Chapter Seventy-Three: True Thirty-Eight
In her opinion, anyway, this bottle of wine is going to be taken back to the Diao family, and in the end, it all goes into Lu Qinghuan and her stomach, so it doesn't matter who shoots it.
Lu Qinghuan understood what she meant, neither of them cared about this little money, so why fight for it.
Therefore, he bowed his head slightly, smiled and said, "Come on, I'm very lazy." β
Diao Ranran was not polite, beckoned, and also asked for a bidding sign from the waiter next to him. It is very interesting that the bidding board designed by the organizer is actually the appearance of an ancient wine bottle, and the guests present only need to raise it once, which means that the price will be increased once and participate in the bidding.
She took the little copper wine bottle in her hand and played with it, and thought it was very funny. Although it was not the first time to participate in the auction, since this time it was a red wine auction, Diao Ranran still felt a little novel and nervous.
"Do you have a mental estimate of the price, and we'll stop if it is more than that?"
She leaned closer to Lu Qinghuan and asked in a low voice.
Although there is a great sense of pleasure in grabbing something in a group of people, Diao Ranran doesn't want to be wronged.
Lu Qinghuan smiled even more heartily, touched his chin, and replied: "Everything in this world is valuable, but it is difficult to buy me happy." So, it's good if you're happy, there's no estimate, you think it's worth it, isn't it?"
Hearing him say this, Diao Ranran was even more bold, gearing up, just waiting for the official bidding later.
The two of you come and go, you ask me and I answer, it is clear that you don't take the other people sitting next to you seriously, the others are okay, Zhan Xingchuan is almost angry, he has no special preference for red wine, and he didn't think about bringing two bottles of wine back before coming. But now, the dialogue between Diao Ranran and Lu Qinghuan as if no one was next to him stimulated him fiercely.
"Do you want it? Women drink red wine is good for the body, you can drink a small glass before going to bed. β
He turned his head to look at Yu Youwei and asked her with an earnest expression.
Unexpectedly, Yu Youwei shook her head very uncooperatively, bit her lip and replied: "I don't dare to drink casually, I haven't asked Dr. Liu, so don't buy it indiscriminately, it's very expensive and wasteful." β
Zhan Xingchuan was distressed and helpless, held her hand, and said, "What is wasteful? β
At the same time, he felt a little self-blame in his heart, it seems that after Yu Youwei is better, he will take her out for a walk and see the world more. It's good to be a small jasper, but if you are always so small, you have to bear a certain responsibility.
Yu Youwei pursed her lips and smiled delicately at Zhan Xingchuan, without speaking, just lowering her head slightly, and her pointed jaw was extremely cute.
How good is this, no matter what she says or does, she supports herself unconditionally and will never refute herself, unlike that woman, who is as uncomfortable as if she doesn't do it against herself!
Zhan Xingchuan couldn't help but think wildly in his heart, and unconsciously scratched Yu Youwei's hands.
She endured it, and didn't pull her hand out, but her face was a little pale.
Fortunately, the emcee's speech on the stage made the guests present focus all their attention on the stage in front of them, and Zhan Xingchuan also withdrew his hand, sat up straight, and waited to listen to the emcee introduce the first bottle of wine auctioned.
"The auction is about to begin. Next, I would like to introduce you to the first bottle of wine, which is made in France......"
The emcee's extremely inflammatory words made many people start to be stupid, holding the wine bottle in their hands, waiting for the filming to start.
Sure enough, when he quoted the reserve price, everyone began to increase the price one after another, and the scene looked very hot and lively, and the sound of price increase came from different directions in the hall.
The master of ceremonies enthusiastically continued to incite, eager to sell the red wine on the stage at sky-high prices.
Diao Ranran didn't particularly shout the price frequently at first, and occasionally increased the price, but she was soon overtaken, she was not annoyed, she smiled and continued to wait, wait a few more rounds, and shout again.
Lu Qinghuan on the side beckoned to a waiter beside him, and soon, a tall thin man in a suit walked over.
"Mr. Li, the wine is okay, but it doesn't have much collection value, so it's more appropriate to drink it yourself. However, it is very suitable for you to take the next bottle and give it away for yourself. β
The man leaned down slightly and whispered in Lu Qinghuan's ear.
Obviously, this is a professional wine broker.
Lu Qinghuan nodded, turned his head to look at Diao Ranran, and said with a smile: "Let it go, wait a minute." I'll call for you the second bottle, and you just need to be responsible for lifting the decanter. β
Although she was puzzled, she also understood that since Lu Qinghuan said so, he must have his reasons, and a character like him who does not take advantage and suffers losses will definitely not have problems in this kind of thing.
Therefore, Diao Ranran nodded directly, happy to be idle.
Sure enough, although the auction for the first bottle of red wine was lively, everyone's price increase was very limited, and the final auction price was not very high, and it was auctioned away by a wine collector.
When the second bottle came up, as soon as he heard the introduction read by the master of ceremonies, Diao Ranran's eyes suddenly lit up.
ββ¦β¦ It is famous for its origins in the famous ChΓ’teau Bosto, France, where nature has created a unique soil, a heart and light conditions, combined with a certain ineffable spirituality endowed by God, so that the wines produced here are unparalleled......"
The master of ceremonies excitedly introduced the bottle of red wine next to him, under the illumination of the whole audience, through the glass bottle, you can vaguely see the color of the wine, which is a deep ruby red, similar to rosewood, very heavy.
The agent was right, the starting price of this bottle was five times that of the first bottle, and the price was a bit high, which inevitably discouraged some of the guests present, so the competition was not very fierce at first.
Taking advantage of his free time, Diao Ranran quickly took out his mobile phone and searched the Internet.
"ChΓ’teau Potus is the first of the eight Bordeaux wines, and is currently the king of Bordeaux's best quality and most expensive wines. It was the wedding wine of Queen Elizabeth and was a favorite of President Kennedy, the owner of the White House......"
No wonder it's so expensive, she secretly smacked her tongue, a bottle of 2011 vintage on the Internet will be sold for more than 30,000 yuan, not to mention the bottle in front of her, the grade is several grades higher.
"One hundred and eighty-eight thousand. β
The first time Lu Qinghuan shouted the price, he directly added 88,000 yuan, although no one present was short of 108,000 yuan, but there were still not many people who spent more than 200,000 yuan to buy a bottle of wine, not to mention that this is not a professional wine auction agency, and many people are secretly estimating the value of this bottle of wine.
Diao Ranran hurriedly raised the wine bottle in his hand, and his white and slender wrist was particularly conspicuous.
The two looked at each other and smiled very tacitly, and both had a feeling that they were about to go on stage and take the bottle of wine down.
Unexpectedly, someone next to him suddenly said: "Two hundred and fifty thousand." β
This price...... Although it is reasonable, but when it is raised to this price all of a sudden, it is obvious that it means not to let others do it.
The person who made the bid was Zhan Xingchuan.
He glanced at Diao Ranran defiantly, his chin slightly raised.
She instinctively glared back, not wanting to deal with him, but she was really angry.
Prior to this, Zhan Xingchuan didn't even raise a card, and he looked absent-minded, everyone thought he didn't care, but he didn't expect it to be a big one.
He made such a fuss, there were originally five or six people shouting for the price, but now they all stopped and waited to watch the show.
Actually, everyone is secretly wondering, it seems that they haven't heard any rumors of disagreement between Lu Qinghuan and Zhan Xingchuan before, generally on this occasion, as long as someone reveals what they want, the people around them are not too good at fighting, but just now Zhan Xingchuan's expression is clearly targeted.
Therefore, everyone also wants to see if Lu Qinghuan will accept the recruitment.
If he does, he will raise the price by how much.
"Twenty eighty eighty thousand. β
Lu Qinghuan smiled slightly and gave an answer, which also satisfied everyone's curiosity.
Diao Ranran was a little annoyed on the side, she didn't understand wine, so she didn't know whether 288,000 was expensive or cheap for this bottle of wine.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand. β
Zhan Xingchuan's face did not change, and said casually.
Lu Qinghuan nodded slightly, "Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand." β
Zhan Xingchuan raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Here you go, I don't want it." β
The audience was in an uproar.
They are still waiting to see if the price offered by Zhan Xingchuan this time will be 450,000.
Unexpectedly, it was all over as soon as it was qiΔ, and everyone still hadn't come back to their senses.
The master of ceremonies on the stage was also a little stunned, and was stunned before asking: "Three, three hundred and eighty-eight, is there any higher?" Three hundred and eighty-eight thousand, twice, three times...... Deal!"
So, without any suspense, Lu Qinghuan took a picture of this bottle of wine with 388,000 yuan.
The agent next to him was a little nervous, and hurriedly leaned over and said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, you can collect it for two years first, and then its price will increase a little......"
Frankly speaking, 388,000, according to the current global selling price level, it is indeed a bit expensive, probably about 100,000 yuan more.
However, Lu Qinghuan didn't care at all, it was only 100,000 yuan.
If Zhan Xingchuan thought that letting him put 100,000 yuan of blood was something that made him feel distressed and uncomfortable, then he really didn't know whether to call him stupid or simple.
"Well, I just think that three hundred and eighty-eight, three hundred and eighty-eight, is quite appropriate. β
Zhan Xingchuan pretended to be humorous, and glanced at Diao Ranran, who was sitting diagonally opposite.
She understood, he was sarcastically saying that he was a three-eight.
"Concession. β
Lu Qinghuan stood up, went to the stage to get the wine, everyone applauded and congratulated, after he came down, he casually gave the wine to the people next to him, asked them to put it away, and took it away for a while.
"Tonight before going to bed, let's share it together. I take the wine to your room, I love your balcony. β
He said with a smile, not at all shy away from it.
The people around all pricked up their ears, what, your room......?!
"You ......"
Zhan Xingchuan was also stunned, and couldn't help but ask out loud, not feeling that he had anything to do with this topic.
"Really three-eight. β
Diao Ranran whispered, not pointing to a specific person, but the scolding was naturally Zhan Xingchuan.
