When he arrived at the gate, Chen Shicheng motioned to Qiao Meng to take out the identity certificate he had been asked to bring. Registration was required to enter here, just like a place like Gulou City. In order to record the comings and goings of guests, so as not to be unable to deal with and respond to unexpected problems.
Contact customers quickly and easily.
At this time, the white flag messenger knocked three times on the left half of the door and twice on the right half of the door, which seemed to be some kind of secret signal.
After a while, there was a ringing sound from inside, and the white flag messenger handed Qiao Meng's certificates through the door.
When Chen Shicheng saw this process, he said to Qiao Meng: "Don't think these little passwords are so simple. They will change it every time. And if he typed it wrong just now and asked questions casually, someone would directly tell us again."
Blindfolded and taken away from here, there is no chance of coming back."
Qiao Meng couldn't help but be a little surprised after hearing this, but after thinking about it, he thought it was normal. After all, some of the transactions there were serious violations of national regulations. If you were not careful, there was no need to continue.
Regarding the transactions here, is it illegal for customers to buy things, and do they have to bear certain responsibilities? Qiao Meng also asked Chen Shicheng this question, and he also explained that as long as the buyer hands over the things he bought,
Once you get out, nothing will happen.
After all, this is someone else's illegal auction, and it can be said that they are unaware of it. If you have a certain strength and status, you can get back the money you spent.
But this is all for ordinary people or people with a little bit of power and status. If a person like Chen Shicheng, whose true identity is a mystery, is still the old mayor, Qiao Meng believes that even if he is encountered by the police, he will not get to the bottom of it.
, even things can be taken away directly. Qiao Meng also knows a little about the depth of the water here.
After a while, Qiao Meng and the others' identity certificates were handed out from under the door by someone inside and handed back to them again. A closer look revealed that there was a barcode affixed to the certificates, which should be the verification code.
At this time, the door finally opened, and a masked man dressed all in black came. The man nodded to the white flag messenger, and the white flag messenger left immediately. It must be this man who started to lead them inside.
After all, Bai Qi is the guide outside, so he has to return to his post. This division of labor is still very clear.
Immediately afterwards, the three of them walked forward together. They seemed to be in a relatively deep tunnel. There were wall lamps on both sides, but the light was not very bright. It looked a bit eerie. Suddenly they came to a gate. At this time, there were two
A big man in black is guarding the door.
Qiao Meng was a little confused at this. Could it be that the identity check was too strict? The words "be careful to sail a thousand-year ship" should be mentioned by the people behind the scenes here every day, otherwise it wouldn't be possible.
Will be so cautious.
Sure enough, it still depends on the identity. In fact, it means checking whether there is a verification code on the certificate just now. If not, it will be removed directly.
The two big men checked the proofs of Qiao Meng and Chen Shicheng respectively and then opened the door of the tunnel. They walked at least two to three hundred meters along the way, which he calculated carefully based on the size of his steps.
Then there was another door. Qiao Meng was completely speechless. Why do people here like to install doors so much? One door after another, round after round.
This should be the last door. The masked man knocked three times on the left and three times on the right, and the door opened directly from the inside.
At this time, there were three men and three women standing on both sides inside, all bending down and bowing their heads to welcome the entrance.
The masked man also made a gesture of invitation.
As soon as he entered, Qiao Meng felt that there were many eyes looking in his direction, but he only looked away for a moment. This place made him feel more and more weird.
The lights here are very bright, and it feels no different from the outdoors, but it doesn't dazzle people's eyes. Instead, it has a very gentle light. And after feeling it, Qiao Meng discovered that there is actually central air conditioning. No wonder it is not at all
It doesn't feel stuffy.
Think about it, people who come to places like this all have some status and means. If you are so rich, you, the organizer, can't be so shabby. If you are like this, who will pay your bills? Customers are God in every industry.
It's the truth.
Qiao Meng suddenly noticed that there was an inconspicuous door at the end of the left side of the hall. The color of this door was green.
After thinking about it, this should be the so-called green channel, which is used to escape in the event of an accident. Of course, escape here does not only mean escaping for one's life.
It means that if law enforcement agencies arrive, guests can leave directly through this door, so that they can keep their belongings. As long as safety is guaranteed, they will definitely come back next time.
Then I looked at the front of the entire hall. There was a raised red balcony. There were many things on it, including porcelain jars, calligraphy and paintings, ironware, etc. But I could tell at a glance that it was not good stuff. Could it be that this was an auction?
Is this the case? If this were the case, how could it attract so many people here?
These are probably just some decorations, the real good stuff hasn't been released yet.
There are seats facing the balcony below, and there is a matching round table in front of each seat. This table can seat up to two people, and from the design point of view, these seats are very old.
Chen Shicheng and Qiao Meng came to a seat in the middle and said, "Just sit here. If it's too far in front, it won't be easy to take pictures."
Qiao Meng also knew why. If you sit too far in the front, you don't know what the people behind you are doing or what others are doing. It's hard to raise the price and so on. If you sit too far in the back, it's hard to be too public.
Others will resent themselves, some in the middle, it's like you bid me the price, everyone is the same, it's just to see who is willing to spend a little more to get something in the end.
In fact, there aren't that many sayings here, it's just an unwritten saying. Everyone consciously follows this saying, and if you come late, you won't have to choose your position.
As soon as he sat down, Qiao Meng looked around, trying to see who was coming and whether he might bump into anyone he knew by accident, but he did.
After Chen Shicheng sat down, he also looked around, and then wanted to talk to Qiao Meng, but saw a strange look on his face, so he asked: "What's wrong? Did you see someone familiar?"
"Yeah, I didn't expect to see him again. I was thinking just now that I haven't seen him much in this period, so I'm lucky to see him now." Qiao Meng looked to the right and signaled to Chen Shicheng.
Chen Shicheng looked in the direction directed by Qiao Meng, with a surprised expression on his face: "It's actually him, why have we bumped into each other again? You are not only enemies, but also enemies at the auction."
The person who made Qiao Meng quite unhappy was actually the Li Qiang whom Qiao Meng thought of when he was in the car. He always wanted him to disappear in S City. He didn't seem to come alone. Li Ka didn't come with him because he
There was an unknown person sitting at that table.
Li Qiang seemed to feel Qiao Meng looking at him, so he turned around. He also frowned, and then raised the corners of his mouth slightly, raising a very disdainful smile, but when he saw Chen Shicheng behind him, his face immediately stiffened.
expression.
After waiting for a while, I saw people coming in one after another. Most of them were walking in groups. I have never seen anyone coming alone. Maybe someone needs to bring them. Qiao Meng thought like this, but didn't say much.
What.
At this time, lights gathered on the balcony, and a young woman came out with a veil, and then said with a smile: "Thank you for coming, everyone here is basically a regular customer. Newcomers."
The guests must have heard something from old customers, so I will not introduce anything else and go directly to the topic of today. This is the first treasure we have here. Please take a look."
At this time, a small round platform rose above the balcony, and the so-called treasure was placed on it.
Qiao Meng felt dumbfounded when he saw it, "Things like this are also called treasures. I knew at the first glance that they were not good products. Brother Chen, are you just interested in these things that's why you asked me to come?"
Chen Shicheng also shook his head helplessly and said: "I won't be interested in such things. The really good ones must be behind. These are just for filling in the beginning."
This thing is actually just a small snuff bottle. If you really want to buy it, you might as well go directly to the normal trading market. It's really boring to buy this thing on the black market here.
After the woman gave a big talk, a few people started to go up and observe it, but they didn't seem to be very interested. It was obvious that it would not be sold.
After no one came to the stage to watch, the woman once again boasted about the power of the snuff bottle, almost turning it into a magic weapon. No one wanted to buy it, and probably to avoid embarrassment, the woman took it down.
got this thing.
But even at this moment, I couldn’t forget to sigh again, as if others had really made the worst decision in their lives if they didn’t buy it.
When Qiao Meng saw that the woman was so good at acting, he couldn't help but sigh. If she had acted, she would have won so many Oscars. She was really an actor who was delayed by the auction, or maybe the host who didn't want to win the Oscar couldn't open it.
Auction.
After another period of time, one treasure after another was replaced on the stage, but the people in the audience felt that they were not very interested, and less than 20% of the items were actually photographed. The entire auction seemed like
The stage where the host is alone is the same, and the people in the audience are the audience who are forced to watch, and they are reluctant to leave after buying tickets.
Qiao Meng was almost lying on the table. It was so boring, it was like listening to someone else chanting sutras.
Chen Shicheng smiled when he saw Qiao Meng like this: "Xiao Meng, do you think this auction is boring? This black market is not worth coming to?"
Although Qiao Meng knew it was not good to say this, he still said truthfully: "I am really bored. I feel too wet and can't find anything worth watching."
