Chapter 302: Bidding

readx; After the auctioneer takes the stage, the auction officially begins. Before the pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info starts, it is always necessary to routinely say some nonsense, such as thanking the company for its support, what and what the proceeds of this auction will be used for, and so on.

Gong Xiping sits in a slightly rear, right-hand position. This position is relatively inconspicuous. He quickly glanced at all the people present today, and found that most of the people who came should be people from the upper class, they were either rich or noble, or some rich people, or officials of a certain department. Of course, there are also some second-generation officials, rich second-generation and the like. It's just that Gong Xiping didn't see Ai Hua or Ai Tingting. This is also reasonable, the chairman and daughter of the chairman of the board of directors of the dignified Ai Group should not come to participate in this kind of auction in person. Even if you want to participate, just send someone over.

When Gong Xiping's eyes swept over the first row, he found a familiar figure. At this moment, the figure was also looking back at him, and the eyes of the two happened to meet.

Ning Sijian? Why did he come too? Gong Xiping couldn't help but be a little surprised.

That familiar figure is none other than Ning Sijian.

Ning Sijian nodded friendly to Gong Xiping, and Gong Xiping also nodded at him, and then, Ning Sijian turned around and continued to look at the stage.

After all the nonsense came to an end, the auction began.

For the auction industry, although Gong Xiping has seen it before, he is not too familiar with it after all. Moreover, for the form of auction, Gong Xiping is not interested at all. To be honest, an auction is nothing more than a group of wealthy people buying this so-called favorite item at a price far exceeding the price of one item. In other words, this is simply a rich man's game, and ordinary people can only watch it, and very few can really participate.

Today, because it is a charity auction, the lots are all private collections. Therefore, the value of the item itself is negligible, and what really determines the value of the item is its origin and some background stories.

Because it is a collection, there is nothing special, it is nothing more than some personal belongings. For example, the global limited edition, mink coats designed by famous designers, limited edition lighters made of pure platinum, antique vases by famous craftsmen, etc. Although these items are worth a lot of money in their own right, the final price is often much higher than their own value.

"Next, I'm going to show you the next lot. This is an antique, Qing Dynasty Yongzheng year porcelain painted flower and bird picture snuff bottle. This is a porcelain snuff bottle made during the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty, which should be one of the earliest porcelain snuff bottles. This kind of snuff bottle is small and beautiful, and the craftsmanship is exquisite. The most amazing thing is that the craftsmen at that time could actually paint such a detailed and wonderful flower and bird pattern on a small snuff bottle, which is really amazing! This Yongzheng porcelain painted flower and bird snuff bottle, starting price, 1 million. Each time you raise a card, add 100,000. Bid! ”

The auctioneer briefly introduced the origin and characteristics of this lot in professional and popular sentences, making people feel that this lot is not only an antique, but also a work of art. After such an introduction by the auctioneer, it seems that the starting price of 1 million is not so high.

Gong Xiping still had little interest in these things, so he always watched the auction from the perspective of a bystander. He was basically a spectator at this auction. The only task is to help Ning Sijian and get the so-called cultural relics.

However, what he didn't expect was that after the auctioneer said that he could bid, he saw Ling Yu actually hold up the number plate. This made Gong Xiping really a little incomprehensible. When did Ling Yu become interested in antique snuff bottles? In his memory, Master Ling Li seemed to have no interest in snuff bottles at all, and he didn't even know what a snuff box was.

However, in an instant, Gong Xiping suddenly understood in his heart. This antique snuff bottle must have been donated by Ling Yu and their editor-in-chief. The purpose of Ling Yu's holding of the plaque is also to take the lead for the successful auction of this lot.

Sure enough, with the beginning of Ling Yu, some people began to bid one after another. Ling Yu, on the other hand, died down and quietly watched others compete for bids.

After several rounds of bidding, after someone shouted a high price of 1.8 million, others stopped holding up their cards, but quietly watched the auctioneer.

After waiting quietly for 10 seconds, the auctioneer said aloud: "1.8 million, is there anything higher than 1.8 million?" Are there any more bids to make? 1,800,000 for the first time, 1,800,000 for the second time! ”

Just when the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, Shen Daixian, who was sitting next to Ling Yu, suddenly raised the sign.

"2 million!" Shen Dai said calmly.

There was a burst of exclamations from the audience. And in an instant, she became the focus of attention of the audience. Judging by the previous situation, 1.8 million should already be the limit, and Shen Daixian only needs to add 1.9 million, and winning this lot is basically nine out of ten. However, her plus is 200,000, which not only shows her determination to win this lot, but also shows her momentum.

Auctions are different from buying things in a normal way, and sometimes, psychological factors are also very important.

Almost all the eyes of the audience were focused on Shen Daixian. And when everyone found out that the person who made such a bold bid was actually an extremely young and beautiful girl, it immediately attracted bursts of whispering. For a while, there was a lot of stirring in the entire auction scene.

Regarding Shen Daixian's bid, Gongxi Plain was also a little surprised. But it soon understood. If you can't figure it out, Shen Daixian's father is a snuff bottle collector, and he is very fond of all kinds of rare snuff bottles. At the same time, it can also make a contribution to charity, which is also a double thing.

It's just that Gong Xiping didn't expect that Shen Daixian's shot was 2 million, and she didn't even blink her eyes, which was really surprising. The rich second generation is the rich second generation, and they don't know how distressed they are when they spend money.

After a moment of twitching, the auctioneer said in a high voice: "2 million, this lady will pay 2 million." Is there anything higher than 2 million? 2,000,000 for the first time, 2,000,000 for the second time. ”

Just when everyone thought that Shen Daixian was already nine out of ten this time, suddenly on the other side, a number plate was held high.

"2.2 million."

As soon as the voice came out, the audience let out an exclamation again!

Gong Xiping frowned slightly, followed the prestige, and found that it was Qiu Pengliang, who he met once in the garden yesterday. And sitting next to him was Yang Hui, who was pestering Ling Yu just now! Of course, for Qiu Pengliang, Gong Xiping only knew that he had met it yesterday, and it was not met on a pleasant occasion. As for his name, there is no way to know.

The two looked at Shen Daixian and Ling Yu beside her, and there was actually a sinister smile on their faces. Gong Xiping understood at a glance that these two people were deliberate, and they saw that Shen Daixian was bound to get this snuff bottle, so they deliberately raised the price.

As for why the two did this, the reason is simple. Qiu Pengliang and Yang Hui are obviously in a group, he and Yin Guankang should also be in a group, and the two think that Shen Daixian and Ling Yu are also in a group, not to mention that Yang Hui rejected him before because Ling Yu did not give face, just talking about the conflict in the garden yesterday, it is normal for the two of them to make some ghosts now.

Shen Daixian almost broke out on the spot, she glared at Qiu Pengliang and Yang Hui angrily, and almost jumped up and scolded the street. Gong Xiping glanced at Shen Daixian's side and found that Ling Yu gently pressed his hand on the back of Shen Daixian's hand. Because of Ling Yu, Shen Daixian didn't jump up immediately.

"The gentleman bid 2.2 million. 2.2 million is already a very high price! Is there a higher bid than 2.2 million? ”

Shen Daixian pressed her anger and raised the number plate in her hand.

"Oh? This lady bid 2.3 million! 2.3 million, is there a higher price than 2.3 million? ”

Qiu Pengliang sneered and raised the sign in his hand again.

"2.4 million, this gentleman pays 2.4 million!"

Shen Daixian immediately raised the number plate again.

"2.5 million, this young lady is out to 2.5 million!"

"2.7 million." Qiu Pengliang sneered again and raised the price.

Shen Daixian gritted her teeth hatefully, she glared at Qiu Pengliang angrily, and she was about to explode. At this moment, Ling Yu gently patted the back of her hand, shook her head at her, and then set his eyes on Gong Xiping. Shen Daixian was stunned when she saw this, and also followed Ling Yu's gaze and looked at Gong Xiping.

Gong Xiping saw that both of them looked towards him, so he sighed lightly and slowly raised the number plate in his hand.

"3 million."

The audience was shocked! In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on Gong Xiping's body.

Originally, everyone thought that this would be a tug-of-war between Shen Daixian and Qiu Pengliang. But no one expected that a Cheng Biting Gold suddenly came out halfway, and the bidding price was suddenly raised to 3 million. A small snuffbox actually triggered a triangular war, which really made no one present expect it.

Yang Hui's eyes fell on Gong Xiping's body, and Qiu Pengliang's eyes also fell on Gong Xiping's body. Both of them had a scorn and disdain on their faces at the same time.

"3.2 million." Qiu Pengliang said with a sneer.

"3.5 million." Gongxi said flatly.

The audience was tickling again! What was originally a sporadic whisper suddenly became dense. Almost everyone was watching these two people, and the exchange of words between them was one after another. The emotions of everyone in the audience were driven by this round of accidents, and the atmosphere at the auction site was inexplicably hot.
