Chapter 52 The Auction House

One day later, Baozhu happily put on the new dress given by Hua Boss and came to Luohua City Auction House early in the morning.

Although she is only here to help with chores, Baozhu said that any woman will lack resistance to good-looking clothes, and good-looking clothes should be put on as soon as possible to be serious.

In half an hour, the auction will start.

Although Baozhu is very familiar with the guys in the auction house, they are limited to gossip and chat with them outside the auction house.Today, this is the first time for her to cross the outside and enter the core area of ​​the auction house - the auction hall.

The layout of the auction hall is like a high-end open tea house.Dozens of sandalwood square tables are placed on the three floors inside and outside the hall of about a hundred square meters.The square table is arranged in a ring on three sides, enclosing a display and working table in the middle of the hall. The unenclosed side of the display table is an aisle leading to the back room of the auction house, which is convenient for the staff to take out the auction exhibits from the back room.

Baozhu's cameo role is... er, to be the hostess lady!To put it bluntly, all the exhibits are put on the tray from the orbs to the stage for all bidders to watch.

When Yu, the treasurer of the auction house, explained her work tasks to Baozhu, Baozhu said that she could not do this job...

Just kidding, all the exhibits must be of great value. She usually dare not even touch the bowls and plates of Ruyixuan. Today, she is asked to hold these auction items... In case there is something wrong with those auction items, she will be in the Ruyixuan. The debt has not been paid off yet, and she has to owe a whole lot of debt to the auction house, so wouldn't she have to stay in Luohua City to pay off the debt for the rest of her life?

"Shopkeeper Yu, change another job for me, I can't do this job!" Baozhu shook her head like a rattle.

Shopkeeper Yu was not in a hurry, and just said flatly: "Your job is arranged by Cheng... Playboy. If you have any opinions, you can ask him."

"..." Baozhu suddenly lost his voice, Boss Hua!

Looking at the new clothes on her body, Baozhu patted her head and gritted her teeth: "I know that every time I accept a small favor from you, there must be a big hole waiting for me!"

While talking, some guests have already entered the auction hall with bidding posts.

Auction posts, similar to modern-day tickets.Anyone who needs to enter the auction hall, regardless of whether he participates in the auction or not, must enter the venue with the auction post.Moreover, it does not mean that if you have money, you will be able to buy the auction post. The auction house will have a special person to verify the identity of the person who buys the auction post. That is, only people with a certain identity or corresponding spending power can buy the auction post.For the winner of the auction, the auction house will decide whether to publish the personal information of the bidder according to its willingness.

Each auction post is priced at [-] Malats.

Baozhu once inquired that she earns [-] coins a month working in Ruyixuan, which is considered a high income in Luohua City.Although this income has never passed through her hands, she has also been complacent for a few days because she belongs to the high-income group.

Baozhu couldn't help feeling, one hundred coins!One hundred coins is just to buy a chance to enter the venue and participate in the auction.The price of this bidding post is more than her three-month salary. This auction is indeed a rich man's game...

The auction house's income from selling bidding posts in a single auction event is already very rich, and after each auction item is successfully auctioned, the auction house also has a small commission.

These news were given to Baozhu by Ling Zhuangfei, a buddy of the auction house.Ling Zhuangfei is the son of Uncle Ling, the chef of Ruyixuan. He is in his twenties this year and has been working as a clerk in the auction house for three years. At this moment, he is serving the brewed tea on each table one by one.

"Brother Zhuangfei, in this way, shopkeeper Yu can really make more money than our shopkeeper Qin. If you come up with such a way to sell auction posts, you won't lose money no matter what!" Snacks like fruits and melon seeds, he said.

"I heard that the shopkeeper did not come up with this idea. It is said that there was no charge for participating in the auction in the past, and there was no identification of the people who entered the venue in advance. As a result, every time the auctioneers participated in the auction, the scene was chaotic. Five years When the former new city lord took office, he came up with this method, and it turned out that some boring people or malicious vandals were turned away."

It's the city lord again... Baozhu came to Luohua City for more than half a year, and I heard too many diners mention this city lord in Ruyixuan, but I haven't seen it once.I think this city lord is really good at managing and earning money. If placed in the 21st century, he would definitely be an elite figure...

"Brother Zhuangfei, have you met the city owner?" Baozhu asked curiously.

"I'm not high enough to meet the city lord!" Ling Zhuangfei said frankly: "I reckon this Luohua City, that is, our shopkeeper Yu and your Ruyixuan's shopkeeper Qin are lucky enough to meet the city lord. I heard that even the rich man Wang Youcai I have never seen Lord City Lord..."

The two talked while doing the work in their hands, and soon put melons, fruits and tea on all the tables.At this time, more than ten guests had entered the hall.

The two put away the plates in their hands and were about to go to the back room, when they heard a dissatisfied shout from the entrance of the hall: "What a crap! I bought a bidding post, and I was interrogated for a long time! Open your eyes! Take a good look at your dog eyes, I am Long Aotian from Half Moon Valley..."

"Aotian! Don't be rude! Don't lose my Ban Yuegu bearing!" A thick voice interrupted the previous clamor.

As soon as the voice fell, two people walked into the hall.

The man walking in front was about 20 years old, wearing a blue silk robe, thin, but not bad in appearance, but he showed a wretched and sickly temperament.There is a man in the back, about 22 or [-] years old, dressed in a black brocade robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a hulking back.Take a closer look at the eyebrows and eyes of the two of them, there are three points similar...

At this moment, the man walking in front was still cursing, walked to a table and pulled out a chair vigorously and sat down, expressing his strong disdain and dissatisfaction with what the latter had just interrupted him.Seeing this, the latter also pulled out a chair beside him and sat down, and there was no communication between the two of them.

"Who are those two people?" Baozhu saw these in the back, and curiously asked Ling Zhuangfei beside him.

"Those are the two sons of Half Moon Valley. The one in the black robe is the eldest son Long Xiaotian, and the one in the blue robe is the second son Long Aotian."

After finishing speaking, Ling Zhuangfei lowered his voice and said: "This Long Xiaotian was born to Mr. Longxue's original spouse. It's just that this original spouse passed away when Long Xiaotian was less than one year old, and Mr. Longxue continued to live. Next time Zilong Aotian."

"It is rumored that Mr. Longxue doesn't pay much attention to his eldest son, Long Xiaotian, but he loves his second son, Long Aotian. In the early years, he wanted to marry Yin Ruoyu of Ginkgo Villa for him, and he also wanted to make him the heir of Half Moon Valley."

Hearing this, Baozhu said that if there is a father who dotes on his children, he will definitely have an arrogant and domineering son!From the moment when the second son of the Long family walked into the hall, she could tell that Long Aotian was definitely not a master with excellent character.The first impression that Long Xiaotian gave people was that he was honest and upright.
