Chapter 925: Yuan Qinghua
However, Jiang Hao was not familiar with them after all, so his attitude was much more indifferent, and he did not have the cordiality and closeness when greeting Zhao Lan at all.
The auction would start in another fifty minutes, and Jiang Hao and Su Qingli were already seated in their seats.
Jiang Lingling sat on Jiang Hao's lap, and at the same time grabbed Su Qingli's hand, as if she wanted to occupy both Jiang Hao and Su Qingli.
"Dad, what's the auction?" Jiang Lingling asked suspiciously.
It's the first time for the little guy to participate in the auction, so naturally he doesn't know what the auction is.
Jiang Hao explained with a smile: "The auction is a gathering to buy things, and when you get off the stage, you will put things out one by one, and then sell them publicly, and the people below will bid, and whoever pays the highest price will be able to buy the goods on the stage." ”
Hearing Jiang Hao say this, Jiang Lingling showed a look of understanding or not.
Then she asked, "What a hassle like this!" ”
Su Qingli next to him smiled dumbly and said, "It's really troublesome, but it's more expensive to sell like this!" ”
Jiang Lingling thought for a moment, then bit her index finger and asked, "If things are more expensive, won't the people who buy them suffer a loss?" ”
Su Qingli was really stopped by Jiang Lingling.
Jiang Hao touched Jiang Lingling's head and explained earnestly: "People who buy things have to spend more money to buy things, and they do suffer a loss in this regard, but this also proves the strength of the buyer." Being able to buy an auction item under fierce competition is definitely a good opportunity to be in the limelight. ”
"I see, this is spending money to buy face."
Jiang Lingling immediately nodded and said.
Hearing this, Jiang Hao couldn't help but glance at Su Qingli.
Although Jiang Lingling spoke vaguely and her mind didn't seem to be clear, what she said was in one sentence, and she hit the key point at once.
The auction has finally begun.
A middle-aged beautiful woman dressed in a bright red cheongsam walked on stage with light steps, and when she arrived on the stage, she said in a very loud voice: "Good evening, guests, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in this auction." On behalf of the organizer of the auction, which is the Zhao family, I would like to thank you all here! ”
The auctioneer bowed before continuing.
After her introduction, Jiang Hao knew why the Zhao family held this auction.
It turned out that the Zhao family planned to sell some of the antiques and treasures in their treasury to raise funds and start a new project - to develop a villa area in the southern suburbs of Maple Leaf City.
The news that the Zhao family was going to build a large villa, Jiang Hao had heard it before, but he didn't take it to heart. Knowing that tonight, he connected the two things.
Of course, this is only part of the reason, and the other part is commissioning.
The Zhao family's connections are also very extensive, and as soon as the news of their auction came out, many people who had a good relationship with the Zhao family came to the door and entrusted the Zhao family to auction the collections in their hands on their behalf.
Therefore, the auction items that will appear at tonight's auction are partly from the Zhao family's treasury, while the other part is commissioned by others.
And what kind of auction items are waiting for now, Jiang Hao and Su Qingli don't know for the time being.
Because the Zhao family did not prepare a menu or name for the auction items, it seems that it is to maintain a sense of mystery.
Su Qingli next to him said with some surprise: "I really didn't expect that the Zhao family would invite her to preside over tonight's auction." ”
When he spoke, Su Qingli looked at the female auctioneer in a red cheongsam on the stage without blinking, it seemed that Su Qingli knew this female auctioneer, or knew her.
Jiang Hao asked curiously, "Do you know who she is?" ”
She is the number one female auctioneer in Nanyang City, named Lin Qingwei. It is said that as long as she presides over the auction, the auction price will be double or even more than the normal price. Su Qingli explained.
"She's so famous, huh? And still from Nanyang City? ”
Jiang Hao laughed dumbly.
Jiang Hao himself is a native of Nanyang City, but he has never heard of this female auctioneer.
But this is also normal, because before last year, Jiang Hao was just an ordinary person, without a prominent family background, and naturally came into contact with auctions, which basically only belonged to the upper class. And without access to this kind of gathering, Jiang Hao certainly had no way of knowing about this female auctioneer.
"I used to attend an auction in Nanyang City, and she was the auctioneer invited for the auction. Originally, I took a fancy to something, but unfortunately, as soon as she made a move, the people at the auction scene bid like crazy, and I had to go home in the end. Su Qingli said with a wry smile.
"It's okay, if you have something you like tonight, I'll take a picture of you even if I risk this life." Jiang Hao patted his chest and said.
"This is an exaggeration, with your current strength, as long as you make a move, who here dares to fight with you? I guess if you do participate in the auction, the people here may sell you face. Su Qingli said with a smile.
"Is that an exaggeration?"
Jiang Hao touched his nose, and he didn't look self-aware at all.
"It's no exaggeration, it's all true." Su Qingli nodded vigorously.
The female auctioneer on the stage, the tirade opening remarks have finally been finished, and now, the first auction item has finally come to the stage.
The first lot in this auction is a 30-centimeter-high ceramic vase.
The ceramic vase is blue and white in colour, with an intricate pattern depicting it – no doubt it is a piece of blue and white flowers.
The female auctioneer Lin Qingwei introduced in a very brisk tone: "This Yuan blue and white vase, named Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang Vase, was used by the court of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was forbidden to be circulated by the people. At that time, a eunuch in the kilometer stole it out of the palace and brought it back to his hometown before returning to his hometown, and the eunuch later adopted an adopted son and left him this piece of Yuan Qinghua and other belongings before he died. And the adopted son has passed this piece of Yuan blue and white as a family heirloom from generation to generation. ”
"The Point Guard Is Here"
"From the Yuan Dynasty to the present, this Yuan Qinghua has been passed down in that family for a full fourteen generations! If it weren't for the bankruptcy of the family business a few years ago and the catastrophe, then he would never have sold this piece of Yuan blue and white flowers, and Zhao Shibo, the head of the Zhao family at that time, bought this piece of Yuan blue and white and spent this ......."
Speaking of this, the female auctioneer on the stage raised two fingers.
There is no doubt that two fingers certainly represent not two million, but twenty million.
Yuan Qinghua deserves this price.
But this is all the words of the female auctioneer, Zhao Shibo bought this Yuan blue and white piece, did it cost 20 million, who knows?
