Chapter 226 The price is a bit expensive
“Who is that? It looks pretty cool.”
“That’s Qin Shaoze from the Qin family in the Demon City. You don’t even know that?”< br>
“It’s actually the young master of the Qin family?”
“No wonder he looks so embarrassed.”
"Can the members of the four major families in the Magic City not be embarrassed?"
"I never expected that such a big shot would come to this auction."
Listen to the whispers of the people around you. .
Fang Donglai on the side was very disdainful.
Who are the members of the four major families in Magic City?
Do you know the chairman of Yinhai Pharmaceutical?
Next to me now!
That Mr. Qin is a scumbag in front of Director Cheng!
But even though he thought so in his heart, Fang Donglai did not dare to say it out loud.
He is also quite good at observing faces.
He could tell that Cheng Ming didn't seem to have any intention of revealing his identity when he participated in the auction, so he simply helped Cheng Ming act.
I just don’t know why Cheng Ming suddenly came to the Magic City? Are you suddenly going to participate in this rare treasure auction?
Did you have your eye on some treasure?
But what could be the treasure that can catch the eyes of Director Cheng?
“Welcome Mr. Wang Rong of the Magic City Wang family to the rare treasure auction!”
"Welcome Mr. Li Dengfeng of the Li family to the rare treasure auction!"
Several more "young masters of the aristocratic families" came to the venue.
Every time such a "young master" comes, the auction will be "live broadcasted", which can be said to give these rich and young people plenty of recognition.
Of course, there are also several presidents and chairman of the board of directors of large companies who have similar treatment.
Without exception, these people all entered the VIP seats.
"I thought the VIPs in the auction all had private rooms, but I didn't expect that they were just wider and closer to the front." Guan Jing said, "The identities of those VIPs were not hidden."
News Yan Chengming couldn't laugh or cry.
VIP in the box? Hidden identity?
Where does the stereotype come from?
You must have read too many male fantasy novels!
Cheng Ming could only smile helplessly.
The time finally came to three o'clock, and a beautiful cheongsam host came on stage and began to preside over the auction.
"Everyone! Welcome elites and successful people from all walks of life to come to the rare treasure auction. Our rare treasure auction will start soon!"
The beauty is very eye-catching, and her eloquence is quite good. As soon as he came on stage, he stirred up the atmosphere of the scene.
Then the auction officially began.
"First of all, let me present our first treasure of this auction! I believe you will definitely be interested in it!"
Behind the stage, another beauty in cheongsam pushed a cart up. It was covered with a piece of black cloth, and inside the black cloth was the first bid item.
"You might as well guess, what is this first rare treasure?"
The beauty put her hand on the black cloth.
A few people in the audience accepted her words, but she was not embarrassed: "No one guessed it right."
After that, she lifted up the black cloth with one hand and revealed the answer herself.
There is a painting inside.
“This painting is called the Eagle Flying Hunting Picture. It was painted by a monk named Faxuan 180 years ago. Although the work of this monk named Faxuan has never appeared before. But this painting has a good conception and solid foundation, and its painting skills are outstanding among the works of the same era."
"The starting price is 200,000!"
The painting of an unknown monk. The painting was so hyped by the auctioneer.
But apparently, her "sales pitch" worked.
When she said the base price was 200,000, several people immediately raised the price.
“Two hundred and one hundred thousand!”
“Two hundred and thirty thousand!”
“Two hundred and fifty thousand!”
However, the previous ones who raised prices did not increase their prices very much, as if they were testing.
Guan Jing asked: "Brother Ming, how much do you think this calligraphy and painting will fetch?"
Cheng Ming shook his head: "I'm not sure, I don't understand antiques, but since the appraisal is true, Yes, it is really an antique from 180 years ago. Even if it has no artistic content, it is worth more than this, right?"
Guan Jing nodded, convinced. Over there, several people increased the price, and now the price increase has reached more than 400,000.
At this moment, a few more people were eager to try.
At the VIP table, the man in a suit suddenly raised the sign in front of him.
“Six hundred thousand!”
In one fell swoop, the reserve price was raised by hundreds of thousands!
This improvement is not very large.
But at this time, no one in the audience dared to continue to increase the price.
Most of the bidders seemed hesitant to look in the direction of the young man in the VIP seat, and they seemed to be keeping silent.
The people next to Cheng Ming and others seemed to be newcomers to the auction.
There was a middle-aged man who was very puzzled.
“What’s wrong? Why doesn’t everyone stop taking pictures?”
"The painting skills of this painting are very good. Although I have never heard of the author, the artistic value of this painting itself is definitely more than that, not to mention that it is an antique from 180 years ago!"
"You don't even bid? Then I'll do it!"
After saying that, the middle-aged man raised his racket.
His friend next to him quickly stopped him.
"Are you crazy? That's Mr. Qin! You compete with him, aren't you afraid of him?"
"Who is Mr. Qin?" The middle-aged man was puzzled.
"Young Master Qin is a member of the Qin family, one of the four major families in Magic City, and he is also a core figure! He will be the heir of the Qin family in the future, wouldn't you offend him by competing with him?"
However, The middle-aged man seemed not to pay attention to his friends' reminders.
"It's just fair competition, it doesn't matter, right? Will he take revenge on me for this?"
After that, the middle-aged man raised the sign, and his friends were too late to stop him.
"I'll pay 700,000!" the middle-aged man shouted.
The host on the stage almost cried when she saw Qin Shaoze bidding.
Because normally, once Qin Shaoze bids, almost no one would dare to compete with him.
This painting is obviously worth more than 600,000 yuan.
If it is sold for 600,000 yuan, the auction house will suffer a big loss, and her commission as the auctioneer will probably be deducted by then!
Now she finally saw someone dare to participate in the auction without giving Qin Shaoze face, and she was very happy.
"This gentleman bids 700,000! Will anyone continue to increase the price?"
Qin Shaoze's eyes flashed, he glanced sideways at the middle-aged man's position, ignored him, and continued to shout price.
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"Okay! Mr. Qin has offered 800,000, is there any more?"
"Nine hundred thousand!" The middle-aged man continued to increase the price.
Now Qin Shaoze frowned slightly.
Turning his head and looking in the direction of the middle-aged man again, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Everyone could see at this time that Mr. Qin was a little angry.
The middle-aged man looked indifferent.
His friends were almost crying.
"Brother, please, stop it quickly, before Young Master Qin is really angry. You are not a native of Magic City and have no idea of the energy of Young Master Qin."
"Hey, what are you afraid of? In today's society."
But the middle-aged man doesn't trust his friends, he still goes his own way.
“One million!” Young Qin suddenly turned around and continued to bid.
At the same time, he whispered a few words to a person who looked like a bodyguard next to him, and the bodyguard left with two people.
The middle-aged man not far away from Cheng Ming and others wanted to continue to increase the price.
At this time, the middle-aged man's cell phone seemed to ring, and he exclaimed: "My car!"
Then he hurried out.
