My Wife is a Beautiful CEO
Chapter 274 Auction
Charity auctions like this are nothing more than large-scale consumer spending that the rich love.
In this society, you have no money and are looked down upon by others.But if you have money, you will be scolded by people for various reasons. You will be scolded if you stole money and use it by yourself. Some people who donate money will say that you write a short check.Therefore, people who do n’t have donations do n’t have to be scolded.
However, the Liu family's charity auction is not purely famous. The Liu family has its own auction house. That is to say, many auction items are genuine treasures worth buying.
Therefore, many of the rich people present came to this party with one or a few things.
With the guidance of the waiters, the guests walked into the side hall one after another, rather than another side hall.
It's just that there are neat tables and chairs in the venue, which are already covered with fruits and wine, and various color number plates.
According to the number on the invitation, Yang Chen followed Lin Ruoxi to the table prepared for the two and sat down.
Coincidentally, the seats of the two were behind the Yuan family and the couple. As soon as they sat down, the Yuan and Wei couples sitting in front turned around and smiled kindly to Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi is very puzzled why Yang Chen and the Yuan family are so familiar. Although Yang Chen said Yuan Ye ’s birthday last time, Lin Ruoxi knew that such a large family and their children ’s social network are different from their parents. Knowing your son before taking over as the head of the house does not mean that your parents have a good relationship with you.
I didn't think Yang Chen had any reason to know Yuan and Wei and his wife, but although curious, Lin Ruoxi did not intend to ask Yang Chen.
Yang Chen looked around, intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the Cai sisters were sitting at a table in the first row, and the foreign guests who attracted Cai Ning's attention sat on the opposite side. At the next few tables, they were talking with a smile, a relaxed look.
Liu's auction house is a regular large-scale company. Naturally, the auctioned things will not be ordinary products. When an auctioneer wearing a white tuxedo walked onto the stage, the first sale of the goods was immediately displayed.
On the huge LED display screen, a 3D rotating pattern of blue and white porcelain appears.
As soon as the collection appeared, it immediately aroused a lot of exclamation from the audience.
The auctioneer said loudly: "The distinguished guests present, the first item of sale at our Liu's auction house today is a Yuan blue and white flower, 'blue and white peony pattern jar'. Many of the people sitting here are antiques Famous masters. I do n’t need to say more about the value of this collection. The blue and white flowers in the Yuan Dynasty are the blue and white porcelains with the fewest survivors. They represent the period when our ancient Chinese porcelain turned to colored porcelains.
This collection, kept intact, was provided by a foreign friend. The starting price is five million Chinese dollars. The bidding starts!"
With the sound of "beginning.", Many antique enthusiasts present began to compete for the number plate.
"Six million!"
"Eight million!"
"9.8 million!"
"I'm paying 12 million !!"
The voice of shouting prices one after another, and soon, the price of this blue and white flower exceeded 20 million.
Yang Chen listened to a group of busy wealthy people throwing blank papers and shouting the price, and smiled and asked Lin Ruoxi, who was silent, "Wife, why don't you say anything, this thing has great value-added potential."
Lin Ruoxi said lightly: "No interest."
Of course Yang Chen knows that this girl is not without money, but may be embarrassed and embarrassed to participate in the shouting of the price in the face of so many people, so she didn't speak again.
In a blink of an eye, someone has already shouted "43 million." The high price is equivalent to the total assets of several small businesses!
Although this blue-and-white flower can cost hundreds of millions of dollars, after all, this is a medium-to-high-quality collection, not the most representative of the famous items, so many of the present and the big boss regret to collect Starting a brand, I feel that there is no need to compete.
Those present can come to represent the affirmation of social status, there is no need to make everyone unhappy for this little money.
The auctioneer started shouting, "Guest 57th bids 43 million, 43 million at a time 43 million."
Waiting for the auctioneer to continue shouting, there was no sound. Yuan Hewei, who was sitting in the position and watching others bid, suddenly raised his card. Zheng Sheng said: "I'm giving 50 million."
This shouted that the guest who had originally shouted 43 million guests immediately lost his voice, not to mention the availability of funds. At the very least, to grab things with the Yuan family, it made it clear that he did not want to be mixed up in China Shipping.
Moreover, Yuan Hewei sold out 50 million yuan, not that this collection is really worth so much. It is nothing more than a symbolic participation. The first collection was bought at a high price to show the style of the largest family.
Unsurprisingly, everyone chose silence, and after three auctions, the auctioneer Yuan Hewei spent 50 million yuan to accept the first collection.
After the first round was over, Yuan Hewei turned around and smiled at Yang Chen: "I don't know anything about antiques. It is estimated that many people laugh at me as a big deal."
Yang Chen shook his head. "It will be worth 50 million in a few years. Let's leave it at home."
"Oh, could you understand this?" Yuan Hewei asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi and Yang Jieyu also looked at Yang Chen with some doubt.
Yang Chen smiled faintly: "I studied a little when I was bored abroad before.
This is of course a lie. Yang Chen knows the price of many antiques, just because many people once gave themselves some blue and white flowers, and they remembered some knowledge about blue and white porcelain. As for where those things were placed, Yang Chen was at the root. Didn't pay much attention, there must be someone to help themselves.
"Haha, this is not without learning, this is all culture." Yuan Hewei laughed: "Many people here have developed their business by relying on their sense of smell. Today, they come here to participate in this auction, which is actually smashed. Qian Tu has a reputation, and they also envy the so-called 'no learning without skill'. "
Chatting, the auction will continue.
The second and third collections were successively put on the screen.
Ruby jewellery, Western medieval oil painting masterpieces, and ancient Chinese calligraphy scrolls are all famous products worth more than 10 million yuan.
However, after receiving the first collection, Yuan Hewei stopped bidding, and Lin Ruoxi remained silent as usual, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Yang Chen was a little bored. The rich people's games were extraordinarily monotonous. They didn't know where the money would flow. In addition to giving them a moment of pleasure, they only left a greater emptiness.
It's awkward to say that I didn't smoke a cheap strong cigarette to stimulate it.
However, when the fifth piece of the collection came out, Yang Chen felt something strange.
I saw on the big screen, a small dark gold wine glass emerged. This Gothic style wine glass generally contains wine.
The shape of the wine glass is roughly cylindrical, the mouth of the glass is relatively wide, and the round bottom is tall.The body of the cup is quaint, with some blurry lines and a few metal scratches, but overall it can be distinguished that it should be a wine glass for nobles cast with rare metals such as gold and silver.
Yang Chen suddenly had a little bit of insight, no wonder Cai Ning would come, no wonder that the atmosphere of the white people was so strange.
Previously, what Macedonia said on the Internet seemed to be true, but it was unexpected that this legendary "Holy Grail." Happened to appear at this charity auction!
Almost at the same time, Yang Chen felt a faint wave of coldness spreading behind the meeting place, the kind of surging abyss-like energy fluctuation, and Yang Chen immediately determined the identity of the white people.
"Gee is really generous, all come from such a few people." Yang Chen said to himself.
"What did you say?" Lin Ruoxi thought Yang Chen was talking to her, frowning and asked.
Yang Chen smiled, "Good wife, this glass is good. Drink a glass of wine at night to help sleep and beauty. You buy it back."
"If you want to buy it yourself, the starting price is two million yuan, which is not expensive anyway." Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
Yang Chen pouted, but he had no money.
At this time, the auctioneer said: "You, this collection was provided by a seller who requested confidentiality a few days ago. It is probably estimated that it was a wine glass during the first year of the first century. The history is long and the origin is full of mystery. The biggest feature of this collection. No one can give a specific name. Today ’s starting price is two million, but the real value is difficult to estimate. I hope everyone can grasp the opportunity. "
Waiting for the auctioneer to finish talking, sitting in the back of the store, a blonde girl in a dark red evening dress and a hot figure shouted in jerky Huaxia: "10 million."
