Rong Jin took the electronic door plate from Lu Qingqing's hand and nodded to express her gratitude.
When their eyes met, the housekeeper came over, and Lu Qingqing turned around and left.
The housekeeper noticed something strange about his young master and followed his gaze.
I saw a slender figure entering private room No. 5 not far away.
A smile appeared on the butler's lips. Guests who could go to the private room on the second floor must not come from an ordinary family. Could it be that his young master fell in love with that girl?
"Master, that girl seems to be the one who bought the cat just now. I didn't expect you two to be really destined."
Rong Jin looked away and said calmly, "The auction is about to start, let's go in."
Lu Qingqing and Liang Fei entered the private room and saw a girl with a sweet smile inside, who was the staff of the private room.
The people who come here are all wealthy people, and if they are well served, the tips every night are very considerable, so the staff here are not only enthusiastic, but also provide excellent service.
"Boy, what would you like to drink?"
"Two cups of coffee." Lu Qingqing was sitting on the leather sofa in the room. Opposite her, a wall full of high-definition screens was broadcasting the auction live.
"Qingqing, it should start in ten minutes. What do you want to take pictures of?"
Liang Fei took the picture album on the table, flipped through it, and found the pigeon egg diamond ring on the last page.
She actually came today just to watch the excitement. She didn't expect that Lu Qingqing would spend so much money to get a private room. If she didn't take some pictures, she would feel sorry for such an expensive rent.
"Qingqing, look at this diamond ring, the starting reference price is 10 million, tsk tsk..." Liang Fei grinned as she looked at the price, it's too expensive, it's sky-high.
At this time, Lu Qingqing came across a pair of black and white shepherd dogs, mother and son. The mother was 6 years old and the son was 1 year old.
Shepherd dogs are loyal and protective of their owners, are friendly and loyal to their owners, and are especially popular with children.
Seeing Lu Qingqing looking at the pets again, Liang Fei couldn't help but smile, "Your heart is all about your children now. I think these two dogs are good. The younger one can play with your baby, and the older one can also protect you."
You and the child."
Lu Qingqing smiled, she thought so too.
While the two were chatting, the auction started.
The staff put two cups of coffee on the coffee table between the two people. Then he bent down and said politely: "Guests, please use it slowly. The bidding handle is in the drawer. You can directly enter the number and press the bidding button."
If the bid is successful, after the auction ends, I will handle subsequent matters such as payment and mailing of the auction items for you.”
"Okay, thank you." Lu Qingqing gave a tip.
The staff's smiles became even brighter.
"Then I won't disturb you two. I'll be at the door. If you need anything, just call me." The staff member withdrew.
Lu Qingqing picked up the coffee, took a sip, and looked at the big screen where the host of the auction had already appeared.
After a burst of warm-up remarks, the atmosphere gradually became lively.
At this time, the first auction item was taken out.
It is a set of purple clay teapots made by a master in pot art. There are 28 pieces in total. It has high collection value and ornamental value.
Lu Qingqing had seen many purple clay pots in Huo Xun's study. Mrs. Huo said that they were all collected by Huo Xunhua at a high price. She also said that this was his hobby and he loved to show off his purple clay pots to everyone.
After the host introduced this set of purple clay teapots, many people below could not sit still.
The appreciation space of this purple clay teapot is more than 30% every year. Especially since it is handmade by a master in pot art, its value can be imagined.
Lu Qingqing looked at the close-ups of each purple clay pot on the big screen. The shimmering purple clay and the exquisite workmanship. Even though she knew nothing about antiques, she could tell that this was definitely a rare thing in the world.
thing.
Liang Fei was so excited that she stood up.
"Qingqing, this set is so beautiful. I didn't expect that there are such finely crafted things in this world. It must not be cheap, right?"
As soon as Liang Fei finished speaking, the auctioneer announced the starting price for this set of purple clay teapots, which was US$50 million.
Upon hearing this price, all the people who had been eager to hold up their placards just now withered.
Although many wealthy people came today, many people were still daunted by the price.
In Room 1, Rong Jin looked at the purple clay pot and fiddled with the bidding handle in her hand, with no intention of pressing it.
The butler next to him observed his young master's expression and asked, "Young master is not interested in this?"
"What's the point of a bunch of antiques?"
At this time, the price on the big screen had reached 80 million US dollars.
Eighty-one million times.
Eighty-four million times.
Ninety million times.
…
One hundred and thirty million times.
Looking at the rising price, Lu Qingqing put down the controller in frustration. Originally, she wanted to try it to see if she could buy it back for Huo Xun, but it turned out that the price was too high.
"Two hundred million." At this time, the bidding price of two hundred million appeared on the screen.
The auctioneer was shocked by the price.
"Who is this, who paid 200 million?" Liang Fei looked for the person holding the sign on the big screen.
"Stop looking. Anyone who can afford 200 million will definitely not sit down here." Lu Qingqing said.
"You are right, but this person is too wasteful. He only spent 200 million on a few broken pots?" Liang Fei curled her lips and said.
"Two hundred million twice."
"Two hundred million three times."
The auctioneer's hammer made the final decision, "Two hundred million yuan was sold. Congratulations to the gentleman in private room No. 6 for winning this set of auction items."
"No. 6? Isn't it right next door to us?" Liang Fei wanted to go and see who was so wealthy?
Immediately, the second auction item was brought up, and it was the shepherd mother and son that Lu Qingqing was interested in.
Both mother and son looked very docile, and the puppy was sitting quietly next to the mother dog. Although it was only one year old, it was very strong and felt like a vigorous teenager.
Lu Qingqing decided to take a photo of the mother and son.
At this time, the auctioneer announced the auction price of the sheepdog, starting at $10,000.
Logically speaking, this price is very close to the people, and there is no pressure on the rich people present, so the bidders are also very enthusiastic.
Soon the price rose to thirty-eight thousand.
In the private room No. 10, Huo Qianqian was determined to win the pair of shepherd dogs because one of her hobbies was collecting famous dogs.
She heard that the mother and son were purebred German shepherds, and that the mother dog had been toured around the world as a world-famous dog and had won many awards.
"Sister, it's already 40,000 yuan, do you still want to buy it?" Huo Hengyu felt that such two dogs were really not worth 40,000 yuan.
"Of course I want to buy it." After saying that, he pressed the bidding handle.
"Forty-one thousand yuan a time." the auctioneer shouted loudly.
"Forty-two thousand yuan a time." Someone then bid.
Huo Qianqian was so angry that she pressed the handle again.
"Forty-three thousand yuan a time."
But then someone else bid.
"Forty-five thousand yuan a time."
Huo Hengyu held Huo Qianqian down and said, "Sister, you can buy dozens of shepherd dogs with more than 40,000 yuan, so why do you bother?"
