Chapter Seventy-Two: The Auction
Time flies, since what happened to Luo Xi, Lao Wang has been honest for a long time, and he doesn't dare to go out and mess with flowers.
In the blink of an eye, the winter solstice has arrived, and according to custom, every household should eat dumplings today.
Su Qin didn't care about these things by herself, but Liu Ying and Bai Lei still said that they should have a festive atmosphere, so they still had to eat.
couldn't resist the two of them, since they wanted to eat, they would have a lively time together, and Su Qin called Lao Wang and Ye Kong to come to the tavern together.
In the evening, the tavern closes.
Everyone gathered in front of the dinner table, all kinds of dumplings with various fillings were placed on the plate, all of which were personally wrapped by Bai Lei and Liu Ying, of course, in addition, there were hot pots that other people wanted to eat, the weather was getting colder and colder, eating hot pot was undoubtedly the best choice!
All in all, a hearty dinner was prepared.
"Boss, what do you say?" Liu Ying poured Su Qin a drink.
"Huh? Do you eat and drink well? ”
Everyone cut in unison, mocking Su Qin's lack of words.
"I don't have much to say, I don't have big dreams in my own right." Su Qin didn't seem to care about everyone's ridicule, scratched his head and said with a smile.
"Do you have any wishes?"
"Me? Finding my parents as soon as possible and hoping that the people I care about and care about me are healthy, this is my greatest wish. ”
"It's cheesy!" Lao Wang complained.
"What about Uncle Wang? What are the wishes. Su Shan glanced at Lao Wang.
"Hey, me? Of course it is..."
"Don't listen, little ones!" Bai Lei stopped Lao Wang's dangerous speech in time, "Don't take the children badly!" ”
"That's it! Cheers! Suchin raised his glass.
The others also stood up, clinked glasses together, and drank it all!
Eat, eat, eat!
Soon, a table full of food was eaten.
The whole table was in a mess, making people look at it and shake their heads.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Lao Wang was afraid to ask himself to clean up, so he was about to slip away in a hurry, but was caught by Su Qin.
"Huh? What, you want to slip away after eating? ”
"No, no, I'm full, I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes, and I'll be back in a while."
Su Qin lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me, I'll go too." ”
Then he turned around and went back to the room, put Zhaocai in the pocket of his clothes, and slipped away with Lao Wang.
Only the others were left to clean up.
After Lao Wang went to a nearby cigarette shop to buy a pack of cigarettes, he was not in a hurry, but said to Su Qin: "Jin Rui, who I brought you to know last time, their Jin family is going to hold a gem appreciation meeting recently, and there will be many items auctioned after the end, it is said that there are not only gems, but also many strange things, are you interested in participating in it?" ”
Su Qin stopped and looked back in surprise: "What do you want me to do with this kind of thing?" ”
"Isn't this the flying sword still on me? You don't have the weapons you need to take advantage of, what if something happens? Maybe you'll have some treasures to use this time. ”
It turned out that Lao Wang had been thinking about Su Qin's flying sword given to him, and he always felt that he couldn't go, and he paid extra attention to similar information, and this time as soon as there was this news, he immediately came to tell Su Qin.
Su Qin thought for a moment and agreed.
After all, it's good to check it out, maybe you have what you need.
After getting Su Qin's answer, Lao Wang took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled a smoke ring.
"Then it's decided, I'll pick you up in two days."
"Okay, let's take a walk, I guess they are not fast, otherwise they will be busy when they go back." Su Qin took a step forward, and Zhaocai couldn't help but poke his head out of his pocket.
This little creature hasn't seen the outside world since he came out of the rock.
At this moment, when I saw the gorgeous and colorful world outside, I couldn't see it with a pair of small eyes, and I looked east and west curiously.
He is full of curiosity about all kinds of things.
Lao Wang also found the little things on Su Qin's body, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand to tease him, but was ruthlessly rejected by Zhaocai and made a grimace at him.
"Oops, this little one!"
"Su Qin, what kind of species is this Zhaocai?"
"You ask me, who do I ask?"
"Could it be some kind of natural xenomorph, the kind that is particularly powerful?" Su Qin's eyes widened, wondering if something was wrong with Lao Wang's thoughts?
"Look at a palm-sized cat, what can it do?" As if hearing that Su Qin was belittling it, Zhaocai screamed very dissatisfied, and waved his little paws, as if to say that he was actually very strong.
"Uh... As if you have a point. Lao Wang shook his head when he saw the gesture of Zhao Cai.
The two chatted with each other, and after an hour, the two of them went back.
...
...
...
The time has come for the Jin family to hold an appreciation meeting.
Lao Wang came to pick up Su Qin as promised, and the two drove to the location of the Jin family.
The venue for the appreciation was held in a private auction house owned by the Jin family.
What makes Su Qin feel special is that he is worthy of being in the jewelry business, and the entire decoration design is magnificent.
"Su Shao, Wang Shao, you are here!" Jin Rui greeted Su Qin and them at the door early, after all, he had invited them in advance this time.
The two nodded, and stood still.
"Today's conference is a feast for your eyes, you go in first, and I have arranged a box for you." Jin Rui said to the two of them, as the host of the Jin family, he naturally had to greet the other family representatives here.
The two of them, led by the servant, soon arrived at the box where they were.
The appreciation meeting and the auction hall were all placed in the same place, and Su Qin and the others were in Box No. 1 on the second floor.
The second floor is full of well-known dignitaries, and the first floor is the hall, where representatives of the media and enterprises invited to participate.
As for the third floor, there are the Jin family's own people and famous connoisseurs in the jewelry world.
In the box, you can see the outside through the window, but you can't see the people inside.
Of course, there is no need to worry about being too far away from the auction stage to see clearly, in each box, there is an ultra-clear projection, which is enough for the people in the box to see the quality of the goods on the stage.
As they entered the auction hall one after another, the auction hall was soon full.
"Lao Wang, I suddenly remembered a question."
"What?"
"Although you are the eldest and youngest of the Wang family, how much money can you have to auction?" Su Qin suddenly remembered that Lao Wang had only been involved in the management of the family for a long time, would he not have much power?
"Don't worry, today, all your consumption will be paid by my prince!" Lao Wang patted his chest proudly and said.
Su Qin was suspicious, and there was still some time before the auction, so Su Qin released Zhaocai and let it run around the room at will.
When the auction hall was almost all assembled, the host appeared in the middle of the stage.
"Welcome to our Jin family's appreciation auction, I believe everyone is in a hurry, then, don't talk nonsense, just start!" The host did not open too much to set off the atmosphere, but chose to start directly.
"So first of all, the first item is a piece of jadeite and jade with excellent color." The host waved his hand, and someone in the background put the jade jade on the plate and took it out.
Of course, Su Qin was not interested in these things, and he did not know how to appreciate them.
However, looking at the exclamations coming from the venue, it shows that this jadeite is really good.
Soon, with continuous bidding, the jade was finally won by a business CEO on the first floor.
The price is 10 million!
Su Qin couldn't help but be speechless, the things that rich people play with are really expensive.
"Then congratulations to this gentleman for getting our first object, followed by a sphinx made of pure gold."
Another item came out of the backstage, but it was heavier than the previous one, and it took eight people to lift it.
Rumble! On the ground, the stage seemed to shake.
"So, start bidding!"
"Good fellow, why did you buy this thing back? So heavy. Su Qin couldn't help but complain.
"Ten million!"
"Eleven million!"
As the numbers continued to increase, Su Qin had no interest in continuing to listen.
Lie comfortably on the couch, close your eyes and recuperate, waiting for something good to appear.
After that, Lao Wang took a few small things, worth millions of small objects, and I heard that he wanted to give them to his girlfriend.
Su Qin didn't have any idea about this.
Finally, after shouting out many auction items, Su Qin heard something that made him a little moved.
"The auction below is a strange stone excavated by our Jin family from the deep mountains..."The host paused for a moment.
On the first floor, many people asked impatiently, "What kind of stone is it, tell me about it." ”
"Hey, let's take a look." The backstage instantly presented the stone and placed it in the middle of the stage.
At first glance, it looks like it's just a dark black stone, but it's the size of a fist, and its appearance is ordinary, and there is nothing special about it.
There are many people who show disappointed eyes, that's it? I don't see anything special.
Seeing that many people were not interested in this auction item, the host had to say: "Don't look at this stone as mediocre, but it can withstand the power of the excavator without the slightest damage!" ”
"What?"
"How is that possible?"
"Isn't that harder than diamond!"
Everyone looked at each other in disbelief and expressed skepticism about the host's words.
It seems that hearing everyone's questioning voices, the host did not open his mouth to explain, but beckoned and motioned for the backstage people to come up.
I saw two people coming up in the background, one of them was holding a diamond, and the other was holding an electric drill.
Buzz!
The Jin family's special electric drill instrument drilled a hole in the diamond without much effort.
The man once again pointed the electric drill at the dark black stone, but this time, it had no effect for a long time.
Smack!
Instead, the drill bit of the electric drill is damaged, but the stone is still intact!
The audience went from the very beginning to the ear-to-ear, to the sudden quietness, and then to the final sudden outburst.
"This thing! Could it be some undiscovered ore? ”
"I want it!"
"Phew, you and I'll rob!"
The scene was chaotic for a while.
However, the host's words dispelled everyone's enthusiasm, "I believe everyone has seen how hard this thing is." ”
"I still advise everyone, this is both its advantages and its disadvantages, okay, the reserve price is 100,000." After that, the host stood and waited for someone to bid.
Everyone came back to their senses, yes, this thing is really hard, but it's not easy to forge the shape they want, so what's the use of buying it, not to mention that it's not worth too much price just because it's hard.
After a moment of silence, someone tried to shout the price.
"One hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
Although some people dispelled the idea, there are still people who want to buy it back and take a look, after all, the amount is not large, and it is okay to put it back and look at it.
just kept bidding, and before I knew it, the price also came to 700,000.
"700,000 once!"
"Seven hundred thousand twice!"
"Seven hundred thousand three times!"
Before the host's voice came out, he only heard a sound from the box on the second floor.
"A million!"
