"What does this person do at home?" Tan Guang looked at Zhang Lili and asked.
“The son of a boss in Xinlu is studying abroad.”
“I asked you what kind of business his family does.”
“How do I know? Anyway, My family is quite rich." Zhang Lili replied unhappily.
“New house?” Tan Guang is very unfamiliar with this city. He has lived in the Magic City since he was a child, and the places he often goes to are first-tier cities. How could he know such a place.
"I do know that woman. Her family has opened many hotels in Shanghai."
"Oh, Da Jiangnan, I have heard of it. The person who can make her fall in love must not be a small role." Tan Guang was not an idiot, and he began to analyze Chen Xi's identity based on Zhang Lili's words.
"Why do you care about this? I already took a picture of a piece of jewelry for my female companion. Why don't you show it to me?" Zhang Lili felt very uncomfortable at this time. Chen Xi had just bought a bracelet for Zhao Lingshan. But the man next to her didn't even offer a price, and it was obvious that he didn't care about her.
"I'm here to do business today. Buy what you want first and then take a look at it."
"Huh, stingy." Zhang Lili folded her arms and snorted coldly A sound.
She now also feels that Tan Guang will not marry her, so she can make as much money as she wants.
"A second-hand car, and you want to inlaid it with jade? It's so funny." Tan Guang muttered softly.
"Now is the second lot, an antique clock..."
"Eighty thousand!"
"Ninety thousand!"
The second item had a similar starting price to the jade bracelet, but there were many bidders, and there was also a young man among them, who was one of the five people he met in the hotel.
Chen Xi was a little curious, why would a young man take pictures of an antique clock?
Should he buy it back for his father’s death?
It would be strange if this made my father angry to death.
“Three hundred thousand!” The antique clock was quickly raised to three hundred thousand, and the latest bidder was actually a little girl.
This made Chen Xi take another look at the man, who was the one who borrowed fire yesterday. The girl also looked at Chen Xi and winked at him. This made the three women around him express doubts at the same time.
"I really have nothing to do with her. It's unfair." Chen Xi quickly waved his hand to prove his innocence.
"TMD, what is Xiaoyu doing? You want to steal a clock from me? Could it be that what her dad wants is the same thing as what I want to take? No, I have to take it." A young bidder The man murmured unhappily, and then quoted a new price: "Three hundred thousand!"
"Three hundred and twenty thousand!" The girl started bidding again.
"Oh, it's late, it's late! It's already started, three hundred and fifty thousand!" At this moment, a handsome young man suddenly appeared and he hurriedly walked out. After coming in and sitting down, the price was increased by 50,000 yuan, which made many people cast curious glances.
"Whose young master is this? Today's auction is really interesting."
"I've never seen him before, he looks quite handsome."
Two middle-aged women covered their faces Talking about this young man, his eyes never moved away from the other person from beginning to end.
This young man is indeed very handsome, even more handsome than Chen Xi.
But it is difficult for a man to admit that others are more handsome than him, unless the gap is huge.
The young people present looked at each other and snorted disdainfully.
"Look, women are animals with double standards. When I look at other women, you just say, you can look at other men..." Chen Xi took the opportunity to use the topic.
“No matter where you are, my husband is the most handsome.”
“I just took a look at it.”
“Is there anything good-looking, thin and not trashy? I like it. A strong man.”
The three women explained one after another, especially Jin Nana, who directly pointed out the other's shortcomings.
This young man is a tall and thin type, and compared to Chen Xi, he looks like a sissy.
The Chen family all have broad shoulders and look strong. Especially Chen Xi's cousin Chen Zhou, who looks exactly like a basketball player.
"Well, next time I see another woman, don't talk about me again."
"Dream."
"Want to see other women?"
"Haha."
Chen Xi's words attracted ridicule from the three women.
"Uh..."
"Three hundred and sixty thousand!" The woman who borrowed money last night made another bid.
"Four hundred thousand!" The handsome young man raised his hand.
"Four hundred thousand!"
"Four hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Four hundred and seventy thousand!" Another young man raised the sign in displeasure.
“……”
The three young men who had been bidding on this item were all the three young men. Chen Xi glanced at these three people in confusion. He couldn't figure out what was so interesting about this broken clock.
“One million and three hundred thousand!”
“One hundred and four hundred thousand!”
“I’m fooling you…One and a half million!” Antique In the end, the price was increased by 100,000 to 100,000 yuan. The young man who made the first bid gritted his teeth and directly bid 1.5 million. As a result, no one continued to increase the price, which finally made him relieved.
"Hey, I'll leave it to you. I'm just late, I just took a few pictures to enjoy myself. This is the second one after a long time, and there are many more to come. Don't rush, I'll take my time. Play slowly." The handsome man spread his hands.
His words made the young man half angry to death. He was just teasing him for a long time.
The girl also looked at the other party with a smile on her face, and the young man realized that he had been tricked.
This is all about consuming his money first.
He wanted to take pictures of more than one thing, the most among the five people, so he was targeted by the girl.
The auction number reported by a few of them in the hotel box yesterday was completely made up. In fact, it was much higher.
"Okay, congratulations to this gentleman for winning this item. The next item to be auctioned is the Ruyi Double Ear Zun..."
The third item is a fine porcelain, which has won many middle-aged people. The man's madness.
Chen Xi sat there with his arms folded. From time to time he would look at the handsome young man just now, mentally analyzing his identity.
"My dear, don't look at him. In my heart, you are the most handsome man in the world." Jin Nana pinched her throat in a funny way and said in a weird voice.
"Oh, really? I saw that the women at the scene had their eyes drawn when they saw that man. Why are you not moved at all?" Chen Xi asked with a chuckle.
"Only old women would like that kind of pretty boy. Do you think I would fall in love with that kind of guy? I don't just look at people based on their appearance, I look at the inside of a man." Jin Nana said truthfully. She is indeed not a person based on appearance. party. A man with good character and good skills is more likely to win her favor.
"Haha, you have changed quite a lot now. You never said good things about me before."
"Did I?"
Jin Nana was stunned when she heard this. In her impression, the usual scenes of bickering between herself and Chen Xi had been deleted.
"Oh, with this troublemaker here, it seems that Old Chen is going to make a fortune this time." Chen Xi glanced at the young man and shook his head helplessly.
He had some doubts as to whether this person was the one sent by his father. He didn't look like a normal person at all.
How can there be such an increased price in an auction?
It is normal to have a trustee at an auction. This kind of role can be found in any country or auction house. Just like those house auctions in Tuao, the ghost guys all show up with promises.
"Why are you looking at me, competing with me in handsomeness? Can you compare with me? It's amazing to have three women." The young man in the distance noticed that Chen Xi had been staring at him and couldn't help but whisper. Thinking about it.
In his eyes, none of the men on the court are as handsome as him, and if you want to compare with him, you are asking for trouble.
"Two million and a half million! Is there any increase in price?" the host on the stage asked excitedly.
This porcelain is actually an imitation from the Republic of China, so its value is not that high.
Many people see auction items online with prices in the hundreds of millions, but that’s very late.
Chen Xi remembers hearing Chen Yifeng once say that a painting by a certain Tang Dynasty only fetched several million at their auction house.
Any auction with hundreds of millions or hundreds of millions is just washing rice!
It is now 2010. This kind of exaggerated washed rice exists through auctions and can only be seen in places like HK.
Auction prices in the Mainland are still very low for many reasons. Antiques are not as active in the mainland as they are outside. There are very few high-quality ones, and most of them are auctioned in HK.
"Interesting, interesting. I even want to open an auction house." Chen Xi also made a fortune collecting scraps in Tu'ao, but that kind of auction is just like a wet market, not formal at all.
If you open a regular auction house, you won’t be able to make money.
"I am originally from your family, you are so interesting." Zhao Lingshan said with a smile in her ear.
"Shh~ You don't know how to keep secrets at all." Shazhi poked Zhao Lingshan's arm in displeasure.
"I know, I see you are nervous." Zhao Lingshan curled her lips.
"That's different. Lao Chen is Lao Chen, and I am me. Only when things are in your own hands is it safe." Chen Xi and Chen Yifeng, father and son, have distrusted each other for so many years. .
"Third time, 2.5 million, the deal was completed. Congratulations to this gentleman!" The host knocked the small hammer and announced the final result.
The person who took the photo was a bald old man. Although he bought this thing, the price was still a bit high, which made him a little dissatisfied.
After all, no one’s money comes from strong winds. If this object was not similar to an old lost object in his family, he would not spend a lot of money to buy a replica.
“The fourth item is more suitable for young people. It is a bunch of small cards. Specifically, it should be limited edition game cards. This is a complete set of cards, which is very rare for collectors. The lowest price Thirty thousand yuan..."
Chen Xi looked at the host and then at the brochure.
This is a set of Sakura Kingdom game cards, not the popular IP of Pokémon type.
There probably aren't many people who like it. The previous owner probably collected a set because he liked it.
“This is a SQUAREENIX game card. Each monster on the card corresponds to a delicious food. Honey, I want it!” Saori pulled Chen excitedly Xi's clothes.
"Food? I want it too." Zhao Lingshan also interrupted at this moment.
“Is there any mistake? I spoke first.”
“So what.”
"Okay, okay. Stop arguing, buy it and divide it between yourselves."
"Thirty thousand!"
Before Chen Xi could say anything, the girl who borrowed the money last night said Made a bid.
"Why do all women like a set of cards?" Chen Xi looked over there in confusion, then patted the hands of the two women to reassure them, and offered: "Husband, will help You bought it for 40,000 yuan!”
“50,000 yuan!” The girl not far away said with an expressionless face.
"Sixty thousand!" Chen Xi refused to be outdone.
"Oh, today's young people really don't know anything about investing. Spending so much money on a useless card is a waste of money. It is better to buy some gold and silver jewelry."< br>
“That’s right, I don’t know how many sets of this kind of thing the factory can mass-produce in a day. The estimated cost of a set is only a few dollars.”
“You guys I don’t understand. Nowadays, many people collect limited-edition shoes, clothes, and bags. If they are resold after a period of time, they can be multiplied several times. We old guys should keep up with the times and learn more about young people. It’s all about ideas.”
A few middle-aged men laughed and discussed Chen Xi and others. In their opinion, young people don’t know how to make money at all, so they only spend money blindly.
"One hundred thousand!" shouted a young man wearing glasses.
"Huh? Looking for trouble? How dare you snatch something from my treasure, 150,000 yuan!" Chen Xi glared at the other party and motioned to Zhao Lingshan to hold up the sign.
"Husband, forget it. It seems a bit worthless to buy a card for more than 100,000 yuan." Shazhi wanted to help Chen Xi save money, so she asked kindly.
"How can that be done? How can you give up what the baby wants? Besides, the price will be bid at the auction. How can there be any regrets?" Chen Xi patted the armrest of the chair, as if he was already on top.
"What are you doing...it's just a set of cards...children are really playful..." Sun Chen made a face and became worried about Chen Xi again.
"Two hundred thousand!"
"Two hundred and ten thousand!"
The young man wearing glasses increased his price by fifty thousand every time, while the girl increased his price by ten thousand or ten thousand every time. Raise the price.
"Let's see who dares to compete with me. My dad has a lot of money!" Chen Xi rolled up his sleeves and motioned to Zhao Lingshan to hold up the sign again.
The price was suddenly increased by 100,000, becoming 310,000.
"Don't go up! Just take it easy." Jin Nana couldn't stand it anymore.
"Huh? Are you questioning my financial strength? If you look like this, what will other women think of me in the future? They think I can't support them." Chen Xi glared at Jin with feigned displeasure. Nana.
"Nerve, I don't care about you." Jin Nana rolled her eyes, folded her arms and said nothing more.
"Haha, that's really interesting." The handsome guy sitting far away couldn't help but sneer when he saw Chen Xi teaching the woman a lesson.
Other people are also whispering in private, and now everyone regards Chen Xi as a fool with a lot of money.
"If this were my son, I would have beaten him to death long ago."
"Yes, a set of small cards cost more than three hundred thousand. Today's children just think that money is blown by the wind." Come. When I was young, my family couldn’t afford meat during the Chinese New Year! How much meat can I buy with more than 300,000 yuan?”
"This kind of child should be allowed to participate in some kind of program... Yes, yes, it's called Metamorphosis! It means exchanging children from rich families with children from poor families, so that they can experience the difficulty of life!"
A few old men who had worked hard from the grassroots to become wealthy were sitting in the distance and pointing at Chen Xi.
Chen Xize completely ignored the voices of the people around him, and instead raised his head proudly.
"This...how did this child become like this now? Wasn't he very low-key when he was a child? I remember that Lao Chen used to drive him to school. He didn't want his classmates to know that his family was rich, so he asked Lao Chen to park the car. A place far away from the school, and then walk there by yourself..." Sun Chen recalled what happened to Chen Xi when he was a child, and combined with his performance today, he was shocked beyond words. (End of this chapter)
