Chapter 161: The Auction Begins
While the atmosphere on the second floor has become more harmonious, the situation on the first floor has quickly returned to normal.
Yi Bao Pavilion's manpower reacted quickly, and he had already cleaned up the corpses and bloodstains.
Although several people lost their lives, this did not affect the mood of others, and the atmosphere became more lively.
At this moment, the crowd in the hall gathered in groups of three or five, enthusiastically discussing what had just happened, and Jiang Tiangang's performance had undoubtedly left a deep impression on them.
…………
At Du's house, a business SUV was parked steadily outside the mansion.
"Miss, it's already here."
Uncle Ming in the driver's seat respectfully turned his head and looked at Ning Hongxiang, who was processing the documents.
Ning Hongxiang raised her head, glanced at the magnificent ancient mansion outside, and then put down the documents in her hand and prepared to get out of the car.
"Uncle Ming, just wait for me here, I'll just go in alone."
When Uncle Ming heard this, he hurriedly said worriedly:
"Miss, let me go with you! This time you are here to withdraw from the marriage, the Du family is now strong, if they take drastic actions, I will protect you as soon as possible. ”
Ning Hongxiang shook her head firmly:
"No need, I came with grandpa's instructions this time, so there shouldn't be a problem."
After speaking, she walked into the door of the Du family without hesitation.
Uncle Ming looked at her back, sighed helplessly, and then dialed Ning Rulong's phone.
"Master, Miss has already gone in."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Ning Rulong's voice came out:
"Protect Miss, if the Du family dares to make any moves, go find that person, you know?"
Uncle Ming's expression was grim, and he nodded solemnly:
"Understood, please rest assured."
…………
At the same time, in the private room on the second floor of Yi Bao Pavilion, Yang Zhizheng and Jiang Tian were chatting.
"Jiang Shao, it's really an honor for you to come to my Yibao Pavilion as a guest. However, this auction is just ordinary jewelry, are you also interested in it? Yang Zhi asked curiously.
Jiang Tian shook his head slightly, took a sip of tea and said, "I'm not interested." ”
Yang Zhi was even more curious: "Then who are you here this time?" ”
Jiang Tian glanced at him and said lightly: "It's just that I have nothing to do, just take a look." ”
Regarding the matter of the spirit stone, he naturally would not reveal half a word. It was something that all martial artists dream of, and the fewer people who knew about it, the fewer competitors he had.
When Yang Zhi heard this, he didn't think much about it, and nodded with a smile: "I see." ”
At this moment, a gong and drum sound came from the first floor, followed by a sonorous and powerful voice:
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction is about to begin, please take your seats as soon as possible!"
Jiang Tian followed the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a Mao suit standing on the booth on the first floor, who was the auctioneer of this auction.
Yang Zhi got up and said with a smile: "The auction is about to start, I won't bother Jiang Shao Yaxing, take a step back first." ”
Jiang Tian nodded and watched him leave.
After Yang Zhi left, Zhou Dafa finally breathed a sigh of relief. The conversation he had just had with the two Grandmaster powerhouses made him feel pressured, and he was full of awe for Jiang Tian at the moment.
"Jiang Shao, I really underestimated you."
Zhou Dafa wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Jiang Tian in awe.
Although he knew that Jiang Tian was a martial artist, he never expected that the other party would be a grandmaster-level powerhouse.
And from their conversation, it could be heard that Jiang Tian seemed to be from a certain sect on the mountain. This level of existence is like a heavenly being to him.
Jiang Tian glanced at him and asked lightly, "So what?" ”
Zhou Dafa laughed awkwardly and was about to speak.
"Distinguished guests, welcome to this auction. I am the auctioneer for this auction and here today we present you with a selection of exquisite jade treasures......"
At this time, the auctioneer's voice came from the hall on the first floor. The auction has officially begun!
Jiang Tian sat up slightly and looked at the hall below. I saw that the lights in the hall suddenly went out, and a spotlight hit the booth. When the red cloth was pulled open, a huge rough stone was revealed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this rough stone is a treasure that our Yi Bao Pavilion has obtained from the deep mountains. According to the rules, the competition of the rough stone is eyesight, so I won't go into too much detail. The auctioneer smiled and said, "The auction price of this rough stone starts at one million, and the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 yuan each time." Please start bidding! ”
As the auctioneer's voice fell, the hall fell into a brief whisper, and people seemed to be discussing whether to participate in the auction.
In the private room on the second floor, Zhou Dafa also looked at Jiang Tian with a serious expression and waited for his decision.
However, Jiang Tian just glanced at the original stone and shook his head: "Don't shoot." ”
Although this stone is guaranteed to be in stock, its value is only a guarantee at most, and it is not easy to make a lot of money from it.
Seeing this, Zhou Dafa immediately quieted down and said no more.
Below, the bidding is already in full swing.
A few minutes later, the rough was finally auctioned by a wealthy merchant from Hong Kong City for 2.7 million yuan.
The auctioneer smiled and walked up to the stage again and asked the wealthy businessman:
"Congratulations, would you like to cut on the spot?"
"Cut!"
Before the rich merchant could speak, the audience below had already begun to heckle.
Seeing this, the rich merchant had no choice but to nod and respond with a smile: "Then cut it!" ”
The auctioneer nodded in agreement, and then beckoned to call two professional cutters.
As soon as these two cutters came to the stage, they immediately attracted everyone's attention. Dressed in blue overalls, wearing heavy leather gloves, and holding professional cutting tools, they look unusually professional.
The auctioneer pointed to the rough and said to the rich merchant, "Please confirm the cutting line." ”
The rich merchant nodded, he carefully examined the rough stone, and then pointed to a place and said, "Just cut it here." ”
The cutter nodded in understanding, and then began to get busy. They first carefully drew the cutting line on the rough stone with chalk and then carefully began to cut along the line with a cutter.
The entire venue suddenly fell silent, and everyone stared with bated breath at every movement of the cutter.
The roar of the cutter echoed in the empty venue, and each cut seemed to be cut into the hearts of everyone.
After a long time, the cutter finally stopped the tool in his hand. They carefully separated the two cut stones and showed them to the crowd.
Suddenly, there was a burst of exclamations in the venue.
I saw that one of the stones was full of greenery inside, and it was obviously an extremely precious jadeite rough. The other has only some ordinary stone textures and is not very valuable.
When the wealthy merchant saw this scene, a satisfied smile appeared on his face. Although the value of the jadeite was only comparable to his bid at best, he was still very satisfied.
And Zhou Dafa was also surprised when he saw this scene. He has been in the jewelry business for so many years, and he can see the value of this piece of jadeite at a glance. As Jiang Tian said, the value of this rough stone is only a guarantee at most.
At this moment, he was full of admiration for Jiang Tian in his heart.
Jiang Shao, sure enough, things are like gods!
