Chapter Ninety-Three: Status is Wealth

Although it was said to be a small auction with only five lots, when Gu Cheng came to the auction area, he found that there were really a lot of people, and nearly 100 seats were arranged.

Then I thought about it, but it was the same.

After all, it can be called the International Supercar Festival, which has already shown its influence, and even Wang Ziwen, the second generation of Xiangjiang Fu, has traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai, which is enough to explain the problem.

Moreover, the five supercars in this auction are all limited models that they can't usually buy with money, and these second-generation people are naturally unwilling to give up this opportunity.

Although there are not many rich people in this world, there are definitely a lot of them.

When Gu Cheng sat at the No. 8 auction seat, he seemed to have thought of something, looked around, and found that Qin Xiaoman, who was not qualified to bid, was still stopped in the visiting area, and then waved to the staff standing aside.

"Hello sir, what are your orders?"

The customers who can sit in the auction area are all verified and belong to the absolutely distinguished guests, the staff faced Gu Cheng's posture very low, and asked in a respectful tone.

"Do you see the girl in the tour area wearing a beige T-shirt and holding a mobile phone?"

"See, it's beautiful."

Gu Cheng: "??? ”

Hearing the staff's answer, Gu Cheng couldn't help but stare at him, something was wrong with this staff! Something is wrong!

However, Gu Cheng didn't bother to bother with him, and opened his mouth and ordered: "She is my girlfriend, you go and help me invite her here." ”

Originally, I wondered why Gu Cheng was staring at him inexplicably, but now when I heard Gu Cheng say that the girl he evaluated was actually the girlfriend of the master in front of him, my heart trembled.

Good guy, what did you do?

He originally thought that Gu Cheng asked him to go to Qin Xiaoman to ask for contact information, after all, there are many auto show customers who hold their own identities, and they are embarrassed to ask for contact information from those car models in public, usually they do it for him, and there will be a tip after success.

So in the face of Gu Cheng's inquiry, he thought he had come to live, and habitually echoed a sentence,

However, this staff member still has a bit of the ability to observe words and feelings, and when he saw Gu Cheng's expression, he knew that he should not be angry, so he hurriedly agreed.

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll go and invite this lady over."

"Hmm."

Gu Cheng bowed slightly, and then sat back in his place.

It wasn't until two minutes later that Qin Xiaoman was brought to Gu Cheng's side in the envious eyes of many people in the visiting area.

In fact, according to the regulations, people who are not qualified to bid are not allowed to enter the auction area.

After all, although it is only a division of regions, it separates two classes.

But the rules are dead, people are alive, this world is so realistic, an ordinary person, even if he is just attached to the powerful, is enough to achieve a class jump and enjoy privileges, just like there are hundreds of people in the auction area, but those who are really capable of participating in the auction are estimated to be about half.

The staff was very sensible, not only brought Qin Xiaoman over, but also thoughtfully prepared a chair and placed it beside Gu Cheng.

Seeing this, Gu Cheng also glanced at him with appreciation.

Seeing the admiring look in Gu Cheng's eyes, the staff actually didn't get any substantial benefits, but they couldn't help but be happy in their hearts.

Perhaps in his eyes, being able to be appreciated by a person of Gu Cheng's level is already something to be proud of.

When the staff left, Qin Xiaoman sat next to Gu Cheng, still holding his mobile phone in his hand, and whispered in Gu Cheng's ear excitedly: "Brother Cheng, the number of real online people in my live broadcast room has exceeded 50,000, and the popularity has also exceeded 10 million!" ”

Qin Xiaoman's tone looked very excited.

This was the most popular day since her live broadcast, but she understood that all this was indirectly obtained through Gu Cheng, and she was even more glad for the choice at that time.

Gu Cheng also smiled slightly when he saw this, and subconsciously reached out and touched her head.

Although it is said that the relationship between himself and Qin Xiaoman is not pure, so what? There are not many girls like her who know how to measure and carry their identities in contemporary society, and this kind of beautiful, sensible, and non-clingy girl is not the favorite of all rhodium-colored bismuth?

The audience in the live broadcast room saw a hand stretched out from the screen and put it on the head of their goddess, and the barrage suddenly howled wolf.

"Nope! Xiaoman! (BGM: Snowflakes fluttering north wind Xiao Xiao~)"

"I want to cry when I see this scene, my right hand has followed me for most of my life, and I haven't touched a girl yet, and I have to guide up and down for ten minutes every day, and I'm about to have varicose veins, it's really hard for it..."

"Say no more, depowder! Give me back the 6 yuan I used to apply for the card, and return the money in Geneva! ”

Although Qin Xiaoman was shy and Gu Cheng made such an intimate move in front of so many people in the live broadcast room, he did not resist at all, and he was even more familiar with the rhythm of de-fanning brought up by the barrage.

"Becoming an Immortal"

There are 50,000 people in the entire live broadcast room, and none of them are important to her.

........

.........

Two minutes later, it was two o'clock sharp.

The auction officially began, and the entire venue fell silent in an instant.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good afternoon, I am Fang Qingbo, the special auctioneer of Christie's auction company, and I am invited by the exhibitor to preside over this auction.

After speaking, he bowed slightly in the direction of the auction area.

Hearing Fang Qingbo's words, some people who knew the inside story didn't react, but people like Gu Cheng who didn't know were a little surprised.

You must know that the fame of the four major auction houses of Christie's, Sotheby's, Guardian and Poly is world-renowned.

It is precisely because of this that these four auction companies cherish feathers and rarely participate in external auctions, and now they are willing to come out to endorse this supercar festival, which can be regarded as adding a guarantee to this auction, which invisibly adds a bit of force, and it is not braggadocio to say that the name of Christie's alone is enough to increase the bidding price by a few points.

Looking at everyone's reactions, Fang Qingbo also smiled slightly.

This is what he wanted, and since the goal was achieved, he did not whet everyone's appetite, directly announced the start of the auction, and began to introduce the first supercar.

"The first one, the limited collector's edition Sjuker C8 Double 12S!

This supercar may not be the best in the world in terms of performance, but in terms of collectible value, it is enough to be among the best, and there are only 15 units in the world, which is hard to find in the whole world! ”

Later, it was the professionals who began to explain the performance of this C8 Double 12S.

Gu Cheng leaned back on his seat, his face expressionless.

For this car, he didn't have the slightest heart, no other reason, just because this car also has a nickname, called "one of the top ten ugliest supercars".

The auctioneer is right, the collectible value of this car is very high, and the market value has been steadily appreciating since it was released for so many years, but the reason why Gu Cheng likes supercars is very superficial, is because of the cool appearance of all kinds of supercars, after all, he didn't buy a car for investment.

However, Gu Cheng didn't feel it, it didn't mean that others didn't feel it.

After the introduction, auctioneer Fang Qingbo said with a smile: "I announce that the first lot of this auction, the Sage C8 Double 12S, is officially opened!" The reserve price is 5.8 million, and each price increase is not allowed to be less than 200,000. ”

When the bidding began, someone immediately began to raise signs and shout prices.

"6 million!"

"6.2 million!"

"6.5 million!"

Perhaps because it is a collector's car, the bidders' bids are very restrained, and each time they hovers back at the level of the lowest price increase.

The imaginary sky-high price scene did not appear, and this Sage C8 Double 12S was finally auctioned by a middle-aged man in his forties at a price of 7 million.

Qin Xiaoman's live broadcast room also broke through the peak again because of this auction, the real number of people exceeded 100,000, and the popularity also exceeded 30 million, becoming the most popular anchor in this time period.

"That's it? I thought it was a lot of bulls, but it turned out to be only 7 million? ”

"That guy above, do you have any misunderstanding about 7 million? This is 7 million, not 700 yuan! My monthly salary is 3,000, even if I don't eat or drink, I have to start from the Qing Dynasty to make up 7 million! ”

"This kind of ugly sports car that breaks through the sky can also be sold for 7 million, and sure enough, poverty limits my imagination."

"Why didn't Jiuhuang bid? It's not in line with the identity of Shenhao! ”

With the rolling of the barrage in the live broadcast room, the second lot supercar was unveiled.

"The second lot, the Aston Martin One77!

An aristocratic supercar from the UK! Whether it's collectible value, performance and appearance, and a series of other factors, it can be at the top! The global limited edition is 77 units, and the first quota in China is 5 vehicles, and the second quota is 3 vehicles, and this one is one of them.

And I need to inform all distinguished guests that all the quotas of the Aston Martin one77 have been fully allocated, that is to say, the last three are the final song of this model, and now I announce the official start of auction, with a reserve price of 23 million, and each price increase shall not be less than 200,000! ”

The price of 23 million is already sky-high!

After Fang Qingbo announced the start of the auction, no one immediately started bidding as just now, but it seemed a little cold.

At this moment, Gu Cheng raised his hand slightly, and said in a loud voice: "25 million." ”

As soon as the words fell, Fang Qingbo hurriedly glanced at the list of bidders, and immediately repeated to everyone: "25 million!" Mr. Gu, the No. 8 bidder, bid 25 million! Has anyone continued to increase the price?! ”

Fang Qingbo repeated the important figure of 25 million while saying some seductive words, hoping to arouse the desire of other bidders to buy.

Auctioneers, it's their job to use words to raise the bidding price.

A young man sitting several positions behind Gu Cheng stared at Gu Cheng's back and pondered slightly, he was also a local rich second generation in Shanghai, although he was not present the night two days ago, Gu Cheng's reputation had already spread all over the Shanghai circle in the past two days.

What he was thinking about now was whether it was worth competing with Gu Cheng.

It's not that I'm afraid of offending Gu Cheng because of this, after all, the rules of any auction are like this, whoever has more money has a big fist, if you are really afraid of offending anyone, then simply don't hold an auction, just choose who has the best background among the bidders, and then sell the lot to that person.

What he was thinking about was whether he had the capital to compete with Gu Cheng.

After all, his bottom line price for this Aston Martin one77 is 30 million, if the auction is doomed to fail before it starts, why should he put up this face?

However, after hesitating for a while, he still chose to bid.

He really liked the car, and if he didn't give it a try, he really wouldn't be willing.

A tentative price increase was then quoted.

"26.5 million!"

"26.5 million! Mr. Sun, the No. 49 bidder, increased the price by 500,000! Is there anything higher? ”

Hearing that someone had raised the price, Gu Cheng was not surprised, and still sat calmly, not even interested in looking back to see who was bidding with him.

Before Fang Qingbo could continue to speak, he spoke again: "30 million." ”

"Wow!"

With the end of Gu Cheng's offer, the audience in the visiting area suddenly whispered in amazement, although they can be suppressed, the sound is not too loud, but the exclamation of hundreds of people in unison is not small.

The rich second generation sitting in the No. 49 seat had just finished raising the price, and before he could sit down, the expression on his face was suddenly embarrassed...

He thought that Gu Cheng would continue to increase the price, but he didn't expect Gu Cheng to increase it by 3.5 million at one time, which just made the price at his psychological price of 30 million.

For a time, the rich second generation of No. 49 was in a dilemma.

He can get the money to continue to increase the price, but he doesn't know that Gu Cheng will not follow after he continues to bid, if the two continue to top the bull, it will exceed the true value of this Aston Martin one77, and at that time, except for the auctioneer's smile, whoever finally auctions this car will be a loser.

Even if he finally shoots it, he will have to lose millions of dollars.

After all, not everyone has a plug-in like Gu Cheng, and they don't take millions seriously.

After thinking about it for half a minute, he still chose to give up the bidding, after all, he said that he had money, but he was not sick, so it was better to sell face to Gu Cheng.

With the bidder at position 49 giving up, Fang Qingbo continued to induce bids on the stage for almost a minute, and still no one chose to increase the price.

Seeing this, Qin Chen, who was sitting in the position of the organizer, smiled and said to Yuan Zhen: "If nothing happens, this car should have been taken by Gu Cheng." ”

“?”

Looking at Yuan Zhen's doubts, Qin Chen explained: "Just like what I just said to Gu Cheng, the actual value of this Aston Martin One77 is about 30 million, this truth is not only clear to me, but also to others."

And Gu Cheng pulled the bidding price to the highest at one time, which embarrassed those who originally wanted to bid, I have to say that Gu Cheng's hand is really beautiful. ”

After speaking, he added: "But this is Gu Cheng, if it is replaced by someone else, maybe others will continue to bid even if they have a premium of one or two million."

But who made him the grandson of Old Man Gu, others will more or less give some face. ”

Yuan Zhen listened to Qin Chen's explanation, and also nodded, the second generation of the little rich is also the second generation of the rich, and he also understands the little bends in the circle.

Status, in a certain case, is wealth.

In the case of him Yuan Zhen, even if he really had the money to take pictures of this car, he might have to spend two or three million more, but Gu Cheng's simple identity saved Gu Cheng two or three million, this is the difference.
