Chapter 186: The Enemy
Here, Wang Yuanbao actually saw Li Shan when he didn't go upstairs, this auction house has two floors, which is very large. The first floor is the hall, and the second- and third-rate characters are basically shopping for some objects on the first floor.
Those who can go up to the second floor are either rich or powerful, and the second floor is a private room, which is distributed in a central ring, and the middle is hollow, and there is only one staircase for people to go up and down, and the situation on the first floor can be clearly seen from the second floor.
Wang Yuanbao recognized Li Shan and hurriedly asked Xue Ji to go to say hello, Li Shan is not what he used to be, and he can't be treated like he was when he was in Jingzhou. Although he doesn't have much friendship with Li Shan, he knows better than he doesn't know, and now Li Shan is hot, and if he doesn't seize the opportunity to take a good set, he may be robbed by others.
"Oh, Li Gongzi, it's really fate, I didn't expect to meet Li Gongzi here. Come and sit down, Xue Ji, you take care of Mrs. Li. Wang Yuanbao came up and took Li Shan's hand cordially, as if he had been a good friend for many years.
Xue Ji also led Liu Ruyan and others to sit down, this private room is also very spacious, and the charcoal fire inside is very strong and warm. Li Shan took off the mink fur, and Xue Ji hurriedly came over to catch it, carefully folded it and put it aside.
Wang Yuanbao had already poured the wine himself, and said with a smile: "As the so-called life does not meet, I haven't seen Li Gongzi for more than a year and has become a man of the year in Chang'an, when I was in Jingzhou, I saw that Gongzi was an extraordinary product, but Wang was still clumsy, I didn't expect Li Gongzi to be able to do this in just one year, which really made Wang embarrassed." Come, Wang Mouren toasts Li Gongzi with a cup. ”
"Boss Wang is polite, to be honest, you still helped me. Although there was a little suspicion at the time, it can be said that you don't know each other without fighting, right? Li Shan has always stretched out his hand and not laughed at people's faces, and Li Shan still likes this kind of person who takes the initiative to show goodwill.
Wang Yuanbao was even more happy. Thumbs up: "Yes, yes, I just don't know each other if I don't fight." ”
While the two were talking, three people came in outside, it was Guo Xianxing and the father and daughter of the Yang family.
"Brother Wang is really here, I just told Brother Guo that I saw the Snow Maiden. Brother Guo still doesn't believe it. Yang Chongyi came in very close to Wang Yuanbao when he came in, "In this harsh winter, I have high-quality aged wine here, and you are blessed." ”
Li Shan looked at the appearance of a few people, and naturally thought that they were friends, but he didn't care.
But Wang Yuanbao knew the inside story, these two guys were here to dig the foot of the wall, he had long known that these two people were here, so when he saw Li Shan, he quickly asked Xue Ji to lead Li Shan to his private room, but he didn't expect to be seen by these two people.
But the appearance of the surface still has to be done. Anyway, even if Wang Yuanbao catches them away, they can't get rid of them, so let's just cross the sea with the eight immortals to show their magical powers, after all, Wang Yuanbao still has an advantage.
Wang Yuanbao also said enthusiastically: "What a coincidence, come, Brother Yang Guo Lao, please sit down, Xue Ji take care of Miss Yang." Let me introduce you, this is a young talent in the world now, the popular Li Shanzi next to the emperor. These two Guo go first. Yang Chongyi is a well-known wealthy businessman in Beijing. ”
Li Shan got up and bowed slightly, which was considered a salute. Yang Chongyi and Guo Xianxing bowed deeply before sitting down.
Although Li Shan is young, the official is older than the people, and he is still a businessman, even if he is a rich businessman, his status is very low. That is, Li Shan's class thinking is not serious, although he has also been influenced a lot during these years. But in his bones, he is still dominated by democratic ideas. If someone else takes the identity of Li Shan, he doesn't have to stand up.
At this time, there was a sound of gongs from downstairs, and the auction began.
"Today's first lot is a bloody BMW from the Western Regions, with a starting price of thirty taels of silver." The opening lot is still very attractive, and the words of the shopkeeper come out. There was a cry from those present.
Li Shan smiled: "This auction pavilion is very atmospheric, isn't it?" I don't know who opened it? ”
This made several other people stunned, because this auction pavilion is run by the government, and generally speaking, the confiscated property of sinners or confiscated objects are auctioned. However, with the increase of foreign items, there will also be merchants who will auction their treasures for a good price.
However, Li Shan didn't know, Wang Yuanbao also explained it to him, and Li Shan understood.
The things of the official family are magnificent, and before Li Shan came in, he looked at the style of the building, and it was obvious that there was some officialdom, which was really right. Now Li Shan can be regarded as having some eyesight.
The competition for this bloody BMW was very fierce, and it soared to one hundred taels of silver before it was taken away by a Beijing official, and a general on the other side jumped his feet angrily, but he was helpless if he had no money in his hand.
There are dignitaries and nobles here, and even many pro-dynasty assistants come back here to shoot something, but in order to pursue the greatest benefits, so the second floor is a private room, and the biggest advantage of the private room is that you can't see the people inside, so you won't dare to bid because of your identity.
"The second lot is a foreign piece, a precious gem from the West. The reserve price is ten taels of silver, do any of you want to increase the price? ”
Li Shan was a little interested when he heard that it was an imported product, he wanted to buy something for Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi, if it was a diamond or something, it was still very much in line with Li Shan's wishes.
Li Shan stood up and walked to the door of the private room and looked down, the gem was very small and he couldn't see clearly. But soon the auction house guy went to the second floor with a tray of gems and walked around, also to let the auctioneers see more clearly.
It is a natural aquamarine with a fairly pure texture, and there is no need to worry about being an imitation in this era. Li Shan stopped the guy and asked him to bring the gem in and take a look.
"Ruyan, Jinxi, you come and see." Li Shan said to the two women in the side compartment of the private room.
Gemstones have a fatal attraction for women, and when several women saw this blue gemstone, their eyes showed longing.
However, the starting price of gemstones is actually not high, and the main reason is that the status of women in ancient times was not high.
"Do you like it?" Li Shan asked Su Jinxi and Liu Ruyan, Li Shan estimated that these two women must like it, but there is only one gem, and it is still a question of who to buy it and give it to.
As for Xue Ji and Yang Miaoling, it's not a problem for him to consider.
Liu Ruyan and Su Jinxi nodded at the same time.
"Then I'll make a bid."
It wasn't until the guy finished a lap on the second floor and returned to the first floor that the boss announced that the bidding had officially begun.
"Ten taels of silver, does anyone want it?"
Li Shan walked out of the private room, he didn't need to hide his identity, even if it was the imperial prince, he dared to fight: "Ten taels of silver, I'm out." ”
"Ten taels of silver, this son gave out ten taels of silver. Is there anything more than ten taels of silver? ”
"I'll give twenty taels." A voice came from another private room, and at the same time a man walked out.
Li Shan's face turned cold when he looked at the person who came out, and then sneered.
"Li Chengwei's son's bid is twenty taels, is there anything higher than twenty taels?"
Li Chengwei, after saying goodbye to Jingzhou, finally met again. (To be continued.) )
