Siheyuan: Baji heirs never forget

Chapter 158 Xinghai Auction, Seven-layer Pagoda (for subscription)

A few days have passed, and large-scale construction has begun around Xiaohonghua Kindergarten. However, before the construction started, protective silencers were surrounded around Xiaohonghua. One of the purposes was sound insulation.

Children cannot be allowed to live amidst the noisy construction noise.

Naturally, demolition is inevitable for such a large-scale construction, and Grandma Kong's home is also being demolished.

Of course, Caroline specifically took this point into consideration in her previous design drawings, and will later redesign a small courtyard according to the same shape as Grandma Kong's new home.

The property rights of this new home and even the entire construction area will fall in Xiao Shihua's name.

This is the first property that Xin Zhao has prepared for his daughter. Even if she becomes a rent collector, she can live a prosperous life in the future.

Naturally, Grandma Kong's two sons would not have any objections. After all, the demolition money for the house was given to them.

Xinghai Plaza, which was completed in Chengdu earlier this year, is luxurious and high-end.This is also the property of Xinghai Group. When Xin Zhao was preparing to build Xinghai Manor in Chengdu, Xinghai Group's large-scale investment in Chengdu began.

This is unwise in the eyes of some people. After all, such investments can yield more returns if placed in coastal cities.

The Xinghai Group obviously gave up the opportunity to earn [-] billion and went to earn [-] million.

That is to say, the Xinghai Group can do this. After all, as long as Xin Zhao does not die, the Xinghai Group will be under the control of Xin Zhao.

The large BMW stopped on the side of the road. After the door opened, a little girl got out wearing a soft silk dress with exquisite patterns embroidered on it and lines like waves.

Her skirt was light and flowing as she walked.

"Old man, where is this place? There are so many cars and so many people."

"Little sister, this is Xinghai Square." At this moment, a girl about 20 years old next to her said to Xiao Shihua.

"Xinghai Plaza, is it owned by Xinghai Group?"

"Little sister also knows Xinghai Group?"

"I only found out recently." Xiao Shihua looked at this pretty young lady and asked, "Miss, what are you here for?"

"I'm here to sing."

"Oh." Xiao Shihua nodded and stood next to Xin Zhao obediently.

The girl saw the adult next to Xiao Shihua coming out, waved to Xiao Shihua and walked towards the building next to her.

"Old man, where are we going?" Although Xiao Shihua asked, her eyes were also looking at the luxurious building next to it. This luxurious building is called Xinghai Auction House. It has three auction rooms. There are many transactions outside the auction room. The platform mainly involves the transaction of luxury goods.

"We are also going to Xinghai Auction House. You will be able to hear the singing voice of the sister just now."

"Yes." Xiao Shihua nodded and followed Xin Zhao into the building.

Entering inside, there are many tea rooms with many people talking.

The hall was even more lively.

"Why do you think Xinghai Group wants to hold this auction in Chengdu?"

"Who knows, I thought it would be in Hong Kong, or at worst it would be on the southeast coast. Who knew it would be in Chengdu, deep inland."

"Rongcheng is also pretty good. The terrain is as flat as Beijing."

"How can it be compared with the capital city? It's a city and a countryside. You don't even look at the roads? I came here today and even moved a big stone myself?"

"How can you move a big stone?"

"Haha, on the road he took, a stone fell in the middle of the road today."

"Why not choose to fly?"

"I don't dare. I'm afraid of being buried with him."

Everyone laughed when they heard this.

Zhao Xin originally wanted to take Xiao Shihua directly to the reserved box, but Xiao Shihua looked at everything in the hall curiously, so he followed Xiao Shihua and sat on the window seat.

"Is the old gentleman also here for the auction? Is this your granddaughter?" someone next to him asked.

"This is my daughter." Xin Zhao said.

Xiao Shihua waved to the unshaven uncle next to her.

"Daughter." The uncle was also stunned, but he did not hesitate. After all, the old man had the right to adopt a little daughter as a daughter or granddaughter: "The old gentleman is a local, I don't know what kind of auction he has taken his fancy to. "

"There's one thing I really like," Xin Zhao replied.

"Hey, me too, look at this No. 60 lot..." The man handed an auction brochure to Zhao Xin. The lot he was talking about was a large Jade Guanyin.

"Uncle, we have a lot of these at home." At this time, Xiao Shihua next to her spoke.

"Ah, there are so many." The uncle's mind was full of doubts.

"Shihua, let's go inside!" Xin Zhao stood up and said.

"Yeah." Xiao Shihua followed Xin Zhao.

The people waiting in the hall and in the boxes are bidders occupying ordinary seats in the auction hall, but real VIPs can sit in the boxes in the auction hall.

In fact, Xinghai Auction House wanted to buy the seven-story pagoda directly, but the seller from the UK wanted to go to the auction house to make more money.

The main reason why everyone agreed to move the auction here this time is that Xinghai Auction House will not charge a commission for this auction, and it has also obtained certain tax benefits from the local officials. Only then can so many people come to Chengdu.

When the uncle saw Xiao Shihua and Zhao Xin actually entering, he realized that the little girl's 'joke' just now seemed to be true. Lot No. 60, large jade Guanyin, maybe they really have a lot of them.

The Xinghai Auction House didn't know about Xin Zhao's arrival, and perhaps only a few of Xin Zhao's children had some guesses, but none of them would disturb their father's life.

With the VIP card, enter the box.

Xiao Shihua was looking at the situation in the auction hall.

In the middle of this auction hall is the auction table, and staff are preparing for the relevant work at the moment.

There are rows of seats around the auction table, these are ordinary seats, which can accommodate 3000 people to participate in the auction.

These ordinary seats are also divided into levels. The ones at the front are equipped with tables, and tea and snacks are placed on the tables.The seats in the back are similar to those in a movie theater.

The private rooms are on the ring-shaped second floor. There are six protruding venues on the second floor.Three of the boxes have excellent sound insulation, and are equipped with sound transmission equipment, which can allow the auctioneer's words to be clearly transmitted inside, and can also isolate the noise of everyone in the auction room to the greatest extent.

The other three private rooms are like pavilions, with curtains around them that can be pulled down to block privacy.

Zhao Xin and Xiao Shihua were in the pavilion-like box. At this moment, Xiao Shihua was standing on the edge of the box, looking down.

"Sir, fruit and refreshments." A woman wearing a cheongsam came in with fruit refreshments. "Old man, do these belong to our family? Why are there so many seats?" Xiao Shihua lay on the side, looking at the situation in the field.

"This is the auction house. Those people in the hall will be here later."

"Hoho, that's it." Xiao Shihua nodded to indicate that she understood, then she picked up the apple on the table and took a bite.

Apples in this era do not need to be peeled to eat. After all, there are still very few pesticides and various pollutions.

The waiter outside the box didn't take what Xiao Shihua just said to heart. In her opinion, the Xinghai Group couldn't possibly belong to the little girl's family, but if the little girl could sit here, her family must be rich or noble, and she didn't dare to offend.

After waiting for about 5 minutes, people began to enter the auction hall. Half an hour later, the first auction in Chengdu of Xinghai Auction House was about to begin.

Xiao Shihua became even more curious when she saw people coming in. She lay on the edge and looked around.

The design of the guardrail is quite reasonable, so Xin Zhao doesn't have to worry about safety issues.

Soon, everyone was seated, more than 2000 people were seated in the [-] seats, and four of the six private rooms were activated.Judging from the number of people participating in the auction alone, the start has been quite good.

"Everyone, I am Tian Xia, the host of the Xinghai Auction Hall. I think everyone has been waiting for a long time, so I won't talk nonsense. Today's auction officially begins." Tian Xia shouted: "Now I want to invite you for the first lot, jade." As one wishes'."

The staff brought up a box covered with silk cloth and placed it on the table.Auctioneer Tian Xia removed the silk, revealing the jade Ruyi inside.

Everyone's eyes lit up when they saw this. There were many antiques in Yu Ruyi. After all, this was one of the favorite objects of the ancients.

The most famous one is the one in the United States.

"Everyone should know that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty had a favorite treasure, which was the Ruyi jade. It was white in color and green in color. It looked gentle and elegant, and the feel was said to be quite good. Emperor Kangxi loved this Ruyi jade very much and often played with it. Of course, It’s a pity that this jade Ruyi is now in a museum in New York.”

"Mr. Tian Xia, could this jade Ruyi be related to that one? But in my opinion, the size is probably much worse!"

"Haha, of course. But according to expert research, this jade Ruyi was also produced in the early Qing Dynasty, and there is an inscription 'Wu' on it." At the same time, pictures of Yu Ruyi began to appear on the surrounding screens, and the jade Ruyi was The word Wu is clearly displayed in everyone's eyes.

"Could it be Wu Sangui?" It was a voice from the box on the second floor.

This is a female voice, and she must be quite old by the sound of her voice.

"Auctioneer Tian, ​​bid quickly!" the female voice said again.

Tian Xia nodded and said loudly: "Well, this lot has a beautiful shape, smooth lines, and the overall shape is cylindrical. The jade Ruyi is pure in color, exuding a soft light, and has three tiny cracks. This is a testimony of the years, and the cracks themselves are also Does not affect the appearance. The size is..."

After talking about the size, Tian Xia paused and said, "The starting price is 300 million."

"500 million." A female voice sounded from the second floor.

After a while, someone below immediately shouted: "550 million, Granny Huo, I also like this lot, I can't part with it." But he revealed the identity of the female voice on the second floor, Granny Huo, a rich man from Sichuan and an antiques dealer. The boss of the business.

"Six million." Someone shouted again at this time.

Xiao Shihua's eyes were filled with strangeness as she listened to these movements.

"Old man, is this all money they are calling for?"

"Yes." Zhao Xin explained in detail to Xiao Shihua.

This lot was finally bought by Granny Huo for 800 million yuan, which was a good start for the auction house.

Lots are being auctioned one after another, most of which are priced at 10,000+, but of course there are also millions.

Not long after, lot 53 was carried up by several big men.

"Everyone, the name of this lot is called the Seven-Eaves Pagoda. It came back from overseas. The seller said it was passed down from his family, and the time it started to spread should be the period of the Eight-Power Allied Forces. According to research, this lot is from the Qing Dynasty. The workmanship is extremely exquisite.”

"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. It's a pity that this seven-eaves pagoda is missing the jade Buddha inside." At this time, someone in another treasure box on the second floor said. The man's voice was not old, he sounded like he was middle-aged. people.

"Yes, the VIP in Box No. 50 is right, so this lot starts at [-]."

"80." The man in box No. [-] shouted the price.

"Old man, do we want to film this?" Xiao Shihua asked.

"Yes, wait until no one calls you."

"I'll shout." Xiao Shihua's eyes lit up, and she was quite eager to give it a try: "No, it's just a small amount of money."

"It's okay, just you. After all, you are the youngest."

"Hehe, okay!" Although Xiao Shihua said, her eyes had begun to focus on the situation in the venue.

At this moment, the price has exceeded 100 million, which is exactly what the person in Box [-] called.

The person in Box No. 300 continued: "After all, there is no Jade Buddha anymore, otherwise the value would be at least [-] million."

"Shall we shout, old man?" Xiao Shihua asked.

"Shout." Xin Zhao nodded.

Xiao Shihua had already asked how to shout. She picked up the loudspeaker and shouted: "150 million."

As soon as this voice came out, everyone present was immediately stunned.

After all, this is an auction house. Why did a kid suddenly come to make a bid? You must know that the bids here are legally responsible, and you cannot make a bid without paying.

Auctioneer Tian Xia looked at Box No. [-] and asked, "Dear guest in Box No. [-], the price you just quoted seems to be a child's. I wonder if it can be counted?"

"For the record, the next quotations will be made by this voice." Caroline next to Xin Zhao replied next to Xiao Shihua. Caroline has been following Xin Zhao, and she is Xin Zhao's personal bodyguard.

"Yes." After receiving a positive reply, Tian Xia looked at the crowd and said, "Seven-eaves Pagoda, the bid for the second box is 150 million, is there anyone else who bids?"

Although he asked, Tian Xia's eyes were looking at Box [-].

"160 million." The middle-aged man in Box [-] followed the quotation and added [-].

"170." Xiao Shihua looked at Xin Zhao and shouted.

"The price for box number two is 170 million." Tian Xia repeated.

"Two million." The middle-aged man in Box No. 200 hesitated and said, "My mother believes in Buddhism, so she plans to buy it back."

"220 million." Caroline said for a moment as a child next to her, and then Xiao Shihua shouted out. After all, she was still a child in kindergarten, so it was already good to be able to shout "[-], [-]."

"250 million." Middle-aged man No. [-] shouted without hesitation.

"Two hundred and fifty apiece," said Caroline.

"250 million ten thousand." Xiao Shihua repeated it, but she added the word "ten thousand" at the end.
