After a busy day, it was already late at night, and the customers in the store started to leave one after another. Many of them wanted to continue asking Qiao Meng some questions, but he used the excuse that he was too tired today and would definitely accompany him when he comes back tomorrow.
Out of the store.
Seeing that Qiao Meng had indeed been busy all day, these people accepted this reason and left the antique store for the time being.
Soon, the street returned to its usual quietness, and the owners who were jealous and wanted to tear down Qiao Meng's store also snorted, returned to their stores angrily, and stopped talking.
At this time, only Qiao Meng was left in the store, whistling leisurely and playing with a gift in his hand. The expression on his face really made people want to go up and slap him twice.
Also, Ge Yuling was counting the dazzling bills in her hands, looking at the payment information prompted by her mobile phone and wondering what she was thinking.
Today's opening has passed smoothly and has been fruitful.
"You kid said you don't have any good ideas. If you have the ability to attract so many people's support, you wouldn't have said it earlier." Ge Yuling thought about what Qiao Meng said before opening the store and said coquettishly.
Listening to these words, Qiao Meng felt that he was wronged. He just came into contact with these people by chance. How could he know that they were so generous? Anyone who called them came to support him and gave him so many gifts.
Gift.
If this had happened earlier, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been so lively. At most, some customers who had seen him show off his talents would come to see him because of his reputation.
Without saying anything else, Qiao Meng put down the item he was playing with and let out a long sigh. After all, he was indeed tired enough today.
"Sister Yuling, let's go and celebrate tonight. After all, a new opening has to bring good luck." Qiao Meng suddenly thought of this and said it.
"Okay, you decide where to go."
Anyway, now that she is doing business with Qiao Meng, she can just follow him in everything, Ge Yuling thought in her heart and said this.
"Then let's go to Gulou City on East Street." Qiao Meng didn't hesitate. He immediately thought of this place. He didn't have the money to go there before, but now that he has money, he can naturally go in and give it a try.
This restaurant also has antique features. Not only can you eat delicious traditional Chinese dishes here, but some antiques are also placed as decorations in the lobby on each floor, and you can bid for them while eating.
It is said that someone once accidentally photographed porcelain worth tens of millions of dollars here, but the entrance fee is a bit high. It costs at least 20,000 to enter once, so this is the reason why Qiao Meng has not been here before.
After making the decision, Ge Yuling changed her clothes, and the two took a taxi at the corner of the street and headed to Gulou City.
Not long after, the waiters in Gulou City had already climbed up to the third floor. There were obviously a lot less people here than on the first and second floors, because the rule here is that there is an additional charge for each floor you go up.
20,000 yuan, many people who just come to eat and watch the excitement will not spend this wasted money.
Since it was not very crowded, we randomly found a place closer to the window and sat down. As soon as we picked up the menus and were about to order, music sounded in the middle of the lobby, and the lights focused on a hand holding a food.
Pretty lady with microphone.
"Good evening everyone, I am the host of tonight's three-story shooting party, Anna." The sweet voice echoed in the ears of every male present for a long time.
"Miss Anna, you are so beautiful tonight, can I take a photo of you?" The person who spoke seemed extremely greedy in his words, and his eyes were staring directly at Anna's slender white legs without covering up at all.
Qiao Meng here recognized Li Qiang's voice at once. Although the distance was not very close, after all, the two had competed so many times, so they still had this ability to distinguish.
Anna, who was hosting on the stage, did not do anything out of the ordinary because of the other party's teasing. Instead, she responded gently and sweetly: "Thank you sir for the compliment, but tonight's protagonist is more charming than me.
Too much."
"Oh? Then I'll wait and see." Li Qiang still had a lustful look in his eyes.
"The first mysterious treasure on display on the third floor tonight is this one." Anna directly opened the red cloth that was originally covering it, and spoke again, "The gold bowl with the mandarin duck and lotus petal pattern from the Tang Dynasty, if any of the distinguished guests have it,
If you are interested, you can bid, and the starting price is one million. If it is not auctioned in the end, this item will no longer be auctioned according to the old rules, and the authenticity of the purchase contract will have nothing to do with Gulou City."
Qiao Meng, who originally just wanted to bring Ge Yuling to have a nice meal and experience the auction in Gulou City, was immediately attracted by the first auction item. He immediately put down the menu in his hand and walked to the auction table.
forward.
When Ge Yuling saw this, she had no choice but to follow him.
At this time, Li Qiang also saw Qiao Meng, and he immediately showed a very uncomfortable look on his face. He obviously hated Qiao Meng so much, "How could he meet this kid anywhere? Do you think he has any clues by looking at him like this?
"
Li Qiang was also unsure, so he chose to wait and see what would happen.
"Miss Anna, can I personally verify the authenticity?" Qiao Meng didn't mince words, he came directly to verify the authenticity.
"Of course you can, but you need to pay the appraisal fee of 20,000 yuan first." Seeing that Qiao Meng's tone of voice was quite polite and his eyes were clear, Anna responded kindly.
"good."
Without hesitation, he swiped the card and put on the white delivery gloves. Qiao Meng picked up the golden bowl with both hands. He first looked at the bottom, then looked inside, then turned the bowl, as if he was very serious.
The guests on this floor couldn't help but take a closer look.
Most people here didn't know Qiao Meng, but they started to pay attention to him out of curiosity when they saw that he looked impressive.
In fact, what they didn't know was that Qiao Meng had already used his thumb to activate his powers to identify the authenticity of this golden bowl, and found out that it was not real.
He was still a little disappointed when he saw Li Qiang on the side, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, so he took a closer look at this scene.
After a few more minutes, Qiao, who had looked at the entire bowl several times, put it back in place, took off his gloves and suddenly said: "I bid two million."
Wow!
The whole audience was in an uproar. The golden bowl with a minimum price of one million was doubled in price to him. Is this because he has money but no place to spend it? Or are he really confident that this is the real thing?
As soon as the price came out, Anna was naturally happy. After all, her commission was settled again, and her eyes looking at Qiao Meng were all charming.
Li Qiang was not happy. Should he let this kid steal treasures under his nose again? This time he didn't agree. He wanted to grab it no matter what, and he did it as soon as he thought of it. Then he raised the price loudly, "I'll pay two
One and a half million!"
"Three million!" Qiao Meng added the price casually, with a look on his face that said it was just money. Li Qiang was so angry that he really wanted to come up and beat him up.
"Are you sure? Don't act recklessly!" Ge Yuling said a little worriedly. After all, the money you finally earned cannot be spent carelessly like this.
"Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion." After giving Ge Yuling a reassuring look, Qiao Meng looked at the angry Li Qiang with a mocking expression.
"Three and a half million!" Li Qiang really didn't want to let go of this opportunity this time.
"I told Li Qiang, if you want it, don't be so stingy about raising the price to four million." Although he said so, Qiao Meng still increased the price by five hundred thousand.
"You! Okay, five million!" Li Qiang was already furious.
The guests on the entire third floor were shocked by the price. It was not because they couldn't afford the money. Those who could enter the third floor of Gulou City had at least tens of millions of dollars, but because this item was just bought.
Qiao Meng watched Li Qiang alone for more than ten minutes and dared to raise the price five times higher than the base price. This was simply mindless spending.
After Qiao Meng heard the price, he still resisted the urge to laugh. His expression turned solemn and he lowered his head slightly, making it look like he was embarrassed.
"Excuse me, sir, do you want to increase the price?" Anna saw Qiao Meng bowing his head silently and looking embarrassed, and asked, if the price is not increased, this treasure will belong to Li Qiang. Anyway, she and Qiao Meng also
There is no friendship, and whoever gets it can make a huge profit.
Qiao Meng still lowered his head and said nothing, pretending to frown.
When Li Qiang saw this, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he was already convinced that he would win this time.
Seeing Qiao Meng's embarrassment, he was completely convinced that this was a genuine treasure, and the price was definitely more than the five million invested, at least it was worth tens of millions on the market. He nodded slightly,
He glanced at Anna again and urged, "Since no one has raised the price, just give it to me. Anyway, you, Gulou City, won't suffer any loss."
Anna looked at Li Qiang and then at Qiao Meng, but still followed the rules, "Mr. Li Qiang offered five million, one time."
"Five million, twice."
"five hundred……"
"Six million!" Before he finished speaking for the last time, he was interrupted by Qiao Meng, who directly added one million chips. Now the people present felt it was even more incredible and they all watched with interest.
Great show, I want to know what Li Qiang will do next.
But Ge Yuling was a little confused. She caressed Qiao Meng's ear and asked softly: "Do you really want this golden bowl so much? How much is it worth? The money you earned so hard
Don’t waste it all at once.”
"Don't worry, you'll know later." After Qiao Meng finished speaking in a low voice, he straightened up and gave Li Qiang a smile.
In Li Qiang's eyes, this smile was Chi Guoguo's mockery. He was now completely sure that the golden bowl was not fake, and Qiao Meng was also forcing a smile. This was already the highest price the other party could offer.
As long as he raises another one million chips, he will be able to win this time. When the time comes, he will definitely see a frustrated look on his face.
Li Qiang, who was imagining this, felt a lot more confident, and responded to Qiao Meng with a smiling expression and raised an eyebrow, as if to say, I'll see how long you can keep pretending.
