Li Yong drove from Kaifeng, and after leaving the city, he drove on the mountain road for about half an hour before coming to this mountain villa located halfway up the mountain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It snowed heavily last night, and the sun was shining brightly on the snow-capped European-style manors, making people feel like they were back in 17th century Europe.

At this time, there were more than a dozen security personnel standing at the gate of the villa, wearing sunglasses on their faces and holding walkie-talkies in their hands, looking around vigilantly. When Hu Debiao's Mercedes-Benz sedan drove to the gate of the villa, the security guards came up vigilantly and asked Hu Debiao to show the invitation to the auction.

Although the auction is private, the security is extremely strict, and no one is allowed to enter the villa without an invitation. I am afraid that this is also because some of the auction items displayed in this private auction are not visible, and the boss who organized this auction is also afraid of causing some trouble and attracting the police.

After carefully reviewing the invitation letter in Hu Debiao's hand, the security guard at the gate of the villa asked his car to park at the gate of the villa, and then asked someone to drive a shuttle car over and drive Qin Fan and Hu Debiao towards the building in the villa.

Qin Fan noticed that the manor was built in the style of a European-style court, with garden houses and a vineyard near the villa. In the summer, this mountain resort is sure to be a great place to escape the heat.

"Mr. Hu, who is organizing this auction, this pomp is big enough."

The auction starts at 3 p.m. and runs into the evening. At this time, many guests who participated in this private auction came one after another.

To Qin Fan's surprise, several of the guests who came to the auction were second- and third-tier female stars who often appeared on TV and newspapers. These female stars dressed up as if they were going to attend a banquet held by the European court, dressed up in flowers, and holding the men around them with a smile on their faces.

Those female stars who can only be seen on TV or movies really appeared in front of him, and Qin Fan suddenly had a feeling of inauthenticity.

"Hehe, brother, don't look at these female stars standing tall in front of ordinary people, in the eyes of some powerful and powerful people, they are just good-looking vases. The big bosses around them are the real financiers, and their strength is no worse than me, the real estate king. ”

Hu Debiao smiled a little self-deprecatingly, although he is a real estate tycoon with a big name in Luzhou, he can't do it when he looks at the whole country.

Qin Fan's personality is relatively calm and calm, but he will not show timidity at this time. It's just that the eyeballs can't help but stay on those showy female stars for two more seconds.

"Hiss~"

At this time, Qin Fan couldn't help but gasp with a pain in his waist, but he was pinched hard by Wang Mengqi on the soft flesh on his waist.

"Hmph, you men are all virtuous, and you can't take your eyes off when you see a beautiful woman." Wang Mengqi glanced at Qin Fan angrily, and there was a hint of disdain in her bright eyes.

Qin Fan grinned in pain, buddy just looked at it and didn't have any other ideas, besides, what ideas did he have, and the female stars didn't agree, this time he was really wronged.

"I said Boss Shen, the time is almost up, let's almost start."

In the auction hall, a little old man with black teeth said to the tall middle-aged man in a white suit.

This Boss Shen should be the organizer of this private auction, and looking at the demeanor of the guests present, it seems that this Boss Shen's background should be not shallow.

"Mr. Hu, what is this Boss Shen doing?" Qin Fan lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"Boss Shen is very mysterious, I have only met him a few times, and I am not very familiar with him. I only know that this Boss Shen is from Jinling, and it is said that he is also the descendant of Shen Wansan, who is rich and rival in history. ”

Speaking of Shen Wansan, presumably all the officials will be familiar with it.

Shen Wansan, formerly known as Shen Fu, was the richest man in Jiangnan in the late Yuan and early Ming dynasties. Qin Fan remembered that Xiangjiang filmed a TV series played by Zhang Weijian, which was the story of Shen Wansan.

Regarding the legend of Shen Wansan, the most widely spread is the cornucopia.

It is rumored that during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a rich man named Shen Wansan in Shenjia Village. One year there was a drought, and the plants and trees died. But the long-term workers of Shen Wansan's family can cut a bundle of green and tender grass every day.

Later, Shen Wansan followed the long-term worker to a circular meadow, and saw that there was green grass growing here, so he asked the long-term worker to cut the grass. I don't know that after the man finished mowing the grass, grass soon grew on the grass again.

Shen Wansan felt very strange, and finally figured it out after thinking about it, this place is close to Phoenix Mountain in the southwest, as the saying goes, the phoenix does not fall into the land of no treasure, there must be treasures under this grassland. So the next day, Shen Wansan took people to the grass to dig treasures, and sure enough, he dug up an iron basin.

After Debao, Shen Wansan used this iron basin to feed the pigs, and the pigs grew quickly. Once, when his daughter-in-law was washing her face, she accidentally dropped a ring into the basin, and as a result, the ring was more and more fished.

A few years later, when the Yangtze River burst, Emperor Hongwu issued a proclamation that "whoever can block the Yangtze River breach will be allowed to be a high-ranking official." After Shen Wansan saw it, he went to uncover the notice, took the cornucopia to Jinling at that time to negotiate with Emperor Hongwu on the terms, and then went to the Yangtze River break to put a handful of soil in the cornucopia, and sure enough, the breach was blocked.

But later, Emperor Hongwu reversed his word and sent him to YN under the pretext that Shen Wansan did not offer the treasure, and after the cornucopia blocked the Yangtze River breach, it became the soil plain, and legend has it that the cornucopia fell under the Zhonghua Gate in Jinling. In the Republic of China, the authorities heard that Shen Wansan's cornucopia was buried under the Zhonghua Gate, so they ordered to dig a hole to extract the treasure, but they dug and dug and did not find the cornucopia.

This cornucopia is, of course, just folklore and not to be believed. However, Shen Wansan's descendants are not extinct, but have been passed down from generation to generation.

"I'm really sorry Zhou Lao, there is still an important guest who has not arrived, and he will start as soon as he arrives." Boss Shen said apologetically.

"What kind of guests can make Boss Shen pay so much attention, I want to see it."

Beside Zhou Lao, a fat man with seven or eight gold rings on his hand, like an upstart face, said arrogantly.

This fat man had a cigar in his mouth, but his eyes were dishonestly aimed at several hot female stars around him, and finally landed on Wang Mengqi's body.

"Lao Hu, this chick is quite ponctual, is it your new Xiaomi, right?"

The fat man seemed to know Hu Debiao's appearance, and his obscene gaze swept Wang Mengqi unscrupulously.

Wang Mengqi's two beautiful willow eyebrows were upside down, making this fat man's disgusting lunch about to vomit, and scolded unceremoniously, "Dead fatty, get away from the old lady." Otherwise, the old lady will gouge out your eyeballs! ”

"Ouch, my temper is quite explosive." The nouveau riche sneered and said to Hu Debiao, "Old Hu, don't blame my brother for not giving you face, this little chick is done today, whoever stops him will die!" ”

No matter how beautiful a woman is, in the eyes of this fat man, she is just a plaything, as long as she has money, any woman can handle it.

Hearing this, Hu Debiao was also a little angry. Wang Mengqi is the person he brought, and this fat man went crazy in public against Wang Mengqi, just not to give him face.

"Old Qian, I advise you not to be so arrogant. If she's missing a hair, no one can protect you. ”

This fat man is the coal mine king of Jin Province, and the price of coal has risen in recent years, making him a lot of money and accumulating thousands of family fortunes. However, the rise of the fat man is too fast, and in the eyes of the real wealthy, he is just a nouveau riche from the countryside.

If he really dares to touch a single hair of Wang Mengqi, I am afraid that he will be wiped out immediately.

"Paralyzed, Lao Tzu is still moving, what can you do to me?" Qian Fatzi didn't expect Hu Debiao to turn his face with him in public for a woman, and suddenly a wave of anger rushed to his head, and he was about to attack on the spot.

At this moment, a burly man walked into the auction hall, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent, and everyone's eyes were focused on that man.

Qin Fan looked up and saw that it was a coincidence, he had met an acquaintance here.

This burly man was none other than the Nalan Xuan from the Nalan family in the three eastern provinces that Qin Fan met in the Meng family.

"Little Lord Nalan!"

"I didn't expect Boss Shen to invite someone from the Nalan family."

The Nalan family in the Northeast has a profound heritage, not much worse than those Yanjing wealthy families, and it can be regarded as a big family that ranks first in the Republic. At least here, no one has dared to touch the tiger whiskers of the Nalan family.

Just now, he was shouting to see Boss Shen's distinguished guest, but when he heard Nalan Xuan's name, his face changed, and he glared at Hu Debiao, and he didn't dare to be mad at this time.

With the assets and background of the fat man, I am afraid that he is not worthy of lifting shoes for Nalan Xuan.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started."

Since it is a private auction, it is naturally not as formal as those large-scale international auctions, and the process of displaying lots and bidding is relatively casual.

The first batch of auction items that Boss Shen took out were the ones listed on the leaflet, all of which were common antique calligraphy and paintings, and there were nothing particularly rare and precious.

"I said Boss Shen, let's stop looking at these things, let's go straight to the point."

This Zhou Lao obviously came for the other treasures hidden in Boss Shen's hands, and he didn't even look at the first batch of auction items.

"Zhou Lao doesn't have to worry, the next auction items will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Boss Shen clapped his hands, only to see two security guards carry out a brightly colored Changhua bloodstone and carefully place it on the long table in front of everyone.

The moment they saw this bloodstone, everyone's eyes lit up.
