The next day, Xia Meng went to the company early in the morning. At about eight o'clock, Ye Lingtian personally asked the driver to pick up Lin Fan from the Xia family villa. Being treated like this, I don't know how many people would envy him.
Everyone is qualified to ride in the same car as Ye Lingtian.
"Uncle Ye, what kind of treasure makes you so cautious?" Lin Fan looked at Ye Lingtian in the car and asked. Being able to make Ye Lingtian say the words "Destined to Win" shows that this auction item means a lot to Ye Lingtian.
Of great value.
Ye Lingtian felt that at this time, there was no need to hide it from Lin Fan anymore, so he said, "I wonder if you have heard of the Emperor's Cauldron?"
"Emperor's Cauldron? But it was the Emperor's Cauldron that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered to imitate the ancient Nine Cauldrons?" Lin Fan asked in surprise.
"Exactly!" Ye Lingtian nodded.
According to legend, in the early years of the Xia Dynasty, King Yu of Xia divided the world into nine states and ordered the nine states to contribute bronze to cast the nine tripods to symbolize the nine states. He engraved the famous mountains, rivers, and strange objects of the nine states across the country on the nine tripods, and placed the nine tripods in the capital of the Xia Dynasty.
Jiuding has been a symbol of national power through the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. It was not until King Xian of Zhou Dynasty that it disappeared under the Si River and has been missing since then. Of course, there are different explanations. In short, everyone is talking about it.
At the time of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, in order to demonstrate his civil and martial arts, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty modeled the Imperial Cauldron on the Nine Tripods. However, casting the Imperial Cauldron required a large amount of bronze. In order not to waste the people and money, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty ordered people to reduce the size of the cauldron ten times.
, there is this Emperor Cauldron.
Legend has it that the Emperor's Cauldron has very miraculous power, and whoever can get it can bless the family forever.
It is said that the reason why Emperor Guangwu was able to defeat Wang Mang with his weak strength was because he received the blessing of the Emperor's Cauldron. It is said that Wu Zetian was able to become emperor because he also received the Emperor's Cauldron. Unfortunately, it was accidentally lost later. Wu Zetian tried to recast the Nine Cauldrons to consolidate the throne. Unfortunately,
In the end, I couldn’t do it! Of course, these are just rumors in the open, but they all illustrate one problem, that is, the Imperial Cauldron symbolizes a beautiful meaning, which cannot be measured by money.
Lin Fan didn't expect that Ye Lingtian took him there to identify the authenticity of the imperial cauldron. No wonder he was so cautious.
The driver drove the car all the way to the auction site and stopped. At this time, there were many luxury cars parked outside the auction house, such as Audi A6, Cadillac, Bentley, Lincoln, Rolls-Royce, etc. The people watching were simply
With a blind eye, you can tell at a glance that everyone who comes is either rich or noble.
The two came to the door of the auction house and saw the words "Fengxing Auction House" written on it. Lin Fan felt a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere. When he was about to think about it carefully, he heard Ye Lingtian urging him: "Duan
Boy, let’s go quickly!”
I saw that Ye Lingtian had already taken out the red invitation letter and handed it to the staff outside the door. Just as he was about to leave, Lin Fan quickly greeted him, "Here we come!" and followed Ye Lingtian in.
This invitation letter was personally sent by Fengxing Auction House to influential people. It cannot be obtained by those with money or power, and an invitation letter can only bring in one more person at most.
Walking into the auction house, I saw that it was already filled with all kinds of people. One look at their clothes and the aura they exuded, and I knew that these people were not ordinary people.
"Director Ye, you are here too!" A Mediterranean man saw Ye Lingtian and immediately came up to him and greeted him respectfully.
"It turns out to be Mr. Fu, long time no see!" Ye Lingtian recognized the identity of Mediterranean and immediately showed a smile that was neither salty nor bland.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to ask Mr. Ye out to play ball, but unfortunately your boss is too busy!" Mr. Fu said with a smile.
Ye Lingtian didn't comment, and Mr. Fu walked away after saying hello.
Afterwards, people came over to say hello to Ye Lingtian one after another. After all, he was the richest man in China and they were all from the top wealthy circles. Everyone knew Ye Lingtian.
Regardless of whether it's out of politeness or flattery, in this circle, if you don't want to be kicked out, sometimes you have to force a smile and give in, even if you don't want to in your heart.
Not long after Lin Fan and Ye Lingtian entered, a Maserati parked at the entrance of the auction house. A fairy-like woman stepped out of the car, which immediately attracted the attention of many people, who all looked over.
Xia Meng ignored the looks of these people and walked directly to the door of the auction house. Just as he was about to go in, he was stopped by the staff at the door.
"I'm sorry, miss, please show me your invitation letter!" The staff member looked at Xia Meng carefully, and his heart was beating fast. This was the first time for him to see such a beautiful woman.
Xia Meng hesitated when he heard the words, and said a little embarrassedly: "I don't have an invitation letter!"
The staff member was stunned when he heard this, but still said very seriously: "I'm sorry, miss, you can't go in without an invitation letter."
There was a hint of apology in his tone.
Xia Meng felt sad when he heard this, and was about to retreat when a sarcastic voice came to his ears.
"Isn't this Mr. Xia of the Xia Group? Why...are you also here to participate in this auction?"
When Xia Meng heard this, he looked around and saw Lei Manli and Manager Zheng walking towards him, and his beautiful eyebrows suddenly wrinkled.
"Xia Meng, do you know where this place is? Is Fengxing Auction House a place where you can come? Do you have an invitation letter in your hand?" The two of them walked up to Xia Meng, and Lei Manli asked with a sneer.
Seeing that Xia Meng was silent, Lei Manli smiled and said: "You look like you are gone. Also, how can you enter such a high-end auction? Manager Zheng, don't you think so?"
"What the eldest lady said is absolutely true! Some people just don't know themselves!" Manager Zheng also said with a mocking look on his face.
Xia Meng clenched her fists with both hands and gritted her teeth, not wanting to be ridiculed by Lei Manli anymore. Originally, she came here to try her luck, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even get in.
Yesterday, she suddenly saw a news report and learned that Fengxing Auction House was going to hold a charity auction tomorrow. Large domestic groups would come to participate. Xia Meng felt that this was a good opportunity. As long as she persuaded one of the group's
If the boss provides financing, the funding problem will be solved.
She still took it for granted. Xia Meng sighed and was about to return to the car and wait for the bosses to come out from the auction, but was stopped by Lei Manli.
"Why are you leaving right now? Do you want me to take you in?"
In fact, she had no right to bring Xia Meng in because the auction house had regulations that only one person could be brought in with an invitation letter. The reason why she said this was because Lei Manli just wanted to tease Xia Meng.
