After eating, Qian Duoer went home to make tofu, while Li Fan drove his motorcycle to the city.
The business card that the tripod seller gave him that day had the address and time on it. The name was Zenlin Auction House, and the address was in a very inconspicuous corner of the wealthy district in the old city.
I guess most people would never have thought that there was an auction house there if no one had told it.
But looking at the location and name, we can tell that this auction house probably has some background, especially since there is also the Chaofeng Cauldron that he wants to buy. It's not that this cauldron is expensive, but that it is such an extremely unpopular thing.
It is a proof to identify whether an auction house is rich or not. Such hard-to-sell items are of such high grade, which shows that there is definitely no shortage of treasures in this Zen Forest Auction House.
The auction at Zen Forest Auction House started at ten o'clock in the evening. He arrived now and it should have just started.
When he arrived at the door, Li Fan was stopped by a man in a security uniform just as he wanted to park the car.
"Hey, hey, what are you doing? Parking is not allowed here."
Li Fan looked at the parking spaces and saw that there were cars parked in them. He also parked his car in the free parking space. Why couldn't he park?
"Isn't this a parking space?"
The security guard let out a contemptuous laugh: "Did you see what kind of car is next to you? Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Phaeton, Lexus, Land Rover."
"Look at yours again? What's your car called? A tricycle?"
It turns out that a dog looks down on people, but for a character like this, I can’t blame him.
When you hang out among rich people all day long, you forget who you are, and there are people everywhere who feel that you are superior to others.
"I'm here for the auction house."
The security guard laughed as if he had heard a joke.
"You also know that there is an auction house here. Do you know what kind of auction house it is? Let alone going in to auction things, I guess you are not even qualified to go in."
Li Fan didn't want to talk nonsense, so he took out the business card given to him by the boss who sold the tripod and handed it to the security guard.
The business cards issued by this kind of auction house are very unique and will indicate the name of the partner, so that the auction house can know who introduced the new customer.
The security guard frowned as he looked at the business card and said, "Did you steal this card somewhere?"
Li Fan said nothing and glanced at him.
The security guard waved his hand, gave the business card to Li Fan, and said impatiently: "Let's go, I'll take you to the foyer. There will be verification of assets. I don't believe you can enter the foyer. What's the use of having a business card."
Although he looked down upon Li Fan, he had a business card and he was responsible for bringing him in. There were many rules in this auction house, so there was no need to lose his job because of such a person.
Looking at him wearing a white T-shirt and jeans and driving a motorcycle, you can tell that he is not a rich man.
When the time comes that he is rejected in the foyer, I will definitely humiliate him.
The two of them walked towards the yard one after another. This is indeed an auction house in the wealthy area of the city. As soon as you walk in the door, you can feel the cultural heritage, bluestone and white tiles, and large green bamboos planted everywhere.
, there are all kinds of rockeries and streams, and it is so quiet that you can only hear the chirping of birds.
Moreover, Li Fan has been traveling all over the country for many years, and his eyesight is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary people. Every brick and tile here is of the highest quality, and the Feng Shui pattern of the courtyard has definitely been carefully designed by a master.
When they arrived at the entrance to the foyer, there stood a slender woman wearing a Chinese cheongsam, her eyes scanning Li Fan's body up and down.
"Uncle Wang, what are you doing here?"
The security guard pursed his lips in the direction of Li Fan and said, "He's here to take pictures."
The woman rolled her eyes visibly and said in an exaggerated tone: "Uncle Wang, are you making a mistake?"
Li Fan took out the business card just now and handed it to the woman.
She looked at the business card and muttered: "Fat Shen, do you still want to cooperate with Chanlin? Why do you invite everyone?"
Then he said to Li Fan: "Okay, sir, show me your asset certificate. If you don't have it, you need to give me a bank card with a deposit of more than one million yuan."
Li Fan was stunned. How could he have a bank card with a deposit of more than one million? Is the threshold of this auction house so high?
He originally thought that 300,000 yuan was enough, but it seemed that he could only think of other ways. It was not easy to come here, and he didn't want to let go of such a good cauldron.
Looking at Li Fan's expression, the woman knew that as expected, Li Fan could not afford that much money.
"Please ask around. This is the Zen Forest Auction House. How dare you come here if you don't have money."
As she said that, she rolled her eyes again.
"That's right, I suspect that he may have stolen this business card." The security guard was helping.
"Why don't you drive them away? Mr. Lin will be here soon."
"Who is Mr. Lin?" Li Fan asked after hearing this title.
When we went down the mountain with the old man before, we also rescued a man named Lin in the city. Everyone called him Mr. Lin. He was a serious old aristocrat in the city, named Lin Deshui.
Among the wealthy people in this city, the one who is so valued by the Zen Forest Auction has a surname of Lin, so it is almost likely that he is Lin Deshui.
Li Fan's eyes lit up, wasn't it almost here?
"What does it have to do with you? It's ridiculous."
"Is it Lin Deshui, the youngest Lin?"
"Oh, I didn't expect you to know Mr. Lin." The woman smiled disdainfully: "It's useless to know. I'm in the same world as you."
"I know Mr. Lin, can I come in?"
The security guard and the woman looked at each other and then laughed.
"Uncle Wang, hahaha, I was laughing so hard. Did you hear him say who he knew?"
"You brat, you can brag and you don't know how to write a draft." The security guard said, "How dare you cling to Mr. Lin? If you say so, then I also know Mr. Lin. I'll ask who in this city doesn't know Mr. Lin, but does Mr. Lin know you?" "
"That's funny, Uncle Wang, get this guy out quickly. I'm afraid he's going crazy, and it won't be good if he disturbs Mr. Lin."
"Come on, you country bumpkin!"
Since Li Fan came today and knew that he would see Lin Deshui in a while, he hadn't taken any photos yet, so how could he just return without success.
Seeing that Li Fan refused to leave, the security guard said a few words into the intercom, and several tall bodyguards wearing black suits appeared behind Li Fan.
Generally, security guards are used to watch the doors. The real thugs who protect the auction house are these bodyguards.
Li Fan looked at these people. Although he was here to buy things today and didn't want to do anything, he would not let people prey on them if he had to.
"Still not leaving?" The security guard looked at Li Fan, and then said to the bodyguard: "Brothers, throw out this poor loser who is making trouble."
Just when the atmosphere on both sides was tense and about to start a fight, an urgent voice came.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? Everyone who comes here is a guest, so what's the etiquette? Mr. Lin is here and he still won't get out of the way."
I saw a man wearing civil robes bowing his waist slightly, followed by an old man with white hair. The old man looked distinguished at first sight. Behind him, there were two bodyguards, and the group was about seven meters away from Li Fan and the others.
