Chapter 107 Returning empty-handed?

As the top exhibition hall in Yanjing, the Capital Exhibition Hall has all the facilities at the world-class level. Mr. Cheng brought his followers to the auction hall.

In fact, although these followers were very determined to stand on Mr. Cheng’s side and build momentum for Mr. Cheng, they were all subconscious behaviors, and they didn’t think so much. They did it when they were so angry. But after thinking about it, they were really scared. Now when they were sitting in the auction hall and recalling what happened just now, they asked Mr. Cheng who was just now, and did he really live in Xihuanggen? If they really lived in that place, it wouldn’t be something they could afford.

Mr. Cheng was angry with the doubts of the followers. He said that these people were insulting him, and that was just a nouveau riche who bought the Siheyuan in Xihuanggen. What's there to be afraid of?

"You don't think about it carefully. If he is really that powerful, why would he choose his own paintings at such a painting exhibition? That would be true to Xiao Wang's words just now, "Isn't this a man who has a short painting on the street and the walls that are not old, must this be the Ministry of Internal Affairs?" Mr. Cheng emphasized.

This is the same thing for these followers. Generally, if they are really powerful families, how could they lack literary, calligraphy and painting at home? Whether it is their daily relationships, filial piety, or various gifts and relationships, they are afraid that a study can fill in one Spring Festival.

Of course, it is not ruled out that some big names have their own unique hobbies, but exploring people's hearts is a basic operation for people with a certain status and status. You can interpret a 20,000-word paper for you in any sentence. Therefore, as long as you express your preferences casually, someone will get it for you immediately. Therefore, unless it is the best product that can be sold at a sky-high price, it is impossible to choose things at such art exhibitions by yourself.

It seems that he is really a nouveau riche who has somehow risen!

Now they felt relieved, and then they told Mr. Cheng on the spot that they would definitely give Zhou Ming a good look at this auction and would never let him get any good things.

Mr. Cheng was very satisfied with his attitude towards his followers: "We should not go too far. We should let him get something occasionally, otherwise they will finally come here and end up empty-handed. This is not suitable!"

The followers were unable to understand Mr. Cheng's attitude at first, but soon these people figured it out and said they would definitely give him a chance. However, in the early stage, the other party must have a strong family background, which means that they would deliberately call the price high to cheat the other party.

...

On the other hand, all the things selected by Zhou Ming have been sent to the staff. The special staff will record the numbers and will not be removed immediately. However, it will be marked as having been sold. After the exhibition is over, it will be specially framed and delivered to the customer.

Zhou Ming paid the money and walked around again. Seeing that there was nothing left, he went to the auction hall.

This does not mean that the exhibition is as good as Mr. Cheng and others said. In fact, in order to establish his own name and the company, Jin Tianlin spent a lot of money and got a lot of good things. He said that the paintings of the Four Kings of the Qing Dynasty and Picasso were the treasures of the store.

But today is the last day of the exhibition, and most of the good things have been picked up. Whether it is malicious speculation or something, Zhou Ming has no idea of ​​competing for it. Anyway, the real good things still have to be auctioned.

Zhou Ming and Su Han and Du Peng soon arrived at the auction hall. Sure enough, they also saw Mr. Cheng. Mr. Cheng and his followers still looked provocative, but Zhou Ming was not interested in arguing with them. After all, quarreling with them here is too disgusting, so there is no need for this. Zhou Ming even chose a position next to him, and Mr. Cheng was just like the New Year.

After waiting for a while, the auction hall was filled up quickly, and then the auction began quickly.

In fact, there are auctions every day in the exhibition these days, but because today is the last day of auction, in principle, all kinds of good things will be unveiled today. Simply put, the biggest gains will be given to the auction today.

A female auctioneer in a small suit and dress walked onto the stage and introduced the lot as she came onto the stage, and then started the auction.

The first item was a porcelain plate of the Republic of China. Most people don’t know much about this. Simply put, it is a calligraphy and painting made on ceramics. However, most of these porcelain plate paintings are imitated by antiques, and the age is very close, so compared with real antiques, it is still a distance.

Zhou Ming didn't understand this, but when the porcelain plate painting was unveiled, there was a burst of exclamation on the spot. Even Du Peng told Zhou Ming that if you like it, you can buy it.

"Although porcelain plate paintings are not as good as real antiques, they also have high collection value. Moreover, they are not as easy to damage as literary calligraphy and paintings, and they are basically not fake. Who is the author of this item? They are also famous artists of porcelain plate paintings. At least they won't lose face." Du Peng said.

After listening to Du Peng's introduction, Zhou Ming gave Su Han a look, and then Su Han raised the sign.

This auction is a fixed bidding method for raising a sign, that is, each sign is increased by 1,000 yuan, and the starting price is 50,000 yuan.

"Someone raised a sign at the beginning of the auction. It seems that the bosses here still like the art of porcelain board painting. After all, most of the circulating things on the market are paper calligraphy and paintings, and it is relatively rare to use porcelain boards to paint. There are also not many that can appear at auctions, so other bosses have to seize the opportunity if they want it..."

The auctioneer is very dedicated to the situation and hopes that more people will come forward to bid.

However, as the auctioneer said, porcelain plate paintings may not be as popular as traditional cultural calligraphy and paintings in the market, but they also have certain collection value.

So after the auctioneer said this, someone immediately raised the sign to bid.

When Zhou Ming saw someone holding a sign, he was not anxious. After all, auctions are not about who holds a sign more often, and things are yours. In principle, only the first and last holdings are the most important. If they really want to, they just need to raise the sign when the price reaches the critical point.

According to this guiding ideology, Zhou Ming and the others kept watching the development of the situation and watching others bidding for the price, but strangely, Mr. Cheng had never bidding for the price.

When the price was raised to 80,000 yuan after several rounds of bidding, Zhou Ming asked Su Han to raise the card again, but Zhou Ming and the others offered the price, but found that Mr. Cheng also raised the card immediately afterwards.

"Eighty-seven, I didn't expect that I would get two bids in a row in this round. This is really beyond my expectations. It seems that Master He Xuren still has a lot of market space and can get everyone's attention..."

The auctioneer on the stage was still guiding him diligently. Zhou Ming looked at Mr. Cheng and saw that the other side was even more provocative.

Zhou Ming smiled and knew that his plan was very obvious, he came to deliberately slander.

So Zhou Ming made a quick decision: "Xiao Han raised the sign, and if it exceeded 90,000, it would be fine."

Zhou Ming’s idea is very simple. If Mr. Cheng is determined to disgust himself, there is no need to compete with him, because the bid of 88,000 now has obviously exceeded the critical point. What if the opposite side waits for him to call a high price and then cheat him? So it is better to set a bottom line.

Then Su Han raised the placard of 88,000, and then President Cheng followed up with 89,000, and Su Han continued to raise the placard of 90,000, President Cheng

Following 90,000 yuan, Su Han was very obedient and didn't continue calling. In the end, the porcelain board painting was taken into account by Mr. Cheng.

Oh yeah!

Mr. Cheng was cheering for their first victory, as if he had finally been liberated. Even when Zhou Ming and the others looked over, they were very proud.

Zhou Ming shook his head and regretfully told Du Peng that this style was there. It seemed that he would probably return empty-handed this time today.

Zhou Ming did not know Mr. Cheng, nor did he check the other party's information, but since the other party dared to be so arrogant, he must have prepared him. Moreover, the prices of exhibits sold this time are not too high, and the starting price is basically in the range of tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and there are not even a few more than 200,000. Generally, people with a little bit of wealth can easily win it.

Although Zhou Ming is not short of money and can definitely win a lot if he really fights with his opponent, he doesn't think it's necessary.

Isn’t it that someone maliciously raises the price and then buys things at a price that exceeds your psychological expectations?

Zhou Ming has no interest, and he is himself. If he buys some literary and calligraphy and paintings to decorate, he just follows the tide. Is it because there are fewer literary and calligraphy in the room, he is not himself, and anyone can look down on him? Then he will not be reborn and come back.

The situation later was similar to what Zhou Ming expected. No matter what it was, as long as Zhou Ming bid, Mr. Cheng would definitely follow him. In short, he was determined to surround Zhou Ming.

Once Zhou Ming gave up the bidding, the other party stopped calling. Sometimes when Zhou Ming gave up the bidding, others still didn't give up, but Mr. Cheng still gave up and let others bid successfully in the end.

This is obvious, the other party is targeting him.

However, the other party's attitude aroused Zhou Ming's interest. He asked for a price if he had something to do, and then seduced him to raise the price. He was silent for a while, and waited for a while and was bored and bid again. Then he asked him to follow him, which could be considered as contributing to this auction.

Although Zhou Ming didn't take a single item at the end, he had a lot of fun.

After the auction ended, Mr. Cheng and the others got up first, then went straight to Zhou Ming and became sarcastic: "Oh, this boss is so sorry. I really didn't expect that you, a big man who lives in Xihuanggen, would return empty-handed even at an auction. This is really unexpected!"

The followers beside him quickly became a supporting actor again and said one by one: "Mr. Cheng, you don't know anything. It's not that where you live, it really represents your identity. Some people are just lucky, but they are still useless. Otherwise, why can't they even take out 200,000 to take a picture of something they like? If I were to say that Xihuang root has not fallen, why can any cat or dog be able to live?"

Such praise made Mr. Cheng very helpful, and he finally asked in a difficult manner: "Oh, you said I took so many things, how should I transport them back?"

The followers answered him very sensiblely: "Mr. Cheng, you are a big boss with millions of dollars. Of course, the company will give you a special delivery. Do you come here to get it by yourself like some nouveau riche living in Xihuanggen? And the things we photographed are Mr. Cheng's things. People with real identities will not do things by themselves. Just like our Mr. Cheng, you are still far from it..."

Mr. Cheng and his followers were doing their best to show off, and suddenly someone came over next to him.
