Chapter 42 Meet Lao Liu at the auction!

After Lin Xiao parked the motorcycle, he walked towards the hotel gate.

After entering the hotel, Lin Xiao followed the instructions and found the banquet hall that was used as the auction venue.

There are two people sitting behind a table at the entrance of the banquet hall. The two of them are the staff of the auction, responsible for signing in for the guests participating in the auction and collecting the deposit.

"Hi, are you signing in here?"

Suddenly, a deep voice rang in the ears of the two.

After the two heard the voice, they quickly put down their phones and looked up.

I saw a ferocious face appearing in front of me, staring at me closely at this moment.

The owner of this face is Lin Xiao!
After seeing Lin Xiao's entire image clearly, the two of them shrank back instinctively in fright.

"Ah? Ah... yes, I signed in here."

One of them was obviously stunned for a moment, and then quickly took out the sign-in book and handed it over.

Lin Xiao took the sign-in book, took a look at it, and then signed his name on it, and handed it to him.

"That... a security deposit of [-] yuan is required."

The man said to Lin Xiao with some confidence.

Because it always feels a bit strange that this tyrant-like hunk asks for money. It should be normal for him to come to ask for money!

"Yeah. Fifty thousand, no problem!"

After speaking, Lin Xiao took out his mobile phone and scanned the 5 yuan for him.

Lin Xiao has also learned about some auctions before, and it is also a routine operation to collect a certain amount of deposit to prevent regretting after taking the bid.

After Lin Xiao paid the deposit, he walked in directly.

Entering the banquet hall, the innermost part is a huge stage with a table on it.

There are many seats below, tightly surrounding the stage, there are about seventy or eighty seats.

At this time, more than 20 people were already sitting in the banquet hall.Waiting for the auction to start.

So Lin Xiao planned to find an empty seat to sit down first.

When he looked around, he suddenly saw two familiar faces standing in the aisle looking for a place.

These two people are the colleague Lao Liu who photographed the blue and white enamel porcelain in the previous life, and another colleague Xiao Zhou.

And when Lin Xiao saw them, their eyes happened to look at Lin Xiao.

"Hey! Lin Xiao, why are you here?"

After Lao Liu saw Lin Xiao, he quickly smiled and waved to him.

Lin Xiao also smiled and walked towards them.

"I didn't expect you to come to this auction!"

Old Liu looked up at Lin Xiao, and then said:

"I'm really not used to you becoming like this!"

Lin Xiao grinned in response, then looked at Old Liu and asked tentatively:

"By the way, Lao Liu, did you come here today, which auction item did you fancy?"

"Oh, I didn't fancy anything, so I just wanted to come and have a look. Anyway, I'm idle at home."

Old Liu chuckled and said to Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao nodded after listening, and then pointed to the empty seat next to him:
"Then let's sit down first."

"okay."

After finishing speaking, the three of them sat down and chatted about what happened in the company before.

At nine o'clock, people in the banquet hall arrived one after another.

Suddenly, a male presenter in a suit and black-rimmed glasses walked onto the stage. He cleared his throat and said to the following with a microphone:

"Hello, everyone! Welcome to our auction."

"Now that we are all here, I don't need to say anything else. I announce that the auction will officially start now!"

"The following applause invites our first auction item..."

The host went straight to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, a hostess lady in a cheongsam came up with an auction item.

Subsequently, several auction items were sold one after another.

Lin Xiao looked at the auction items brought up one after another, without any interest. He was only thinking about the blue and white enamel porcelain.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, the host finally spoke:
"Okay, the next auction item, blue and white enamel porcelain!"

"Although this piece of colored porcelain is a high-quality imitation, its imitation technology is very good, and the patterns on it are so lifelike that it can even achieve the effect of being fake!"

Listening to the host's introduction, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sneered.

High imitation goods?Don't be kidding, this is the real thing from the Qianlong period!

I will definitely win this time!

While Lin Xiao was pondering, Lao Liu who was sitting next to him suddenly pointed to the blue and white enamel porcelain on the stage and said to Lin Xiao:

"Look at how beautiful this colorful porcelain is! I bought it and placed it at home. I like it very much!"

Lin Xiao turned to look at Lao Liu, pretending to be relaxed and said:

"What's so good about this? It's just a fake, worthless!"

Old Liu disagreed, saying:

"Xiaolin, let me tell you, this kind of thing only pays attention to eye contact, and it cannot be measured by value alone."

"Look at this blue and white enamel porcelain, how full the colors are, and the patterns are so lifelike, I fell in love with it at first sight!"

After finishing speaking, Old Liu smiled and patted Lin Xiao on the shoulder.

Lin Xiao could only bite the bullet and smile, but he was very anxious in his heart.

You have to find a way to make him dispel this idea, otherwise it will be very troublesome in a while!
While they were discussing, the host on the stage suddenly said:

"Okay! I announce that the auction of this blue and white enamel porcelain has officially started, with a starting price of 1 yuan!"

As soon as the host's voice fell, Lao Liu couldn't wait to hold up his placard and shouted:
"Twelve thousand yuan!"

After Lao Liu finished shouting, the audience was silent and no one made a sound.

"1 yuan for the first time!"

After a while, the host shouted to the following.

"I will offer 5000 yuan!"

Suddenly, a man in his 50s and wearing reading glasses under the stage raised a sign and shouted.

"Hey! This old boy, why do you have to fight with me?"

When Lao Liu saw someone bid, he immediately looked in his direction angrily.

Seeing this, Xiao Zhou, who was sitting next to him, quickly smiled and comforted him:
"Old Liu, why are you so angry? You are only allowed to bid at the auction and no one else is allowed to bid? Isn't this normal!"

After hearing this, Lao Liu glanced at Xiao Zhou, and said angrily:

"That's fine, then I'll continue to yell at him to see who is afraid of whom?!"

After finishing speaking, Lao Liu immediately raised the sign again:

"6000 yuan!"

"I will offer 7000 yuan!"

As soon as Lao Liu finished speaking, the man shouted again.

"Hey! You are still chasing after him, come on, let's see who has played better!"

Lao Liu said emotionally, and quickly held up the sign:

"I will offer 8000 yuan!"

"Okay, 8000 yuan for the first time!"

The host yelled at the right time.

The man touched his chin, looked at the blue and white enamel porcelain on the stage and thought about it. After hesitating for a while, he held up the sign:

"I will offer 9000 yuan!"
