Chapter II: Auctions
Gide Auction is a local auction with a history dating back to the late Qing Dynasty, and although many well-known domestic and international auction houses have settled in the Qingdao market, Gide Auction has relied on a good reputation and complex network passed down from generation to generation, and has steadily occupied the top three positions, and the quality and reputation of its lots have always been quite good.
When I arrived at the auction, it was not yet nine o'clock, and there were a few famous cars in the parking lot, Su Nuo didn't know about cars, but just by looking at the glittering paint and luxurious shapes, he knew that it was worth a lot.
Li Miao and Su Nuo walked side by side, Li Miao is still the same suit and tie for thousands of years, a group of successful people, and Su Nuo just casually wore a black tight skirt, with a red windbreaker outside, with her clean and transparent temperament, followed by Old Man Qiu and Li Mengmeng, Old Man Qiu is wearing a navy blue Tang suit today, classical and elegant, by no means a bargain of dozens of dollars on the roadside, with his peaceful and peaceful temperament, at a glance, it is definitely a model of scholar-type pretence.
Just about to go up the steps, a group of people came from another direction, the front was a **-type human, followed by a man and a woman, the person had not yet arrived, the voice had arrived,
"Ha, I thought who was so tasteless, it turned out to be Li Dashao?"
** type human is a stubble young man, wearing a black jacket, a finger-thick gold necklace hanging from the neck to the navel, wearing two gold earrings on the left ear, hair blown into a small rub, standing on the top of the head, very eye-catching gangster outfit.
Li Miao squinted, snorted coldly, didn't even look at him, went straight inside, and saw that Li Miao didn't dump him, the gangster moved his eyes to Su Nuo and Li Mengmeng, and looked at the two from head to toe with a scrutinizing gaze, and then sneered,
"How? Girl, just came out of the mountains, right? How much does Li Dashao give you a settling-in allowance every month? How about this young master double? Grass, Li Miao, how dare you hit me? ”
With lightning speed, Li Miao hit the opponent's face with a straight punch.
The man who was arrogant just now staggered back a few steps, narrowly being held up by the people behind him and not falling, but there were obvious blood stains seeping out of the fingers covering his face,
"Bloody blood" popped, and Old Man Qiu fell to the ground one by one.
Su Nuo glanced at Li Miao idly, the meaning was obvious, deal with this trouble!
Li Miao shook her hand, half speechless.
"Grass! Li Miao, you wait for Lao Tzu, if Lao Tzu doesn't teach you a good lesson, Lao Tzu will be raised by a bitch."
The man was tightly pulled by a man and a woman in the back, as if he was arrogant and unconvinced, and kicked out one or two kicks from time to time to show his unyieldingness, this acting, Su Nuo could directly give him a score of ninety-nine.
Li Miao hooked his little finger at him disdainfully, and then made an international gesture that had a certain chance of reviving the opponent with full blood and bursting out with two hundred percent combat power, and the arrogance and disdain on his face were clearly visible.
In the upper circles of Qingshi, Li Miao is also a slightly well-known young master, his reputation mainly comes from his instinct to get into trouble since he was a child, as well as his strong personal combat effectiveness, perhaps in the eyes of connoisseurs, this kind of fist embroidered legs is nothing, but for the young master of the noble circle who is also a straw bag, it is more than enough to pick three or four by one person.
The gangster man knows this very well, and in the absence of backup, he really doesn't dare to do anything except for his addiction.
Seeing that this little conflict was about to come to an end, the waiter with a very good eye politely led the group to the box on the second floor, and as for Old Man Qiu, under Li Miao's signal, he was also moved in and thrown on the sofa.
The auction site is a semi-oval venue, the box on the second floor faces the rostrum, half is made of special glass, which is clear and transparent from the inside, but only a pitch black can be seen from the outside, and the other half is a close-up high-definition synchronous live broadcast, allowing guests to see the lot without dead ends.
In the box is the second row of semi-circular sofas, facing the rostrum, the coffee table in front of the sofa is full of various snacks, and the lower row is a variety of drinks, next to coffee, tea, etc., dazzling, thoughtful.
Because Old Man Qiu alone occupied half of the sofa, and the remaining three could only sit on the other side, Su Nuo casually picked up the auction book on the coffee table and looked through it page by page.
This auction is just a regular auction once a month, and the things sent for auction are not very good, and I read a few pages in a row, all of which are all kinds of calligraphy, paintings, porcelain, etc., until the eighth page, Su Nuo's eyes can't help but light up.
It is a 'plain crown lotus ding' lotus petal orchid, in the emerald leaves, three white jade orchids are half exposed and half hidden, just look at the photo, it seems that there is a fragrance coming to the face, elegant and quiet, and contrast with each other.
Su Nuo's gaze was involuntarily attracted to it, and Li Miao saw that she had turned the page for a long time, so she leaned over and glanced at it, and then pouted,
"Do mothers like this kind of flashy stuff too? The price of the orchid market is mostly artificially speculated, just like a diamond, but it is not worth that price at all, the reserve price of this orchid auction is 8 million, which is simply a money-grabbing price! ”
In Nezha's eyes, anything that can't be used to fight is waste.
"It's so pretty, hum, little kid go, you don't understand women's minds!" Li Mengmeng rolled her eyes at him,
Yes, I was discriminated against! Li Miao rubbed her nose and retracted her head, woman, she can't be provoked, can't he still hide?
Su Nuo gently patted Li Mengmeng's hand, then turned back and asked Li Miao,
"How much pocket money do you have?" Is it enough for her to scourge today?
As soon as she heard this question, Li Miao's face turned green, the poor and crazy Lord Nuwa wouldn't have the idea of making him bleed, right?
"Niangniang, my pocket money, probably, maybe, is only enough to shoot that jade." The heart is dripping blood, there is wood!
The next page was the piece of jade, and Su Nuo's gaze fell on it, and he suddenly paused.
It is indeed a good jade pendant, transparent and emerald green, with a nine-feather phoenix carved on it, lifelike, as if it is about to fly away, but Su Nuo can feel that the jade pendant contains full of active vitality, surging and powerful.
"What is this?" Li Mengmeng seemed to sense something, and exclaimed.
Su Nuo's finger swept over the photo, as if it was calling her!
Looking down, the starting price - 800,000!
"Although the water head of this piece of jade is good, it is only good, ordinary ice species, this price is very accurate, even if someone can bid with it, the final transaction price will not exceed 1.2 million! But mother, that pot of flowers is really worthless! ”
Jade, anyway, for immortals like them, hundreds of thousands are far less important than a piece of living jade, but flowers can't be eaten or worn!
