Enter the venue.

The first floor is occupied by booths and regular seating.

On the second floor are private rooms, with a total of 12 rooms.

Except for Chen Xingxian and Gu Chen, each occupies one, and it is unknown who the owner of the rest of the boxes is.

"Anyone who is qualified to participate in this auction is basically a person with a head and a face."

"In addition to the local ones in Lin'an, there are also many cross-river dragons who came from other places."

Liu Hanyan plucked an orange and handed it to Gu Chen.

While the identity of each box owner is uncertain, it's certainly not to be underestimated.

"How many of these people do you think came for the Five Elements Elixir?" Gu Chen asked subconsciously.

"Not much, but definitely a lot."

Liu Hanyan confessed: "First of all, everyone who will never leak this news knows it, at least it must be people like you and me to be qualified to know." ”

"To put it mildly, Chen Shi is not stained with your light in the first place, and he may not be qualified to know."

It's not that she underestimates anyone, but there are some things, which are not at a certain level, and they are really not qualified to know.

Gu Chen nodded: "Looking at it this way, I don't want the Five Elements Elixir to be auctioned, otherwise I will definitely fight for the blood." ”

"Don't mess around!"

Liu Hanyan was a little nervous and said: "Don't think that the auction is held in Lin'an, you can do whatever you want, this is just someone's branch, and the real organizer behind it, even I can't inquire about it." ”

"If you don't have enough money, I can lend it to you, but don't get into trouble, I'll beg you."

She has a special identity, and to some extent, she also represents the Liu family, and she has to pay attention to her words and deeds at all times.

If she causes a big mess and passes it back to the Liu family, her fate will not be too good.

Being born in the Liu family is her luck and her misfortune.

"What do you think?"

Gu Chen smiled bitterly: "I'm not a robber who cuts the path, and I don't bother to do anything that kills people for money." ”

Liu Hanyan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled embarrassedly: "I'm just giving you a wake-up call." ”

Soon.

The auction has officially begun.

A female auctioneer wearing an OL costume walked up to the stage and said into the microphone: "Welcome to this auction, I am Ouya, the auctioneer of this auction, and I will introduce the rules to you first." ”

"Each guest has a markup at hand, and every time you press the blue button, you can increase the minimum bid, you can also manually enter the bidding amount, and press the red button to abandon the auction."

"In addition, for more than 30 seconds, no one continues to increase the price, which also means that the last bidder won the bid."

“……”

The rules are basically the same.

Gu Chen was not interested in listening, and looked around boredly.

Suddenly, his eyes froze, and in the front seat downstairs, he saw Chen Yuwei.

Sitting next to her were Chen Wantai and Li Junjie, and the two talked happily with each other, which was a little dazzling.

At this time, the first lot was already on the big screen.

"Painting the golden phoenix plum vase, the starting price is 300,000."

The depiction of the bottle, which is colorful and lifelike, is not only a collector's item, but also a beautiful work of art.

Soon, a round of bidding was triggered.

However, after all, it is only a few hundred years ago, and the historical value is greatly reduced.

After the bid reached 780,000 yuan, it basically couldn't be called.

Gu Chen was not interested in this, but Liu Hanyan watched it with relish.

Women are naturally full of affection for such flashy things.

"Boom!"

"Congratulations to VIP No. 17, with a price of 830,000 yuan, in the bag."

Ouya made the final decision three times.

Next, please submit the next lot......

The auction went smoothly and the value of the lot itself was basically sold.

But these are warm-ups, and the best is yet to come.

"Okay, the following lot, I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

"That's right, it's Master Qi Dedao's latest painting, the picture of spring rain in the cold mountains."

"In this auction, we are fortunate to invite Master Qi himself, and then let us use warm applause to invite Master Qi to the stage and briefly tell you about the creative experience!"

Ouya was the first to applaud as he spoke.

There was no shortage of admirers in the audience, and Chen Wantai bore the brunt of it, applauding very vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, an old man with a fairy wind bone, wearing a Taoist robe and holding his hair in a bun, walked to the stage accompanied by the staff.

"Thank you all for your enthusiasm."

"Actually, the creation of this spring rain picture is related to an experience I had a few years ago, you should see the figure sitting on the top of the cold mountain, right?"

"This picture is exactly the scene when I met my mentor at the beginning of that year, and it has been lingering in my mind."

"If it weren't for the guidance of my mentor, I wouldn't be where I am today."

"It's a pity that my teacher thought I was stupid and refused to see me again, so I drew him down as a memorial."

The more Qi Dedao spoke, the more excited he became, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

The following caused an uproar.

Ou Ya was afraid that the situation would get out of control, so she hurriedly asked Qi Dedao to go down.

But the discussion in the audience did not stop there.

"Master Qi even has a master?"

"And listen to the meaning of his words, his old man's master is still alive?"

"Damn, Master Qi is over seventy years old, isn't his master a hundred years old?"

"What's this, Master Qi's master must be a master in the world, eating and drinking, isn't it normal to live for a long time?"

The chatter from downstairs reached the box upstairs.

Gu Chen couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, resisting the urge to hit someone.

Liu Hanyan on the side noticed his abnormality, and couldn't help but have a bold guess in his heart, and said cautiously: "Master Qi said master, could it be you?" ”

With that in mind, let's look at the picture on the big screen.

Liu Hanyan felt more and more that the arrogance of that figure was exactly the same as Gu Chen.

But I always feel that something is missing, is it Gu Chen's uninhibitedness? Or frivolity? Or is it fearless?

"Don't mention him to me, I don't have such a rebel."

Gu Chen was angry: "I'm not dead yet, he will commemorate my paintings, forget about the paintings, what does it mean to take them out and sell them?" ”

"No, I didn't agree to accept him as an apprentice at all, it was he who recognized me as a master with a dead face!"

Liu Hanyan was amused by his appearance: "As for being so angry? Master Qi is the world's premier master, and being his master is not a grievance against you. ”

"I told you that you don't understand, his paintings can only be regarded as ordinary products, and they are okay in the eyes of ordinary people, but they are actually not on the table." Gu Chen didn't explain much.

There are some things that cannot be explained in a sentence or two.

inexplicably became someone else's master, which made him very depressed.

Meanwhile.

The auction has also entered a white heat, and the price has soared all the way to 10 million.

Even so, there is still an endless stream of people who increase the price.

"Fifteen million!"

"Eighteen million!"

"Twenty-two million!"

“……”

In an instant, it soared to 37 million, and there is an upward trend.

Chen Wantai sat in the front row, grinning his teeth, and pressed "40 million" ruthlessly.

He has been trading stocks unsmoothly recently, and his money is a little tight, and all his belongings are just over 50 million.
