No.1 Puppet Master

The annual auction held by the Marco Chamber of Commerce is about to begin.Rich people from all over the world came here one after another, and City A was crowded with people for a while.

The boss, Marco, is a professional appraiser as well as a collector.When the Marco Chamber of Commerce collects rare treasures from all over the world, it will also bring back some valuable things.

At first, Marco's auction was only held for sharing and exchanging with his friends who had the same collection habit. However, because the treasures at the meeting included all kinds of visions from all over the world, more and more dignitaries came here attracted by the name.Marco, who realized the commercial value, gradually made the auction an annual feast.

Tickets to the Marco Auction are not available to everyone. Those who want to participate must not only spend a lot of money, but also be a resident major customer of the chamber of commerce.

Lan's is undoubtedly one of them.The materials used to make the dolls, especially the gemstones of the eyeballs, are all appraised by people from the Marco Chamber of Commerce. The two parties have long-term cooperation and exchange gifts.As the first daughter of the Lan family, Lan Lan got the admission tickets naturally without any effort.

Lan He finally changed out of his shabby windbreaker and put on Lan's servant uniform.He excitedly waved his whip to drive the carriage. In the carriage behind, Mo Lin was resting with his eyes closed.

No way, Lan Lan should not help him prepare tickets, and he was not going to go with Mo Lin to the auction full of copper smell.

But when he saw the list of auction items that was first presented to Mo Lin, he still had to disarm because of the gorgeous fabric on it.

If he had to use one word to describe his mood, it would be - he searched for it thousands of times in the crowd, but the cloth was in a dimly lit place.

Looking at the starting price under the picture again, he fell silent.

Can't afford it, can't you take a look at it from a distance?

Received Lan He's begging eyes, Mo Lin smiled and said to Lan Lan: "I still need a coachman and someone who can help me make black tea. I think Lan He is good, and he can drive and make tea. on him?"

Lan Lan could only nod her head in agreement.

Sitting in a seat with a great view, the host Marco came to greet them in person.

"Miss Lan Lan, long time no see, you're still so heroic!" Marco had a big white beard and was short and fat, reaching only to Lan Lan's shoulders.On the seemingly friendly and kind face, there is a pair of sharp eyes of a businessman.

"This little gentleman...?" Marco's eyes just fell on the badge on Mo Lin's chest, and he almost jumped up with excitement: I understand!I see! He bowed deeply to Mo Lin: "Mr. Mo Lin!"When we met for the first time, I was Marco, the president of the chamber of commerce. "

"Hi." Mo Lin smiled politely.

"I'm really lucky to see you in my lifetime." Ma Ke rubbed his hands, his old face flushed with excitement: "I don't know if you have any treasures that you like when you come here this time, sir?"

Maureen thought about it for a while: "There must be one."

Marco nodded, and said cautiously: "In fact, this year, apart from the items listed on the list, I also prepared a few treasures for the finale. If you like it, sir, please don't hesitate to sell it. All the items you photographed today , if it is something from our chamber of commerce, no fee will be charged, and no handling fee will be charged for other auction items, it will all be my meeting gift."

What Marco said caused Lan Lan and Lan He to show different expressions.

The former looked familiar and unsurprising; the latter seemed calm on the surface, but his heart was turbulent.

Not only because of Marco's boldness, but Lan He also felt that Marco was a very extraordinary person, and he recognized Mo Lin's identity at a glance.

Leaving aside the fact that Mo Lin's badge can only be identified by members of the Lan family, even when Lan He saw Mo Lin for the first time, he did not equate the little boy with the name in the Lan family history.

As a professional appraiser, Marco lives up to his name.

The enthusiastic President Ma Ke chatted with Mo Lin, and left reluctantly until the venue fell into darkness and the master of ceremonies appeared on the stage.

Like all auctions, after a formal opening speech, the master of ceremonies introduced the treasures brought up, and the guests bid for the auction one after another, and the highest bidder won.

Lan He had little interest in things other than fabric, so he stood behind Mo Lin and poured tea for him.Mo Lin looked at the venue while drinking tea with satisfaction.

Finally, the cloth that Lan He was thinking about was lifted up.

It might be a bit of an exaggeration to say "carried", because there were only a few rolls of the fabric, and they were packed in a brown wooden box.From a distance, it seems to be integrated with the color of the wooden box, but when you look closely, you can see that apart from the dark brown texture, there are dots of golden embellishments on the dark red cloth.

"The next product is the 'Dark Pattern Inlaid Gold Cloth' found by the Aiwen family. Presumably, guests who know something about clothing have already heard its name. This kind of cloth is the raw material that every connoisseur dreams of, and it is very precious. There is no need to explain further, let's go directly to the topic..."

"50." Before the master of ceremonies finished speaking, Mo Lin raised his sign and said.

His young voice echoed in the silent hall, attracting everyone's attention with a high profile.

"Lord Mo Lin?" Lan Lan looked at him suspiciously.

Of course it wasn't just Lan Lan. Lan He behind Mo Lin shook his hand and almost threw the teapot lid away. He looked at Mo Lin blankly.

Except for the exhibition stand in the middle, the venue was pitch black, and bidders had to hold up their fluorescent number plates to participate.

For example, the position that Mo Lin is sitting now is the special seat enjoyed by the Lan family in the past dynasties.

"Lan's 50 first time!" said the master of ceremonies.

"the second time!"

"80." A voice said as another number plate was displayed.

"100 million." Morin raised his sign again.

"11." Others quickly followed suit.

Lan He listened to the astronomical figures, and his mind wandered into space.

He felt that since he could blurt it out so easily, these numbers were no longer equivalent to money, but just a simple number.He never dared to imagine that he could have so much money, even when he decided to be the head of the Lan family.

And... why on earth did Morin bid for the fabric?

Leaving aside the fact that he doesn't touch the water with his fingers, would Mo Lin be interested in such things?

He told Marco that the baby he liked was this one?

Could it be that Maureen bought it for him?It seems that there is no such clause in the agreement, and he didn't show that he really wanted it, right?He only said that he also wanted to go to the auction to learn more.

How did Maureen see it?

Among the quotations one after another, the others were defeated by Lan's financial resources.After all, it is too worthless to spend money and lose one's fortune for a piece of fabric.

"Lord Mo Lin, please ask Lan Lan to pay for this piece of fabric."

Before Mo Lin could answer, Lan Lan made a gesture.The servant who had been standing behind understood and left the scene immediately, and took back the fabric that was still on the booth just after a while.

Everything is logical and smooth.

Lan Lan and her staff, even President Marco, acted out the script meticulously like they had been assigned roles.

"Thank you so much." Mo Lin accepted the gift generously and asked Lan He to hold it for him.

"Lord Mo Lin, you are being polite. Please don't take it to heart if your subordinates offended you before." Lan Lan mentioned the matter of the scarred gunman.

"We're even on this matter, so don't worry about it." Mo Lin replied.

Lan He, who didn't listen to their conversation at all, was holding the dark weave cloth in disbelief.

You must know that the treasure in your hand a second ago was still out of reach under the eyes of everyone.This second has been held in his hands, like a dream.

"The reality is terrible, I want to smoke a cigarette to calm down." Lan He couldn't help thinking.

The atmosphere of the auction was hot, and all the treasures on the list had found their owners under the non-stop buying enthusiasm of the guests.In order to prevent some people from returning empty-handed, President Marco personally announced the new tricks for this year.

"This year's auction is not over yet. I have prepared three finale treasures for everyone, each with a starting price of 100 million! Oh, don't be amazed, because they are worthy of this price!"

Lan He looked like he had completed the task, and turned on the viewing mode.

The first thing to be carried up was a piece of gold armor, which was said to be invulnerable to swords and guns.To show the truth of what he said, Marco performed some fencing on the spot, and the armor really didn't move at all.The item was snapped up by a family of knights for 3000 million.

The next commodity is a living creature.A canary was jumping up and down in the ingenious iron cage. Its coat color was bright, emitting golden light in the dark venue.After feeding it, Ma Ke raised his head and sang a heavenly sound, shocking everyone.The 2000 million yuan of this bird was won by a royal family who likes to collect rare birds and animals.

Finally, President Marco took out a jewelry box and asked people to extinguish all the lights at the scene.A faint blue light emanates from the center of the display stand, both real and illusory, just like the color of sea water kissing the waves under the sun, everyone is attracted.

"This ring is called 'Aquamarine Diamond'..." Just as Mark finished introducing the name, someone bid on it.

"1000 million." And this person was Lan Lan.

Her 1000 million did not shock the audience, and the quotations kept coming and going.However, Lan Lan was not to be outdone, and finally successfully bid for this beautiful ring at a price of 8000 million.

The staff presented her with the spoils, the most gorgeous blue gems of the night, shining in the dark.

Lan Lan took the jewelry box and knelt down on one knee towards Mo Lin: "My lord, this is my gift for you today. It is not for other things, but for the competition of the head of the family. I hope you can help me."

Mo Lin didn't accept her overtures, and asked: "You are very straightforward, I don't hate this kind of approach. It's just that I have my own opinion on the matter of the Patriarch, how can you be sure that I will accept 100% of your other plans?" What about presents? Besides, I don’t necessarily like them.”

"This..." I have been used to being flattered since I was a child, but in fact I am not good at flattery, so Lan Lan was at a loss for words.

"Miss Lan Lan, you still need to learn a lot from your elder brother, Mr. Lan Qingzhi." Mo Lin smiled, declined Lan Lan politely, and called Lan He to follow.

They left the auction venue, leaving Lan Lan alone in regret.
