Chapter 79 Overture to the Auction (Fifth Watch)

When Zheng Jiaxuan received the invitation letter for this charity auction, because Xiao Enliang, an expert in antique calligraphy and painting, was by his side, he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't contact the influential masters and experts in the circle in advance .

After careful inquiry, I found out that apart from Wang Wanzi, there were many "interesting" people participating in the auction.

Like Ding Chubo, like Cong Yang, like Song Fan...

The foundation organization that initiated and hosted the charity auction sent a brief VCR to Zheng Jiaxuan.

The entire auction process was simulated on the video, and it was indeed quite different from ordinary charity auctions.

After watching it, Zheng Jiaxuan secretly said: "It's quite exciting."

Since Xiao Enliang has not been discharged from the hospital, everything can only depend on Wu Tong.

On the way to the Convention and Exhibition Center, Zheng Jiaxuan comforted: "Don't feel pressured, at worst, spend hundreds of millions to play with them. If you miss it, it's a good thing to spend money on charity. If the price is high, just treat it as It's a gift from me, anyway, you like these calligraphy and paintings."

After watching the process video and the list of participants, Wu Tong knew that this was not a matter of money, but a matter of face.

In any case, she couldn't let Zheng Jiaxuan lose face in this auction.

When he saw Cong Yang's name on the list, Wu Tong was still lost for a moment.

In order to recharge their batteries, Zheng Jiaxuan did not drive the car himself, but asked Pan Long to be their driver.

Zheng Jiaxuan was dressed in a white shirt and a classic gray suit, looking personable, calm and capable.The lower body gave up the unchanging suit pants and matched it with a pair of wide-leg casual pants, which looked fashionable and unruly.

Her gestures were full of hormones, and as soon as she appeared outside the auction site, she attracted a lot of attention and screamed from the onlookers.

When Wu Tong and Zheng Jiaxuan entered the venue, it was almost crowded.

"My God!" Yang Huili pulled Wu Tong's sleeve and whispered, "Why am I so nervous?!"

Wu Tong said calmly, "I'm nervous too."

After Zheng Jiaxuan heard it, he held Wu Tong's cold little hand in his big palm.

Although he didn't say a word of comfort, it made Wu Tong feel at ease instantly.

In this clenched hand, Wu Tong gained great strength.

"Even you are nervous?!" This made Yang Huili very surprised. Tong Meier's psychological quality has always been excellent, but she is also nervous? !What is the scene today, what is the situation...

In order to downplay his sense of existence, Wu Tong only picked out a plain and simple suit, and Yang Huili, who was wearing a goose yellow dress, was more eye-catching than her.

Yang Huili sat in the seat and noticed Ding Chubo at a glance. Compared with Zheng Jiaxuan's formal attire, Ding Shuai was much more casual, wearing slacks and a black jacket.

It seemed that he was a little impatient, as if he was forced to come to this auction.

But even so, it is still difficult to hide his domineering and powerful aura. It is said that beauty is not in the skin, and it seems that the handsome man is also.

While admiring the handsome man intoxicatedly, suddenly an obtrusive figure blocked Yang Huili's sight.

It looks a bit familiar, but if you take a closer look, it's not Wang Wanzi!
Yang Huili asked Wu Tong: "What is she doing here?"

Wu Tong twitched the corner of his mouth, "Who knows!"

Looking at her posture, she looks like she is preparing for a catwalk. Her breasts and back are a bit exaggerated, which is really not suitable for today's scene.

Wu Tong shook his head, this child is really going further and further on the crooked road.

God has bestowed such a beautiful face, and people are considered smart, so why did they make themselves worse and worse!
Wang Wanzi walked past Ding Chubo, looking for Cong Yang.

They know each other?Wu Tong narrowed his eyes and stared at the actions of the two of them.

Zheng Jiaxuan turned to look at Wu Tong, and said, "Don't worry, they don't know each other, probably Wang Wanzi wants to get to know Cong Yang."

Wu Tong laughed and said, "Even if they know each other, why should I worry about it?"

Zheng Jiaxuan smiled and said nothing.

"You don't think I like Cong Yang, do you?" Wu Tong whispered into Zheng Jiaxuan's ear, "Are you jealous?"

Zheng Jiaxuan just smiled and didn't speak.

Wu Tong glared at him, "Why are you laughing, you have something to say!"

"I didn't expect that I would be jealous..." Zheng Jiaxuan smiled like an idiot as if he had discovered a special skill of his own.

Wu Tong: "..."

Zheng Jiaxuan pointed at Wang Wanzi with his chin, "Tell me, who is Wang Wanzi holding up the sign for?"

Wang Wanzi's assets are far from enough to participate in such a level of bidding, so she must be holding a sign for a certain boss, who could it be?There are countless bigwigs from all walks of life here today, so I really can't guess for a while.She is walking around saying hello to people now, and she doesn't know who she will sit next to in the end.

"I can't guess, what do you think?" Wu Tong said and saw that there was still an empty seat next to Song Fan, but Song Fan probably didn't have spare money to do charity now, so he must have come to hold the sign too, and that seat Must belong to some big chaebol. "There are still people who haven't come."

Zheng Jiaxuan: "The place next to Song Fan is reserved for Zheng Xiqi, but I haven't found out who Wang Wanzi is with."

Ever since he knew that Wang Wanzi was coming to this charity auction, he had found someone to investigate this matter, but he never found out why.

If Xiao Enliang hadn't been hospitalized, it is estimated that the clues have already been found out.Xiao Enliang really had to do a lot of things. It was actually a wise move for Liu Bei to put down his dignity and visit the thatched cottage.

Facts have proved that a good plan can get twice the result with half the effort.

Wu Tong: "Your brother?" The father and son of the Zheng family fought openly and secretly, and it was really lively.

Zheng Jiaxuan: "Well, anyone who is not kind to me, he will win over and become his own. An enemy's enemy is a friend." When it comes to his elder brother, Zheng Jiaxuan has a calm face.

Wu Tong knew that he never took Zheng Xiqi seriously.

Judging from Zheng Xiqi's way of dealing with things, it seems that he is really not very smart, and often appears extremely stupid, but his intuition tells Wu Tong that this person is far from being as simple as it seems.

But if he told Zheng Jiaxuan so directly now, he would definitely not understand Wu Tong's deep meaning, let alone accept Wu Tong's kind reminder.

Wu Tong decided to wait and see. When talking about Zheng Xiqi, he needed a more suitable opportunity.

Usually, most of the collections collected in charity auctions are private collections of celebrities, but this time there are five works of painting and calligraphy that are truly time-honored.

The auctioneer repeated the rules, and Yang Huili's eyes widened after hearing it.

"Three of them are fakes?! Is this okay? This isn't a regular auction, is it?"

Wu Tong quietly explained: "It's not particularly formal, but it's in compliance with the rules. I heard that if you get the license, it's for public welfare. After all, the money collected can cover many schools and hospitals, so there's no reason not to let them do it. "

"That's right." Yang Huili nodded. "After all, it is also an open bidding, and it will not be unfair."

Just when the auction was about to start, Wang Wanzi swayed towards Ding Chubo, and sat gracefully on the seat beside Ding Chubo.

Wu Tong looked at Zheng Jiaxuan in surprise, Zheng Jiaxuan narrowed his eyes slightly and remained calm.

This woman, anyone dares to cling to her!

I'm really not afraid to play myself to death.

Whether it is the person who paid the money or the person who raised the sign, most of them don't know much about antiques, can't tell the authenticity, let alone estimate the price.

So beside or behind them, there is at least one appraisal expert in cultural relics and antiques to check the money in their pockets.

Wu Tong glanced at them, she was no ordinary person, her eyesight was at most equal to theirs, but their experience was much more than hers.

Wu Tong rubbed the sweat off his palms, and couldn't help becoming nervous again.

The auction officially started. After the host finished the simple opening remarks, he began to routinely read the auction rules and precautions.

Soon the auctioneer made his grand debut with the first lot.

Wu Tong could tell at a glance that it was "Landscape in Imitation of the Great Idiot" by Wang Yuanqi, an outstanding painter of the Qing Dynasty.But she couldn't be sure whether this pair was authentic, because no matter from the inscription, inscription, seal, or appraiser's seal, there were no problems.The original paintings are well preserved, but some are too good, which makes people a little uncertain.

The auctioneer played the PPT and gave an introduction vigorously, but what he said was meaningless to Wu Tong, because it was all information she knew clearly and could not be used as evidence to distinguish the authenticity.

The starting price for the hanging scroll, ink and color on paper "Imitation of Dazhi Landscape" is 2000 million, with a minimum increase of 200 million.

Wu Tong stared at the painting intently, mobilizing all the information in his brain, making rigorous reasoning and calculating probabilities.

Zheng Jiaxuan waited quietly for Wu Tong's answer.

The auction has just started, and the place hasn't heated up yet, so everyone is very cautious.

After the auctioneer hammered the hammer, Wang Wanzi was the first to raise the placard. Before the connoisseurs behind Ding Chubo could come to a conclusion, this "Landscape in the Imitation of a Big Crazy" was pushed to 2000 million in [-].

Some people who were lucky enough to buy some valuables from here began to follow suit and raise their cards.

In an instant, 600 million people were called, and everyone saw that Ding Chubo was silent, so they stopped taking risks.

When the auctioneer shouted "600 million, the first time", Wu Tong quickly said to Zheng Jiaxuan: "The probability of authenticity is 600%. If it is authentic, the maximum value is no more than [-] million."

After hearing Wu Tong's words, Zheng Jiaxuan immediately raised his card.

The auctioneer seemed very excited, and immediately shouted: "NO.19 price increase, now it is 800 million! Is there any price increase?"

The auctioneer looked around, "800 million, the first time! 800 million, the second time!"

At this time, Ding Chubo nodded to Wang Wanzi, and Wang Wanzi immediately raised the sign again.

In this way, they alternately shouted 600 million yuan, and the 600 million yuan happened to be called out by Zheng Jiaxuan.

Wang Wanzi looked at Ding Chubo, hoping to increase the price again, but Ding Chubo didn't give her any instructions.

"Why not add it? Zheng Jiaxuan is fighting for it. This must be the authentic work." Wang Wanzi blushed with anxiety.

Behind Ding Chubo, the master with more than 30 years of experience in appraising treasures was even more anxious, and hurriedly stopped him: "I can't add more, it's not worth it!"

Ding Chubo bowed his head in thought, and hadn't made a final decision yet.

 Benta: I just use the keyboard to secretly write tens of millions of things, um, it has nothing to do with me~
  Zheng Jiaxuan: If you write whatever you want, my money will be spent and spent outside...

  Wu Tong: I didn't say anything, I was so nervous that I doubted my life!
  Benta: Hahaha!

  Yang Huili: I don't seem to have anything to do with it, I'll just look at handsome Ding~ (Nympho face...)
  Benta: Whoever said there is nothing to do with you, there will be something to do with you soon! (This is a teaser, teaser, teaser~)
