Chapter 165: Auction House Adventure
Walking out of the cafeteria, Xiaozhu sincerely admired Principal Lu and said:
"Principal Lu, I would like to make a request! Please consider it. ”
"Say!"
"In the future, our team of teachers, I would like to bring it to you to learn. When I go back, before I build a school, I will look for a teacher first, and if I find it, I will send it to you to study first. ”
"Okay, if you don't have that many teachers, I can help you find them. You make a detailed plan first, and we can organize it. ”
When it comes to supporting Xiaozhu's idea to build this school, Principal Lu is very active. Even Li Wei, who was on the side, felt a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this cousin, who is usually known for her fiery and iron face, made him a little unaccustomed to it today.
When he came out of school, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and Xiaozhu didn't want to go anywhere else, but told Li Wei that he wanted to go to a place. Ask Xiaozhu to accompany him.
Xiaozhu never expected that the place Li Wei wanted to go to was actually a flower market. I didn't expect him to like this.
But Xiaozhu is wrong, Li Wei has a hobby, he loves stones!
Li Wei's family has a room, which is full of all kinds of stones, and a few huge stones in their yard were only placed by using a crane.
Every time he comes to San'an City, Li Wei will come here for a look. In the flower market, there is a small courtyard connected to a small street, here, are some idlers, this kind of leisure, is really idle, usually you come, you see that these people are either drinking tea and chatting, or fighting a cricket.
But Li Wei told Xiaozhu that don't look at the people here are very idle, and the chatting may be tens of millions of business. The one who fights crickets may be a billionaire. It's just that everyone has a hobby, that is, they like stones.
The stones that can be brought here are all movable and can be moved, and many of the stones are negotiated here, and then I look at the photos and then go to the scene to see.
Of course, the courtyard in here is a different world.
There, it's an auction house.
This auction is held once every three months, and today, it happens to be a quarterly auction.
Li Wei hurried through the flower and herb market with Xiaozhu and rushed inside, the auction was about to start at three o'clock, and he couldn't even enter the door if he was late.
When Li Wei came, an old man at the door, looked at Li Wei and then at Xiaozhu and said with a smile:
"You kid brought his girlfriend here?"
"Fourth grandfather, don't talk nonsense, it's my good friend!"
Xiaozhu pretended not to hear it, and looked around, under the eaves of this street, there were people sitting in twos and threes, even if they were chatting, they were whispering. It's completely different from the bustling flower market outside. I didn't expect that there would be such a quiet place in the middle of the city.
"Come in, I'm closing the door soon. ”
As soon as Li Wei entered with Xiaozhu, the courtyard door behind him was closed.
Looking at the house in the courtyard, a small two-story building with a single Ding Ding is right in the middle of this courtyard. It looks like a garden of the age. It's such a place, so mysterious?
Xiaozhu followed Li Wei to the second floor, there is a gate on the second floor, it looks like an ordinary anti-theft door, Li Wei pulled a pull ring on the door, a small crack opened on the side of the door, two tickets came out, and the door opened automatically when the two stood in front of the door.
"If you enter this place, you can come in if you have a ticket, if you pull it here and don't come out with a ticket, it means that the people inside are full, and you will not be able to participate in this auction. ”
After entering the door, Xiaozhu was stunned, the magnificence in it was completely beyond his imagination. It's a hall, and in front of it is a stage, and in the middle, there are rows of seats that are the people who come to participate in the auction.
Xiaozhu and Li Wei got the tickets exactly in the last two seats of the last row. As soon as I sat down, a person came out of the stage.
"Hello everyone, this quarter's auction starts on time now. It looks like a good day, the seats are full. Although old friends know it. But there's a new guy here, and I'd like to introduce our rules first!"
"First, don't raise your voice. Second, all the things we sell are through regular channels, and the company will escort you out of the city for what you sell, and third, the auction is conducted in a friendly manner, and you cannot force you to sell or buy. ”
Xiaozhu didn't listen to what he said, because he was attracted by the things around him. The paintings on the walls are also good, and the decoration of the whole house looks gorgeous but not vulgar, which is very comfortable.
"Okay, now let's take a look at the first lot. ”
A long-legged beauty dressed in a cheongsam came up with a tray covered with a red cloth.
"Let me introduce first, this is a jade carving ornament, a collector's collection. Because of family changes, so take it out for auction, the jade is Hetian jade, the carving is very exquisite, and the thing is more than 2,000 years old. The starting price is 300,000!"
While speaking, the host took the jade ornament and displayed it, which is a carved portrait of an old man with a birthday star. It looks mellow and blessed, but it is a good thing for the elderly.
"Three hundred and thirty thousand,"
Someone held up a sign.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand. ”
"Three hundred and eighty thousand. ”
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Everyone, I'm sorry, I'm just going to celebrate my old lady's birthday, this thing is festive. ”
A voice rang out in the front row of the room. Then he raised the platoon and said:
"Five hundred thousand!"
No one called anymore later, and the man took the jade ornament and went back to celebrate the old man's birthday.
"The second lot. ”
This time, it was no longer the beautiful waitress who brought it, but two men carried it in a large basket and placed it in the middle of the room, and inside was a stone.
"It's a rough stone, there's something in it, I don't know. The original owner didn't want it anymore, so he brought it to us for auction. The stone was brought back from abroad by the original owner. The starting price is not high, 150,000. ”
"Don't buy!
In the middle of the field, a woman's somewhat panicked voice sounded, and a woman pointed to the stone above and shouted:
"Don't buy it, that stone is very evil, after our family has it, we haven't lived a day in peace! Why is it here?"
The woman's words successfully aroused the discussion in the audience.
"Be quiet, don't make a noise. Security, take people away!"
The host said without panic, the discussion in the field will not stop, speaking of this stone, I am afraid that even newcomers like Xiaozhu do not know about this stone, this stone was originally sold from this auction house.
The father of the woman who had just called me bought this and went back, but there was not a day in the family that followed.
You can fall and hurt yourself when you go out on flat ground, and you will be beaten when you sit on your home.....
Suddenly, even if the price was low, there was no sign raised. It seems that the woman is gone, but her words are considered to be left.
This business is destined to be unsold. The host's face is also not good-looking.
"Then this product...."
The host was about to announce that the product was unsold when a hand was raised in the corner.
Because he didn't have a sign in his hand, the host didn't dare to announce that they were asking for a price.
For a moment, the host was stunned for a moment, looked into the corner, and asked:
"May I ask the friend sitting in the back row, did you raise your hand to take a picture of this product?"
The people in front of them all came back and didn't come to see who was so bold to shoot such an ominous thing.
They looked back and saw Jiang Xiaozhu, who stood up with a somewhat embarrassed smile, and then raised the sign in his hand and explained:
"I'm sorry, I'm the first to come back. I didn't notice that there was a sign on every chair with a bid price. So only the hand was raised. I mean, if no one is bidding on this item, is it better for me to bid at the starting price?"
Li Wei was a little anxious, and didn't stop Xiaozhu, Xiaozhu reached out and took a picture of this product, and heard what kind of thing it was, but she still wanted to take a picture.
But none of them knew what Xiaozhu was thinking.
When the red cloth covered by this product opened, Xiaozhu was stunned. What is this? But why is there so much aura around this stone? As soon as you take away the red cloth, the aura surrounds the stone, and it doesn't go away.
Xiaozhu was about to ask Li Wei how to shoot, but the woman spoke. Therefore, when the host was about to say that this product was unsold, Xiaozhu raised his hand.
"Absolutely. So are you sure you want this item?"
"Sure. ”
The host was relieved. I didn't expect that there are still people who are not afraid of death.
Li Wei shouted on the side:
"Xiaozhu!"
Xiaozhu patted his hand slightly and said:
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. ”
"Miss, this brand is for you, and this product is yours. Take the sign, wait for the auction, you go through the formalities, and then you can take the things and go. ”
A beautiful woman in a cheongsam gave Xiaozhu a sign. Li Wei said anxiously:
"Why did you buy that? It's a lot of money, 150,000!"
Xiaozhu smiled:
"Don't worry, it's really fine!"
What kind of bowls and cans are in the next auction, Xiaozhu is not interested in these antique things.
"Everyone, please pay attention, the next thing we are going to photograph is a fossil, after expert verification, this is an egg fossil, to be honest, the average collector will not collect this fossil thing, only some enthusiasts, or some research, will pay attention to this. ”
As he spoke, he uncovered the red cloth on the tray brought by the waiter, and sure enough, it was an egg-shaped stone, which seemed to be calcified.
"This is the third time this lot has been auctioned, and the first two times someone bought it, but regretted it and took it again. Let's see if anyone has a hobby for this today. ”
These people who came today, and those who were very active in the previous bowls and jars, don't seem to like this, Li Wei is a lover of stones, but he also thinks that this stone has no value for collection. Because this egg is not very complete, the surface is pitted.
But Xiaozhu was very excited, because she felt it again, inside this egg, a chaotic thing couldn't see what it was, but her divine sense could feel it, and there was something inside.
"Starting price: 180,000!"
After the host finished speaking, no one asked for it, no one spoke, Xiaozhu held up the sign this time and said:
"190,000. ”
Everyone looked back and saw that it was still the same girl, was this girl crazy?
"190,000, someone has raised the price, 190,000 once!"
"Is there still a price increase?"
"One hundred and ninety-five thousand!"
An old man in the front row also held up a sign. But Xiaozhu didn't want to let this thing out. Hold up the sign again.
'Two hundred thousand!'
The old man in the front row held up the sign again and said:
"Two Twenty Twenty Thousand"
Xiaozhu frowned, what does this old man mean? Could it be that he can also see what is in this?
Xiaozhu calmed down and held up the sign again,
"Two hundred and fifty thousand"
The host was obviously a little excited, although 250,000 yuan was a small price on this auction table, but this egg was auctioned three times. Not once was it up.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time!"
"Three hundred thousand!"
This old man, it seems, is still unforgiving!
Xiaozhu's face sank. Just about to raise the card, Li Wei stopped her and said:
"300,000, do you really think this thing is useful?"
Xiaozhu changed his hand and raised it:
"Three hundred and fifty thousand"
The audience began to talk. This old and young, one before and one after the other, what is this going to do, is this egg really useful? So, there was an eventful and rich man, who also held up a sign,
"Three hundred and sixty thousand"
The other man followed,
"Three hundred and seventy thousand"
Xiaozhu rolled her eyes, what are these people going to do?
Li Wei saw that the situation was not right, hundreds of thousands, for those people sitting in the front row, it was really a random thing to throw away, but for Xiaozhu, it was very precious.
These people obviously started to follow the price, not just to get something, but to play the same. In this way, Xiaozhu will suffer.
Li Wei pressed Xiaozhu's hand, Xiaozhu was also smart, Li Wei's press, she also understood a little, sure enough, the people in front began to fight for the price, and after a while, the egg was auctioned for 450,000.
But even if they play with money, they still have a bottom of their own. When it was 450,000 yuan, only the old man was bidding.
"Four hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, four hundred and fifty thousand for the second time. ”
"Four hundred and sixty thousand"
Xiaozhu held up the sign again. After thinking about it, I still want to know what is in the middle of that egg. There should be something in that chaos.
Xiaozhu bid again, and even the old man looked back. Xiaozhu also glanced at the old man. The old man nodded expressionlessly.
"460,000 for the first time"
"Four hundred and sixty thousand for the second time"
"There are still people who add no. 460,000 for the third time! Congratulations to this young lady, you have won two lots with us today. ”
A waiter brought another sign. Li Wei smiled:
"Otherwise, we'll leave now, there will be too many people waiting to settle the bill. Let's go to the side first. ”
Xiaozhu nodded. Under the guidance of the waiter, the two went out to the ground floor, and the ground floor was also a door open, but there was a passage inside. On both sides of the aisle are small rooms, which seem to be private rooms one by one.
The sign in Xiaozhu's hand lit up, and someone immediately stepped forward to lead Xiaozhu and Li Wei to a private room.
