Manor Romance

Chapter 110 Auction

"Mr. Quan Ting's arrangement, to have you and Mr. Ren as company, this kind of opportunity is something money can't buy, I'm really grateful." The second half of Wang Chengyuan's sentence was for Yun Li, and Yun Li also replied with a smile.

"If you say that, some people will be upset." As soon as Yun Li finished speaking, Ren Fei reminded him.

Yun Li paused for a moment, then immediately came to his senses, and added: "Of course, being able to work with Miss Wang is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and it's an extreme honor."

Both Ren Fei and Wang Chengyuan were amused by his words, and it was only at this time that Wang Yuyao came to his senses and rolled his eyes at the three of them, which made everyone laugh heartily. pretty good.

As early as a few days ago, Yunli received a message from Wang Yuyao, saying that Mr. Ren would visit her company in the next few days, and he was willing to show the silk painting. , This is a rare opportunity, so he came here without hesitation. It just so happened that Mingyi Hotel also had an invitation for a meeting, so he made this trip.

The silk painting in their mouth is naturally the picture of the ancient painting that Wang Yuyao gave him when he went to the manor last time. This silk painting is probably related to Princess Gexian, so no matter what, Yunli wants to see it Take a look at the real picture to see if this silk painting is really related to Princess Gexian, or get some relevant clues from it.

Looking at silk paintings is the top priority. As for participating in the auction, since Wang Chengyuan and the others have invited him, Yunli is also very happy to see it. He is indeed very interested in antiques, and he loved visiting antique markets before, but he didn't participate. Since he had never held any kind of auction, since he had this opportunity this time, he had to experience it.

Both Ren Fei and Wang Chengyuan are knowledgeable people. After some conversations, Yunli benefited a lot. In particular, Ren Fei is an important think-tank figure in the government. This time, he made a lot of suggestions for the development plan of the southwest region. Don't make any suggestions, the topic of this aspect is also involved in the chat, those insights really made Yunli amazed.

Afterwards, Wang Chengyuan took Ren Fei and Yunli to visit the newly-built park of Nanyuan Group. Since the development plan of the southwest region has been roughly determined, many infrastructure projects are already under construction or in preparation, and Nanyuan Group has also undertaken many projects. Projects, such as construction development, logistics network layout, media information platform, and investment in shopping malls and shopping centers, there are many subdivided small projects below, which involve all aspects. In fact, the real strength is stronger than Yunli imagined. A lot stronger.

When he first knew that the country was going to vigorously develop the southwest region, Wang Chengyuan made a decisive decision and shifted the focus of the group's work here, and invested in the construction of a new park regardless of the cost. It took only two years of construction time for the new park to be invested in Using them provides a solid foundation for them to seize development opportunities. It has to be said that Wang Chengyuan's vision and courage are really extraordinary.

After lunch, they set off to the place where the auction was located. Although it was very close to the border, there was still a long way to go. They set off in the afternoon, and they would arrive at their destination in the evening.

In addition to Yunli and the four of them, there are several other people from the Nanyuan Group who came together. They are all high-level figures. They should have accompanied Wang Chengyuan to inspect. Not bored either.

What they came to was a small border town named Indytonha, which means welcome in Lao, and it is generally called Yincheng.Strictly speaking, this place is no longer in the country. It belongs to an autonomous force in the north of Laos. It basically belongs to a free zone. Various underground transactions are booming, which has also driven a series of economic development here, and has become an important tourist attraction. District, somewhat similar to Lambert Street.

This small town has only sprung up in recent years. It is not as perfect as Lambert Street in many aspects, but this has not diminished everyone's enthusiasm, especially the high degree of freedom of commodity trading here, which has attracted many businesses to try new things, especially antiques. A class of commodities, amazing items appear on the market frequently, which makes the popularity of Yincheng rise day by day.

Wang Chengyuan is very familiar with Yincheng. After getting off the car, he took everyone to have a full meal of special Lao food. It was quite different from what Yunli had eaten at Lin Changqing's house before. He carefully distinguished it. Lin Changqing's house should be authentic. Lao dishes are prepared using the most authentic local methods.

And what they ate this time should be the improved Lao dishes to cater to the tastes of the guests. The taste is quite good, especially they like to eat raw vegetables dipped in various seasonings. Yunli also likes this natural food very much. How to eat.

Both the exhibition and the auction were held in a very famous hotel in Indian City. The exhibition started more than a week ago and attracted many collectors and enthusiasts. This auction is also part of the exhibition. In the first part, there are related introductions in the exhibition promotion, which should also be the climax of this exhibition. Many people are gearing up, waiting for the auction to start, hoping that there will be surprising items.

Although this is not a formal auction, in terms of form, it still follows a strict process. If Ren Fei and Wang Chengyuan weren't there, Yunli probably wouldn't have had the chance to enter the venue. This doesn't mean that you If you have money, you can go in and bid.

The venue was held in a conference room, and the relevant auction items had been publicized and introduced before. This is a common practice in general auctions, so as to avoid disputes over authenticity. It doesn't matter to the auctioneer, because the information of the goods is transparent and open. The authenticity of the goods can only be judged by the buyer's eyes. However, in general auctions, there are very few counterfeit goods.

"It turns out that you all knew the auctioned items in advance. It's so boring, without any sense of mystery." Wang Yuyao took the introduction book given by the meeting party, flipped through the content, and said with a disappointed face.

Wang Chengyuan had long expected her reaction in this way, so he explained patiently: "For a formal auction, all information about the auction items will be announced before the auction, and some important auction items will be announced several months in advance. , this is nothing unusual."

"Some controversial auction items will be released a long time in advance, and the news will be released to test everyone's reaction. After collecting enough feedback, a formal auction decision will be made. Especially some national treasures Each item has a huge attention group behind it, which makes the auctioneer have to handle it carefully, but some people like to make a fuss about this kind of thing, attracting attention and stirring up wind and rain. This is another kind of The situation is over," Ren Fei added.

Wang Yuyao was at a loss when he heard it, half understanding, but Yunli knew this situation very well, even though he had never been to any auction in person, he still had some common sense.

For this auction, the conference room has obviously undergone special changes. There is a long ring-shaped water-flowing booth in the middle. According to the information book, visitors can watch the auction items at a close distance around them, just like revolving sushi. , This kind of auction is much more interesting, and the host will also stand in the booth to bid.

The venue is very large and can accommodate more than 100 people. Yunli and the others were relatively late, and it was already full of seats when they arrived. However, Wang Chengyuan and the others had already reserved a seat, and finally they were in a corner of the booth I sat down on the table, this corner location, when the auction items pass by here, there will be a long buffer time, allowing them to watch and appreciate them carefully, which is quite good.

The guests in the venue came from all over the world. Before the auction started, everyone was talking about something in a low voice. There were so many people chatting together, but it didn’t look like a mess. It didn’t look like a vegetable market. Some Chinese visitors brought Ren Fei and Wang Chengyuan recognized them, and several of them came over to say hello, all with expressions of respect and admiration, which gave Yunli a different understanding of the reputation of these two people.

Not long after, the staff from the auctioneer also came to the booth. The person in charge of the auction was a lady in her thirties, dressed in professional attire, with short hair and a good-looking face. The security personnel moved the sealed boxes one by one into the booth with a trolley.

Taking advantage of the preparation time, the host looked around at the guests. The number of people present was quite good, and many of them were old faces. They could be called names in this circle. She also went to greet some people she knew well. A few words.

"Mr. Ren, you're here too, and Mr. Wang. After the auction is over, I'll take you to the exhibition area." The host came to Yunli's place and treated Ren Fei and Wang Chengyuan politely. bowed and said.

"Old Pan is so lucky. He has a capable granddaughter like you to take over. Didn't he come today? Couldn't he be staying at home watching TV?" Ren Fei joked.

The host smiled and replied: "The old man of my family basically doesn't take care of things anymore. Now he takes a walk every day, plays with flowers and plants, and recently became obsessed with raising birds. He doesn't feel comfortable if he doesn't go for a few laps every day. I also take He has no choice, he will come over later, he said that he wants to catch up with you no matter what, and I will take you there after finishing the auction."

Ren Fei nodded and said: "That's good, you go and do your work."

"Okay, nephew is busy with work first, I hope you can have a good harvest." After the host said, he bowed to them again, and then returned to the center of the booth to make the final preparations before the auction.

"Old man, was the host just now the granddaughter of your old friend?" Wang Yuyao asked curiously.

"That's right. Her name is Pan Ying. The auction houses that Lao Pan has invested in, as well as some subsequent projects, are all managed by her now. In name, this exhibition is organized by Lao Pan. She is also the one behind the scenes, which is not easy, let her take you to see the silk painting you want to see later." Ren Fei explained.
