In the following time, people came to participate in the auction one after another.
Most of them came to join in the fun. Although the auction was not a big one, the Yu family brought out some quite valuable treasures every year.
Rich people love to collect things. If they come across one or two things that they like, buying them can be regarded as replenishing their collection room.
By coincidence, the Yan family, who had previously had conflicts with Chen Qi, also appeared at the auction.
In fact, the reason why Yan Cheng came to participate was to participate in this auction.
Not long after, it will be Yan Cheng's father's fiftieth birthday.
Yan Cheng's father likes to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, and he heard that at this auction, a Ming Dynasty calligraphy and painting will appear.
Yan Cheng then thought of buying it and giving it to his father as a birthday gift.
At this time, I saw a few figures hurriedly coming from outside and found a corner to sit down.
"Huh~~ I'm glad I caught up. This auction is the highlight of today, so I can't miss it." Xu Yangyu said with a sigh of relief.
Just now, Xu Yangyu had been being scolded by his father, Xu Changguo, and he finally came over in a hurry when it was over.
Tang Wenxing and others looked around and marveled, "Is this an auction? It's really grand!"
"Yes, following Mr. Xu here today really gave me a lot of experience."
"If it weren't for Xu Shao, we might never experience an occasion like this once in our lifetime."
Xu Yangyu waved his hand indifferently, "As long as you follow me from now on, this kind of situation will be no longer strange."
At this time, someone suddenly nodded at Xu Yangyu, "Mr. Xu, look over there."
Xu Yangyu took a closer look and saw a familiar figure sitting at the front of the guest seats.
"Is it that Chen Qi again? Why does this guy always linger?" Xu Yangyu said bitterly.
Although he has now learned that Chen Qi has Yuan Shang as his backer, which he cannot afford to offend.
Moreover, Xu Changguo also repeatedly warned him just now that whenever he sees Chen Qi in the future, he should stay far away and never antagonize him.
But this didn't stop him from hating Chen Qi.
At this time, the auction hall suddenly became quiet.
I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the auction table in front of him politely.
He first bowed to the guests in the audience, and then spoke aloud
, with a loud voice.
"Dear guests, welcome to the small auction held by Yu's family. I am Wu De, the master of ceremonies! I will be hosting this auction today. I feel very honored!"
"If you have wine today, you will be drunk today, and tomorrow you will be worried!"
"I hope that this wonderful night can make you forget your sorrow and enjoy the joy!"
…
Wu De made some simple greetings and announced the start of the auction.
The first auction item was a piece of porcelain, claimed to be a work of art from the late Qing Dynasty.
The starting price was 8 million, and was finally purchased by a wealthy businessman for 20 million.
The second piece was a screen embroidered with images of plain girls in spring, which was sold for 18 million.
In this way, seven or eight items were auctioned one after another, but none of them failed to sell.
After all, there are many rich people here today, and the richer a person is, the more he fears others will not know about it.
Even if you are not interested in these antique collections, for the sake of face, you will still participate in them and bid for them several times.
During this period, Yuan Shang also made several bids and purchased a pair of painting fans.
Chen Qi has been sitting there, drinking tea from a cup, enjoying himself, not caring about what is happening in the outside world.
Until the tenth photo was taken.
"The next auction item is an ink painting from the Ming Dynasty, titled. It is reported that this painting was a collection in the imperial palace at that time. It has been missing for a long time, and recently it suddenly appeared in front of the world. Guests who like to collect antiques
, can’t miss it.”
As soon as these words came out, many wealthy businessmen present sat up slightly, with the intention of taking action.
It seems that this painting must be well-known in this circle, otherwise it would not attract so many people's attention.
Wu De didn't waste any time and quoted the lowest price directly.
"The base price is 10 million, and each bid increase must not be less than 1 million. The auction opens..."
Before Wu De finished speaking, someone couldn't wait to make an offer.
"Eleven million!"
Wu De smiled slightly and said, "This gentleman is offering a price of eleven million. Is there anything higher?"
"Twelve million!"
"Thirteen million!"
…
"Twenty million!"
At this time, someone in the Yan family crowd raised his hand to indicate that he was a follower of the Yan family.
Yan Cheng, on the other hand, had an indifferent expression and raised his eyebrows
The legs are sitting there.
When others saw this, they started talking in low voices.
"Young Master Yan actually made a bid!"
"Everyone adds one million to one million, but he immediately added seven million. As expected, rich people are brave!"
"Since Young Master Yan has taken action, I think we should not fight anymore."
…
The prestige of the Yan family in Fancheng was already at its peak.
As Yan Cheng is the next generation heir to the head of the Yan family, even if he doesn't make friends with him, he can't make enemies with him.
Otherwise, it would be no joke if the other party takes notice of you.
As a result, many wealthy businessmen who were interested in it stopped increasing their prices.
On Chen Qi's side, Suzaku looked at Chen Qi, waiting for his reaction.
But Chen Qi took a sip of tea, then gently put the tea cup down and raised his hand slightly.
"Fifty million."
Wow~~~
As soon as he finished speaking, there was an uproar in the whole place.
Fifty million, this is the highest price quoted at today's auction.
Putting aside this for now, the most important thing is that someone actually dares to fight for it even if the Yan family takes action.
What kind of courage is this, what kind of courage is this?
Many people craned their necks to see who was so bold!
"Let me go, is that Chen Qi starting to cause trouble again?" Tang Wenxing said in horror when he saw such a scene in the corner of the hall.
Cheng Yao was also surprised, "Is he trying to completely anger Yan Cheng?"
Xu Yangyu sneered, "Isn't this better? He wants to die on his own, who can blame him?"
Sure enough, in the crowd of Yan family, Yan Cheng was slightly surprised when he heard that someone had increased the price.
When he saw that the person who increased the price was Chen Qi, his expression suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"This kid, does he think he dares to stand on my head and shit with Mr. Yuan backing him?"
Yan Cheng raised his hand and shouted, "Sixty million."
At the same time, Chen Qi also raised his hand, "One hundred million."
One word stirred up a thousand waves.
"Nima, did I hear that right? That person offered a price of 100 million?"
"Oh my god, 100 million, just to buy a painting? Is he crazy?"
"Isn't it? Fifty million is already far beyond the value of the painting itself, and now it's actually asking for 100 million. Did he pick up the money?"
