Chapter 23: Raising the Bar
Li Muwan was extremely surprised.
Why is Chu Chen here, impossible, shouldn't he be lying in the hospital?
Last time, Liu Shunfeng let Chu Chen go?
Or is it that Liu Shunfeng from Jiangzhou is just scaring them, and in fact he will only play a superficial prestige?
However, none of this is important, what makes Li Muwan unacceptable is why Chu Chen appeared on this occasion.
"Why are you here?" Li Muwan said unacceptably.
"Why can't I be here?" Hearing Li Muwan's question, Chu Chen immediately felt funny and asked rhetorically.
However, Chu Chen's words made Li Muwan unable to figure it out.
The antique reception in Nancheng, this is the two places that his father spent a lot of effort to get for her, although it is only the first floor, but even some big entrepreneurs in Binhai City are not necessarily qualified to enter and exit this.
This is the symbol of power.
Only those who can really put themselves on the table in Marina City can have this symbol.
"Mu Wan, wait for me. Just when Li Muwan was shocked, Li Muwan's best friend Su Yan also came over.
Today, she also followed Li Muwan to attend the antique cocktail party.
Because she saw the down-and-out Chu Chen on the side of the road last time, Su Yan also has some memories of Chu Chen.
"You're doing it here...... Receptionist?security guard?or cleaner?" Thinking about it, Li Muwan could only have this explanation in her heart.
Because only in this way is it reasonable, and it can explain why Chu Chen can enter and exit such a real high-end place!
"Huh. Chu Chen smiled and didn't explain anything.
But Li Muwan's imagination is really rich, how could he not know it.
At this moment.
Chu Chen's smile made Li Muwan more and more incomprehensible, originally she thought that she already knew this man very well, who would have thought ......
At this moment, a waiter next to him came over to greet the two.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction will start soon, please take a seat as soon as possible. The waiter said respectfully.
"Wait, isn't he your staff here?" Li Muwan said in surprise, raising her hand to Chu Chen as she spoke.
"Our staff all wear standard uniforms. The waiter explained.
Yes, you should wear a uniform, Li Muwan also didn't turn her head, and now Chu Chen is just wearing an ordinary shirt and jeans.
Probably sensing Li Muwan's intentions, the waiter took the initiative to explain for Chu Chen:
"This young lady, please rest assured, we won't have any idle people here, and this Mr. Chu should also be a distinguished guest. ”
Guest?
This word echoed in Li Muwan's ears for a long time, and she wondered if there was something wrong with her ears.
However, Chu Chen didn't say anything more, since the auction was about to start, he didn't have time to continue to entangle with Li Muwan.
However, Li Muwan's best friend Su Yan looked at Chu Chen with a playful look.
"Li Muwan's ex-boyfriend doesn't seem to be simple, this little still wants to lie to me, saying that he is just an ordinary person. Su Yan thought, a pair of translucent black beautiful eyes kept turning, looking at Li Muwan on the side.
......
Back in the private room on the second floor, the auction is about to begin.
"Master Chu, I estimated the price, and the few things you value should be easy to take. Zhang Zhonghan said, and ordered someone to pull the curtain down.
Chu Chen looked at the window curiously, this is a specially made curtain, from which you can unilaterally see the movement of the auction below, and only the guests on the second floor have this treatment.
Chu Chen thought about it, probably for the privacy of these big people.
After all, it's an auction, and the real big guys don't want to fight face-to-face.
It seems that the owner of this antique shop is also quite scheming.
Sitting on a hundred-year-old peach wood chair, Chu Chen looked like he was recuperating with his eyes closed.
After all, the things in the early stage of this auction are not worth his attention, and the real bottom of the box is generally in the second half.
"It's a good thing, it's the blue and white porcelain baked in the official kiln of Jingdezhen during the Qianlong period!" Zhang Zhonghan was very concerned, and he was interested in antiques, so he watched every collection with relish.
In Zhang Zhonghan's exclamation, Chu Chen slowly opened his eyes.
As the auction progressed, something good was gradually coming up.
And the blue and white porcelain in Zhang Zhonghan's mouth was also bought by the CEO of a chemical industry in Jiangzhou at a price of five million.
"It's here, that double-flowered golden fish jade pendant. Chu Chen stared at the Dao on the auction table below, and Zhang Zhonghan's attention was also attracted.
On the delicate jade pendant, the two brocade fish are lifelike and vivid.
However, what age it is, Zhang Zhonghan can't see much at once.
"Five million!" However, what Zhang Zhonghan cared about was not the age, but whether Chu Chen liked this thing.
As long as Chu Chen wants it, it is enough.
Decisively picked up the remote control in his hand, Zhang Zhonghan entered the price, different from those on the first floor who directly raised the card, the second floor even the way of bidding was different, but entered by remote control, and the price would appear directly on the big screen at the front of the auction.
"That's interesting. Chu Chen smiled when he saw this, he didn't think that there was such a privilege on the second floor.
If you think about it carefully, as long as the price appears on that screen, it directly symbolizes that the second floor is about to start competing, and most of the people downstairs will be interested.
Chu Chen became interested in this antique shop.
Sure enough, with Zhang Zhonghan offering the price, the first floor was also in an uproar.
"The position, it seems to be ......"
"Don't think about it, I looked at it twice before closing the window, it was the Zhang family. ”
"My God, forget it, I can't afford it, since it's something that the Zhang family has a fancy, then I don't want it!"
Sure enough, as Zhang Zhonghan offered the price, the coastal bigwigs who were originally determined to win chose to give up.
said that they are big guys, they are just a group of people who have worked hard in Binhai for twenty or thirty years and have a little family background, and the gap between them and the real Binhai giants is not a little bit and a half.
Wealthy families need years of precipitation, and these people are also self-aware, and they also know that they are at best a group of relatively high-level nouveau riche.
Fortunately today, only Zhang Zhonghan came alone, and I don't know what happened, I didn't see the Lin family.
Recently, it is rare to see the Lin family going out in public.
But fortunately, if Zhang Lin's two families are in this antique fair, I'm afraid there will be no good things for them to find.
"Master Chu, you are satisfied now. Zhang Zhonghan smiled at Chu Chen, trying his best to please him.
"Yes. Chu Chen nodded slightly, the texture of that jade pendant was good, and it was somewhat similar to a low-level cultivation material in his impression.
If you go back and make a good transformation, maybe it will become a talisman.
Of course, Chu Chen didn't need this kind of talisman weapon, when he was in the middle stage of Qi Condensation, he would be able to grab bullets with his bare hands, let alone now that he had reached the late stage of Qi Condensation.
Therefore, the ritual artifact he was going to make was intended to be given as a gift.
A welcome gift for my sister.
It's a coming-of-age ceremony.
When she left, Chu Yanxue was fifteen years old, and now that four years have passed, Chu Yanxue should also be an adult, not much younger than Zhang Ke.
I don't know what my sister looks like now, is she a little taller.
Thinking of that face that had been missing for four hundred years, Chu Chen's cold face couldn't help but soften a lot, and a faint smile appeared on his mouth.
However, at this moment, the numbers on the original big screen changed.
"Six million!"
Bright red numbers appeared on the screen, offsetting Zhang Zhonghan's offer of six million.
The moment they saw this number, the coastal bigwigs on the first floor were also taken aback.
"This, who is this?!" Zhang Zhonghan was stunned for a moment, and soon became angry, he thought that he could easily take down something, but there were still people who dared to rob him.
However, since it is an auction, it is the one with the highest price, and Zhang Zhonghan will endure the displeasure in his heart and re-enter a number.
"Eight million!"
In this way, no one should rob him, Zhang Zhonghan also glanced at Chu Chen, and his calm expression did not seem to be affected at all.
"Nine hundred!"
Once again, the numbers have changed.
"This ......" Zhang Zhonghan was also completely stunned.
And Chu Chen stared at the big screen.
"Master Chu, ...... now," Zhang Zhonghan thought for a while and said, "Otherwise, I will shoot this thing and give it to you as a gift when the time comes." ”
Zhang Zhonghan's current auction fund is 100 million yuan that Chu Chen got from Liu Shunfeng, and Chu Chen specifically asked to spend this money, and Zhang Zhonghan was not allowed to use the money to buy things for him.
So every one is planned, after all, there are several things to buy.
But now he is in trouble, and someone dares to interfere with his Zhang family in Binhai.
immediately offered to buy it and give it to Chu Chen.
After Chu Chen heard Zhang Zhonghan's words, he shook his head, it's just a jade pendant, find better materials in the future and then refine a magic weapon for Chu Yanxue.
"Don't worry, there's what I want later. Chu Chen said with an indifferent expression.
"Well, everything depends on Mr. Chu's intentions. Zhang Zhonghan also shook his head helplessly.
When the time came, Zhang Zhonghan did not continue to increase the price, and was regarded as giving up by the auctioneer.
Seeing this, the people on the first floor immediately looked at each other.
They looked at a few windows on the second floor, constantly speculating about who had the courage to fight with the Zhang family on the territory of Binhai City.
How daring!
"Nine million, that's a lot of money. On the seat, Li Muwan sighed again and again, sure enough, it is a real big hand in Binhai City, and a jade pendant worn is actually worth millions, even their Li family may not be willing to spend so much money on this kind of thing.
"Ouch, Mu Wan, I can be regarded as following you over today to have a long experience. Li Muwan's best friend Su Yan was also amazed.
They can be regarded as the rich second generation in the eyes of ordinary people, and they all go out with luxury cars of one or two million, but I didn't expect that compared with these real wealthy families, they are simply not worth mentioning!
You can spend so much with just one thing you wear.
"You say, will it be the son of a big family who will come to play here on the coast. Su Yan said nymphomaniac.
"Look at your beauty. Li Muwan pinched Su Yan's waist and laughed.
After the commotion had subsided, the auction proceeded.
