106. Auctions
Xiang Ange looked at the watch on the quilt in his hand and was quite unaccustomed, pulled it, and asked with a smile: "Don't be so grand, I haven't worn a watch for many years." ”
It's really inconvenient at work.,The watch is small.,It's not like a mobile phone will ring.,Xiang Ange sometimes forgets jì when you put it in your hand.,Looking back and thinking about the price of the watch, it's distressing.,Then I simply don't bring it.,Anyway, the function phone of the watch has it.。
Gongzi Jin really brought him well, and even used cufflinks and tie clips to tidy it up, not to mention that he was more handsome than when he usually wore formal clothes, and even wore a little extravagance. "Yes, that kind of place is to look at people with their eyes, if you are too low-key, eighty percent will be stepped on as a soft persimmon."
Xiang Ange, who had always felt that he was a small citizen, looked at himself in the mirror helplessly, and felt that such a dress did not look like he was going to an auction, but like attending a banquet, which was a little different from himself.
He looked back at Gongzi Jin, the clothes of the two were the same color, and Gongzi Jin was one deeper, but his long body was extraordinary, and Xiang Ange deeply felt that even if he studied for a lifetime, he would not be able to learn this kind of domineering.
Gongzi Jin stepped forward and stood beside him, looked at the two people side by side in the mirror with great satisfaction, and then said, "Let's go." ”
Xiang Ange nodded and followed, only to find that it was not the two of them who went to the auction this time, in addition to the assistant Yu Yihua, there was also a very beautiful-looking secretary, wearing a black deep V group with hips, looking very sexy and hot.
Yu Yihua had a good relationship with the two bosses, and when they got into the car, he smiled and quipped: "Mr. Xiang is really handsome today." ”
Xiang Ange smiled and said, "Assistant Yu is also very energetic. ”
The woman next to Yu Yihua is called Xiao Qiao, and she is also a member of the company's secretarial group, but in addition to the group meeting, she saw Xiang Ange for the first time, so she took a private look, and secretly said that she was really lucky, the two top bosses are handsome guys, but it's a pity that these two handsome guys seem to be self-produced and sold, and nothing happens to her.
The car went all the way to the suburbs, and asked Ange: "Except for Bian Lao's gift, do you have anything you want to photograph?" ”
Gongzi Jin said indifferently: "I heard that there are some good things this time, if you have something you like, buy some, and it will be good to use it yourself or send it away for friendship in the future." ”
This is not particularly wanted, and when the car stopped, Xiang Ange was a little surprised and said, "Here? ”
It looks like an ordinary yard, and it doesn't look like a place where such a high-end auction is held, especially before the auction, and everyone is required to dress in formal attire.
Gongzi Jin said lightly: "The habit of the eldest young master of the Xu family likes to play tricks. ”
It is not difficult to see from the words that Gongzi Jin does not seem to deal with this eldest young master. Yu Yihua explained with a smile, "Don't look at this place as inconspicuous, after you go in, you will know what it means to have a cave." ”
Indeed, after walking in the door, Xiang Ange knew what it meant to be a different cave, and if he hadn't looked up and could see the same sky, he would have almost thought that he had come to a different world. Walking around the nine curves and eighteen turns, it took a while to reach the main hall, this place is not very large, a little counting, at most fifty people can sit, a small area in the middle is probably used for auctions, and the red carpet has been rolled out at this time.
There were already a lot of people in the hall, all of them were well-dressed and dressed, and even if they were talking, they lowered their voices and looked very stylish.
Xiang Ange was probably affected by such an atmosphere, and the whole person was a lot stricter, Gongzi Jin laughed when he saw it, and said in his ear: "It's all pretended." ”
Xiao Qiao next to him was stunned, and secretly said that the big boss of the iceberg didn't know how to laugh, but if he laughed, he would be tired of laughing. Sure enough, the next moment, I saw Gongzi Jin directly pulling Xiang Ange to a fixed position and sitting down, and there were some delicate snacks on the table, which didn't look like an auction, but like a small tea party between friends.
Xiang Ange looked around and couldn't help but ask: "This place doesn't look like an auction, isn't it all valuable, what if someone makes trouble?" ”
Yu Yihua explained: "Don't look at this place in general, in fact, there are several layers of security inside and out, and there is surveillance everywhere, so it's not easy to make trouble here." ”
Gongzi Jin saw him subconsciously go to the monitor, and said: "The most important thing is not the security here, but the boss here, the eldest young master of the Xu family, anyone in Kyoto will sell him a little face, and the auctions he holds invite are all important people, and if you want to move, you have to think about your head." ”
Xiang Ange made it clear that there is a backer behind the emotional family, and ordinary people can't move. Not long after a group of them sat down, people came over to say hello one after another, of course, they were all coming for Gongzi Jin, and Xiang Ange qualified as a background, but secretly thought that Gongzi Jin was quite popular in this circle, and almost most people knew him.
If Xiang Ange knew that Gongzi Jin's fame was famous by ruthless means, he probably wouldn't be so proud. Although there is the Zhou family as a backer, when Jin'an developed back then, there were not no people who were not afraid of death, but the fate of these people can be seen by looking at the attitude of these people now.
This kind of entertainment did not last long, and when the seats were full, soon the auction began, and he glanced at Ange, all the places were no more and one no less, apparently according to the number of people.
Participating in such an auction for the first time, Xiang Anger flipped through the brochure with great interest, looked at the beautiful pictures and explanations on it, and flipped through it from beginning to end before saying, "I think this teapot is good, the master should like it." ”
It was a purple sand teapot, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, it was very well preserved, and Xiang Anger remembered that Bian Lao loved to drink tea, and this teapot could be used if he took it home.
Gongzi Jin glanced at it, nodded and said, "It's not bad, you can see if there is anything else you like." ”
Xiang Ange didn't find what he liked, Yu Yihua took several things in the name of Jin An at the suggestion of Gongzi Jin, all of which were antiques that were not very old, among which a blue and white porcelain was the most expensive, nearly two million.
Xiang Ange looked at the staggering price, and secretly said that antiques are really not something that ordinary people can afford.
But Gongzi Jin also said: "Because it is a private small auction, the prices of these things are not too outrageous, everyone is more sensible, and once it exceeds their psychological price, they will stop bidding." If you put it in a large auction and operate it secretly, the price can rise by 50%. ”
Xiang Ange felt that he really couldn't understand the world, and secretly waited for the things he liked to come out, but the purple sand teapot he liked hadn't come out yet, but he saw something unexpected.
It was a row of jade bottles made of Hetian jade, which looked like they were used to hold pills in ancient costume films, and judging from the color, these bottles were very good.
Xiang Ange was puzzled by the promotional page of this batch of bottles, at first glance, it was really used to put pills, but this bottle is not big or small, it can neither be used for decoration nor for playing, although the jade quality is rare, but the enthusiasm of the people present for the auction is obviously not great.
Gongzi Jin glanced at him and asked in a low voice, "Do you like it?" ”
Xiang Ange was really a little interested, so he said, "It can just be used to put pills." ”
Gongzi Jin nodded, Xiao Qiao had already raised a sign, there were six bottles in total, and the reserve price was 100,000 yuan, this price was estimated to be not enough for raw materials, and when Xiao Qiao joined the competition, the price had reached 300,000.
When the price reached 500,000, the number of auctioners gradually decreased, and Xiang Ange felt that it was really a bit expensive, but he liked it a little in his heart, but he didn't feel much distressed.
Gongzi Jin felt that he was very cute because he was in pain and liked it, and squeezed his hand in private.
Xiang Ange struggled slightly, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to those bottles now, and his mind was full of the guy who gently hooked his palm.
However, the auction over there was not so smooth, and after Xiao Qiao joined the auction, suddenly a foreign friend also participated, and every time the price was raised, he was very generous, and he looked like he would not give up if he didn't get those bottles.
When Xiang Ange came back to his senses, the price had soared to more than one million, he frowned, and subconsciously looked back at the foreigner, only to see that he smiled at him kindly, and it seemed that there was no malicious intent.
The price of the bottle has far exceeded expectations, Xiang Ange hesitated for a moment, but still said to Gongzi Jin: "It's too expensive, forget it, this price is enough for me to make a batch of jade bottles by myself." ”
Gongzi Jin glanced at the gringo behind him, and said lightly: "It's okay, we have money." ”
"You can't be so willful if you have money." Xiang Ange glared at him speechlessly, the main thing is that he doesn't have to ask for this bottle, but he just thinks it's appropriate, if he doesn't have it, it's nothing, so he said directly to Xiao Qiao, "No more bidding." ”
Xiao Qiao subconsciously glanced at Gongzi Jin, but saw that he didn't say anything, Yu Yihua was still experienced, and when he knew that the big boss was in front of people, he would never refute Mr. Xiang's opinion, and glanced at Xiao Qiao. Xiao Qiao was clever and hurriedly said, "Okay, Mr. Xiang." ”
The auction stopped here, and the medicine bottle soon became famous, and Xiang Ange didn't value anything he liked, so he waited intently for the purple sand teapot to come out.
As soon as the teapot came out, this commonly used utensil, there were obviously more people interested in it than Fang Cai, and the more Xiang Ange looked at it, the more satisfied he felt, the real thing did not seem to be vacant, but it had been used by someone, and it was in very good condition, and the old man would definitely like it when he looked at it.
"That's it." For his master, Xiang Ange was generous, and felt that spending more money was nothing, and when Gongzi Jin heard it, he was unceremonious when he raised the price.
As soon as he heard the voice of the foreigner behind him, Xiang Ange couldn't help frowning, and secretly said that this guy won't rob again! He glanced back and saw that the man smiled kindly at him again.
What the hell does this guy mean, Xiang Ange was still worried about the competition of the foreigner again, but fortunately, he stopped after calling the price a few times, although the price of the purple sand teapot was high, it was not very outrageous.
Xiang Ange nodded with satisfaction, and said with a relaxed smile: "Now the old man is going to be happy, go back and let him make tea for us to drink." ”
Gongzi Jin's eyes narrowed when he saw him laughing, and said with a smile: "Okay, when the time comes, he will pull me to play chess, don't run." ”
Xiang Ange touched his nose embarrassedly, these two people played Go for most of the day, how could he have the patience to watch it all the time, and would rather sneak away to pinch the pills.
After an auction, the most expensive things are worth five million, and the cheapest ones are more than 100,000, the things that Jin An bought are not too expensive, but the number of things bought is quite a lot, adding up to more than 10 million, Xiang Ange is inevitably speechless, Gongzi Jin smiled and said: "These things can be returned exponentially when you turn back." ”
"Mr. Xiang?" Suddenly, an accented voice interjected, and when he looked back at Ange, it was the foreigner who had just slapped the medicine bottle, this foreigner had very bright red hair, a tall and straight figure, deep facial features, and a pair of eyes that seemed to have a deep affection when they looked at it.
Xiang Ange was slightly stunned, he always felt that this man looked at him with a little temptation in his eyes, he was subconsciously a little defensive, and asked, "Hello, may I ask who you are?" ”
"Richard Lewis, I'm a friend of George." The man smiled slightly, and seemed to be very personable, but in fact he just stood there, giving people a pressure that could not be ignored.
Rothschild was the only George he met with Ange, but in that person's capacity, his friend was probably not an ordinary person.
Thinking of this, Xiang Ange was a little detached, and although he smiled, he was obviously much colder: "Hello, Mr. Louis. ”
As soon as Louis heard this name, his eyes moved slightly, and the son Jin next to him had already put his hand on Xiang Ange's waist, and the posture of the protector was clear at a glance. Gongzi Jin looked coldly at the man opposite, the eyes of the two people clashed in the air, and there was lightning and thunder for a while, and Yu Yihua and Xiao Qiao next to him both noticed the obvious killing intent.
But soon, Louis smiled, looked away very gracefully, and said to Xiang Ange: "I just saw that Mr. Xiang is very interested in those jade bottles, so let's take it as a meeting gift." ”
A black bodyguard stepped forward and stuffed a box into Yu Yihua's hand, and returned to Louis very coldly.
Without giving Ange a chance to refuse, Louis nodded and led the man away, leaving a meaningful smile.
Yu Yihua opened the box and saw that it was indeed a row of bottles with brushes, which were even more exquisite on the red flannel, but Xiang Ange frowned and muttered: "Nothing to do, either treachery or theft." ”
