Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Liu Xiong called Su Zhe and asked him if he was interested in attending an auction together.

    Su Zhe thought it would be interesting to go to the auction, and he also wanted to ask Liu Xiong for help with something.  So he agreed and asked Liu Xiong the location and time of the auction.

    Liu Xiong told Su Zhe that the auction was today and he would come to pick up Su Zhe later.

    During this period, Liu Xiong often contacted Su Zhe, but most of them were on the phone.  Su Zhe hung up the phone and changed into a set of casual clothes in his room.

    Not long after, Liu Xiong called and said he had arrived.  Su Zhe said hello to An Xin and the others and hurried out.

    Liu Xiong¡¯s car was still the same Bentley Continental, but there was an extra driver. Judging from the driver¡¯s strong figure, Su Zhe guessed that the driver also served as Liu Xiong¡¯s bodyguard, while Liu Xiong himself sat in the back seat.

    After Su Zhe came out, Liu Xiong opened the car door, let Su Zhe sit in, and then the car started.

    "Brother Liu, what are the main items being auctioned this time?" Su Zhe asked.

    "The items in the auction are all kinds of things, including famous paintings, antiques, and gems." Liu Xiong said with a smile, "Because I went to participate alone and was a little bored, so I went with my brother. Brother, you won't blame me, right?"  "

    "How could it be? I'm glad that Brother Liu didn't have time yet and gave me the opportunity to increase my knowledge."

    During the conversation between the two people, they soon arrived at their destination, Phaeton Auction House.

    Phaeton Auction House is the most famous and powerful auction house in the country, and there are branches of Phaeton Auction House in relatively large cities.  With a high reputation and strong identification capabilities, news spread that items rarely auctioned by Phaeton Auction House are fakes.

    Liu Xiong and Su Zhe were led by the staff of Phaeton Auction House to a location closer to the auction table. This was specially arranged by Phaeton Auction House for Liu Xiong.

    There are many people in the auction house.

    Soon, a middle-aged man walked up to the auction stage. He held a microphone and said: "Welcome to all of you to participate in the auction held by Phaeton Auction House today. I am today's auctioneer Ye Mingzhe. I am honored to be able to serve you."  You are hosting today¡¯s auction. This auction is based on the principles of openness, fairness, justice, and honesty. I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically and wish you a happy purchase!¡±

    Everyone present applauded Ye Mingzhe. After everyone finished applauding, Ye Mingzhe began to announce the auction rules and precautions.

    After saying the same thing, Ye Mingzhe officially announced the start of the auction.

    The staff on the side came up with a tray.

    "First of all, the first item to be auctioned today is a topaz belt hook. The low price is 5 million. This topaz belt hook has been determined to be from the Western Han Dynasty. Please bid now." Not long after Ye Mingzhe finished speaking, someone started bidding.

    ¡°Five and a half million.¡±

    "Five.8 million"

    "Six million"

    In the end, this topaz belt hook was successfully auctioned for 10 million yuan, and the transaction price was twice as high as the low price.

    Liu Xiong also made a bid, but it seemed that he was not very interested in the topaz belt hook and stopped after the price reached 8 million.

    The second auction item was a blue and white porcelain vase from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, with a low price of one million, and the final transaction price was 3.5 million.

    One item after another was put up for auction, including porcelain, famous paintings, and a diamond necklace designed by a master.  Every item is successfully auctioned and there is no unsold item.

    Su Zhe just looked at it quietly and never quoted a price. He didn't have much interest in these things and didn't know how to appreciate them. It was just a waste of money to buy them.

    "It's normal that he didn't take pictures of the items, but after more than ten auction items were auctioned, it was a bit strange that Liu Xiong didn't take pictures of any of them. Su Zhe came to the auction but Liu Xiong called him.  Although Liu Xiong occasionally bids, the prices are not high. He just takes the picture if he can and doesn't force it.

    After auctioning an ancient painting, the staff did not take out the auction items again.

    ¡°The next auction item is believed to be the goal of most people coming to the auction this time.¡± Auctioneer Ye Mingzhe said.

    When Liu Xiong, who had been indifferent just now, heard this, he immediately sat up straight and stared at the auction table closely.  Su Zhe believed that the next auction item was Liu Xiong's goal at the auction.

    Ye Mingzhe didn¡¯t dare to show off and hurriedly asked the staff to bring up the auction items.

    "The next item to be auctioned is this wild ginseng. It has been identified as over 420 years old and weighs 82.6 grams. The low price is six million. Please bid now." Ye Mingzhe opened the box and picked it up.  givePeople in front of you see.

    "Eight million." A middle-aged man dressed as a businessman shouted, directly raising the price by two million.

    "I'll offer 8.5 million." A gray-haired old man bid.

    Although Liu Xiong was very concerned about this 420-year-old wild ginseng tree at the beginning, after the shooting officially started.  Liu Xiong calmed down and made no bid.

    Soon the price exceeded 9.5 million.

    This is when someone shouted: "Ten million." Raising the price to the tens of millions level, today's auction items except the first one reached ten million, the others are all below ten million.

    The bidder looked to be a middle-aged man in his forties, about the same age as Liu Xiong.  Depending on the situation, he looks majestic and heroic.

    After placing the bid, the middle-aged man looked in the direction of Su Zhe. Su Zhe had an intuition that the middle-aged man was looking at Liu Xiong.

    And Liu Xiong also started to bid at this time: "Eleven million."

    "Twelve million." The middle-aged man shouted, his name was Wang Anguo, and he was bound to get this ginseng.  His family business is in the field of medicinal materials, which is similar to Liu Xiong's. It is an upstart in the medicinal materials industry. At present, the biggest enemy is Liu Xiong's Liu's company.  Wang Anguo's industry does not have the heritage of Liu's enterprise as a century-old brand, and it is inferior to Liu's in everything.

    As for wild ginseng, Liu's company has wild ginseng that is more than 300 years old as a treasure, but Wang Anguo's company does not have wild ginseng that is more than a century old.  So no matter how much money he spent to have 420-year-old wild ginseng in this vintage, Wang Anguo would take a photo.

    "Thirteen million." Although Liu Xiong was not as determined as Wang Anguo to get this wild ginseng, he would not let go of such a good thing if possible.

    "Fourteen million." Wang Anguo then bid.

    By this time, basically only the two of them were making money, and no one else was participating anymore.

    Liu Xiong frowned and thought for a while before shouting: "Fifteen million."

    "Sixteen million." Wang Anguo added another million without any hesitation.
