Transmigration of the Famous Cyber Star

Liu Man booked a big box, which was more than enough for six people, and she introduced it to people who didn't know each other.

Knowing Fang Huaiyuan's identity, Zhou Buyi and Wu Qu felt very awkward all of a sudden, especially Wu Qu, he never thought that he would be able to eat at the same table with the president of Capital University in his life. He didn't even expect that Fang Huaiyuan admired his works very much, chatted with him about his Golden House Cangjiao, and praised him for its good writing!

Liu Man's heart was full of twists and turns. Principal Fang usually shows no signs of emotion. It is really rare to see such a smile on his face, and treat a person who has just met for the first time with gentleness and kindness. It is very likely that Principal Fang is thanking Wu He indirectly helped him avenge Su Xuezhen's loss of his work. Principal Fang didn't say a word, his expression didn't show, but he still had his own calculations in his heart. Moreover, the thirty-five-year-old Wu Qu happened to be about the same age as Fang Huaiyuan's only daughter in the United States, and they belonged to the same zodiac sign. It is not surprising that he treats Wu Qu a little bit closer.

On the other side, Yu Zhan asked Liu Man in a low voice what her expected price was, as if he was familiar with the auction process in his words, so Liu Man told him the three numbers he had filled in and asked him, Do you think it's high? Is it tall?

Yu Zhan patted her head with a smile, You should fill it higher.

Su Yi heard the two of them whispering, and asked Liu Man and the other three in a loud voice, What is the expected price of each of your works, tell me.

Liu Man, Zhou Buyi, and Wu Qu were stunned young people with no experience in auctions, so they thought Su Yi was just asking for a price, so they said everything in the tone of reporting their grades to the teacher.

Su Yi glanced at Fang Huaiyuan, and Fang Huaiyuan nodded slightly.

At 1:30 in the afternoon, the auction entered the preparation stage.

Some media have already been in the lobby of the hotel, trying to sneak in as bidders, but were spotted and stopped by the hotel security personnel. However, there are more and more media people, and there is no way for the hotel to stop them. They have to report the specific situation to the leader .

The auction company and the hotel were caught off guard. They seemed to have underestimated Liu Man's influence. This girl is really the focus of the media.

The media didn't want to make trouble, they just wanted to report the news in real time during the auction and find some hot spots. It would be even better if they could broadcast live.

The leaders of the auction company urgently discussed countermeasures. Auctions are usually a rich man's game, and they have always been low-key. Their company will hold an auction for different themes every week. There are artworks, real estate, and jewelry...

Many of the traded items are nearly a hundred times more valuable than the calligraphy works of newcomers to be auctioned today, but no media has ever taken the initiative to ask for interviews. The only thing they make public is to open the buyer registration system on the official website before the auction, and introduce the specific situation of the lot. During the auction, the price changes of the lot on the official website will be updated in real time for those phone buyers to get Know the latest price and place an order.

The current situation surprised them a lot. It was the first time they met a calligrapher like Liu Man who was also a super-popular Internet celebrity.

The leaders quickly came up with a solution. They transferred a total of seven works by Liu Man, Zhou Buyi, and Wu Qu to the end, and bid for the works of others first. During this period, the media were not allowed to enter. In order to avoid unexpected situations, and even more afraid that the media would write the news indiscriminately, they rented a hotel conference room, invited the media to come in, and served them with good tea and snacks.

The authors of other bidding works heard about this incident, and felt very uncomfortable. Isn't it obvious that their works are not valued? ! If they are suppressed by Liu Man's public opinion, won't it affect the value of their works? This is what makes everyone unhappy, but they are all literati and poets, and they are also newcomers, so they can't cause trouble, they can only swallow their anger.

At the parking lot of the hotel gate, one car after another drove up. The people who got out of the car were richly dressed and had exquisite faces. They were the buyers of this auction. Those who participated in this kind of auction, Most of them are small local tyrants, or the middle class, with some spare cash in their hands. They want to use the least money to invest in one or a few potential newcomers, collect their works, and hope that the value of the works will increase in the future, and then sell them for a big profit. A pen is the same as trading in stocks and real estate.

Buyers who can come to the scene must register in advance and pay a small deposit to become a VIP. They have a special VIP electronic ID card with a number on it, which is also the number written on the bidding number plate at that time. A VIP can bring a companion into the arena, for example, Fang Huaiyuan brought Su Yi.

At the appointed time, the auction will officially begin.

The auctioneer in a black suit came to the stage and read to the buyer the rules that everyone must abide by. This is a common practice, just like the invigilator will read the exam rules before each exam.

It includes the two most important parts, one is that for sellers, forgery and fraud are prohibited; the other is for buyers, malicious price hikes are prohibited.

After explaining the rules, the auctioneer said, Now we will show the first work to be auctioned... The auctioneer also introduced the author's background and resume, such as who he studied under, what important awards he has won, etc. Only these newcomers The author describes it very powerfully and has a lot of history, so that local tyrants can pay for his future potential. This is also a game and self-promotion.

The staff pushed a wooden frame with calligraphy and painting onto the stage, and the author himself appeared at the same time as the work. The author first introduced the meaning of his work, the inspiration of the creation background and so on to the buyer.

Then the auctioneer declared to the buyer: Now I am bidding on behalf of the seller. The starting price for this ink painting of flowers and birds is 23,000 yuan. Anyone who responds to the starting price, please raise the number plate in your hand to bid. Please raise the plate higher than Your head. If there are two or more bidders who bid at the same time, I have the right to arbitrarily appoint one of them.

...

Perhaps it was because Liu Man was bidding in the same auction and attracted most of the buyers. There was not a single high price among the newcomers and new works in front of her, and five works were unsold, three of which were because the expected price set by the author was too high. , the price could not go up, so the auction was passed in directly, and the other two pieces were left hastily because no one asked for the price at all, the author himself was very embarrassed. Therefore, if you are not sure, don't auction your own works rashly.

After more than two hours, it was finally Liu Man's turn.

The reporters got impatient for a long time, and everyone wasted two hours just for the live broadcast of this rare auction! Yes, the auction company has kindly and generously allowed them to broadcast live the auction process of the works of Liu Man and the three of them.
