Chapter 358 New Year's Auction (Thanks, Liang, Leader)
Xu Chunliang said: "Didn't you agree on eight o'clock?" He raised his wrist to look at the time, and it was three minutes before eight o'clock. He had a strong sense of time and was rarely late, but he didn't have the habit of arriving too early. .
Pu Jian stomped his feet and said, "I came early, have you eaten yet?"
Xu Chunliang shook his head, Pu Jian pointed to the bun shop next to him: "Let's go, I invite you!"
The two ordered breakfast and sat down by the window. Through the window, they could clearly see the entrance of Xinbaoli Building.
Xu Chunliang said: "Brother Pu, when shall we go in?"
"The auction will officially start at ten o'clock. Don't worry, eat first."
Xu Chunliang was a little speechless, the official start at 10:30, you asked me to come over early in the morning, why is this Pu Jian a little unreliable in doing things, he will sneak in in disguise later, right? Xu Chunliang regretted asking this guy for help.
Pu Jian watched the small video while eating, and let out a few cheap laughs from time to time, dare he come here to catch the air conditioner and WIFI.
At half past nine, Mo Han called and asked where he was?
Xu Chunliang told her that he was in the Beijing Office of Dongzhou.
Mo Han said: "Then you come out, I will be at the entrance of Dongzhou Hotel."
Xu Chunliang said: "Unfortunately, I'm outside right now."
"Liar, Xu Chunliang doesn't tell the truth."
At this time, Pu Jian saw something, got up and walked out the door.
"I have something to do, let's talk later." Xu Chunliang hung up the phone and followed Pu Jian's footsteps.
The other end of the phone, Mo Han, was so annoyed by this guy, he gritted his teeth and said, "Liar!"
At this time, a passing man smiled at her.
Mo Han thought the other party was a brazen womanizer, so he gave him a vicious look.
The man said: "Miss, are you looking for Xu Chunliang?"
Mohan felt that the other party looked familiar. After thinking about it, they seemed to have met each other at Nanjiang Party School, so he nodded.
The man smiled and said, "My name is Yan Jinsong, and I'm Xu Chunliang's classmate. I met you in the Nanjiang Party School library."
Mo Han smiled lightly and said, "I remember when you said that."
Yan Jinsong said: "Xu Chunliang went out early in the morning, you call him."
Mo Han said: "Where did he go?"
"Participating in the Baoli New Year auction, it seems to be in the new Baoli Building."
"thank you!"
Pu Jian came to a Range Rover on the opposite side of the road, looked inside, waved a greeting, and then opened the back door and sat in. Xu Chunliang also got into the car with him, and Pu Jian asked him to sit in the passenger seat.
After Pu Jian got into the car, he bowed his head to the rich middle-aged man in the back seat, and said with a pleasant smile, "Hello, Mr. Hong, thanks for your help this time."
The middle-aged man is Hong Shidong, the boss of Tianhong Group, that is, the one who gave Pu Jian two bottles of Moutai. He used to buy things from Pu Jian.
Hong Shidong smiled with his mouth crooked, his expression was a little cold, and he glanced at Xu Chunliang with his small eyes: "He is your cousin?"
Pu Jiandao: "Yes, Xu Chunliang, my cousin is from Dongzhou. This is Mr. Hong, call me!"
Xu Chunliang called Mr. Hong, he now understands Pu Jian's routine, dare to say what he said last night was bragging, but no matter what, he still managed to get himself involved.
Pu Jian said flatteringly: "Mr. Hong, don't mind, this kid has just graduated from university, so he doesn't know much."
Hong Shidong said: "College students, it's good to open your eyes." He asked the driver to drive, and specifically told him not to talk nonsense after entering, let alone raise hands randomly, just keep silent.
Pu Jian said to Xu Chunliang: "Did you hear that?"
Xu Chunliang secretly laughed: "Cousin, don't worry."
The two of them followed Hong Shidong into the auction site smoothly, but even the entourage had to verify their names and register.
Hong Shidong met a few acquaintances and went over to say hello, but everyone didn't need too many greetings. How about his strength, the real chapter will be seen in the auction.
Pu Jian told Xu Chunliang in a low voice that this Hong Shidong is a frequent visitor to the auction house. He likes to collect porcelain and jade.
Xu Chunliang said that is not always the case, at least it is impossible for the two of them to have a combined net worth of over 100 million, and it is not the same.
The on-site service personnel sent them the brochure of today's auction. Xu Chunliang opened it and looked at it. Pu Jian said that the necklace was also in it. This necklace also has a beautiful name. Tears of the Stars. very beautiful.
Pu Jian said in a low voice: "The starting price is 10 million, which is enough." In the auction here, the auction company will take 10% of the transaction price, that is to say, for this lot alone, people will guarantee a minimum price of 10%. A profit of 1.5 million fell into the pocket.
He got a sign from somewhere, and the bidding number was 74. It seems that he is not bragging about being a member.
Pu Jian is quite proud. Not all the items in today's auction are expensive. Maybe he can find a leak today. Of course, the possibility of this is very small. Rich people don't care about the price of good things, and he doesn't care about bad things. In fact, in the current era of national entertainment, it is becoming more and more difficult to pick up leaks.
The auction is getting closer and closer, and the guests who participated in the auction that day have basically arrived.
Behind them, there are two rows of people who are responsible for accepting calls from behind-the-scenes buyers.
Pu Jian punched Xu Chunliang with his arm, and three men walked in from the outside. The middle one was 27 or 28 years old, tall and handsome, with a cold and arrogant expression on his face. He was Wang Jiancheng.
Pu Jian whispered in Xu Chunliang's ear, "The nobles in the capital are rich and powerful."
What Pu Jian said is that you are incomparable with others. When the auction starts, you, Xu Chunliang, will know that you will not be able to earn the money they spend casually in a few lifetimes. You also said that Mei Ruxue is your daughter. Friends, let's talk about it in private, don't let Wang Jiancheng hear it, or you won't be able to eat it.
Hong Shidong, who was sitting next to Pu Jian, tilted his head and chatted with the man next to him. When Wang Jiancheng passed by, Hong Shidong waved to him, but Wang Jiancheng didn't notice his existence at all. , stroking his hair with the hand that was frozen in mid-air.
Billions of net worth can be found in the capital. Being rich does not necessarily mean you have face.
The auction officially started at 10:30, and the few things that were auctioned at the beginning were not particularly important items. They were of a hot nature, and the reserve prices were not high.
Pu Jian also took an auction of a jasper vase from the Ming Dynasty, which sold for 80,000 yuan. He was quite proud of it, and this incident alone was enough for him to brag about it for half a year.
These auctions are for newcomers to practice their hands, and senior photographers like Hong Shidong will not waste energy on such small things.
After 20 minutes of warming up, the auction of the first main item started. This is a Ming and Qing bronze furnace with a flat body, thin lips, short neck and a bulging belly. The double-chong ears are thinner, leaning outward, and the ear holes are semicircular. They are not the obvious hole-shaped high gates of the Qing Dynasty, but are characteristic of the transitional period between the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The bottom bears three short breast feet, which are drawn outward. There are turning, shoveling and radioactive knife marks on the inner chamber, which are left over from the late Ming Dynasty.
Due to years of burning incense and raising in trays, the patina is deep and thick, the outer wall is yellow and black, and the inner wall is black and shiny. The wall is thin at the top and thick at the bottom, and the weight is concentrated in the lower half. Although the size is not large, it is extremely heavy, showing that the copper is refined.
A small rectangular frame is opened in the center of the bottom of the furnace, and the seal script inscription "Indifferent and Tranquil" is shallowly engraved inside. The content of the inscription is the least number of poems and sentences in private funds, implying indifference and tranquility, which is yearned for by scholars with lofty ideals.
The auctioneer offered a reserve price of one million, and Hong Shidong beckoned to Pu Jian. Pu Jian came over and expressed his opinion. From his point of view, the incense burner could be worth two million, and he would not recommend it any higher. Pu Jian is by no means in vain in terms of collection and appreciation, and he still has two brushes.
At this time, the bidding in the venue had already reached 1.3 million, and Hong Shidong was not in a hurry to bid. When the increase of both parties reached 1.5 million, the auctioneer began to count.
Hong Shidong just bid at this time, holding up the number 76 bidding card.
The voice of the auctioneer just rightly drove the mood of the scene: "1.6 million! Are there any other bids?"
There were no other bids at the scene, and the auctioneer made a final decision, and Hong Shidong successfully placed his bid.
The following auction items became more and more expensive one by one, the bidding competition was fierce, and the scene was brilliant.
Xu Chunliang and Pu Jian have been completely reduced to spectators. Pu Jian yawned and began to feel bored. An auction is interesting only if he participates in it himself. Unfortunately, he is powerless, and now he has no sense of substitution at all.
Because he drank too much soy milk in the morning, Pu Jian got up to go to the bathroom, asked Xu Chunliang to help him hold the sign, and told him not to lift it honestly, but it was useless to lift it, and most of the subsequent auctions were paid deposits Only then are eligible for the auction.
As soon as Pu Jian left, it was time for the auction of Tears of the Stars.
When Xu Chunliang was listening to the auctioneer's introduction, someone came and sat down beside him. He thought Pu Jian was back, but when he turned around, it was Mo Han.
Xu Chunliang was stunned for a moment, wondering how she found this place, did she install a tracking device for herself? But she used to collect business intelligence, so it shouldn't be hard for her.
Mo Han said: "Scholars will treat each other with admiration for three days. It's okay, but they came to Baoli auction."
"Who do you look down on?"
At this time, the auctioneer emphasized the precautions for the auction. This necklace of tears of stars is only eligible for auction if a deposit is paid, and the deposit is one million yuan.
As soon as Xu Chunliang heard the precautions, he understood that Pu Jian was not qualified at all.
Looking at the sign in Mo Han's hand, her bidding number is No. 98. I wonder if she is eligible?
Mo Han understood his meaning from his greedy gaze: "What? What's the bad idea?"
Thank you, Liang, for the leader's award, becoming the twentieth alliance of this book. This chapter is an addition, and continue to ask for monthly ticket support!
