mutual benefit [gl]

The next afternoon, Chen Yuanzhen rang the doorbell of Ji Cixi's room.

In the car, Ji Cixi asked Chen Yuanzhen strangely where he was going, but Chen Yuanzhen kept silent. It was not until the car stopped that Ji Cixi looked up out of the car window that he understood what Chen Yuanzhen was going to do.

This is the scene of a large auction.

"You are..."

Chen Yuanzhen slowly unbuttoned his seat belt, smiled and said in a low voice:

"Let's go and have fun. Everything seems to be elegant when it comes to art these days... Let's see what an elegant gambling conference looks like."

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes to look at Ji Cixi, and saw that she was wearing a black suit. Although it was not a famous brand, it looked formal, so she smiled with satisfaction.

"I knew that Teacher Ji would never let me down."

Ji Cixi ignored Chen Yuanzhen's indecency, but turned around and got off the car.

After getting out of the car, she looked around, only to see a lot of people in suits and leather shoes in a hurry, obviously all came to participate in this auction.

Could it be this auction that Chen Yuanzhen was talking about before?

Ji Cixi raised her eyes and looked at the display board at the door. This is an extremely famous auction house, and there are hundreds of large auctions a year all over the world.

Even in City Z, there is already a branch of this auction house.

But what kind of auction is it? Chen Yuanzhen needs to take a [-]-hour flight to a foreign country to participate.

She was thinking about it, when suddenly she felt a light bump on her shoulder, Ji Cixi came back to her senses, and saw Chen Yuanzhen looking at her playfully with his arms folded.

"What are you thinking? Go in." She said and gestured with her eyes.

"Just go in first." Ji Cixi replied.

"That's impossible." Chen Yuanzhen smiled, "I'm not the protagonist who came to participate in this auction."

"You...what do you mean?" Ji Cixi was taken aback.

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you." Chen Yuanzhen suddenly looked innocent, "I am using your identity, Mr. Ji, to register the participating buyers of this auction."

"What did you say?!" Ji Cixi's eyes widened in astonishment, "How could you use my body..."

"How can I use your identity?" The corners of Chen Yuanzhen's mouth curved into a not-so-small arc, "How do you say that..." She looked up at the sky, pretending to be thinking.

"If you have money, you can..."

That expression should be as much as beating up as much as beating up.

Ji Cixi secretly rolled her eyes, and before Chen Yuanzhen could finish speaking, she shook off her and walked forward.

When the two entered the venue, Ji Cixi saw a staff member in a suit at the entrance of the venue, so he had no choice but to go forward to communicate with the other party in English and get the bidding number plate.

After handing over the passport and other information to prove that the visitor was indeed himself, the staff handed Ji Cixi a number plate. He saw Chen Yuanzhen standing behind Ji Cixi, so he asked Ji Cixi who it was.

Before Ji Cixi could answer, Chen Yuanzhen told the other party in English that he was Ji Cixi's secretary.

Ji Cixi turned her eyes to look at Chen Yuanzhen with some contempt, but she didn't expose it.

The staff was a little embarrassed, but he only took a cursory look at Chen Yuanzhen, and he could tell that she was well-dressed, and she didn't seem like someone who could make trouble at the venue.

For such a large-scale auction, ordinary people are not eligible to enter the venue, and they don't want to have other details. After thinking about it, the staff let the two of them enter.

After entering the arena, Chen Yuanzhen smiled at Ji Cixi rather dog-leggedly:

"It's all thanks to you."

Ji Cixi ignored her with a cold face.

This auction is probably a special sale of artworks. Before the auction officially started, the high-definition photos of this auction were scrolling on the big screen. It was a painting by Yi Shuier.

The two found a seat and sat down. Chen Yuanzhen looked at the big screen and said with a smile:

"Artworks have become more and more popular in the past two years."

"Now the world is peaceful." Ji Cixi replied.

Chen Yuanzhen turned to look at her and nodded with a smile.

"Yes, the world is peaceful now."

"So, are you still going to tell me?" Ji Cixi said and looked around, and saw a bunch of foreigners, looking down at the auction manual in his hand.

"It seems that there is no one here who can understand what you and I are talking about. Aren't you going to pour out the medicine in the gourd?"

Chen Yuanzhen smiled and said nothing. After a while, she spoke.

"The aunt in the family was engaged in art before she married the old man."

Ji Cixi raised her eyebrows, waiting for Chen Yuanzhen to continue.

"Since the family got married and she married the old man, her dream of art was forced to shatter into pieces."

Having said that, Chen Yuanzhen paused for a moment, showing a mocking and sympathetic smile.

"Well... Although it is said that even the chicken feathers of a wealthy family must be inlaid with gold and diamonds, but they are just chicken feathers. She probably didn't want to be reconciled, so later the old man opened a private art gallery for her, and put some famous paintings he bought What."

Ji Cixi listened, and seemed to understand Chen Yuanzhen's intention a little bit.

"Chen Yuanshuo is...everything is good, but it's a pity that this person has such a problem."

"what?"

Chen Yuanzhen stretched out his hand and gestured for counting money.

"Good gamble."

"You...you mean gambling?!" Ji Cixi was stunned for a moment. She had seen Chen Yuanshuo's photo in the file provided by Chen Yuanzhen. It is associated with the gambler with blood-red eyes at the gaming table.

"What, is it weird?"

"It's not...he..." Ji Cixi's brain couldn't turn around for a while, "I mean, doesn't your father know about it?"

"I know, of course I know. Otherwise, how do you think that guy Chen Yuanshuo changed from a brutal lunatic to the gentleman he is today?"

Chen Yuanzhen sneered and said, "Back when Chen Yuanshuo gambled across borders and was sued in court, the old man ignored him when he found out, and planned to watch his son sing about love behind bars. If it weren't for his mother crying and begging the old man for three After three days and three nights, I'm afraid he is still in prison. After this time, this guy started to behave with his tail between his legs."

"Then this auction and him..."

"He made another mistake, but this time the aunt probably didn't dare to intercede with the old man again, so she secretly sold three paintings to fill his hole. Anyway, the old man usually doesn't look at the accounts of the art museum."

Chen Yuanzhen suddenly smiled while talking, she turned around and looked at Ji Cixi expectantly.

"Guess who bought these three paintings?"

Ji Cixi couldn't help laughing.

"Sit next to me, I'm afraid."

"Bingo!" Chen Yuanzhen made a grimace at Ji Cixi, after she finished speaking, she looked at the big screen in the venue.

"It's just that the three paintings are nearly 800 million...I'm also very heartbroken."

Ji Cixi also looked at the big screen, suddenly, she seemed to realize something, and looked at Chen Yuanzhen.

"Could it be..."

Chen Yuanzhen just looked at the big screen and smiled, without answering.

Ji Cixi, who already understood Chen Yuanzhen's intentions, had deep eyes, she lowered her voice and said:

"Are you sure someone will take over?"

"uncertain."

"Then..." Ji Cixi was a little anxious, but before she could say anything, Chen Yuanzhen interrupted: "Then I will pay the compensation, is that what you want to say?"

She looked at Ji Cixi and asked with a smile.

Ji Cixi didn't say anything, it was her tacit consent.

"Oh my god, Mr. Ji, are you worried about me now?" Chen Yuanzhen said, clutching his chest in surprise.

Ji Cixi helped her forehead helplessly, she really didn't understand how Chen Yuanzhen was able to suddenly become dishonest when he was originally very serious.

"Oh, I'm really flattered," but Chen Yuanzhen's drama addiction seems not to be over yet.

"Teacher Ji, don't worry, even if my more than 1000 million yuan is in vain, I won't become a pauper. No matter how bad it is... No matter how bad it is, I still have you, right." Chen Yuanzhen stretched out his hand and pulled Ji Cixi's sleeve horn.

Ji Cixi shook her arm away in disgust, she frowned and said: "I said, can you...forget it." Halfway through speaking, she sighed and said no more.

"Look at you," Chen Yuanzhen finally restrained himself, "you just can't make jokes."

After she finished speaking, a confident smile appeared on her face.

"In fact, the art market, like the general trading market, is a gamble. And the two elements of the gamble,"

Chen Yuanzhen stretched out two knuckle fingers.

"One is how big you can play at most. The other is how big you dare to play."

Ji Cixi looked at Chen Yuanzhen, and she saw that Chen Yuanzhen's eyes gradually became sharper.

"And since I, Chen Yuanzhen, dare to throw this money to gamble, I can afford to lose."

She pursed her lips and let out a big smile.

"So, you don't have to worry about me."

"I love money." Ji Cixi looked down at the auction manual in his hand.

"cut……"

The two were talking, and the auction finally officially started.

In today's financial world, art seems to have been treated as an asset.

Compared with stocks, gold and other past circulating assets, it seems petty, but if viewed as a reserve property, it is definitely much more useful than leather bags and high-end clothing.

Just thinking about the fact that there are already hedge funds in the art market, Ji Cixi feels that the world is really developing faster than he imagined.

Ji Cixi raised her eyelids and looked at the big screen. She is now bidding for an abstract artwork. This work is from a famous artist, and the starting price alone is already as high as tens of millions.

She remembered that when Chen Yuanzhen told her yesterday that a few million was just a small amount of money, she was still unconvinced. When she came here today, Ji Cixi was convinced.

In the end, the painting was called for a price of nearly [-] million yuan. If the commission paid to the auction house was included, the total price was just over [-] million yuan.

With such a sky-high price, the auctioneer's face was extremely calm when he stretched out his hand and shouted thanks to the winner of the auction.

It seems that this kind of transaction costing hundreds of millions is nothing to this experienced auctioneer.

Ji Cixi sighed, she looked down at the number plate she was holding in her hand, and began to use it as a fan in boredom.

"Aren't you afraid that the person on the stage thinks you're making a bid?" Chen Yuanzhen next to him said with a smile.

Ji Cixi didn't even look at her.

"Anyway, I'm sitting next to you, the Living God of Wealth."

One sentence choked Chen Yuanzhen clearly.
