The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband
Chapter 224 The first shot
As an auction hosted by the four major families in the imperial capital, every item prepared is extraordinary.
As soon as Yan Xuhan announced the start of the auction, the first item was brought to the stage by several staff members wearing gloves. The item was covered with a soft and fine red satin.
Yan Xuhan also put on special gloves and personally stepped forward to remove the red silk.
"The first lot is a gilded cat's eye wide-mouthed bronze vase unearthed from a Persian ruin. The starting price is 500 million, and each bid must not be less than 50. Please start bidding!"
Xu Yiyu had seen this vase before when she and Lu Sanshi were viewing exhibits at Junshan Pavilion. Although she was impressed by the exquisiteness and superb craftsmanship of the vase, she was disappointed that it was not the favorite of either of them, so she did not put it on their list of must-buy items.
Although Xu Yiyu was not very keen on this item, it did not mean that other guests downstairs were not interested.
"VIP No. 33 bids 550 million."
"VIP No. 25 bids 600 million."
"VIP No. 17 bids 700 million."
"VIP No. 37 bids 800 million."
"VIP No. 52 bids 850 million."
"VIP No. 60 bids 1000 million."
As the data on the huge electronic display screen on the auction table continued to scroll, the prices shouted out by bidders became higher and higher.
Xu Yiyu couldn't help but sigh: There are indeed a lot of rich people in the imperial capital, and the price of a vase was easily raised to 1000 million.
They raise the price just like eating and drinking, and there is no sign of hesitation at all.
There was fierce bidding for the ordinary guest seats downstairs, but the guests in the eight private rooms upstairs did not even bid once.
Xu Yiyu could guess who were sitting in the box, and naturally understood that this vase was just an appetizer for this auction, and now was not the time for them to make a move.
In the end, this gilded cat's eye wide-mouthed copper vase was bought by Guest No. 52 for 1250 million yuan. Compared with similar items, the price was not low, which was a good start.
When the second item was carefully brought onto the stage, Yan Xuhan returned to her original seat and took off the special gloves she had worn earlier.
When the auction item, still covered with red silk, revealed its true appearance, Xu Yiyu's eyes froze instantly.
The main course is served so soon... As expected of the four major families in the imperial capital, they are indeed wealthy and powerful.
"The second lot is the original work of "Sunny Peaks", a masterpiece by the famous Chinese painting master Zhang Maoqian. The starting price is 1500 million, and each bid must not be less than 100 million. Please start bidding!"
Xu Yiyu was a little surprised that an item on her must-bid list appeared so soon, but she did not plan to start bidding so soon. Instead, she wanted to wait and see what other guests' bidding intentions were.
Because Zhang Maoqian was so famous, there were more people bidding this time, and the price increase was much crazier than the previous vase.
"VIP No. 15 bids 1700 million."
"VIP No. 19 bids 1950 million."
"VIP No. 21 bids 2050 million."
"VIP No. 22 bids 2200 million."
"VIP No. 30 bids 2350 million."
"VIP No. 37 bids 2600 million."
The auction prices scrolling in real time on the electronic screen are getting higher and higher, but the bidders have no intention of taking a break and the auction prices are still rising continuously.
During the auction of "Qingfengtu", the VIPs in Box 7 and Box 8 upstairs each made a bid, and the prices offered were 3200 million and 3550 million respectively.
Although Xu Yiyu didn't know who was sitting in boxes 7 and 8, he knew that their bids were somewhat tentative and were actually very conservative and restrained.
Seeing that the number of new bidders on the electronic screen was decreasing and the bidding price was raised to 7500 million, an already crazy price, Xu Yiyu realized that it was time for him to make a move.
She raised her hand and entered a string of numbers into the bidding machine, then pressed the send button without delay.
"VIP No. 6 bid 1 billion."
When the price scrolled up on the electronic screen, there was a moment of silence among the ordinary guest seats downstairs.
Many people looked up at Box No. 6, whose exact location was unknown, wondering who could have offered such a price that would discourage many people.
其他人不知道6号包厢中是谁,位于1号包厢的那位二把手,还有分布于2号、3号、4号及5号包厢的几位家主,他们却是知道的。
According to the price estimates of Zhang Maoqian's works sold at auction in previous years, the expected price of this "Sunny Peak Picture" is actually around 8000 million, and the bid of 1 million is obviously a premium.
After the second-in-command sighed at the generosity of this rising star in the business world, he was also more optimistic about her future performance.
When the four family heads saw the price offered by this junior who was not at all moved when the first lot appeared, they had a new assessment of her financial resources.
According to conservative estimates, the funds prepared by this kid for this auction must be no less than 100 billion, otherwise it would be impossible for him to throw out 1 million in the first bid on the first day.
As expected, as soon as the price of 1 million was announced, all the bidders fell silent. Yan Xuhan asked three times as usual if there were any other bidders, and finally dropped the hammer with satisfaction.
The VIP in Box 6 gave her an inexplicably familiar feeling, as if she had met this person somewhere before.
"Tongzi, just to be on the safe side, please transfer 500 billion to my bank account first. I'll tell you when it's not enough."
“恭喜宿主,500亿已转账成功,目前系统财富余额为9垓9999京9999兆8350亿华夏元。”
When the Chosen System heard the word "not enough", the corners of its mouth twitched for a long time, and it finally managed to resist the urge to complain about its own host.
With it here, how could the host be without money to spend! The host is completely questioning its ability!
After Xu Yiyu received the SMS notification of the bank card balance, he saw that his bank card balance, which was originally only more than 103 billion, jumped to 603 billion in an instant, and he felt safe again.
Heavenly Chosen System: Oh, so your sense of security does not come from this system? Are you still the real host of this system?
Lu Sanshi subconsciously lowered his head at the moment when his baby's mobile phone received an account text message.
And then...he regretted it.
Oh, oh, oh, 603 billion. His tears of envy flowed directly from the corners of his mouth.
After a brief discussion in the audience, Yan Xuhan gestured to the staff nearby, indicating that they should bring the third lot to the stage.
This item was obviously much heavier than the previous two, and it took three staff members to carry it up.
When the familiar object appeared in front of everyone, Zhou Zhiyu, who had been quiet in Box No. 2, suddenly brightened up, and the next second he patted Zhou Fu who was sitting diagonally in front of him.
However, Xu Yiyu, who was in Box No. 6, had the urge to swear at this moment.
Two items on her must-shoot list appeared in succession. Are those old foxes from the four major families targeting her on purpose?
She had originally wanted to keep a low profile on the first day, but now she has to be high-profile!
