Chapter 12 Auctions

Ten days later

The top floor of the Wufang Hotel was already arranged as an auction venue at this time.

The venue is divided into two floors, and above it are 36 private rooms built in an arc and decorated with exquisite decorations, and you can overlook the panoramic view of the venue. Below are hundreds of solid wood sofas that are scattered and scattered, also showing arc-shaped trajectories, and are arranged downward step by step.

In the center of the front of the venue is an auction round table with a diameter of five or six meters, behind which there is a high wall with a huge LCD screen.

According to the grapevine, the five-party auction house conducted this auction, inviting all domestic billionaires with a net worth of more than 10 million, and the solid wood sofa was for the tens of millions of wealthy people who came to participate in the auction. And if you want to enter the 36 private rooms, you must at least be a billionaire, or a person with a certain level of status in society.

After a series of security checks, many wealthy people who were invited to participate in the auction also entered the auction one after another, and every rich man who entered the auction was full of red faces.

After all, as a multimillionaire, or even a billionaire, he is a successful person in society, and he is proud of life. And now the five-party auction is to let hundreds of millions, dozens of billionaires gather, this in Guangdong, is also a rare event in ten years, to participate in this kind of event, itself is a symbol of strength and status.

So it's hard to even if you don't want to be red-faced.

With the continuous entry of many wealthy people, the auction venue is gradually becoming lively, and those who already know each other are calling friends and contacting feelings. Even if they didn't know each other before, but everyone is a rich man of more than 10 million years, and they can be regarded as people in a circle, maybe there will be something to ask each other in the future, so even if they are two people who are completely unfamiliar with each other, they can talk to each other in a low voice, and they will slowly get acquainted.

"Mr. Shang, this is your private room. Shang Tianji also came to the No. 36 private room of the auction under the leadership of a staff member of the auction after going through the security check.

Originally, Shang Tianji only took out the jade carving at that time, and did not indicate his net worth, so generally speaking, even if Yang Ling invited Shang Tianji to participate in the auction, the most likely thing was to arrange Shang Tianji in an ordinary auction seat, rather than in the current private room that symbolizes wealth and status.

However, at that time, Yang Ling saw that Shang Tianji casually took out a well-made antique jade carving, and he didn't seem to care too much about it, thinking that Shang Tianji still had a lot of good things in his hands, and it may be a high-quality source, and the source of goods is very important for an auction, and it can even be said to be the lifeblood of the auction.

Shang Tianji also showed that he came for a certain auction item at the auction, and he was also very wealthy, so Yang Ling simply arranged Shang Tianji to participate in the auction in a private room, which could be regarded as wooing Shang Tianji.

Not only Shang Tianji, but when the auction staff stepped down and Shang Tianji walked into the private room.

There was a woman in a purple skirt, with a female secret technique, walked into the No. 12 private room, a young man in a black suit, holding a tablet, and shining leather shoes, walked into the No. 18 private room, and there was an old man in Tang costume who was in a flashing spirit, accompanied by a middle-aged man of forty or fifty years old and a somewhat burly man, walked into the ......

Dangdang

When all the participants in the auction were almost in place, the huge LCD screen behind the auction round gradually lit up, and then a huge bronze bell appeared on the screen. Immediately afterward, a telephone pole-thick Aoki appeared, struck the bronze bell lightly, and several bells rang through the loudspeakers in the auction room.

After the bronze bell rang, the noise in the venue slowly dissipated, and gradually became clearer.

Click

After the bell rang, several heavy metal crashes rang out, and the auction round table under the screen suddenly opened, revealing a circular passage with a diameter of more than two meters and a vertical downward direction.

Immediately afterwards, a woman stood on top of it, and a long table was placed, and an iron pillar the same size as the circular passage gradually rose from under the passage, and finally stitched together with the circular passage to form an auction table that was exactly the same as before.

Different from the previous auction table, at this time, there is already an extra mahogany long table on the auction table, on which there is a small mahogany hammer, and behind the mahogany long table is a woman wearing a purple cheongsam.

The purple cheongsam woman Shang Tianji also knew that it was Yang Ling, the general manager of the hotel.

At this time, Yang Ling was not only wearing a purple cheongsam, but also wearing light makeup, compared with the Yang Ling he saw before, Shang Tianji felt that Yang Ling at this time seemed to be a little less on his body, and at the same time there was something more.

It's more of the charm of some mature women, as for what is missing, Shang Tianji can't say at this time, this feeling is very wonderful, and it can only be understood.

"Hello everyone, I am Yang Ling, is the host of this auction, thank you for being able to take time out of your busy schedule to participate in this auction, this auction is a large-scale auction that we only hold once in five years, some specific information, I believe you have learned through our official website, I will not repeat. ”

"Here, I wish everyone a satisfactory harvest in the future, okay, don't waste everyone's time, I announce that the five-party auction house's five-year large-scale auction is now officially started, and we are invited to the first auction. ”

As soon as Yang Ling appeared, a warm smile appeared on his face, he introduced himself, and then said a few simple words, no more nonsense, and directly announced the start of the auction.

brush

As Yang Ling's words fell, the picture on the huge screen on the wall behind the auction table suddenly changed, directly from a bronze bell to an egg-yellow stone the size of a bucket.

At the same time, as in the previous appearance of Yang Ling, a stone that was exactly the same as in the picture, under the support of a square iron pillar, gradually rose from the ground and appeared next to Yang Ling, holding a high position with Yang Ling's half-waist.

"The first auction item of this auction, the raw jade of Myanmar Laokeng, please look at the big screen, or you can directly see the real thing. After the egg yolk stone appeared, Yang Ling first turned sideways slightly, signaled everyone to look at the big screen with a white palm, and then pointed to the egg yolk solid stone road beside him.

"After our technicians probed with sophisticated instruments, we can be sure that there is definitely jade in this rough stone. If someone here auctions this piece of jade, and then in the process of cutting the stone, there is a whole process witnessed by our auction staff, if there is no jade cut out of the rough stone, our auction will be willing to compensate the buyer for the loss of double the final transaction price of the rough stone, which can be guaranteed by the credibility of our auction. ”

"As for what kind of jade is in the rough stone, and how big the jade is, it depends on the luck of the buyer. The reserve price of the jade rough is 1 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 yuan each time. ”

Although there is an auction guarantee, you can cut the jade from the jade rough, but in the end what can be cut, it depends on your own luck, this is a gambling word, bet on a way, a thought of heaven, a thought of hell, or a little more cautious as well.

Therefore, after Yang Ling's words fell, there was no one to bid for a while, and there was a rare cold scene at the sale venue.

"It just so happens that this stone is egg yolk, maybe this stone has something to do with my old yellow, and I will give a million. But the next moment, in the front row of the sofa, a middle-aged man with a rich face directly raised the sign marked with the number serial number in his hand and asked for the price.

"Mr. Forty-Nine bids one million, has there been any price increase?" Although he knew that the possibility of the jade rough stone being auctioned was very small, but if no one bid, the first auction item in this large-scale auction every five years would be unauctioned, so that the fun would be great, and after a short period of cold field, Yang Ling was also slightly relieved to see someone bidding.

"One and a half million. "The third row of the sofa, with gold-wire glasses and a suit and leather shoes, is completely a man dressed as a successful person, and he also raised the sign in his hand, and directly added 200,000.

"Now that Mr. Fifty-Five is bidding 1.2 million, has there been any price increase?" Yang Ling saw that someone had bid again, and immediately sang the offer with a smile on his face.

"One and a half million. ”

"Now Mr. Sixty-Four is bidding 1.5 million, is there any price increase?"

"Two million. ”

"...... Now"

"Two and a half million"

"...... Now"

.....

With the quotations of the first two rich Lao Huang and the man with gold wire glasses, the auction atmosphere of the auction is gradually heating up, and people continue to increase the price. However, these bidders were all rich people sitting on the sofa, and none of the rich people in the private room were bidding, as if they were not interested in this jade rough at all, and the same was true for Shang Tianji.

But even if it is a rich man sitting on the sofa, it is tens of millions, and those who can be invited to participate in the auction are the top of the tens of millions of billionaires, not worse than these millions.

Moreover, the rough stone is the size of a bucket, and there is an auction guarantee, from which the jade will be cut, and the rough stone will be auctioned, even if it is a loss, it will not lose anywhere.

"Five million. "With everyone's continuous bidding, the price of jade rough has also risen all the way, knowing that now, it is already a high price of five million.

"Okay, Ms. One Hundred bid five million, and now the price of jade raw materials is five million, is there any price increase?" Yang Ling saw that the price of jade rough had soared to five million, and he also shouted hello and said loudly.

"Six million. The man with a big belly, a big back comb, and a dog-like man in a dress groaned slightly, and he also made a bid, and directly added a million.

"It's six million now, has there been any price increase?" Yang Ling said with a smile on his face on the auction table.

"Six and a half million. "A lady in her forties, plump, graceful, and charming, raised the sign in her hand, added 500,000, and looked at the number on the sign, which was exactly 100.

"Okay, now Lady One Hundred is bidding six million, is there any price increase. Yang Ling sang.

"Seven million. As soon as Yang Ling's words fell, the man with the big back gritted his teeth and directly added another 500,000.

"It's seven million now, seven million, is there a price increase?" Yang Ling sang seven million twice in a row on the auction table, and then his eyes looked slightly in the direction of the No. 100 noblewoman, and asked with a smile on his face, the meaning of which is self-evident.

"Seven and a half million. The No. 100 lady did not disappoint Yang Ling, and directly added 500,000.

"Eight and a half million. This time, without waiting for Yang Ling to exit, the man with the big back waved his hand, and directly shouted out a high price of 8.5 million, directly increasing the price by 1 million, giving people a feeling that they would not give up if they did not take down the jade rough stone.
