Chapter 7 The Auction Begins
Sure enough, within ten seconds of Luo Guo finishing speaking, a tight "tap and tap" sound came, and then a group of men in suits and sunglasses began to enter the field. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
After the man in sunglasses entered the scene, he began to walk around, seemingly to investigate the situation at the scene.
I was a little worried that it would be exposed, so I motioned to Liu Lao and Luo Guo to squeeze in again, but Liu Lao raised his chest and walked outside.
Worried, I had no choice but to walk out behind the two of them.
But the messy security team members outside didn't seem to see us, and they were all doing their own thing.
When everyone gathered, we got in on the mix.
Fortunately, at this time, the hostess outside the venue was already shouting the name of the person who came, otherwise these men in sunglasses would not have to suspect us?
There was an endless stream of people entering the venue outside the door, and in a short time the tiger chairs were filled. I looked at the crowd, all of them looked like they were pot-bellied, and a few of them wore necklaces with thick fingers around their necks, full of nouveau riche appearance.
I couldn't help but wonder to myself: such a person can also be invited? It's really "the world's biggest, it's all wonderful".
When the excitement on the side of the tiger chair gradually faded, another group of people came in.
The "grade" of this group of people is obviously higher than the previous ones, and the main manifestation of this is that there are hostesses to identify seats for them.
This may seem like a trivial matter, but it undoubtedly reveals the importance that the owners of the auction place place on them.
After the hostess took everyone into their seats one by one, the spotlight at the top of the room began to turn, and for a moment the lights were bright, and the unwitting must have thought that they had entered the bar.
When the spotlights went out, the crystal lamps fished from the ceiling slowly emitted a soft yellow light.
At this time, I saw a graceful woman walking out of the screen on the right side of the stage, her Chinese hair exuded an endless elegance, and her delicate figure was wrapped in a plain cheongsam, which was even more irresistible.
Needless to say, this woman should be Miss Master of Ceremonies.
Sure enough, while I was staring at the movement on the stage, the cheongsam beauty above slowly opened her mouth.
"Welcome to the triennial antique auction site of the Dicai Hotel. The Hotel is only responsible for the auction and is not involved in the auction as to whether the items to be auctioned are genuine or not, as well as after-sales service. “
When the master of ceremonies said this, the bottom began to whisper. One of them, with a big bald head of five big and three thick, suddenly shouted in his throat.
"I said, big girl, aren't you playing around with us? You also know that the auction items are all priced at hundreds of thousands, in case of a fake, we don't have to say that our heartache is not allowed, and your Dicai Hotel is not allowed to slap in the face? “
The big bald head spoke impassionedly, and several people near him began to whisper in agreement.
The master of ceremonies on the stage seemed to have expected this situation for a long time, only to see her smile, and then said: "This rule is a decision made by the board of directors of the local talent company in cooperation with the sellers, if the people present feel unreasonable, they can contact the local board of directors privately." This auction is a voluntary transaction, and the money and goods are cleared. If you want to leave, please do so now. However, if there is any disturbance during the auction process, the board of directors will reserve the right to pursue legal responsibility. ”
After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the audience began to discuss, for this rule, there are many people who are not convinced, but because of the prestige of the company, everyone is just complaining.
This phenomenon is more obvious in the area of the tiger chair, while the large round table is relatively quiet. I looked over and saw that everyone was whispering something, and at the same time, there was endless cunning in their expressions.
About a minute later, the emcee on the stage opened her mouth again: "This auction starts now." The rules are as follows: before bidding, each person must hold up the sign in their hand, and the auctioneer will confirm that it is correct three times before the auction can be sold. The auction will be won by the highest bidder, with a lower limit of 500,000 RMB and no upper limit. ”
After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, several cheongsam beauties walked out from both sides of the high platform, and several people scattered to distribute signs to the auctioneers present one by one to shout prices.
After the whole venue was quiet, Liu Lao on my right gently pushed me with his elbow. After understanding, my mouth was slightly open, and I whispered, "What are the instructions?" ”
Liu Lao said lightly: "When you take pictures of an object of a dragon soul, you must cooperate with my instructions." ”
When I heard the name "Dragon Soul", I almost didn't jump! Isn't this thing in Qiu's hands? Why is it now something that Yingzi brought out from the Great Khing'an Mountains? And appear at this auction?
I looked at Liu Lao slightly in shock, but I didn't dare to say anything more because I was worried that the man in sunglasses behind me would find out about the problem.
When the first item on the stage was presented by a girl dragging a tray, I was not interested at all, and my mind was full of the figure of "Dragon Soul".
Qiu Shui once said that this "Dragon Soul" is the inheritance of the Qiu family, and he also suspects that this is the result of the fusion of the blood of the Qiu family and the An family.
Therefore, even if Liu Lao doesn't say it, I will make my own opinion.
When I came to my senses, the first item on the stage had been auctioned by a big fat man.
"Okay, congratulations to Mr. Zhang Deshun for auctioning the first sale at a price of 800,000 yuan, then, let's continue to look at the second sale." In between the emcees' words, a cheongsam girl with a sassy head walked out of the screen on the right. On her tray is an amphora.
I've never known anything about antiques, so I looked at them and was immediately interested.
At this moment, in the center of the tiger chair area, a fat-headed, big-eared figure held up a square sign with the Arabic numeral 55 on it.
He raised his hand, and the master of ceremonies on the stage immediately said: "550,000 once." ”
I secretly said that there is really a rich man, and he didn't even look at the item, so he dared to call for 500,000 yuan, and he was not afraid that it was a fake.
Speaking of this, I think the hotel is not authentic. Neither guaranteeing the authenticity nor showing the thing to others, no matter how you look at it, is an overlord clause.
I don't know where these auctioneers come from, so I can't help but feel a little stupid with deep pockets.
As if seeing my doubts, Liu Lao whispered again at this time: "Do you know why this auction is hidden?" ”
I didn't even know that there was this auction, how could I possibly know why it was hidden? So he shook his head.
Liu Lao continued: "Because of many things, the source is unknown, which is also a reason for everyone to rest assured. In this case, the seller's primary need is to change things for money, so there are very few counterfeits, and with the prestige of the local hotel, it is even more impossible. ”
I nodded secretly, it seems.
As soon as Liu Lao's words fell, someone held up a sign with 100 written on it.
"A million."
