Chapter 96 Rules of the Game
But this little doubt did not affect the conduct of the auction, let alone Lin Zhunuan's mood.
Although the scene just now was really disgusting, she was still very happy because she got the crown for free.
"Xiao Nuan, this crown is really suitable for you."
Qin An brought a crown to Lin Zhunuan, and her luxurious style was opposite to her simple dress, which was not the same style at all.
But even so, the tiara perfectly reflects her elegant temperament.
"I'm going to keep it for my mother."
Lin Zhunuan was very happy with Qin An's praise, but she did not forget her original intention, took off the jewelry on her head, held it in her arms, and planned to go out to buy a gift box tomorrow.
In the middle of the auction, the old man who was sitting next to him stood up and said to them, "Well, it's almost time, it's time for me to go." ”
"This is leaving?" Lin Zhunuan asked.
So far, she hadn't seen him show the slightest interest in anything on the field, and it was strange that he was wasting his time like that.
"yes, I want to work." The old man sighed helplessly, and there seemed to be a trace of unpleasant exhaustion hidden between his words.
"Old man, you want to go to work? This o'clock? ”
It's no wonder that Qin An thinks he's joking, take 10,000 steps back, even if there is work that starts at eleven o'clock in the evening, do you need him to play in person?
Lin Zhunuan knew that the identity of the old man was not simple, and it was an excuse when he heard this, but he accepted it very well, "Let's go." ”
The tone was natural, as if he was talking to a friend, and he didn't have any respect for the older generation, but he wouldn't care much about it, "Got it, you guys have fun." ”
After he left, there was silence between the two.
Lin Zhunuan concentrated on conquering every level of Plants vs. Zombies, while Qin An quietly admired all the auction items, watching the buyers fight for those objects, but fortunately, no matter how fierce it was, they didn't do what Li Weilong did.
Soon, the last auction item in the booklet was sold, and Yafei had the box containing the rosewood bracelet taken out again.
As she opened the small box, she said unhurriedly, "Now, it's also time to auction this rosewood bracelet." ”
Seeing that the main event was coming, Qin An poked Lin Zhunuan, who was focused on the game, and she immediately put away her mobile phone.
"Third Master Qi said that only people who buy specific items are eligible to bid for red sandalwood bracelets, and now that our auction is almost over, it's time to reveal the mystery."
All the people who bought things, except for Lin Zhunuan, all focused their attention on Yafei, waiting for her to give an answer.
"Now there are people who please echo Qi Sanye's request and come to the stage to bid. What Qi Sanye fancied was ......" Yafei deliberately dragged out his voice, and was satisfied to see that everyone couldn't hold it back, with an excited look, and slowly said what Qi Sanye wanted: "Crown, jewelry box and Hermes's cane." ”
As soon as her voice fell, two people in the crowd got up in an instant and immediately went on stage, but Lin Zhunuan was the only one who showed off to Qin An before he was willing to leave.
"Xiao An, look, I'll just say that my guess is right, and you still don't believe it." She has a high face, an invincible appearance, and a stubbornness unique to children, which makes Qin An feel funny, "Yes, yes, Xiao Nuan is the best." ”
"Hee-hee, would you like to consider giving me a reward?" Lin Zhunuan suddenly approached Qin An's face and said with an ambiguous expression.
Qin An didn't react to the meaning of the reward she wanted for a moment, and said very seriously: "What reward do you want?" ”
Lin Zhunuan looked at him with an upright face, and he didn't want to be crooked at all, pursed his lips, and said lazily: "Forget it, there is nothing special to want." ”
Seeing her somewhat unhappy look, Qin An wanted to say something more, but as soon as he saw that the eyes of everyone around him were focused on the two of them, several people on the stage couldn't wait for Lin Zhunuan, so they almost came up to pull her, he just had to dispel this idea and prepare to go back and say, "You go to the stage first, everyone is waiting for you." ”
Hearing his words, Lin Zhunuan didn't say much, reluctantly kissed him lightly on the head, and then threw down the sentence "I'll be back soon", and then left.
After realizing what was happening, Qin An's face turned red, and seeing that other people's eyes had not yet been taken away, he picked up the booklet in his hand and covered his face that was red and ripe tomatoes, and for some reason, in his heart, in addition to endless embarrassment, there was also a trace of joy that he had ignored.
Lin Zhunuan came to the stage, glanced at the other two, and obediently stood on the side with them.
The buyers of the jewelry box and Hermes cane were a middle-aged greasy uncle and a good-looking woman, respectively.
The greasy uncle was wearing a high-end suit, holding a jewelry box, and his eyes were greedily looking at the string of rosewood bracelets, full of profiteers.
The woman was the opposite, Hermes's cane was well held in her hand, and she looked noble and decent in an elegant and generous dress.
There was arrogance and indifference between the eyebrows.
If you want to say that there is a difference between Lin Zhunuan and them, in addition to age and momentum, the most obvious thing should be the dress.
While everyone else was wearing a formal suit, she was wearing a casual sweatshirt and sweatpants, and a pair of white canvas shoes, which were the most common at the moment, were as ordinary as they were, except for the face, which was extremely cute, and the rest were exactly the same as the junior high school students on the street.
"Alright, now the pre-selected people are all here." Yafei coughed lightly, in addition to the original sweetness, there was a different coldness in her voice, which was surprising, "I think everyone knows the rules of Qi Sanye, a game is a game, and those who break the rules will not be able to enter this auction house again for the rest of their lives, this rule, everyone knows it, right?" ”
All three nodded, their expressions extremely serious.
"Alright, I'll tell you the rules of the auction now." Yafei took out a piece of paper from under the box of the bracelet, and read it slowly but clearly: "Each person can only quote the price once, and you have to explain the reason for the price and what makes this bracelet unique." The price of the bracelet must be equal to the object you are holding. ”
The rules sound simple, but if you really want to say it, it's hard to understand.
First of all, the fact that each person can only pay the price once is understandable to everyone, which means that it is not allowed to raise the price, after all, this is Qi Sanye's thing, Qi Sanye is not bad for money, he is here to find people who need it, not to make money.
What's more, with Qi Sanye's worth, he doesn't need to earn such a little money.
As for the point of explaining the price, it made everyone embarrassed for a while, but it was not an impossible problem.
Seeing people talking about people, talking about ghosts, and talking about ghosts, after being in society for so long, it is still possible to make up a few words.
The problem lies in the last part.
What does it mean that the price of the bracelet should be equal to the object in their hand?
The three, you look at me, I look at you, and none of them will take the first step.
Of course, Lin Zhunuan is not the same as the other two, she doesn't want to stand up and say it, purely because she wants to watch the play for a while.
"Three, the auction house is also going to close." Yafei stood in place for a long time, seeing that none of them had any intention of talking, the smile on her face stiffened, she worked here, standing here and laughing every day, she should have said that she was used to this kind of thing for a long time, but usually no one let her giggle in the face of three dumb guys.
Seeing that the three of them were still silent, she calmed down a little, and then said to them: "Everyone understands the rules of the auction house, things are for auction, not for exhibition, so if the three of them don't buy it again, this thing should be taken off the shelves." ”
These almost threatening words made the two of them say their prices at the same time.
"I'll give 200,000."
"I'll give a million."
After the two finished speaking, they glared at each other, and the smell of gunpowder between the two was strong, and it was about to explode, but the woman sneered and said arrogantly: "That's it, let this gentleman explain why it is a million." ”
"Hmph, thank you so much." The mellow man put away his cruel gaze, pretended to smile kindly, and then said, "Naturally, it's because of the background of this bracelet." The Empress's bracelet fell into the world because of the poisonous hands of thieves, but even so it is still preserved to this day, so beautiful, so complete, it is simply a miracle in the world, so I think such a thing is worth a million. ”
He gave the reason in a big way, but the woman didn't believe him at all, and sneered: "According to your statement, why don't you pay 10 million?" ”
The man's face was slightly displeased, but he still pretended to be friendly and said, "Of course, it's because of the third rule, you can't exceed the price of what I bought, isn't it?" ”
"I see." The woman smiled inexplicably, then remained silent.
The fat man was very upset by her attitude, turned his head and asked Yafei, "How is it, when will Third Master Qi receive me?" ”
His eyes were full of anticipation, as if he already knew that he was going to win, and he didn't need to confirm that he had passed the test.
Yafei shook his head and said politely, "This gentleman, please wait a moment, there are two other people who haven't spoken yet." ”
When the man heard this, he frowned, and was about to say something, when he was interrupted by the good-looking woman.
"That's right, we haven't made an offer yet, so it's also a bid, of course, it's the most suitable price."
The woman pushed her black thick-framed eyes, and said seriously: "The reason why I paid 200,000 yuan is that this bracelet is not a product of the Tang Dynasty, but its craftsmanship is definitely worth a fairly high price, so I think 200,000 yuan is very suitable, just like the cane in my hand, it is at a price." ”
She said it very reasonably, but everyone's attention was not on her, but on her side, Lin Zhunuan, who had not yet spoken.
What Lin Zhunuan did just now, everyone remembers it vividly, but she is only a teenager, but she is so skillful, even when it comes to Li Weilong's task that everyone usually detours, she is not flustered, and now she has to face the test of Qi Sanye, and everyone is curious about what she will do.
"I think so." After listening to the woman, Lin Zhunuan unhurriedly began to say his feelings and price, "That bracelet should be, worthless." ”
As soon as these words came out, the audience was silent.
Everyone stared at the thin and petite body on the stage, feeling incredulous at what they had just heard.
What did this little girl say just now? That bracelet is worthless?
Don't say what others think, even Qin An was a little skeptical, but as soon as he thought that the person who said this was Lin Zhunuan, he shook his head again, throwing his distrust out of his mind, how could he doubt Lin Zhunuan?
"Little sister, are you sure?" Yafei looked surprised, looking at Lin Zhunuan's eyes full of incredulity.
The treasures she has seen in her life, not thousands, but hundreds, no matter how she looks at it, she doesn't think this thing is worthless, but she can't directly say that Lin Zhunuan is wrong, after all, it is Lin Zhunuan's choice, and she has no right to interfere.
"I'm sure, because as the aunt said just now, this is a modern craft, and if you evaluate it as an antique, it must be worthless. If it's worthless, it's worthless. Lin Zhunuan blinked, looking innocent and harmless, but the words he said made people doubt his cognition.
Yafei thought about it, it was indeed true, but she seemed to have forgotten a very important thing, "But according to the value of the craft, the value of such a thing is definitely not low." ”
"You're right." When Lin Zhunuan heard this, he looked depressed, and his tone was very helpless, "But this thing of mine is given by that kind of person for free, so naturally it is not worth a penny." ”
When he said this, he was obviously scolding the Li family, but when others heard it, not only did they not think she was bad, but they also thought she was doing a good job.
That's what they've always wanted to do.
The Li family is quite powerful in the capital, no matter what they say about them, they are all behind their backs, and they don't dare to say anything bad about them in front of them, let alone say bad things about them in public.
It's just too much of a pleasure.
Just when everyone's attention was divided, Lin Zhunuan slipped to the side of the bracelet, picked up the bracelet, and said in a heartfelt voice: "In view of the worthlessness of my crown, this bracelet cannot be valuable, but I can't change the market price, so I can only use some relatively low-level methods to make the price of these two things consistent." ”
With that, she threw the bracelet to the ground and rubbed it against the ground.
Suddenly, the audience was dumbfounded.
From the stage to the stage, everyone stared at her, watching her step on that thing quite rhythmically, and all fell into a state of stupor.
The first to react was Yafei, she rushed forward, pulled Lin Zhunuan away, and stopped her from making further moves, but it was too late, I don't know how Lin Zhunuan did it, the mini statues of red sandalwood were all unrecognizable.
