Uncle Shenhao: Take ten nephews to the supermarket at the beginning

"This..." Luo Feng pondered for a moment, as if thinking about something.

Finally he nodded and said, "Okay, President Jiao, since you are determined, let's give it a try."

"I still say the same thing. As long as you can get these two antiques, you can do whatever you want."

Saying this can be considered as a guarantee for the other party. Otherwise, if Jiao Yilang finds out that there is no benefit, he may not help him anymore.

Although he wanted to trick this guy, Luo Feng couldn't completely treat him as a fool. After all, he was the president of this district.

Jiao Yilang was secretly delighted when he saw Luo Feng agreed. This was a chance for him to show off, so he quickly said, "Mr. Luo, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down."

Luo Feng looked at the man in the suit again, "Can we bring the antiques in advance like this?"

"For example, arrange it in the first and second place."

The man in the suit looked a little hesitant, "Sir, these two artifacts are the finale. It would be against the procedure if they were presented in advance."

"I know, but I have other things to do and I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long."

Luo Feng still had to rush to the dock. He had just talked to his men on the phone, and the other party was already halfway there.

If Luo Feng didn't arrive in time, once Boss Hua found out, their plan would have failed.

"It really won't work. The process is fixed. If these two artifacts are placed first, the layout of the presentation on the PPT will be disrupted."

The man had an ugly look on his face. He didn’t want to reject Luo Feng, but he was just a worker in this underground auction.

The reason why the finale is called the finale is because most people come for it.

And this finale is also a gimmick that can attract more people to participate.

If the Asian items were auctioned off at the very beginning, a large amount of traffic would be lost, and even if there were some other cultural relics, it would be difficult to sell them at a high price.

"Don't worry, with us here, we can definitely fetch a high price for these two masterpieces, which can then make up for the loss of your other cultural relics."

Of course Luo Feng knew why the man in the suit was unwilling to agree.

After all, Bai Ningbing is also in this business and has participated in auctions many times.

But in fact, if it is really as Luo Feng said, it would be equivalent to making the prices of these two finale antiques not so high in disguise.

Because the extra price has been used to supplement other cultural relics.

Seeing that Luo Feng was so determined, Jiao Yilang couldn't miss it since it was his chance to show off.

Seeing this, he directly said: "Then let's change the process. Anyway, serve the finale first to attract everyone's attention. It can also make your auction more exciting, right?"

After hearing what Jiao Yilang said, the man in the suit had no choice but to sigh.

"Okay, President, I'll go and make the arrangements now. You guys can take a seat first."

Then he glanced at Luo Feng. He didn’t know whether Luo Feng would let him leave or not.

Luo Feng nodded. Jiao Yilang had already talked to him anyway, and it seemed that the man in the suit didn't want to cause any more trouble, so there was no need to worry about anything.

This time, in order to prevent being recognized by others, Luo Feng also got two masks from Jiao Yilang.

Otherwise, you can be recognized just by wearing a mask with only one eye exposed.

This indeed made Luo Feng very curious. He looked at Jiao Yilang next to him and asked curiously, "Speaking of which."

"President Jiao, we were not close to each other at the time, how could you recognize me at a glance?"

He did find it very strange, as he had never thought at the time that he would be recognized by others.

Fortunately, there should be no Boss Hua's people here, otherwise his planned trap would have been ruined.

"This is actually not that difficult. I have seen Mr. Luo's photos, and I have memorized his appearance by heart. It is normal for me to recognize you at a glance."

Jiao Yilang laughed and said shamelessly.

After hearing these words, Bai Ningbing looked at him strangely and raised a soul-searching question.

"Aren't you in love with him?"

Hearing this, Luo Feng's expression changed slightly.

"I'm not gay... President Jiao, please wake up."

"..."

Jiao Yilang was speechless. "You two have misunderstood. Besides, my child has offended Mr. Luo before, so I hope to cooperate with Mr. Luo this time and let's put aside the past grudges."

In fact, there is another reason, that is, he took a fancy to Luo Feng's identity and wanted to establish a relationship with him in the future.

Luo Feng nodded slightly, as if accepting Jiao Yilang's explanation.

He also understood that Jiao Yilang had his own little plans and they were all just using each other.

At this time, the atmosphere at the auction site gradually became lively.

The man in the suit hurried to arrange for the two antiques to be auctioned in advance.

Luo Feng and Jiao Yilang found their seats and sat down under the guidance of the underground auction staff.

In fact, this underground auction is not like those large-scale auctions where seats are arranged according to status.

After all, everyone has their own disguise and cover-up to avoid others discovering their identity.

So you can go wherever you want, even if you are a beggar, you can sit in the front row.

Of course, you can’t enter an underground auction like this without an invitation.

Luo Feng wore a mask and felt a little relieved.

I have to say that having this mask makes me feel much safer than wearing a mask.

His eyes scanned the surroundings, observing the corners around him.

Bai Ningbing sat next to him, also looking alert.

Not seeing any suspicious people, the two of them felt relieved.

At this time, the man in the suit sent a message to Jiao Yilang.

Jiao Yilang smiled and looked at Luo Feng beside him, "Mr. Luo, the manager has agreed that the two cultural relics that will be the finale will be auctioned in advance this time."

Luo Feng nodded with satisfaction, "Thank you so much, President Jiao. If you can get these two cultural relics, I will treat you to a meal at the Qixing Street Hotel."

Jiao Yilang waved his hands, but he was actually very happy in his heart.

Soon, the auction officially began.

The host walked onto the stage and enthusiastically introduced the first item to be auctioned, which was one of the two antiques.

"Blue bronze tripod!"

As the words fell, corresponding pictures and introductions appeared on the screen behind the host.

The lights at the scene slowly focused on the display stand, and an ancient blue bronze tripod slowly rose. Its exquisite patterns and unique colors immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This antique, which was originally intended to be the finale, unexpectedly became the opening item of the auction, surprising everyone present. "Blue bronze tripod? What's going on? How did the finale treasure suddenly appear ahead of time?" A middle-aged man wearing a mask whispered to his companion.

"I don't know, maybe the organizer has some special arrangements." The companion was also wearing a mask, and there was a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"I've been at this underground auction for so long, but this is the first time I've encountered something like this."

"Me too……"

Others present also began to whisper. This sudden change was unexpected.

Some speculated that it was due to a special request from a big buyer.

But some people think that the organizers want to create topics and attract more attention.

Luo Feng and Jiao Yilang sat among the crowd, their expressions calm, as if they had anticipated all this.

Jiao Yilang smiled slightly and whispered to Luo Feng: "Mr. Luo, it seems that our plan is going smoothly."

Luo Feng nodded, his eyes fixed on the blue bronze tripod. This antique was of great significance to China, and he had to make sure he could successfully buy it.

After the discussion in the audience died down a bit, the host began to introduce the history and value of the blue bronze tripod on the stage.

"Dear distinguished guests, this blue bronze tripod is a treasure of the ancient royal family, and its history can be traced back thousands of years."

"It is not only a work of art, but also a witness to history. Today, it will be looking for a new owner here."

As the host finished speaking, the auction officially began.

As soon as the starting price was announced, the atmosphere on the scene immediately became tense.

Originally, the finale was to be auctioned last, and many people came for the final highlight, so there was no plan to auction anything earlier.

This also disrupted the plans of most people.

Jiao Yilang said softly to Luo Feng: "Mr. Luo, let's not rush to bid. Wait until the price is higher before we make a move."

Luo Feng nodded slightly, and a barely perceptible gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

People raised their hands and the price rose rapidly.

As the bidding progressed, the prices of the two antiques continued to rise, and soon exceeded the internal price mentioned by the man in the suit.

Jiao Yilang's expression became more and more solemn, and he began to realize that the value of these two antiques far exceeded his expectations.

"Mr. Luo, this is already more than 300 million. I don't have that much money on hand yet. Can you provide some funds?"

Luo Feng spread his hands and shrugged helplessly.

"Alas... didn't President Jiao say it at the beginning? You come to invest the funds, and I will return them to you later. You also know that I am an outsider. On the one hand, there is an upper limit on the exchange rate of this fund, and on the other hand, there is a limit on the amount of my foreign exchange card."

In fact, this was just his excuse. This amount of money was nothing to him.

Since Jiao Yilang wanted to curry favor with him and Luo Feng gave him this opportunity, he naturally had to make the other party bleed a little.

"Then I'll think of another way." Jiao Yilang's face darkened. He took out his cell phone and tapped on the keyboard quickly, as if he was sending a message to someone.

Finally, when the price stagnated at a high of 545 million, the voices at the scene calmed down a lot.

This price is beyond the affordability of many people.

Luo Feng also set his sights on Jiao Yilang.

"President Jiao, what do you say?"

If Jiao Yilang really didn't have so much money, he couldn't just watch someone else buy it. He would definitely have to make a bid.

"I have already raised the money, Mr. Luo, don't worry, I promised you." Jiao Yilang took a deep breath and decided to take action.

"Five hundred and fifty million!"

He then sent a message to his manager.

The manager understood what he meant and started to ask the auctioneer to speed up the process. He also knew that Jiao Yilang and Luo Feng came for the blue bronze tripod and the bronze statues of the twelve zodiac animals.

Soon, the auctioneer's voice echoed in the venue, "Five hundred and fifty million once, five hundred and fifty million twice... Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"

At this moment, a calm voice sounded, "Six hundred million."

The whole place was in an uproar!

Everyone's eyes were looking for the sudden voice.

The price of six hundred million can be said to be the highest price that may appear in today's underground auction.

Moreover, the price was raised by 50 million at one time.

Swish! Jiao Yilang's face instantly turned ugly. He didn't expect that someone would dare to snatch it from him.

Luo Feng, however, had a calm expression, as if everything was within his expectations.

"President Jiao, what should we do? Someone has outbid you. Do you have any extra money?"

"Six hundred million is nothing. I can afford it." Jiao Yilang gritted his teeth and made another offer, "Six hundred and ten million."

"Six hundred and fifty million." The voice sounded again without any hesitation.

Cold sweat was already oozing out of Jiao Yilang's forehead; he had met a financially powerful competitor.

Unfortunately, this was an underground auction, and he had no way of using his identity to oppress the other party.

So, he could only look to Luo Feng, hoping that the other party could provide more financial support.

Luo Feng shook his head and said softly: "President Jiao, it seems that we will not be able to get these two antiques today."

Jiao Yilang's heart sank. He knew that he was already deeply involved in this. If he failed to buy these two antiques, his promise to Luo Feng would become a bubble.

"Six hundred and fifty-one million!" Jiao Yilang almost gritted his teeth as he quoted the price.

"This has caused President Jiao to spend a lot of money. This is really embarrassing." Luo Feng continued to add fuel to the fire.

"Six hundred and sixty million!" the voice continued, but it was already hesitant.

"President Jiao, let's just forget it. The price offered by this side is too high. I guess there's no other way." Luo Feng sighed, looking very depressed.

"Mr. Luo no longer dares to offer such a high price. This must be his limit. Don't worry, I will definitely get this blue bronze tripod for you!"

After he finished speaking, Jiao Yilang stood up and shouted, "Six hundred and seventy million! I don't believe you can still follow?!"

There was silence in the auction hall, and everyone was shocked by the sky-high price.

That voice never appeared again. The auctioneer dropped the hammer and made the final decision: "Six hundred and seventy million once, six hundred and seventy million twice, six hundred and seventy million three times... Deal!"

Jiao Yilang breathed a sigh of relief, but then his face turned ugly again.

He is now saddled with a huge debt.

Even if he used his identity, he could only raise 300 million yuan, and he had to pay the rest of the money himself. (End of this chapter)
