Chapter 44: Under the Auction
Huang Xing thought that after boasting a lot, this rare treasure would definitely be warmly welcomed by everyone, and it would definitely bring the auction atmosphere to **, which is why he arranged this necklace in second place.
However, the atmosphere at the scene was a little dull, which greatly surprised him. He thought about it, maybe it was because there was no reserve price for the lot. But knowing this, he had no choice, he had discussed this issue with his colleagues before, but it was not a trivial matter to get involved with the emperor in the future, and it was also a decision made by them not to set a floor price.
At present, all the auctioneers in the auction hall are also facing this problem, and those who can be sent here are not fools, and naturally know the importance of the first bid. If you shout low, you will be suspected of despising the emperor, but if you shout high, it will be your own pocket. Therefore, everyone only looks at me, I look at you, and they all want to win this priceless treasure, but they don't want to be this bird.
If you want to say that there is a huge venue, the people who really want this necklace are probably still young Bao Nimei. It's just that she heard Huang Xing blow this necklace to the sky, and then pinched her unassuming purse, only pouting and drawing circles there.
After a long time, Bao Nimei still didn't hear the sound of bidding, scanned the audience with a puzzled gaze, and finally mustered up the courage to slowly raise his sign.
Huang Xing saw that someone was finally holding up a sign, and when he looked at it, he found that it was Bao Nimei, so he asked tentatively: "Nimei girl, how much do you bid?" ”
"Five...... Fifty-eight times! Bao Nimei's eyes dodged, and she stammered, although she has always claimed to be bold, but she was a little embarrassed to face such a low bid.
Puff puff......
Before she could say this, many people in the audience staged a water spray competition. Not only that, but even Huang Xing was almost angry with her, and it was not easy to control his emotions, and he asked again: "Ni Mei girl, are you sure it's fifty-eight times?" And not 580,000? ”
"I ...... I'm only fifty-eight! Bao Nimei said with some trepidation: "This is all the pocket money I have saved when I grow up, and some of it is earned by my own work!" ”
"Okay!" Huang Xing looked at her innocent face and said helplessly: "The girl at table 17 bids 58 times!" Is there anything higher? ”
"1000 times!"
"2000 times!"
……
"100,000 times!"
With Bao Nimei, a headless and brainless girl, charging into battle, others were no longer subtle, and they raised the price one after another, and soon soared to an astonishing price of 100,000 yuan.
"Woo...... Woohoo......"
Bao Nimei listened to a soaring number, and seemed to see that her beloved necklace was flying away, but her financial resources were limited, and her father was an iron rooster, so she only pounced on Wei Pu and had a runny nose.
"Oops! Don't cry! You've got your books wet! Wei Pu wiped her tears with his hands and feet, and said unashamedly: "Isn't it just a necklace!" I'll make you a dozen when I'm free! Don't cry, so many people are watching, it's a shame to be dead! ”
"Really? Then you will do it for me tomorrow, okay? Bao Nimei looked at him with teary eyes.
Wei Pu looked at her look like she would cry if she didn't agree, and only nodded reluctantly.
This move did not affect the hot atmosphere of the live auction, and at this moment, the bid was raised to 250,000 yuan.
Huang Xing held the hammer and shouted ecstatically: "The Liu member at table 3 is out for 250,000 yuan!" Is there anything higher? This is a rare treasure that can not be found, and there will be absolutely no such shop in this village! What are you still hesitating about, this is a good thing that the queen has the same necklace, and she can't meet it in eight lifetimes, so let you stand it today, but you have to cherish this opportunity! ”
There were really people who didn't want him to agitate, and a pot-bellied guy stood up and shouted with a red face: "300,000 yuan!" ”
Boy! This is almost catching up with the New Year's coins that the Song State gave to the Liao State before. It can be seen that this product is also bleeding heavily for this necklace! Well, that's probably the credit of the guy next to him who was scratching his head!
"Good, good!" Huang Xing shouted: "The famous Chu Yuanwai is really worthy of his reputation!" 300,000 times, for the first time! Is there anything higher? ”
The Liu Yuanwai, who bid 250,000 yuan, was very dissatisfied because he inserted this lever, and said in a weird manner: "Chu Fatty, for a woman, you are really generous!" ”
Chu Yuanwai also-for-tat, and replied very domineeringly: "Who made my own staff rich!" If you have the ability, you will follow, is it interesting to be sour there! ”
Liu Yuanwai: "You ......"
"Alright! All right! Huang Xing hurriedly played a round and said: "Fair competition, reasonable bidding, don't hurt the harmony between the two." Getting back to business, 300,000 runs, the second time! If you want to bid, you have to seize the opportunity! ”
Huang Xing set his eyes on Liu Yuanwai, who had been competing, and saw that he had also died down, so he had to announce: "300,000 yuan, the third time!" Deal! Congratulations to Chu Yuanwai for taking this priceless necklace! ”
"Take! Concession! Chu Yuanwai himself also breathed a sigh of relief, arched his hand towards the surrounding crowd, and deliberately glanced at Liu Yuanwai provocatively.
"The saint is right, a woman's money is really easy to make!" Huang Xing muttered in his heart, and was about to send the necklace to Chu Yuanwai's hand and complete the collection of money.
At this time, a little guy suddenly ran onto the stage and whispered a few words in Huang Xing's ear, and after Huang Xing heard it, his face changed suddenly.
It wasn't until the little guy left that Huang Xing adjusted his mentality, put on a smiling face again, and arched his hand in the direction of Chu Yuanwai: "Chu Yuanwai, I'm really sorry!" Just now, several sensibles of my Treasure Pavilion had an urgent consultation, and they all agreed that this 'love is stronger than gold' necklace represents the emperor's loyal love for the queen and the three concubines, and love is sacred and cannot be tarnished with money! Therefore, the Pavilion finally decided to sell this necklace to Bao Ni Mei Bao girl for 58 guan, hoping that you can be loyal to love in the future, and the god of true love will give you blessings! ”
"Nope! I'm not convinced! Why? It's our highest bid, I want this necklace! The beauty beside Chu Yuanwai saw that the cooked ducks were flying, and she didn't care about maintaining her posture in front of the public, so she stood up suddenly and howled loudly.
Huang Xing didn't get angry because of this rude woman, he still smiled and said, "I don't know what to call this ...... What about the little girl! You're right, you, oh, no, it should be that this Chu Yuanwai next to you is indeed the highest bidder present, but the Pavilion didn't say that whoever bids the highest will definitely sell it! Besides, do you know what love is? 300,000 yuan, well, is indeed a sky-high price, but I believe that this is not all you have! But the 58 pieces of the girl are the belongings she has saved for more than ten years, and every copper plate in it is saved by herself, you, have, what, what, qualifications, with, her, than? ”
"I, I, I...... You, you, you ......" The beauty was choked by Huang Xing's words, and kept pointing but didn't find the words.
And Chu Yuanwai next to her was not as simple-minded as her, so he hurriedly pushed her down to the seat, arched his hand towards Huang Xing, and said apologetically: "It's rude!" The dog girl doesn't know how to count, so she can make you laugh! I also think that the neon girl is more suitable! ”
Huang Xing: "Oh! It turned out to be love, and it is understandable that I love my daughter! In the future, I would like to thank Chu Yuan for his love, and I am grateful! However, there is also a mistake in this matter, so I will make the decision to give the next auction item to Chu Yuanwai as a gift! ”
Chu Yuanwai hurriedly excused himself and said, "No, no, no!" You're so kind! ”
Huang Xing: "Huh! There should be rules to be talked about, please accept this gift, Master Chu! I hope you don't dislike it! ”
Chu Yuanwai: "Don't dare, don't dare!" It is better to obey your fate than to be respectful! ”
"That's good! Later, the auction item was sent to Chu Yuanwai. Huang Xing took the auction item from the maid's hand, lifted the brocade cloth and said: "This piece of jewelry is composed of the four words 'honesty and trustworthiness' in the holy lord's own book, and the shape is very simple, or it is more appropriate to say a pair of words. However, it has two very special features, one is that it is engraved with the personal seal of the Holy One, and the other is the material of the jewelry. Presumably the friends who saw it have already recognized it, yes, the material used in this jewelry is the kind of glass used in the window next to you, but this one is the best of the best, without the slightest impurity, and it can also be said to be a unique existence in the world. In the following, I would like to congratulate Chu Yuanwai for being able to have such a rare treasure! ”
Chu Yuanwai: "Thank you! Thanks a lot! However, such a rare treasure, the old man categorically did not dare to harvest it in vain. Why don't you buy it for 100,000 yuan? ”
Huang Xing: "Chu Yuanwai has a heart!" Although this thing is worth a lot of money, but the Pavilion has always been a talk, so you can accept it! ”
"This ......" Chu Yuanwai hesitated for a moment before saying: "That Huang shopkeeper, you see this is good!" The old man heard that part of the proceeds from the auction would be used for the relief work of the Yellow River disaster, so the old man donated the 100,000 yuan for this disaster relief. ”
"This ...... Then here on behalf of the affected people, thank Chu Yuanwai for his great kindness! Huang Xing thought about it, agreed to Chu Yuanwai's proposal, and personally delivered the auction item to him: "Please take this treasure!" ”
"Thank you! Thanks a lot! Chu Yuanwai respectfully took the ornament, and transferred the money to the name of the Treasure Pavilion, and then pulled his daughter who was still angry and hurriedly left the Treasure Pavilion.
"Daddy! People like that necklace so much, why don't you let your daughter fight! As soon as he left the Treasure Pavilion, the daughter named Chu Ling'er outside Chu Yuan called again.
"Shh Chu Yuanwai felt that his daughter's mouth was blocked, and he lowered his voice and said, "My baby daughter!" You can't talk nonsense, you're going to lose your head! ”
Chu Ling'er still pouted: "Daddy, why!" It's obviously our highest bid, and we don't let people say it? Also, why don't you reason with that nasty yellow shopkeeper? Don't you love your daughter? Whining...... I'm my mother! My daughter's life is so miserable! Woohoo......"
Chu Yuanwai saw that his daughter was using a common stunt, so he had to hurriedly leave her from the scene, and painstakingly comforted: "I'm a little ancestor!" Don't make a fuss, how can Daddy not hurt you! ”
Chu Ling'er: "Then you go and buy the necklace back!" ”
Chu Yuanwai shook his head: "I won't buy it!" Daddy didn't dare to buy it! ”
Chu Linger looked at her father with tears in her eyes: "Why? Can't we give money? Our family has so much money, let him make a price! ”
Chu Yuanwai said helplessly: "People are not short of money, the world is everyone's, how do you care about our family's money!" ”
"The world?" Chu Ling'er was stunned and asked, "Isn't this world the emperor?" Yikes! You don't mean that the emperor didn't let us sell it just now, right? ”
Chu Yuanwai touched his daughter's head: "It seems that my daughter is quite smart!" ”
"That's it! Don't look at who I am! The little girl couldn't help but boast, Chu Linger's tail was about to reach the sky, and after a while, she asked rhetorically: "But, how did the emperor come here?" ”
Chu Yuanwai: "Why can't you come!" Do you think that yellow shopkeeper can hold up such a big field? Those who are present do not know that this is the property of the queen mother? To put it bluntly, everyone said they came here. Judging from the situation just now, maybe the emperor or queen is inside, but he just doesn't want to show up. ”
Chu Ling'er: "Okay! I'll forgive you this time. But why do you have to donate so much money in the future? That's 100,000 yuan, how long will it take for our family to earn it back! ”
Chu Yuanwai touched his daughter's head and said with a smile: "Good daughter, you don't understand!" Dad, this is ...... What, what's the new word...... Yes, investment is investment! (To be continued.) )
