Time passed very quickly, and within a short time, the entire venue in Ma's Manor was filled with people, and countless flashlights illuminated the huge manor like daylight.
Celebrities from the martial arts world, the financial world, and even the entertainment industry were all holding wine glasses and talking to each other. Accompanied by bursts of light and melodious piano music, some people were already dancing in the middle of the dance floor, and the entire venue seemed to have become a social celebrity.
ballroom dance.
Lin Beichen sat aside with his arms folded, looking at everything around him with an indifferent expression, but from time to time his eyes looked at Qi Xiuquan not far away.
It has to be said that the Qi family in Hangzhou not only plays a decisive role in the financial circle, but also in other circles. In less than five minutes, no less than ten people came to Qi Xiuquan with wine glasses and smiled, chatting softly, with faces on their faces.
It was full of compliments.
Thinking again of the tense conversation between Qi Xiuquan and Zhang Xiaoyao, Lin Beichen couldn't help but frown slightly.
"The person who came here is not a good person."
Lin Beichen murmured softly.
"Hey, hey, everyone, please be quiet."
Just when Lin Beichen was stunned, a man's voice suddenly came to his ears. When he looked up, he saw a well-dressed man walking up from the stands in the center of the venue, holding a microphone in his hand and saying with a smile:
"Everyone please be quiet and take your seats. Now I announce that the Ma family banquet has officially begun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a long burst of applause, which finally stopped under the wave of the man's hand.
Then the man continued:
"I'm really sorry, because some things at work have not been completely resolved, and it will take some time for Mr. Ma to meet with you. As you all know, Mr. Ma has just returned from attending the summit in North America, and there are still some tasks at hand that need to be dealt with. You
You also know that being the richest man is not that easy."
As soon as he finished speaking, he once again aroused laughter.
"Grandstanding,"
Qi Xiuquan on the side sneered and curled his lips in disdain, his tone not showing any regard for Ma Youqian, the richest man in China, which instantly caused Lin Beichen to frown slightly.
But the man's voice in the stands did not stop, and continued:
"Although Mr. Ma still has some unfinished business, the banquet will still go on; first, we will hold a small charity auction; the items that will be auctioned are all the collections that Mr. Ma has carefully collected in recent years. We will definitely
Let everyone get great value for money.
The money raised from these auctions will be donated by our Baba Group to 230 Hope Primary Schools in remote mountainous areas in the name of charity to help improve the learning environment for students in mountainous areas.
The remaining money will be donated to the Social Security Foundation. The funds are fully transparent. I hope everyone can actively participate and actively supervise."
After saying that, the man waved his hand, and immediately two women dressed in dignified cheongsam came onto the stage holding a collection covered with red cloth.
"Now we have the first item to be auctioned!" As soon as they finished speaking, the two women slowly removed the red cloth, and instantly a very exquisite off-white porcelain bowl was displayed in front of everyone.
"Everyone, here is a sunflower bowl from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty collected by Mr. Ma. Ru kiln is one of the five famous porcelains of the Song Dynasty: "Ru, Jun, Guan, Ge and Ding". It has a simple age and pure glaze color. This bowl from the Ru kiln of the Song Dynasty is treasured by Mr. Ma.
The collection of sunflower bowls is enough to be called a fine product. The starting price is 2.3 million, with a minimum starting price of 100,000 for each bid. The bidding starts now!"
"I'll offer 2.4 million!" As soon as he finished speaking, someone immediately responded enthusiastically. Then 2.5 million, 2.6 million, and the price continued to rise. In the blink of an eye, the auction price had reached 2,010.
million.
Seeing that the price was still rising, Lin Beichen couldn't help but glance at the corner of his mouth: "This money is really blown by the wind, and it doesn't hurt to spend it."
However, this has long been a common thing in the upper class society, and besides, not all of these celebrities came to the banquet hosted by Ma Youqian just to appear at the Ma family banquet.
Some of them came here because of the auction organized by Ma Youqian. There were many well-known collectors and antique dealers at home and abroad!
But Lin Beichen didn't care about these.
But Lin Beichen's words were immediately heard by Wu Shikong, who was staring at him all the time. He immediately curled his lips in disdain and sneered: "Short-sighted. A poor guy like you can only look at it."
I see, you can’t even get a small change out of me, so don’t just pretend to be a big person and get out of here to avoid embarrassment.”
Looking at Wu Shikong indifferently, Lin Beichen curled his lips in disdain. A biting dog doesn't bark. The more someone like Wu Shikong gets interested in him, the more he talks to him. There is no need to waste words when following the crowd.
On the other hand, Qi Xiuquan, who was sitting next to Wu Shikong without saying a word, made Lin Beichen frown slightly.
This man has always had a look of disdain on his face since he came to the manor. Coupled with the name Qi Xiuwen, Lin Beichen had to guess whether the Hangzhou Qi family might have some other purpose.
The lots on the stage were finally bought by a Hong Kong businessman for a price of 42 million, and then the lots were brought to the stands one after another.
In the enthusiastic echo of the host, the sound of increasing prices one after another continued to fill the entire venue, coupled with the flashing flashing lights around it, it seemed very lively.
However, Lin Beichen was not interested in these collections at all. He was already leaning on the table with his arms folded to recuperate.
In an instant, he frowned slightly.
He keenly felt a strong aura around him, and it disappeared in a flash!
"The breath of Ning Gang Realm!" Lin Beichen was suddenly startled and looked around, but found nothing at all.
"A monk from the Ninggang Realm actually appeared in Hangzhou. Who is it!"
Suddenly, Lin Beichen's expression became a little solemn. In his opinion, the sudden appearance of such a Condensation Realm monk at the juncture of the Ma family banquet was not a good thing!
However, the other party was obviously aware of Lin Beichen's presence, otherwise it would not have been possible to conceal his presence so quickly.
It seems that tonight's Ma family banquet is not as simple as it seems!
But just as Lin Beichen was thinking wildly, his pupils suddenly shrank and he looked towards the center of the stands.
"Bone mirror? No, it's a sky-gazing mirror. Yes, it's really a sky-gazing mirror!" Lin Beichen exclaimed instantly!
At this moment, there was a palm-sized bronze mirror placed in the center of the stands. The bronze mirror even had traces of decay, but it gave people a very primitive feeling, and it was different from ordinary things at first glance.
Regardless, it is a pity that the base of the bronze mirror is somewhat incomplete and not very beautiful.
"This is our fifteenth item to be auctioned, a simple bronze mirror. Unfortunately, we can't tell from the pattern on this bronze mirror what year it originated. However, you can rest assured that it has been identified as not a modern one.
product.
Wei Zheng once said that using copper as a mirror can correct one's clothes, using people as a mirror can reveal gains and losses, and using history as a mirror can reveal rise and fall.
It can be seen that in the eyes of the ancients, bronze mirrors were not only used to organize appearance, but also a symbol of belief.
Although this bronze mirror is not beautiful, it has a unique beauty that will definitely not disappoint you. The starting price is 370,000, and each bid must not be less than 10,000! Now, start bidding!"
However, what was different from before was that no one took action immediately after the hammer fell this time.
A bronze mirror has no sense of age and is missing a corner. It cannot arouse the interest of these social celebrities and antique dealers. Without an exact age, how can it show its identity? Moreover, the bidding price is so low, it is obvious that even Ma
Even if you have money, you are not sure what price this bronze mirror can fetch.
Immediately, the crowd couldn't help but start whispering, secretly discussing whether this bronze mirror should be photographed or not!
Lin Beichen on the side, on the other hand, had already stared at the bronze mirror with blazing eyes at this moment, and his heart was full of shock!
The sky-peeping mirror actually appears here!
It's really hard to find anything without wearing iron shoes, and it takes no effort at all!
Compared with other collections, this bronze mirror attracted Lin Beichen's great attention.
These collectors have no idea how extraordinary this bronze mirror is!,
This bronze mirror does not come from a certain dynasty in history, but is a sacred object passed down from ancient times!
