Chapter 15: The Auction
The next day, Liu Zihao came to the hotel early in the morning. After having breakfast with Lin Hao, he walked out of the hotel with Lin Hao.
When Liu Zihao and Lin Hao came to the "Convention and Exhibition Center", the place where the auction was held, there were already many people at the door, because this auction was the largest in the history of the port city, so the security guards on the scene were very strict with the visitors. But when Liu Zihao and Lin Hao walked in, it was not as difficult as they imagined, they just showed the relevant documents brought by Liu Zihao and went in.
The scale of this auction is huge, so the auction involves a wide range of things, from ancient paintings and calligraphy, porcelain antiques, to modern asset auctions, and so on.
When Liu Zihao and Lin Hao walked in, there were already many people sitting in the venue, and the staff of the auction house had already begun to take things to the stage.
Lin Hao stood at the door and saw that the front row of the venue was already full of people, he frowned slightly, and he didn't bother to choose, so he pulled Liu Zihao to the last row and sat down.
As soon as he sat down, Liu Zihao took out the information of this auction and introduced it to Lin Hao, and Lin Hao sat there and listened quietly. When Liu Zihao introduced the jade pendant, he knew that this jade pendant was an auction item taken out by Qin Xiaotian, a wealthy man in Hong Kong City, which made Lin Hao can't help but have a trace of interest in this Qin Xiaotian.
After a while, the auction began, maybe the organizer was to improve the atmosphere of the auction at the beginning stage, so the staff at this time sent to the stage of the things that the discerning people looked precious, it was an antique vase of the Tang Dynasty, this vase was dignified and simple, and the glaze of the body was moist and thick, which was enough to be called a treasure, but the starting price of this treasure was not high, only two million.
Sure enough, the starting price of this antique vase was so low that it immediately aroused people's interest, and from the very beginning, people kept holding up signs, and in the end, this antique vase was also sold for 10 million.
Lin Hao has been sitting quietly in the back row, watching the auction items on the stage being auctioned off one by one, he has no interest in things other than jade pendants, of course, the price of these items is also unaffordable for him now.
Finally, when a staff member walked to the front of the stage with a covered disc in his hand, Lin Hao's eyes lit up, because as soon as this staff member came on stage, Lin Hao had a familiar feeling about the things in the disc in his hand.
At this time, the auctioneer standing in front of the stage had already opened his mouth to introduce the contents of the disc.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the following item was donated by Mr. Qin Xiaotian personally, and all the proceeds from the auction of this item will be donated to the Charity Association, so let us thank Mr. Qin Xiaotian for his kindness. After speaking, the auctioneer was the first to applaud.
When everyone's applause stopped, the auctioneer lifted the covered disc and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is a double-body fish-patterned jade pendant from the Tang Dynasty, with a starting price of 1.5 million." The auctioneer paused for a moment when he said this, brewed the atmosphere of the scene for a while, and then began to introduce this jade pendant with a lot of words.
Lin Hao sat below, looking at this double-body fish-patterned jade pendant, and couldn't help but get excited. Thinking of Master's kind face and the various past events of his previous life, his eyes unconsciously turned red.
Soon, as the auctioneer finished explaining this jade pendant, everyone began to bid, and Lin Hao's mood calmed down. But when he saw that the jade pendant was soon photographed for five million, his brows furrowed slightly.
At this time, Liu Zihao, who was sitting next to Lin Hao, suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, are you interested in this jade pendant?"
Lin Hao glanced at Liu Zihao and nodded gently.
Liu Zihao saw Lin Hao nodding, so he took out a check from his briefcase with a smile and handed it to Lin Hao, and then said: "Mr. Lin, Zhao Dong knows that you must be interested in that item when you come here, so he asked me to prepare this blank check for you, hoping to help you."
Lin Hao took the check after a while, and added a lot of good feelings to Zhao Wenzhong in his heart, it seems that Zhao Wenzhong has put a lot of effort into himself, and this time Lin Hao owes him another favor.
When the jade pendant was auctioned for six million, there were not many bidders. And the auctioneer is ready to drop the hammer at this time.
At this time, Lin Hao said lightly: "Eight million." ”
The auctioneer's eyes immediately lit up, and he said excitedly: "This gentleman bid eight million, is there more than eight million, eight million is ...... for the first time." ”
In the end, Lin Hao took a picture of this double-body fish-patterned jade pendant for eight million, which made him feel relieved.
After the auction, Liu Zihao helped Lin Hao go through the delivery procedures, and after completing the procedures, the double-body fish-patterned jade pendant was also held in Lin Hao's hands.
When Lin Hao and Liu Zihao walked out, a manager of the auction house stopped them, and the manager said with a smile on his face: "Mr. Lin, I don't know if you are free now?" Mr. Qin Xiaotian, the former owner of the catamaran fish pattern jade pendant, would like to meet you to thank you for your contribution to this charity. ”
Lin Hao was also very interested in this Qin Xiaotian, and he wanted to know very much how this jade pendant fell into Qin Xiaotian's hands. So he nodded and agreed.
The manager of the auction house led Lin Hao and Liu Zihao to an office on the seventh floor, and after knocking on the door, he walked in with Lin Hao and Liu Zihao.
After entering, I saw a middle-aged man with a tall and thin figure and a somewhat pale face, sitting on the sofa in the office, and when the manager of the auction house saw the middle-aged man, he immediately came to the middle-aged man, bent down, and said respectfully: "Mr. Qin, Mr. Lin, who bought the double-body fish-patterned jade pendant this time, has already come." ”
Qin Xiaotian nodded expressionlessly, stood up and looked at Lin Hao and Liu Zihao.
Lin Hao's brows furrowed as soon as he saw Qin Xiaotian in the office, and at this time, when he saw Qin Xiaotian looking at him, he suddenly said, "Are you the eighth vein, or the ninth vein?" ”。
Qin Xiaotian's originally expressionless face, after hearing Lin Hao's words, immediately changed his expression, he immediately came to Lin Hao's side, and said, "Who are you?" How can you tell that I am the Eight Pulses? ”
Lin Hao smiled faintly, and did not answer Qin Xiaotian's words, but glanced at the manager of the auction house.
Qin Xiaotian frowned, and said to the auction house manager: "Mr. Manager, please take Mr. Lin's friend out for a cup of coffee, I have some personal matters to discuss with Mr. Lin." ”
The manager of the auction house immediately nodded in agreement, turned around and asked Liu Zihao to go out with him, and Liu Zihao saw that Lin Hao did not speak, so he walked out with the manager of the auction house.
