Lin Zichen directly searched for the Jinkang Auction House on his mobile phone, and it turned out to be in the financial district not far from the city center.
"Haha, it seems to be a big auction house. Looking at Yanjing, there are probably no ordinary companies that can rent stores in this financial district." Lin Zichen said with a smile.
"Master, what is an auction house?" Xiaofeng asked, as if she was still very unfamiliar with many words in this world.
Lin Zichen smiled: "It's a kind of consignment place. People who have treasures put them there and let them sell them. Then many people compete at high prices, and the one with the highest price finally gets it."
"Oh, it's just consignment, but the competitive price sounds quite exciting." Xiaofeng said with some excitement, obviously she was interested because of Lin Zichen's words.
"Haha, it's quite exciting. Come on, I'll take you to see this exciting place today!"
"good!"
Anyway, Huang Yi's medicinal materials haven't arrived yet, and Lin Zichen also has plenty of time. He can just take Xiaofeng to see different things, and save her from having to see her in retreat every time besides his own woman...
After leaving the villa, Lin Zichen took a car and went straight to Jinkang Auction House. When he got in the car, the driver already knew the location as soon as Lin Zichen said it. Obviously, this auction house is still very famous.
Although Lin Zichen has been in Yanjing for a long time, he has mostly been in the Supernatural Academy, which can be said to be in the mountains. He still knows little about Yanjing City, and he does not even know about such a large auction house.
However, Lin Zichen also secretly decided along the way that maybe he should drive a car. He knew how to drive and had a driver's license. It would be more convenient to drive by himself.
Fortunately, he doesn't have to buy it himself. He can just pick one up from Long Chuan or Lan's. This is not a problem.
The traffic jam in Yanjing was so heavy that it took more than two hours for the taxi to stop in front of the auction house.
Sure enough, as Lin Zichen expected, the auction house has a three-story facade. From the outside, you can tell that the inside is at least two or three times larger than Chenyi Medicine Hall, and the location is also more prime. The rent is estimated
It's a sky-high price.
Walking into the auction house, it was very quiet inside, and the hall on the first floor was very large and empty. There were many antiques and cultural relics in the surrounding booths. There were also several separate booths in the middle of the hall, and the things inside were even more eye-catching.
It's obviously a priceless treasure.
Lin Zichen walked to the booth on the side and was looking at it. A young girl in a suit came over. The girl was very energetic, wearing a black suit, a striped shirt, a ponytail raised high, and she looked pretty. For such a big auction house,
The reception staff are all the best.
"Sir, I am Li Li, the account manager of Jinkang Auction House. Do you have anything to auction?" asked the girl named Li Li.
It turned out to be an account manager. No wonder he has such an outstanding temperament. Lin Zichen smiled and said: "Ah... no, I just took a look. I like antiques and see if there is anything I like."
"Oh, that's it. Haha, then I can introduce to you. The items here are all consignment items, and the prices are fixed. If not, you can also participate in the auction of our auction house. There are many that are not available.
on display.”
Lin Zichen nodded: "Haha, that's good. Is there any auction in the near future?"
"Yes, there will be two tomorrow afternoon. They are in the C auction hall and the central auction hall on the second floor of our auction house. If you are interested, I can get you tomorrow's auction item list." Li Li said with a smile,
Very decent.
"Okay, give me one to take a look at."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
After Li Li walked away, Lin Zichen wandered around the exhibition hall by himself. After all, the auction house is not a market. Not everyone who comes here may be able to afford it, but at least they all like antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so there are not many people, and it is very interesting.
Quiet.
After looking at several exhibits, Lin Zichen could basically calculate the prices based on his own knowledge. Basically, they were all treasures worth hundreds of thousands or more. If he really came here to collect them, he would definitely gain a lot today.
But unfortunately, he only has one goal, and that is to find the Han Iron Cauldron or a similar treasure, and he will consider buying it.
Li Li's work efficiency was very high, and she quickly ran back all the way. Her breathing was obviously a little heavy, and she had obviously been running all the way from the inside.
"Sir, this is tomorrow's auction list. This one is for next week. You can consider participating in one or several auctions."
"OK, thanks."
After taking the order, Lin Zichen looked at the items in the form, while Li Li went to the other customers, each of whom placed an order.
Lin Zichen couldn't help but smile: "Haha, in terms of service, she can be regarded as a talent in the industry."
After saying that, Lin Zichen continued to look at the list. He found that the treasures on the list were not necessarily better than those in the exhibition hall, just because the treasure holder's wish was to auction them.
This kind of thing is normal. Some treasure holders just like auctions. If the auction fails, they will not suffer a loss. If someone competes, they can make much more than consignment.
The auction items that turned around did not arouse much interest in Lin Zichen, but next week's auction items did make his eyes fixed.
He clearly saw four words in the form: Three-legged square tripod!
A three-legged square tripod? The Cold Iron Cauldron with Nine-petal Lotus is a three-legged square tripod. Could it be it?
But if it is Cold Iron Cauldron, the buyer has already spent 60 million to buy it, so why is it still being auctioned?
Lin Zichen narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he couldn't figure it out, and immediately walked towards Li Li.
"Manager Li, I have read this auction list. I wonder if I can see some information about the auction items?" Lin Zichen said.
"Ah? Do you have a favorite treasure? I wonder which treasure you want to see information about?" Li Li asked.
Lin Zichen thought for a while and did not mention the three-legged square tripod. After all, he was afraid that if the three-legged square tripod was really the cold iron tripod, the article would be big.
"Can I see all the baby information on next week's auction list?"
Hearing this, Li Li smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, sir, you can see tomorrow's auction, but next week... our auction house has regulations that the auction items will only release information three days in advance, and the rest will only be in the auction list."
Names are listed above.”
Lin Zichen smacked his lips slightly: "This...can't you be accommodating?"
"I'm sorry, sir, this is the rule of our auction house, and I can't change it." Li Li looked confused.
Lin Zichen nodded and sighed: "Well, I can't embarrass you. In this way, I will look at the auction information in advance."
"Okay, no problem. What do you call me sir? Otherwise, I'll leave you a phone number and I'll contact you in advance."
Li Li took out a pen and paper as she spoke. The business was definitely top-notch.
Lin Zichen shook his head and smiled: "No, I will definitely come."
After saying that, he turned and walked towards the outside of the auction house.
Then, a man in a gray suit walked up to Li Li and said, "Who is he? We have been chatting for so long."
"Oh, Vice President Chen, when did you come?"
"Haha, I see you guys have been chatting and haven't come over. What's going on?" Vice President Chen asked.
"I don't know. I asked him for his contact information and he didn't give him his contact information. He said he wanted information on the auction items on next week's auction list," Li Li replied.
Vice President Chen frowned: "Auction? But... I don't know if it's because I'm short-sighted, but that little guy may not have the starting price."
"Really? How did Vice President Chen know?"
"Haha, have you ever seen any bidder so young? Well, even if it's the second generation of rich people, have you ever seen the second generation of rich people dressed like this?" Vice President Chen had a disdainful smile on his face. Obviously, in his opinion, Lin Zi
Chen is just showing off.
Li Li didn't answer, but she didn't agree with him in her heart. Although Lin Zichen was dressed in ordinary clothes, after talking to her, she felt that he spoke well and his aura was different from ordinary people. In short...she felt that this young man was not simple.
"Lili, if you're in this business, you should be smarter and don't waste your time on useless people sometimes."
As he spoke, Vice President Chen's hand hit Li Li directly on the shoulder, and the latter quickly moved aside to avoid it.
"Useless person?" Li Li graduated three years ago and worked in this auction house after graduation. However, she was still relatively young, so when Vice President Chen put her on the shoulder like this, her face immediately turned red.
"Of course it's useless. Some people just come in and pretend to be wealthy. In fact, their pockets are cleaner than their faces. They just come in to tease you." Seeing Li Li's blushing face, Vice President Chen became interested and said
He took the opportunity to touch Li Li's hair.
Vice President Chen's name is Chen Feng. He is in his forties. His children are grown up and his wife is old, so he often takes advantage of some young girls. This is also known to many people in the auction house.
"Oh, I know Vice President Chen."
Chen Feng nodded and smiled: "That's good. Haha, if you obey, you will develop. You go and do your work first. I'm waiting for a big client here."
"Okay Vice President Chen."
Lin Zichen walked out of the auction house and couldn't help but sigh: "Hey, it looks like we'll be back next week."
"Master, can we come to the auction tomorrow? I want to see the bidding!"
Hearing Xiaofeng's voice, Lin Zichen smiled and said: "It's not impossible, but tomorrow's auction items are nothing interesting, otherwise, Xiaofeng, let's take a look next week, okay? Maybe... I will also participate in the bidding.
.”
"What? The master also has a treasure that he wants to bid for? That should be a treasure, right?" Xiaofeng said with a smile.
"Haha, I don't know if it counts, but for me, it's really very desirable. Unfortunately... I can't see the auction information yet." Lin Zichen shook his head and sighed.
After all, the auction house did not display the auction information, so Lin Zichen's visit today was in vain. He didn't know whether the three-legged square tripod was a cold iron tripod, so he was not sure whether he would participate in the auction or not, so he could only go there again next week.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle parked at the entrance of the auction house. The driver got out of the car and took the initiative to open the rear door.
Then, a woman wearing a long woolen coat stepped out of the car. The woman was about 24 or 25 years old. She had wavy black hair, a fair face and beautiful red lips. She looked noble and elegant.
But when he saw this woman, Lin Zichen smiled knowingly. It's been a long time since he saw her...
