Sorry, I'm too busy at work and exhausted. That's all for today. I beg for your forgiveness! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Chapter 68
As the lanterns come on and night falls, the large banquet hall located on the ninth floor of the Bisi Hotel is magnificent and newly decorated. The auction will be held here tonight.
In the evening, Mr. Wu personally went to pick up Zhou Cheng. The two sat down in their seats and began to study tonight's exhibits. What Mr. Wu cares most about is naturally Tang Yin's "Spring Palace Pictures". Looking at the promotional brochure, the old man could not move away for a moment. His fascination with Tang Yin's calligraphy and paintings reminded him of Zhao Ji's "Xuanhe" last time. "Tea Treatise".
Zhou Cheng is even thinking that if he and the old man can't compete with each other, he will also post his granddaughter. After so many years, I don¡¯t know how many daughters this old man has, and how many granddaughters he can support.
Zhou Cheng was speechless to Old Man Wu, and he didn¡¯t know whether he wanted to study the Spring Palace in ancient times, or whether he really cared about this painting. He didn't ask politely, because even if the old man really wanted to collect Chun Gong, he would definitely refuse to admit it. I can only talk about pursuing art and loving antiques.
Zhou Cheng came to the auction purely because Old Man Wu brought him here to broaden his horizons. If Zhou Cheng could recharge a large amount before, after all, he had a lot of cash in his hands. But now, Zhou Cheng only has a little money in his hands, so how can he possibly participate in such a conference.
The waiting time is boring, at least for people like Zhou Cheng who are not too enthusiastic about auctions. I casually picked up the brochure of the exhibits at this auction. I really had nothing to do, so I decided to take a look at what was being sold at this auction.
Antiques, calligraphy and paintings, celebrity manuscripts, jewelry and jade, and even all kinds of strange things. Zhou Cheng just appreciates these things with an attitude of appreciation.
At 7:30 in the evening, the auction officially started, and Zhou Cheng suddenly became energetic and focused on the items in the auction. Mr. Wu was also in great spirits. While waiting for Tang Yin's authentic work to appear, he briefly chatted with Zhou Cheng.
Auction is indeed a game that only rich people can participate in. Often a simple thing can be sold for a staggering price after some processing at the auction. Compared to people like Zhou Cheng, he came here to gain experience, and even the reason for gaining experience was made up by himself to deceive himself.
Bisi Hotel is the leading super five-star hotel in Nanming City. Not far from the banquet hall, you will reach an open cafe. The cafe environment is very elegant. Through the floor-to-ceiling glass, you can see Go outside to the stars. The coffee shop wraps the aisle inside, and people walk through it from time to time, but because of this, the coffee shop integrates all these very well, and the occasional flow of people brings some vitality to the coffee shop.
Zhou Cheng ordered a glass of Blue Mountain and sat there quietly. To be honest, Zhou Cheng was still very angry about what happened during the day, especially because he felt a little useless. He was a great master of the Zhou Dynasty, and the dragon was kicked out without seeing its end. Especially in the end, a few temporary security guards dared to make fun of him, and it turned out that the villain succeeded.
Although he didn¡¯t say anything and seemed friendly, he was actually quite aggrieved. Especially when he thought that Zhang Wei wouldn't be able to survive for a few days before the Illuminati would take care of him. I had in mind that this guy would soon be unlucky, so I had no plans to do anything about it. Just like what Zhang Zhihong had arranged before, he would take advantage of this month and a half to take a good vacation, and then join the Urban Construction Bureau again.
But on the way, he thought about the loneliness and shame of leaving the Urban Construction Bureau. The more he thought about it, the more shameful it became. He always wanted to do something to comfort his wounded heart.
It seems that although he initiated the whole incident, he was completely used as a gunman behind the scenes. Is Zhou Cheng a gun?
Yes, and it is an extremely lethal gun. At this moment, a few blunt Chinese words came to Zhou Cheng's ears. Out of curiosity, Zhou Cheng looked in the direction of the sound.
I saw a woman in white and elegant business attire negotiating with the store. Judging from her behavior, she did not look like a republican at all.
"Oriental?"
Zhou Cheng, however, had some clues. He wanted to hear more about what this beautiful woman did and whether there was any conspiracy behind her coming here.
At this moment, Mr. Wu¡¯s life secretary came to Zhou Cheng and whispered: ¡°Mr. Zhou, Mr. Wu wants you to come in.¡±
Zhou Cheng nodded. It seemed that the "Spring Palace Picture" was going to be auctioned soon. Although Zhou Cheng's living secretary walked a few steps, he heard another daughter's voice, turned around, and took another curious look.
At this time, Old Man Wu¡¯s life secretary noticed Zhou Cheng¡¯s behavior and glanced at theThe woman next to him was also surprised. But he still whispered in Zhou Cheng's ear: "This is Ms. Yumi Oda, the president of Oda Co., Ltd. Greater China. She came to our Nanming some time ago and is inspecting the investment environment in Nanming. Judging from the current situation, the question should be Not big. Oda Corporation, represented by Yumi Oda, invested US$500 million in Nanming City for the processing and production of electronic components.¡±
"Oda Yumi? Is it her? Is it a coincidence?" Zhou Cheng did not expect that this beautiful woman would be the key to unlocking the treasure. Was her arrival a coincidence or deliberate? Didn't the man in black say that Oda Yumi and even the Oda family didn't know about the existence of this treasure?
"Huh?" At this time, Zhou Cheng noticed a few people walking over, especially when they passed by Oda Yumi, there was a hint of excitement in their eyes. This is not the main crime. The most important thing is that these people are not easy to stretch out their hands, and their inner Qi has already reached the level of the Book of Changes.
"A disciple of the sect where the man in black belongs?" Zhou Cheng deeply forgot about the other side and couldn't figure out what was going on. Is Oda Yumi and these people in the same group?
"If it's not, it's okay, but if it's true, then with Oda Yumi here and their research on the treasure, it's definitely not the result of one plus one equals two, and it's very likely that I will lose this windfall."
Zhou Cheng wrote them down and showed no other signs. Instead, he followed Mr. Wu's life secretary into the venue and sat down at Mr. Wu's table. Old man Wu looked at Zhou Cheng and thought Zhou Cheng was gone.
"You brat, it's so boring to accompany the old man to the auction. You want to run away before the old man's favorite thing is auctioned." Old man Wu was also very angry about Zhou Cheng's actions, but he couldn't do anything to Zhou Cheng. It is an act that is not worth the gain.
"The environment here makes my heart a little unbearable. To be honest, this auction is not for poor people like me. Look at these people, they seem to be given for free. They are obviously not worth so much money. They go there desperately. I really don¡¯t know if these people were kicked in the head by a donkey or caught in the crack of the door. Especially the letter from Wang Anshi was sold for a high price of 30 million. It is obviously not worth that much.
"But these people seem to be crazy about the desperate online prices. "Zhou Cheng said in confusion. Although 30 million is not the highest price in the entire auction, it is definitely the most influential one.
"Wang Anshi's letters are so well-preserved, they must be worth the money. But" After Zhou Cheng finished speaking, seeing how anxious he looked, he told him the matter directly without any delay.
"What, you said that Wang Anshi's letter just now is a fake, a high imitation?" After hearing Zhou Cheng's words, Old Man Wu was shocked. This is a world-famous auction. There is no such thing as a high-priced item that has been auctioned here. The experts checked again and again before confirming that the item was genuine. Otherwise, if you messed with the auction sign, you would definitely be killed.
