28 Chapter 28

Although Huo Fenghua didn't look out the window, he knew that as long as Xiao Ri participated, the snake's head would definitely cause a fierce bidding, and if the originally worthless collection was intentionally guided, it would definitely fetch a sky-high price.

He is not willing to pay a sky-high price.

The head of the snake was originally something in our country, but it was lost overseas in 1860, and if it returned according to the normal, it would not cost much money, after all, the head of the snake did not have much collection value in the international collection market.

But for this thing to appear on the territory of our country, the head of the snake increases patriotism and national feelings.

Huo Fenghua is sure that Caltex and Big Ed temporarily participated in the joint auction, because they knew that they were coming, they had themselves on the field, and there was a small day, so they would debut the snake's head as the finale.

This is intended to compete with the snipe and the clam and the fisherman to profit.

Huo Fenghua wanted to understand this, his eyes sharpened, and the momentum of his body was also a little overwhelming.

"Mr. Huo, can't you buy the snake's head with the auction house in private?"

Zhao Anguo, who was sitting on the side, frowned and asked, he just glanced out the window, and could feel the movement of the two windows next door, and he clearly knew that the people in those two windows were Xiaori.

"Can't!"

Huo Fenghua answered categorically.

Caltex and Big Ed are both well-known auction houses in the world, with operations all over the world, which means that unless you negotiate with the executive director of the auction house before the auction starts, you can buy in advance.

They got the news too late, and they didn't even get to see the executive directors of the two auction houses, and even he couldn't do anything after the collection had already gone through the auction process.

There are also rules for the auction house.

"It's all our fault, we're late, if we arrive early, Mr. Huo won't be so embarrassed." This time it was the only woman on the scene who spoke, Feng Baiman,

When Feng Baiman spoke, his gaze stayed on Huo Fenghua's face.

Huo Fenghua did not answer, but pondered.

It's not that he didn't leave a backhand this time, but if the snakehead enters the auction process, after the price changes, he will be very passive even if he has a backhand.

If only someone could stop the auction of the snakehead.

Huo Fenghua was looking forward to problems during the auction process, and in the hall, Shen Lingyun was also thinking.

According to later records, the snake head has never appeared, and she doesn't know if this appearance is due to the butterfly effect, or if the time and space she is in at this time and the time and space she has stayed in later generations are originally two spaces.

Xiao Ri appeared at this auction, and Shen Lingyun was sure that the other party was running for the head of the snake.

The head of the snake is of great significance to our country, but it is not of much meaning to the small day, they want to grab the head of the snake, they must want to use the head of the snake to be unfavorable to our country, maybe it is used to suppress the national fortune.

Shen Lingyun knew that Xiao Ri was actually very superstitious.

No, you can't let Xiao Ri participate in this auction, the first price of the three bronze heads in 85 years is only 1,500 US dollars, and even if it is an auction after 87 years, the highest transaction price is only 250,000 US dollars.

"Eldest sister, is there a way to make the follow-up auction not go on." Shen Lingyun asked Cao Huili in a low voice.

Whether it is the original owner or herself, she is not very clear about the auction process at this time, and on the premise of not wanting to spend more money, she

I'm going to find another way.

"You can't force it, unless it's an unsuccessful auction, and no one bids on the lot, and the auction is unsuccessful." Cao Huili revealed the only possibility to Shen Lingyun.

"Then I guess it won't be a bad sale."

Shen Lingyun's face turned cold.

Xiao Ri looks ready to come, even if they don't bid here, Xiao Ri will bid, as long as Xiao Ri bids, she is bidding or not, if she doesn't bid, it's not cheap, but if it's bidding, it's sky-high.

"Mrs. Huo, don't you want to open your mouth in a small day?"

Bao Yingyi's subtle voice came from the side in time.

"Do you have a way?" Shen Lingyun looked at Bao Yingyi.

"Yes!"

Bao Yingyi really nodded.

"No matter what method you use, hurry up and implement it, and count me as owing you a big favor." Time was pressing, Shen Lingyun had already heard the host start to quote the auction price, and he didn't have time to figure out Bao Yingyi's method, so he urged the other party to deal with it.

"Then I'm here to spread the word immediately, please don't participate in the auction from everyone present."

Cao Huili saw that Shen Lingyun really wanted to let the snake's head shoot and help directly.

With the family background behind her and Wang Ruxue, everyone present will still sell their face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, this snake head bronze statue on the field is the finale of this auction, in order to express the apology of the temporary joint auction, after the discussion of the executive directors of the three auction houses, we have set a starting price for this snake bronze to thank everyone."

Macaulay's gaze slowly swept over the faces of everyone in the audience, eventually landing on the windows on the second floor.

He knew that the grand finale was upstairs.

Macaulay's voice was heard by everyone, but no one spoke, and everyone's expressions were calm.

Just now, everyone in the hall reached a consensus to let this snake head, which represents the humiliating history of Huaguo, be auctioned, as long as it is auctioned today, patriots can get this snake head by other means.

"Guests, the starting price of this snake bronze is 5,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 Hong Kong dollars each time."

Eventually, Macaulay quoted a price that shocked everyone.

Buzz.

Whether it was downstairs or upstairs, there was a lot of discussion.

Everyone really couldn't control their emotions, and they were really curious and surprised that the finale lot was only priced at 5,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Macaulay and Doyle were so pleased with the shaking of the auction room that they looked at each other and saw excitement and excitement in their eyes, and they expected that the fierce competition was about to begin.

One minute passes, five minutes passes......

Except for the chatter that slowly stopped, there was no bidding either upstairs or in the hall.

The ultra-low starting price of 5,000 did not have a single bidder!

The people in the hall don't speak, why don't the people on the second floor speak?

Macaulay and Doyle were surprised and shocked, at this time they all wanted to fly to the third, five, window to see what was going on inside, why didn't they open their bids.

Isn't it inevitable!

Xiao Ri didn't open his mouth to bid, Shen Lingyun breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Bao Yingyi a thumbs up, it was really amazing that the other party could solve such a problem on this occasion.

"What did you do?

Is it? ()”

Shen Lingyun asked Bao Yingyi in a whisper, and Cao Huili's eyes also fell on Bao Yingyi's face.

Facing a few pairs of curious and beautiful big eyes, Bao Yingyi's face suddenly became hot, but fortunately, the light in the hall was not particularly bright, and he was not embarrassed.

"Is there anything inconvenient to say? ()γ€ŽCome[]&See the latest chapter&Full chapter』()"

Shen Lingyun's mind moved, and she guessed a possibility.

"I had people give laxatives to boxes three and five." After Bao Yingyi finished speaking, he added, "In the wine, they like to drink in the little days, and the wine is brought by themselves, and it has nothing to do with everyone." ”

Where had Shen Lingyun heard such powerful words, and there was already a reverie in their minds.

At the same time, frowning, everyone has the ambition to stay away from Bao Yingyi together.

Bao Yingyi: "......" Dele, he has no credit.

Shen Lingyun and a few people downstairs figured out the situation, and Huo Fenghua in the No. 7 box upstairs was also a little surprised, he was thinking about whether to bid, and if he didn't bid, the snake's head would be unauctioned.

Even if you get it secretly after the auction, it will cost a lot of money.

"Ten thousand!"

Just as Huo Fenghua grabbed the sign on the side, there was a domineering bidding sound downstairs.

On the stage, Macaulay and Doyle have been keeping an eye on the passage of time, from the starting price of the snake's head to the unsuccessful auction, it takes fifteen minutes, and in the process, sensing that the snake's head may be unsold, the two have actively introduced and boasted about the collection for fourteen minutes.

In other words, if there is no one to bid for one minute, the collection will be unsold.

Macaulay and the others were ready to be unsold, but at the last minute, it was indeed said that it should be the last thirty seconds, and someone raised their cards to bid.

"This lady bids 10,000 yuan, is there a higher price, if not, this collection from the Huaguo Palace will belong to this lady."

Macaulay presided over the auction as he followed the process as he looked at a few windows on the second floor.

Whether it was the three, five, or seven that he had high hopes for, they were all quiet.

"Ten thousand, one time!"

Macaulay's heart was bleeding, he really didn't expect that under his auspices, there would be such a low transaction price.

Such a transaction price not only lowered his grade, but also made him the object of ridicule from his peers in the future.

"Ten thousand, twice."

Macaulay raised the gavel reluctantly.

On the second floor, whether it is box No. 3 or box No. 5, the people inside are struggling to raise their cards, but their strength really does not allow them to make such difficult movements.

"One hundred thousand...... I'll give 100,000! ”

"I ...... I'm out ...... One...... A million, a million! ”

The sound of faint gnats rang out in the boxes of No. 3 and No. 5 at the same time, but their voices were so subtle that they could not be heard outside the window, not to mention the others in the box.

In the seventh box, hearing the domineering bidding sound downstairs, Huo Fenghua's hand that grabbed the sign not only relaxed his strength, but even the sign was put down by him.

"Mr. Huo, there is no bidding on a small day, why don't we bid?"

Feng Baiman looked at Huo Fenghua in surprise, seeing that the host of the hall downstairs was about to ring the gavel, she didn't care if it was rude or not, and her hand reached out to the competition belonging to the seventh box

() Price tags.

They brought a lot of money to Xiangjiang this time, and they definitely wanted to take down the snake's head.

Otherwise, they won't be able to account to the organization.

Before the start of filming, Feng Baiman had not completed the task when he did not photograph the national treasure Doucai Chicken Cup, and if he didn't photograph the snake's head, their trip to Xiangjiang this time would really be in vain.

"The bidder is my wife."

Huo Fenghua said slowly when Feng Baiman raised the bidding board and was about to bid.

Feng Baiman silently put down the bidding card: "......"

In the hall, Macaulay and Doyle kept their eyes on the upper floor, and when the bidding sign flashed in window seven, the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

They waited for the guests in Box Seven to bid.

But more than ten seconds passed, and the sound did not come.

"I said host, if you don't announce the sale, you will break the rules of the auction house, according to the rules, you have to compensate me, in addition to giving away this collection for free, you have to apologize to me."

Shen Lingyun's sarcastic voice sounded crisply in the hall.

If the auction house dares to temporarily unite and temporarily change the collection, don't blame her for not speaking well.

Macaulay and Doyle's old faces turned red in Shen Lingyun's sarcasm, and the two had presided over the auction for most of their lives, and this was the first time that they had been ridiculed so mercilessly in public.

They can't find anything wrong with it.

"Sorry, ma'am, it was my mistake to give you a bad experience, forgive me." Macaulay was fairly steady, said

After apologizing, he immediately knocked down the gavel in his hand, "Ten thousand thirteen times, deal!" ”

"Congratulations, congratulations to Mrs. Huo for photographing Xinyi's collection."

As the gavel sounded on behalf of the successful transaction, countless people stood up to congratulate Shen Lingyun.

"Mrs. Huo, congratulations, congratulations."

Countless hands representing friendship also stretched out to Shen Lingyun.

"Thank you for your help, thank you, thank you, one day I will be the east, please come to the house for dinner." Shen Lingyun shook them back one by one, the reason why she was able to shoot the snake's head so smoothly today really depended on everyone's humility.

The hall was harmonious, and the upstairs was silent because of the snake's head.

Especially Box Seven.

Feng Baiman and Zhao Anguo both looked at Huo Fenghua in shock.

"Mr. Huo, is Mrs. Zun your arranger?" Zhao Anguo and the others arrived in Xiangjiang in a very hurry, and when they didn't have time to carry out other work, they contacted Huo Fenghua as soon as possible.

Although Huo Fenghua is the richest man in Xiangjiang, he is a mainlander.

The reason why they were able to let Huo Fenghua help this time was also because they brought tokens and letters.

Grandma Huo Fenghua's handwritten letter.

Feng Baiman's face was also intertwined with excitement and excitement at this time, she remembered Shen Lingyun's voice, that voice was very good, and she had fought with her for the Doucai Chicken Cup.

"No, my wife is not my arranger, she doesn't know that I'm coming to the auction, I don't know how to explain it to her in order to help you, if she knows that I'm not with her at the auction, I guess I'll have to kneel on the washboard when I go home."

Huo Fenghua directly denied the speculation of Zhao Anguo and Feng Baiman.

"......" The smiles on Feng Baiman and Zhao Anguo's faces froze, they thought that they had completed the task smoothly, but none of the tasks were completed, and they were even shown affection by Huo Fenghua.

What kneeling washboard, the ghost believes it, even if there is one, it is estimated that it is the 'boudoir fun' between the husband and wife!

"My wife bought the collection, and I can't be the master."

Huo Fenghua saw that Zhao Anguo and the two did not speak, and directly stated his position.

Zhao Anguo, Feng Baiman: "......" let them start the topic!

"My wife's man is not very talkative, and she doesn't have a good temper." Huo Fenghua then introduced Shen Lingyun to the two, "But she is very smart, very rational, and has a pure heart." ”

Although Huo Fenghua has not been in contact with Shen Lingyun for a long time, he can see Shen Lingyun's nature from the other party's words and deeds.

"Mr. Huo means that we should communicate with your wife ourselves?" Zhao Anguo first understood what Huo Fenghua meant.

Huo Fenghua nodded slightly.

He didn't dare to touch his wife's moldy head, his wife was angry with him last night, and he hadn't coaxed anyone yet, if he helped Zhao Anguo and the two come forward again, it was estimated that his wife would be angry for half a year.

"Then please ask Mr. Huo to arrange for us to meet with Mrs. Zun?" Zhao Anguo didn't plan to waste time, and they were relieved to complete the task early.

"I'll have to ask for advice."

Huo Fenghua didn't have a big package.

Secretly came to the auction house today, he didn't know if he would be understood by explaining to his wife, he had to appease his wife before he could help Zhao Anguo and the others.

Zhao Anguo and Feng Baiman were shocked by Huo Fenghua's words again.

As far as they know, Huo Fenghua is not only vigorous and resolute in the shopping mall, but even his style of acting is extremely domineering, such a person, it is hard to imagine that he is a 'strict wife' at home.

Too surprised, too shocked.

Feng Baiman couldn't help but say: "Mr. Huo, you are too ...... in front of your wife" She couldn't say the rest of the words, mainly because she really said it, but it was just a slap in the face.

"My wife, I'm willing to spoil."

Huo Fenghua was not embarrassed at all, as if he didn't think there was anything wrong with his wife's strict discipline.

He bowed his head in front of his wife, but he did not bow his head outside.

Feng Baiman's face flushed, "Mr. Huo, your relationship with your wife is so good, I wish you eternal happiness." Coming from the mainland, she was still very uncomfortable with Huo Fenghua's straightforward way of speaking, but she still expressed her respect in time.

"Mr. Huo, I admire you."

Zhao Anguo stood up and shook hands with Huo Fenghua.

"There's the last lot, whether we're going to leave now or we're going to leave when it's over." Huo Fenghua listened to the last auction taking place outside the window and asked Zhao Anguo's opinion.

"Let's get out of here first."

Zhao Anguo and Feng Baiman glanced at each other, the two of them didn't plan to stay any longer, first, the lots they needed had already been auctioned, and if they stayed for a minute longer, they might be troubled by the little day next door.

Since they were young, they couldn't bid in time, and the two guessed that things were not simple.

"Boss."

Just as the three of them were discussing leaving, Luo Rongliang, the captain of the Huo family's bodyguards, pushed the door in, and then walked quickly to Huo Fenghua's side and whispered, "Bao Yingyi's people gave laxatives to No. 3 and No. 5. ”

Huo Fenghua: "......"

He did keep a back hand, but the back hand was about the small day company, at this time the two small day companies were suffering from financial siege, according to his estimates, a few minutes earlier

It should pay off.

Unexpectedly, Bao Yingyi's moves were much more damaging than his.

"It's Madame who asked Bao Shao to make a move." Luo Rongliang secretly glanced at Huo Fenghua's face, and then reported the key content.

Huo Fenghua knew that he couldn't leave now.

He has dealt with Xiao Ri in the mall and knows what a group of shameless people this is, whether there is evidence or not, as long as they want to bite people, they will turn right and wrong upside down.

These tricks are all about the power of blame.

"By the way, boss, I just met someone with a small bag." Luo Rongliang looked at Huo Fenghua with a slight heart.

Huo Fenghua raised his hand and slapped Luo Rongliang's shoulder.

"I hid it very well, but when I explored the third and fifth boxes, I didn't expect that the people with few bags were also there." Luo Rongliang felt quite wronged.

"Forget it, go and ask Madame to come up." Huo Fenghua commanded.

"Yes."

Luo Rongliang led the task.

"Forget it, I'll go by myself, you take care of the safety of the two guests." Huo Fenghua finally planned to meet Shen Lingyun by himself.

Dressing up, he opened the door and went downstairs.

"Comrade Zhao, is Mr. Huo a little nervous?" Feng Baiman felt a slight stiffness from Huo Fenghua's back.

Luo Rongliang's gaze instantly stayed on Feng Baiman's face.

His ears are very sensitive, no matter how soft Feng Baiman's voice is, he can also hear that the boss is being discussed in front of him, and he has the responsibility to protect his employer.

"Forgive me, Xiaofeng is young and ignorant, I'm sorry." Zhao Anguo is an 'old revolutionary' in his early forties, and he understands the world more sophisticated than Feng Baiman, who is only in his early twenties, and he noticed something wrong from Luo Rongliang's sight and immediately apologized.

"You can say this in front of your boss, but it's best not to say it behind your back."

Luo Rongliang suggested.

"Okay."

Zhao Anguo smiled a little embarrassed, and it was Feng Baiman who was even more embarrassed than him.

Feng Baiman really didn't expect Luo Rongliang's ears to be so sensitive, she was already very quiet when she spoke just now, "I'm sorry." Since the mistake was brought up by Luo Rongliang, of course she also needs to apologize.

Luo Rongliang nodded slightly, and then looked away.

Don't look at the three of them in this box, but there are many people secretly guarding around the box.

Although the public security government in Xiangjiang is vigorously rectifying, at present, the results are still cautious.

Rich people can only add bodyguards to maintain their own security.

In the auction hall, the last lot was the last Italian empress, Marie? Joseph's emerald and diamond necklace, the entire necklace is made of 50 emeralds and many diamonds. (Note 1)

Under the light, this lot is dazzling, and because of the celebrity effect, in addition to its high value, it is also collectible.

From the moment the lot was put on the stage, there were many people who were interested.

Today's auction started at its peak, with the finale being sold at the lowest bid, saving the auction money and protecting its reputation, with the last lot temporarily replaced.

Sure enough, the last lot came on the market, and the atmosphere was enthusiastic.

Especially the women present have a preference for jewelry, everyone is gearing up, and even Cao Huili and Wang Ruxue are focused on the stage.

"Sisters, one last shot

products, we don't give in to each other, whoever likes it will shoot, and we will get the highest price. This is Wang Ruxue's voice, which shows that she really likes this necklace.

"I'll see it."

Cao Huili and several people responded.

are all favorites, in order not to wronged anyone, and for the sake of fairness, simply follow the oldest method, and the one with the highest price will get it.

Shen Lingyun was also moved.

The price of this lot was one of the most expensive items of jewellery in later generations, which shows its monetary and collectible value.

She originally thought that everyone liked it, whether she had to be humble and humble, but when she heard the words of Wang Ruxue and the others, she was immediately overjoyed.

She took one billion out today, and the two lots she took before cost less than 30 million, so she could spend another 100 million to buy the necklace.

With confidence, Shen Lingyun waited for the auction.

"Mary, the last Empress of Italy? Joseph's emerald diamond necklace starts at $100,000, with a minimum increase of $50,000. "Macaulay was not ordinary as soon as he exported, and all the previous lots started in Hong Kong dollars, but this last lot was actually in US dollars.

In the 80s, the exchange rate between the US dollar and the Hong Kong dollar was not as close to 1 to 10 as it is now.

In other words, 100,000 US dollars is almost 1 million Hong Kong dollars.

The auction price was not low, but it couldn't stand the number of people who liked it, and after a while, the bidding price climbed to $1 million, and by this time, there were fewer bidders.

Cao Huili, who had not yet spoken, joined the auction at this time.

Shen Lingyun didn't speak, she waited for the right time to bid again.

Just as the price of the lot climbed to two million, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "Five million." ”

Five million cooled everyone's blood.

Everyone's eyes also moved to the voice.

It's Huo Fenghua.

Huo Fenghua held up the sign and quoted the price, and it was raised by three million at once.

Five million US dollars is 50 million Hong Kong dollars, and everyone feels that Huo Fenghua's wealth is rich and inevitable.

This is the end of the auction.

Cao Huili and Wang Ruxue didn't expect to jump out of Huo Fenghua, a guy who 'stirred up the situation', looking at Huo Fenghua who was walking closer, everyone smiled enviously at Shen Lingyun.

It feels good to have someone pet, but it is also very envious, jealous and hateful!

Shen Lingyun's eyes narrowed slightly, how could Huo Fenghua be in the auction room.

Thinking of the tall figure that flashed by the window on the second floor before, Shen Lingyun's eyes focused on the sign in Huo Fenghua's hand, and sure enough, there was a big 7 number written on it.

In other words, thanks to Huo Fenghua's blessing, she spent tens of millions more to shoot the Doucai Chicken Cup!

Shen Lingyun understood this, and a raging flame quickly ignited in her eyes.

Huo Fenghua looked at Shen Lingyun's smart eyes, and his heart, which had never panicked, suddenly pounded and ......!
