The auction was held in the Dehui Building in the center of Suzhou. This auction company is well-known in the country.
As time passed, the invited guests also came to the scene one after another, and the auction was about to begin.
"Where?"
Chen Guanliang looked for Hu Fan at the scene, but he couldn't find it.
"Master, they are over there...yes, in that corner."
The location they worked at was too remote, and it would have been difficult to find it unless we paid careful attention.
"Are we going there?"
Li Ming asked.
"There's no need to go over there yet. If we go over there, it's likely to cause him some unnecessary trouble."
Chen Guanliang was right. If they go to greet Hu Fan now, then people here will pay attention to him, and someone will definitely investigate his background.
"Lao San, I don't know why Xiaofan comes here, but this is an auction. Maybe there is something he needs here. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
At this time, he turned to look at his third brother, who was not easy to worry about.
"I understand, I understand, brother!"
Chen Guanlin nodded hurriedly. How could he not understand what his elder brother meant? Hu Fan was probably here to take pictures. If he took pictures and gave them to him, this would also be a relationship between them. There is a Opportunity for detente.
"Hu Fan, I have cracked the surveillance system of this building. Now I can control all the surveillance equipment here."
At this time, Liu Siyang, who was sitting in the corner, adjusted his glasses and said, and saw his hands typing continuously on the keyboard.
"Okay, we won't let them find out, right?"
Hu Fan was worried that Liu Siyang would be noticed by people here. After all, this is a group building, and the security and monitoring systems here are not bad.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem. Even if we are discovered, they won't find us."
At this moment, Liu Siyang has the so-called self-confidence...
The auction was about to start, and everyone sat down in their seats one after another.
In the first row, Chen Guanliang and Su Yuanhang from the Su family sat side by side.
"Mr. Su, I heard that the Situ family's group companies have had some problems recently, causing their stocks to fall sharply. This must be a lot of money lost."
Chen Guanliang held the red wine in his hand and said calmly to Su Yuanhang next to him.
"Mr. Chen is very concerned about the Situ family. He may be disappointed. People came to check in the past two days and found nothing wrong."
The two of them knew very well that they were just testing each other. Su Yuanhang knew very well what the Su family did. The Situ family was just a puppet.
But even if it is a puppet, it still depends on who is standing behind it. As the saying goes, it depends on the owner when beating a dog...
At ten o'clock in the morning, the auction officially started. There were not too many items auctioned today, only about twenty pieces, but each one was priceless.
"Hi, everyone... I am the host of this auction. My name is Wang Hui. Without further ado, here is the first lot."
Just as Wang Hui finished speaking, a very beautiful etiquette lady came up from the backstage. There was a tray in her hand, and the contents inside were covered by a piece of red cloth.
The people below were also curious to guess what was inside. The items in this auction were all confidential, so they didn't know what was going to be auctioned today.
"Everyone must be guessing what this is, come on... everyone, watch it!"
With a swipe sound, Wang Hui opened the red cloth, and the contents inside came into view.
"Dear bosses, this is a high-quality mutton-fat jade finger ring. It came from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. It is very collectible. The base price is 10 million. Each bid must not be less than 100,000. The bidding begins!"
After seeing that the first item to be auctioned was a jade ring, everyone's enthusiasm was not too high. In the eyes of these rich people, a ring was not worth fighting for.
Seeing that the atmosphere at the scene was not quite right, the host continued calmly:
"Maybe the bosses think this ring is nothing, but the owner of this ring is not simple. It was worn by Qiao Zhiyong, the leader of Shanxi merchants from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."
"Think about it, if anyone gets it, it means that he is likely to be the next richest man."
The host's eloquence is also quite remarkable. With just a few words, the rich people below started fighting for it.
"I want to decide on the offer of Qiao Zhiyong, the leader of Shanxi merchants. I will pay 12 million..."
"Old Li, this is yours. This is a symbol of wealth. Don't rob it from me. I'll pay you 15 million..."
In this way, this mutton-fat jade finger ring was auctioned for a sky-high price of 50 million, and the price is still rising online.
"You said it's just a broken finger, how can these people spend so much money?"
Ubu sitting in the corner really couldn't understand these people.
"Actually, the ring itself is nothing, but the person wearing it is the richest man in the generation. To put it bluntly, these people just want to become the next Qiao Zhiyong."
Qiao Zhiyong was a Shanxi businessman, a native of Qixian County, Shanxi Province, and the fourth head of the Qiao family. The Qiao family compound that everyone is familiar with now belongs to their family.
"I will offer 100 million..."
At this time, a bidder gave a sky-high price. After this price was given, everyone present was silent.
"That's the head of the Song family, right..."
"Yes, it's him. Forget it, let's stop fighting. One hundred million dollars to buy a jade ring is indeed a bit too expensive..."
The last ring that Qiao Zhiyong wore was photographed by the head of the Song family.
"Okay, here is the second auction item. This is a painting from the Tang Dynasty. It is called "Picture of the King Sending His Son to Heaven". Does anyone know whose painting this is?"
The host gave everyone a clue and let’s see the reaction of the people below.
"The picture of the Heavenly King sending his son is impossible! How could it appear here? This is a long-lost masterpiece handed down from generation to generation. It was a painting by the saint Wu Daozi!"
Someone below knew the origin of this painting, and they were even more surprised after learning the origin of this painting.
"The boss is right. This painting is a painting of Saint Wu Daozi. You can rest assured that this painting is authentic. We have had it authenticated by a treasure appraiser..."
I believe everyone is familiar with Wu Daozi, a painter of the Tang Dynasty. His paintings of Buddhism and Taoism, ghosts and gods, figures, flowers and birds, etc. were famous all over the world. His paintings were deeply loved by Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty, and he was even known as the "Painting Sage of a Hundred Generations". "A person of superior quality."
"Everyone can rest assured that this painting is an individual's private collection. You can bid with confidence. The starting price is 2 billion, and each bid is no less than 100 million. The bidding begins!"
After hearing the price of 2 billion, at least 80% of the people at the scene did not participate. This price was not acceptable to them.
Although they are rich, the price is beyond their acceptance range...
