Chapter 72: Auction(1/2)
Time flies. Ever since what happened to Luo Xi, Lao Wang has been honest for a long time and has not dared to go out and mess around with women.
The winter solstice is here in a blink of an eye, and according to custom, every household should eat dumplings today.
Su Qin originally didn't care about this alone, but Liu Ying and Bai Lei still said they wanted to have a festive atmosphere, so they still wanted to eat.
Unable to resist them, since they wanted to eat, they all joined in the fun. Su Qin called Lao Wang and Ye Kong to come to the tavern.
In the evening, the tavern is closed.
Everyone gathered in front of the dinner table. Dumplings with various fillings were placed on the plates, all made by Bai Lei and Liu Ying themselves. Of course, in addition, there were also hot pots that other people wanted to eat. The weather was getting better and better.
When it's cold, hot pot is undoubtedly the best choice!
All in all, a sumptuous dinner is ready.
"Boss, can you say a few words?" Liu Ying poured Su Qin a drink.
"Ah? How about everyone eating and drinking?"
Everyone cheered in unison, mocking Su Qin for his poor words.
"I don't have anything to say. I don't have big dreams." Su Qin didn't seem to care about everyone's ridicule, scratching his head and saying with a smile.
"Then what do you wish for?"
"Me? Find my parents as soon as possible. I hope the people I care about and care about me are in good health. This is my biggest wish."
"Too tacky!" Lao Wang complained.
"What about Uncle Wang? What are your wishes?" Su Dan glanced at Lao Wang.
"Hehe, me? Of course..."
"Children, don't listen!" Bai Lei stopped Lao Wang's dangerous speech in time, "Don't lead the children astray!"
"Okay! Cheers!" Su Qin raised his cup.
Others also stood up, clinked their glasses together, and drank it all!
Eat eat eat!
Soon, the table full of food was eaten.
The whole table was in a mess, making people shake their heads when they looked at it.
Seeing that something was not going well, Lao Wang was afraid that he would be asked to clean up, so he hurriedly ran away, but was caught by Su Qin.
"Huh? What, you want to run away after eating it?"
"No, no, I'm full. I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes. I'll be back in a while."
Su Qin lowered his voice and said, "Wait for me, I'll go too."
Then he turned back to the room, put the fortune in his pocket, and sneaked away with Lao Wang.
Only others are left to clean up.
After Lao Wang went to a nearby cigarette shop and bought a pack of cigarettes, he didn't worry, but said to Su Qin: "Jin Rui, the person I introduced you to last time, their Jin family will hold a gem appreciation party recently, and there will be another after that."
There are many items being auctioned. It is said that there are not only gems, but also many strange and weird things. Are you interested in participating?"
Su Qin stopped and turned around in surprise: "Why do you ask me to do such a thing?"
"Isn't this flying sword still with me? You don't have the weapon at your disposal anymore, what if something happens? Maybe there will be some rare treasures that you can use this time."
It turned out that Lao Wang had been thinking about Su Qin's flying sword being given to him, and he always felt sorry for it, so he paid special attention to similar information. As soon as this news came out, he immediately came to tell Su Qin.
Su Qin thought for a moment and agreed.
After all, you might as well go and have a look, you might find what you need.
After receiving Su Qin's answer, Lao Wang took out a cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and slowly blew out a smoke ring.
"Then it's settled, I'll pick you up in two days."
"Okay, let's take a walk. I guess they are not fast, otherwise they will be busy when they get back." Su Qin stepped forward and couldn't help but poke his head out of his pocket to attract wealth.
This little guy hasn't seen the outside world since he came out of the stone.
At this moment, when I saw the colorful world outside, my little eyes couldn't see it anymore, and I looked around curiously.
Full of curiosity about all kinds of things.
Lao Wang also noticed the little thing on Su Qin's body, and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to tease him, but Zhao Cai ruthlessly rejected him and made a face at him.
"Oh, this little guy!"
"Su Qin, what kind of species is this fortune seeker?"
"You ask me, who should I ask?"
"Could it be some kind of natural heterogeneity, a particularly powerful one?" Su Qin's eyes widened, wondering if there was something wrong with Lao Wang's thinking?
"Look at a cat the size of a palm, what use can it have?" As if he heard Su Qin belittling it, Zhaocai barked in dissatisfaction and waved his little paw, as if to say that he was actually very strong.
"Uh...it seems like what you said makes sense." Lao Wang saw Zhaocai's aggressive attitude and shook his head.
The two chatted for a while, and after an hour, they went back.
...
...
...
The time came when the Jin family held an appreciation party.
Lao Wang came to pick up Su Qin as promised, and the two drove to the Jin family's location.
The appreciation party was held at a private auction house owned by the Jin family.
What makes Su Qin unique is that he is in the jewelry business, and the entire decoration design is magnificent.
"Young Master Su, Young Master Wang, you are here!" Jin Rui greeted Su Qin and the others at the door early. After all, they were invited in advance.
The two nodded and stood still.
"Today's conference will be a feast for your eyes. You go in first and I have arranged a good box for you." Jin Rui said to the two of them. As the host of the Jin family, he naturally wanted to welcome other family representatives here.
Under the leadership of the servant, the two people quickly arrived at the box where they were.
The appreciation party and the auction were both held in the same place, and Su Qin and the others were in box number 1 on the second floor.
The people on the second floor are all famous and famous families, and the first floor is the lobby, where the media and business representatives are invited to attend.
As for the third floor, there are members of the Jin family and famous connoisseurs in the jewelry industry.
You can see the scene outside through the window in the box, but you can't see the people inside.
Of course, there is no need to worry about being too far away from the auction stage to see clearly. In each box, there is an ultra-clear projection, which is enough for people in the box to clearly see the quality of the goods on the stage.
As people came in one after another, the auction house was soon filled with people.
"Old Wang, I suddenly remembered a question."
"What?"
"Although you are the eldest son of the Wang family, how much money do you have for auction?" Su Qin suddenly remembered that the old Wang had only participated in the management of the family for a short time, so would he not have much power?
"Don't worry, today, all your purchases will be paid for by my prince!" Lao Wang said proudly, patting his chest.
Su Qin was doubtful. There was still some time before the auction, so Su Qin released the fortune and let it move around the room at will.
After everyone at the auction house was almost there, the host appeared in the middle of the stage.
"Welcome everyone to attend our Jin family's appreciation auction. I believe everyone is waiting impatiently. So, let's not talk nonsense and start directly!" The host did not open too much to enhance the atmosphere, but chose to start directly.
"Well, first of all, the first item is a piece of jade of excellent quality." The host waved his hand, and someone in the background put the jade on a plate and took it out.
Of course Su Qin is not interested in these things, nor does he know how to appreciate them.
However, the exclamations coming from the venue showed that this jadeite was indeed good.
Soon, with constant bidding, the jadeite was finally won by a company CEO on the first floor.
The price is 10 million!
Su Qin couldn't help but be speechless, the things that rich people play with are really expensive.
"Congratulations to this gentleman for taking our first item. The next one is the Sphinx made of pure gold."
Another item came out from the backstage, but this item was heavier than the previous one, and it took eight people to lift it out.
Boom! Put it on the ground and the stage seems to shake.
"Then, start bidding!"
"Good guy, why did you buy this thing? It's so heavy." Su Qin couldn't help complaining.
"Ten million!"
"Eleven million!"
As the numbers continued to increase, Su Qin no longer had the interest to continue listening.
To be continued...
