From poor god to richest man

Chapter 373
Sunday, May 29th, the last day of the auction.

This year's heaviest auction in the City of Light was held at the largest auction hall in the Olud Auction House of Light.

When Zhen Qiong came to the auction hall ahead of time, he sighed secretly in his heart: "This Olud Auction House of Light is really rich and powerful!"

In the auction hall in front of you, resplendent decorations can be seen everywhere, but they don't look tacky at all, but give people a noble and elegant feeling.

On the semi-circular auction stage, there are security personnel doing the final inspection to ensure that there will be no accidents on the stage when the auction will be held later.

Around the auction hall, the chairs arranged layer by layer are no longer simple folding chairs, but sofas that look very comfortable.

The black base, the red fabric, seems to be embroidered with gorgeous patterns with gold thread, it is not cheap at first glance.

This is not so much an auction hall as it is an opera house.

Zhen Qiong could even imagine the appearance of a so-called aristocrat sitting on the sofa, shaking his head while enjoying an opera.

However, Zhen Qiong didn't find a place to sit down, but came to a box on the second floor under the guidance of the staff.

More than 100 million Gallo langs were spent in one day, and the money was paid and picked up on the same day. In the eyes of the executives of the Aulud Auction House of Light, Zhen Qiong was undoubtedly a high-quality customer.

What's more, Zhen Qiong handed over 500 million Gaulang as a deposit for tonight's auction.

Therefore, in order to convey their goodwill, the senior management of the auction house decided to give Zhen Qiongteng a box and let him enjoy the super VIP treatment in advance.

You must know that not just anyone can enter the box in this auction hall.

I heard that apart from the super VIPs of the Olud Auction House of Light, those who can sit in a box for a long time are all people on Earth Blue Star with considerable influence.

In the box, Zhen Qiong sat on the sofa in the main seat, and through a huge window, he could overlook the auction platform from a high position.

With his eyesight, he could clearly see the direction of the grain of the original wooden floor on the auction stage.

Of course, in order to serve some people with bad eyesight, there is also a [-]-inch LCD TV in the box.

It can present the details of the lot at close range and in high-definition for the guests in the box to appreciate and taste.

And in the private room, the most important button is naturally the button used to call the price. Just pressing it lightly is equivalent to raising a card once.

There is also a touch screen next to the button. If you don’t want to bid slowly, you can directly enter an amount to increase the price of the lot by several levels in one go.

If you don't like buttons and touch screens, you can also raise the placard directly, and a special person will watch the box and pass it to the auctioneer immediately.

Picking up the goblet at the side, Zhen Qiong smelled the pale golden liquid in the glass, it was champagne, and it was expensive champagne.

Putting down the goblet, Zhen Qiong said, "Pour me a glass of water! Drinking alcohol will slow down the reaction, which is not conducive to the upcoming auction."

"Okay. Mr. Zhen." After Wen Wan'er responded, there was an extra glass of water on the table next to Zhen Qiong. I heard that this water is still mountain spring water, which is more nutritious than ordinary water and also more expensive.

In fact, there were waiters in the box, but Zhen Qiong said that they didn't need it, so they all left.

Although the box that Zhen Qiong was in was relatively close to the side, it was also the box of the Olud Auction House of Light.

All the guests in the box must do their best to serve them well. This is what every waiter in the Aulud Auction House of Light must firmly remember on the first day of work.

Therefore, when leaving, the waiter politely stated that if there is any need, they can be summoned directly.

"Mr. Zhen, the box near the middle belongs to the Boal family. I heard that they own that box forever." Meng Hu said.

Many boxes in this auction hall are not permanently owned by a certain person. After all, in the business field, one failure may result in bankruptcy.

As for the profit-oriented capital, if you are all bankrupt, then naturally it is impossible to keep the box for you.

Therefore, if you want to enjoy the services in these boxes, you need to pay a high "rent" to the Olud Auction House of Light every year.

Even after paying the rent, they can't enjoy it several times a year, but there are still many people who gritted their teeth and took out the money.

Because it's about their face, even their business.

For example, someone suddenly stopped renting a private room, and if other people know about it, there is reason to suspect that there is something wrong with this person in the capital chain?
When that person greets him, there may be other people's condolences and help, but there will also be opponents and pursuers who will fall into trouble.

By the way, Zhen Qiong's current private room was given up by a businessman after he went bankrupt, and it happened to be cheaper for Zhen Qiong.

In addition, it is only a one-time experience, so Zhen Qiong does not need to pay an extra fee.

Being able to permanently own a box shows how rich the Boal family's background is, and even the Olud Auction House of Light must sell them a face.

"Where is the middle box? Whose is it?" Zhen Qiong asked.

"Some say it belongs to the Prime Minister of Gaul, and some say it belongs to the boss behind the Olude Auction House of Light, who used it personally, but it has not been confirmed." Meng Hu replied.

"Well. Don't bother with them, you'll know later... who will win."

After saying this, Zhen Qiong looked towards the first floor again, and he found that some people were setting up cameras, as if they were preparing to shoot.

"Can the auction be filmed?" Zhen Qiong was curious.

"Yes. Mr. Zhen. Those people are employees of the auction house. Every important auction will be broadcast live on the official website of the Aulud Auction House of Light."

"Tonight's auction will be broadcast on Gaul's Fortune Channel." This time it was Wen Wan'er who answered.

"It's quite high-profile." Zhen Qiong laughed, not particularly concerned.

"Mr. Zhen. Whether it is the official website or the live TV broadcast, the camera will mainly focus on the auction items, and generally not the people bidding."

"Especially the buyers in the box, each one has hands and eyes. If they are photographed without permission, even the Olud Auction House of Light will suffer a lot."

After listening to Wen Wan'er's words, Zhen Qiong laughed at himself and said, "Then I'm not the person in the box, did I slow you down?"

"President Zhen, you are joking."

Regarding Zhen Qiong's self-mockery, everyone present except Kun Yuxin felt that Mr. Zhen was being modest.

In their view, Mr. Zhen is also a member of an ancient family, so how could he downgrade the style of the box?Maybe there are people in other boxes who are holding back!
At seven o'clock in the evening, it finally came to the auction's scheduled start time.

An auctioneer in a suit and leather shoes, dressed as a gentleman, walked to the auction stage, introduced himself briefly, and then introduced some rules of tonight's auction.

In fact, those who can come to tonight's auction are people who are familiar with the rules, but this is a so-called tradition, and this auctioneer has no intention of breaking it.

Maybe they don't know that there is an idiom in Longhuang Country called "before the soldiers", but what they are doing now, in Zhen Qiong's view, the meaning is similar.

After introducing the rules, the auctioneer didn't want to tantalize people anymore, but directly asked the staff to bring up the first lot.

When the auctioneer carefully opened the red velvet cloth, there were waves of exclamations in the auction hall.

Because the first lot was the saber of the Emperor Bonaparte of Gaul.
