Chapter 249: Charity Auction

Chapter 249 Charity Auction

Just when Sima Liang and Dongfang Long were chatting energetically, a bell rang from nowhere. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 Immediately Sima Liang found that the guests who were originally wandering began to look for seats in an orderly manner. After Dongfang Long's explanation, I knew that this was a reminder that the antique auction was coming.

At this time, several of Dongfang Long's buddies also stood up and said goodbye, and it seemed that they were going back to their elders. And Dongfang Long also pulled Sima Liang to stand up, and began to look around looking for something. Seeing Sima Liang's puzzled eyes, he remembered that this brother-in-law had never participated in this kind of banquet.

"Brother-in-law, we're going to my dad now, you can find out where my sister is. We have to sit next to my dad for a while, after all, we junior auctioneers don't know each other during the auction, and it is convenient to go to my dad's side. ā€

So that's the case, Sima Liang also stood up and patrolled, but now there were figures walking around. Even with Sima Liang's sharp eyes, it was difficult to spot Dongfang Yuwei in a dress. But fortunately, after a while, Dongfang Yuwei held Xia Linghan and walked over to this side.

"Husband, Xiaolong, come with me, I know Dad is there."

Dongfang Yuwei beckoned to Sima Liang and the others, and waited until Sima Liang and the two came over. Dongfang Yuwei let go of Xia Linghan and began to hold Sima Liang's hand. Then Dongfang Yuwei led them in a certain direction, and Xia Linghan did not leave but followed.

Walking through some tables and chairs in the hall, Sima Liang saw Dongfang Wenbo and Xia Zhishang. The two fathers-in-law were sitting at a table, and the two mothers-in-law were also sitting on the side.

This made Sima Liang feel a little weak, and he was afraid that he would accidentally reveal his stuffing. However, looking at Dongfang Yuwei and Xia Linghan's expressions, they didn't seem to be worried at all. Sima Liang thought about it and didn't care about it, just solve something, it's not a big deal.

"Dad, Mom, Uncle Xia, Aunt Xu. Hello. ā€

When Sima Liang walked to the table, he looked at the four fathers-in-law and mothers-in-law in front of him and shouted. However, he called Dongfang Wenbo and Bai Fengyi his parents because his relationship with Dongfang Yuwei had been recognized. And Xia Linghan's parents, Xia Zhishang and Xu Hanyu, he can only call uncles and aunts.

"Okay, I didn't expect you to know that my surname is Xu, and my family Linghan told you about it."

"Sit down."

When Xu Hanyu heard Sima Liang call her aunt, she immediately looked at Sima Liang happily and nodded. The others also nodded in response, and now the auction is about to begin. There is no need to be polite, Dongfang Wenbo directly asked a few juniors to sit down. In this way, the Dongfang family and the Xia family sat at the same table, and the number of people was almost enough for one table.

With another crisp and pleasant ringing of bells, Sima Liang found that everyone in the banquet hall was sitting at the table. And basically three families sit at one table, of course, there are two families who make a table. At this time, there was nothing on the table except for some snacks and drinks, and it seemed that the dishes were to be served after the auction.

"Thank you all for coming to support me tonight, I feel very honored here. Next comes the program I prepared for you, Charity Yijuan Auction Antiques ....... Next, I would like to invite the auctioneer of Bogu Auction House to preside over this auction for you. ā€

"Bang bang bang ......."

Just as Zhang Jizhen finished speaking, Sima Liang heard applause around him. He looked around in confusion, and then clapped his hands in embarrassment.

By the time the applause stopped, the auctioneer was already standing on the stage. The table was also changed by the waiters, and a table was set up to serve as a temporary auction table.

At this time, a waiter held a plate covered with a red silk cloth, walked lightly to the table and put the plate away. After she stepped down, the auctioneer unveiled the red silk cloth, and what appeared in front of everyone's eyes was a Buddha statue. In addition to a touch of reflection under the illumination of the light, it is obvious that this is only after repeated friction.

It seems that this is a Buddha statue that Zhang Jizhen likes very much, otherwise there would not be this kind of shining phenomenon. Of course, the first lot always has to choose a high-quality product, so as to be able to arouse everyone's emotions. Sure enough, the next auctioneer's introduction confirmed this, at this time, a bronze Buddha statue from the Tang Dynasty.

"This bronze Buddha statue from the late Tang Dynasty is a favorite collection of Mr. Zhang Jizhen. Today, in order to thank everyone for coming, he deliberately put this antique in the first place. Well, now this bronze Buddha statue is quoted at 500,000 yuan, and the price can be increased at will. ā€

"I'll pay 600,000."

"750,000."

"I'll give 900,000."

When Sima Liang heard the sound of quotations one after another, he was also eager to shout a price. But just as he was about to raise his hand, Dongfang Wenbo, who was sitting next to him, pressed his hand. Looking at Sima Liang's puzzled eyes, Dongfang Wenbo shook his head helplessly and explained.

"Don't go to join in the fun this time, let me tell you, this antique was just taken out by Zhang Jizhen to warm up. Don't look at those people shouting and shouting happily, that's to liven up the atmosphere. When the price is about the same, Zhang Jizhen will buy it. ā€

It turned out that this was the case, and it was obvious that my father-in-law would stop it, because I was afraid that I would pay a lot of money without knowing the sky, so that Zhang Jizhen would not be able to come to the stage. Sima Liang could only pout when he thought of this, but he didn't expect that there were so many doorways in it.

No wonder the Buddha statue is in such good condition, but the price is around hundreds of thousands. It turns out that everyone understands people, and this antique that Zhang Jizhen loves very much is finally kept for him. But there's nothing to say, after all, no matter what you do, there are rules.

"1.5 million."

Just when Sima Liang was still sighing, he finally heard Zhang Jizhen's voice. And when he shouted out the price of 1.5 million, sure enough, the bidding that was still going on just now stopped. And the auctioneer obviously knows what is going on, and he is not as verbose as in the auction house.

"Okay, Mr. Zhang 1.5 million for the first time, Mr. Zhang 1.5 million for the second time, 1.5 million for the third time, deal. Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Jizhen for this bronze Buddha statue of the Tang Dynasty. ā€

"Bang bang bang ......."

Just when the auctioneer knocked down the hammer and announced that Zhang Jizhen had won the antique, the hall once again burst into warm applause. This time, Sima Liang was not stunned, and when he heard the applause, he clapped his palms.

And Zhang Jizhen walked up to the stage on the spot, first putting a check in a box. Then he took a box from another waiter, put the Buddha statue in it and held it in his hand. He bowed to everyone and returned to his seat, and of course the applause inevitably rang out again. (To be continued.) )
