Chapter 46 The auction begins
"Okay." Xiao Yingchun could tell the difference between the big and small kings.
Except for those invited by Dai Hengxin's uncle, most of the people who came today were invited by Grandpa He.
In that case, it would be much better for me to follow Mr. He to say hello than to follow Dai Hengxin to socialize.
Sure enough, because she was following Mr. He, Xiao Yingchun was looked at and inquired about curiously by many people.
Old Master He did not say that these things were taken out by Xiao Yingchun. He only said that this person was his grandson's partner and he could get along well with him, so he took him along to recognize the person.
Everyone was tactful and gave Xiao Yingchun enough respect.
Soon Zhao Chengfeng brought Dai Enning along.
As soon as Zhao Chengfeng saw Mr. He, his eyes lit up and he quickly walked over with Dai Enning to say hello.
"Grandpa, you coming here today really gives our Hengxin a lot of face. I am simply..."
"En Ning, hurry up and call for help! This kid is really... he doesn't even know how to call Grandpa He!"
Zhao Chengfeng's exaggerated tone and excited expression were even more exaggerated than in a stage play.
Mr. He's smile faded a lot: "You're welcome, it's all for the children. Just mind your own business."
That kind of subtle sense of superiority is back.
Zhao Chengfeng was indeed frightened and dared not to do anything else. He led Dai Enning to the side.
But after she sat down, she saw that Mr. He was actually introducing Xiao Yingchun to someone who was obviously of high status.
"Old Pei, this is Xiao girl. She is a partner of my grandson and the host of tonight's auction..."
"Mom, why does Xiao Yingchun follow Grandpa He around to meet people? Who does she think she is?" Dai Enning was unhappy and spoke into Zhao Chengfeng's ear.
Zhao Chengfeng was even more unhappy.
It was obvious that today's bureau was set up by his son, so why didn't Mr. He take Dai Hengxin with him to identify the person, and who else did he take Xiao Yingchun with him to identify?
After she makes friends with these people, will she sell things directly to them in the future?
Isn't this destroying your own rice bowl?
And there was Xiao Yingchun, whom Zhao Chengfeng really couldn't stand.
Isn’t it just a small shop?
So why are you trying so hard to climb up the social ladder?
What qualifications does she have? !
Looking at Dai Hengxin again, Zhao Chengfeng became even angrier.
Dai Hengxin was clearly greeting the guests introduced by his uncle Dai Wangnian from time to time, but his eyes seemed to be out of control and he kept looking in Xiao Yingchun's direction from time to time.
A little girl kept by a rich man can also enter the Dai family! ?
Zhao Chengfeng rolled his eyes in anger.
Fortunately, she also knew that this was the most important moment for her son, and no matter how many things there were, she had to wait until they were over.
So Zhao Chengfeng warned Dai Enning in a low voice: "Tonight is the most important moment for your brother. No matter how unhappy you are, just bear it until the guests leave."
"I understand." Dai Enning agreed, but she looked aggrieved, as if someone had robbed her of millions.
She was looking at He Liangcong.
It just so happened that He Liangcong was also looking at Xiao Yingchun.
This almost made Dai Enning so angry that he almost exploded!
In such a strange atmosphere, the auction began.
The opening scene is a piece of Hetian jade wall.
This jade disk is made of Hetian white jade, which is extremely smooth. There are cloud patterns and dragon heads carved on it, and it is obvious that it is not something that ordinary people own.
While explaining the size and age of the jade bi, Zou Muwan invited everyone to come forward and take a look.
"After identification, this jade disk dates back to the late Tang Dynasty..."
Those who were able to come today were all veterans in the collecting world. Everyone listened to Zou Muwan's introduction and only took it as a reference. They trusted their own judgment more.
So all kinds of identification tools such as flashlights, magnifying glasses were used at once to identify the jade bi.
Everyone was quite satisfied with the result of the appraisal and they all whispered to each other.
Xiao Yingchun had an impression of this jade bi. Fu Chenan said that it was found in the study room of the Yongzhou prefect's home.
It was obvious that the prefect liked this thing very much and played with it often.
After the appraisal is completed and everyone returns to their seats, the auction begins.
The starting price of the jade bi is not high, starting at 50,000.
The price increase is two thousand yuan each time.
Immediately, someone was the first to raise a sign. It was a friend brought by Dai Wangnian.
Once someone took the lead, it was like a floodgate opened, and those who were interested raised their hands one after another.
Soon the price reached over 100,000 yuan.
At this time, those who were hoping to pick up a bargain stopped buying.
With such a lively scene of holding up signs, everyone obviously realized that it was basically impossible to get this jade disc at a bargain price.
Because everyone knows the goods.
Those who are still holding up their signs are the ones who really like this thing and are determined to buy it.
"One hundred and twenty thousand!" Someone raised the price by twenty thousand yuan at once.
Everyone looked over and found that it was a bald man with white beard on Dai Wangnian's side.
"One hundred and thirty thousand!" A middle-aged friend brought by Mr. He spoke.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." The bald man with white beard raised the price again with great momentum, obviously wanting to overwhelm the other party with his momentum.
"Two hundred thousand." The middle-aged friend raised the price by fifty thousand without any haste.
The scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Only Zou Muwan on the stage still had a smile on her face, methodically teasing everyone's emotions: "This gentleman has called out 200,000. Gentleman number 28, would you like another one?"
Being ordered and all eyes were on him, how could the bald man with white beard not raise the price? He immediately raised the price by another 50,000: "Two hundred and fifty thousand..."
"Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and fifty thousand..."
Soon, the price of the jade bi reached five hundred thousand.
Everyone was stunned: It’s just the beginning, and the price is already so high?
Can a small place like this in a third-tier prefecture-level city be sold at such a high price?
Even Zhao Chengfeng was a little excited at this moment: he was the first one to bid at this price, and there are so many more to come?
If he continues at this pace, wouldn't it be easy for my son's new company to make millions a month?
If it's for the sake of money, it's not impossible to tolerate Xiao Yingchun's existence...
In the end, the jade disk was sold for 520,000 yuan.
Seeing that the first item was sold at such a high price, everyone became more and more curious about the items that came after it.
Xiao Yingchun sat on a chair in the corner, watching the exciting interactions above and below. The quotes, often in the tens or hundreds of thousands, made people's blood boil.
It turns out that in the world of rich people, money can be spent like this.
I have never been interested in this before, nor do I have the qualifications to be interested in it.
It's like... opening a door to a new world.
After the jade bi, there are jade pendants, jade cong, jade jue, belt buckles, hand-held ornaments...
The price ranges from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
After the jade pieces were auctioned, the gold jewelry items came next.
When a whole set of gold-inlaid gemstone jewelry was brought up on a black velvet tray, everyone was stunned by the exquisite workmanship: It was so beautiful...
