However, before Lin Feng spoke, a middle-aged man's voice came from a certain box: "Oh, this is really too bad."
The sound spreads throughout the venue through special devices.
Then I heard the middle-aged man say: "Miss Anya, you should know that I really like to collect antiques that are so remote and rare that most people can't recognize them. Moreover, I have always been proud that my collection is unique than others.
.”
The auctioneer Anya bowed respectfully towards the box: "Yes, Your Excellency. The uniqueness of your collection has always been a good talk among the aristocratic circles."
The middle-aged man's voice added: "Besides, you should also know that I like to lead distinguished guests to my collection room and introduce them to collections they have never heard of. I can often get their surprise and appreciation.
.”
"Yes, Your Excellency. Your profound knowledge and unique taste in the collection world are a symbol of your status and have always been talked about by many high-class people."
Anya continued to compliment, and the middle-aged man's voice came again: "But, I still can't imagine that I can buy this... this mysterious item made from that piece of jade, and what use it can be used to take it back."
"This is something unique and unique in the world today."
The middle-aged man said: "Yes, it is indeed unique and unparalleled in the world... But the problem is, I don't know its name. Even if it is a stone bowl and plate used by primitive people, I put it in the collection room
, when introducing it to distinguished guests, you can also have a rhetoric to show off the extraordinary origin of this ancient object.
"But it happened to be something that even the archaeological masters couldn't recognize. Could it be that when the guests asked me what it was... I said, I'm sorry, I can't recognize it either. Maybe it's a piece from
A beautiful stone from ancient times, right?”
There was a burst of good-natured laughter all around.
Auctioneer Anya was a little nervous and said: "However, it is indeed an item from before the 'Lianyunduan' era. Maybe it contains some unknown ancient secrets."
"Oh, come on. Miss Anya, if there is any ancient secret hidden in it, I'm afraid Master Luo Peide and the others would have revealed it long ago, and it won't be our turn, let alone put this thing up for auction. Do you think so?"
The middle-aged man's words made Anya's face turn red.
At this time, an old man's laughter came from another box nearby: "Your Excellency Karus, please don't embarrass Miss Anya. This jade product is not necessarily useless. Even the most powerful one in the empire
It's a mysterious item that even the best archaeological masters can't recognize. This name alone is worth a lot of money. Not to mention it has the autographs of Master Luo Peide and others."
"Yes, Mr. Luen. However, this thing is probably only as valuable as the name and the autographs of Master Luo Peide and others. It itself is of little value. So...if you give me a choice, I will pay for it.
...One thousand...and five gold coins..."
There was a chill all around.
"But, I don't think so. Isn't it that antiques are valuable just because they have a long name? If it were me...well, I would pay two thousand gold coins...Of course, this is the highest price.
, if someone is willing to offer more, I will give up." The voice of the old man named Luan said.
"For Miss Anya's sake, I can offer three thousand gold coins... Well, if I offer more, unless Miss Anya is willing to have a meal with me, my father will scold me as a prodigal son when I get home.
Now." said the young man who had previously said that Lin Feng was a "nouveau riche".
Suddenly there was a burst of laughter from all around.
"Young Master Gu is joking, who doesn't know that you are a famous business wizard? What does a mere three thousand gold coins mean?" Anya responded.
"Miss Anya, you don't know. Although the outside world has given me the title of a business wizard, and I earn and spend my own money, three thousand gold coins is indeed nothing. But if in this situation
I spent too much on something not worth two thousand gold coins. After I go back, my father will say that I made another investment mistake, and I was punished for studying. So, I will pay three thousand gold coins... This is for Anya's sake.
For your sake, miss."
The auctioneer named Anya had a smile on her face: "Then thank you Mr. Gu for your support." Then he raised his voice slightly and said: "Three thousand gold coins, is there anyone else bidding? Three thousand gold coins... Three thousand gold coins is the first time.
…”
Lin Feng hesitated for a moment.
Three thousand gold coins... is equivalent to 300,000 silver coins and 30 million copper coins. It can buy and sell 300,000 catties of meat and more than three million catties of grain...
If the jade Ruyi is really just an ordinary jade Ruyi, then it will be a loss. After all, Lin Feng has no interest in gimmicks that no archaeological master can recognize. What if the bid for this thing affects the subsequent auction?
But that's troublesome.
After pondering for a while, the female auctioneer shouted "Three thousand gold coins for the second time..." several times, and Lin Feng made up his mind and said secretly: "Let's give it a try... The feeling that the jade Ruyi gives me is not ordinary."
!!”
Immediately, he raised his hand: "I will pay you three thousand and one gold coins..."
The people around him suddenly fell silent, and many eyes looked over.
The voice of the man named Mr. Gu came: "Friend, you are very unethical. You only added one gold coin to my price..."
Lin Feng smiled, reached out and lifted up a large bag of gold coins from under the table, and placed it heavily on the table, making a clattering sound.
The people around him were startled for a moment, and then burst into laughter.
"Someone actually brought a whole bag of gold coins to the auction? Hahahaha, it's so funny and interesting..."
"Not bad, not bad. It's really eye-opening... Well, he's not a nouveau riche who came from somewhere, is he? How can he be so tasteless?"
The people around him squeaked, and Zhao Bingyan's pretty face suddenly turned red. Of course, he was not blushing because he was laughed at by these people beside Lin Feng, but he was a little angry: "How can these people be like this?"
What about Lin Feng?!"
However, her expression was hidden under the mask, and only the anger in her heart could be seen in her eyes. Moreover, just when she wanted to speak out, Lin Feng quietly held her down and shook his head: "Don't be the same as them.
"
Zhao Bingyan was stunned for a moment, and then saw Lin Feng laughing loudly: "Young Master Gu, you have misunderstood. You also know that I come from the countryside...well, I am a nouveau riche. Therefore, I need something with foundation and taste.
Things to decorate my study room.
"Look, even the master of archeology can't recognize this thing. If it were placed in my study, wouldn't it be very bluffing? So, I fell in love with this thing at a glance and was very interested in it.
"It's just that country people are used to saving money. Originally, I wanted to offer three thousand gold coins...and one copper..."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing out loud.
Even the auctioneer named Anya couldn't help laughing.
Just listen to Lin Feng continue to say: "However, I feel that this is disrespectful to Mr. Gu, so... I offered three thousand and one gold coins, a total of ninety-nine more copper coins. Haha, I hope you don't want it, Mr. Gu.
Sorry..."
When the people around him heard this, they couldn't help laughing again.
The expression of the young man in the box changed. After thinking about it, he shook his head, sat down, and said calmly: "Since this friend who claims to be from the country has offered three thousand and one gold coins, then Gu has no choice but to give up."
So, Lin Feng successfully took a photo of the jade Ruyi with three thousand and one gold coins.
Zhao Bingyan was a little confused and whispered: "Lin Feng, do you need to embarrass yourself like this?"
Lin Feng shook his head and said with a smile: "Face is worthless... If a high-class person does something unworthy of his status at a banquet, it will be passed around and he will lose face. But if he is a fighting saint...
...Even if you pick your nose at a state banquet and bounce it to the ground, not only will you not be called a disgrace, but you will be praised for your personality. Do you understand this?"
Zhao Bingyan shook his head: "I don't understand."
Lin Feng smiled and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Anyway, we are not showing up with our true colors now, and it is not our own face that we are losing. What are we afraid of? What's more, if necessary, we will just get our face back."
"Get your face back?" Zhao Bingyan was a little confused.
Lin Feng smiled mysteriously and whispered: "When others make fun of you for being poor, if you are really poor, it will be a shame for you. But if you suddenly take out a fortune that is ten times richer than that person's entire net worth,
Wealth. The one who is embarrassed is the one who makes fun of you.
"And if others make fun of you for being a nouveau riche from the countryside, then if you show that you are more knowledgeable than them, they will be the ones to be embarrassed... Just wait and see."
