Rebel Demon King

Chapter 141 Auction Situation (2)

(Love is the lost secret that the wise men of this world are always looking for. Only through love can one approach the heart of a leper and the feet of God.

-Oscar Wilde, "From the Depths")
This soft cry brought Class One (9) to a climax suddenly. There were countless applause and cheers in the classroom, and perhaps more people were booing.

No matter what it was for, all in all, the lively scene was almost as sensational as a public confession.

Hearing Yan Yitong's cry, Fu Yuanzhuo also turned his head. Seeing that Yan Yitong, who was wearing an explosive head, ignored the gazes of more than 60 people, and made a gesture of cheering, he couldn't help covering his eyes again, and did With a standard expression of not being able to bear to look directly, he whispered amidst the din: "If I knew it earlier, I would have told this silly girl that you don't plan to take the exam seriously."

Even Cheng Mo, who has always been calm, was caught off guard when facing the sudden scene. In his memory, the word "come on" has never belonged to him. He has never heard anyone say to him since he was a child. After "Come on", he remembers that when he participated in the school sports meeting in elementary school, he was always the loneliest one. He neither wanted to "Come on" for others, nor could he feel that other children were cheering for "Come on", and he was the one with the contestants. The same blood-boiling excitement.

He sat on a small bench at the end of the team and read a book quietly. When the children around stood up and cheered collectively, he knew that their class had won another first place. Cheng Mo, who had no sense of collective honor, was in junior high school. Sometimes, he didn't even go to the school sports meeting. He would sit in the classroom and listen to the roaring hormones outside the window, while watching Oscar Wilde's "From the Deep".

One thinks vulgarity is a sin, one can calmly say "my shortcoming is that I have no shortcomings", and a genius who is so conceited that he becomes a clear stream in the gutter has degenerated into a bitter woman.

This makes Cheng Mo have to lament that love is really "destroying people".

He quietly listened to the deafening "Come on" sound on the playground. Youths are really unruly and high-spirited. Uncontested Elder Sage Mode.

Only young people need to "refuel", but the elderly do not. If the elderly are refueling, they will enter the grave early.

At this moment, Cheng Mo was in a daze. Although things were as small as dust dancing in the light or leaves falling in the wind, it was the first time in Cheng Mo's life.

He watched Yan Yitong pass one window after another with the Coke bought by Fu Yuanzhuo, and gradually moved away, thinking what does Coke taste like?

Water, fructose syrup, white sugar, caramel color, carbon dioxide, phosphoric acid, caffeine—the cola made up of these things may be the taste of youth!
Sweet, refreshing, and a little bit of a shake will explode.

"Hello! Are you okay?" Seeing Cheng Mo staring blankly for a while, Fu Yuanzhuo patted Cheng Mo.

"fine."

"Aren't you scared by this silly girl? She is a little startled, just wait until you get used to it"

Cheng Mo was a little baffled, thinking: Why should I get used to it?But he didn't say that, he just lowered his head and continued reading.

At this moment, Cheng Mo still doesn't understand that if someone is determined to enter your life, you won't even have the room to refuse.

At the end of the two exams in the afternoon, after Cheng Mo walked out of the classroom, he received a WeChat message from Xie Minyun and countless WeChat messages from Yan Yitong. He read the message from Xie Minyun first, and WeChat gave him a link to let Cheng Mo choose a lot as a target.

Cheng Mo clicked in and took a look, and it turned out to be a charity auction website jointly organized by Wanda Group and Ruyihui. The pictures of the 1914 lots were immediately visible, including a pair of oil paintings by Wang Guangyi named "Criticism of Coca Cola" donated by Bai Xiuxiu , a bottle of [-] Bollinger champagne, and a glass sculpture "Snail Ladder" by Eunsuh Choi.

The three lots donated by Bai Xiuxiu were placed in the middle of the twenty lots. Cheng Mo had already done some homework on the twenty lots, but he couldn't estimate the exact price, as many items could not be found on the Internet. arrived.

For example, Bai Xiuxiu donated Wang Guangyi's oil painting titled "Great Criticism of Coca Cola". Cheng Mo couldn't find the price. Wang Guangyi's big oil paintings can be sold for several million, and the small ones have been sold for tens of thousands.

And that champagne is the only thing that Cheng Mo can determine the price of. This bottle of 1914 Bollinger Champagne is reported on the Internet. It was Bai Xiuxiu’s last auction held by Sotheby’s New York in 2016. It cost 13 US dollars. The ones that were photographed were worth about 250 Huaxia coins.

As for Eunsuh Choi's glass sculptures, the price cannot be verified, and it should belong to Bai Xiuxiu's private collection, which may be very expensive or very cheap.

Among the [-] items in the collection, Cheng Mo guessed that the value of the items donated by Bai Xiuxiu was only in the middle range. Obviously, there is a Qing Guangxu famille rose vase with Fushou Ruyi pattern jade pot and spring vase, a Ming Dynasty Duan inkstone and a Buddha statue that will be of higher value.
Cheng Mo himself guessed which Buddha statue should be the most valuable among them. The donated person was Du Jun, and Cheng Mo didn't know what it had to do with Du Leng.

Cheng Mo didn't take a closer look, he already knew these things by heart, but he still waited for a while before replying: the approximate price of the [-] lots, the donor's information, and preferably the auction participants' information.

He didn't even ask Xie Minyun if he checked it, he believed that Xie Minyun must have checked it.

As Cheng Mo walked out of the campus slowly, he looked at the messages Yan Yitong sent him. They were all expressions without expression, just some simple sentences, such as asking him why he ignored her, what day was his birthday, what zodiac sign, what Constellation, what blood type, do you like watching anime?
Cheng Mo ignored the interrogation of the household registration investigator, put his mobile phone back into his pocket, walked out of the campus, and when he walked to the bus stop, Cheng Mo did not see Xie Minyun like yesterday, nor did he receive her reply, probably today Cheng Mo didn't think that Xie Minyun had given up without handing in the papers so early, he knew that the proud woman would definitely not surrender.

In the scorching sun where the people who were still in the photo couldn't open their eyes, Cheng Mo boarded the bus. When the bus started slowly, he saw the graceful and slender figure of Xie Minyun appearing at the corner of the street.

A while later, Cheng Mo received a WeChat message from Xie Minyun. It was a picture, which listed the starting prices of 55 collections from high to low. To Cheng Mo's surprise, the one with the highest price was not his guess. The Buddha statue is not the Qing Dynasty porcelain, but the Ming Dynasty Duanyan. The starting price is 70, followed by a red bracket (75-[-]). This price is probably the actual market price that Xie Minyun investigated. .

The second highest price is the Qing Dynasty Buddha statue donated by Du Jun. The starting price is 50 yuan, and the market estimate is (70-[-] yuan).

The highest priced Ming Dynasty Duan Inkstone donor was named Fu Hongsheng. Cheng Mo believed that this person must have something to do with Fu Yuanzhuo. He even doubted whether Du Leng and Fu Yuanzhuo would all appear at this charity dinner.
Cheng Mo scanned down the prices, and among the three collections of Bai Xiuxiu, the highest price was "Great Criticism of Coca Cola" 25 yuan, no more, no less, exactly tenth place, and the second place was "Snail Ladder" 15 yuan No.16 , the last piece of Bollinger champagne was at the bottom of [-].

Then Cheng Mo received another picture, which briefly introduced the information of the ten donors. Cheng Mo first read the information of Bai Xiuxiu, born in 1983, a native of Xingcheng in southern Shonan, the major shareholder and chairman of the board of directors of Gaoyun Group , Graduated from the Marketing and Logistics Department of the University of Pennsylvania with a Bachelor of Arts degree.
It is very important for Cheng Mo to have Xie Minyun to help investigate the information. According to Cheng Mo's ability, it is difficult to get access to such information. With the help of this information, Cheng Mo can make plans calmly.

Cheng Mo's goal has never been to complete one, but to complete two, and he never intends to use Gao Yuemei to enter the auction. For Cheng Mo, that is the choice with the lowest evaluation.

He believed that Bai Xiuxiu would think so too.
