After the women left, Su Jinchen took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it with a lighter. He took a few puffs, stubbed out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can next to him. Then he got into the stairwell next to him and strode across the stairs.
He rushed downstairs to the hotel.
Ten minutes later, everyone gathered in the hotel lobby.
Behind Xu Tian, in addition to Bai Lu and Su Jinchen, there are also Yun Shuying, Astrology Girl and others. These five women attract much attention no matter where they are, and they immediately make other Tang family secret guards look stupid.
Blinded.
After Jiang Yan brought the Tang Group's expert team to the lobby, he immediately noticed Yun Shuying and others. He frowned slightly, looking displeased, and he was actually a little happy in his heart.
Xu Tian, this pretty boy, is really capable of causing trouble. Once he is out of Tang Bingyan's control, he becomes lawless.
They came to Pawa to participate in the antique auction, and Xu Tian actually found five women to accompany them. If this matter came to Tang Bingyan's ears, the boy would definitely not be able to take advantage of it.
Of course, no matter how much he despises Xu Tian in his heart, he still has to go through the process on the surface.
"Mr. Xu, the auction we are participating in this time is private, so the rules are somewhat different from those of public auctions. Mr. Gu had already greeted the organizer a month ago and reached an agreement that allows us to
The set of blue and white porcelain we are interested in is not up for auction. It is a private transaction and the auction will be in the afternoon. We must go there before it starts."
This kind of private auction is usually organized by a certain antique dealer, who then works with some small sellers who are unable to hold a private auction alone to determine the catalog of items, and then looks for buyers willing to participate in the auction.
Of course, because some of the auction items are not visible to the public, these invited buyers are basically regular customers or acquaintances who are familiar with the dealer.
Of course, some buyers will choose to reach a deal with the seller privately after seeing the catalog, which not only avoids the risk of the lot being bid by others, but also saves some cumbersome handling fees.
However, in an auction, only the items provided by the organizer can be traded privately. As for the small sellers who send the items to the auction, they can only follow the formal procedures honestly and let the antiques they bring be sold.
shoot.
It happened that the Tang family's target this time was the seller of the Song Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase, who was the organizer of this private auction. Gu Beicheng had also dealt with this person before, so he had discussed with him a month in advance to arrange this private auction in advance.
trade.
Although Jiang Yan was reporting the itinerary to Xu Tian on the surface, he actually did not take Xu Tian's thoughts and plans into consideration at all.
"Manager Gu has thought carefully this time. Mr. Xu, you just need to follow us to see the process of antique trading. Mr. Gu is very familiar with the antique circle here in Pawa. He also did a lot before we came here this time.
The preparations and explanations, so you can easily complete the task this time, just treat it as a trip to Pawa."
"That's right, since Manager Gu has already said hello in advance, we just need to go through the formalities. Moreover, Manager Gu also sent an acquaintance from Pava over to appraise it before, saying that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the set of porcelain bottles. Please wait a moment.
Sir, just go and pay directly, you don’t need to worry about anything else.”
On the surface, these people seemed to be thinking about Xu Tian, but in fact they didn't pay attention to him at all. It was as if Xu Tian was just a tool for paying and signing in front of them, and there was no need to consider his opinions at all.
Xu Tian did not get angry, but said calmly: "Since you have all decided, I will go with you to take a look."
Soon the group set off to the largest antique street in Pawa City. Xu Tian originally wanted to take a stroll first, but Jiang Yan stopped him.
"Mr. Xu, there is no need to look at these small shops. They are all fakes. Even if there are genuine ones, it is impossible to display them. If you are not a person in the antique circle, it is easy to buy fakes. Going in is just a waste of time."
Then Jiang Yan took Xu Tian and others straight to the door of a magnificent four-story Chinese-style building in the center of Antique Street.
Xu Tian looked up and saw a square plaque hanging on the main door, with three big characters "Linglong Zhai" written in cursive. The owner of Linglong Zhai, Chen Sanping, was the organizer of the private auction they were going to attend.
Chen Sanping's antique shop in Pawa is very prestigious. In addition to being the owner of Linglongzhai, he is also the vice president of the Antiques Association of Country Y. He also organizes several important public auctions every year.
Of course, in addition to organizing public auctions, Chen Sanping will also hold small-scale private auctions every once in a while. Operators in the entire antique industry can participate. Of course, they also need to pay a part of the handling fee to Chen Sanping.
Therefore, some antique shop owners have obtained antiques with relatively sensitive backgrounds, or are worried that their shops are too small and the antiques cannot be sold at a good price, so they will sign up to participate in Chen Sanping's private auction, which can be said to be the best way to sell their collections.
Plated with a layer of gold.
Although private auctions can also be concluded privately, because of Chen Sanping's power in this generation of antique circles, those small bosses simply don't dare.
Therefore, in every private auction, only Chen Sanping or a few big bosses who are close to him can reach a deal with the buyer privately before the auction begins.
As soon as Xu Tian and his party entered the hall, a young man wearing a Tang suit ran over.
The young boy walked directly in front of Jiang Yan, smiled and said hello: "Mr. Jiang, long time no see, our boss is already waiting for you."
Jiang Yan and Gu Beicheng had been to Linglong Zhai many times before, and the staff at Linglong Zhai naturally recognized them, knew their identities, and treated them with great respect.
However, the young man looked behind Jiang Yan and discovered that the person who came with him this time was not Gu Beicheng, but a young man who was about the same age as Gu Beicheng but had a more outstanding temperament.
A flash of doubt flashed in his eyes, but it was immediately covered up by a smile. The waiters in the store usually know how to watch the words and expressions of customers, and they will never talk too much if they know that they shouldn't talk too much.
"You guys, please wait in the reception area next to me. I'll ask the boss to come down right now."
While the boy ordered other employees in the store to make tea for Jiang Yan, Xu Tian and others, he quickly ran up the stairs to invite Chen Pingsan.
As soon as Xu Tian just sat down, he saw the astrologer girl, the black-haired Loli, and others were very interested in the jade and porcelain bottles placed in the lobby. He raised his eyebrows slightly and asked: "You also like antiques? Do you like any of them?"
Do you want to buy a few pieces and take them back?"
