Damn! I reached the pinnacle of life with the help of the rich system

Chapter 25 The auction begins! Get the Jade Set!

Soon it was time for the auction. During dinner, Xu Yan told her family that she was going out and would be back late.

The other three said they were used to Xu Yan going out frequently recently, and they just told her to be careful when she went out. Xu Yan asked Xu Yi to pick her up and followed the navigation to Wenting Hotel.

Since today was a unilateral auction held by the Wenting Hotel, and it was said that the top management was very concerned about this auction and invited all the well-known figures in the Magic City, Xu Yan entered the hotel. There were six bodyguards guarding the VIP channel in the lobby, and a person in charge was checking the invitation letters of the visitors.

Xu Yan stepped over, took out the invitation from her bag and handed it to the person in charge. The person in charge took a look, bowed slightly to Xu Yan and said, "Please, Miss Xu."

The passage at the back led to the elevator. When the elevator door opened, Xu Yan discovered that there were hotel staff inside.

The staff saw Xu Yan coming in and said to her respectfully, "Hello, ma'am. You need the magnetic card given by the hotel to get to the auction site. So, please give me the magnetic card in your hand. Thank you."

Xu Yan took out the black magnetic card and saw the staff tap the small box under the floor button, and the twelfth floor lit up. Xu Yan remembered that the Wenting Hotel had eleven floors on the surface, but she didn't expect there was a twelfth floor. Xu Yan raised her eyebrows, it was quite fashionable.

"It turns out that what is said in the novel is true."

"Ma'am, what did you say?" The staff heard Xu Yan's voice and thought she was talking to him.

"Oh, nothing. So this magnetic card is the key, right?"

Xu Yan asked the young man, and he said, "Yes, ma'am, the invitation letter is only one of the options. If there is no magnetic card, I will immediately sound the alarm and the security guards will be waiting on the 12th and 1st floors."

"Why did you only arrange it on the 12th and 1st floors? What if someone knocks you out and sends you to other floors?" - Xu Yan asked when he didn't understand.

"It's like this. Once the elevator here is running, it will go directly to the twelfth floor, unless someone breaks a big hole in the elevator and escapes through the elevator tunnel."

Xu Yan nodded in sudden realization, and reached the twelfth floor in a quick question and answer mode.

"Ding, we have arrived at the twelfth floor. Members of the auction, please check your belongings. Thank you!"

"Bye ma'am!"

The staff bowed slightly to Xu Yan. Xu Yan said goodbye and walked out of the elevator. As soon as she came out, there was a floor-to-ceiling window on the right side of the elevator. From here, she could see the scenery of the Bund. Xu Yan walked back and a big door came into view. The staff at the door helped Xu Yan open the door.

There was a tunnel on each side, and Xu Yan walked to the left. Soon, an open space appeared, with seats arranged in a circle, gradually getting higher, a bit like the seating arrangement in a movie theater. There were twelve seats in a row, and five in a column, which meant that at least seventy people were going to arrive, and there were already more than a dozen people here. Seeing Xu Yan, a little girl came in and started whispering.

"I've never seen this girl before. Whose girl is she?"

"I don't know him either. I've never seen him."

"Could this be some rich man's mistress?"

"I advise you not to talk nonsense. This girl should have come here alone. This little girl must have been invited here by Wen Ting in a serious manner."

"Could it be a lady from some noble family?"

"I'm not sure about this, but it's definitely not a simple one. Wen Ting invited her to participate in this "Blue and White Porcelain" themed auction at such a young age. I heard that Wen Ting even rejected the second-rate families this time."

In fact, it was more like a normal chat than a whisper. They didn't care whether Xu Yan heard it or not. Xu Yan said it was normal and she had never been in the circle of rich people. They knew Xu Yan and that was why they thought something was fishy.

Xu Yan found a seat at random, sitting at the end, but she didn't have to worry about not being able to see. Xu Yan realized that the seating arrangement here was a bit like the Colosseum in ancient Rome.

As they waited, people came in one after another and filled up the seats. Just as Xu Yan thought, seventy seats were just right. The door on the other side was opened, and a woman in a green cheongsam came to the center.

"Hello, distinguished guests. I am the auctioneer of this auction. You will have three minutes to prepare."

The auctioneer left after he finished speaking. Three minutes later, the auctioneer returned to the scene and stood in the middle, with a table and an auction hammer in front of him. The woman knocked, "The auction has officially begun! Everyone, please look over here. Please allow me to introduce this auction. This auction is hosted by the Wenting Hotel. You cannot leave the venue during the auction. The highest bidder wins. There are a total of twelve auction items in this auction."

The woman paused after she finished speaking, and seeing that they had no objection, she said, "Okay, then the first item of this sale..." As the auctioneer introduced it, the first item slowly rose.

It turned out that there were twelve circular tracks on the ground around the auctioneer, forming a circle, and each one represented one of the auction items. The mechanism whose turn it was would be opened and the auction item would rise up.

"The first item to be auctioned is one of the works of Mr. Fu Liangshen, a modern porcelain master. This porcelain was identified as being made between 1935 and 1942. Although it is one of Master Fu's early works according to the timeline, it still has a high collection value. The starting price is yuan."

After listening to the introduction, some people came with their companions, so they started the discussion.

"Master Fu Liangshen's works are quite expensive now, and hard to find. Although they are early works, they may appreciate in value in the future."

"I think it's okay. Master Fu's works have a very good reputation."

"Since Master Fu passed away, the prices of his works have doubled again."

......

"Number 7 raises the sign to increase the bid. Is there anyone else?" The auctioneer saw the person in seat number 7 raise the sign and looked at the others, and the others also began to increase the bid one after another.

"No. 35 holds up a sign, No. 63 holds up a sign, No. 40 holds up a sign..."

Xu Yan glanced at the number on her desk, No. 61. Xu Yan thought, since she was here too, why not have some fun? Just as she was about to raise her sign, she heard the system's voice.

[It is detected that the host is participating in an auction, and the host is rewarded with 1 billion in cash. Please check it carefully! ]

"Host, I'd like to see the one behind it. If you really auction this one off, I don't know where to put it."

Xu Yan felt that what the system said made sense, and she put down the hand that had picked up the sign. In the end, the porcelain was successfully auctioned on the 24th at a price of .

"The second piece is a silver bracelet. This bracelet is the work of Master Zuo Shangyu in the late Jiannu period (that is, the Qing Dynasty). Everyone knows that Master Zuo is a master of bracelet casting. This bracelet is a silver-patterned bracelet made by Master Zuo around 1874. Although this bracelet was more common among dignitaries at that time, it also has important collection value. The starting price is 120 million!"

"122 million, 124 million, 130 million, you want million, right? Do you want to raise the price?"

Xu Yan also held up a sign.

"135 million, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

After Xu Yan finished bidding, she realized that no one else was bidding anymore. The auctioneer looked around and saw that no one was bidding anymore. "One million, three hundred and fifty thousand per bid..."

Just as I finished speaking, I saw someone holding up a sign again.

"Number 19, number 19, raise your sign, 137 million! Anyone else bidding?"

With the auctioneer's closing remarks, the bracelet was finally sold for 137 million.

The auction items came out one after another, and Xu Yan joined in the fun, raising her placard every time. But when it came to the second to last item, Xu Yan couldn't sit still any longer.

"The eleventh auction item is a jade bracelet and a jade necklace. Our starting price is 2400 million yuan."

As soon as the words were spoken, the bidding began. The ladies in particular liked it very much. Xu Yan thought it would be a good choice to give it to her mother.

"No. 61 bids 3500 million. Is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"

"3700 million, No. 61 raised the price again. How much? 4000 million. Wow, another 61 million. No. will make a big splash if he doesn't make a move."

When the others heard this, they also looked at Xu Yan. When the people who had discussed Xu Yan before saw this little girl, they couldn't help but talk about her privately. In the end, Xu Yan argued with No. 41 for a long time and finally won with 4500 million.

“It’s a bit expensive, but it doesn’t matter.”

[It is detected that the host has spent 4500 million yuan. The host will be reimbursed and rewarded 4500 million yuan unconditionally. Please check it! ]

"As expected of you!"

The auction, which lasted nearly two and a half hours, ended when the last ruby ​​was sold for 9000 million. Wenting Hotel sent a text message to Xu Yan after she won the jadeite, saying that the auction item would be packaged and delivered by staff.

Xu Yan left the hotel. When she left, the hotel gave small gifts to everyone, beauty devices for the girls and ties for the boys.

Xu Yan said that she wanted to come again next time.
