Chapter 255: Embarrassed Xu Hongfei

"One million nine hundred and fifty thousand!" After Jiang Ping raised the sign, the auctioneer quoted the latest price.

This price has greatly exceeded the psychological price of others, and only Jiang Ping and Xu Hongfei are still bidding. After Jiang Ping quoted the price, everyone's eyes fell on Xu Hongfei, which made him feel very pressured.

Xu Hongfei, who has a good face, will definitely not admit it in front of so many people, and immediately raised the sign and said loudly: "I will add 100,000!" ”

"Okay, the price of the nineteenth is two million and fifty thousand!" The auctioneer said excitedly: "The blue and white plum vase of the Ming Dynasty, two million and fifty thousand, who else wants to bid?" Mr. Thirty-Five, do you still want to make a bid? ”

Jiang Ping nodded with a big grin, and also raised the number plate and said loudly: "I will also add 100,000!" ”

The auctioneer was excited, and hurriedly said loudly, "The current price is 2.15 million, who else wants to bid?" If no one bids, the gentleman on the thirty-fifth will ......"

How could the arrogant Xu Hongfei tolerate Jiang Ping's limelight overshadowing him? Without waiting for the auctioneer to finish speaking, he announced loudly: "I will pay 2.3 million!" ”

"Two million three thousand, two million three hundred thousand!" The auctioneer immediately announced the new price, while looking at Jiang Ping hopefully, waiting for him to continue bidding.

Seeing that the price of the plum bottle has exceeded 900,000 yuan than expected, Dong Zhen is becoming more and more unhappy. In his opinion, it is completely unnecessary to buy such a plum bottle with more than two million yuan, even if he can buy this plum bottle back, he will not be praised by Chen Yiqun, but will leave him with the impression that his ability to do things is poor.

Instead of spending a lot of money and thanklessly buying this plum vase back, it is better to give up the auction and get this plum vase for Chen Yiqun through other means.

Dong Zhen has even thought about it. When the auction is over, I will first find a way to touch the bottom of Jiang Ping. Just know the specific situation of Jiang Ping. Dong Zhen has a way to get the plum bottle from him.

At this time, Dong Zhen had already retreated immediately. He coughed lightly, and planned to remind Xu Hongfei not to follow Jiang Ping to bid anymore and give him this thing.

However, Jiang Ping was too familiar with Dong Zhen, and just by looking at his expression, he knew that he no longer planned to compete with him. Jiang Ping didn't plan to buy this plum vase in the first place, let alone that he couldn't afford it at this price. The reason why Jiang Ping raised his card was that he wanted Dong Zhen to pay a little more price.

Now that Jiang Ping's goal has been achieved, of course, he will accept it when he sees it. Before Dong Zhen could remind Xu Hongfei, he had already shook his head with a smile and said, "This price is too high." I quit. ”

Seeing that such a competitive customer withdrew, the auctioneer also felt very sorry. However, he still faithfully fulfilled his duties, and after asking three times to make sure that no one was bidding again, the hammer announced that Xu Hongfei had won the Ming blue and white plum vase.

"Let's congratulate this gentleman on the nineteenth!" The auctioneer congratulated Xu Hongfei with a smile on his face, and the other guests who participated in the auction also applauded him, congratulating Xu Hongfei on winning the plum vase.

Even Jiang Ping gave Xu Hongfei a thumbs up very graciously, and seemed to have sympathy for this competitor and admired him very much.

Xu Hongfei was originally a very vain person, and when he saw that everyone was congratulating him, he naturally looked proud. Looking at Jiang Ping's gaze, he was even more contemptuous.

Seeing that this idiot was still complacent with a big head, Dong Zhen was really unbearable. Immediately stood up and said coldly in Xu Hongfei's ear: "You pay for this plum bottle, otherwise don't blame me for being polite!" ”

Leaving this sentence, Dong Zhen threw down Xu Hongfei and left the auction hall directly. At this time, the proud Xu Hongfei felt that something was wrong with the situation, as if he had just spent a lot of effort to buy the Ming Dynasty plum vase, which was not worth boasting about, but did something stupid.

In Xu Hongfei's opinion, it was Jiang Ping's fault that he would be so embarrassed, so he immediately gave him a vicious look, and then hurriedly chased him out.

For Xu Hongfei, it is not a big deal to pay two million to buy antiques by himself. He was worried that he would lose points in front of Dong Zhen because of this matter, so he was naturally in a hurry to explain to the big backer who was hard to find.

Seeing Dong Zhen and Xu Hongfei leave the auction hall one after the other, Jiang Ping's expression was not relaxed. Being able to meet Dong Zhen here today shows that the inertia of fate is still very strong. The entanglements that we had in previous lives will also continue into this life. And Jiang Ping has a hunch that today's auction incident is just the beginning, and there will definitely be more and more conflicts with Dong Zhen in the future.

However, Jiang Ping is still full of confidence in the future, and he is very confident that he can defeat Dong Zhen. After all, he knew Dong Zhen too well, and he could guess the other party's reaction. On the other hand, Jiang Ping in this life is a complete stranger to Dong Zhen, and it is much more difficult for him to find out the details of Jiang Ping.

No matter what happens in the future, Jiang Ping won the first meeting between the two anyway. After squeezing out Dong Zhen and Xu Hongfei, he could finally bid for the few lots he liked with peace of mind.

Jiang Ping's favorite lots are all items that are not of high value at present, but will be highly sought after in a year and a half, and the price will rise rapidly. Only Jiang Ping can pick up such a leak, and it is impossible for others to know the trend of antique prices in the future, and naturally they will not be very enthusiastic to bid with him for these currently relatively unpopular lots.

It is for this reason that Jiang Ping has gained a lot today. At the end of the auction, he spent a total of 630,000 yuan to buy eight of the antiques he liked. Three of them were even sold at the reserve price, and the low price made Jiang Ping's heart bloom.

Of course, Jiang Ping would never let his feelings come out, and he was still very calm on the surface, and others couldn't see that he had actually taken advantage of him.

After the auction, Jiang Ping made the deal with the auction house. After transferring money to the bank, Jiang Pingshun got the eight antiques.

Although these antiques are all small and exquisite, the combined volume is not small, and Jiang Ping alone really can't take them all.

Fortunately, as the largest auction house in Suzhou City, Baoli Company is very thoughtful for its customers. In the vault under the auction house, some of the safes are open to customers. For a small fee, you can rent a safe, which is enough to store all the antiques that Jiang Ping photographed.

Jiang Ping was very satisfied with this intimate service, and immediately rented a safe, and finally temporarily placed all the antiques he had just photographed.

And this also reminded Jiang Ping that since he would handle a large number of antiques in the future, he had to prepare one or two safes. Otherwise, if you are robbed, there is really no place to reason.

In fact, most of Jiang Ping's previous life, he was just thinking about how to open someone else's safe, and basically did not have the habit of using his own safe, so he ignored this problem.

Jiang Ping has always been a man of action, and after placing the antiques, he immediately went to the largest security equipment company in the city and ordered two safes.

Out of the caution left behind in his previous life, Jiang Ping chose the latest model of safe, and the price of each safe was as high as more than 10,000. Therefore, the sales of the security equipment company are also very enthusiastic about him, and they keep introducing how advanced and safe these two safes are. He also swore that no matter how high the level of thieves was, they would be helpless when they saw these two safes, and those who didn't know the password wouldn't even want to open them.

Jiang Ping was very dismissive of the salesman's statement, if he was not afraid of scaring the other party, he would have liked to show off his ability to open the safe in five minutes.

Jiang Ping had seen countless high-security safes in his previous life, but none of them could last more than half an hour under his hands. So for Jiang Ping, these two safes are really not enough.

In fact, Jiang Ping's purchase of these two safes was just a transition. He plans to renovate the two safes himself after he has some time to spare. After the renovation is completed, the safe is called truly safe. I may not dare to say that no one will ever be able to open it, but at least it has been perfectly safe for the last ten years.

Two safes, one delivered to the storefront of the antique street under renovation, and the other was placed in the residence in Huanhua Lane. In this way, Jiang Ping has two places where he can store antiques, which is much more convenient for him.

After dealing with the safe, Jiang Ping began to receive calls from some people he knew or didn't know. These people called Jiang Ping for only one purpose, that is, to ask him to look at his face.

Jiang Ping knew that this must be the effect of looking at Zhang Dongsheng last time. After all, Zhang Dongsheng's mother, Gao Panli, specially called Jiang Ping to thank him for transporting her son. At the same time, Gao Panli also told SΓΉ Jiangping that he would definitely recommend him to his friends. Now it seems that Gao Panli did what she said and did not disappoint Jiang Ping.

Since there are customers who come to the door, Jiang Ping will certainly not refuse. However, he will not be on call as before, but set a rule that he will only show one person every day. As long as Jiang Ping has already shown people the picture that day, he will not show it to the second person, no matter how much money the other party pays, or who to intercede.

Jiang Ping still has a very accurate grasp of the psychology of the customer base, and the more rules there are, the more sought after he becomes. In addition, Jiang Ping's appearance is indeed accurate, so more and more people ask him to look at his appearance. Moreover, this person did not have the slightest complaint about the price of 50,000 yuan at a time, in their opinion, it was already good to be able to invite Master Jiang to look at his face, and as for that money, it was not a problem at all.

In the next half a month, Jiang Ping showed more than a dozen people, almost one per day. Not only did this bring him a lot of money, but also his snobbery escalated again in frequent play. Now the aura contained in Jiang Ping's eyes is enough to support him to use snobbery four times, and there is a significant improvement compared to before.

In addition to the evolution of snobbery, Jiang Ping has also improved significantly in cultivating the Xuankong Technique. After more than half a year of unremitting efforts, his attainments in the Xuankong Technique were about to reach the entry stage. (To be continued......)
