My Wife is a Beautiful CEO Chapter 273: [Auction]
Chapter 273 [Auction]
The charity auction is nothing but a large amount of money with a good reputation that rich people are keen on.
In this society, you have no money and are looked down upon. But if you have money, you will be scolded for various reasons. You will be scolded if you use your money and oneself. If you donate money, some people will say that you write a short check. So if you have money and don't donate, you will be scolded. You might as well donate and get some benefits.
However, Liu Family's charity auction is not purely fame. Liu Family has own auction house, in other words, and many auction items are genuine and worth buying.
So, many rich people present came to this party with one or more things.
With the guidance of the waiters, the guests entered the side hall one after another, rather than another side hall.
Only, there are neat tables and chairs in the venue. already is full of fruit and wine, and number plates of various colors.
According to the number on the invitation, Yang Chen followed Lin Ruoxi to the table prepared for two people and sat down.
Coincidentally, the seat of the two was behind Yuan Family husband and wife. As soon as they sat down, Yuan Hewei husband and wife sitting in the front turned around and smiled kindly at Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi is very puzzled why Yang Chen and Yuan Family are so familiar. Although Yang Chen said to Yuan Ye ’s birthday last time, Lin Ruoxi knows that such a large family and children ’s social network are different from their parents, at least they are taking over. Knowing your son before your Patriarch position does not mean that your parents have a good relationship with you.
I don't think Yang Chen has a reason to know Yuan Hewei husband and wife, but although curious, Lin Ruoxi does not intend to ask Yang Chen.
Yang Chen intentionally or unintentionally looked around, and saw the sisters Cai Family sitting at a table in the first row, while the foreign guests who attracted the attention of Cai Ning were sitting relatively At the next few tables, they were laughing and groaning, looking relaxed.
Liu Family's auction house is a regular large company. Naturally, the things auctioned will not be ordinary. When an auctioneer wearing a white tuxedo took to the stage, he immediately began to display the first sale. .
On the huge LED display screen, a 3D rotating pattern of blue and white porcelain appears.
The appearance of this collection immediately aroused a lot of exclamations from the audience, apparently for the sake of it.
The auctioneer introduced with a loud voice: "Dear guests, the first sale of our Liu's auction house today is a piece of blue and white, 'blue and white peony pattern pots.' They are all antique collectors. I do n’t need to say more about the value of this collection. Yuan blue and white is the least blue and white porcelain in the world, representing the period when our China ancient times prime porcelain turned to polychrome. rare treasure.
This collection, fully preserved, is provided by foreign friends, starting at 5 million Yuan, the auction starts! "
With a "start", many antique enthusiasts here are scrambling to raise their number plates.
"Six million!"
"Eight million!"
"9.8 million!"
"I make 12 million !!!"
...
The sound of shouting prices kept coming and going. Soon, the price of this yuan blue and white broke through 20 million.
Yang Chen Listening to a crowd of rich people shouting the price like throwing blank paper, smiling and asking Lin Ruoxi who was silent, "Wife, why don't you say anything, this thing has great value-added potential. "
Lin Ruoxi indifferently said said: "Not interested."
Yang Chen Of course knows that this girl is not without money, it may just be shy and embarrassed and shout for the price in front of so many people, so she never speaks again.
In a blink of an eye, already someone shouted a high price of "43 million", which is equivalent to the total assets of several small businesses!
Although this blue-and-white flower can be sold for hundreds of millions of dollars, at the moment, this piece is a collection of medium high-grade quality, not the most representative pieces, so many collectors and big bosses present I regret to put away the brand and feel that it is no longer necessary to compete.
The presence of people can come, the representative already is affirmation of social status, there is no need to make everyone unhappy for this money.
The auctioneer started shouting, "Five No. 17 guests bid 43 million, 43 million once ... 43 million ..."
Wait for the auctioneer to continue shouting, there was no sound, sitting at the position watching Yuan Hewei bidding suddenly, Zheng Sheng said: "I'm 50 million."
This shouted out, the original shouting of 43 million guests was immediately lost, not to mention whether there was any capital plus, at least, to grab things with Yuan Family, it is clear that you do not want to mix in Zhong Hai .
Moreover, Yuan Hewei is worth 50 million, not that the collection is really worth so much. It is nothing more than a symbolic participation. Buying the first collection at a high price shows the style of the first family that's all.
Without accidental/surprised, everyone chose to be silent. After the auctioneer's three beeps, Yuan Hewei took the first collection for 50 million.
When the first round is over, Yuan Hewei turns around and smiles at Yang Chen: "I know nothing about antiques. It is estimated that many people laugh at me as fools."
Yang Chen shook the head, "It will be worth 50 million in a few years. Keep it at home."
"Oh, do you understand this?" Yuan Hewei asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi and Yang Jieyu both looked at Yang Chen with a little doubt.
Yang Chen smiled lightly: "I have studied a little bit when I was bored abroad. I have three teachings and nine skills. If I do n’t learn anything, I would probably say someone like me."
This is of course a falsehood. Yang Chen knows the value of many antiques, but because many people once gave oneself some yuan blue and white flowers, oneself remembered some knowledge about blue and white porcelain. As to where those things were placed, Yang Chen I didn't pay much attention at all, someone must have helped oneself.
"Haha, this is not incomprehensible, it is all culture", Yuan Hewei laughed: "Many people here rely on their sense of smell to do business and develop to this day. Actually, come here to participate in this type of auction. Actually, It's a reputation for throwing money at them, and they also envy the so-called 'not learning without skills'. "
Chat, the auction goes on.
The second and third collections were successively brought to the screen.
Ruby jewelry, masterpieces of Western medieval oil paintings, and calligraphy scrolls of China ancient times are all famous items worth over ten million yuan.
However, after receiving the first collection, Yuan Hewei didn't bargain any more. Lin Ruoxi was as quiet as ever, not talking, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Yang Chen is a bit boring. The rich people ’s games are actually monotonous. They do n’t know where the money will flow. Apart from giving them a momentary pleasure, they only leave a greater emptiness.
It's awkward. I didn't smoke a cheap strong cigarette to stimulate me.
However, when the collection reaches the fifth item, Yang Chen instantly feels a little strange.
On the big screen, a small dark gold wine glass emerges. This Gothic-style wine glass usually contains wine.
wine glass is roughly cylindrical in shape, with a wide cup opening and a round bottom and high feet. The cup is quaint, with some fuzzy lines and a few metal scratches, but it can be generally discerned that it should be wine glass used by nobles cast with rare metals such as gold and silver.
Yang Chen suddenly realized a little bit of enlightenment, no wonder Cai Ning will come, no wonder those white Aura are so weird.
On the Internet, what Makedon said seemed true, but it never occurred to me that the legendary "Holy Grail" happened to appear at this charity auction!
Almost at the same time, Yang Chen felt a slight wave of chill/Yin Cold fluctuating behind the venue, the kind of surging abyss-like energy fluctuation, Yang Chen immediately determined the identity of those white people.
"tsk tsk ... It's a big deal, all these people come ..." Yang Chen thinking aloud said.
"What are you talking about?" Lin Ruoxi thought Yang Chen was talking to her, asked with a frown.
Yang Chen grinned, "Good wife, this cup is good. Drink a glass of wine at night to help sleep and beauty, you buy it back."
"I want to buy you oneself, starting at two million, it is not expensive anyway," Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
Yang Chen poked his lips, he had no money.
At this time, the auctioneer introduced: "You, this collection was provided by a seller who asked for confidentiality a few days ago. It is probably estimated that it was wine glass in the first year of AD. It has a long history and a mysterious origin Color is the biggest feature of this collection. No one can give a specific name. Today's starting price is 2 million, but the true value is difficult to estimate. I hope everyone can grasp the timing ... "
While the auctioneer has finished speaking, sitting behind the store, a blond, hot girl wearing a dark red evening dress, shouts with jerky Chinese: "10 million."
