Chapter 17: Light a Fire
When Minister Tu turned around after announcing it, I could see that her face was hard enough to be used as a brick!
Seeing that there was no one next to the most important exhibits, you can imagine what her mood could be like. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
And the hundreds of customers who came to visit probably didn't understand what was going on: why was there no one left?
The whole hall has thousands of square meters, and dozens of various exhibits are distributed, and the lion boy figure is in the center, and it is also located on the first page of the album that was distributed in advance, so it is fully explained that this thing is the most important and the most expensive lot in this auction.
The thing that should be highlighted is that no one is on the side, is it to let everyone see it for themselves?
Everyone had some doubts and curiosity, and they didn't know what was going on.
These people who came were all regular customers, and they had never seen this situation before, but they attracted everyone's attention to the lot in the middle, and they all planned to go up to see what was going on first.
Seeing that everyone was flocking to the lion boy face, Minister Tu, who felt extremely embarrassed, glared fiercely at He Longjun, who was already frightened on the side, and then looked at the customers with a smile and said: "In this way, let's change the way the lot is displayed this time: how about our concierge take everyone to make the first exhibit on the left side of the hall, and give a detailed introduction one by one?" ”
"Miss Tu, why are you doing so strange this time?"
An old man with gold-rimmed glasses, tall and thin, wearing a well-fitting suit, took the lead with a dissatisfied look and said: "You have so many lots, and we may not be interested in every one of them, what is the meaning of your introduction one by one?" I only look at the things that interest me: for example, the middle one: why is this one not introduced? Has it already been decided? ”
Minister Tu's face turned pale all of a sudden.
As soon as he heard this, a middle-aged man immediately stood up: "Miss Tu." If the lot has already been decided. So why is it still here? What do you mean by that? Is it eye-catching? ”
As soon as they heard the word 'eye-catching', some other customers immediately made a noise.
"Why are these people so angry?"
In a corner of the hall, I asked casually as I smiled at what was happening.
"There were such auctions in our time, but I didn't expect that these old rules have not changed in modern times."
The answer to me was my aunt Ji Wei.
My aunt stood beside me: Of course no one else could see her existence.
"The so-called eye-catching is actually a provocative act: in our time, before the auction, it will also be displayed, and the approximate price or something will be indicated, but there is another situation: there are some lots that some people want to get: some powerful people directly monopolize some lots."
"But generally speaking, if you want to buy it, you can buy it, you have power and power, we can't do it, but there is a more disgusting situation like this: I have a direct monopoly on things, but I still have to show you: I want to put what I have bought in the display, but not the price, which means that I have bought it, you can see it, but you can't buy it! It's already my stuff! This kind of thing is called 'eye-catching' in auctions. ”
Only then did I understand: this 'eye-catching' is also a way to show off to others: I am powerful enough to drag and be crazy enough, you poor ghosts don't want to fight with me, the uncle's things are the uncle's, you can see it, but you can't touch it, that's what it means.
"It's a big no-no in an auction, and it's a collective insult to other customers: very few people usually do this kind of thing, now you understand, right?" Auntie smiled.
I smiled and nodded.
"So, you've lit the fire, now how are you going to put it out?" The aunt then asked.
"Hehe, look at me."
After talking to my aunt, the center of the hall was already flooded by a sea of anger.
"Miss Tu! What do you mean by that? Who swallowed this thing and made it eye-catching? ”
"Tiannan is too much! Isn't it when we're all good bullies? ”
"Lao Tzu will never come again!"
"Isn't this smashing your own sign?"
There was a lot of discussion below, and Minister Tu kept explaining: "That's not the case, no one has decided on this thing now!" I just don't know where the docent went! Please don't get me wrong. ”
No one accepts the cover-up explanation.
After estimating that Minister Tu could tear me apart by now, I wore my clothes, my hair was still unkempt, and I walked directly to the lion boy face.
At this time, everyone was pointing to this bronze statue and talking about it, and when they saw where I suddenly appeared, many people didn't know what was going on, and they all looked at me with a puzzled look.
Minister Tu was sweating profusely and was explaining, and when he found that everyone's attention was not on him, he turned around in confusion and saw me standing on the side of the statue, and she was also confused.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm so sorry I'm late!" I looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Who wants to hear me tell us about this lot?" ”
A group of people didn't seem to understand what I was saying at all, and the tall and thin old man who had the head looked me up and down, immediately turned his head to look at Minister Tu, and said in a questioning tone: "Minister Tu! Even if you're going to be eye-catching, find someone who at least looks like that to deal with us, right? Are you looking for that young man now, do you really look down on us and don't want us to cooperate with you anymore? ”
"This ...... Deng Lao, this young man is really the protocol of the lion boy face, but he wears it...... This ......"
"Hehe, I'm sorry, my name is He Qizheng, I just came to the big city from the countryside, we rural people don't know much about the routines of your city people, please forgive me!"
I saluted as I spoke.
"Hands forward, left down right up, palms down, knees bent: then bend ninety degrees. Place your forehead on the back of your hand, pay attention to your posture, and slowly raise your head. ”
My grandfather whispered in my ear how to salute.
Seeing my posture, many people laughed, and a few young people laughed, "What kind of posture is this?" Similar to dried shrimp? It's really true that he came from the countryside. ”
The tall and thin old man known as 'Deng Lao' didn't smile, but looked at my posture very carefully, and then waved his hand behind him.
"Young man, are you doing the ancient rites?"
