"What's the matter, isn't this an auction venue?" the eldest lady glanced at Lin Tian and said.
"It's not quite like it, it's a bit like an ancient restaurant. Lin Tian said truthfully.
The building in front is not tall, only three or four floors, but it is the same as the overall environment of Tianfu Restaurant, it is an ancient building.
"The style of the restaurant was originally set by my grandfather, so no matter how many branches are opened, the decoration style is almost the same. Xiao Manxue explained.
The whole Tianfu Restaurant covers a large area, divided into different areas according to different functions, although it is a restaurant, it is comprehensive, can hold banquets, can hold ceremonies.
Of course, the land in Kyoto City is not as expensive as in China, and Tianfu Restaurant is not close to the city center, so the Xiao family can get such a large area of land to build a restaurant.
There were waiters at the gate of the ancient building, and when they saw Mrs. Xiao appearing, they all nodded and saluted. When you enter the hall, the layout inside is different from that of a common auction venue.
The average auction venue is a hall with display screens, auction tables, and rows of stools underneath, which is not much different from a large conference hall.
However, the auction hall of Tianfu Restaurant has two floors, the first floor is the hall, and the auction table is set in the middle, surrounded by a staggered arrangement of mahogany seats.
On the upper floor is a cloister, which also circumnavigates the hall, with stairs on either side. There are seats in the cloister at intervals, but there are far fewer than on the first floor.
According to the tradition of the Chinese people, there is a saying for distinguished guests to "take a seat, please take a seat", no need to guess, Lin Tian knows that these seats are the so-called elegant seats, which are specially for people with high status.
There is a door at the back of the private seat, presumably inside is the private room, and the treatment is several levels higher than the collective seat below.
Of course, there is an advantage to setting up the auction hall in this way, you can sit on it, and you are always embarrassed to be stingy during the auction, and rich people always want to save face, otherwise they will not sit in that elegant seat.
When Lin Tian was observing the layout of the auction venue, several people walked in at the door, it was Zhou Botong's family, and Zhou Lao was also there.
Mrs. Xiao greeted her and said with a smile: "Master Zhou, you are the earliest, it seems that you can't wait to see the jadeite that is about to be auctioned." ”
"Yes, that's what I'm interested in, but you're keeping the jadeite you try a secret, and I'm looking forward to it. Especially the best jadeite won by Brother Lin at the Gambling Stone Festival, I would like to know which one you use to make a jade carving for auction. Zhou Lao said with a smile.
Lin Tian was also very ashamed, the jade was marked by himself, and he was also a shareholder of Tianxue Jewelry, so he didn't know what the eldest lady would put up for auction.
He was speechless to himself, and it was unique for him to do this to this extent.
When Mrs. Xiao saw that Lin Tian didn't speak, she thought he was embarrassed, but she didn't care, and said with a smile: "Lin Tian, you and Zhou Botong are just looking down there, and I'll accompany Zhou Lao and them up." ”
The mother and daughter of the Xiao family led Zhou Lao and a few people up, but the strange thing was that Xiao Manxuan didn't follow and stood still, and what was even more strange was that Mrs. Xiao and the eldest lady didn't call her.
"Second Miss, do you want to play with us below, why don't you go up?" Lin Tian said strangely.
"It's a private seat above, and we juniors can't go up casually, even if we go up, we can only stand, it's too boring. Xiao Manxuan pouted and said very dissatisfied.
"Oh, I see, I'm still a student, and I don't seem to be qualified to go up. Lin Tian smiled self-deprecatingly, but his tone was very indifferent.
He has always believed in making a fortune with a muffled voice, even if he sits on it, what can he do, his personal strength does not need these faces to support.
"Brother Lin, as a prominent figure in the jade and jade world, you still have the qualifications to go up and sit, but in terms of substance, we young people are indeed much worse than those old guys from big conglomerates and big families. However, everyone has a generation gap, even if I go up and sit, I won't go, it's boring. Zhou Botong shook his head and said.
Zhou Botong has a funny personality, and it is really difficult for him to sit with some serious middle-aged people or old men. In fact, with the status of the Zhou family, they are not qualified to sit on it, and the Zhou family is just a businessman who is biased to one side.
Even if their relationship with the Xiao family is well developed, it will not work, because this is a rule that has been formed for a long time, and Mrs. Xiao cannot change it at will, otherwise the Xiao family itself will become the target of public criticism.
But today the Zhou family can have a seat on it, one is because Zhou Botong has a stake in Tianxue Jewelry, and his stake means that the Zhou family is also one of the hosts, and the host can certainly sit on it.
Another reason is also very important, that is, Zhou Lao's status in the jade and jade world is a master-level figure, and of course there will be his seat on the elegant seat.
Lin Tian was very aware of these situations, but in his eyes, this was just a mortal game. As an immortal zombie, he felt like he was standing on top of the nine heavens and looking down, and he really didn't feel much about the rules of their game.
He suddenly had a feeling of loneliness, which was amazing, but he then secretly scolded himself, damn, Lao Tzu is only eighteen years old, how can he make his mental age look like an old guy, which is contrary to Lao Tzu's consistent self-proclaimed chic and uninhibited.
Xiao Manxuan saw that Lin Tian didn't speak, and thought that he was unhappy, and had an opinion on his mother's arrangement, so he couldn't help but say: "Lin Tian, what's wrong with you?" Actually, my mother has her reason for arranging like this, the young people in the hall are not the ones who can make people worry, and my mother knows that only your ability can deter them and prevent them from making trouble at the auction." ”
"Second Miss, where do you want to go, how can I care about a position, I just suddenly had a feeling of loneliness, this feeling flashed in my mind, it was amazing. Lin Tian smiled slightly.
"Lonely?" Xiao Manxuan was stunned and said strangely, not understanding how he could suddenly feel this way.
"Yes, Brother Lin, if you are empty, lonely and cold, brother, I can accompany you, as long as I don't promise to do anything with you. Zhou Botong said with a teasing expression.
"Cut, you don't know what loneliness is, it's amazing, loneliness is the king's honorific title for himself, so loneliness is the king, loneliness is uniqueness, loneliness is the unique king. The king stood in the void, otherworldly, a state of calm and harmony, not what you said about emptiness, loneliness and coldness!" Lin Tian looked at him with disdain and said dissatisfied.
"Papapa......" A few rhythmic applause came from the door, Lin Tian turned his head and saw that it was Ou Qinglan, Ou Qinglan, her two personal female guards and Ou Mengmeng.
Next to her, there were three other people, Yun Xiaotian and his "housekeeper" old man, and the other one was an old man, Lin Tian didn't know him, and several of them looked at Lin Tian with different expressions.
