Linhai's recognized leader in the entertainment industry is the owner of the city's largest bar chain, Wei Yixiao.

He had an unsuccessful son named Wei Fuguang.

Because of such a son, he was dragged to participate in a small auction near the sea.

If he does not participate, his son will disown him from father and son.

In fact, this is a good thing for him, but he also has a father, who is next generation from Wei Fuguang, if he doesn't come, his father will also cut off the father-son relationship with him.

That can only pinch the nose.

Along the way, Wei Fuguang kept telling the old man of the Wei family how different this auction would be, and it would definitely not be as boring as the ones he participated in before.

In this regard, Wei Yixiao scoffed.

As a fairly successful entrepreneur, he has participated in many large auctions.

There is no scene that is so ornamental as it is depicted.

Like this year's Sofubi Spring Auction, although he auctioned a sky-high price of 294 million Ru kiln, he did not feel any tension and excitement at the scene.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? A slap in the face? Inexistent.

Just hearing the antique dealers and art institutions keep quoting out, people can't help but feel sleepy.

"I hope this auction can end soon, and I made an appointment to play mahjong in the evening."

Wei Yixiao thought so in his heart, took the number plate handed over by his son, and prepared to enter.

The staff took the No. 66 plate, checked the identity, and asked politely:

"Hello Mr. Wei, do you have a group?"

"Groups?" Wei Fuguang, who was at the back, came up: "Yes, we are a family, together." ”

"Is there any hidden benefit to forming a group to participate?"

The staff was stunned for a moment, shook his head to show that he didn't understand, and he pointed to the seat map and explained:

"Sorry, there's no benefit you said."

"But for this auction, in order to ensure that every customer has the best auction experience, we have divided the seats into four sections."

"Leek area, rich second generation area, rich generation area, ordinary area, you can sit freely according to your own situation."

"If you want to sit together as a family, it's best to go to the general area, where there are more empty seats, and the first three rows have a better view."

"You don't have to sit together." Wei Yixiao waved his hand: "I'll go to the rich generation area." ”

"Ahem, what about me?" Old Man Wei asked faintly in the back.

"Grandpa, you and I should go to the leek area, you like to play cultural games, it must be right to go there." Wei Fuguang said with great interest.

He is knowledgeable and knows where the atmosphere is good.

Wei Yixiao was overjoyed to be able to leave the two ancestors and grandchildren, he found a middle position in the rich generation area and began to look at the lot list.

One after another, people sat down one after another.

"Huh? Mr. Wei? ”

Someone next to him lowered his voice to greet Wei Yixiao, he raised his head and recognized the other party as the owner of a famous antique shop in Linhai.

One of the protagonists of the auction, the antique dealer, made an appearance.

The place where he appears is a bit strange, though.

"Why did you end up in person, isn't it usually commissioned by phone?" Wei Yixiao asked strangely.

The big customers of the auction house, such as the antique dealer, look in the VIP room and then call the broker below to make an offer.

How can anyone run to hold up a sign by himself?

"I don't know what happened this time." The owner of the antique shop shook his head and whispered to Wei Yixiao: "This time, Yongxing didn't invite us at all. ”

"I still saw someone promoting it in the circle of friends, and I knew that there was still this auction in Linhai."

"I asked in the circle, and those institutions that cooperated with Yongxing did not receive invitations, and a few of them came voluntarily like me."

When Wei Yixiao heard this, he looked around.

There was everyone on the scene, and there was even an anchor on the second floor.

But I really don't see any brokers who specialize in taking remote orders.

"Wait, it's all your own signs?" Wei Yixiao asked suspiciously.

"Isn't that right? This auction has the feel of the last century. ”

The owner of the antique shop raised the number plate in his hand, number 555, which came too late, this was the most auspicious number he could pick.

……

At the beginning of the auction, Ding Qiang, an auctioneer in a white suit, walked onto the stage and greeted everyone.

There were nearly 600 people in the audience, but only 88 lots were lots.

For these eighty-eight pieces, after Zhang Yang and Master Wang discussed, they took out a part of the collection of the Hailin Museum and supplemented the number reached.

Compared with the number of people on the scene, there are more monks and less porridge, and they don't worry about selling at all.

"Now let's start the display of Lot 1, please look at the big screen."

On the screen, a familiar handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please allow me to introduce to you the opening work of this auction, the Ming Dynasty ivory carving lady ......"

"The fine ivory carvings in the late Ming Dynasty, even if the carpenter emperor himself came to carve them, it was at this level......"

The first is the heirloom ivory, and a treasure friend in the leek area shouted:

"Something is really punishing!"

"Hahaha~"

The scene suddenly resounded with joyful laughter.

"What's so funny about that?" Wei Yixiao asked the owner of the antique shop beside him.

The latter told him with a smile: "I don't know why others laugh, anyway, I think about it, many of my competitors have played with ivory." ”

"Then why are you laughing?" Wei Yixiao asked another friend beside him.

The other party also smiled and told him: "Maybe it's because my wife has given birth." ”

Wei Yixiao: "......"

After a 30-second short video, Lot 1 was introduced, and the atmosphere was fully lively.

Enter the exciting auction session right away.

[Starting price, 200,000!] 】

[No. 144...... What? Okay, No. 144 leeks bid 400,000! 】

Ding Qiang didn't expect that the buyers in the leek area had such individuality, but the customer is God, and the request to change the name must be met.

Wei Yixiao was stunned after hearing this.

Number 144, this number, he is so familiar.

Isn't that excited, holding up a sign exactly the "evil obstacle" in his own home?

What is it, will you auction it and double it when it comes up?

This time, it was the turn of the owner of the antique shop to take the initiative to ask Wei Yixiao: "Boss Wei, why is your son sitting there?" ”

"I heard that it's where Curator Zhang's personal friends sit."

"Isn't that what does this thing mean? Can you reveal a little bit about that? ”

"There's a." Wei Yixiao shook his head and said angrily: "I'm not familiar with him." ”

"Unfamiliar?" The owner of the antique shop nodded as if he didn't understand, and immediately raised the number plate in his hand.

This means: No. 555, a price increase of five thousand!

After he finished raising the price, he whispered to Wei Yixiao again:

"Boss Wei, you don't even have to tell me the reason, then this ivory card, I will follow within one million."

"There's really no reason, it's Wei Fuguang's own interest."

Wei Yixiao explained very seriously, but no one would believe this statement.

[No. 144 leek, 420,000]

[No. 555, bid 425,000]

[No. 144 leek, 500,000]

[No. 555, bid 505,000]

At this time, in the leek area, Wei Fuguang was communicating with his grandfather in a whisper.

He asked the old man, "Shall we add more?" ”

"Plus, up to a million."

"Why?" Wei Fuguang raised the card and asked: "I remember grandpa, you can only play, when did you understand ivory." ”

"I don't know about ivory, but I know auctions." Old Man Wei explained.

"The number 555 who is competing with you is sitting next to your father, he is the owner of the antique shop, if this brand is not worth the price, will he follow?"

"That's right......" Wei Fuguang nodded.

"Awe, your grandfather has a point."

Chen Yanguang stretched out a thumbs up from behind the Wei family and raised his number plate at the same time.

[No. 8 leek, bid 550,000! ] 】

When Wei Fuguang heard the auctioneer's words, he turned around in surprise:

", brother, you're backstabbing me?"

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm a normal business practice."

Chen Yanguang waved his hand and hugged his fiancée beside him.

"Look at your future sister-in-law, it's so beautiful, it's not too much to match a Ming Dynasty lady's card, right?"

"Not only did you backstab me, but you also stuffed dog food in my mouth? I can't bear ......," Wei Fuguang said solemnly.

[No. 144 leek, bid 555,000! ] 】

Many treasure friends in the leek area witnessed this scene.

Someone was muttering to his friends in private:

"Shall we bid?"

"I searched, this kind of ivory card of the Ming Dynasty, other auctions are sold for more than one million."

My friend replied, "I was still hesitating just now. But now, after the leek emperor made a move, I think it's better to forget it. ”

"After all, he didn't make any money when he bought things."

With three bids, the price of Lot 1 soon broke through the one million mark.

In the end, it was auctioned by Wei Fuguang at a price of 1.25 million.

[Congratulations to No. 144 leek, winning the first lot]

[Let's move on to the next lot, Kangxi six-character exclusive, blue and white general jar]

"Congratulations to Mr. Wei." The owner of the antique shop bowed his hand to Wei Yixiao beside him.

He withdrew from the bidding when he was 1 million, and in the end, the young people in the leek district and the rich second-generation district raised the price to each other, and it only reached 1.25 million.

"We've been friends for so long, tell me the truth, is this thing, this price, worth it?"

The wood is already in the boat, Wei Yixiao is not entangled, he is already thinking about how much money he will lose.

Looking at Wei Fuguang's excited appearance, he knew that this ivory card would definitely not be the last.

"If something is really from the Ming Dynasty, it will be worth this price." The owner of the antique shop replied: "Ivory is too difficult to preserve, and the price is naturally high if the age is high." ”

"I'm afraid that this thing is modern and old, so it's only worth a few thousand yuan."

"Just now, the organizer of this auction should be the deputy director of the Hailin Museum, didn't he say, isn't this thing authentic?"

Wei Yixiao recalled what Zhang Yang said in the introduction video.

"Really? Can the people of Yongxing Auction Company allow this to be done? ”

The owner of the antique shop thought this statement was a bit incredible.

He didn't watch the video carefully just now, because this ivory card was not on the pre-order list he made after seeing the preview yesterday.

At this time, in the introduction video of the second lot, Zhang Yang said something similar:

"This is a Kangxi celadon with a wide opening, and we guarantee the age of the lot."

Is it a verbal guarantee or a written guarantee?

The owner of the antique shop wanted to stand up and ask, but at this time, someone in the leek area was already holding up a sign again.
