Chapter 195: Stealing Calligraphy and Paintings
After Jian Xi fell asleep, he didn't know that He Chengze had just seen this text message, and when he saw that the sender was Jian Xi, he was stunned for a few seconds, and then his heart was shrouded in huge sweetness, and Jian Xi finally took care of himself.
It's just that the content in it makes me scratch my head, pay attention to He Chengfeng? He Chengze recalled that the two of them had just met at a dinner at their home, how did they meet?
"Okay, I see, you have to protect yourself too."
He Chengze thought that Jian Xi should have found something strange and He Chengfeng had some strange behavior, so he said this, but after all, he was the son of the second uncle, and it was really strange not to make some small moves, but he was conscientious in the company these days, and the manager was very handy, and the employees at the bottom were full of praise for his comments.
Two days passed quickly, and Jian Xi specially checked the map and studied the method before proceeding, although he had been there once, but if it wasn't for He Chengze's help, he would have been caught.
The owner of the auction is not a soft persimmon, and he will definitely strengthen his vigilance and not let people take advantage of it.
Jian Xi put on clothes that were easy to move, glanced at the time and went out directly.
The old street is relatively remote, but fortunately Jianxi has been there, and when I get to the door, I need to show my pass as always, because I have been prepared, so Jianxi passed smoothly.
Now there is still a while before the auction time, at this time the supervision is the strictest, and I don't know where it will be taken out, after all, it will be played later, Jian Xi decided that after the auction, the items will be transported to the room first, and then trade with the person with the highest bidder, and at that time it is the best to do it.
Jian Xi chose a remote position in the back and sat down, brought a black cap to press down the brim to cover her face, she looked around, there were only a few people, and all of them were suits and leather shoes, it looked like they should all be wealthy people.
Jian Xi sat in his position and crossed his arms and looked at the people who came here, waiting for the appearance of the item.
There were more and more people, and after a while, there were already many people in front of Jian Xi. Looking at everyone's expectant faces, she was also curious, after all, she hadn't seen it before.
"Excuse me, are you also here to auction calligraphy and paintings today?" A man next to him suddenly asked Jian Xi.
Jian Xi shook his head, "No, my boss asked me to help him take a look here, I don't plan to bid." ”
The people around him seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, "There are too many opponents today, and I also helped my boss bid for it, I don't know if I can get it, after all, the collection significance of that antique calligraphy and painting is not generally high, and many old people like to collect this, you have to think about it, such a tall thing is placed at home, and there are many rows!" ”
The man said with relish, and Jian Xi also replied half-listenedly, but she didn't expect the man's next words to surprise her.
"I heard that the old man of the He family, you know, I like this calligraphy and painting the most, and it is estimated that it will be his 80th birthday in about ten days, such a big day, I feel that someone from the He family must come to bid, after all, it is so liked by the old man."
Jian Xi frowned, He Wei likes calligraphy and painting? He thought back to the villa, it was indeed very strong Chinese style, and the furnishings at home were also very quaint, Jian Xi thought of the two words he wrote on the wall, and he knew it in his heart.
"Are you sure that someone from the He family will come to bid?" Jian Xi finally turned around and asked the man, she had to figure it out, the He family knew her, and if there was anyone, she had to hide it so as not to be discovered.
"There is a ninety percent possibility, but I don't want the He family to come here, after all, if they come, there will definitely be no more business for us, and who else in Yongcheng is more wealthy than him!" The man looked envious.
“…… That's right, too. ”
Jian Xi replied absentmindedly, then took out a pair of sunglasses and a mask from his bag, dressed up, his clothes were also dark, just enough to hide in this corner, he shouldn't find it.
It was too late, and as soon as Jian Xi put on his sunglasses, he saw a tall and handsome man with a tall and handsome figure suddenly walk in at the door, with long legs and a long step, followed by Beiwu.
Jian Xi's heart was cold, he didn't like to encounter things about He Chengze when he was on a mission, he didn't expect that he still couldn't escape, if it was really what the man said, it was what Old Man He liked, then He Chengze would definitely be determined to win.
Fortunately, He Chengze still looked at his side, he and Beiwu sat directly in the first row, Jian Xi straightened up and looked at them, He Chengze turned his head and didn't know what to say to Beiwu.
"It's over, there is really no chance of winning this time, He Chengze is here, so how can I bid, he is definitely bound to win." The man next to him was crying and mourning, and the whole person drooped.
Jian Xi was silent, if it was really He Chengze's successful bid, then he might have to be careful.
As soon as the bell rang at eight o'clock, he saw a man in a long coat singing in, and then announced the start of the auction, Jian Xi obviously felt that the people around him were about to move.
"Alright, let's present our antique calligraphy and paintings!"
A table suddenly rose slowly on the stage, on which was a calligraphy and painting framed in a glass frame, Jian Xi sat behind it and actually didn't really see it very clearly, especially when the lights on the stage were on.
It's just that she heard the voices of admiration from the people around her, and many people stood up, looking at the calligraphy and painting, it seemed that they should be connoisseurs.
"Well, our calligraphy and painting don't need to be introduced, everyone should know that it is worth a lot of money, it is one of the best in the calligraphy and painting industry, there is only one in the world, there is no other, our starting price is one million."
As soon as this price was said, the whole field was silent, everyone looked at each other, and after a few seconds, the field was boiling, "Why is the starting price so high!" ”
The host looked disdainful on it, "I said sir, I don't need to say more about this collection value is so high, you should have done your homework when you came, this treasure is more than this price, and if you don't have money, why bother bidding!" ”
The man was red-faced by him, and he didn't dare to say a word, and the people around him also quieted down because of this little episode, and they didn't continue to disagree.
"Okay, now if someone can't afford it, they can just leave, and the auction starts now!"
As soon as the hammer struck, everyone on the field became excited.
"I'll give a million!"
A male voice directly called out the reserve price, and Jian Xi obviously felt that the host was a little disdainful.
"One and a half million!"
"One million six million!"
"Two million!"
……
The auction has been going on, and Jian Xi's eyes have been following He Chengze, who is wearing a black suit today, clasping his hands on his knees, leaning back, and staring ahead.
It's just that Jian Xi suddenly saw his body move, and his whole body ...... backwards No, look back!
Jian Xi squatted down, lowered his head, and blocked it with the body of the man in front of him. He Chengze did feel a little strange today, he always felt that someone on the field was watching him, but he didn't look around, he did it again
Jian Xi got up after a while, and saw that He Chengze maintained his original sitting posture, so he was relieved, but why didn't he raise the sign all the time, did he have to wait for the last trump card?
"Five million!"
Now the bidding price has increased fivefold, and Jian Xi saw that the people on the field were obviously weakened, and he was probably frightened by the price.
"Alright, five million for the first time, five million for the second time!"
"Ten million!"
As soon as this voice came out, everyone was looking at who was so rich, but it seemed that everyone didn't know each other, but when they saw the person sitting next to them, they all suddenly realized, it turned out to be He Chengze, no wonder!
Jian Xi guessed correctly, and sure enough, it was He Chengze in the end.
"10 million for the first time, 10 million for the second time, 10 million for the ......"
"Twenty million!"
At this time, a person suddenly walked in from the door, strutting with a smile, and then walked to He Chengze and sat down, "I'll bid two million!" ”
"Brother, what a coincidence!"
He Chengze's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the man in front of him coldly, he pinched the time very accurately, and just intervened just when he was about to succeed, it seemed that he was prepared.
Jian Xi looked at He Chengfeng who came and was stunned for a moment, how could it be him? Why did he come here to bid with He Chengze, was it also to give gifts to Old Man He?
But I don't know if He Chengze will continue or not.
The people on the scene were just as anxious as the host, looking at the two people as if they were watching a good show, and secretly gossiping, after all, He Chengfeng had just returned to China, and everyone didn't know about him.
But it is rare to dare to openly provoke He Chengze.
The host's face showed a look of seeing the God of Wealth, and there was another wronged man, and he eagerly wanted He Chengze to continue.
"20 million for the first time, 20 million for the second time, 20 million ......"
Beiwu listened to the voice, and the whole person became anxious, and just wanted to raise the sign, but was pressed by He Chengze.
"Twenty million for the third time!"
The auction is over!
Jian Xi was a little surprised that He Chengze actually let go of this thing, and thought that he was determined to get it, could it be that he deliberately gave it to He Chengfeng, but why? The relationship between the two of them is not very good!
Jian Xi saw that after the auction, the calligraphy and painting was slowly taken into the back room by a group of people, Jian Xi looked around, sorted out his clothes, and then left secretly, this time it doesn't matter, he must succeed!
And He Chengze and Beiwu were about to leave after seeing the end, who knew that they were pulled by He Chengfeng, "Brother, thank you, grandpa is about to have a birthday, and I also want this to give him a gift!" ”
