Chapter 278: The Auction Begins

Qian Jiawan didn't know what Old Man Qian was calculating, but Old Man Qian was obviously immersed in his thoughts now, and he wouldn't notice himself for a while.

After being "confined" before, Qian Jiawan is now learning to be obedient, trying not to move or speak in front of Mr. Qian, so as not to be caught by Mr. Qian and taught a lesson.

The bodyguard who followed behind Old Man Qian saw it in his eyes and slowly shook his head.

If Qian Jiawan is angry, she still has a lot of value, so as long as she is not too out of line, Old Man Qian will not do anything to her.

But if Qian Jiawan messes things up, then even if Qian Jiawan doesn't move and doesn't say a word, there is still something wrong in Old Man Qian's heart.

Although this Miss Qian is the granddaughter of Mr. Qian, there are more granddaughters of Mr. Qian, even if there is one less, there can be many others to top.

In the final analysis, Qian Jiawan is a little smart, but in general she is still a little petty.

The captain of the bodyguard thought about it secretly, but he didn't mention Qian Jiawan.

He is the bodyguard of Mr. Qian, he can still distinguish this, what does a girl have to do with him?

……

Lu Shengyan and Jing Huai also got the news, they did not choose to go to a separate box, but sat in a semi-enclosed seat with the public.

This kind of semi-enclosed seating does not guarantee privacy, but it allows people to know who is bidding with them, so that they can decide whether to continue to hold up their cards.

This arrangement is also common.

The guests whispered to the people around them, and they were clearly interested in the auction.

Shen Xin's lips lost their blood, and he sat quietly next to Qin Huai, without saying a word, occasionally casting his gaze at Qin Huai, full of resentment and madness.

But she still didn't dare to directly do anything to Qin Huai, firstly, because she was still half a star now, and she had to pay attention to her reputation, and secondly, because of the Shen family and the Su family.

In the final analysis, the Shen family and the Su family are both Shen Xin's blood relatives, and they are just in a bad situation for a while, and they have bowed their heads and compromised in front of Qin Huai.

Since there is still the possibility of recovery, even though this may be very slim, Shen Xin is still unwilling to stifle the possibility of a better life for the two relatives.

She wore a pair of black silk gloves up to her elbows on her hands, and wrapped her beautifully shaped jade hands tightly in the black silk, and no one noticed anything unusual.

After a short time, the waiter and auctioneer were in place, and a woman in a dark green cheongsam walked gracefully to the front of the stage to show the guests the first collection of the day.

Lu Shengyan fixed his eyes and saw that on the white jade tray was a string of obsidian bracelets.

She shook her head, puzzled: "This obsidian bracelet is so beautiful, how can it be that it has been sold twice?" ”

Jing Huai also doesn't know much about the domestic jade market, but he knows that from the auctioneer, he will definitely come up with an answer.

The auction rules of Xuanshi are different from those of ordinary auction houses. Let's have a book

The average auction house always tries its best to beautify its auction items, and makes the auction items sell for as high a price as possible, and if there are any flaws, they will not be pointed out if they are not too fatal.

However, Xuan Shi will indicate the provenance of the auction items in the original form, and even the slightest flaws will be specially reminded.

If the item has a particularly lethal depreciation point, it will also be explained.

The industry has always been very good at Xuanshi's auctions, and therefore, although Xuanshi's auction volume is not the largest, it is the highest customer satisfaction rate, and the top collectors in China are also willing to come to Xuanshi's auction house to spend a lot of money without worries.

"This collection is a string of obsidian bracelets made by masters of the Republic of China, the selected obsidian is all from the same seed material, and each bead has a subtle difference, each bead is almost perfect spherical, and the surface is also engraved with ......, these patterns are in the ...... It has a special meaning. Therefore, this obsidian bracelet is the first lot in this auction and participates in the bidding. ”

The auctioneer on the stage knows how to mobilize the atmosphere of the audience, and the screen switches to the high-definition picture of this string of beads at this time, hoping to let the guests in the audience take a magnifying glass to carefully evaluate this bracelet.

But just as many of the female guests sat up straight, clearly interested in the bracelet, the auctioneer on the stage began to tell the story behind the collection.

The Republic of China has always been inseparable from turmoil, and this collection is no different.

The master who made this bracelet was coveted for a treasure, and finally broke into his house on a rainy night, and the whole family died, just for a few treasures that the master couldn't see.

The beads, black and dark, escaped in the shadows and were taken by a passing beggar.

The beggar took the beads to the pawn shop, and when he came out, he was beaten to death by several thugs because he had a lot of money.

The beads were dedicated to a warlord.

The warlord gave it to his cherished aunt, but unexpectedly, his aunt had a miscarriage while wearing this bracelet, and at the same time, the warlord was jointly denounced by several other warlords and finally killed himself.

The beads were used as trophies among several warlords, and briefly fell into the hands of other people, who had nothing in common, the only thing they had in common was that they had bad luck after getting the bracelet.

The legend of the beads spread farther and farther until it was picked up by an unbelieving collector.

However, the collector also survived by the few collections he had found in the antique market.

A friend persuaded him bitterly, and he gradually began to think that it was because of this string of beads, so he took it out for auction.

However, due to the high starting price, both auctions failed.

This is the third auction of this obsidian bracelet.

After saying this, seeing that the guests below were all excited, the auctioneer's voice changed, and said: "This string of beads has been verified by the top national laboratory, and specially invited the masters to open their eyes, saying that this is just an ordinary string of beads, and the ins and outs of this string of beads are no longer reliable, and it is unknown whether it is made up by predecessors." ”

"The owner of the bracelet is in a hurry to get rid of it, and there is no reserve price for this auction, no interval price, and the auction starts now."

The auctioneer ended his presentation neatly, then took a step back and let the obsidian bracelet reveal its mystery and magnificence under special lighting.

It may not be possible to describe a string of obsidian in terms of magnificence, but this string of beads is enough to bear the word, and the master carver skillfully uses light and shadow to give this string of obsidian a unique brilliance.

"A dollar."
