Chapter 25 980 million
After Lu Chen came to the gym, he didn't see his personal trainer Shen Chuxue.
After asking the staff, I found out that Shen Chuxue had taken leave and had not come to the gym for several days.
"I'm back in the middle school, and I heard from the gym staff that you took a leave of absence."
Lu Chen sent a message to Shen Chuxue.
"My grandfather was sick, I went back to my hometown to take care of him, and I will go back in a few days."
Shen Chuxue quickly replied with a message.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you to come back and work out with me."
Lu Chen replied with a message, and after thinking about it, he sent a red envelope of 10,000 yuan to Shen Chuxue.
"Buying some nutritional products for the elderly is a little bit of my heart."
After sending it, Lu Chen also looked at the results, put down his mobile phone, changed into clothes, and then went to the fitness area to start exercising.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and it was time for the auction to begin.
Lu Chen received an invitation from Zhang Youfu, the director of the auction house, and he planned to go to the auction to have a look, and meet the market by the way, after all, he had never had the opportunity to contact auctions before, and these were all played by rich people.
"Mr. Lu, meet again."
At the door of the extraordinary auction house, Zhang Youfu, who was waiting here, came up to greet him enthusiastically as soon as he saw Lu Chen getting out of the taxi.
"Director Zhang is polite."
Lu Chen and Zhang Youfu shook hands and said politely.
"Mr. Lu, the auction is about to start, let's go in."
After the two finished greetings, Zhang Youfu said.
The auction started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and it was already more than 7:50 when Lu Chen came here.
"Okay, let's go inside."
Lu Chen nodded and followed Zhang Youfu into the auction house.
Zhang Youfu took Lu Chen to a room.
The room is not very big, about a dozen square meters in size.
However, one wall of the room is made up of a large piece of glass through which the auction hall can be seen outside.
There were also a lot of people sitting on the chairs in the auction hall outside at this time, and there were at least hundreds of people scattered around.
"Mr. Lu, you can watch the auction here."
"Of course, if you want to participate in the auction, you can also press the button on this table to bid."
"I've got to get busy first, you have something to ask the staff to come to me."
After Zhang Youfu finished speaking, he apologized to Lu Chen, and then went out in a hurry.
After all, the auction is about to start, and he is still very busy as a supervisor.
Lu Chen came to the sofa in the room and sat down, cross-legged and waited for the auction to start in the exhibition hall outside.
When the time came to 8 o'clock, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up to the exhibition hall and said into the microphone placed in the exhibition hall: "Distinguished gentlemen and ladies, hello, I am Zhang Quan, the auctioneer of this time. ”
"The auction starts now."
"Now we are starting to present our first lots."
The auctioneer didn't talk too much nonsense and went straight to the auction.
Following the auctioneer's words, a beautiful woman in a cheongsam came to the auctioneer with a tray covered with a red cloth, and the auctioneer lifted the red cloth and took out something that resembled a magnified porcelain from a wine jug.
"During the Ming Hongwu period, the starting price was 5 million, and each increase should not be less than 100,000."
The auctioneer pointed to the porcelain.
At this time, a large screen also appeared behind the auctioneer, and the customer's bid would be displayed on the screen.
No. 256; 5.1 million.
No. 247; 6 million.
No. 123; 6.2 million.
No. 256; 7 million.
As the price on the screen changed, it didn't take long for the price to reach 7 million.
After waiting for a while and no one bid, the auctioneer picked up the microphone and said, "The guest in the No. 256 private room bid 7 million, is there any higher, if not, this blue and white chrysanthemum pattern pot belongs to the guest of No. 256." ”
"7 million for the first time."
The auctioneer picks up the hammer and counts the numbers, as long as he shouts that three hammers have fallen, the auction is successful.
"7 million for the second time."
After the auctioneer said this, he waited for a while, and when he saw that no one continued to increase the price, he shouted again: "7 million for the third time, congratulations to Mr. 256 for auctioning this blue and white chrysanthemum pattern pot in the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty." ”
With the hammer falling heavily, the auction of the first item ended.
Soon the auction of the second item was a pair of very beautiful-looking jade bracelets, with a starting price of 1.2 million.
No. 124: 1.3 million.
No. 212: 1.5 million.
No. 236: 1.9 million.
"It seems that there are really a lot of rich people!"
Looking at the rising numbers on the screen, Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh.
How many ordinary people in the middle city have worked hard all their lives, and they may not be able to afford any item in it.
Time passed slowly, and one item after another was constantly auctioned off.
Lu Chen observed that basically there was no item with a value of less than 2 million.
More than an hour later, the auction came to an end, and the auction of the finale items began.
"Now, please get out of our finale items."
With the auctioneer's words, the lights in the exhibition hall were suddenly turned off and plunged into darkness.
Suddenly, a soft light rose from the stand.
I saw that on the booth, the auctioneer was holding a box in his hand, and a round bead inside the box was emitting a white light.
"Wow, it's really a pearl of the night, I thought it was exaggerated."
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful."
"Honey, I want it, you buy it and give it to me, okay, you give him to me, you can do whatever you want to me, haven't you always wanted to go through the back door?"
With the appearance of the Night Pearl, the exhibition hall suddenly became noisy.
Many women stared at the night pearl on the stage with their eyes shining.
Some women have even begun to coquettish men and seduce them.
After everyone watched the effect of the night pearl for a while, the lights of the exhibition hall were turned on again.
The auctioneer starts the auction.
"Pure natural night pearl, weighing 108 grams, 18 mm in diameter, low price of 500 million, each increase shall not be less than 10 million."
"No, the low price is 500 million, who can afford it."
As soon as the price of the Night Pearl came out, the originally noisy exhibition hall became quiet.
A fat man with a large gold chain around his neck and various gemstone rings on his hands and fingers, who looked like an upstart at first glance, complained.
"Hehe, of course those of us who do it in the exhibition hall outside can't afford it."
"It looks like it's for those in the private room."
At this time, a person next to the fat man glanced at the fat man and spoke.
"That's right, after all, if you want to enter the private room, you have to be worth more than a billion."
After hearing this, the fat man looked at the dozen or so private rooms surrounding the entire exhibition hall with some envy.
And then the bidding price starts to appear on the screen.
No. 05: 510 million.
No. 09: 550 million.
No. 04: 600 million.
No. 01: 650 million.
……
"Haha, up, keep rising."
Looking at the rising prices on the screen, Lu Chen's face was full of smiles, after all, this was his.
After a period of competition, the Night Pearl was auctioned by the people in the No. 01 private room for 980 million.
"It's a pity, it's almost over a billion."
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed with pity.
But then he became happy, and soon he became a rich man with a net worth of nearly a billion.
And this is cash, unlike many rich people who are worth billions, but it is not so easy for them to come up with hundreds of millions of cash.
