Chapter Ninety-Eight: Lighting the Sky Lantern

The Treasure Pavilion is an ancient building. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The floor plan is rectangular, with three rooms in the front, a corridor around it, and three floors and three eaves.

The roof is a four-slope helmet top, covered with yellow glazed tiles, and the wing angle is high, such as a dragon roaring in the sky.

"Hello Uncle Fu."

When she arrived at the front of the building, Hua Meijing greeted an old man with a smile.

The old man called Laifu, the business of the Treasure Pavilion has always been taken care of by him, and when he saw the beautiful scenery of the flowers, he only nodded slightly, and then moved his gaze to Wei Wuji.

"This is Wei Wuji, the owner of the gold ingot."

Hua Meijing hurriedly made an introduction.

Laifu had an extremely strange temperament, but still did not speak, but waved his hand behind him.

A strong man in black standing behind him walked up to Wei Wuji in two steps and said, "Give me the box." ”

"Are you sure?"

Wei Wuji asked kindly.

"Of course!"

The strong man in black stretched out his hands with a look of contempt.

Wei Wuji had no choice but to shove the suitcase over and let go.

I heard a scream of "ah", the suitcase fell to the ground, smashed into the feet of the strong man in black, and the sound of broken bones was completely overshadowed by the scream.

The strong man in black burst into tears of pain, squatted on the ground, and pushed the suitcase with both hands, but the suitcase did not move.

Wei Wuji shrugged his shoulders and said in his heart that he couldn't blame me for this.

Laifu's face did not change, and his thin hand grabbed the handle and actually lifted the suitcase.

This suitcase weighs a thousand pounds.

In the Treasure Pavilion, there is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.

The feet of the strong man in black were smashed to pieces, and it hurt to look at it, and he was soon sent to the hospital.

Rifle carries a suitcase and leads the way in front, with a brisk step.

This made Wei Wuji's heart solemn, and he didn't dare to laugh at Laifu's name anymore.

When I arrived at a guest room on the third floor, there were six old men sitting in them, all dressed in long robes, leaning back in their chairs and closing their eyes to recuperate.

Hearing someone coming in, they all opened their eyes.

Rifle didn't speak, he put the suitcase on the ground, unzipped it, and the dazzling golden light shot out, and the whole room was reflected in gold.

The six old men couldn't keep their composure, threw themselves in front of the suitcase, took out a magnifying glass, knocked and touched, and looked excited.

"This gold ingot is nothing extraordinary."

In the end, the six old men came to the same conclusion.

Wei Wuji was dumbfounded when he heard this, damn it, these six old monsters shouldn't be immortals!

Laifu's face also waved, and he asked for the first time, "What about the valuation?" ”

"500 million starting shots!"

The six old men discussed with each other, and the estimates they gave were scary enough.

If these ten gold ingots are sold only for gold, they can be sold for up to 150 million yuan, and now they are put up for auction, and the starting price given by experts has directly tripled.

It seems that not all specialists are bricks.

"What about the proposal?"

Rifle asked again.

"Definitely qualified to be the third lot of the night, and it can be the finale."

The opinions of the six experts were surprisingly unanimous.

Laifu nodded and said: "This thing has a price and no market, can it be sold, the Treasure Pavilion does not dare to guarantee the ticket, the two of you will go to rest, and the auction will not start at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

"Then my gold ingots ......"

Leaving the treasure worth 500 million yuan here like this, Wei Wuji is not very relieved.

Laifu Lao glared at him, and said coldly: "If it is damaged or lost, the Treasure Pavilion will compensate ten times." ”

"That's good!"

Wei Wuji was not afraid of losing face, and immediately went to the guest room with Hua Meijing to rest.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the auction officially began.

Wei Wuji and Hua Meijing are arranged in the private seats on the second floor, and the small tables are placed with high-end snacks and red wines, etc., which are served free of charge by the Treasure Pavilion.

After tasting a sip of red wine, Wei Wuji was surprised to find that it was actually the most high-end Taoyuan wine, priced at 100,000 yuan a bottle.

The Treasure Pavilion is really rich and capricious.

The auction of the Treasure Pavilion is held from time to time, and there is a strange rule, each auction is limited to three pieces, of course, they are all good treasures worth hundreds of millions.

The people who can come to the Treasure Pavilion to participate in the auction are none other than the rich people in China, and they are all arranged in the private seats on the second floor, covered by a curtain, and their identities are kept secret.

Therefore, the auction of the Treasure Pavilion is not only not lively, but even very deserted.

But as long as it's good, it can definitely sell for the highest price here.

The auctioneer was a young girl, dressed in an embroidered cheongsam, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face, who spoke like a yellow warbler singing.

"In addition to Huo Xianxian, this Huang Yingying is also the woman I once loved, but it's a pity that it's ......"

Hua Meijing held the binoculars, looked at the yellow warbler obsessively, put down the binoculars suddenly, and poured a glass of wine.

It's a pity that I can't get it.

Wei Wuji only found it funny.

The first two auction items were both sold at a sky-high price of more than 200 million.

"The last auction item will be the highlight of the night."

Huang Yingying smiled like a flower, and said softly: "Please appreciate the gold ingots of the God of Wealth." ”

She reached out and tore off the red curtain on one side, revealing ten neatly arranged gold ingots.

The light of the gold ingots, reflecting the surroundings, caused an exclamation.

Even gold shines, but it is the first time that everyone has seen such a dazzling golden light.

"Each gold ingots weigh 100 catties, identified by six experts in the Treasure Pavilion, this gold ingots are antiques, the age is unknown, but it is by no means a modern technology can be made."

Huang Yingying made a brief introduction, and then went straight to the point, saying: "Ten together, not a single auction, the starting price is 500 million, and the price increase is not less than 10 million each time, please bid!" ”

Although this gold ingot is indeed very rare and attractive, the starting price of 500 million is enough to intimidate a large number of people.

The bidders present are all old customers of the Treasure Pavilion, and they know that the Treasure Pavilion never cheats, even if the treasure is auctioned at a sky-high price, it is definitely worth the money.

However, spending 500 million to buy a thousand catties of gold, anyone will hesitate.

"Bid!"

Huang Yingying shouted again.

Wei Wuji felt embarrassed, turned his head and asked, "Meijing, what will happen if no one bids?" ”

"This ......"

Hua Meijing's face was a little ugly, and said: "Then even if the auction is canceled, we can choose to auction again next time, or we can leave with the auction items, but no matter what, we have to pay the commission for this auction, that is, ten percent of the starting price, a total of 50 million." ”

No way!

Wei Wuji's face darkened when he heard this.

Now he has nothing else to ask for, just hope that someone can bid and auction it out for 500 million, except for the commission, it is definitely a big profit.

"Look, there's someone lighting a sky lantern."

"That's where I came to be."

There was a commotion all around.

Outside a box on the third floor, a red lantern suddenly hung out.

The light is soft, symbolizing the trench.

"Now it's good!"

Hua Meijing breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "The so-called lighting of the sky lantern means that before the bidding of a round of bidding, if someone lights the sky lantern, no matter how high the final bidder bids, the person who lights the sky lantern will pay, and if no one bids, the starting price is the final transaction price." ”

Dare to light a sky lantern means that a certain auction item is imperative.

"What's the reason for this?"

Wei Wuji looked at the sky lantern and felt like the sky was opening his eyes.

Hua Meijing sighed: "Come to the old is the pavilion master of the Treasure Pavilion, come to the old and light the sky lantern, I don't think anyone will bid." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bell ring on the left.

Everyone was taken aback, it was someone who wanted to increase the price.
