Chapter 162: The Auction
Jiang Ping walked straight to Mrs. Charles, smiled faintly at the other party, and said, "Hello, Mrs. Charles, you don't mind if I sit here, right?" ”
Mrs. Charles had already noticed the other party, and when she saw that the other party was so persevering, chasing herself here, she was very proud of her charm in her heart, but she had to admire the other party, could it be that the other party was not afraid of Ouyang Ting being jealous if she did this?
Looking at Ouyang Ting's tense face behind her, with an unhappy look, she was secretly happy in her heart, and she had the intention to tease the other party, Gegejiao laughed and said, "Of course I don't mind, it is also my honor to know a top student of the military academy like Mr. Jiang Ping." This is my business card. ”
With that, he took out a gold card from his bosom and handed it to the other party.
Jiang Ping listened, sat down next to the other party, took the business card handed over by the other party, glanced at it slightly, then put it in his arms, and said with a smile: "Xie Lu Xie, if there is anything in the future, when you want to trouble Madame, I hope Madame will not be surprised." ”
Mrs. Charles was secretly happy in her heart, this kid was really cowardly, and in front of his girlfriend, he dared to blatantly hook a woman from a good family!
Boy, don't be complacent, there will be you good-looking, and then the bamboo baskets on both sides of you will be empty, and you will cry and have nowhere to go!
Originally, for an unknown person like Jiang Ping, she Mrs. Charles couldn't look down on her at all, let alone give away business cards, but now she has the intention to tease the other party, in order to make Ouyang Ting jealous, and it is best for the two of them to fall out and break up after the worst, so that this hateful boy named Jiang Ping can taste the taste of stealing chickens and not eating a handful of rice!
"Madame Charles, I heard you're in the jewelry business......"
While chatting with the other party, Jiang Ping let go of his thoughts, wrapped the jade pendant, and continued to absorb the life energy inside. The life energy in the jade pendant seeped out bit by bit, blending into Jiang Ping's biological energy field, and was absorbed by him and fused into his own energy.
Seeing Jiang Ping and Mrs. Charles talking and laughing beside her, she seemed to have become an outsider, Ouyang Ting didn't know what it was like in her heart. It stands to reason that what happened to Jiang Ping had nothing to do with her, and she couldn't care about it, but she just couldn't let go, and she always felt jealous in her heart.
What's wrong with you? For this kind of performance of herself, Ouyang Ting felt faintly flustered and uneasy in her heart.
Jiang Ping chatted with Mrs. Charles, but in the end he still didn't ask where the jade pendant came from, maybe the other party didn't want to say, or maybe the other party didn't know what to say.
At this moment, the auctioneer has already walked into the auction hall, and the bidders who have come are also seated, and the charity auction has officially begun.
The auctioneer first briefly introduced the procedures of the auction, which is just a routine, and there are many bidders present who are regular customers of the auction house, and they are already very familiar with a set of procedural rules of the auction house. According to the auctioneer, all proceeds from this charity auction will be donated to the Federal Child Development Fund.
After some gossip, the auction officially began. The first piece to be auctioned is an old painting from the old century.
With the expansion of human beings to the interstellar universe and the entry of human beings into the interstellar era of the Federation, more and more attention is paid to the development of scientific and technological civilization.
For example, this old century painting called "Sunflowers" is now auctioned, which is the work of Van Gogh, a famous painter in the old century.
In the old century, Van Gogh's work was once among the most famous, well-known and expensive works of art in the world, but now, his representative work is sold at a charity auction as an ordinary ancient painting, and the reserve price is not high, only 100,000 federal coins. …,
Of course, this situation is not encountered by Van Gogh's works alone, and most of the other antiques of the old century have encountered this kind of cold reception, and the value of the lack of interest has naturally shrunk greatly.
However, after all, it was a well-known painting, and there were still many bidders who bid, and when the final bid reached 300,000 federal coins, it was auctioned by a bidder.
Ouyang Ting once raised a sign when she bid for 150,000 federal coins, but then did not continue to participate in the bidding, it seems that she is not very interested in this ancient painting.
The second auction collection is a blue and white porcelain vase of the original Huaxia Yuan "Guiguzi Descending Mountain", with a reserve price of 50,000 federal coins.
This fine piece of Yuan blue and white porcelain used to fetch a sky-high price in the old century, but now, its value has shrunk greatly, and the reserve price is only 50,000 federal coins.
This Yuan blue and white porcelain vase was auctioned by Ouyang Ting at a price of 150,000 federal coins.
Seeing her take a picture of this porcelain vase, Jiang Ping felt strange and asked, "Ouyang Ting, do you like this porcelain vase very much, don't you think it's too expensive to buy such a porcelain vase with 150,000 federal dollars?" ”
Ouyang Ting replied with an innocent expression: "I don't want to be like this either, I just quoted the price at random, but I didn't expect that no one would continue to increase the price!" ”
Jiang Ping couldn't help but be speechless for a while when he heard this.
A few more pieces were then auctioned, and the whole process was tepid, with neither the excitement of a hot auction with sky-high prices, nor the lack of interest or even the deserted scene of unsuccessful auctions.
At this time, the auctioneer on the stage took another brocade box, opened it, and said loudly to the bidders in the audience: "The next auction is a gemstone jade spar, with a reserve price of 50,000 federal coins, and each increase shall not be less than 5,000 federal coins!" ”
Saying that, he picked up this piece of jade spar, put it in his palm for the audience to watch, and continued to introduce: "This is a very pure jade spar, the color belongs to the more common blue, but the size of this spar is not small, you can buy it back to make an ornament, or make a few pendants, earrings." If you like this spar, you can quote now! ”
This jade hedron is the size of a baby's fist, and it is relatively large, but the color is a very ordinary light blue, which greatly reduces its value. As a very precious gemstone, its value is often reflected in its color, yellow, blue secondary, red, cyan second, purple is the most precious and rare.
However, Jiang Ping, who had not been very interested in this auction and had been secretly absorbing the life energy in the jade pendant on the body of Madame Charlese next to him, couldn't help but suddenly perk up after seeing this jade spar, and a few traces of excitement passed through his face.
