Chapter 137 Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!
ps: Today’s first chapter, I need monthly tickets very much. Please support me, thank you.
"Holding the pain of giving up?" Qi Xiang was stunned for a moment, then a flash of inspiration flashed, and was surprised: "Old Sun, what do you mean... Dong family, are you planning to give up the baby?"
"Haha, smart." Old Sun praised and said with a smile: "There is nothing to do. In order to calm the public's anger, they can only do this. Otherwise, everyone's anger will definitely bury them."
"What's the specific thing? What's the Dong family planning to do?" Qi Xiang was very curious.
"Auction." Sun Laoshi said: "They plan to hold an auction. More than a dozen people who were cheated are qualified to participate. At that time, they will compensate everyone for the money they get from the auction, and maybe they will have some balance."
"Good idea." Qi Xiang's eyes lit up: "The wool comes from the sheep."
"Yes." Old Sun nodded, then pointed to the Wu brothers: "They are even more lucky. The Dong family knew that they were famous appraisers, so they simply entrusted them to identify the authenticity of the treasure at the auction."
"Hehe, luck, this is luck." Mr. Wu smiled and said, "It seems that we are here right this time."
"When will this auction be held?" Qi Xiang asked, "Can you please visit it?"
"This..." Old Sun turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man, and said with a smile: "This matter is also required by Mr. Yang. I guess the auction is of a secret and undisclosed nature. If no one leads the way, he will not be allowed to watch."
"If you are interested, please go with me to watch the fun." Mr. Yang was also generous and didn't mind walking with them.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang." Qi Xiang beat the snake and followed the stick and said with a smile: "I've caused you trouble."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." Mr. Yang waved his hand and said, "It's also appropriate for neighbors to help each other. As the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors. If you have time in the future, you should walk more."
On the way to the Dong family just now, Mr. Yang also took the opportunity to inquire about Qi Xiang's origin and knew that he was a young and promising calligraphy and painting appraiser. For those who are capable, Mr. Yang naturally needs to maintain basic respect.
After all, the antique projects that Mr. Yang likes include calligraphy and painting. Maybe he will find something that he can't grasp in the future, and he will come to ask Qi Xiang for advice.
Multiple friends are definitely not a bad thing.
With Mr. Yang's warm hospitality, everyone came to his mansion. It was a luxury, even more so than the Western-style villa in Qixiang Manor, with elegant and gorgeous living room layout, as if it was a medieval kingdom court.
At Mr. Yang's house, he didn't need to do it himself. When he saw the guests coming, someone had already made tea and served it directly in the hall.
But no matter how fragrant the tea is, everyone's thoughts are not on the tea.
Mr. Yang hesitated a little and took the initiative to speak: "Master Wu, is the value of that Liuxiazhang really more than tens of millions?"
"What?" Mr. Wu raised his eyebrows: "Don't you believe it?"
"No, no, no, no." Mr. Yang waved his hand quickly and explained: "I just want to make sure that if the things are really good, I will definitely let go and compete with the others."
"Why don't you fight?" Mr. Wu Er suddenly realized and urged him: "Mr. Yang, you can listen to me. No matter how expensive the things are, you have to buy them. It's definitely not a loss."
"cough……"
Mr. Wu was calm and seemed to have different opinions. He kindly mentioned: "Of course. You should do what you can. If you like something, you may not have to buy it, right?"
"This is also..." Mr. Wu was stunned and then agreed: "Anyway, you can grasp it yourself. You should also pay attention to fate when collecting things. If you can't take them down, it means that the fate is not enough, which is common."
Everyone is from the industry, so they naturally understand what Wu Erye said.
At the auction, that is the world of capital. To put it bluntly, whoever has money can laugh to the end.
No matter how much you like something, or even reach the point of obsession, if you don’t have money, things will not fall into your hands. This is a painful enlightenment. I guess Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu Er have also experienced a lot and then took it lightly.
The four words "doing within one's ability" are undoubtedly the most helpless and sad summary of experience in the entire industry.
Mr. Yang heard the implication and immediately stopped talking and hesitated. He was rich, but his money did not fall from the sky, but worked hard to manage and slowly accumulate and make a fortune.
He usually spends a lot of money for some elegant hobbies. However, the amount of this money is not large, and there are specified limits every year. Once the upper limit is reached, he will restrain himself and wait for the next year.
This kind of self-discipline and moderation are the biggest difference between the rich generation and the rich generation.
Not long ago, Mr. Yang was cheated of money by the Dong family's prodigal son, and that money was his upper limit. Although the Dong family promised to return the money to him, this was not the key.
The key is Liuxiazhan’s auction. Should he participate? If he participates, is it worth spending tens of millions of dollars to buy things?
Mr. Yang fell into deep thought and was undecided.
Seeing this, Qi Xiang's heart moved and vaguely understood Mr. Yang's thoughts. Zhan Yan smiled and said, "Second Master, I think that Liuxiazhang may not be able to sell for tens of millions."
"Hey, boy, do you doubt my eyes?" Mr. Wu was unhappy with his beard and glaring. He was always proud of his professionalism and could not hear any doubts.
"No..." Qi Xiang shook her head quickly and explained: "Second Master, you misunderstood. I don't doubt your vision. But I think you are a little bit self-indulgent."
"Hmm?" Mr. Wu raised his eyebrows and thought: "How can I push myself to others?"
"Second Master, you should know that other people's understanding of Liuxiazhan is not as detailed as you." Qi Xiang smiled and said, "At most they think Liuxiazhan is a good thing. Whether they are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it is also a question."
"Hey, right."
Mr. Wu Er woke up and felt a little embarrassed: "Xiao Qi, you are right. I took it for granted. Those who participated in the auction may not understand the true value of Liuxiazhan. Maybe they can take down the things in tens of millions."
"Really..." Mr. Yang's eyes lit up and he was thinking.
"It's very likely." Mr. Wu Er nodded, and hesitated a little: "But I'm afraid there are people who understand it, so this wishful thinking will not be made."
"It's hard to say whether there is anyone who understands it. I won't know until then..."
The auction will be held in three days.
The venue is indeed relatively remote, located in a lonely villa in the suburbs. Around the villa, there are large fields surrounded by hills, green water flowing, bushes, and the scenery is pretty good.
Under the leadership of Mr. Yang, Qi Xiang and others arrived as scheduled and successfully entered the villa.
The spacious lobby of the villa has also been renovated and has been arranged into the layout of an auction house. There are rows of seats, and tea, fruit candy is placed on the table, which is quite thoughtful.
At this moment, there were many people sitting between the venues. Some were very close to each other, chatting and laughing, while others were far apart and clearly separated.
"Mr. Yang..."
"Old Yang!"
As soon as Mr. Yang came in, he would greet him. When the person he knew looked at him, he would continue to chat and laugh, drinking tea, drinking tea, and being close to each other, and how his relationships were.
Mr. Yang smiled and walked around the venue for a long time before finding an open seat. He then greeted Qi Xiang and Mr. Sun to sit down.
As for Uncle Wu and Wu Erye, when they entered the door of the villa, they had already asked the Dong family to invite them to the second floor to verify the authenticity of Liuxiazan with other appraisers.
The verification process seemed to be a bit long. More than half an hour passed in a flash, and all the people participating in the auction had arrived, but the auction had not started yet. Everyone felt a little impatient and restless.
At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and everyone hurriedly looked at it, and a group of people rushed into the hall. Qi Xiang looked and found that Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu were among them.
However, at this time, Mr. Wu and Mr. Wu Er were in a daze and seemed to be somewhat abnormal. Not only were the two of them, but the appraisers next to him, they were also confused, and the situation seemed to be a little wrong.
Qi Xiang was thinking, but also noticed that compared with the few people in the Dong family, the faces of the people were full of pride and heartbroken.
After Qi Xiang thought about it, his eyes flew around and confirmed that the prodigal son of the Dong family would not appear in this occasion, and he felt a little relieved.
He knew that as the "sinner" of the Dong family, the prodigal son must have been punished and might have been confined and would never have been able to show off his market outside.
That's why he agreed to Mr. Yang's invitation to come here to watch the fun.
“As expected…”
Qi Xiang felt at ease and sat firmly on the sofa watching coldly. He was not in a hurry at all. No matter what happened, the Dong family would definitely reveal the answer, so why urge him?
"Welcome to everyone."
At the same time, he walked out alone, stood on the auction table, facing everyone, and said neither humble nor arrogantly: "I also know why everyone came, so I won't say much more about it."
"Just just now, the appraiser you brought to you was making a detailed appraisal for Liuxiazan. You can consult them on the specific situation..."
The man's tone was inexplicable, but his voice was very solemn: "The treasures that the Dong family has treasured for hundreds of years are definitely not worthy of fame, so I hope you will carefully consider the value of things."
While speaking, the man walked down, giving everyone a space to imagine. At the same time, the appraisers also returned to their respective bosses and began to report the results of the appraisal.
"Master Wu, how about the things?" Mr. Yang couldn't wait to ask, "This time, is it a real thing?"
This time, Mr. Wu, who has always been fond of talking, was unexpectedly silent. Mr. Wu, who was taciturn, spoke, and his voice was a little trembling: "Wonderful, wonderful!"
"What?" Mr. Yang was stunned.
