Super Rich: What to do if the landlord always works part-time?
Chapter 98: Intrigue and Surprises at the Auction
Yue Jun visited every exhibit. Seeing that there was still time, he did not enter the venue early. Instead, he went to the lounge provided for every participant and sat for a while.
The lounge is like a luxury suite.
But the total rest time was only about ten minutes, so Yue Jun and Manager Tang entered the venue. Yue Jun chose a seat a little bit forward in the middle.
Sitting on one side was Manager Tang, and on the other side was an elegant foreign lady and her husband.
Yue Jun had learned the intermediate piano skills provided by Xiaofang Company in the past three years, and also learned etiquette skills before graduation. The temperament she exudes is particularly eye-catching.
Yue Jun nodded to her and her husband and sat down.
The lady next to her looked at the gentle and elegant boy next to her curiously and said, "Hello, what is your name?"
"Hello, my surname is Yue, you can just call me Yue Jun," Yue Jun replied with a smile.
Alice felt like she had seen an angel from China. "You are very handsome, in a different way."
Alice speaks standard Chinese.
"Thank you, your Chinese is very good," Yue Jun praised with a smile.
"Oh, thank you for the compliment, handsome boy. My husband is Chinese. I have been together with my husband for a long time and settled in China." When Alice heard someone praising her, she happily hugged her husband's arm.
The middle-aged man next to her, Wen Bo, lovingly touched his lover who was hugging his arm, which made Alice, who looked old, still look like a girl in love.
"You two are very loving," Yue Jun said to the two of them.
"Thank you, Yue. I think you will definitely become friends with my daughter, but I'm sorry, she didn't come today. She said she had a party to attend." Alice frowned.
"It's okay, you don't have to be sad. There is an old saying in our country that goes, "If we are destined to meet, we will meet each other." Yue Jun's smile soothed Alice's sorrow and made her smile again.
"You're right, the more..." Alice looked at Yue Jun's words and actions, the more she liked them. Today she would redefine China's angels. This should be the etiquette of China.
Just as the two were communicating, the lights on the dark stage came on, and a lady in a black cheongsam, holding a small hammer in her hand, stood upright under the lights in the center of the stage.
"Dear ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, welcome to the first quarter auction of this city held at the Ruili Hotel. There will be 26 items in this auction. I believe that everyone has already appreciated them and has their own exhibits that they want to bid on."
"I am the auctioneer of this auction - Yu'er. Please read the auction rules and participate in the bidding. I declare that this auction officially begins." (The process and auction items are purely fictitious, and the prices are also fictitious [kk fists])
The sound of conversation around them all quieted down the moment Yu'er spoke on the stage, as if they were waiting for the first item to appear.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's start the auction now. This is a rare set of Song Dynasty porcelain bowls. The whole set is perfectly preserved, without any cracks. The starting price of this set is 500 million, and each bid must not be less than 10. Guests who want to bid can raise the number plate in front of you to participate in the bidding. The highest bidder wins. Let's start now."
A complete set of porcelain bowls is indeed particularly attractive to many collectors of old items.
The bidding was very fierce, from the initial 500 million to 1000 million in an instant. After fierce bidding, this complete set of porcelain bowls was finally bought by an old collector for 1500 million.
"Congratulations to guest No. 3." Yu'er hammered three times to decide the final winner of this set of porcelain bowls.
"The second lot is a set of violet jadeite necklaces, which includes a necklace, earrings, and a ring. It is of high ice quality, with large egg-shaped sizes and full thickness. The color is absolutely purple when exposed to light. The starting price is 500 million, and each bid increase is no less than 10."
"1000 million" Before the auctioneer finished introducing the number, Alice, who was sitting next to Yue Jun, couldn't wait to raise the number plate in her husband's hand and doubled the price.
Not surprisingly, Alice got the set of violet jade necklace.
"The third lot is a Chaofeng Linglong Zun from the * Dynasty. This Linglong Zun is naturally rendered with bright colors and is of great collection value..."
"The starting price is 3000 million, and each bid must not be less than 100 million. Bidding begins. Please raise your placard."
This piece is exactly the porcelain vase that Yue Jun had seen in the exhibition hall before. Yue Jun would not take the initiative to buy things he likes.
"Guest No. 58 bid 3100 million. Is there anyone willing to raise the price?" Yu'er smiled and looked in the direction of Yue Jun.
But this was just the beginning. There were many collectors who were interested in this item, and soon signs were raised one after another.
Yue Jun was not raising the signs when they were being raised. Manager Tang was a little confused. “Boss, don’t you want this lot anymore?”
"Don't be in a hurry, let them go out for a while." Yue Jun held the sign in his hand and placed it on his lap.
………………
"Guest No. 118 bid 6000 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
"One million times"
"6..." Yu'er had just uttered the second hint when Yue Jun raised the sign in his hand again.
"Oh, guest No. 58 bid 6100 million. Is there anyone who can bid higher?"
Although Yu'er said this, she also understood that this item was almost reaching its peak.
But surprisingly, someone actually raised a sign.
Yu'er adjusted her expression and said, "Guest No. 78 has offered 6200 million. Will you increase the bid, Guest No. 58?"
Yue Jun raised the sign again.
"Oh, guest No. 58 raised the price by 6300 million. Are there any other guests who want to increase the price?"
The sign behind Yue Jun was raised again.
"Guest No. 78 has raised the price to 6400 million. Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" Yu'er's whole body revealed joy as she spoke. The commission was more than expected.
Yue Jun looked back curiously and saw a familiar person, the eldest brother of Su Yu, Su Fu and Su Ning.
Su Yu also noticed Yue Jun's gaze, and returned a smug look, asking you to help those two brats.
Yue Jun sighed, wondering why these people were always so idle.
Yue Jun raised the sign calmly. He didn't have to take the item, but since the other party had already provoked him, he couldn't help but return the favor.
"Guest No. 58, 6600 million."
"Guest No. 78, 6700 million."
"Guest No. 58, 7000 million."
"Guest No. 78, 7100 million."
After Yu'er shouted this, everyone stared at Yue Jun to see if he would continue to fight for the item.
But after waiting for a while, I didn't see any sign.
Su Yu stared closely at Yue Jun's hand and the number plate in his hand.
Although Yu'er was a little disappointed, she was not particularly disappointed. After all, the commission was higher than she expected, and she was already quite satisfied.
"Ten million times."
"Twice 7100 million."
"7100 million three times. Congratulations to guest No. 78 for winning this lot."
No one applauded after the first two auctions, but for this one, as soon as Yu'er finished congratulating him, people started applauding.
Su Yu looked at Yue Jun with bloodshot eyes. He did not think that the applause was a compliment to him. Was it a way of indirectly congratulating himself, the sucker?
"Boss, it's a pity to waste this collection." Manager Tang silently crossed out one of the numbers he had memorized.
"It doesn't matter, there's always the next one." Yue Jun didn't care too much.
"Yue, you are so awesome." Alice was just looking at the bids from both sides excitedly. Until the price war between the two sides ended, Alice's face turned red with excitement. Is this a battle of money between men?
"Calm down, Alice, Alice." Wen Bo hugged his blushing lover. His lover was always so excited.
There are still many old collectors participating in the next collection, but there is one person missing among these participants, that is Su Yu. It’s not that he can’t afford the money, but he needs to report the money to his grandfather, which is the most difficult thing.
Soon the auction came to an end.
"The last lot is a high-ice-type imperial Guanyin, with a thickness of 6 and a large size. Yu'er should not need to introduce it. Everyone knows how valuable it is to collect. Without further ado, the starting price for this lot is 500 million. Bidding begins."
"800"
"900"
"Get out of the way? Let me give you 1200 million." A chubby customer raised his sign.
Everyone in the audience hesitated. The price of this collection, 1200 million, was already the highest. Even if you put it up for sale, no one might buy it, and if you bought it, you could only keep it for collection.
"Boss, do we still want to bid? This person has already given a very high price." Manager Tang looked at his notebook. He originally expected to get this item within 1200 yuan, but he did not expect that Hengding's price had been given within a few minutes.
The more “sell” the better. He calmly raised the sign. It is estimated that the price has been raised by 300 million.
"Guest No. 58 bids 1500 million. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" Yu'er's pleasant voice rang out in the hall.
The noise from the audience stopped completely, because they all felt that the price of this Guanyin could not be raised any further, otherwise they would lose money.
The fat guest also sat back in his seat in frustration.
"Ten million times."
"Twice 1500 million."
"1500 million three times, we congratulate guest No. 58 for winning the last lot. This auction has come to a successful conclusion. Thank you all for coming and supporting us."
After the auction, Yue Jun went backstage with Mr. Wenbo and Ms. Alice to pay.
As soon as they entered the backstage door, they heard a noisy sound.
"I told you I won't run away. Don't hold me back. I just don't have the funds yet. I'll call now."
Yue Jun raised his eyebrows when he heard the familiar voice. Wasn't this Su Yu who was competing with him just now?
Alice recognized the voice and covered her mouth with her white lace-gloved hands in surprise, "Ah~"
"Then please pay, sir. You kept walking towards the door just now, which forced us to pay attention to see if you were going to run away with the money." The auction staff still blocked the door.
Su Yu's face turned red. He really couldn't come up with so much money right now. He just called his grandfather and just after he said that he had bid for an antique for 7100 million, he was scolded by his grandfather on the other end of the phone and then hung up.
Now I am really being held back by the delivery staff.
"I just don't have the money to pay. How dare you keep me here?"
"Sir, please don't be unreasonable. Before the auction, we will inform you of our rules in advance. If you don't continue to pay, we will not refund the 20 million you just paid. Please think carefully."
"If you have the guts, let someone else pay the remaining 5000 million. I'll consider the million as a gift to him." Su Yu continued to do as he pleased.
Yue Jun stood at the door and heard this, feeling like a pie had fallen on his head. There was such a good thing? If you don't take advantage of it, then it's not, ahem...
Manager Tang couldn't believe that the hopeless collection actually flew right into the sight of his boss.
"I'll pay the rest of the money, okay?" Yue Jun raised his hand and looked at the people who were arguing.
The auction staff really didn't expect anyone to bid 5000 million.
"Yue Jun, don't go too far." When Su Yu saw Yue Jun was going to pay 5000 million, he wanted to rush up and fight with Yue Jun.
"Sir, we have recordings and lawyers. If you pay us more than 5000 million, this collection will be yours." The staff didn't care about that.
"I don't agree." Su Yu roared, telling himself not to even think about giving Yue Jun 2000 million for free.
"Then just pay." Yue Jun smiled and spread his hands towards Su Yu.
"You..." Su Yu wilted when he heard about the money. Without his grandfather's help, there was no way he could come up with the 5000 million in savings.
"Sir, I need to confirm whether you can pay the remaining amount. If not, I will have to redraft the contract and require both you and this gentleman to sign it." The staff did not expect that at such a large auction there would be people who did not bring enough money to bid for the collections.
Time passed by minute by minute. Su Yu looked at the people around him and the security guard who was holding down his arms. He could only choose to lower his head and agree to this solution.
Yue Jun and Su Yu signed the contract that had just been drawn up by the auction lawyer.
Yue Jun did not delay and directly transferred 6600 million to the auction staff.
The staff left immediately after getting the amount they wanted.
Su Yu's arms were also released by the hotel security personnel and he regained his freedom.
Manager Tang happily calculated the amount of consumption today and found that it was much less than what he had estimated for his boss before. This was all thanks to the eldest young master of the Su family in front of him.
Wenbo and Alice were watching this dramatic scene from the sidelines with great interest. Even TV dramas wouldn't dare to film it like this.
Su Yu was aware of what was happening around him, and he lowered his head and tried to rush out the door, but he didn't even look forward and bumped into the wall.
"Boom"
"what!!!!"

Before going to bed, I opened the backstage and saw that a reader named Destinatio gave me 10 reminders and a master certification. Did I click the wrong button? I suddenly can't sleep now, what should I do? How old is the reader? Did I click the wrong button accidentally? If you clicked the wrong button or made a mistake accidentally, please tell me quickly. Is there a refund process on the platform╭(°A°`)╮
