"Brother He, how much did you spend on this batch of golden nanmu?" Chang Xing asked.
"I calculated that the total is probably several million. It is much higher than the market price. The main reason is that what I want is aniseed, which ordinary people cannot supply. And I want to get it as soon as possible. In this way, I can only
I'll give you double the money. Don't worry, I'll just charge the market price for the materials. I don't have any objection if you don't pay for the materials." He Chengyu was willing to give up the big head, so naturally he was also willing to give up the small head.
"That's not what I meant. The bid has reached 20 million now. If the deal is made at this price, we won't lose money, right?" Chang Xing asked.
"How come it's not a loss? What a loss. It's such a loss to sell such a good thing at such a low price. This is a complete set of golden nanmu furniture. How difficult is it to get a set of golden nanmu furniture now?
?The difficulty is simply beyond your imagination. What’s more, even if you get golden nanmu, where can you find a carpenter with your skills? Even a very good carpenter can make such a classic look.
It’s not easy anymore. The lifelike wood carvings on the furniture are art. Let the wood carving master come over. Who dares to say that he can carve better than you? The materials are excellent, the woodworking is excellent, and the carving is excellent. It can be regarded as the three unique furniture
, such a rare treasure is only sold for such a cabbage price, I will be angry to death, but brother Chang, don’t worry, I tell you, this set of golden nanmu furniture will definitely have a very shocking price
.Didn’t you see that the rich people over there haven’t started raising their placards yet?” He Chengyu said.
Chang Xing looked in the direction of He Chengyu's finger. The few people sitting not far away were indeed very impressive. They were holding tea and savoring it carefully, as if they were not attending an auction but coming to taste tea.
.
When Chang Xing looked over, there was another person holding a cup of tea and gestured to Chang Xing and said hello from a distance. Chang Xing also greeted the person with a tea cup.
"That person is not simple. Huo Zhengxiang, the head of the Huo family, is the talkative person of the Huo family, one of the four major families in Xiangjiang." He Chengyu quickly introduced to Chang Xing.
"He seems to know that I am the carpenter who made this set of furniture." Chang Xing said.
When the asking price reached 30 million, the atmosphere began to become quiet, and many people began to hold their breath.
"Brother Zhengxiang, who is the young man sitting next to He Chengyu? Is he the illegitimate son of He Chengyu?" Li Jinhong asked.
"How is it possible? Haven't you seen that He Chengyu has been fawning over this young man? I think this person should be the carpenter He Chengyu hired from the mainland." Huo Zhengxiang said.
"How is it possible? To be able to make such beautiful furniture at such a young age? Shouldn't someone with such skills be a master craftsman who has been immersed in carpentry skills for decades?" Li Jinhong said in disbelief.
"If he hadn't been this young man, would He Chengyu have been so respectful to him? I heard that He Chengyu had changed the feng shui of his family. It was also the man from the mainland who helped. This man was so extraordinary that He Chengyu had been bedridden for many years.
Both parents' illnesses have been cured. Judging from He Chengyu's attitude towards this young man, it seems that all these things were done by this young man," Huo Zhengxiang said.
"30 million, the second time."
"It seems we have to stop chatting, it's our turn to take action." Huo Zhengxiang smiled at Li Jinhong.
Li Jinhong added ten million as soon as he opened his mouth: "Forty million."
"Brother Jin Hong, after so many years, you are still so stingy. If you just add 100 million, I will give up immediately." Huo Zhengxiang said with a smile.
"Brother Zhengxiang, we have agreed that you can't take it from me," Li Jinhong said.
"You are so stingy, do you still need me to rob you?" Huo Zhengxiang said.
Sure enough, as soon as Huo Zhengxiang finished speaking, Zheng Kuncheng, a young man from the Zheng family, unceremoniously raised the bidding price to 50 million.
The whole audience was shocked by this. As expected of someone from the four major families, his move was extraordinary. As soon as he started, he raised the price very quickly.
People who had been involved before finally understood that it was not that the four major families were not interested in this set of furniture, but that they simply did not want to do useless work or watch these people's jokes.
"Xiao Zheng, you still have to be polite. We are your uncles. You are aggressive when you come up. It's so unruly." Li Jinhong said to Zheng Kuncheng.
"Uncle Jin Hong, you are of the uncle generation. Respecting the old and loving the young has to be done according to the occasion. Where is this place? The auction house, since you have come to the auction house, you must follow the rules of the auction house, and the one with the highest price will get it. Uncle Jin Hong,
I can't just watch you take away good things at low prices just because you are an elder, right?" Zheng Kuncheng said.
Li Jinhong really had nothing to say: "When I meet your father, Zheng Zhigang, I will ask him carefully, is this how your Zheng family teaches the younger generations?"
Zheng Kuncheng's father, Zheng Zhigang, is the talker of the Zheng family. Therefore, Zheng Kuncheng is the most popular candidate for future successor.
Zheng Kuncheng said with a smile: "When I came here, my father specifically told me that if other uncles bid with me, they would give in, but there is an uncle named Li Jinhong, so I must not let him."
"Why?" Li Jinhong asked puzzledly.
"Yes, I was surprised too, so I asked why. My father said that you are old and disrespectful, and you like to take advantage of others. You must have made up your mind to get this golden nanmu set this time. Let me
We must not let you succeed." Zheng Kuncheng said.
Li Jinhong was a little embarrassed: "Your father, Zheng Zhigang, is not a good person either."
"You scolded my father in front of me. It seems that your character is really bad. I think my father's instructions were indeed correct." Zheng Kuncheng said.
Li Jinhong was so angry that he couldn't get angry yet, so he was so angry that he was half dead.
"Fifty million one time, one time, fifty million, is there any increase in the price? If you want to bid for this extremely rare set of golden nanmu furniture and experience the life of an emperor, you have to make up your mind quickly." The auctioneer said very hard.
Bewitching.
Huo Zhengxiang held up the sign and increased the price by ten million again.
When Li Jinhong saw that Huo Zhengxiang was also preparing to bid, he immediately became anxious: "Brother Zhengxiang, don't you have a very exquisite set of red sandalwood furniture at home? It is not inferior to this set of furniture. Why do you have to snatch it from me, my brother?"
Huo Zhengxiang smiled and said: "I said, even if I don't rob you, someone will still rob you, and you may not be able to win. Rather than helping others, I might as well take action myself."
Seeing that the smell of gunpowder in the auction house was getting stronger and stronger, the smile on He Chengyu's face became stronger and stronger.
"You see, if these four major families don't take action, they will have to fight to the death. The four major families in Xiangjiang have not survived for so many years. None of them are simple." He Chengyu said.
He Chengyu secretly introduced the bidders to Chang Xing one by one.
"If they spend a high price to buy our things, will they hate you?" Chang Xing asked.
"Of course not. If you want to hate them, you also hate those who robbed them of things." He Chengyu said with a smile.
After Huo Zhengxiang raised the price, only the Guo family among the four major families did not bid. All eyes turned to Guo Yaowen, the nephew of Guo Hongjie, the head of the Guo family.
Guo Yaowen didn't seem to be interested in this set of golden nanmu at all, and was drinking tea by himself. Guo Yaowen and Zheng Kuncheng had a good relationship. The two of them were sitting together.
"Guo Yaowen, stop drinking. Are you not interested in this set of furniture at all?" Zheng Kuncheng asked.
"What's so good about this furniture? How is it different from solid wood furniture made of ordinary wood?" Guo Yaowen said disdainfully.
"The difference is huge. Ordinary wood does not have the special wood grain of golden nanmu, nor does it have the special fragrance of golden nanmu. This fragrance is very special and can repel mosquitoes." Zheng Kuncheng said.
"What you said can be done with a mosquito repellent and a bottle of perfume," Guo Yaowen said.
"Are you pretending to be stupid or do you really not understand?" Zheng Kuncheng was anxious, "Can golden nanmu furniture be the same as ordinary furniture? Forget it, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, just drink your tea slowly."
"Seventy million!" Zheng Kuncheng said.
Huo Zhengxiang couldn't help but frown. It was really troublesome to have this young boy disrupt the situation.
"Brother Jin Hong, I'll let you bid first this time." Huo Zhengxiang said.
The bidding has reached 70 million, and Li Jinhong's palms began to sweat.
When Huo Zhengxiang saw Li Jinhong's appearance, he was very disdainful. No wonder the head of the Li family is Li Jinsheng and not Li Jinhong. Li Jinhong is indeed inferior to Li Jinsheng.
Li Jinhong hesitated for a long time before finally raising the sign like a dynamite bag. The bidding reached 80 million.
Zheng Kuncheng glanced at Li Jinhong jokingly. He could also see that Li Jinhong was dying. However, Huo Zhengxiang next to Li Jinhong was difficult to deal with.
Although Chang Xing felt calm, he was still quite shocked that these big families spent money like bidding for land. To these people, money is just like money paper. But this is not money paper after all. These people are buying a set of furniture.
, the entire Xianjiqiao team has worked so hard for hundreds of years that they can’t make any money. Of course, this is only for the current Xianjiqiao brigade, who can see clearly what the future will be like.
Zheng Kuncheng glanced at Guo Yaowen and saw that Guo Yaowen was pretending to read a book, so he didn't bother to pay attention to him and directly increased it by ten million.
Li Jinhong kept wiping his sweat. This figure had reached the limit that Li Jinhong could bear. He shook his head and was not ready to continue quoting.
Huo Zhengxiang waved his hand and raised the offer by 100 million.
"Over 100 million! These big families are so cruel. They spend over 100 million for a set of furniture!"
"Yeah, what's so good about this set of furniture? At most, it's more comfortable than ordinary wooden furniture. It's really not worth the high price."
"So you will be a member of the lower class your whole life, while others will be a member of the upper class their whole life."
…
There was a lot of discussion among the people participating in the auction in the auction house.
