Chapter 47 Auction
Wen Biquan and his entourage returned to the auction site, and now there are many people in the auction seats and the audience seats. No one was loud, they were all whispering to each other gracefully and politely. Some people still hold the auction process leaflet and the lot brochure in their hands, watching repeatedly and quietly, waiting for the opening.
Wen Biquan found the best position for himself and his family, which is the middle position of the second row facing the auction table, which is quite right, and can easily see the lot in the auctioneer's hand. Father Wen, Mother Wen and He Wanwan sat on either side of her.
Wen Biquan inserted the auction card in his hand into the quotation machine, and then the seat transmitted the positioning information and the information in the card back to the corresponding display screen on the ring auction table.
Wen's father, Wen's mother, and He Wanwan also inserted the blank entry card into the quotation device of their seats. Because it is a blank entry card, the information display is blank, but it means that the seat has been used. This situation can only show that this is a VIP card.
There are staff members on the ring auction table who are busy receiving this information, sorting, recording, printing, forming a complete customer profile, and distributing it to the corresponding staff in each sector.
There are also many staff members who are sorting out and debugging the amplification equipment and wiring, and adjusting the angle of the searchlight on the top of the shooting table.
Wen Biquan and He Wanwan took advantage of the fact that the auction had not yet started and went to the bathroom. He Wanwan was a little curious and asked, "If there is a lot that you like and want to buy at the auction for a while, do you really want to participate in the bidding?" ”
"Of course, don't miss it! Look, I'll hold on! Wen Biquan raised his eyebrows, and before he could exhale, he added: "Of course, it also depends on financial resources, it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice!" ”
He Wanwan shook her head and said with a smile: "You are still rich!" I'm optimistic about you, let's have fun! ”
"Lend you good words!" Wen Biquan also smiled and patted his best friend's shoulder, "It must have opened your eyes!" ”
The two returned to their seats and sat down again, Wen Biquan's left was He Wanwan, on the right was his mother Yang Wanqing, and Concubine Zhen was standing behind Wen Biquan.
Wen Biquan called Man Man out again, Man Man looked like a little naughty boy, jumping in Wen Biquan's eyes, lively, active, excited, and very angry with Wen Biquan. Wen Biquan gave a thumbs up in his heart.
When the clock hand pointed to 10:00, the lights of the whole room suddenly dimmed, the display screen of the bidder on the auction chair lit up, and the spotlight on the top of the circular auction table suddenly lit up, and a capable young man wearing a black professional suit, with a small head, appeared in the spotlight, he was the chief auctioneer of today's auction.
The auctioneer held a microphone and greeted all the ladies and guests in his deep voice.
On behalf of Mr. Bao Qianqian, the legal person of Longxiang Auction House, I would like to extend a warm welcome and heartfelt wishes to the ladies and gentlemen who came to this auction, and wish you to feel at home, embark on a journey to realize your dreams, and auction your heart's wishes here, and complete your dreams! ……”
The auctioneer's voice continued, he first read out the auction rules, introduced the types and quantities of auctions, and especially reminded that there was a final finale lot that was not included in the auction book, put forward the precautions for this auction, and finally officially ushered in the opening of the first lot.
When the models dressed in festive Chinese red evening dresses held red trays and carried precious lots from behind the curtain along the catwalk to the circular auction stand, the audience burst into warm applause.
The auctioneer's voice rang out just in time to introduce the name, date and provenance of the first lot that was brought out from behind the scenes.
This is a painting from the Republican period.
The model lady slowly took the lot around the periphery of the circular auction table, and finally placed the lot under the projector in the center of the auction table, and clearly displayed the lot in front of the bidders again through the large screen.
The auctioneer continues to use his powerful voice to explain the content of the painting, the painting techniques used by the painter, the techniques and techniques used, and its collectible value.
Finally, the auctioneer quotes the reserve price of the lot and the bidder's bid markup, and the bidding begins.
Bidders who want to bid at the auction table can quote their bid price through their own seats, manually enter the price and press the OK button, and the auctioneer can see and read out the bidder's number and the quoted price from the display screen of each sector on the circular auction table for the first time.
Since the bidders who attended the auction saw and got up close and personal with the lots through the preview three days ago, each bidder had a good idea of what was being auctioned today.
The first painting was not very popular and sold for 3,000 yuan above the reserve price.
When the auctioneer dropped the third gavel to confirm the successful auction, the staff in red professional clothes waiting in each sector immediately took out the "Auction Transaction Confirmation" of the item and handed it to the newly selected purchaser to sign on the spot.
The whole process is quiet, peaceful, fast and smooth, everything is in order, chaotic but not chaotic.
Wen Biquan couldn't help but secretly admire, this is much more civilized, modern, and high-end than holding cards, but it lacks the liveliness and passion of the rush to buy culture.
Wen Biquan was looking around curiously, when he saw Concubine Zhen behind him transmitting to her: "Wen Biquan, I have found the target person I am looking for, can I go over and investigate it myself?" ”
"What? Who are you looking for? Who? The reincarnation of Cixi? Can it be so coincidental? Wen Biquan was shocked, and when he saw Concubine Zhen frowning and nodding nervously, he hurriedly comforted and said, "Hurry up and take a look, confirm it, don't make a mistake!" Everything is fine! Just be careful! I'm here waiting for your reply! ”
Concubine Zhen agreed and left quietly.
The auction continues, and now it is the fifth lot, and there are still no lots that Wen Biquan is excited about, and there are still no items that are full of energy.
When the ninth lot reached the auction, there was a small climax, with many bidders bidding and the auction price rising all the way to a price of 5,000 yuan above the reserve price.
When Concubine Zhen came to her target, she had already determined through her own unique secret method that she was the reincarnation of the Cixi she was looking for. Watching her bid for the ninth lot, Concubine Zhen also got the information she wanted from the auctioneer's circular auction table: her name was Liu Dongci, bidder No. 127.
Although the specific information will have to be found through another query, there are already good clues.
Concubine Zhen immediately returned to Wen Biquan's side to report the situation, and Wen Biquan made a decisive decision: let Concubine Zhen immediately follow Liu Dongci throughout the whole process and never give up! Until other important information such as a specific address is found.
Wen Biquan exchanged his smartphone for Concubine Zhen, and did stealth processing with the reading pen and handed it to Concubine Zhen, Concubine Zhen was very moved!
Wen Biquan comforted: "Your safety is very important, I want you to be flexible and witty to deal with everything, I originally wanted to earn the first pot of gold through the auction and buy you a smartphone, but now it seems too late, just use mine!" If there is any news to be sent back in time, pay attention to hide yourself and protect yourself! ”
