Chapter 22: The Millennial Old Fox
The Wei family invited Chen Tianao, and the apparent reason was that the patriarch Wei Jueye celebrated his fiftieth birthday.
Those wealthy families in Ancheng who are good friends with the Wei family will be present.
In Ancheng, the status of the Lin family and the Wei family is relatively detached.
It can be said that it is a hundred responses.
Chen Tianao took Qi Wu and Feng Lingyue, changed into casual casual clothes, and came to the Wei family manor.
The Wei family manor, the courtyard alone is like a large park on a large scale, with birds singing and fragrant flowers, and deep grass and trees.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the three of them came to the welcome lawn of the birthday party.
The combination of a man and two women instantly attracted the attention of many people.
Qi Wu and Feng Lingyue both changed into slightly solemn velvet cheongsams, and their figures were exquisite, which caused many young men in the audience to discuss.
"Oops! Mr. Chen's arrival is far away! ”
With a hearty greeting, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a kind face came out wearing Chinese casual clothes and smiling.
From the information collected from the owner of the night banquet bar before, Chen Tianao recognized at a glance that this was the head of the Wei family, Wei Jueye, nicknamed "God of Wealth" in Ancheng City.
The other party is smiling and welcoming, after all, today is the other party's birthday, and you have to give a little face.
Chen Tianao nodded symbolically.
"Master Wei, on your birthday today, I'll come over to be happy."
"Where, please take a seat, today, in addition to my birthday, there is also an interesting auction, I believe it will not disappoint Mr. Chen."
"Auction?"
Wei Jueye nodded and explained with a smile: "I heard that Mr. Chen likes to do charity, and our Wei family is also keen to do our part for charity. ”
"Today, we specially convene the friends who like to collect in Ancheng, and take out some antiques, calligraphy and paintings that have been treasured for many years to share with you, and the auction proceeds will be donated to the border area."
Charity auctions.
Last time, the Lei family held a charity dinner, which turned into a Hongmen banquet.
However, with the lessons of the past, presumably the Wei family is not so stupid.
Chen Tianao, under the personal guidance of Wei Jueye, sat in the VIP area in front of the auction table.
Many people watched the head of the Wei family talking and laughing with Chen Tianao, and they were guessing his identity.
"Who is this young man? Do you want the head of the Wei family to greet you personally? ”
"You don't know yet? Chen Tianao, he is the one who threatens to make his adoptive father's family the number one in Ancheng! ”
"So rampant?"
"People have capital! Extinguish two doors in one day, and you are polite if you don't see the Wei family. ”
"What is the background?"
"I don't know, anyway, ordinary wealthy families can't afford to mess with him, and I'm afraid there are only four major families who can break his wrists with him."
Chen Tianao looked around, but he didn't find anyone from the other three major families.
The Wei family didn't invite the three major families?
This is a very interesting situation.
It seems that the Wei family did not directly refuse the olive branch they stretched out.
Wei Jueye personally came to the stage, said some polite words, and finally directly announced the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what can be brought up today is definitely a treasure, and even a treasure that some people are determined to get, I hope everyone can compete healthily and don't hurt the harmony."
After saying this, I don't know why, Wei Jueye glanced at Chen Tianao meaningfully.
Chen Tianao frowned, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the other party's gourd.
"This time, Mr. Hong Cheng, a well-known cultural relics appraisal expert, was invited to check for everyone, and everyone can rest assured."
A middle-aged man with a goatee and round glasses waved casually to everyone.
Someone in the audience suddenly exclaimed.
"Master Hong!"
"It's really Master Hong, the treasure connoisseur who is known as the sharp-eyed treasure master!"
"It looks like I'm really going to take the baby out."
Because of the presence of professional masters, the guests at the scene were also interested in what would appear at this auction.
Everyone talked about it, and the atmosphere suddenly became warm.
At this moment, the hostess strolled up to the auction table with a small box in her hand.
A fashionably dressed male host enthusiastically introduced him on stage.
"Distinguished guests, please wait and see, the first lot for you today is...... Handed down from the royal family of the previous dynasty, two round flame dragon ball earrings! ”
Wow!
As Miss Manners opened the rosewood box, an orange pearlescent light reflected out in the sun, which was very dazzling.
There was a neat exclamation from the audience.
Generous!
It's a big start to the game!
Dragon Ball is the best of pearls, also known as flame beads and Merlot beads.
These pearls, which come from the body of a sea conch, cannot be cultivated artificially.
Rare and precious Flame Dragon Balls are extremely difficult to produce, and the chance of finding them from conch shells is 1 in 1,000, and the chance of being able to mine them in their entirety to those that are larger in size and of good quality is even lower.
They range from irregular baroque to oval to egg-shaped, and the closer to a perfect circle, the higher the value.
In the collector's market, the Flame Dragon Ball is very rare, with an orange hue similar to that of a ripe papaya, with a cloud-like flame pattern structure on the inside and a crystalline porcelain luster on the outside.
Each of the two dragon balls in the auction shows a warm pattern like a burning cloud, which is lifelike.
Each bead is perfectly round, the diameter of each bead is comparable to a person's little finger, at least 100 carats, worthy of a royal relic!
Coupled with the solid gold earrings, it is a treasure.
Among the guests present, many of them are professional players who like to collect.
Even the ladies who were not interested in the auction were completely attracted by these two beautiful jewelry chains.
Pearls with beauties, the eyes of all the female guests present revealed a scorching heat, and they couldn't wait to have this string of dragon ball earrings immediately, put them on immediately, and become the most eye-catching existence in Ancheng.
Chen Tianao's expression was stunned, and surprise appeared on his face that had always been calm, and he looked at the pair of dragon ball earrings on the stage, his brows furrowed more and more.
Wei family, there is a saying!
Chen Tianao was not interested in this auction at first, but now he is very surprised, because he knows this pair of earrings!
This pair of flame pattern dragon ball earrings is the relic of his dead first love girlfriend, Yun Wenshu!
After Yun Wenshu's death, this pair of superb Dragon Ball earrings was lost.
According to the reasoning, the one most likely to get this pair of earrings is the one who killed Yun Wenshu directly!
Chen Tianao's brain was racing.
The Wei family, it is unlikely, the other party clearly understands the origin of this pair of earrings and himself, and auctions this pair of dragon balls, I am afraid that he just means that he knows some insiders.
Chen Tianao has always wanted to find out the truth about how he was framed back then, and his goal was almost directed at the Lin family, but what was missing?
Evidence!
This pair of Dragon Ball earrings, its source, is almost equivalent to iron-like evidence!
Whoever got this pair of earrings from Yun Wenshu's death scene is the person related to the murderer, and even the murderer himself!
If it is determined that it is related to the Lin family, then you can immediately ask the teacher for the crime!
And the Wei family took out this pair of dragon ball earrings for auction, which was a plan to kill three birds with one stone.
First, test Chen Tianao's strength.
The people present are all wealthy families in Ancheng, if they can't even grab this pair of Dragon Ball earrings, then Chen Tianao is not qualified to cooperate with the Wei family on an equal footing.
Second, reveal the position of the Wei family.
Dare to take out this treasure that may be involved in the crimes of the Lin family publicly, indicating that the Wei family and the Lin family do not deal with each other, this is for Chen Tianao to see!
The Wei family has great energy, and they can find the handle of the Lin family, and they also have conflicts with the Lin family, this is the confidence and bargaining chips!
Third, a great favor.
This pair of earrings has a special meaning for Chen Tianao.
The Wei family took it out, although it was an auction, in fact, it was also to give Chen Tianao a chance to return the goods to the original owner, if the two parties cooperate in the future, this favor cannot be relied on.
Chen Tianao looked at Wei Jueye, who was sitting on the side of the stage greeting guests, smiling as if he was kind to others, and couldn't help but say secretly in his heart.
What a thousand-year-old fox!
This pair of earrings, I must take it off!
This is directly related to the fundamental purpose of his coming to Ancheng - revenge!
The auctioneer saw that everyone couldn't take their eyes off it, and smiled faintly.
"The auction price of this string of royal dragon balls starts at fifteen million! Price increase, one million times! ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
Fifteen million earrings!
This is not an ordinary luxury at all, it is simply hanging two luxury villas on your ears!
Many celebrities and ladies present showed deep unwillingness in their eyes.
Chen Tianao was about to quote the price directly to take down the earrings, when suddenly, a coquettish and arrogant voice came from outside the field.
"This earring, 50 million, I want Zhou Meier."
