Chapter 37: Qin Yu

"Don't talk nonsense, quickly check where their media conference is held, we can prepare!"

The person sitting in the back row interrupted his complaint impatiently, and as the minutes passed, the sun was getting closer and closer, and he had no patience.

"They're going to the World Trade Tower!"

"We'll do it right there!"

......

At half past nine, the auction finally began.

The auctioneer walked up to the stage, looked at the people wearing various masks below, took a deep breath, and said, "Welcome to this auction...... Now I declare the auction officially open!"

After a bunch of nonsense, the auctioneer began to introduce the first auction item, "The first thing to auction is a painting by Zheng Banqiao, this painting is called "Qingguang Lingering Picture".

Zheng Banqiao (1693-1765), formerly known as Zheng Xie, the word Kerou, the name Li'an, also known as Banqiao, known as Mr. Banqiao, was a native of Xinghua, Jiangsu, and his ancestral home was Suzhou. Kangxi Xiucai, Yongzheng ten years of people, the first year of Qianlong (1736) Jinshi. Guanshan East F County, Weixian County Order, remarkable political achievements, after living in Yangzhou, to sell paintings for a living, for the "Yangzhou Eight Strange" important representatives.

Zheng Banqiao only painted orchids, bamboos, and stones throughout his life, and called himself "the orchid that is not thanked at four times, the bamboo that is evergreen in a hundred sections, the stone that is invincible through the ages, and the person who remains unchanged for thousands of years".

His poems, calligraphy and paintings, known as the "Three Uniques", were more representative literati painters of the Qing Dynasty.

I believe that all the distinguished guests know the deeds of Zheng Banqiao, I will not be pretentious, I announce that the starting price of this "Qingguang Portrait" is 10 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 500,000 ......"

"Ten million!"

"Eleven million!"

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone shouted below, and these people who came to participate in the auction were all masters who were not short of money, and soon, this "Qingguang Portrait" soared to 15 million.

"The current highest price is fifteen million, and fifteen million was sold on the 15th. ”

"Fifteen million for the first time!"

"Fifteen million for the second time, there is no one to bid, if not, "Qingguang Lingering Picture" will be owned by No. 15!"

The auctioneer shouted loudly on the stage, his voice was loud and excited, and he kept creating an atmosphere for those sitting below to miss out if they didn't make a move.

"Sixteen million!"

"Okay, 16 million on the 13th, is there a higher ......?"

Seeing that their efforts paid off, the auctioneer became more excited and worked harder.

In the end, Zheng Banqiao's "Qingguang Portrait" was photographed by a person named No. 20 for 18 million.

The first lot sold for 18 million yuan, which made the atmosphere of the auction even more high, and then the auctioneer soon announced that the second lot was officially auctioned, which was a Tang Dynasty vase.

The auctioneer on the stage passionately introduced the origin of this vase, offstage, Xiang Tian wrapped his arms in front of his chest, closed his eyes and quietly waited for the appearance of that thing, just now he has learned from the organizer that that thing is the finale of today's auction, and will appear at the end, what he has to do now is to wait patiently.

On the other side, Ma Tengfei was also closing his eyes to recuperate, and the Ma Gong achievements beside him were not as certain as his Lao Tzu, he carefully observed the people around him, wanting to see if there were any people he knew here.

However, since everyone was wearing the same black outfit and wearing the same mask, he could only guess the true identity of each other by the tall and thin figures of these people.

After observing for a while, Ma Gongcheng gave up, and the auction only lasted for an hour, and there were not many people who participated in this auction, and it was of no use to him to spend so much energy guessing their identities.

Because until now, Ma Gongcheng has not figured out what the purpose of his Lao Tzu brought him to this auction, but he really wants to know what the thing that attracted Xiang Tian to participate in the auction is.

However, Ma Tengfei did not tell him directly, but asked him to calm down a little, which made him itch in his heart.

......

Just as Xiang Tian and Ma Gongcheng were waiting for that thing to appear, the three kidnappers who were following Qiao Ruoxi began to move.

After attending the media conference, Qiao Ruoxi went to the bathroom and did not come out for a long time.

It wasn't until Sister Fei and the clothing brand company were a little impatient to wait, they went to the bathroom to look for it, and they didn't find Qiao Ruoxi after looking for it, they realized that something was wrong, and they chose to call the police as soon as possible, and after reporting to the police, they went to the monitoring room to check the monitoring.

When I arrived at the monitoring room, I found that the security guard in the monitoring room was knocked unconscious, and more importantly, the surveillance video was also artificially destroyed, and I couldn't view it at all.

The people from the clothing company immediately asked all their employees to the office for a meeting and asked them if they had seen outsiders entering the company, or where Qiao Ruoxi had gone.

Soon, the police also came, and after understanding the situation, they didn't dare to slack off, after all, Qiao Ruoxi is a public figure, and if the news of her disappearance in the International Trade Building spreads, it will definitely cause a sensation.

The police hurriedly contacted the headquarters, looked at the cameras at various intersections near the International Trade Building, and after some investigation, the police locked their eyes on the three kidnappers driving a Wuling Hongguang, and then began to track down the Wuling Hongguang at various intersections.

Just when the police were racing against time to track down the whereabouts of the three kidnappers, the finale of the auction finally appeared.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this auction has reached the stage of the highest dynasty, and the long-awaited finale is finally about to appear, and the last item of this auction is a piece of jade ......"

As he spoke, the auctioneer took a box handed over by the service staff, and then opened the box, and the projection of the box immediately appeared on the screen behind him, and the people sitting below saw the contents of the box, which was a piece of white and flawless jade, this piece of jade was not big, it was only as big as the bottom of the Nongfu Spring bottle.

"Distinguished guests, don't look at it This is just a simple piece of jade, the origin of this piece of jade is not simple, it comes from the Qin Dynasty, it is said to be the Pei jade of Qin Shi Huang, there is a big secret hidden in it, as for what this secret is, no one has studied it so far......"

Listening to the auctioneer excitedly introducing the origin of this piece of jade, the more Ma Gongcheng in the audience listened, the more he felt nonsense, and it was a big secret, why didn't you say that there was a treasure map hidden in it, thinking that this was filming a costume martial arts drama, and I was still very curious about this auction these days, and now it seems that this is just a scam for the rich.

Thinking of this, Ma Gongcheng suddenly had a boring feeling.

When Ma Gongcheng was thinking nonsense, the auction of this piece of jade was already being carried out in an orderly manner, and judging from the atmosphere of the scene, the competition was still very fierce.

"One hundred million!"

As soon as he heard this voice coming from his side, Ma Gongcheng was suddenly startled.
