Chapter 13 Auction House Owner
The guards led Luo Xingwei to Box 2. Box 1 was empty and reserved for the boss behind the scenes anytime and anywhere.
Since he came to work here, he has not seen the boss come here once, but today he heard that someone from Box 1 came.
I don't know what kind of person can run such a large auction house, but this is definitely not something that a little guard like him can know.
Luo Xingwei came to the private room and sat down. It was indeed a VIP box.
A huge floor-to-ceiling window can provide a panoramic view of all the conditions of the venue. You can see the outside from the inside, but you cannot see the people inside from the outside.
As the stage lights came on, the host announced the start of the auction.
The No. 1 auction item was a piece of imperial green jadeite, which was sold for 30 million.
……
"The next item to be auctioned is the Heart of the Sea worn by the second generation queen of the ancient European royal family. The starting price is 20 million."
“Wow, this one looks really good.”
"I bid, twenty-five million."
"Thirty million", "Thirty-two million", "Thirty-eight million", "Forty million"...
Qin Yuan asked Luo Yanrou beside him: "Rourer, I think this Sea Blue Heart is very suitable for you."
In fact, Luo Yanrou has been deeply attracted by this necklace since she saw it, and her eyes were wide open.
But when Qin Yuan asked her, she still pretended to refuse: "No, Brother Yuan, it's just a necklace, it's too expensive."
"As long as you like it, I will take a picture and give it to you." Then he shouted out the price: "50 million."
In the No. 1 box upstairs, "Third brother, why do you suddenly want to come to the auction house? Are you interested in something?"
But what good things can this small Cloud City have?" Lin Xingyao said while eating nuts, "Why don't you just keep what you want in advance, why come to the auction?"
Wei Chenrui thought that since he was already in Yuncheng, he would stop by the auction house to take a look.
Seeing the purple grass in the auction list handed over by his servants, looking at the picture, he instantly thought that the suitcase in the bar that day contained purple grass like this.
I guess this thing is quite important to the little girl.
That day he didn't know that this grass was so precious, he thought it was just an ordinary and pretty grass.
Since this thing appeared in his auction house, he must get it and give it to the little girl.
Consider it compensation for that day.
It's just that the auction list has been announced. If he keeps it privately, he will break the rules.
You can only come to the auction house and go through the process once. Anyway, it is a matter of leaving the left pocket and putting it in the right pocket.
"Is there anyone else bidding?"
"Fifty million for the second time"
Qin Yuan showed a smile that was determined to win.
Seeing the Heart of the Sea, Wei Chenrui felt that this gadget matched the little girl very well.
"Wei Bei, bid," Wei Chenrui gestured.
"Yes, Third Master". Wei Bei pressed the bidder and entered the number.
"The bid for Box 1 is million," the host shouted.
Qin Yuan's face was slightly chapped, where did Cheng Yaojin come from.
Originally, he almost got it for 50 million, but this person doubled the price. Is anyone asking for such a price?
Is this too much money to burn?
"Brother Yuan, just forget it, it's not worth so much." Qin Yuan looked at Yan Rou, who clearly liked her but was still thinking about him, with tears in his eyes that made Qin Yuan feel pity for her.
"Rou'er, don't worry, I will definitely take the photo for you." Qin Yuan raised his sign again, "I bid 110 million."
With a look from Wei Chenrui, Wei Bei immediately understood and pressed the number.
"The bid for Box 1 is million."
Hiss, the whole audience gasped.
Where does this big boss come from? He is actually worth 100 million.
Qin Yuan was so angry that he bared his teeth and gritted his teeth, "Two hundred and ten million."
"Three hundred million", box No. 1 continued to bid.
Qin Yuan had to give up. This time he brought a total of 500 million, with the purpose of taking a picture and giving it as a congratulatory gift to Mr. Chu.
The Chu family is one of the four great families in the capital. Originally, a small Yuncheng family was not qualified enough to attend the Chu family's birthday banquet.
But because the sister of the current head of the Qin family, Qin Yuan's sister-in-law, married the second wife of the Chu family.
Therefore, his father specially told him that he would win the ink painting by Master Smile from this auction as a congratulatory gift.
Master Smile is a famous traditional Chinese painting master who has become famous in recent years.
Mr. Chu, in particular, is a loyal fan of this master and can't put it down for his ink landscape paintings.
The auction continues, and finally it’s time for the auction of this painting.
Many of the people present today also came here for this painting.
Because although Master Smile is famous, there are only a few paintings circulated outside.
This has attracted many enthusiasts to fight for their scalps and buy them for collection.
"The starting price is 50 million."
"I will pay 80 million"
"Ninety million"
"One hundred million"
"One hundred and ten million"
"Three hundred million," Qin Yuan shouted directly.
Everyone turned around to see who had bid the price.
The people who came today were all respectable people, and many of them recognized Young Master Qin.
Seeing that it was him who made the bid, he stopped thinking about bidding. After all, the Qin family is the head of the three major families in Yuncheng.
The three major families in Yuncheng are the Qin family, the Luo family and the Yun family.
The Yun family is Yun Yuyan's mother's family.
After Luo Xingwei's biological mother passed away, Luo Tianpeng married Yun Yuyan, the daughter of the Yun family.
Seeing that no one was bidding anymore, Qin Yuan was in a good mood, which satisfied his vanity.
Just when he thought the dust had settled, Box 1 directly offered 8 million.
Qin Yuan's smile hadn't even returned yet, he was so angry that he couldn't maintain his image and cursed loudly.
---In Box 1 upstairs
"Wow, it's actually a painting by Smile Master. I heard that Smile Master became a god with his painting and reached the peak of his career," Lin Xingyao said.
Wei Chenrui didn't know much about painting, but he knew that the old man of the Chu family was very good at it, especially the paintings of Master Smile. Every time a new painting appeared, he spent a lot of money to collect it.
He thought that Old Chu's birthday party was approaching, so he just gave this painting to make the old man happy.
The Chu family and the Wei family are both the four major aristocratic families in the capital, and the two families have always had a good relationship. Mr. Chu's eldest grandson, Chu Lingkong, is both his classmate and his best friend since childhood.
The auction is coming to an end, and it has finally ushered in its finale item.
Luo Xingwei finally put away his lazy expression.
"This last item is Purple Sky Grass."
