Fang Yang looked Finn up and down, his brows furrowed slightly.

Finn seemed to be even more nervous, and he hurriedly said:

"Fang, you...... It can't be angry, right? ”

Fang Yang said with a straight face:

"Yes Finn, I'm so angry!"

"Fang, please don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to hide it from you!" Finn hurriedly said, "Because for security reasons, the family requires me not to reveal my identity while working at Hans Company, otherwise I will be asked to return to the family immediately......"

Fang Yang says:

"Finn, we're friends, aren't we?"

"Of course!" Finn nodded without thinking.

"I make friends to see if this person has the right temper, not to look at the other person's family background!" Fang Yang said lightly, "So, whether your family is a prince and a nobleman or a down-and-out beggar has nothing to do with me. You think I'm upset about hiding the identity of a Finn heir, and that's the main reason why I'm angry! ”

Fang Yang said it righteously, in fact, he already knew his identity when he first met Fian.

Because Finn did not have a long time in Hans, he returned to the family in a year or two and took over part of the family business, and his first training position was the current position of Yankel as the president of Finn International Group in China.

Therefore, Fang Yang was no stranger to this Finn who often appeared in public in his previous life.

But Finn was stunned by Fang Yang's bluffing, and he felt a burst of emotion in his heart and a sense of shame at the same time.

Fang Yang just regarded him as a good friend, and he actually lived the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, which was really undeserved.

Fang Yang couldn't help but laugh when he saw Finn's ashamed appearance. Of course, he didn't show it on his face, but just said:

"Finn, we have an old saying in China, called the friendship of a gentleman is as light as water. Friends are important in making friends, if you always have a utilitarian heart, you can't make friends! ”

Although Fang Yang said it righteously, he was also ashamed in his heart, and he asked himself, if he hadn't known about Finn's prominent identity in advance, then even if he could become good friends with Finn, it was estimated that he would not necessarily invite him to his home for the Spring Festival.

After all, man is still a real animal.

Of course, Fang Yang didn't have too much psychological burden, after all, he didn't have the intention of using Finn.

The two of them are indeed quite temperamental.

"Yes, Fang, you're so right!" Finn said, "It's that I'm thinking too complicated, and I'm really sorry." ”

Fang Yang smiled and waved his hand and said:

"Don't talk about that. By the way, Finn, did you come to this auction for something good? ”

Fang Yangxin said, this guy shouldn't also take a fancy to this guqin, right? The guqin is too important to me, and it is absolutely impossible to want it.

Speaking of the auction, Finn immediately came to his senses, and he said excitedly:

"Fang, speaking of which, I would like to thank your friend Liu Wu......

Fang Yang suddenly felt a burst of surprise, how could this matter still have something to do with catkins.

Finn went on to explain:

"We went to the temple fair that day, didn't that female companion of Kohler show off in front of the catkins that there was a good guqin at this auction, and Kohler was going to auction it for her?"

"Wait!" Fang Yang hurriedly interrupted Finn's words and asked a little nervously, "Finn, you shouldn't have taken a fancy to that guqin, right?" ”

"Of course not!" Finn said with a smile, "Although I admire Chinese culture a lot, I don't know anything about ancient Chinese musical instruments, and collecting guqin doesn't make any sense to me." ”

Fang Yang relieved his mind slightly and motioned for Finn to continue.

Finn opened the album to find the antique wine glass he had his eye on, and then showed it to Fang Yang.

He said:

"Fang, do you remember when Kohler invited me to his charity ball and said that he would auction off his treasured antique wine glasses to raise money? That wine glass was Kohler's lifeblood, and he was going to give it away as a gift for the birthday of the old matriarch of the Welf family not long after, and he suddenly took the wine glass out for auction so generously, I kept an eye on it, and his female companion mentioned this auction again, so I looked it up on the Internet, and I found this wine glass! ”

Finn pointed to his glass and continued:

"Fang, it turns out that Kohler has found a better birthday gift, this wine glass is much better than the one he collected...... We have a long history of brewing beer in Germany, and this glass is typical of the mid-18th century......"

Finn's eyebrows fluttered as he introduced the antique wine glass to Fang Yang.

He was originally an avid collector of antique wine glasses, and his knowledge in this area was quite rich, and it was really unexpected to encounter this kind of treasure at the auction in Huaxia this time, so he was also quite excited.

Fang Yang listened to Finn's introduction with a smile, glanced at the starting price marked on it, and couldn't help but gasp in his heart.

Eight million Chinese coins!

And that's just the starting price.

The starting price of that guqin is already shocking, but compared to this wine glass, it is still a small thing.

However, Fang Yang was also happy in his heart. Kohler wants to compete for this wine glass, so he must not dare to bid too high in the auction of the guqin, lest the wine glass be the finale of the day due to insufficient funds later, and the auction will be held last.

The two chatted in a low voice for a while, and Liang Jian, who was in a suit and leather shoes, walked onto the stage with a smile on his face.

The auction has officially begun!

Liang Jian took the microphone and said:

"Distinguished guests, Happy New Year! On behalf of Jiade Auction House, I would like to extend my warmest welcome to all of you! Thank you for participating in the special auction of the Spring Festival of Jiade Auction House. The auction will focus on calligraphy, painting and art, but we have also prepared some other miscellaneous lots for your guests, and even antiques from abroad.

As you can see, the finale of this auction is an antique wine glass from Germany! Here, I also wish every guest here can take pictures of their favorite collections, and come back with great interest!

Now, let's use the warmest applause to Mr. Jameson, the chief auctioneer of Jiade Auction House! ”

To everyone's applause, a Westerner in a tuxedo walked onto the stage with a confident smile on his face. He is the chief auctioneer of Gatdo Auction House, Jameson, an Englishman who has lived on Hong Kong Island for a long time, can also speak fluent Chinese, and is also well-known in auction circles, and many sky-high lots are auctioned out by his hands.

Among them, there are many super auctions at the level of 100 million yuan.

Jameson smiled and walked to the auction table, cleared his throat and said:

"Welcome to this auction. It should be informed that due to the tight preparation time, there was no preview of this auction, so the starting price of more than 500,000 Chinese coins of the lot, interested friends can ask for a close tasting, but do not touch the lot. Of course, all the lots in this lot will be issued with expert opinions, so you can bid with confidence!

Okay, let's get to know the first lot of the night! Miss Mannerses...... please."

Two ceremonial ladies wearing red cheongsams walked up to the stage holding a long scroll, and the green jade hands gently untied the ribbon and carefully unfolded the scroll, a typical picture of a plum blossom lady.

Jameson explains:

"This is a picture of a plum blossom lady in the Qing Dynasty, 42 wide. 6 cm, 96 cm high, the whole work line drawing is strong and square, the delicate and slender table of the lady is vividly and vividly, and the plum blossom is dyed by the boneless method, which reflects the elegant beauty of the lady in a kind of fog, which is a rare masterpiece. Friends who like Ren Bonian's works should not miss it! The starting price of this plum blossom lady picture is 30,000 Huaxia coins, and the price increase is not less than 1,000 Huaxia coins each time. ”

I have to say that Jameson is indeed a Huaxia Tong, and he is indeed a very good auctioneer.

A picture of a lady who can only be said to be decent, can also be praised by him, which makes people feel that this can be compared to Zhou's "Fan Lady Picture".

What's even more rare is that he is not as impassioned as some auctioneers, in fact, his tone is still relatively peaceful, but he can successfully incite everyone to buy the **.

"Thirty-one thousand dollars!" Soon someone started making tentative bids.

"Thirty-five thousand dollars!"

"Thirty-six ......"

"Thirty-eight ......"

"I'll give 40,000 Huaxia coins!"

As soon as someone made a bid, some collectors who came to the picture also bid, and the price of the lady was quickly raised to 40,000 yuan.

During the whole process, Jameson just stood on the stage smiling and didn't make any sound. When the 40,000 Huaxia coins were out, the momentum of the price increase paused, and for a few seconds no one made a bid, and then Jameson spoke:

"This friend No. 76 has bid 40,000 yuan, is there any friend who has made a higher bid? You must know that in last autumn's auction, Ren Bonian's works reached a price of 200,000 Chinese coins! Although the size of this "Plum Blossom Lady" is slightly smaller, it still has a lot of room for appreciation......"

"Forty-one thousand dollars!" As soon as Jameson's words fell, someone couldn't help but continue to bid.

"Friend No. 89 bid 40,000, is there anything higher? It's hard to buy money and it's good to have a heart! I don't know when I will come across my favorite lot after missing this time! Jameson continued to agitate.

"Forty-five thousand dollars!" The number 76 in front bids again.

In the end, at Jameson's timely instigation, a picture of a plum blossom lady with a not-so-remarkable appearance was sold for 48,000, and the No. 76 guest got his wish.

In fact, the starting price of 30,000 yuan was set at a relatively high price, and if it was replaced by other auctioneers, there was a possibility that the auction would fail, but under the encouragement of the clever Jameson, Gedor Auction House made a good start.

"You can really fool ......," Fang Yang pouted and said.

Master Bai Yan smiled and turned his head to Fang Yang and said:

"It seems that if you want to take down that guqin, you have to be prepared for heavy bleeding!"

Fang Yang nodded sympathetically, an excellent auctioneer can indeed raise the price of the lot a lot, which is why the commissions of big auction houses are so expensive, and everyone still likes to choose them.

Because most of the good auctioneers are caught by the big auction houses!

The previous lots were just ordinary goods, and the auction prices were not amazing, and Fang Yang was about to fall asleep when he saw it.

Finally, after six consecutive auctions of calligraphy and paintings, Jameson's tone began to become a little excited:

"The next lot is a guqin ......"
