Chapter 358 New Years Auction (Thank you Liang, leader)
Xu Chunliang said: "Didn't we agree on eight o'clock?" He raised his wrist and looked at the time. It was still three minutes before eight o'clock. He had a strong sense of time and was rarely late, but he also had no habit of arriving too early.
.
Pu Jian stamped his feet and said, "I came early. Have you eaten yet?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head, and Pu Jian pointed to the bun shop next to him: "Let's go, I'll treat you!"
The two ordered breakfast and sat down near the window. Through the window, they could clearly see the entrance of Xinbaoli Building.
Xu Chunliang said: "Brother Pu, when should we go in?"
"The auction officially starts at ten o'clock. Don't be in a hurry. Let's eat first."
Xu Chunliang was a little speechless. It officially started at 10:30. You asked me to come here so early in the morning. Why is this Pu Jian a bit unreliable in his work? Will he have to disguise himself and sneak in quietly later? Xu Chunliang regrets finding this person.
The goods helped.
Pu Jian was watching short videos while eating, and from time to time he would let out a few silly laughs. He dared to come here to use the air-conditioning WIFI.
At half past nine, Mo Han called and asked where he was.
Xu Chunliang told her that he was at the Dongzhou Liaison Office in Beijing.
Mo Han said: "Then come out, I'll be at the door of Dongzhou Hotel."
Xu Chunliang said: "Unfortunately, I am outside at the moment."
"Liar, Xu Chunliang doesn't tell the truth."
At this time Pu Jian saw something, got up and walked out the door.
"I have something to do, let's talk later." Xu Chunliang hung up the phone and followed Pu Jian.
On the other end of the phone, Mo Han was so angry at this guy that he gritted his teeth and said, "Liar!"
At this time, a man passing by smiled at her.
Mo Han thought that the other person was a shameless lecher, so he glared at him fiercely.
The man said: "Miss, are you looking for Xu Chunliang?"
Only then did Mo Han feel that the other person looked familiar. After thinking about it, they seemed to have met at the Nanjiang Party School, so he nodded.
The man smiled and said: "My name is Yan Jinsong. I am Xu Chunliang's classmate. I met you in the Nanjiang Party School library."
Mo Han smiled calmly and said, "When you said that, I remembered it."
Yan Jinsong said: "Xu Chunliang went out early in the morning, please call him."
Mo Han asked: "Where did he go?"
"Participating in the Baoli New Year Auction, it seems to be in the new Baoli Building."
"thank you!"
Pu Jian came to a Range Rover on the other side of the road, looked inside, waved hello, then opened the back door and got in. Xu Chunliang also got in the car with him, and Pu Jian asked him to sit in the passenger seat.
After Pu Jian got in the car, he bowed his head to the rich middle-aged man in the back seat and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Hong, thank you for your help this time."
The middle-aged man was Hong Shidong, the CEO of Tianhong Group, who gave Pu Jian two bottles of Maotai. He had bought things from Pu Jian in the past.
Hong Shidong smiled crookedly, his expression a little cold, and glanced at Xu Chunliang with his small eyes: "He is your cousin?"
Pu Jiandao: "Yes, Xu Chunliang, my cousin is from Dongzhou. This is Mr. Hong, please call me!"
Xu Chunliang called Mr. Hong. He now understood Pu Jian's tricks. What he said last night was all bragging, but no matter what, he still found a way to sneak him in.
Pu Jian said with a flattering look on his face: "Mr. Hong, don't mind. This kid just graduated from college and doesn't have much knowledge."
Hong Shidong said: "College students, it's good to broaden your horizons." He asked the driver to drive, and specifically told him not to talk nonsense after entering, let alone raise his hands randomly, and just stay silent.
The two followed Hong Shidong into the auction site smoothly, but even the accompanying persons had to verify their identities and register.
The auction officially started at 10:30, and some people were already at the scene. The auction house is also a social place, and many people get to know each other through this occasion.
Hong Shidong met a few acquaintances and went over to say hello, but we didn't need to say much. How is your strength? We will see the real results at the auction.
Pu Jian told Xu Chunliang in a low voice that this Hong Shidong was a frequent visitor to the auction house. He liked to collect porcelain and jades, and his net worth should be several billion. Anyone who could come to the auction house today would have a net worth of several hundred million.
Xu Chunliang said that was not necessarily the case. At least neither of them together could have a net worth of over 100 million, so they had both sneaked in.
The on-site service staff gave them a brochure for today's auction. Xu Chunliang opened it and looked at it. The necklace Pu Jian mentioned was also among them. This necklace also had a beautiful name: Tears of the Stars. It looked like
Very beautiful.
Pu Jian whispered: "The starting price is 10 million. This price is enough." In the auction here, the auction company will take 10% of the transaction price, which means that for this lot alone, they will guarantee a minimum of 10 million.
A profit of 1.5 million was pocketed.
He got a sign from somewhere, and the bidding number was 74. It seemed that he was not bragging about being a member.
Pu Jian was quite proud. Not all the items in today's auction were expensive. Maybe he could find something missing today. Of course, this possibility is slim. Rich people don't care about the price of good things, and he himself doesn't appreciate bad things.
Above, in this era of universal cultural and entertainment, it has become increasingly difficult to pick up the slack.
It's getting closer and closer to the start of the auction, and almost all the guests attending the auction that day have arrived.
Behind them there are two rows of people responsible for accepting phone calls from buyers behind the scenes.
Pu Jian hit Xu Chunliang with his arm, and then three men walked in from the outside. One of them was in his mid-twenties, tall and tall, with an expression on his face full of coldness, arrogance and arrogance. He was Wang Jiancheng.
Pu Jian whispered in Xu Chunliang's ear: "A serious noble in the capital, rich and powerful."
Pu Jian said this to mean that you are incomparable with others. When the auction starts, you Xu Chunliang will understand that you will not be able to earn the money that others spend casually in a few lifetimes, and they also say that Mei Ruxue is your daughter.
Friends, let's just talk about this in private. Don't let Wang Jiancheng hear it, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around.
Hong Shidong, who was sitting next to Pu Jian, tilted his head and chatted with the man next to him. When Wang Jiancheng passed by, Hong Shidong waved to him, but Wang Jiancheng didn't notice his presence at all and walked over as if there was no one around. Hong Shidong was also a little embarrassed.
, the hand that was frozen in mid-air touched his hair.
There are a lot of people worth billions in the capital. Being rich doesn't necessarily mean you have face.
The auction officially started at 10:30, and the few things auctioned at the beginning were not particularly important. They were hot spots, and the reserve prices were not high.
Pu Jian also took a photo of a jasper bottle from the Ming Dynasty, which was sold for 80,000 yuan. He was quite proud of it. This incident alone was enough for him to brag about for half a year.
These auctions are provided for new guests to practice their skills. Senior auctioneers like Hong Shidong will not waste energy on such small things.
Twenty minutes after the warm-up session, the bidding for the first main item began. This is a copper stove from the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It has a relatively flat body, a thin lip, a short neck, and a bulging belly. The double piercing ears are thin and tilted outward.
The ear hole is semi-circular, not the obvious high city gate hole shape in the Qing Dynasty, but is a characteristic of the transitional period between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The bottom supports three short nipples, which are tilted outward. The inner bore has turned, shoveled and radioactive knife marks, which is
A legacy of the late Ming Dynasty.
Due to years of burning incense and cultivating in plates, the patina is deep and thick. The outer wall is yellow with black flashes, and the inner wall is dark and shiny. The upper wall is thin and the lower is thick, and the weight is concentrated in the lower half. Although the size is not large, it is unusually heavy on the hand, and the copper is visible.
Refined.
A small rectangular frame is opened in the center of the furnace bottom, and the seal script "Indifferent and Tranquil" is lightly engraved inside. The layout is full and the structure is rectangular, following the style of gold and stone. The content of the inscription is the smallest number of poems and verses among private money, which means indifferent and tranquil, and the literati
Desire for those with lofty ideals.
The auctioneer gave a base price of one million, and Hong Shidong waved to Pu Jian. Pu Jian came over and expressed his opinion. In his opinion, the incense burner could be worth two million, and he would not recommend it any higher.
Pu Jian's reputation for collection and appreciation is by no means unfounded, and he still has two brushes.
At this time, the bidding in the venue had reached 1.3 million. Hong Shidong was not in a hurry to bid. When the bids from both parties reached 1.5 million, the auctioneer started counting.
Hong Shidong had just made his bid at this time and raised the bidding sign No. 76.
The auctioneer's voice brought out the emotion of the scene just right: "One million six hundred thousand! Are there any other bids?"
There were no other bids at the scene. The auctioneer made the final decision and Hong Shidong successfully placed the bid.
The next lots were more valuable than the last, the bidding competition was fierce and the scene was exciting.
Xu Chunliang and Pu Jian have been completely reduced to spectators. Pu Jian yawned and began to feel bored. An auction like this must be participated in person to be interesting. Unfortunately, he was powerless and now he has completely lost the sense of involvement.
Because he drank too much soy milk in the morning, Pu Jian got up and went to the bathroom. He asked Xu Chunliang to hold the sign for him and told him not to lift it. In fact, it was useless to lift it. Most of the subsequent auctions would require a deposit.
Only then will you be eligible for auction.
As soon as Pu Jian left, it was time for the auction of Tears of the Stars.
When Xu Chunliang was listening to the auctioneer's introduction, someone came and sat down next to him. He thought Pu Jian was back, but when he turned around, it was Mo Han.
Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment. She didn't know how she found this place. Did she install a tracking locator for herself? But she used to collect business intelligence, so this shouldn't be a problem for her.
Mo Han said: "I've been waiting for you for three days to see each other with admiration. That's right. I actually came here to bid for Baoli."
"Who are you looking down on?"
At this time, the auctioneer emphasized the precautions for the auction. This String of Tears of Stars necklace is only eligible for auction if a deposit is paid, and the deposit is one million yuan.
As soon as Xu Chunliang heard the precautions, he understood that Pu Jian was not qualified at all.
Looking at the sign in Mo Han's hand, her bidding number is No. 98. I wonder if she is qualified?
Mo Han understood his meaning from his greedy eyes: "What? What bad idea are you planning?"
Thanks to Liang, the leader of the league for the great reward, for becoming the 20th league in this book. This chapter is an additional update. Please continue to ask for monthly votes for support!
