My life has subtitles

Chapter 182 Auction ()

St. Regis Hotel.

Nearly 3000 square meters of conference room.

This huge conference room was previously converted into a preview area by Christie's, which was used to display special antiques from the Ming and Qing Dynasties for four auctions for three days.

The auction officially starts today.

Four games in total.

They are the Ming and Qing calligraphy and painting sessions at 9:30 am,

Special exhibition of Ming and Qing furniture at 13:30 pm.

Special exhibition on Ming and Qing ceramics at 16:00.

Special exhibition of Ming and Qing court artworks at 20:00 in the evening.

On the first day of the preview area, Yang Chen had already visited it, and of course he had used the system to authenticate it. Except for the [late Qing Dynasty yellow satin cassock], the other auction items were all genuine, and there was no possibility of them being missed.

Therefore, Yang Chen only focused on the Ming and Qing palace art exhibition in the evening.

Of course.

This last scene is also the most valuable and important one.

This is the first time Christie's holds an auction in Chunan Xingsha.

Very important.

Therefore, there are many high-quality treasures in the special exhibition of Ming and Qing court works of art.

For example, the starting price is 20 million, an imperial lacquer-gold painted bronze statue of Emperor Guandi from the early Ming Dynasty.

For example, the starting price is 35 million for the Emperor Qianlong's imperial seal. The white jade intersecting dragon button 'Self-improvement' seal is made by the imperial family.

Another example is the [jade-carved handle covered with gold scabbard] dagger used by Emperor Qianlong, which was personally commissioned by Yang Chen and had a starting price of 50 million.

There are also many top-quality antiques.

They are all items from the palaces of the Ming and Qing dynasties. They may not all belong to the royal family, but if they come from that kind of place, they naturally have an extra layer of aura and status symbol.

So the last one is the highlight.

7:30pm.

Hospitality area.

There were a lot of celebrities tonight, and there were many people with high profile and status.

This is a great event in the antiques circle.

It is also a big party for upper-class celebrities.

There are all kinds of expensive food and drinks in the reception area. Mr. Tony, the trendy old man and president of Christie's Asia Pacific, is holding a glass of red wine and is enjoying himself among celebrities from all walks of life.

Yang Chen and Tang Shan also came.

They just came in separately and pretended not to know each other.

It costs 100 million to enter this hospitality area tonight.

It's not that you need 100 million tickets or capital verification, but you have to pay a 100 million deposit and get the license plate and qualifications for the last special auction to be eligible to enter.

This was Tangshan's first time to attend such an upper class gathering.

Act timid.

He can only hide his guilty conscience by showing off expensive food and drinks.

of course.

The food and drinks here are really good too.

Tangshan was very emotional.

The upper class is the upper class. The expensive food and drinks here are priced at outside market prices, and a casual meal will cost at least a few thousand.

And here.

But like the snacks and drinks on the street, they are not worth mentioning.

damn it.

Damn bourgeoisie!
  You must eat well to get your money back. No, it seems that there is no money!

Tangshan stuffed a few pieces of Wagyu beef into his mouth, poured a glass of Lafite red wine, and drank like a cow drinking water. Then he looked at Yang Chen in the distance, grinning like a starving man.

Yang Chen shook his head helplessly.

Quite speechless.

your sister's.

I just finished eating before coming here.

As for it?
  You kid keeps saying that you want to start a business and do something great.

Although this kind of high-end situation is not a circle or level, and there is no need to blend in if you can't blend in, but it is good to observe people, get to know more people, and learn something.

Only food in your eyes?
  The vision of the pattern is still not enough!
  Yang Chen took out his phone and was about to remind him a few words, when some old friends saw him and came over to say hello.

Lin Lao Lin Shugeng.

Huang Ronglin, Guo Xueren, Teacher Tony and so on.

There were many people I knew at the scene.

Mr. Liu and the strange pair of siblings.

The richest man Mu Bang.

There is also Mr. Qi Yuan, an orthodox descendant of the Manchu royal family. Xie Xinran, the daughter of Xie Fusheng, and so on.

Yang Chen also found an acquaintance.

Gao Lingsheng, the legendary senior student of Xingsha University of Technology.

After greeting a group of old acquaintances, Yang Chen walked over to greet those he knew and exchanged a few polite words without holding it.

Only the legendary senior Gao Lingsheng was skipped.

The last time Lin Ruoxi used such despicable means to frame him, it was the legendary senior Gao Lingsheng who had the idea behind it.

Including the medicine in the tea, he also provided it.

That kind of medicine has a very overbearing effect.

Yang Chen used the system to analyze it and found that it was the latest product developed by Emerica, an adult pharmaceutical company.

Not yet on the market.

Still under experimentation.

Specific side effects are unclear.

Gao Lingsheng dared to take this kind of medicine that was still being tested and asked Lin Ruoxi to put it into the tea and drink it for himself. His intentions were so damn vicious!
  Although in the end, he changed the situation and let Lin Ruoxi drink the cup of tea.

He also completely conquered her and took her as a 'slave'.

But for Gao Lingsheng, the so-called legendary senior, Yang Chen only had one idea in his mind

I must come back with revenge!

Being targeted and causing trouble behind his back, Yang Chen was not the kind of person who would suffer the consequences and remain silent.

Damn it, be merciful and merciful.

Be reasonable and unforgiving.

While you are sick, I will kill you.

Downhill.

Anger will be repaid.

This is Yang Chen's code and creed for dealing with enemies.

Oh shit.

Isn't it just that I'm getting closer to Gu Xiaoman, but I'm still passive, and when she comes up, she starts to blame me?
  If you want to play, I will play with you slowly.

Yang Chen saw Gao Lingsheng.

Gao Lingsheng also saw him.

However, seeing that he did not say hello to him, Gao Lingsheng had no expression on his face. He just glanced at him lightly and then went to chat with other guests.

There are many big-shot figures here tonight.

Someone Yang Chen knows.

There are also some I don’t know.

There are those from this province and those from other provinces.

There are also foreign ones.

Yang Chen was holding red wine and wandering around, acting very positive and proactive.

His current identity, status, strength, etc. may not be enough to enter some high-end circles.

But it’s also good to get familiar with each other and get to know more people.

You never know when it will come in handy.

19:50 pm.

Christie's auction house's last major event today: a special auction of palace art will begin tomorrow night.

Guests began to enter one after another.

This is Yang Chen's first time to participate in this kind of auction.

I did my homework before coming here.

Generally speaking, auctions such as antiques, treasures, artworks, etc. are roughly divided into three levels.

One is a boutique high-end auction.

It is a membership and invitation system.

An auction may only allow a dozen or fewer people to attend.

Because those who participate in this auction must have a certain verified worth, and must have the financial resources to prove your ability and strength to be qualified.

The second type is auctions held in major hotels and clubs like Christie's.

Anyone can participate in the auction as long as they can afford the deposit.

The advantage is that it has a large impact.

The disadvantage is that it cannot control the effective visitors.

The last one is outdoors, similar to a vegetable market. There is no starting price, and people can increase the price at will. Some of them are just for fun.

Some are temporary decisions with limited conditions.

For example, Yang Chen once sold jade jade to understand the meaning, and once sold pumpkin teapots.
