Chapter 684: Wool Auction (Part II)
Seeing that Chu Chen actually spent 4.8 million yuan to buy that piece of wool, Chu Yulan and they were all very worried.
"Brother Chen, will this price be too high?" Liu Sizhe asked with a frown.
Chu Chen smiled slightly, gave everyone a reassuring look, and said: "I am still very optimistic about this piece of wool, although four million and eight hundred thousand is indeed expensive, but I don't think it will be a loss." ”
Everyone believed in Chu Chen's gambling level very much, and when they saw him say this, they were all relieved.
Chu Yulan asked, "Brother, does that guy have a grudge against you?" After speaking, she also glanced at Du Yuncheng with disgust.
Chu Chen just wanted to tell the reason, Lu Changshun also walked over from the side, he said apologetically: "Xiao Chu, I'm really sorry, I didn't expect Du Yuncheng's heart to be so small-minded, because of the incident in the morning, he held a grudge." ”
Hearing this, Liu Sizhe hurriedly asked, "Shopkeeper Lu, what happened in the morning?" ”
"He bought a piece of wool that Xiao Chu was not optimistic about, and gamble......d on it," Lu Changshun briefly told a few people about the morning's events.
"Isn't it!" When everyone heard that this was the case, they all looked at each other, this is just this person's poor eyesight, what does it have to do with Chu Chen? And he also sprinkled the fire on Chu Chen's head, this person is too weird, right?
Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand and said, "There may be these factors in it, but I think the most important thing is because during the Spring Festival, I helped identify the relationship between a bronze tripod of his family." ”
"Oh!" Hearing this, Chu Yulan also thought about it: "I said that the woman is so familiar, it turns out to be that Du Liyu!" The man is also surnamed Du. Could it be that he is Du Shengqing's son? ”
"Well, that's him!" Chu Chen nodded.
Wen Yuting hurriedly asked, "Yulan." Tell me, what the hell is going on? ”
"That's the case...... Wen Yuting briefly explained the events of the day. Then he said angrily:
"When Guan Lao said that, I still didn't believe it, I didn't expect this person to be so hateful!"
Everyone listened to the cause and effect of the incident, and they were all speechless for a while, your thing is a fake, can't others say it? Besides, Chu Chen was invited by Guan Guokang at that time, so he must be responsible for Guan Guokang, and he can't complain about Chu Chen's head no matter how much he complains about this!
Lu Changshun frowned and said, "This matter is a bit unreliable." Didn't he explain it after the fact? ”
"Forget it!" Chu Chen waved his hand: "Anyway, it's just a clown jumping off the beam, and I also promised to pass the old pass, forget about it today, but no matter how indiscriminate he is, then I will take some measures!" ”
Speaking of which, now Chu Chen has some opinions about Guan Guokang, after all, this matter is also because of the trouble caused by helping Guan Guokang identify, and he can't say that he just wants him to refrain from it. And Guan Guokang himself won't find a way to solve it, right?
And the solution to this matter is also very simple, as long as Guan Guokang calls Du Shengqing, Chu Chen didn't believe it, and the other party heard his background. Dare to come to him for trouble.
But now from the behavior of Du Yuncheng's brothers and sisters, it can be seen that the other party does not know Chu Chen's identity at all, that is. Guan Guokang probably didn't even make a phone call, how could this not make Chu Chen feel sorry for Guan Guokang?
Of course. In the contact between Chu Chen and Guan Guokang, he knew that Guan Guokang was also quite reliable in his usual work. He believed that Guan Guokang would not even think of this kind of thing.
"Maybe something happened?" Chu Chen thought so.
Everyone believed that Chu Chen should be able to handle this matter, and when he said this, they didn't say anything more about this matter.
At this time, Liu Sizhe opened his mouth and asked: "Shopkeeper Lu, why did you invite this kind of person to participate in the auction?" ”
Lu Changshun smiled bitterly: "I didn't know that this guy was so small-minded, if I knew this, I would definitely not invite him over." ”
Although Lu Changshun held the auction to make money, and the current situation is also his benefit, but just like ordinary auctions, even if there is a price increase, there will be a certain limit, otherwise if you do too much, it will easily cause public anger.
So that kind of behavior just now, Lu Changshun seems to have benefited, but if this kind of thing happens again and again in his auctions, then his reputation will also be lost. Besides, if the personality of the person who suffered the loss is the same as Du Yuncheng's, and his anger is transferred to Lu Changshun's head, then isn't he the pond fish who was affected?
"Xiao Chu, why don't I give you a discount!" Lu Changshun said to Chu Chen.
Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand: "No, this matter has nothing to do with you, besides, do you think I won't gamble?" ”
Although Lu Changshun also believes in Chu Chen's gambling level, he really doesn't believe that this piece of wool can be bought for 4.8 million yuan and can be gambled, of course, he can only think about this in his heart, he will definitely not say this on the table.
Lu Changshun persuaded a few words, and seeing that Chu Chen really didn't want any discounts, he planned to give Chu Chen some discounts depending on the situation in the future, and then said goodbye: "That's okay, Xiao Chu, I'll go first, if there's anything, let the waiter call me directly......"
In the next auction, Chu Chen changed his previous strategy, basically every piece of wool, he had to quote the second price, at first everyone thought that the wool was Chu Chen's favor, and they actively bid.
But Chu Chen's expression made many people very depressed, some of them he quoted the price a few times and didn't say it, and the key point was that he deliberately raised the price, and when someone followed the offer, he smiled and didn't follow. The jade merchants here are not stupid, and after several times, they immediately knew that it was difficult for them to follow the trend.
In fact, Chu Chen's expression, everyone also thinks it is normal, after all, no one wants to give up what they are optimistic about to others, and if it is themselves, they will do the same.
So, in the next wool auction, everyone was not affected by Chu Chen's bid as much as possible, and in the end, Chu Chen really relied on this method to get two pieces of wool he liked, although the price was more expensive than he expected before, but compared with the value of the jadeite inside the wool, it was still not worth mentioning.
During this period, Chu Chen's arrival was not all smooth sailing, and Du Yuncheng, who was sitting in front, kept staring at him, as long as he quoted, he would also follow the offer. In the end, the two pieces of jade that Chu Chen took a fancy to were also photographed by Du Yuncheng.
Although the final transaction price was almost close to the value of the jadeite in the wool, it added up to make Du Yuncheng earn nearly one million, which made Chu Chen a little unhappy.
In retaliation, Chu Chen also cheated Du Yuncheng, one of which was very good, with a starting price of 800,000 yuan for all gambling materials, but the internal jade was only worth 500,000 yuan.
During the auction, Chu Chen deliberately showed that he was very concerned, and Du Yuncheng of course followed closely, but Du Yuncheng auctioned it at a price of 2.05 million. This also made Chu Chen take revenge.
At this time, Du Yuncheng didn't know that he had lost 1.05 million, and he was very satisfied with being able to shoot these three pieces of wool, because these three pieces of wool were originally in his acquisition list, but they were only two million higher than the previous budget, but he felt that since Chu Chen was very optimistic about these three pieces of wool, he would definitely be able to make a lot of money.
It's just that there is a problem now, because it is two million higher than the budget, and his current funds are not enough to pay for the wool, and it is definitely unrealistic to let him give up, which makes him can only borrow money from Du Liyu in a low voice.
"It's okay to borrow money, but you can't just talk about it, right?" Du Liyu said with a smile.
"Didn't I write an IOU?" Du Yuncheng replied with a smile.
"Just an IOU?" Du Liyu asked with a smile.
"And what more do you want?"
"Don't you want to give me some interest?"
Du Yuncheng was a little angry when he heard this: "What? Do you still want interest? When I borrowed money from you, why didn't you say that you would give me interest? ”
Du Liyu also said with a straight face: "How much money should I borrow from you?" It doesn't add up to 500,000, right? Do you see that I borrowed 500,000 yuan from you for interest? How much now, though? Million! I have interest on this money in the bank, and when it comes to you, you make money, and I have nothing? In a word, if you want to borrow or not, if you don't borrow, forget it! ”
There is no way, now the rich are all uncles, even if Du Yuncheng is reluctant, he can only agree to pay interest.
Seeing that Du Yuncheng agreed, Du Liyu secretly sneered and said, "I won't say much, just calculate it according to the interest on the loan in the bank!" ”
Du Yuncheng took a deep breath when he heard this, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!" ”
"Are you going to write the IOU now, or will you write it later?"
"I'll talk about it later!"
Du Yuncheng waved his hand, now that the auction is not over, maybe he can still grab the wool that Chu Chen fancies, and when the time comes, he may not only be able to make up for the loss of interest, but also make a sum of money, and his heart can be happier.
It's just that although Chu Chen also made a bid for the next few pieces of wool, he didn't add them after adding them a few times, and it didn't seem to have any intention at all, which made Du Yuncheng very disappointed.
In the blink of an eye, the auction came to the last moment, and only the wool with a starting price of only 500,000 yuan was left on the scene. For this piece of wool, many people's opinions are similar to what Liu Sizhe said before, so everyone is not interested in this piece of wool, and after the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, no one bid for half a day.
In this way, this piece of wool is likely to be the only piece of wool that will not be auctioned in this auction, which is why Lu Changshun put this piece of wool in the last auction.
The auctioneer looked around and saw that no one was interested in the wool, so he prepared to announce the failure of the auction, and some of the jade merchants sitting at the door also stood up and prepared to leave.
"Five hundred thousand!" At the moment when the auctioneer was in the middle of the coffin, Chu Chen suddenly spoke.
Now it was suddenly quiet, because there was a previous precedent, and everyone didn't understand, whether Chu Chen was optimistic about this piece of wool, or was he going to dig a pit for people to jump? (To be continued......)
