Live Appreciation, Congratulations to Brother

Chapter 148 The Best Auction

Linhai's recognized leader in the entertainment industry is Wei Yixiao, the owner of the largest chain bar in the city.

He has an incompetent son named Wei Fuguang.

Because of having such a son, he was forced to participate in a small local auction in Linhai.

If he does not participate, his son will sever his father-son relationship with him.

In fact, this is a good thing for him, but he also has a father, who is separated from Wei Fuguang by generations, if he does not come, his father will also sever the father-son relationship with him.

That can only pinch your nose.

Along the way, Wei Fuguang kept telling the old man of the Wei family how different this auction would be, and it would definitely not be as boring as the ones he participated in before.

Wei Yixiao scoffed at this.

As a fairly successful entrepreneur, he has participated in many large auctions.

There is no scene that is so entertaining as described in the novel.

Like this year's Sofubi Spring Auction, although Ru Kiln sold at a sky-high price of 2.94 million yuan, he didn't feel any tension at the scene.

Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?Slap in the face?nonexistent.

Just hearing the quotations from antique dealers and art institutions makes people feel drowsy.

"I hope this auction will end soon, and I have invited someone to play mahjong in the evening."

Wei Yixiao thought in this way, took the number plate handed over by his son, and prepared to enter the arena.

The staff took the No. 66 plate, checked the identity, and asked politely:

"Hi Mr. Wei, do you have a group?"

"Group?" Wei Fuguang, who was at the back, came up and said, "Yes, we are a family, together."

"Forming a group to participate, is there any hidden benefit?"

The staff froze for a moment, shook his head to express his incomprehension, and pointed to the seating chart and explained:

"Sorry, there are no benefits you mentioned."

"But for this auction, in order to ensure that every customer has the best auction experience, we have divided the seats into four areas."

"Leek area, rich second generation area, rich first generation area, ordinary area, you can sit freely according to your own situation."

"If you want to sit together as a family, it's best to go to the ordinary area. There are more vacancies there, and the first three rows have a better view."

"You don't need to sit together." Wei Yixiao waved his hand: "I'll go to the rich generation area."

"Ahem, what about me?" Old Master Wei asked quietly from behind.

"Grandpa, you and I go to the leek area, you like to play Wenwan, you must go there." Wei Fuguang said enthusiastically.

He is knowledgeable and knows where the atmosphere is good.

Wei Yixiao was overjoyed to be able to leave the grandparent and grandson behind. He found a middle position in the rich generation area and began to look at the list of auction items.

People sat down one after another.

"Huh? Boss Wei?"

Someone beside him greeted Wei Yixiao with a low voice. He raised his head and recognized that the other person was the owner of a well-known antique shop in Linhai.

One of the protagonists of the auction, the antique dealer, showed up.

But where he appears is a bit strange.

"Why did you end up in person? Isn't it usually entrusted by phone?" Wei Yixiao asked strangely.

The big customers of auction houses like antique dealers all look in the VIP room, and then call the broker below to quote.

How can anyone come to hold a sign by himself?

"I don't know what's going on this time either." The owner of the antique store shook his head and whispered to Wei Yixiao: "This time Yongxing didn't invite us at all."

"I didn't know until I saw someone promoting it in the circle of friends. It turns out that Linhai still has this auction."

"I asked in the circle, and none of the institutions that cooperate with Yongxing have received an invitation. The few that came, like me, came voluntarily."

When Wei Yixiao heard this, he looked around.

Everyone was there, and there was even an anchor live on the second floor.

But I really didn't see those brokers who were responsible for accepting remote commissions.

"Wait a minute, are you all holding signs by yourself?" Wei Yixiao asked suspiciously.

"That's right? This auction has the feeling of the last century."

The owner of the antique store raised the number plate in his hand, number 555, it came too late, this is the most auspicious number he could pick.

……

As the auction started, Ding Qiang, the auctioneer in a white suit, came onto the stage and greeted everyone.

There were nearly 88 people in the audience, but there were only [-] lots.

As far as these 88 pieces are concerned, after Zhang Yang discussed with Master Wang, he took out a part of the Hailin Museum's collection and supplemented the number reached.

Compared with the number of people at the scene, there are more monks and less porridge, so there is no need to worry about selling.

"Now we are going to start the display of Lot No. [-]. Please watch the big screen."

On the screen, a familiar handsome face appeared in front of everyone.

"All photographers, please allow me to introduce to you, the opening piece of this auction, the Ming Dynasty ivory carving lady plaque..."

"The high-quality ivory carvings in the late Ming Dynasty, even if the carpenter emperor himself carved them, they are only at this level..."

The first item is handed down ivory, and a friend from the leek area shouted:
"Things are really punishing!"

"Hahaha~"

Joyful laughter erupted at the scene.

"Is this so funny?" Wei Yixiao asked the owner of the antique store beside him.

The latter told him with a smile: "I don't know why others laugh, anyway, I just remembered that many of my competitors are playing with ivory to play themselves into it."

"Then why are you laughing?" Wei Yixiao asked another friend beside him.

The other party also told him with a smile: "Maybe it's because my wife gave birth."

Wei Yixiao: "..."

After a 30-second short video, Lot No. [-] was introduced, and the atmosphere at the scene was fully alive.

Immediately enter the exciting auction session.

[The starting price is 20! 】

[Number 144... what?Okay, No. 144 Leek is bidding 40! 】

Ding Qiang did not expect that the buyers in the leek area had such individuality, but the customer is God, and the request to change the name must be satisfied.

Wei Yixiao was stunned after hearing this.

144, this number, he is very familiar with it.

Isn't the excited person holding the sign high the "bad boy" in his family?

What is it, will you auction it and double it when it comes up?
This time it was the turn of the owner of the antique shop to ask Wei Yixiao: "Boss Wei, why are you sitting there?"

"I heard that there are all personal friends of Director Zhang sitting there."

"Is it true, what is the saying about this thing? Can you reveal it a little bit?"

"There's a fart." Wei Yixiao shook his head and said angrily, "I don't know him well."

"Unfamiliar?" The owner of the antique store nodded half understandingly, and immediately raised the number plate in his hand.

This means: No. 555, five thousand more!

After he finished raising the price, he whispered to Wei Yixiao again:
"Boss Wei, you don't even have to tell me the reason. Then this ivory card, I will follow it within 100 million."

"There's really no reason, it's Wei Fuguang's own interest."

Wei Yixiao explained very seriously, but no one would believe this kind of statement.

【Leek No. 144, 42】

[No. 555, bid 42]

【Leek No. 144, 50】

[No. 555, bid 50]

At this time, in the leek area, Wei Fuguang was communicating with his grandfather in a low voice.

He asked the old man: "Shall we add more?"

"Add, within 100 million, add."

"Why?" Wei Fuguang asked while holding up the placard: "I remember that grandpa, you only know how to play. When did Ivory understand?"

"I don't know ivory, but I know auctions." Mr. Wei explained.

"The number 555 that competes with you is sitting next to your father. He is the owner of the antique shop. If this brand is not worth the price, will he follow?"

"That's it..." Wei Fuguang nodded.

"Awei, what your grandfather said makes sense."

Chen Yanguang stretched out a thumb from behind the Wei family and his father, and at the same time raised his own number plate.

[No. 8 leek, bid 55! 】

Wei Fuguang turned around in surprise when he heard the auctioneer's words:
"Damn it, brother, you stabbed me in the back?"

"Don't talk nonsense, it's normal business behavior for me."

Chen Yanguang waved his hands and hugged his fiancée beside him.

"Look at your future sister-in-law, she's so beautiful, it's not too much to match with a Ming Dynasty Lady's badge, right?"

"Not only did you backstab me, but you also stuffed dog food into my mouth? I can't bear it..." Wei Fuguang said sternly.

[Leek No. 144, bid 55! 】

Many treasure friends in the leek district have witnessed this scene.

Some people whispered to their friends in private:
"Shall we bid?"

"I did a search. This kind of ivory plaque from the Ming Dynasty has been sold for more than one million yuan at other auctions."

The friend replied: "I was still hesitating just now. But now, after Emperor Jiu's move, I think it's better to forget it."

"After all, he didn't make any money when he bought things."

Three parties bid, and the price of Lot No. 100 quickly exceeded the [-] million mark.

It was finally bought by Wei Fuguang at a price of 125 million.

[Congratulations to Leek No. 144, winning Lot No. [-]]

[Let's move on to the next lot, Kangxi six-character exclusive model, blue and white general jar]

"Congratulations to Mr. Wei." The owner of the antique shop cupped his hands and congratulated Wei Yixiao beside him.

He withdrew from the bidding at 100 million. In the end, the young people in the leek district and the rich second generation district raised their bids to reach 125 million.

"Our friendship for so long, tell me the truth, this thing, this price, is it worth it?"

The deal is done, Wei Yixiao is not entangled, he is already thinking about how much money he will lose.

Seeing Wei Fuguang's excited look, he knew that this ivory card would definitely not be the last one.

"If the thing is really from the Ming Dynasty, it will definitely be worth this price." The owner of the antique shop replied: "Ivory is too difficult to preserve, and the age is high, so the price is naturally high."

"I'm just afraid that if this thing is modern and old, it will only be worth a few thousand yuan."

"Just now, the organizer of this auction should be the deputy curator of Hailin Museum. Didn't he say that this thing is authentic?"

Wei Yixiao recalled what Zhang Yang said in the introduction video.

"Really? People from Yongxing Auction Company, can you allow this?"

The owner of the antique store found this statement a bit inconceivable.

He didn't watch the video carefully just now, because this ivory card was not on the pre-order list he made after seeing the preview yesterday.

Just at this time, in the introduction video of the second lot, Zhang Yang said something similar:

"This piece is a Kangxi celadon with a wide open door. We guarantee the age of the lot."

Is it a verbal guarantee, or a written guarantee?
The owner of the antique shop really wanted to stand up and ask, but at this time, someone in the leek area had already raised a sign.
