Chapter 24: At the Auction

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the auction officially began, and as the auctioneer, I made a brief appearance and sat in the grandstand on the second floor with all the auction consignors. The auction process is carried out according to the convention, the auctioneer first counts the bidder's introduction of the auction object, and then announces the auction rules and precautions, and then the auctioneer quotes the starting price and the bidder responds to the bid. I lightly swept the bidders sitting on the first floor of the sales venue, except for some professional collectors, in this city more status, power and money people are all present, the upper social circle is really not too big, after all, rich people are a minority, and their social activities also have an inherent pattern, a day to meet a few familiar faces is not a big coincidence, and one of the more raw should be entrusted by the boss to bid for the staff secretary class. I know very well what the quality of the auction items that my company is entrusted with are attracted to so many people. Then the blockbuster lots should all be the ones that Gu Feng brought over tonight, and he can be regarded as very sincere and bloody this time.

"Mr. Gu." Satisfied with his sincerity, I beckoned to him, of course, I didn't take the initiative to talk to him to compliment him on anything.

"Mr. Gong, I'm here with me, you command." Gu Feng immediately stood up from the sofa stool diagonally behind me, put one hand on his lower abdomen, and slightly raised his shoulder with the other hand to bow down to greet me.

"You sit."

"No, no, I'll just stand......" I motioned for him to sit next to him, and he stared at the stool hesitantly, thinking I was joking, and didn't dare to sit down for a while.

"Don't be nervous, just talk to you." The corners of my mouth hooked up a wicked smile, this person is really easy to bully. But is he really so afraid of me? Not necessarily.

Seeing that he refused to sit down for a long time, I gave Jia Yue a look, she walked over from my right hand and pressed one hand on his shoulder, slowly pressed him to the seat, and said with a smile: "Mr. Gu, don't be so outside, today's auction can be so successful depends on the collection you brought, you are the absolute protagonist among the consignors today!" ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, Miss Jiayue is too polite......" Gu Feng, who was so praised by Jiayue, had no choice but to sit down obediently, and if he didn't get down the steps, he really didn't know how to lift.

"Huh...... Hehe......" Kazuki laughed half-truthfully, gave me a blank look, and returned to my right hand to stand. She's not as thick-skinned as Spotted Deer, but she also knows how to pretend to be sophisticated, although she doesn't like it.

"Does Mr. Gu usually like to watch entertainment news?" I went straight to the point, I just read the magazine in the suite, and the anger in my heart has not subsided, the villain described in it is me, and the righteous gentleman is Gu Feng who is sitting next to me now. If I don't look for him, I feel sorry for the villain in the magazine.

"No, not much." Gu Feng gently pushed his gold-rimmed glasses and then buried his head, now the gossip all over the street is me, him and Yu Qingyan, he has already guessed what I want to say, but just burying his head can't hide from my indifferent eyes.

"Didn't you see it? Then I'll show you a copy of today's entertainment magazine in a moment. "I crossed my feet and folded my hands in front of my chest, looking aggressive.

"All that gossip is baseless and not credible...... The media just likes hype, lest the world be chaotic......" Gu Feng expressed his position very tactfully, I understood but was not satisfied with this answer.

"As the saying goes, there is no wind and no waves, and the wind may not be without a cause. Didn't Mr. Gu feel like them, that I was a bad guy who forced you to a dead end? ”

Gu Feng's whole body tensed, and he was frightened as soon as my words came out, maybe it was because I said it.

"Mr. Gong, I definitely didn't think about it that way."

"Why be hypocritical, if you think about it, you can admit it generously, and I won't do anything to you." No one is a saint, I cut off the back road of the ancient style, and withdrew a few of their most profitable cooperation projects, he doesn't hate me and he may not believe it himself if he says it.

"I ...... It's my company's ability to resist risks is too poor......"

"Hold on." The two words I said mean a lot, and how to understand them is completely up to Gu Feng.

"Huh?" He chose to play dumb.

"Your company can still come up with 10 million until now, Mr. Gu really has some skills."

"Gu Feng has no working capital except for this 10 million." Gu Feng said helplessly, after most of the shares were bought by me, I naturally knew the operation of his company.

"People outside say that I am so unbearable, do you think it is better for me to continue to be a bad person or let you go?" Acquiescing to the entrustment of his auction items to my company is already a step for me to relax, but with Yu Qingyan's misunderstanding, I can't continue to put Gu Feng to death.

"Mr. Gong......" Gu Feng heard a glimmer of hope from my words, and his eyes lit up a little.

"It's time for tonight's finale, yours." The conversation came to an abrupt halt, and I pointed to the stage downstairs.

"Did you agree to continue working with Gu Feng?"

"Let's see what you can do tonight." I don't want to show too much so that he won't be proud for a while, if it weren't for my prejudice and selfishness before, I wouldn't target him, in fact, QM and Gufeng have always benefited from their cooperation.

After that, I didn't talk to him again, Gu Feng brought a series of calligraphy and painting collections in just two hours to auction a high price of 500 million, and Zhang Daqian's "Love Trace Lake" and Qi Baishi's "Landscape Book" two collections once caused a fierce competition among bidders, a single auction from 50 million, after more than an hour of bidding by buyers, "Love Trace Lake" bid actually reached more than 100 million, and "Landscape Book" was auctioned close to 200 million.

"Mr. Gu deserves to be a giant in the antique world." Even I couldn't help but exclaim, tonight's auction was made wonderful because of these rare and rare collections he brought.

"Mr. Gong praised it falsely."

"Okay, I have the right to use the commission of today's auction to buy back the equity of the ancient style, and tomorrow I will transfer the equity in my hand to you, and you continue to do your antiques, but don't talk about real estate cooperation in the future." I was so satisfied with the results of the whole auction that I was relieved of him. In this way, he should understand that I have relaxed my authority, he continues to be the leader of the antique world, and I did not give him a chance to get a piece of the real estate project.

"Thank you, Mr. Gong, thank you, Mr. Gong!" Giving his company a glimmer of hope of survival, he asked for nothing else. Every successful businessman will be patient, and it is wise to retreat to the next best thing, and one can think in the long run.

"Jiayue, arrange for Mr. Gu to come over tomorrow to re-sign the contract." I left my seat, for I had seen a very well-dressed person among the bidders long before I went upstairs, and the auction was over, so now I should go down and meet her for a while.

Nala stood on the stage with the buyers who won the auction to display their trophies and take a few group photos, tonight she auctioned the recently popular Qing Dynasty Zheng Banqiao's "Ink and Bamboo Long Scroll", which started at 2 million and finally fell to 13.8 million yuan. It is normal for Manchus to be interested in Qing Dynasty collections, but Nala doesn't look like someone who can play calligraphy and painting collections, she should be interested in luxury goods such as jewelry.

"I didn't think you were interested in calligraphy and painting." She was led by the staff to the backstage to sign the contract and issue the certificate, and I followed all the way.

"I'm not interested, the old man in the family likes Zheng Xie more, thinking that his old man will have a big birthday in a few days, and he just shoots it back to make him happy." Nala clasped her hands to her chest and looked directly at me with her eyes looking like she didn't want to see me.

"Humility, uprightness, bamboo painting is a good meaning." I kept up a good quality, after all, now I am not the dog and horse she knows, and she is not the Nala I know, she is the eldest sister in the entertainment industry who stabbed me in the back.

"Can more than 10 million be bad? You vampires! Nala didn't look like a person who was distressed about money, but she still gave me a blank look.

"We only suck gold, not blood." I couldn't help but scoff, I didn't question her about the good things she did, but she blamed me first. It's hard to say if she's too forgetful or too thick-skinned.

"The day after tomorrow, my old man will hold a birthday banquet, and the palace will always want to appreciate his face." Nala said very casually, looked down and turned over the purse and took out a cigarette to prepare to light, I reached out and took out her cigarette and made a forbidden gesture, the collection of calligraphy and painting is the most taboo fire, even cigarette butts and stars.

"You've let the people below write me as a heinous pervert, do I dare to go out and show my face?" I put my hands back in my trouser pockets and smiled helplessly, hiding a knife in my smile.

"That's no way, what I want in the entertainment industry is distribution, clicks and box office, what is the most eye-catching and sensational, of course I will report it." Nala is as professional as she is, but it seems to me that her so-called entertainment is just turning other people's lives into objects of ridicule.

"Be careful that entertaining others will not succeed, it will become self-entertainment." My eyes narrowed into slits, and my tone was no longer very kind.

"It seems that Mr. Gong has not really adapted to this circle, and he is destined to attract the attention of others at the top of society, and he will be constantly talked about by others. The more attention people pay to you, the more successful you are. Nala made a gesture that she was going to teach me a lesson.

"It's nothing to talk about, I'm afraid that someone will maliciously slander people before and after." I stared straight at her, and the momentum was already visible, but she didn't seem to be affected in the slightest.

"What if you slander or not? It doesn't matter if it's true or not, the public is only interested in your news, what they approve of is what it is, entertainment is always the final say of the majority, and what the majority agrees with is called the truth. ”

"How do I remember saying that the truth is often in the hands of a few?"

"I still have something to do, so I won't tell you." Stretching her neck, her tone was a little anxious, and I glanced out and it turned out that someone was beckoning her over, "Hey, you have to come to the old man's birthday, I'm still waiting for your big congratulatory gift from the palace president." She walked a few meters away and didn't forget to turn around and remind me that I could confirm that Nala was really cheeky as soon as she said that.

"So you're thinking about my gift?" I asked deliberately.

"Not really. Gong is the owner of a QM consortium, and the things sent out are certainly worth everyone's expectations. "This woman with a lack of brains will really find trouble for herself.

"Okay, I will come, as for the gifts...... At that time, I will definitely not let the old man down! I dragged out my tone, and the word disappointment was particularly heavy. She made Gong Yeqi lose face in public, and I let her know what it means to be ugly in public.
