Such activities as charity auctions are nothing more than a large amount of consumption that rich people are keen on.
In this society, you have no money and are looked down upon.
But when you have money, you will be scolded for all kinds of reasons. If you hold the money in a stingy way, you will be scolded. If you donate the money, someone will say you will write a blank check.
Therefore, if you have money and donate money, you are scolded. It is better to donate money immediately, and you will get some benefits.
However, the charitable auction of the Liu family is not purely a reputation. The Liu family owns its own auction house, which means that many of the auction items are genuine and worth buying.
Therefore, many wealthy people present came to this party for a few items or something.
With the guidance of the waiters, the guests walked into the side hall one after another. It was more like another venue than the side hall.
However, there were neat tables and chairs in the venue, which were filled with fruits and wine, as well as number plates of various colors.
According to the number on the invitation, Yang Chen followed Lin Ruoxi to the table specially prepared for the two of them and sat down.
It happened that the seats of the two were behind the Yuan couple. As soon as they sat down, Yuan Hewei and his wife, who were sitting in front, turned around and smiled kindly at Yang Chen and Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi was very puzzled why Yang Chen and the people of the Yuan family were so familiar with each other. Although Yang Chen said to celebrate Yuan Ye’s birthday last time, Lin Ruoxi knew that such a big family and children’s social networks were different from their parents. At least, knowing her son before taking over the position of the head of the family does not mean that her parents have a good relationship with you.
No matter how I think about it, I don’t think Yang Chen has reason to meet Yuan Hewei and his wife, but although I’m curious, Lin Ruoxi didn’t plan to ask Yang Chen.
Yang Chen looked around intentionally or unintentionally and saw the Cai sisters sitting at a table in the first row, while the foreign guests who attracted Cai Ning's attention were sitting at a few tables relatively backwards, talking with a smile, looking relaxed.
The Liu family’s auction house is a formal large company, so the things auctioned will naturally not be ordinary items. When an auctioneer wearing a white Yàn tuxedo walked onto the stage, he immediately began to display the first item.
On the huge LED display screen, a 3D rotating pattern of blue and white porcelain appears.
As soon as this collection appeared, it immediately attracted a lot of exclamations from the audience, which was obviously quite good.
The auctioneer said loudly: Dear guests present, the first item sold at our Liu family auction house today is a Yuan blue and white, "blue and white branches and peony pattern jar".Many of the people who are here are famous antique collectors.There is no need for me to talk about the value of this collection.Yuan blue and white porcelain is the least existing blue and white porcelain, representing the period when ancient Chinese plain porcelain turned to color porcelain.The painting style is magnificent, majestic and bold, with complex layers, and each item is a rare treasure.
This collection is completely preserved and is provided by a foreign friend. It starts with a price of 5 million Chinese coins and the bidding begins!
With a sound of yelling, many antique enthusiasts here began to raise the number plates.
Six million!
Eight million!
Nine and eight million!
I'll pay 12 million!!
……
The shouting for prices came one after another, and soon the price of this Yuan blue and white porcelain exceeded 20 million.
Yang Chen listened to a group of rich people joining in the fun shouting for the price like a blank paper, and asked Lin Ruoxi with a smile, "Wife, why don't you make a sound? This thing has great value-added potential.
Lin Ruoxi said lightly: No interest.
Of course, Yang Chen knew that this girl was not rich, but she might be shy and embarrassed to join in with so many people, so she didn't say anything.
In a blink of an eye, someone has already shouted a high price of 43 million, which is equivalent to the total assets of several small companies!
Although the Yuan blue and white porcelain can be sold at a sky-high price of hundreds of millions, after all, this one is a medium-to-high quality collection and is not the most representative of the famous items. Therefore, many collectors and bosses present regretfully put away the brand, feeling that there is no need to compete again.
Those present can come, which means that the social status is recognized, and there is no need to make everyone unhappy for this little money.
The auctioneer began to shout, Customer No. 57 bid 43 million, 43 million at a time...43 million...
Without waiting for the auctioneer to continue shouting, he didn't say anything. Yuan Hewei, who was sitting in the seat, suddenly raised the sign, Zheng Sheng said: I'll pay 50 million.
With this shout, the guest who originally called for 43 million was immediately lost. Not to mention whether he had the funds or not, at least, he would obviously not want to stay in China Overseas when he went to grab things with the Yuan family.
Besides, Yuan Hewei paid 50 million, not because this collection is really worth so much. It’s just a symbolic participation and buying the first collection at a high price to demonstrate the style of the first big family.
Without surprise, everyone chose to remain silent. After the auctioneer three times, Yuan Hewei spent 50 million to receive the first collection.
When the first round ended, Yuan Hewei turned around and smiled at Yang Chen: I know nothing about antiques, and probably many people laughed at me as a sucker.
Yang Chen shook his head, it will be worth 50 million in a few years, so let's keep it at home.
Oh, do you understand this?Yuan Hewei asked curiously.
Lin Ruoxi and Yang Jieyu also looked at Yang Chen with a little confusion.
Yang Chen smiled faintly and said: I have studied it a little when I was bored abroad. I have no knowledge and no skills. I probably call me a person like me.
Of course this is a lie. Yang Chen knew the price of many antiques, but because many people once gave him some Yuan blue and white porcelain, he remembered some knowledge about blue and white porcelain. As for where those things were placed, Yang Chen didn't pay much attention at all, and someone must have collected them for him.
Haha, this is not ignorance, it is all culture. Yuan Hewei smiled and said: Many people here have developed to this day by relying on their sense of smell. Come here to participate in such auctions, which is actually just spending money to make a name for themselves. They also envy the so-called "innocent learning".
Chatting, the auction continued.
The second and third collections were successively brought to the screen.
Ruby jewelry, famous Western medieval oil paintings, and long scrolls of ancient Chinese calligraphy are all famous products worth over ten million.
However, after collecting the first collection, Yuan Hewei stopped raising prices. Lin Ruoxi remained quiet as usual, as if everything had nothing to do with her.
Yang Chen felt a little bored. The games of the rich are actually particularly monotonous. The money that doesn’t know where it will flow, leaving only a greater emptiness besides bringing them a moment of pleasure.
To put it bluntly, it doesn't even make it exciting to smoke a cheap strong cigarette.
However, when the fifth piece of the collection came out, Yang Chen felt a little strange in an instant.
I saw a small dark golden wine glass appearing on the big screen. This Gothic-era wine glass usually holds wine.
The wine glass is roughly cylindrical in shape, with a wide mouth and a high foot at the bottom.
The cup is quaint, with some blurry lines and several metal scratches, but overall it can be distinguished. It should be a noble wine glass made of rare metals such as gold and silver.
Yang Chen suddenly had a little clarity. No wonder Cai Ning came, no wonder the aura of those white men was so strange.
What Macedonian said on the Internet before seemed to be true, but I never expected that this legendary Holy Grail happened to appear at this charity auction!
Almost at the same time, Yang Chen felt a faint fluctuation of coldness appearing behind the venue, and the surging abyss-like energy fluctuation, Yang Chen immediately determined the identities of those white people.
Tsk tsk... It's such a big deal, so many people come... Yang Chen said to himself.
What did you say?Lin Ruoxi thought Yang Chen was talking to her and asked with a frown.
Yang Chen smiled, Good wife, this cup is good, drink a glass of wine to help you sleep and beautify, you can buy it back.
If you want to buy it, you can buy it yourself. The starting price is 2 million, but it is not expensive anyway.Lin Ruoxi said indifferently.
Yang Chen curled his lips, he had no money.
At this time, the auctioneer introduced: Everyone, this collection was provided by a seller who asked for confidentiality a few days ago. It is probably estimated that it is a wine glass from the First Year of the Chinese New Year.The biggest feature of this collection is a long history and mysterious origin.No one can give an explanation of the specific name. Today's starting price is 2 million, but the real value is difficult to estimate. I hope everyone can seize the opportunity...
Before the auctioneer could finish his words, a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a dark red evening dress and a hot figure shouted in a jerky Chinese: Ten million.
In this society, you have no money and are looked down upon.
But when you have money, you will be scolded for all kinds of reasons. If you hold the money in a stingy way, you will be scolded. If you donate the money, someone will say you will write a blank check.
