08 cutscenes

We both nodded.

Immediately, a very soft female voice came from the room.

"Welcome all distinguished guests to Yuehua Mansion to participate in tonight's auction. Our auction has officially begun. Please take a look at the first lot tonight, the Kangxi official kiln blue and white multicolored dragon plate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the central secret room suddenly became dark. Then, a platform slowly rose up, with a blue dragon porcelain plate about thirty centimeters in diameter on it. The platform rose to a height of more than one meter, stopped, and then a

A huge three-dimensional projection appeared in the air, it was the blue and white dragon plate on the stage.

The projection rotated slowly, showing the details of the blue and white dragon plate to the six wealthy people. At the same time, the female voice began to introduce the lot.

"The Kangxi official kiln blue and white multicolored dragon plate was made in the 45th year of the reign of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty. It is a royal regulation and is a secret treasure of the Qing palace. The starting price is 15 million..."

I couldn't help but ask Xiaojun, "Is it worth it?"

Xiaojun smiled knowingly and shook his head.

Chen Guowei also smiled, "Miss Jun is an expert, this is worth about two million at most. It's just a formality, everyone understands..."

I looked at him, smiled playfully, and continued watching the show.

After introducing the lot, the female voice said, "Now, please bid on the distinguished guests who are interested in collecting it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a man from b2 pressed the button.

"Twenty million," the female voice said.

Then, an old man from b3 also pressed the button.

"Thirty million," the female voice said.

"How did this happen?" I asked Chen Guowei.

"There's a button, just choose it," he whispered.

"Oh..." I nodded, "I have learned a lot..."

"Thirty-five million..."

"Thirty-five million times!"

"Twice thirty-five million!"

"Thirty-five million times!"

"Congratulations to this distinguished guest for taking this picture of this Kangxi official kiln blue and white multicolored dragon plate!"

An item worth two million sold for a sky-high price that was more than seventeen times the actual price. On this first lot alone, they made a net profit of thirty-three million.

I subconsciously glanced at Chen Guowei beside me.

Chen Guowei smiled and lowered his voice, "It's just a formality..."

I smiled lightly and continued watching the show.

Soon, the second auction item came up, which was an exquisite ivory Ruyi with many gems inlaid on it.

"Seven Treasures of the Tang Dynasty: Ivory Ruyi", the female voice introduced, "Made in the Second Year of the Dragon Year by Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty, it was a birthday gift presented by Emperor Zhongzong of the Tang Dynasty to his mother Wu Zetian. The starting price is 20 million..."

"This Ruyi is so beautiful," I couldn't help but admire, "It's a pity that it's a fake, otherwise I would have bought it."

Xiaojun almost stopped laughing.

Chen Guowei didn't mind. He smiled at me and lowered his voice, "There's no way. The real thing is a national treasure. It can't be exhibited in ordinary exhibitions, let alone auctioned. It really can't be sold, so it can only be sold as a fake."

"How much is this worth?" I asked.

"This... must be one million anyway," he said.

"Who will buy it? Has it been arranged long ago?" I asked.

"Yes," he pointed at the old man in room b3 on the screen, "he's here to buy it."

I glanced at the old man and nodded.

At this time, someone made a bid.

"Twenty-five million!"

"Thirty-five million!"

"Fifty million!"

"Fifty million times!"

"Twice fifty million!"

"Fifty million three times!"

The old man put down the tea bowl and pressed the button.

"Sixty million!" said the female voice, "Sixty million once! Sixty million twice! Sixty million three times! A deal! Congratulations to this distinguished guest, this Ruyi, the Seven Treasures Ivory from the Tang Dynasty, is yours."

"The price was agreed in advance?" I couldn't help but ask Chen Guowei.

"Yes!" he said, "Except for the flower arrangement, everything else has been agreed upon. The later ones are more expensive."

I looked at him and let out a sigh of relief.

Soon, the third lot came up.

This is a bronze tripod from the Shang Dynasty.

Of course, it is also a fake. Chen Guowei told me that the market price of this thing is only more than 10,000 yuan.

It was this fake that was finally photographed and bought for 90 million.

The fourth lot is a luminous pearl the size of an egg.

This time it's not a fake, it's the real thing.

I subconsciously glanced at Gao Ying on the screen. She took a deep breath and sat upright.

She had made a few bids just now, but they were all absent-minded and she was just cooperating.

But this time it was different, she was ready to really buy it.

I frowned and looked at Chen Guowei.

Chen Guowei was embarrassed for a while and quickly explained to me, "Don't worry, I will take care of it! Miss Gao won't let Miss Gao pay for it!"

"Then how do you end it?" I asked.

"Should we go or leave the scene," he said, "After Miss Gao takes the photo, I will give her the beads, but I won't take the money."

He said and smiled at Xiaojun, "Miss Jun, don't worry too much, I'll give you one too! These beads were originally a pair! It's a family heirloom, it's not good to separate them."

This last sentence is quite meaningful.

Xiaojun blushed and said, "Thank you, Director Chen, I don't want it anymore..."

"This is a little bit of my kindness." Chen Guowei smiled, "Miss Jun, the young master has saved the lives of hundreds of people in our Baishan Bureau. Please accept this little bit of kindness!"

"This..." Xiaojun looked at me.

"That's it!" Chen Guowei said with a smile, "Come, let's watch the auction!"

I smiled at Xiaojun and nodded.

She let out a soft breath, unable to say anything else.

At this time, the rich began to bid.

"Forty million!" "Fifty million!"

"Seventy million!"



Gao Ying selected a number on the system in front of him and pressed the button.

"One hundred and fifty million!"

I looked at Chen Guowei, "You are so cruel to the Gao family!"

"Just going through the motions!" he said quickly.

I didn't want to say too much, so I shook my head helplessly.

Fortunately, I met him today, otherwise Gao Ying would have spent all his money...

Although more than 100 million is nothing to her, but spending it like this makes me feel sorry for her.

"Actually, originally, we also thought about inviting Miss Du to come," Chen Guowei said, "but she is your sister, so we removed her from the list. Don't worry, all your friends will come to us in the future.

In addition to Miss Du, the names of Miss Yang Qianer of the Guo family and Miss Jiang Si of the Jinling Jiang family have also been removed... After this matter is completed, we will also add Miss Gao's name...

…”

Speaking of which, it is enough to give me face.

"Thanks!" I said to him.

He smiled, "Master! I'm seeing you outside!"

I also smiled and turned around to continue looking at the screen.

Gao Ying had already prepared a new price and was just waiting for others to stop him.

"One hundred and fifty million times!"

"Twice a hundred and fifty million!"

The female voice paused, "One hundred and fifty million three times!"

Gao Ying stood up, obviously a little nervous.
