0068 Someone is disturbing [Can be collected?] QI
The bald-headed Lin was left speechless by this rebuke, muttered a curse under his breath and sat down in embarrassment.
I was a bit far away from him, about five rows away, and couldn't quite make out what he was cursing, but I'm guessing it was something like "idiot" or "stupid c**t". Looking around at the glances from other customers, they were all pretty much conveying the same sentiment. I thought to myself, that guy must be thinking: you think I'm an idiot, well I think you're a bunch of idiots too.
Although this auction item has been called out for a price, it means that someone wants the item and is not going to go uncalled.
Auctions have a procedure. I've seen over 30 items sold and understood some rules, knowing that generally after three calls it's a deal.
Chen Tianlong on stage raised the sign in his hand towards the red-haired woman and shouted, "This lady has bid 20 million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
This is the procedure that auctions follow, and it must be followed. The remark caused a burst of laughter in the hall, apparently everyone was thinking that the thing was just a fake, not worth much money, and not a real antique.
Actually, I don't think lowly of my own things, whether they are valuable or not.
Just now, a bald man with the surname Lin said he would take away the private appraiser. As soon as he heard that my jade was not worth 1.8 million, he was scared shitless.
However, a red-haired beauty called out a price, and I hurriedly shifted my attention to the stage, only to hear Chen Tianlong say, "200 million for the first time... 200 million for the second time... 200 million for the third time... The gentleman in the back, bid 210 million!"
The buyers in the venue suddenly made a stir, and I was taken aback at first, but my curiosity got the better of me. I turned around to look, and saw that the person bidding with a paddle was a young man wearing a hat. He must have arrived late, as he didn't even have a seat, standing in the back row, holding up his paddle with his right hand, on which he wore an unusually eye-catching emerald ring on his middle finger.
An item that no one wanted initially, after I made a bid, someone actually came out to grab it. The thin monkey beside me saw this and shook his head with a deep smile, saying: "This time, I estimate it will quickly reach the price I expected."
Upon hearing Little Skinny Monkey's confirmation, a pair of eyes sparkled with excitement, as if the whole person had fallen into a heap of crisp banknotes, with a bright future unfolding before them.
"This gentleman has offered 2.18 million, is there a higher price?"
"Good, this old gentleman bids 9 million." Another person came out to bid, this time an elderly man with white hair, his arm raised to hold the sign, pale, thin and stiff.
The thin monkey saw that person, his body obviously shook, and he lowered his voice to tell me: "That man is a famous collector, one of the top antique families in Beijing, Master Wu."
The red-haired woman and the white-haired old man seemed to be determined to get this jade screen, neither of whom would give in. Under Chen Tianlong's hosting, the bidding price rose all the way. This pair of fish-shaped jade pendants was initially priced at 18 million but received no bids, and soon it was raised to a high price of 190 million.
"Wu Ye seems to have lost his patience and raised his sign shouting: '20 million!'"
Directly adding 100 million like this is obviously intended to thoroughly crush the opponent's psychological defense line.
As expected, the red-haired woman did not raise her price immediately as before, but instead lowered her head, seemingly hesitant.
Chen Tianlong naturally did his own job well, played to his strengths, and took the opportunity to ask: "Miss, since that old gentleman has offered 200 million, do you have a higher price?"
The red-haired woman lowered her head and remained silent.
Chen Tianlong started counting down on stage: "2 billion for the first time... 2 billion for the second time..."
Just as I thought the deal was about to be finalized, the red-haired woman suddenly made a "wait" gesture towards the stage and pulled out her phone.
Chen Tianlong said on stage: "You think again, we can wait for you! However, your time is running out."
The red-haired woman's mouth was moving, and she seemed a bit anxious, as if she were contacting someone.
At this time, Chen Tianlong's urging voice was heard again: "If you don't bid, this pair of fish jade pendants will be that old man's!"
The red-haired woman hung up her phone and raised the sign in her hand, opening her mouth with full confidence:
"I'm out 21 million."
Immediately afterwards, the number rose to one million, and finally, when it was shot at a certain amount of money, the price of the double fish jade pendant was already very good, much higher than those things that were auctioned before.
Our Pisces jade pendant was priced at 36 million and was still snapped up by that old man surnamed Wu from Beijing.
When I first heard the news, I still felt a bit unreal, like I was daydreaming. Although I came with the intention of selling my jade pendant and had thought about how much money I would get, when this sum of money suddenly fell from the sky and landed on me, a poor silk weaver, I still felt dizzy and it didn't feel real, just like those dreams of getting rich that I have when I'm sleeping.
I pushed the thin monkey and said stupidly: "You hit me first..."
The thin monkey then slapped the back of my head with a loud slap and scolded, "Take that look off your face, it's begging to be beaten."
After meeting the buyer, Old Wu sat on the sofa, with a bodyguard-like figure standing beside him. He had a grand setup, but everyone who came here was a big shot in Beijing, so he was quite polite to us. After all, on the surface, we were all doing business and valued harmony for wealth. After some small talk, we signed the sales agreement, and that's how the matter ended.
In this day and age, there are still people wearing Zhongshan suits, and what's more, they wear them with such swagger.
The money will be transferred from the club, of course, a certain commission will be deducted, but for tens of millions of dollars, deducting tens of thousands is also a small matter.
As soon as I went out, I said, "Don't delay, let's hurry to intercept him. If we're late, he might have escaped."
The thin monkey knew I was talking about the seven evils, he stopped me with one hand and stared at me, saying: "What's the point of stopping him, it's already over, what are you meddling in?"
I thought so too, it's been several months since then, so I said: "I just want to know what happened at that time?"
I really want to thank Qiye for saving me in such a difficult situation. Thinking of that small hole, I still feel terrified now.
The thin monkey's face didn't look good either, and he spat out a mouthful of words, unable to help scolding me: "Of course I want to know, but brother, we're all adults now, can't you think about it? In the beginning, Qi Xie clearly wanted to enter the Bronze Gate, and there was a dispute. Who knows what happened behind the Bronze Gate? This person's background is definitely not small. You rushed up like this, aren't you afraid he'll secretly trip you up and make you disappear in Beijing?"
Missing?
Qī xié bù shì zhè yàng de rén, zěn me kě néng gàn zhè yàng de shì qíng ne?
Translation:
Seven evils are not this kind of person, how can they do such a thing?
Besides, Qi Xie has saved me so many times already. If he wanted to harm me, why bother going through all this trouble?
My heart skipped a beat and I said, "What should we do?"
The thin monkey's eyes rolled around and said, "Let's check it out first, what he's doing here, follow me." The thin monkey led us to the original registration location in the clubhouse, where the front desk was particularly luxurious, but only one beautiful cheongsam sister stood there, with a standard professional smile on her face, giving us a 90-degree bow: "Hello, gentlemen, do you need anything?"
I thought to myself, I need a girlfriend.
The thin monkey, although dressed in a human-like manner, had a somewhat lewd expression. He glanced around and smiled, saying: "I'm sorry to trouble you with something. I'd like to check what the guest in room 113 is selling."
"Uh..." The girl hesitated for a moment before saying, "Sorry, we have rules here. It's not convenient to disclose client secrets."
Although that's what she said, the girl's expression also looked very fearful. Everyone who comes and goes from this place is a very powerful person. To put it bluntly, this girl is just a high-end worker with no family background. She probably kept her job, but at the same time, she was afraid of refusing Xiao Shou Hou and inviting some kind of revenge. Therefore, she looked at us with a very nervous expression, looking embarrassed and determined.
I think this girl is quite pitiful, she's just a small employee, although in her heart she's interested in the things that Qi Xie and them are selling, but still says: "Forget it, let's get it from somewhere else."
The thin monkey tightly pursed his lips, suddenly rushed to the girl and coldly laughed, saying: "Miss, I hope you cooperate obediently, good things will not be less for you, otherwise..." He didn't say much, his eyes became very cold, this kind of gaze I'm very familiar with, every time he holds a gun is this expression.
