Chapter 432: Auction (8)
In Old Man Qiao's opinion, this Mr. Yao is really a little delusional. Did he think he could compete with the young man called Steel Tooth next to Ji Meng? This is too much to overpower!
Looking at the expressions of Ji Meng and Gangya, Old Man Qiao remembered his first love for a moment, and there was an inexplicable sweet feeling in his heart.
The beauty of first love is the most unforgettable in life, even if TA is not good enough, or there is no perfect ending, it is still an indelible memory in the deepest part of people's hearts.
No matter how long it has passed, no matter how many people and how many things have been experienced, it is impossible to give up.
Old Man Qiao is not a person who likes children, but the moment he looked at Ji Meng and Steel Tooth, it touched his heartstring inexplicably.
The white hair sitting in the corner drank casually, and his eyes unconsciously swept towards Jimeng and Steel Tooth.
The corners of her mouth also raised a smile, smiling very gently, but a little stunned.
Ji Meng and Steel Tooth didn't realize this, but they both had some nervous and happy feelings in their hearts.
At this time, the headlights in the venue were turned off and the stage was lit up.
A gray-haired gentleman walked up, dressed a little more casually than the rest of the attendees.
But the casual clothes didn't make him look cowardly, but rather a sense of being an old pedant.
He walked to the podium, pushed the black-rimmed glasses on his face, and said with a smile at everyone:
"Ah...... Hello everyone! I'm Lao Tan, and I'm the auctioneer for this auction. Eh, I saw several familiar faces, they must be regular customers of our auction, right? ”
Before the words fell, I heard someone in the audience shouting: "Professor Tan! ”
Professor Tan smiled and waved his hand, and said happily: "Eh, don't call me professor, just call me Old Tan." Old altar sauerkraut! Hahaha! ”
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere felt quite lively and relaxed.
Although Professor Tan looks very pedantic, he speaks inexplicably interestingly. The whole book
Behind him, a large screen played the auction item, and the other side of the glass enclosure contained the items ready for auction.
According to the list given at the auction, the first lot was a jade snuff bottle, from the Qing Dynasty collection.
Although it is an antique, it has a slight flaw, and the condition is not very good.
The starting price is 800,000 yuan, which can be regarded as a warm-up object.
Old Man Qiao looked at Ji Meng and asked with a smile, "Are you interested in trying it?" ”
Ji Meng smiled and shook his head: "I don't like these things, besides, I don't have any money......"
"You only made so much money yesterday, and you don't have any money?" Old Man Qiao said jokingly.
Ji Meng's face turned red and lowered his head.
Old Man Qiao said with a straight face: "It's okay, wait a minute, if you see what you want, you just shoot." No matter how much it is, count it as a gift from me! ”
Ji Meng was stunned, and then smiled: "Thank you, Uncle Qiao, but I really don't need it." ”
Old Man Qiao raised his eyebrows and didn't say anything more, but his eyes swept over to the box where Mr. Yao was on the other side.
Mr. Yao didn't seem to have much interest in the snuffbox, leaning lazily on the armrest, looking down at the whole venue.
In this round, no one in the box on the second floor bid the price, but the hall on the first floor launched a fierce competition.
The price went up from 800,000 to 1.5 million.
In the end, the snuffbox was sold for 1.5 million. The successful bidder was an old gentleman with a happy expression.
"Wow, that's almost doubled." Ji Meng said with a light sigh.
Old Man Qiao looked at Ji Meng, and there was that puzzled look in his eyes, but he still didn't say anything, just smiled and nodded.
