Turning around, I saw a little old man with a round face and a mustache. His accent didn't sound like a Chinese person, but rather an islander.
"Why are the islanders joining in the fun?"
Zheng Ge muttered and turned his head.
"Okay, this gentleman bids 20,000 on the 37th. Is there any higher price?"
When the auctioneer is in high spirits, it's fine if there are people bidding, as long as there is no silence.
Zheng Ge frowned, picked up the ticker and pressed a number.
"Great, the gentleman quoted 30,000 on the 22nd."
the auctioneer shouted passionately.
Before he finished speaking, the number on the screen jumped again and became 40,000.
Just as he was about to speak, the numbers on the screen jumped again.
I saw that it was Zheng Ge who made another bid.
In this way, the two of them seemed to be competing, you have ten thousand, I have ten thousand. The people around were watching with interest, as if they were watching the fun.
This level of bidding is really rare at an auction of this caliber.
At the same time, everyone secretly speculated that Zheng Ge might have a conflict with the island countryman, otherwise it would not be like this.
Just like that, the price soon jumped to 600,000.
"1 million."
Zheng Ge seemed to have run out of patience, so he directly bid 1 million. Then he turned his head and stared at the little old man, as if if he said, bid if you have the ability, I will fight you today.
The little old man from the island country also stared at Zheng Ge.
If you read it correctly, there was a hint of pleading in his eyes.
"Oh! Xiaoge, it's almost done."
Chen Shan whispered from the side.
In his opinion, 1 million for this vase is too much.
Zheng Ge said nothing, still staring at the little old man.
Everyone also looked at the little old man, wondering if the other party would continue to bid.
The little old man was silent for a while, watched Zheng Ge struggle for a moment, and then put down the quote machine.
Obviously gave up.
The auctioneer shouted three times, but no one bid again, so he could only announce that the auction was successful.
After successfully taking the vase, Zheng Ge breathed a sigh of relief, but he was unhappy.
Because this little old man gave him an extra 980,000 yuan, how could he be happy?
However, at least the goal was achieved, which is finally a good thing.
Gradually, items were auctioned one by one, and the grand finale item fetched a high price of 80 million yuan.
This is not the highest.
The final big shaft was sold for a high price of 90 million.
As the last item was sold, the auction officially ended. After completing the final transaction, Zheng Ge, Liu Jing, and Chen Shan left the auction house.
"Professor Chen, are you going home or not?"
In front of the auction house, Zheng Ge asked Chen Shan.
"I'm going home. If you have anything to do, go ahead and do your work. If you have time, come home for dinner." Chen Shan said.
"That's okay."
Zheng Ge nodded and watched Chen Shan drive away.
"Let's go too."
Zheng Ge smiled at Liu Jing and was about to get in the car.
And this time.
"Sir, please wait a moment."
A lame shout came.
Zheng Ge turned around and saw that it was the little old man who had just bid with him.
"What's up?"
Zheng Ge said.
"Sir, this vase is very important to me. Can you transfer it to me? I am willing to bid 2 million." The little old man from the island country said sincerely.
"Is it important? Then why didn't you continue bidding just now?"
Zheng Ge asked.
"I don't want your husband to misunderstand. My purpose is not to compete with you. I gave up the bid. I just want to talk to you privately. If 2 million is not enough, I can add more." The little old man from the island nation begged.
"Sorry, I have no idea of transferring."
Zheng Ge shook his head and took Liu Jing into the car.
When the little old man from the island country saw this, he looked bitterly and watched Zheng Ge's car leave.
…
"Let's drive."
In the car, Zheng Ge said to Azheng who was driving.
"Okay boss."
Ah Zheng nodded, started the car and walked towards the company.
Not far away, Azheng glanced at the rearview mirror and said: "Boss, there is a Honda following us behind us. It has already followed us to two intersections."
Zheng Ge looked back and said, "Go around them first."
"clear."
Ah Zheng nodded.
"Zheng Ge, isn't he from that island country?" Liu Jing frowned.
"Humph! Who else could it be if he wasn't him?"
Zheng Ge sneered.
This is not giving up!
If we can't reach an agreement, do you just want to come here? There's so much to think about, this is China.
Thinking about it, he picked up his cell phone and made a call. It was a neighbor in Building 7 who worked at the Magic City Police Station. His name was Wang Can, and he was also a leader. He went back to the community several times and bumped into each other, and they were together.
After drinking tea, we had a good conversation.
"So, maybe being an islander is not good for you?"
Wang Can said in surprise.
All the neighbors in Building 7 know Zheng Ge's identity. An investor worth 1 billion, is he being targeted?
"I don't know the details yet, so it's probably not a good thing."
Zheng Ge said unhappily.
"Well! In this case, I will have someone stop them and give them a warning. If the problem is not serious, forget it. If the problem is serious, how about making plans?" Wang Can thought for a while and said.
"Thank you very much, Brother Wang."
Zheng Ge laughed.
"Hey, you're welcome, we are all neighbors. Besides, it is also our responsibility to maintain the safety of the people." Wang Can said with a cheer.
Zheng Ge nodded, said a few polite words, and hung up the phone.
Liu Jing looked at Zheng Ge in confusion and was secretly surprised.
Zheng Ge has only been in Shanghai for a few days, but he already knows so many people? He even has connections with the police?
At this, Zheng Ge smiled.
In fact, he also feels quite emotional about his popularity.
As far as the neighbors in Building 7 are concerned, as long as they are familiar with each other, no matter who they ask for help, no one will say no.
Of course, things like popularity need to be managed.
It is impossible to just ask for it, it also needs to be paid.
Today, people appreciate you and give you face, but face is mutual. Just remember that there is no unreasonable hate in this world, and there is no unreasonable love.
When people help you today, they also think that one day you can help them.
In other words, Zheng Ge has shown his own value and is worthy of help. In more than half a year, he has managed a net worth of 1 billion, and even entered the "Celebrity Contribution List". No one dares to underestimate this kind of achievement.
At least the neighbors in Building 7 give him a thumbs up when they mention him.
These days, without breaking the law, it is already very, very remarkable to have a net worth of 1 billion in half a year, and to start from scratch.
…
Soon, two motorcycles with sirens blaring roared past and stopped the Honda that had been following behind.
Zheng Ge looked back, a sneer appeared on his face, and said, "Let's go back to the company."
"OK."
Ah Liang nodded, turned at an intersection ahead, and headed towards the company.
On the other side, two uniformed traffic policemen were checking the Honda car.
"Please show your driver's license and ID card."
the police officer said.
"Hello, we are islanders and we have not done anything illegal."
In the car, the little old man from the island country said.
"There have been frequent criminals in the area recently. For the sake of your safety, I hope you will cooperate with the investigation."
The police officer said coldly.
"All right."
The little old man from the island country reluctantly took out his passport and followed the two police officers to the nearby police station.
An interrogation was conducted and a transcript was made. He was interrogated for three hours before being released.
"Baga! Mr. Ida, they are too bullying, we should go through the big..."
The thin island man next to the little old man said angrily. These three hours were an insult and torture to him.
"Yeah!" The little old man Ida waved his hand helplessly and said: "Gangpan-kun, you must know how to be patient in everything."
Steel plate: "...Then what should we do now?"
"Gang Plate's tracking skills are obvious to all. The other party was able to spot us in the vast traffic, which means that the bodyguards around him are not simple. They are probably veterans. I heard that rich people in China like to hire retired special forces to protect themselves. In addition, he also
Being able to dispatch a police car to intercept us so quickly shows that he has certain connections. We are new to China and have no foundation, so forget it for now."
Little old man Ida Road.
"But that vase, Mr. Ida gave up?"
Steel plate said in surprise.
"Although that vase is a clue to Sakurako's disappearance, there is no need to be too hasty. Take your time. Let's go look for a few other things first," said the little old man Inoue.
Judging from the abilities Zheng Ge has displayed, it is obvious that he is not an ordinary rich person.
Besides, this is China and there is no room for chaos. Otherwise, if you are not careful, you may be in danger of being swallowed by river crabs.
…
On the other side, Zheng Ge and his team returned to Changge Investment Company.
Not long after, Zheng Ge received a call from Wang Can.
