Four-one-six, back to the old place
As soon as it was dark, Lao Wang's phone rang on time, it was the phone of the club driver, who came to pick up Lao Zhang, a special guest.
"The car is coming, let's go!" Lao Zhang greeted.
Lao Zhang and Ye Zifeng had just come out of the tea room, a black Daben slowly stopped beside them, Lao Zhang didn't say a word, and motioned to Ye Zifeng to get in the car.
When the driver saw it, he didn't speak, but just glanced at Ye Zifeng more, it seemed that he knew Lao Zhang.
Almost halfway through Kyoto, Oben slowly stopped at the gate of a courtyard.
Several black-clothed security guards looked at Daben's license plate, did not do anything to stop it, and quickly opened the iron door and let Daben in.
Ye Zifeng looked at the familiar courtyard and security guards, and wanted to die headlonging.
This place, Ye Zifeng came here more than ten days ago, and he made a big show here, destroying the prestige of the disciples of the Kyoto family with one pair of ten.
In the end, Duan Ye was alarmed.
This is the Fenghua Club!
Fenghua Club is a top-notch private club, there is no signboard outside, ordinary, just a strict security system, showing its difference.
Last time, Ye Zifeng and Luo Qingxue came to Fenghua Club to participate in the jewelry exchange meeting, and they didn't want a lot of things to happen, even Duan Ye spoke, and the jewelry exchange meeting was canceled, and they didn't want it to become a cultural relics and jewelry auction now.
Daben drove directly into the underground parking lot, and before getting out of the car, the driver handed them two masks, which turned out to be masks of Xiangjiang film and television stars, one Andy, and the other was Xingzai.
Not traditional enough! Ye Zifeng muttered in his heart, before, in Sui City, Ye Zifeng participated in the auction of cultural relics of the Tang family, but they were all based on the twelve zodiac signs, but when he arrived in Kyoto, he became a star.
Lao Zhang was familiar with the road and directly put Andy's mask on his head, and Ye Zifeng had no choice but to wear Xingzai's mask.
"What happened to you?" After getting out of the car, Lao Zhang asked Ye Zifeng.
Because when Ye Zifeng found out that the place Lao Zhang was going to bring him to was Fenghua Club, his face was full of excitement, which naturally couldn't be hidden from Lao Zhang.
"Oh, I thought the auction was in a remote and hidden place, I didn't expect it to be in such a place! It's dark under the lights! Ye Zifeng snorted. Naturally, he would not tell Lao Zhang about his grievances and hatred with Fenghua Club.
If Lao Zhang knew about the grievances and hatred between Ye Zifeng and the Li family, and he was the guest of the Li family, I don't know what Lao Zhang would have said.
"Do people still want the lights to be dark?" Lao Zhang was full of disdain for Ye Zifeng's thoughts.
Ye Zifeng also wanted to ask Lao Zhang about the Fenghua Club. At this time, the two men in black came over directly and motioned for Lao Zhang and Ye Zifeng to follow them.
They were taken to the elevator by the man in black, and then took the elevator to the sixth floor.
On the sixth floor, there is a large house, which has been transformed into a performance stage, with a large square platform in the middle, arranged as an auction center, and surrounded by stands, where the bidders sit.
It has now been turned into an auction site for cultural relics. Seeing this situation, Ye Zifeng even wondered if they often performed here in addition to the auction.
Ye Zifeng's thoughts are too dirty, and with the status of the Li family in Kyoto, he will not fall into this realm.
The man in black took them directly to the side of the stands, and there was a number on the stands, which was the same as the number plate handed to him by the driver of Daben when they brought them in.
There were not many people at the auction site, only one side of the stand was filled, and the other three stands were empty.
Ye Zifeng glanced at it, and it turned out that the other three party stands were not marked with numbers, that is, the other three party stands were originally intended to be empty, and the people participating in the auction were concentrated on this side.
If you look at it this way, the number of bidders has almost arrived, and there are only a few vacant, numbered vacant seats.
The arrival of Ye Zifeng and Lao Zhang did not attract the attention of many people, everyone was wearing masks, and they couldn't tell who the person behind the mask was.
Ye Zifeng took a look at the masks, but he was dumbfounded, all the masks were Xiangjiang film and television stars, and they would be repeated, Ye Zifeng saw several Andy and Xingzai.
Could the auctioneer be mistaken about these duplicate masks?
But thinking that everyone has a number, the auctioneer only recognizes the number and does not recognize the person. In that case, the repetition of the mask is a better disguise.
Ye Zifeng suddenly thought, if Long Yi came to participate in this kind of auction and saw so many stars of his film and television company being made into masks and wearing the heads of those irrelevant people, would he laugh?
Ye Zifeng and Lao Zhang's positions are on the edge of the front row, and it seems that the Li family still values Zhang Lao quite a lot.
Because the people who participated in the auction were all wearing masks, Ye Zifeng didn't recognize anyone, but he believed that there must be someone he knew here, before, so many disciples of the family feasted him, Ye Zifeng didn't believe that they would not come to this kind of auction.
But these people sat precariously and didn't talk to the people around them at all, and occasionally saw two people whispering, it should be like Ye Zifeng and Lao Zhang, the two of them came together.
After all, not everyone who participated in the auction knew how to identify cultural relics, on the contrary, these disciples of the family were all vassals and elegant cultural relics, and they were afraid of being dazzled, so they would naturally bring an expert in cultural relics identification to help with the identification.
Therefore, the bidders often appear in pairs, and the bidder will also give the bidder two same numbers, such as Lao Zhang and Ye Zifeng, they are the same number.
Judging from the situation, there are not many people who participate in the auction of cultural relics, and they should be shortlisted for the auction after the strict selection of the Fenghua Club.
Lao Zhang told him a long time ago that the characteristic of this kind of cultural relics auction is that the cultural relics are few but fine, and the real treasures can be auctioned.
If this kind of private cultural relics auction is all mainland goods, it will be laughable and generous, and even lower the grade of Fenghua Club, which is not the opposite?
At this time, Ye Zifeng saw a few people passing by, they were different, all of them wore the masks of fierce beasts, forming a completely different contrast from the others.
Ye Zifeng looked at the man wearing the tiger mask, walking in a hurry, exuding the momentum of the superior, while several other people gathered behind him, only his horse was watching.
Ye Zifeng saw it and smiled knowingly behind the mask.
The auction officially began after these people sat down, and it was obvious that these people were the VIPs invited by the auctioneer.
An auctioneer in a suit, assembled, and wearing white gloves stepped onto the auction table.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, and now the auction has officially begun! The first item to be auctioned is the Golden Mask, so please take turns looking at them in numbered order! ”
This auctioneer is very professional, and the black boss is naturally incomparable, but the black boss is true and natural.
Everyone didn't expect that the first object in today's auction was the gold mask, which was exactly the same as the bronze mask unearthed in Sanxingdui.
The mask is exaggerated, the eyes are large and prominent, and there is the momentum of looking at everything, the ears are wide and towering, and the nose bridge is straight and huge, and the lips are wide and closed, which always maintain a mysterious majesty.
The auctioneer claimed that it was a gold mask, but it was actually a bronze mask, but there was a layer of gold coating on it, which had been mottled and corroded, and there were still traces of gold in some places. This makes the whole mask look old-fashioned.
The tiger-faced man didn't move, but the two people around him came to the stage and clapped their eyes.
And the vast majority of people are the same, only let the cultural relics appraiser they brought come to the stage, and sit under the stage, only those who are really interested in this golden mask will go on stage with the appraiser.
After Ye Zifeng and Lao Zhang took turns to look at each other, Ye Zifeng whispered in his ear, causing Lao Zhang to almost fall off the stage.
Ye Zifeng said: "Look, isn't it good to put this golden mask in the courtyard as a door god?" ”
Lao Zhang almost fainted when he heard this.
Although Lao Zhang is not good at the identification of cultural relics, he can also see that this golden mask should be an object unearthed in Sanxingdui, which is thousands of years old, and he actually wants to take it down to be a door god?
If Lao Wang was here, knowing his thoughts, he would have to eat him alive.
"The starting price of this golden mask is 2 million! 200,000 each increase! Bidding is now open! The auctioneer waited for everyone to take turns to look at each other before announcing the start of the auction.
Because this gold mask was the first item to be paid at today's cultural relics auction, everyone was still waiting, and after the auctioneer announced the start of bidding, there was a very brief silence at the auction site.
"3 million!" Ye Zifeng was the first to make a bid.
The reserve price of this gold mask turned out to be only 2 million, which is too low, according to the market, the bottom of the starting auction should be 10 million to be normal.
This is also the strategy of Fenghua Club, starting at a low price, is to give everyone enough face, as for the price of the later auction, it has nothing to do with Fenghua Club, but the final bidding price is almost the same as the price expected by Fenghua Club, after all, the people participating in the auction are not fools, everyone has appraisers around them, and the situation of picking up leaks will not appear at all.
Lao Zhang didn't expect Ye Zifeng to be the first to make a bid, did he really want to take a picture of this golden mask and go back to be a door god?
Ye Zifeng glared at him from behind the mask, and said in his stomach, can't you be a door god?
Now that someone has made a bid, the atmosphere has become enthusiastic, and everyone has bidd.
Everyone knows the auctioneer's routine, and knows that the reserve price of the auctioned items is extremely low, and the bidding range is also very large.
Soon, the auction price of this golden mask has risen to 11 million!
This price is also the expected price in everyone's hearts, and there is not much room for growth, and there are many fewer people participating in the auction.
"12 million!" Ye Zifeng bid again.
After his first bid, Ye Zifeng became a bystander, and he didn't participate in the bidding again, as if his first bid was just to try it.
