Chapter 121: Bidding
Looking at Hong Yu's admiring expression, and the surprised look of Chen Qing and the others, Zhang Hao suddenly panicked.
For the antiques that he can't see, he can also identify them through the card system G, but in the area of cooking, all he can rely on is the skills drawn from Cao Xueqin.
After communicating with Sun Zhaoguo and Zhu Haifeng, his "skill value" is about to be emptied.
Could it be that when you go out to eat in the future, you still have to be incognito?
Sun Kai said: "Zhang Hao, you know a lot of things!" ”
"Yes, there are very few young people who can cook for themselves now, and the students who follow me, even if they rent a house by themselves, still order takeout every day." Professor Xia smiled, "Zhang Hao, you are really hidden!" ”
Hong Yu said with fiery eyes: "Mr. Zhang, if we have the opportunity, we will also exchange cooking skills." ”
Zhang Hao said truthfully: "To be honest, my research on cooking is actually not profound, and the two times I communicated well with the two chefs were purely lucky." ”
Chen Qing, Professor Xia and the others looked at each other and smiled, thinking that Zhang Hao was subconsciously modest.
And Hong Yu heard a different meaning.
I saw him nod his head in agreement and said:
"What Mr. Zhang said is very true, just say that no chef in our country can master all the eight major cuisines in China.
We, the diners, should maintain a heart to learn! ”
Zhang Hao: "..."
He didn't expect Hong Yu's imagination to be so rich.
Could it be that this is why gourmets can conjure up so many stories through a single dish?
He was about to explain one or two, but Sun Kai was also moved by Hong Yu's words, and drew inferences:
"In my opinion, the same is true of antiques and antiques!
I admit that I have been in the antiques industry for many years, but I can't guarantee that I won't have another time to make a big splash. When it comes to antiques and history, we should all have a humble heart. ”
Looking at Hong Yu and Sun Kai, who suddenly found a common topic, Zhang Hao felt very tired.
Chen Jiayan didn't join the discussion of several people, and stood beside Chen Qing with a smile.
She was thinking, since Zhang Hao's cooking skills can be widely recognized in the industry, then Mr. Zhutian, who lives abroad, should also cook for himself often, right?
In the Qing Dynasty in another time and space, Cao Xueqin, who was playing the role of the family's "cook", looked up at the sky in confusion.
Just now, he seemed to feel a mysterious call.
Could it be that the immortals have something to discuss with him?
...
Zhang Hao had nothing to discuss with Cao Xueqin for the time being, and after having dinner with a few new friends and old friends, the auction finally began.
Zhang Hao, Chen Qing and others sat side by side, and Zhou Binlai and his two friends also joined in.
Seeing the lively appearance of Zhang Hao and Zhou Bin coming here, Xu Wei, who was sitting in the back row, couldn't help but grit his teeth again.
Back then, he tried his best to get Zhou Bin to come, hoping that the latter could bring him back, but Zhou Bin saw that he was not pure-minded and took the initiative to cut off contact.
Xu Wei has always held a grudge against this.
Now that he has a successful career, he naturally wants to get back to the field after seeing Zhou Bin coming. @
Zhang Hao also followed and became a thorn in Xu Wei's side.
He didn't take advantage of words during the day, and he had to get it back at auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the year has passed in a flash, and I am glad that you can enjoy it and participate in tonight's auction, and I hope that our friendship will last forever."
On the stage, Tang Zhicheng said with a smile on his face, "Just like last year, I will donate 20% of the total amount of tonight's auction to domestic charities in the name of everyone present, and I would like to thank you all for your love." ”
After the words fell, Zhang Hao in the audience applauded with everyone.
Zhou Binlai told him in advance that tonight's auction would not charge any commission to buyers and sellers.
Including entrusting a professional auction company to hold a license and presiding over the auction, the costs are borne by Tang Zhicheng alone.
It is undeniable that Tang Zhicheng's move may have the motive to buy people's hearts and improve his image.
But the money he donated was. (More exciting on the next page!) )
It's a real deal.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Seeing the extraordinary response from the audience, Tang Zhicheng bowed again and again, "I won't delay everyone's time, and then hand over the rostrum to our auctioneer!" ”
In a warm atmosphere, the auction soon reached its climax.
There were no first-class auctions in the opening few auctions, and the transaction price of one of the antiques exceeded Zhang Hao's psychological expectations.
"Don't be surprised, this auction would have been on the high side." Zhou Binlai noticed Zhang Hao's expression and explained in a low voice, "Because there is no commission, everyone can naturally spend the commission money on the auction."
Moreover, most of the people here are not bad at money, and Mr. Tang's auction is linked to charity, so he will naturally support it.
Moreover, since he came, he always had to give Mr. Tang a face, and he would buy something to go back. ”
Zhang Hao nodded and said in a low voice: "Brother Zhou, I have been taught." ”
"Hey, what's the gracious?" Zhou Bin came to observe the movement on the stage, "Okay, it's my turn to want the necklace!" ”
Zhang Hao also looked at the stage and saw that the auctioneer was introducing a necklace of ice jadeite with a starting price of 5.1 million.
This necklace is one of Zhou Bin's goals tonight.
I saw Zhou Binlai immediately raise a sign after the auction started: "10 million!" ”
The auctioneer immediately smiled and said, "Thank you for this gentleman's offer." ”
There was some applause in the venue, and it was obvious that Zhou Binlai also had a certain degree of popularity in this circle.
But this kind of applause fell on Xu Wei's ears, but it was an out-and-out mockery.
He didn't speak, and raised the bidding card in his hand fiercely.
The auctioneer immediately prompted: "Bidder No. 73, bid 10.1 million!" ”
Zhou Bin turned his head back and forth, and after seeing that the bidder was Xu Wei, he quietly raised the sign again and said: "15 million." ”
Xu Wei still didn't speak, just shook the auction card held in mid-air.
The auctioneer spoke up again: "15.1 million!" ”
Zhou Binlai continued to hold up the card: "18 million." ”
Xu Wei tapped the armrest of the seat with his left hand, and waved the bidding card held in his right hand again.
The auctioneer faithfully fulfilled his duty: "18.1 million! ”
Qiqi, who was sitting on Xu Wei's left, hurriedly persuaded: "Mr. Xu, it's not worth it!" ”
Xu Wei said with a gloomy face: "Shut up." ”
Seeing Xu Wei's unkind face, Qiqi hurriedly quieted down.
Zhou Binlai's voice sounded again in the venue: "21 million." ”
This time, Xu Wei's hand froze. @*~~
He also knew that it would be a little irrational to follow up at this time.
"Mr. Xu, don't you forget it?" The man sitting on his right side persuaded, "Let Zhou Bin buy this necklace at a high price, and we won't lose anything!" ”
Unexpectedly, his words seemed to stimulate Xu Wei.
In the next second, Xu Wei raised the bidding card again.
"21.1 million!"
Zhang Hao turned his head to look at Zhou Binlai, only to see the latter say to the auctioneer indifferently: "I give up." ”
