Chapter 372: Heart of the Ocean

"People, this life is only a few decades, and if you are lucky, you can live past 100 years."

Li Jianhua sighed. "If you go through the world, you will either leave something good or a little bad - they will leave a bad reputation, and that is their own choice, and no one can change it."

When they came, there were not many people in the hall, and after the two talked for a while, there were gradually more people, and Li Jianhua naturally changed the topic.

"Is there anything you'd like to buy?"

"Nope." Yan Murong shook his head and said. "I've been short of money lately, and I don't have any extra money to buy these things."

Li Jianhua smiled and shifted his gaze to the booth.

Soon, after the hall was almost full, two security guards in black suits with air headsets in their ears closed the door, and a middle-aged man who looked like a manager walked up to the booth.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have a meeting." The man smiled and greeted the people sitting below, and nodded frequently at some people from time to time, as if they were very familiar.

Yan Murong turned his head to take a look, there were more than 200 seats in the hall, almost full, but this did not rule out that someone would bring their families to join in the fun. If so many people really want to auction items, it is estimated that there will not be enough items to be auctioned.

"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen." The middle-aged man smiled and bowed. "Every time I come, I see a lot of new faces, so let me introduce myself first - my name is Han Shilong, and I am the auctioneer of this auction."

After speaking, Han Shilong nodded at a woman wearing a cheongsam standing aside. The woman flipped a switch at hand, and the projection screen on the side of the booth lit up.

"I've kept everyone waiting." Han Shilong said. "Now, let's start tonight's auction. There is a sign with a number written under each VIP's seat, so please hold up the sign when you increase the price - below, please look at the big screen. ”

Everyone's eyes followed Han Shilong's fingers to the projection screen, only to see a white porcelain plate appear on it, and a few words were written under the porcelain plate - Yuan blue and white glaze red plate.

"The first lot, a small red plate in the glaze of Yuan blue and white." Han Shilong said. "The starting price is one million, and each increase must not be less than 100,000, starting now."

"Why is it so cheap? Aren't they all genuine? Yan Murong asked in surprise.

Judging from the pictures, this glaze red plate is very well preserved, and there is not even a single flaw on it. According to the current price of Yuan Qinghua, one million is too little.

"Giggles, silly boy, that's a dollar unit." Yan Minghua smiled and began to illiteracy for Yan Murong.

"Dollars?" Yan Murong calculated, such a price is equivalent to nearly seven million Huaxia coins, which is also in line with the price of this plate.

"One and a half million."

As soon as Han Shilong's words fell, someone began to raise the price.

"Mr. Seventy-Three bid 1.5 million, has there been any price increase?" Han Shilong raised the small gavel in his hand and asked.

"One million eight million."

"One million eight thousand, Mr. Nineteen bid one hundred and eighty thousand." Han Shilong shouted professionally.

Yan Murong didn't plan to buy anything, but when he was bored, he began to look around. After looking at it for a while, he looked at Li Jianhua and asked strangely. "Why don't these people know each other? Nor do I chat. ”

"We all know." Li Jianhua explained with a smile. "It's just that now they have to pretend they don't know each other - that's the rule here."

"What a strange rule." Yan Murong muttered, and didn't ask why there was such a rule.

As he spoke, this small glaze red plate had been raised to a price of 2.6 million. Hearing this number, Yan Murong sighed, there are really many rich people, and they even bought a plate at more than twice their price.

"Two million for the second time, two million for the third time." Han Shilong raised the gavel high and looked at everyone to ask. "Is there any more price increase?"

I waited for a long time with the gavel, but no one raised the price again, and the hammer fell with a "snap".

"Congratulations to Mr. Fifty-One." Han Shilong said with a smile.

"These people are really sick in the brain." Yan Murong shook his head and said.

"Hehe, you're not used to it, are you?" Li Jianhua said with a smile.

"It's okay, it's not that I'm not used to it." Yan Murong said. "I just think these people are a little stupid - let's just say that they have a lot of money, and they don't spend it like this, and they buy it for three times the price of the item itself, and I don't believe it if they don't have water in their brains."

"It's just a hobby." Li Jianhua said. "Some people like calligraphy and painting, some people like ceramics, some people like those strange things - that's what collecting is, they have money, they use the money to buy what they like, and it doesn't matter if the price is higher."

"And what do you like?" Yan Murong asked.

"I like the oddities."

"Looks like you've got water in your head before."

"Hehe, sort of." Li Jianhua laughed. Then he whispered to Yan Murong. "Ms. Yan Minghua is the chairman of Yanjing Minghua Group?"

"Yes." Yan Murong glanced at Li Jianhua and asked strangely. "Do you know my sister-in-law?"

"It's the first time I've seen me." Li Jianhua said. "Before, by phone, there was an intention to cooperate."

"Cooperation?" Yan Murong raised her eyebrows and asked. "You want to work with my sister-in-law?"

"You don't know?"

"I don't know." Yan Murong shook his head.

"Yes, we have a business to work with."

As he spoke, Li Jianhua was silent for a moment before whispering. "Hong Kong is not going to be peaceful lately."

"What do you mean?" Yan Murong's heart suddenly flashed with inspiration, as if he had noticed something, but he was still a little unsure.

"Change of power." Li Jianhua said in a low voice. "Actually, to put it bluntly, they all came to Hong Kong to invest and do business, just like we also went to the mainland to do business -- but the industries and money involved here are too big, and some people make money and some people lose -- if they don't get it right, there will be some smaller families shipwreck."

And so it was. Yan Murong felt a pang in her heart, and thought, no wonder Su Qingwu and her sister-in-law have come to Hong Kong one after another, and their feelings are about to make a big move - it's just that the family members of the three major Chinese consortia all came to Hong Kong, a small place, what do they want to do?

"Ladies and gentlemen, please look at the big screen." After the auction of two pieces of porcelain from the Tang Dynasty, Han Shilong pointed to a necklace that appeared on the screen and said. "This necklace, I think everyone is familiar with it."

As soon as Han Shilong's words fell, the name of the necklace appeared under the necklace, and everyone couldn't help but let out an exclamation when they saw the name of the necklace.

On the screen, under the photo of the necklace are written four large golden characters - Heart of the Ocean!
