As soon as the first person bid, there was a second and third one.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"I'll pay 180,000."
…
The price kept rising, and soon reached 300,000 yuan, even though the bidder had no idea what was inside the box.
Xue Chen slowly took his eyes away from the square wooden box, lowered his head and began to think.
On the side, Gao Dewei saw that after several more biddings, the price had reached 500,000. He chuckled and said, "I finally understand. These people are willing to bid without even knowing anything about the auction. They must want to take advantage of this."
It must be an opportunity to show my goodwill to Rong Tianfeng. Think about it, if you are willing to pay a big price to buy an auction item without even seeing its appearance, Rong Tianfeng will definitely take a high look. If you have anything to do in the future, please go to Rong Tianfeng.
If you want to do it, you won’t be rejected.”
After hearing Gao Dewei's analysis, Xue Chen felt that it meant something like this, otherwise there would be no need for these people to continuously increase prices.
Soon, the price reached the one million mark. There are not many lots that can reach the price of one million. What's more, this lot has not even shown its face, so it can reach this price, which can be said to be very unusual.
"This kid Rong Tianfeng is really full of calculations. When today's incident comes out, Rong Tianfeng's reputation will definitely increase a lot. He auctioned the items at high prices without showing their appearance. It's so face-saving, and it's for charity.
It really kills two birds with one stone." Gao Dewei said in a low voice.
After dozens of bids, this item, which I had no idea what it was, reached an incredible price of two million!
When the auction price reached two million, the bidding speed finally slowed down. After all, no one's money comes from the strong wind. Even if it is to establish friendship with Rong Tianfeng, who has an extraordinary family background, and to show his kindness, he still has to think about it.
pay.
And two million seems to be the limit for everyone to bid. After all, not everyone wants to be friends with Rong Tianfeng. If there is a worthless garbage in the box, wouldn't it be a big loss?
"Two million three hundred thousand."
When a middle-aged man in a suit who looked like a businessman raised the price again, no one bid for a long time.
Jing Yunxing, who was standing on the stage, glanced at the audience. When he saw that no one was bidding anymore, he nodded and was about to announce the ownership of the lot. But at this moment, someone increased the price again.
"Two million three hundred and fifty thousand."
The guests present subconsciously looked at the bidder, and when they saw it, they all showed a look of surprise.
Gao Dewei turned to look at Xue Chen who was standing next to him. He was very surprised by Xue Chen's sudden bid and couldn't understand it: "Brother Xue, you..."
"Two million and four hundred thousand!" The businessman who had just bid two million and three hundred thousand raised the price again.
"Two million four hundred and fifty thousand." Xue Chen also raised the price.
The businessman was about to shout 2.5 million, but he swallowed the words again. He wanted to establish a friendship with Rong Tianfeng, but he also had to consider the value and whether it was worth it. Everyone in Rong Tianfeng
If we weren't here, even if we were to take a photo of this thing, how useful would it be? After thinking about it again and again, he wasn't asking for a price.
Jing Yunxing also looked at Xue Chen in surprise. Seeing that no one was bidding again, he nodded and said, "Then this lot belongs to Mr. Xue."
The etiquette lady held the colorful square wooden box on a tray, twisted her two long legs, came to Xue Chen, bent her waist, and placed the square wooden box in front of Xue Chen.
Jing Yunxing also announced at this moment that all the lots were sold!
Next it was time for the dinner, and various dishes and drinks were presented in a smooth manner.
When Xue Chen started to open the square wooden box that looked a bit dated, many guests around him turned their heads and stared at it without blinking, wanting to see what the lot Rong Tianfeng had placed inside was.
.
Others were very curious, but Xue Chen had already seen it through fluoroscopy, so he was not surprised at all when he saw the gold business card placed in the wooden box. But when he took out the gold business card, the eyes of the surrounding guests quietly changed.
change.
Gao Dewei blurted out: "It turned out to be Rong Tianfeng's golden business card. I didn't expect it."
Xue Chen took this gold business card in his hand and glanced at it. He noticed the changes in the eyes around him and asked, "Why, does this thing have any special meaning?"
Jing Yunxing, who came down from the stage and was sitting at the same table, took a look at the gold business cards and said, "I don't know when, Rong Tianfeng made a batch of gold business cards by himself, and occasionally gives them to some people, as long as they hold the gold business cards.
If you go to him, Rong Tianfeng will not refuse as long as it is within your ability."
"Oh, that's how it is." Xue Chen laughed out loud, but he didn't expect that Rong Tianfeng, whom he had never met before, had some ideas.
Jing Yunxing continued: "Rong Tianfeng himself has a high level and is in the energy department, so he has great authority. Coupled with the influence of the Rong family in the capital, Rong Tianfeng is indeed capable of solving many ordinary people's troubles. He once
A coal boss in Xishan spent 10 million to buy a golden business card from Rong Tianfeng, just to ask Rong Tianfeng to help solve a coal mine license problem."
Many of the guests present also knew the anecdote about Rong Tianfeng's gold business card, so when they saw a gold business card in the wooden box, some people felt a little regretful. If they had known it was a gold business card, the price would have been higher.
You have to get it, Rong Tianfeng is not alone, there is the Rong family behind him, this golden business card can accomplish so many things!
The businessman who just made the final bid with Xue Chen was filled with regret because he wanted to ask Rong Tianfeng for a favor!
Snap.
Xue Chen casually threw the gold business card on the table in front of Gao Dewei: "I have no use for this thing, you can take it."
After Gao Dewei took it in his hand, he was confused for a moment: "Xue Chen, what are you doing?"
"Oh, it's useless if I want it. You can give it to whoever likes it." Xue Chen said nonchalantly, his eyes resting on the square wooden box in his hand, squinting at it.
Gao Dewei originally thought that Xue Chen's sudden bid had the same thoughts as the others. After hearing him mention Rong Tianfeng's background, he wanted to get acquainted with him, but now it seems that he was wrong.
?
But why did he bid? After he asked, Xue Chen smiled lightly and pointed to the wooden box in his hand: "This is why I bid."
"What? Are you bidding for this wooden box?" Gao Dewei opened his mouth. This answer did not surprise him.
Even Jing Yunxing was stunned.
None of the other guests around had thought of this. They were bidding at a high price not for the sake of friendship with Rong Tianfeng, but for the wooden box containing the business card?
"this……"
Xue Chen smiled lightly and said: "I don't have anything to ask Rong Tianfeng to help me solve. Why should I spend more than two million to befriend him?"
Seeing that Xue Chen didn't care at all about the golden business card that many people wanted to get, guests immediately came forward and asked for the business card, even offering a price of three million.
"I gave it to him, please tell him." Xue Chen pointed at Gao Dewei, not wanting to be entangled by those guests.
Gao Dewei rolled his eyes and smiled: "Sorry, if you don't want to sell it, I'll keep it for myself. Maybe I can use it in the future."
Xue Chen glanced at Gao Dewei. From the way Gao Dewei talked about Rong Tianfeng, he could feel that there seemed to be a gap between the two. Now that he had left this golden business card that allowed Rong Tianfeng to respond to his requests, it must have been a hug.
What's the plan?
Seeing Gao Dewei put up the gold business card, some guests who wanted to make friends with Rong Tianfeng returned disappointed.
Jing Yunxing saw that Xue Chen was very interested in the square wooden box in his hand and asked, "Is this box very precious?"
Xue Chen put down the box and said thoughtfully: "I can't say it's precious. It should just be something from the Republic of China period, but I'm a little interested."
Jing Yunxing didn't ask any further questions. Since Rong Tianfeng wanted this box to hold gold business cards, it meant that this box was definitely not a very precious antique.
When the charity dinner was over, Xue Chen returned to the hotel, sat on the bed, held the wooden box, and looked at it carefully.
He did not deceive Jing Yunxing. This wooden box was indeed from the Republic of China, and its value did not exceed 30,000 yuan. However, what Xue Chen was interested in was not the value of the wooden box, but the pictures painted on the four sides of the wooden box.
pattern!
Although the pattern on the wooden box has a lot of wear and tear, it can be vaguely seen that the four sides of the wooden box are painted with a simple story.
On one side, there is a painting of a man wearing a robe and a scarf pointing to a mountain, seeming to be signaling something to the person next to him.
The second picture that follows shows many people coming to the place where the previous picture was.
The third picture shows many people digging with earth-moving tools at the foot of the mountain.
The last pattern showed some people carrying burdens and picking things out from the mountains. Next to it were several cursive scripts with dragons and snakes. Although it was very blurry, Xue Chen still recognized a few words: Shen Sanxiu opened the mountain.
To be precise, Xue Chen will bid more than 2 million yuan for his painting, precisely because of these five words!
Shen Sanxiu is also Shen Wansan. Obviously, these four pictures tell a short story about Shen Wansan.
"Kaishan..."
Xue Chen thought about it in his mind and easily understood the meaning of these four pictures.
Shen Wansan seemed to have discovered some kind of mineral deposit in a large mountain, so he ordered people to mine the mountain and dug out a lot of mineral deposits. As for what kind of mineral deposits it was, it was impossible to tell from the pictures.
Ever since he deduced that the ancient jade he obtained was once owned by Shen Wansan, he has been paying close attention to any documents and anecdotes about Shen Wansan, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy this wooden box today.
At this time, it seemed that this wooden box had no other use except for painting a short story about Shen Wansan that was not known to be true or false? He stared at the first picture for a long time...
In Beijing, in a mansion with an area of more than 200 square meters on the 38th floor, an extraordinary man stands in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the brightly lit capital, and is talking on the phone. This man is known as the Eight Elites of Beijing.
