"Uh, it's Mr. Xiao. It was mine just now." Wang Jin put on that smiling face again. At this time, the fat on his face followed the movement of his chin, but it looked very greasy.

"Get out of here!" Fourth Master Xiao said.

As his words fell, Wang Jin quickly moved away.

"Thank you sir for your help. At least I forgot to say thank you because I was in such a hurry." Li Zhao said with a slight smile.

"You're welcome. In fact, I didn't help much before. If I had known that you and Manager Liu knew each other, I wouldn't have done anything. By the way, my name is Xiao Nai. I am the fourth in the family, so they all call me

Fourth Master, if you don’t mind, you can call me that too.” Xiao Nai said.

"Okay, Fourth Master. My name is Li Zhao, and this is my brother Wang Ziyi." After introducing himself, Li Zhao introduced Wang Ziyi.

However, when his name was revealed, Li Zhao seemed to feel the fleeting murderous intent in the other person's eyes. When he looked again, Xiao Nai was already smiling again, which made him wonder if he had made a mistake just now.

Already.

"Fourth Master, what's wrong?" Li Zhao said.

"Oh, it's okay. What's your seat number?" Xiao Nai concealed his emotions well and then asked.

"Box No. 2!" Li Zhao said.

"What a coincidence, I'm in box No. 1, right next to you. When there are good things later, don't grab them from me, brother," Xiao Nai said.

"No way, we are actually just here to take a look. We really don't have the ability to take pictures of anything." Li Zhao said.

After they left, the people around them started talking. You must know that although the name Fourth Master is called by everyone in private, not many people can call him that in person. Many people have some status.

status, but do not have the qualifications at all.

After a while, the guests were basically seated and the auction officially began.

Although the name of the IWC Auction is IWC, it is actually impossible to have such a grand event. It is only named so because it bears the name of the IWC Group, and the IWC Group is mainly the property of the Wang family in Beijing, and of course the Li family as well.

Account for a certain share, otherwise Li Ruolin would not be able to arrange for her own people to come in.

The venue of this auction is divided into a general area and a VIP area. The ordinary area is in the form of a general open conference table; while the VIP area is a box on the upper floor. Judging from the actual number of people present, the queue ranges from No. 1 to 18

No. 1, which can be regarded as a time with a relatively large number of people. However, only the boxes No. 1 to 5 are closed, and the rest are open. However, this does not represent the status difference between each other, and some are purely

Likes.

There are a total of twenty items in the auction. In addition to the five items that Li Zhao and Li Ruolan had discussed before, the calligraphy and painting of Wang Ting that was originally planned to be donated was also on the list. This made Li Zhao very surprised.

.

"Ruolin, what's going on? Didn't I agree with Sister Lan not to sell the calligraphy and painting?" Li Zhao sent a WeChat message to Li Ruolin.

Soon, there was a reply on the phone.

"Brother Zhao, something unexpected happened here. Our master found out about this. He really wanted to buy this painting, so he secretly did something and put this item on the list of this auction.

"But don't worry, I already have a countermeasure here." Li Ruolin wrote back.

Hearing this, Li Zhao felt relieved.

At this time, in Li Ruolin's room, someone was reporting the news to her.

"What are you talking about? That Xiao Nai was also present, and he was chatting happily with Li Zhao and the others. How is this possible? Are you sure you saw it correctly?" Li Ruolin said in surprise.

"No, I can see it clearly," the subordinate said.

"It seems that we can only hope that Li Zhao can hold on and Xiao Nai can endure it, otherwise everything will really be over." Li Ruolin prayed in her heart.

Xiao Nai is the fourth son of the Xiao family in Beijing. Although he is only the fourth son, he is very capable, and because of his kindness and righteousness, he has a good reputation in society. But who would be the other way around?

If you really offend him, you will have a set of revenge methods, which will definitely make you regret it.

Therefore, in the Xiao family, his status is not lower than Xiao Wu, the boss of the Xiao family, and he is also a strong contender for the future heir of the Xiao family. The two brothers are opposites, but they have a good relationship with each other.

Of course, he also knows what kind of virtue his brother is, so he sometimes secretly compensates people who have been hurt by his brother. But Li Zhao's incident is of a different nature. If it were placed on others, he might directly

He took care of it for his brother, but after a brief contact, he felt that this person had a good character, and he also liked him, so he wanted to take a look again, and it was not a suitable place to do anything, so he suddenly became confused.

Li Zhao really didn't pay attention before. He also forgot about what Li Zihao said. Now that he calmed down, he suddenly remembered that there was such a person. He couldn't help but secretly thought: "What should have come has come. Is it a blessing or a curse?"

There’s no way to avoid it. But for now, let’s watch the auction with peace of mind.”

When Li Zhao returned his attention to the field, the first lot was already under bidding.

This is a hairpin that was probably worn by people in the court during the Kaicheng period of the Tang Dynasty. Due to its good maintenance, it still looks shiny and translucent even now. However, it is a small item after all, and its value as an appetizer is not too high.

The starting price is 30,000 yuan, the price increase starts from 1,000 yuan, and the current bidding price has reached 130,000 yuan.

"Oh, this is quite interesting. Although we are not able to participate, it is quite exciting to see them bidding like that. I can't help but want to raise my own placard." Wang Ziyi said, but he said

He touched the number plate on the table.

"You should take it easy, just take a look. Don't hold this sign up, otherwise I won't be able to catch it if the deal is made!" Li Zhao said worriedly when he saw Wang Ziyi's eagerness to give it a try.

.

"Brother Zhao, don't worry. I still know this in my heart. But isn't this the first time? I'm just curious and having fun." Wang Ziyi said.

While they were talking, the price of the hairpin increased a lot, and was finally bought by a middle-aged man with a big belly at a price of 168,000.

The second item after that was not bad at all. It was a large blue and white maid and infant play set from the Kangxi period of the Qing Dynasty. The starting price was 180,000 yuan, with an increase of 1,000 yuan. It already exceeded the transaction price of the previous item from the beginning.

"My dear, the price is getting bigger and bigger, and ordinary people like us really can't afford it!" Wang Ziyi said with emotion.

"Of course, this is not for ordinary people like us. You can't enter this circle without a certain amount of wealth." Li Zhaodao.

The bidding for this blue and white porcelain plate was obviously more intense than the first item. After a while, the price exceeded the 300,000 yuan mark. During the whole process, no one bid in the other boxes. Obviously, this item

Still didn't catch their eyes.

If they don't like it, the people in the seats below are very enthusiastic about it, but the price increase is not big, but there is always someone who crosses the barrel when the deal is about to be completed.

"Okay, the bid for No. 38 is 360,000. The first time is 360,000, and the second time is 360,000~" the auctioneer of the hammer auction shouted.

Auctioneers generally use code names to refer to the other party when bidding, which can effectively avoid a lot of trouble and embarrassment.

The No. 38 bidder just now was the middle-aged uncle from before. He was thinking that if he could win the auction twice in a row today, it would be a good fortune. Except for a few people in the box, no one else had the intention to continue to increase the price.

The response should be stable. He was waiting for the final word for the third time.

But at this moment, the auctioneer's voice sounded again, but it was not the voice he wanted.

"Four hundred thousand! No. 5 bids four hundred thousand! Four hundred thousand for the first time, four hundred thousand for the second time~" the auctioneer said.

The middle-aged uncle followed his finger and looked, but it was the location of box number 5. He couldn't help but swallowed. He knew that he couldn't afford to offend people like this, but maybe they were just playing casually.

With this mentality, he raised the sign again.

"Oh, this gentleman bid again, 410,000. The first time, 410,000, 40~...ah, 500,000! The lady directly raised the price to 500,000!" The auctioneer

He said excitedly, as if he had been injected with chicken blood.

The middle-aged uncle glanced at the box over there again, and finally had no choice but to give up.

In fact, bidding also requires skills. Even among the top rich, there is a level difference. When the other party increases the price little by little, you may just like it but don't care much, but you can still compete. But when the other party raises the price in one breath

When the price is increased a lot, this also gives you a proper signal on the other hand. Most people will wisely choose to give up at this time. After all, competing with people who are higher than you is not cost-effective, and it is also easy.

Offend.

"First time for half a million, second time for half a million, third time for half a million, the sale was completed! Congratulations to No. 5." When the auctioneer knocked down the hammer, the lady in the box also smiled with satisfaction.

. She actually didn’t buy this plate because she liked it very much. She just wanted to change her cat’s rice bowl into a better-looking one. If Li Zhao saw her face clearly, he would definitely find that this so-called lady just walked in.

The old lady who complained about him.

"Brother Zhao, I've really learned a lot. The world of rich people is really beyond the understanding of ordinary people. They really don't regard money as money, just like how we feel when we play Monopoly," Wang Zi said.

"Yeah, maybe it's just more exaggerated than what you said about Monopoly." Li Zhao had some dealings with upper-class people, so although he didn't know much, compared to a complete novice like Wang Ziyi,

much better.

At this moment, the auctioneer opened his mouth again and said: "Okay, the first two items are just appetizers, and the treasure next to it is the highlight. The third item to be auctioned is a bronze mirror. The drama appraisal

It should have been carefully crafted by European craftsmen during the ancient Greek period. The carving on the back is of Hercules. Compared with Chinese-style bronze mirrors, this type of Western-style bronze mirror is much rarer. This bronze mirror is

The item being auctioned by the Li Family Trading Company is also the first item in their auction this time. The starting price is 1.8 million, with an increase of 10,000 yuan."

"My dear, this is awesome now. I originally thought the first two were powerful enough, but now it seems they are just a warm-up!" Wang Ziyi sighed.
Chapter completed!
