Chapter 189: The Auction Begins

Chen Xu returned to his office, continued to turn on the computer, and fought the landlord. To be honest, he is still relatively idle in his manager's local area, and he has nothing to do except for a regular visit to the R&D department every day.

According to Mu Xiaoqing's report just now, it will probably be more than a week before his Chinese herbal health product can be officially mass-produced.

For the product being developed by the current R&D department, Chen Xu is naturally more assured, because after all, it is their exclusive formula of Chen's, and it is difficult to find similar products on the entire market.

Just chatted with me, the landlord who fought in the office all afternoon, and when it was time to get off work in the afternoon, Su Qingxue went to Chen Xu's office to inform Chen Xu that he was off work.

After returning home, Chen Xu simply ate a little dinner and fell asleep on the bed.

The next day, as usual, Chen Xu and Su Qingxue first went to the Su Group to report for arrival, and then went to the R&D department to prove his existence, Chen Xu went out, took a taxi and went straight to the antique market.

After arriving at the antique market, Chen Xu suddenly remembered that he had forgotten to sort out the acupuncture cheats he had promised Liu Fengyan yesterday, so he hurriedly called Liu Fengyan and made an appointment for tomorrow, after all, he didn't know when this auction would end.

When he arrived at Qi Lao's office, after Qi Lao saw Chen Xu coming, he went downstairs with him, and drove his old-fashioned Beetle car to follow Chen Xu straight to the Blue Ocean International Hotel.

Because he went to the 23rd floor with Su Qingxue to attend a dinner that night, Chen Xu is also familiar with the situation, and the difference from that day is that the 23rd floor this morning is even more lively than that day.

Qi Lao and Chen Xu had just walked to the door of the hall when they were stopped by two uniformed staff. Qi Lao smiled, he took out an invitation card from his body and handed it to the two staff members.

After the staff took a look, they put Chen Xu and Qi Lao in.

Hearing the venue, Chen Xu looked around at the layout of today's venue, which was roughly the same as the auction scene he saw on TV, with an auction table on one rostrum and rows of chairs below.

However, it was a little different from the situation at the cocktail party that day, there were many separate small rooms at the auction site this time, and Chen Xu estimated that this should be for those big customers.

Because Mr. Qi belongs to today's special experts, his treatment is much better than that of ordinary people, and Chen Xu also got a little light because of Qi Lao, and mixed into a small room.

Probably because they arrived too early, there were only a few staff members busy at the auction site. Looking at the time, it was just over nine o'clock, and the auction officially began at ten o'clock.

After the service staff saw that Qi Lao and Chen Xu entered a separate small room, they brought in two plates of fruit, Chen Xu was not polite, picked up an apple on the table, and took a big bite of it.

Notice that when you eat about three apples, the venue gradually starts to liven up.

Chen Xu found that everyone who entered the venue received a number plate at the door, and arranged their seats according to the number of the number plate.

Chen Xu thought that the purpose of his coming here today was to buy the bronze mirror, what if he couldn't bid for it when it came to the auction?

"Qi Lao, I want to ask, I didn't get a number plate for this, how should I call it when I ask for a price." Chen Xu couldn't help but ask Qi Lao.

Qi Lao smiled and said, "In a separate room like ours, the number of each room is equal to the number plate, do you see this red button on the table?" As long as you press it when bidding, it is equivalent to your bid. ”

Qi Lao has also participated in many well-known auctions, and he naturally knows the rules of these auctions, and every time he is a guest in a separate small room.

In the private room, Chen Xu chatted with Qi Lao for a while, looking at the time, it was almost ten o'clock now, and the auction was about to start.

Finally, through the small window of the room, I saw that the originally empty seats were already full of people.

This is an auctioneer in formal clothes who walked to the podium, and after saying some more official words, officially announced the official start of the auction.

Chen Xu's purpose in participating in the auction this time was just for the gossip bronze mirror, and he was not too interested in the rest.

The first auction item is a blue and white porcelain vase, according to the auctioneer, this is a blue and white porcelain from the official kiln in the Qianlong period, Qi Lao saw this collection and began to explain to Chen Xu.

Because he said it too professionally, Chen Xu didn't understand it at all, in short, he knew that this thing was very valuable.

Sure enough, after fierce bidding, this blue and white porcelain vase was finally auctioned by No. 15 at a price of 2 million.

Chen Xu ran the innate exercises in his body, and when he saw that this blue and white porcelain vase exuded a faint yellow gas, he sighed in his heart, it is worthy of this kind of large-scale auction scene, and everything is undoubtedly a fine product.

The second auction item is an ancient painting, Qi Lao saw this and began to introduce it to Chen Xu again, and the final transaction price of this painting was 800,000.

Chen Xu didn't care much about the items that would be auctioned next, because in his innate exercises, these things were all genuine, and there was also a detailed introduction by Qi Lao on the side.

In this way, after auctioning seven or eight pieces of the collection in a row, Chen Xu's long-awaited gossip bronze mirror was finally placed on the auction table, and the auctioneer standing on the stage began to introduce the origin of several bronze mirrors.

"This is the eighth auction item in our auction today, this is a bronze mirror in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, the shape is simple and fine, and the preservation is relatively good, friends who are more interested in this kind of product can auction it, the reserve price is 20,000 each time the price is 2,000, and the auction will start now."

Because Chen Xu had already been at Qi Lao's place in advance, he knew the market price of this bronze mirror, and the reserve price raised by the auctioneer was already much higher than the market price, and he originally thought that no one would bid for this copper mirror at all.

But Chen Xu didn't expect that when the auctioneer announced the official start of the auction, the bronze mirror was directly called to the price of 80,000 yuan by Room 2.

Chen Xu didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly pressed the red button on the table, and the price increased to 100,000, and now Chen Xu's worth is already tens of millions, even if the final price of this copper mirror soars to more than one million, it is just a small amount of money for him.

in auction room 2.

A middle-aged man in a suit and a leather collar stood respectfully behind a young man sitting at a desk, apparently the young man's assistant or secretary.
