Haoshi Hotel.
Several experts gave the auction price, and Xu Ning wrote it down. The auction would not start until night. Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Xiao Xu, I will take you to meet people."
"OK."
Xu Ning stood up and followed Wang Xiao. The two of them left the suite. At this time, there were many people in the hall, chatting with each other, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
Wang Xiao whispered: "These people come from all over the world. They all like collecting and their identities are not simple. I will take you to get familiar with them first. If you want to make some achievements in the antique industry, get to know these people." Networking is necessary.”
"Thank you, Uncle Wang."
Soon Wang Xiao led Xu Ning into the crowd.
"Mr. Liu, I haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have dinner together when we have time." Wang Xiao walked up to a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and said with a smile.
"Xiao Xu, let me introduce you to Mr. Liu Long."
"Hello, Mr. Liu."
Xu Ning stretched out his hand, and Liu Long shook it slightly, then said: "Boss Wang, this friend is very unfamiliar. New here?"
"Well, I'm a little brother..." Wang Xiao introduced.
"Xiao Xu, right? I wonder what your job is?" Liu Long asked with a smile.
"I just graduated not long ago and I haven't got a job yet."
"Then what does your family do?" Xu Ning was not easy to answer. After all, his parents were gone and he was an orphan.
At this moment, someone next to him said something, walked over, looked Xu Ning up and down, and said, "Isn't this Xu Dingsheng's son?"
Xu Ning looked familiar to the person he came to, and quickly remembered that Xu Dingsheng had introduced people to Xu Ning before and took him to a cocktail party. He had seen this person before, and his name was Zhao Lei, the owner of a jewelry store in Jiangbei.
"Xu Dingsheng? Dingsheng Group?" Liu Long looked surprised.
Dingsheng Group is a leading enterprise in Jiangbei and is also well-known in Suzhou. Everyone knows that something happened, and Liu Long's attitude became a little cold.
In the past, knowing that Xu Ning was Xu Dingsheng's son, he would definitely have a few words and try to make friends, but now there is no need.
Dingsheng Group has changed hands, and Xu Dingsheng has died. Without this halo, Xu Ning is just a college student who has just graduated with no identity and no background, and is not worthy of a boss like Liu Long to get to know him.
The rest of the people also looked at it. After all, the matter of Dingsheng Group had been on the hot search for a long time. They did not expect to see the former prince of Dingsheng Group here.
Wang Xiao introduced a few more people to Xu Ning, but their attitudes were very cold. They just nodded and paid no attention to Xu Ning.
Seeing that Wang Xiao wanted to introduce him, Xu Ning whispered: "Uncle Wang, forget it, I'll go sit over there."
After saying that, he went to sit on the sofa next to him. Wang Xiao smiled and said, "You feel uncomfortable being left out?"
Xu Ning said nothing.
Wang Xiao patted his shoulder, "It's normal. If you were still the prince before, they must be very enthusiastic about you, but now you are not. They don't want to talk to you. It's human nature. This is reality. These are all They are people with status and status, and since you can’t create much value for them, they naturally don’t want to waste time on you.”
"I will introduce them to you, that is, make them familiar. When your things are put up for auction, you will see how they treat you. It is not that they are snobbish, but that you are of value to others. , others are passionate about you."
Xu Ning understood.
Okay, then let’s wait for the auction to start in the evening. Do you think that without my dad, I, Xu Ning, would not be worthy of your attention?
…
Six p.m.
The auction started. Xu Ning found his seat and sat down. Wang Xiao sat next to him. He had just had dinner at this time. There were not many people coming to the auction house, and there were some people who were far away. At this time, Arrive.
Not long after, people came in one after another.
"Hey, Mr. Hu, you're here. I didn't see you during the day, so I thought you wouldn't come to participate."
"Old Chen, why are you here just now? We will have a drink after the auction is over."
"..."
The auction hall gradually became lively. When it was almost seven o'clock, the auction hall was almost full of people. At this time, a man came in from outside, wearing a suit and looking very formal.
As soon as he came in, the people who were sitting down immediately stood up and came forward to greet him.
"Hello Mr. Du, I'm Xiao Liu, do you remember?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Du to come this time. It's an honor for me to participate in the auction with Mr. Du."
"Mr. Du, have you had dinner? Why don't you go to my hotel and sit down after the auction is over."
"..."
Everyone was very enthusiastic, and their words were full of flattery.
The man in a suit had a smile on his face. After greeting everyone, he sat down in the first row. Xu Ning noticed that a short-haired man following Mr. Du was also wearing a suit, but he was The suit is bulging.
Obviously the muscles on his body are very well developed, otherwise it would not have such an effect. It would give people the impression of a thug in a suit. This is obviously Mr. Du's bodyguard.
With so many people here, only Mr. Du brought bodyguards, which made Xu Ning a little curious about Mr. Du's identity.
"Uncle Wang, what is Mr. Du's background? So many people are fawning over him."
Wang Xiao whispered: "This is Du Biao, the chairman of the Du Group in Suzhou. The Du Group is the fifth largest enterprise in terms of wealth in Gusu City..."
Xu Ning understood that this was the real boss. The previous Liu Long and Zhao Lei were nothing compared to Du Biao. No wonder so many people were fawning over him.
Not long after Du Biao came in, a young man in casual clothes came in with his arms around a beautiful young woman.
Everyone immediately gathered around again.
Xu Ning took a look and was a little surprised. Isn't this the national husband Mr. Wang? Unexpectedly, he was also interested in collecting.
Mr. Wang was very high-profile and sat down not far from Du Biao with his arms around the woman. The two of them knew each other and nodded to each other as a greeting.
These two heavyweights were the final heavyweights, and everyone was almost here. Not long after, Sister Fang came to the auction stage and said with a smile: "Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to come to this auction. I have no words to say." Enough talking, let’s get started now.”
After saying that, Sister Fang signaled the staff to push a small cart over, covered with red cloth. Sister Mei smiled and said: "This first item is the Ming Dynasty official kiln porcelain provided by Wang Xiao. It has been authenticated by experts and has Interested friends can come up and have a look.”
As soon as he finished speaking, someone laughed and said, "Oh, Lao Wang has brought something good this time, I want to take a good look at it."
A large group of people went up to appreciate it one by one. Although there were experts who appraised it, the experts also had time to look at it. These people were all collectors, so they naturally had some ability to appraise it.
After the appraisal, it was indeed authentic and the auction officially began.
