Chapter 163: Can't Bid a Price

Finally, the bidding location for the glass palace lamp was set in the lobby on the first floor of the Juxian Pavilion Restaurant.

In order not to affect the business of the restaurant, the time is set at the 27th day of the first month, and it starts on time.

Shao Yi and Zhan Qi came to Juxian Pavilion Restaurant half an hour early.

Although Juxian Pavilion Restaurant did not accept breakfast guests on this day, Shopkeeper Kang still prepared breakfast for Shao Yi and others for the sake of insurance, and entertained a few people.

Although when they came out, they had already put some food at home, but the breakfast was hearty, and several people happily ate it again.

After that, I came to a table in the corner of the lobby of the restaurant and sat down.

It is said to be a corner, but it is actually located on the side of the auction host, and the angle of view is quite good, facing more than 30 tables participating in the bidding.

During the auction process, you can see all kinds of people's expressions and movements.

Shao Yi's role as a door god was very obvious, and more than a quarter of an hour ago, people began to enter the lobby of Juxian Pavilion one after another.

Although those who are interested in buying glazed palace lamps are rich and noble families, the masters of the rich and noble families obviously cannot surrender their identities and come here to participate in this kind of activity.

Therefore, those who come to make decisions are all face-saving stewards or housekeepers in various provinces.

Originally, when these people entered the door, they were still holding their heads up and holding their chests up, but when they stepped in, when they saw Shao Yi, their faces changed, and their momentum immediately fell.

Coming in one counts as one, without exception.

The aggrieved but can't have a seizure look of these people makes Zhan Qi very happy.

Ding Bochang laughed in a low voice: "Cheng'an, it's very easy for you to earn half of your shares, it seems that the woman of the Xia family promised you to participate in the shares, so that's the case." ”

Shao Yi glared at him, but he was not annoyed, but his face turned pale.

This kid is jealous that he has strength, if he wasn't famous, how could Ah Can take the initiative to find him a shareholder and take the initiative to give him such benefits?

The auction was a bit unconventional, and it didn't look very serious.

Bidders sit behind the corresponding table according to the predetermined position.

The guys in the restaurant were also hired by Qingyun Zhai, constantly shuttling through the lobby, serving tea and dried fruits to the bidders.

The environment looks pretty good, but the actual atmosphere is really not very good.

Those who participated in the bidding were not only powerful families, but also some of them were obviously businessmen.

In the face of so many high-ranking officials and powerful families, these people have very ugly faces.

This situation is very unfavorable for them, when the price rises to a certain extent, if the people of the powerful family speak out, even if they have silver, where dare to raise the price to buy?

Ding Bochang first saw the eyebrow lawsuit between these people, and said to Shao Yi with a smile: "I see, these palace lamps of yours may not be the ones with the highest price, and they may not be sold at a good price." ”

As he spoke, he pointed to an old man in the second row of seats and said, "That is the father-in-law who is the commander of the inner guards, and the one behind him is the housekeeper of Young Master Lan's mansion. If they push the price down to a certain extent, they are afraid that even if someone wants to buy it with silver, they will not dare. ”

Shao Yi groaned and didn't speak, not only Ding Bochang saw this situation, but he also saw it.

Thinking about Ah Can's intelligence, she shouldn't ignore this situation, I don't know how she will deal with it?

Soon it was time to arrive, and the bidders were all in place.

Directly in front of the lobby of the restaurant against the wall, a platform more than half a foot high was temporarily erected, on which were placed two square tables with thick red velvet to form a hosting platform.

Two indigo curtains were pulled up on the back wall as a background, giving the bidding host a different solemnity from the audience.

The person who presided over the bidding was a tooth man hired by Qingyunzhai.

The tooth man came to the stage with a smile on his face, first said a few words, and then began to introduce the bidding items and bidding rules.

The bidding items are three pairs of glass palace lamps and three pairs of glass wall lamps.

As soon as I heard that in addition to the three pairs of palace lamps, there were three other pairs of wall lamps, and a whisper sounded when I lifted it down.

The merchants were overjoyed, and these arrogant stewards were obviously ordered by their masters to buy palace lamps. There are so many wall lamps that are probably not in their bidding plan.

In other words, they didn't come in vain this time, and they were able to buy some things back.

After the initial astonishment, the stewards of the various houses beckoned to their own attendants in the rear, whispered, and told them to go back and ask the lord what he meant.

On the table, the tooth man continued to introduce the rules: the amount of the bid, the interval time, how to deliver, and so on.

What is surprising is that the tooth man finally solemnly reminded: "This thing may not maintain its value, everyone should be cautious about bidding and buying." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned and looked at the shopkeeper Kang beside the tooth man. Seeing that his face was calm, he was not at all displeased that this sentence would affect the bidding price.

Obviously, this is not a sudden speech from the tooth man himself, but arranged by Qingyun Zhai.

Everyone in the audience whispered again, and Zhan Qi was also surprised, and asked Shao Yi, "What's the matter?" Isn't this bid for a high price, why did you suddenly say such a thing? ”

Isn't this stopping everyone from raising the price?

Shao Yi was also a little puzzled, could it be that Ah Can was really just to sell the lantern, the price or something, she didn't care?

On the stage, the tooth man's explanation was completed, and the first auction item was picked up by two guys.

The presiding platform is wide, and two palace lamps are placed, and there is still room for space.

Shopkeeper Kang took a small man and lit the candles in the palace lamp.

Although it was daytime, as soon as the candle was lit, the golden peony in the middle of the glass and the glass immediately flashed with brilliant brilliance, and the wall behind it was a deep indigo blue, which further set off the extraordinary glass palace lamp.

This tooth tongue is really good, while turning the palace lamp, so that everyone can see the colors of all sides of the palace lamp, and at the same time, it is extremely beautiful, describing the bidding items.

Zhan Qi and the others are going to be stunned and stunned, this ability to fool people is amazing.

Listening to his words, even the rough people of them wanted to rush up and buy the things with all their money.

"Where did you find such a strange thing?" Zhan Qi asked Shao Yi.

Shao Yi spread his hands, "Where do I know." "He was invited to post here as a door god, and he doesn't know anything about it.

Ding Bochang sighed twice, "I don't know who planned this, if it is the daughter of the Xia family, this woman is very powerful, she knows how to find such a clever tooth person to fool people." ”

Then the bidding began, with a starting price of 1,000 taels and 10 taels of silver.

The starting price is not high, and the price increase is not high every time, so there has never been a way to buy, you come and go, and the scene is gradually becoming warmer.

Zhan Qi rubbed his hands and said regretfully: "I didn't know that the bidding would be so grand earlier, if I had known, I would have gone to Qingyunzhai a few days earlier to register and call a few voices." ”

However, such a warm scene, I don't know how many times the price was called, and the bidding was only 2,000 taels.

On the stage, the tooth man's face was as usual, although he was still setting off the atmosphere, but he was not in a hurry. He is employed by people, the bid is higher, and his commission can be higher, but the price really can't go up, and his reserve is not affected.

Shopkeeper Kang was different, his expression was solemn, and his brows gradually wrinkled. Two thousand taels is really a bit less. The person who came to inquire before, someone had already bid 5,000 taels.
