The Greatest Astrologist - Chapter 83

Jin Xiaoyuan has a lot of local contacts. He is warm and thoughtful to Tan Muxing. When he meets other people, he is full of momentum and leads a group of people in.

The auction management staff heard that Jin Xiaoyuan came, and he hurried out to greet him politely, hesitated and asked warmly, so that the other party was not satisfied.

Jin Xiaoyuan looked around, he patted his belly and condensed his eyebrows: “Where’s Aming? Why don’t you see him?”

The manager cautiously said: “Mr. Zhang is not in G city on business recently. If you have something to do, let me contact you?”

“Forget it, I called him myself, I originally wanted him to take us around.” Jin Xiaoyuan took out the phone and looked down for the number.

Tan Muxing immediately dissuaded him, embarrassed: “Uncle Jin really doesn’t need it, let’s take one, don’t bother others…”

“Oh, you don’t have to worry about Twilight Star. I know A Ming very well. He is in charge of Rusya’s auction house in City G. No trouble or trouble!” Jin Xiaoyuan answered the phone and said loudly, “…Hey Amin? I’m at the auction house!”

“Yes, yes, yes, you are out of town, I also said to get together with you. Okay, then we go directly into the VIP room? They will arrange it, right?” Jin Xiaoyuan called while pacing, her loud voice couldn’t wait to let the people next to you I heard it all, as if the auction was my home.

Chu Qianli watched how many people are so sophisticated. She watched Jin Xiaoyuan’s performance and said calmly: “It is really a reserved performance project for middle-aged uncles. No matter where you go, you first show how many people you know.”

Tan Muxing lowered his head awkwardly: “…but I feel a little ashamed.”

After Jin Xiaoyuan called Mr. Zhang, he waited for the management staff to make arrangements.

On the way to the VIP room, the group of people encountered Li Like who had met yesterday.

“Hey, I met again…” Li Like was smiling and trying to say hello to Chu Qianli. He suddenly found a bunch of people next to them, including the well-known local manager Jin, and said in surprise, “…this is ?”

Chu Qianli and Tan Evening Star did not bring many people yesterday, and Uncle Qi followed far away, but there was no such big pomp.

Jin Xiaoyuan glanced at the visitor, raised his eyebrows, and said first: “Long time no see, Lao Li!”

“It’s been a long time since Mr. Jin.” Li Like noticed that Jin Xiaoyuan was slightly cold, naturally confused and unclear. He is not a native of City G, but he often comes to do business, and he has few opportunities to deal with Jin Xiaoyuan, and he does not know where to offend him.

Chu Qianli noticed Li Like’s doubts and said in a low voice, “Don’t take it to heart, he is sour and jealous.” Who told them to have a happy conversation with Li Like yesterday.

Li Like: “?”

Jin Xiaoyuan discovered that the two were secretly communicating, and he forced it to be open-minded: “Lao Li, come with us, you don’t know gems very well, you have to ask you more.”

Li Like hesitated and said: “…it can be.”

Jin Xiaoyuan doesn’t understand professional knowledge. He originally wanted to call Mr. Zhang to introduce him. Unexpectedly, the other party is not in G city, but now he can only call Li Like next, so that he won’t be able to save him when he talks about Twilight Star later.

After a while, Li Like sat in the VIP room, listening to Jin Xiaoyuan’s command of the auction person serving tea and water, and had a new understanding of Chu Qianli and Tan Muxing. He was startled: “I didn’t expect you to know Mr. Jin.”

The two temperaments couldn’t fight Jin Xiaoyuan, so Li Like was puzzled.

Chu Qianli nodded clearly: “I didn’t expect us to be the villains in Yurou Township.”

Talking about Twilight Star: “…”

The VIP room of the auction is on the side of the second floor of the venue. You can overlook the whole situation with a superior view. Not only can you see the auctioneer and the exhibits, you can also browse the large screen on the stage and the auditorium on the first floor.

The appearance and identity of the guests in the private room will not be exposed, and there is no need to raise a placard to bid. Press the bidding button in the room, and the small screen outside the private room will light up to inform the auctioneer on the stage.

Each auction will have two VIP rooms. Chu Qianli and others are located in VIP room 1, and VIP room 2 is also open for use.

In VIP2 room, Shi Zhuoqu glanced through the manual of this auction, and finally stayed on the page of the rough stone No. 1134. He folded a corner at the bottom right of the book, and waited for the official start of the auction.

Shi Zhuoqu asked people around him: “Have you not found out who the seller of the auction house is?”

“Yes.”

“That means I don’t know the reserve price?” Shi Zhuoqu is very familiar with the auction process. The seller will set a reserve price for the auction item. If the auction price does not reach the reserve price, the auction item will fail.

“…Yes, but there should not be many bidders.”

Shi Zhuoqu pondered for a few seconds, and said, “Let them focus on the interior of Rosia. The seller should contact the auction house recently. I don’t want to make a mistake in this matter.”

“OK.”

It didn’t take long for the scene to light up suddenly, and the auction house officially kicked off.

Under the spotlight, the outstanding female auctioneer Ping Ting came on stage. Her voice was soft but clear, and she explained the rules slowly: “Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Rosya Auction House. I am very happy to serve you all. 89 pieces, you can study through the materials in your hand, and the bidders who have not obtained the manual can contact the staff nearby…”

“Next, I will read the auction rules. In order to ensure the successful completion of this auction, please consciously abide by the precautions. Thank you for your understanding and support of our work.”

The female auctioneer began to introduce the rules on the stage. The bidders in the room can raise the price continuously by raising the placard. When more than two customers raise the placard, the auctioneer will confirm who raised the placard first. The people on the first floor bid by themselves by raising the number plate and calling the price, while the people in the VIP room will be bidding on behalf of the auctioneer.

“If there is the highest price in the audience, other bidders will have three more chances to increase the price. If no one increases the price in the end, and the target reaches the reserve price, I will knock the hammer to show the transaction. The transaction price is legally effective. Anyone can change or Overturning the transaction price will bear legal responsibility.”

This auction is basically rough, and all kinds of lots are listed in order of number.

“The first piece is a rough ruby ​​number 1100, with a starting price of 10 million…”

Photos and specific information of the rough stone were displayed on the big screen, and the bidders in the venue began to offer placards.

“28 million…” The female auctioneer looked around the venue. She looked at the fresh number plate and said loudly, “30 million! 30 million!”

“30 million for the first time, 30 million for the second time, and 30 million for the third time. Congratulations on the 1100 bid!” The female auctioneer gave the final word, and the surrounding staff rushed over and signed the confirmation with the bidder.

Chu Qianli was sitting in the VIP room on the second floor. She looked at the venue below and said with emotion: “It feels very lively below.”

The female auctioneer mobilized the emotions of everyone present, and the passionate tone would stimulate the idea of ​​bidding.

Jin Xiaoyuan eagerly proposed: “Then otherwise we go down?”

Talking about Twilight Star, fearing to disturb the people on the first floor, he waved his hand quickly and said: “It’s not going to be possible, Uncle Jin, don’t be busy.”

The auction went on in an orderly manner, all of which were rough stones of different shapes, and several pieces were sold in succession.

Li Like said: “There are not many people who want that piece to be auctioned. Just a little bit more than the auction price. Don’t be led away by the auctioneer.”

Li Like has rich experience in auctioning rough stones, and he doesn’t want Chu Qianli and others to spend the wrong money.

Tan Muxing quickly thanked: “Okay, thank you.”

Various types of rough stones were auctioned off in turn, and Li Like briefly introduced them. Chu Qianli had benefited a lot from talking about Muxing, but Jin Xiaoyuan was a little bit distressed. He couldn’t talk for a long time, and he always felt robbed of the limelight.

“Next is the rough mineral stone numbered 1134, the starting price is 10 million, now start bidding!”

When Jin Xiaoyuan heard the sound, he was busy reminding: “Here comes!”

“Okay.” Tan Muxing followed Li Like’s teachings. He pressed the button in his hand to complete the bidding for the first time.

The small screen outside the VIP room lights up the quotation. After the female auctioneer sees the numbers, she speaks: “Okay, 10.5 million…”

Jin Xiaoyuan was quite astonished: “Twilight Star, how come there is a fraction?”

Talking about Muxing: “Ah, but Uncle Li just said…”

Li Like touched his chin: “This should be enough, this one is worthless, it’s weird to get ten million games.”

Chu Qianli justly helped: “Eat frugally! Hard and simple!”

Li Like thinks that No. 1134 can be easily photographed, who knows that there are still people participating in the bidding at the scene.

“10.5 million…” The female auctioneer saw the small screen on the other side also lit up, and said hurriedly, “11.5 million! 11.5 million!”

The customers on the first floor were basically not interested in No. 1134, but the two VIPs actually ended up bidding, which naturally surprised others.

“Is this the happiness of the rich? No matter what it is, shoot first?” Someone sat in the auditorium on the first floor and ridiculed. There may not be people in the VIP rooms, but they are all used today.

“What is this one? I didn’t remember it after reading it yesterday.”

“I don’t remember, it seems to be in good condition.”

Inside the room, Jin Xiaoyuan glared at Li Like annoyedly: “Look, I said the bid is too delicate!”

Li Like was confused and said: “But it’s really worthless at the market price? Does anyone want to buy it for fun?”

Li Like is an insider analysis, he really did not see the value.

Chu Qianli accepted the button, and she tried to increase the price for the first time: “Then I will come to someone who is not delicate.”

The female auctioneer saw the small screen and said: “13 million! Now it is 13 million!”

Jin Xiaoyuan couldn’t laugh or cry: “Isn’t this still very delicate!?”

On the other side, Shi Zhuoqu found that the small screen on the opposite side was lit up. He was suspicious and asked, “Who is sitting in room one?”

Others rushed to inquire about the news, and it didn’t take long for them to report: “It seems to be Jin Xiaoyuan.”

Jin Xiaoyuan’s ancestor was mixed in black and white in City G. He has been very clean in the past ten years, but he is still intricate and energetic in the local area.

“What is he doing with this?”

“It is said that it was a temporary intention to play.”

“?”

Shi Zhuoqu pursed his lips impatiently. He thought it would be over soon. Who knew that the bidders would suddenly be shot out.

The small screen in VIP2 room lights up again.

“15 million!” The female auctioneer paused for a while, and continued to ask, “Is anyone still raising the price? It’s 15 million now!”

Jin Xiaoyuan anxiously encouraged the children, expecting: “Be bold! You are bolder, you can see how quickly they can speed up!”

Chu Qianli tentatively pressed the button: “What about this?”

Li Like saw the number she had entered. As a jewellery merchant, Li Like regretted: “Oh, this is a bit of a loss…”

“20 million! 20 million!” The female auctioneer turned to see the small screen on the other side. She didn’t wait too long, and said excitedly, “30 million!”

VIP2 room seems to be on a bargain with everyone, constantly raising the price of No. 1134, an instantaneous surge of 10 million!

Jin Xiaoyuan scolded: “Lao Li, do you know or not, I can’t stand your little madness, what should I do if I don’t get a photo by then!?”

Li Like touched his head anxiously, his face panicked: “It’s really not worth the market price…”

When Chu Qianli heard the price soaring, she also retreated, and said in a low voice: “Otherwise, let’s forget it. The money is not good for buying gold. I always feel that buying a stone is a waste.”

She is really interested in Hongjing, but she is not sure what the use of the 1134 rough stone is, and Li Like insists that the price is too high, so she is not willing to be taken advantage of.

Tan Mu Xing was taken aback: “But don’t you really want it?”

Chu Qianli doubted: “But I don’t like the feeling of making leeks. Isn’t it a nursery on the opposite side?”

When Jin Xiaoyuan heard this, he immediately took the bidding button and said decisively: “Oh, this is all a small amount of money, this one counts on me, it’s a meeting gift for my girlfriend of Twilight Star!”

“Isn’t it just to please the little beauty?” Jin Xiaoyuan was quite bold, “You guys are rare to come and play, don’t care if it’s worth it!”

Jin Xiaoyuan directly enters the high price.

“50 million! Number 1134 is now 50 million!” The female auctioneer’s eyes flashed with shock, and her voice fluctuated. She did auction a lot of high-priced bids, but she has never seen the quotations exceed the market price so much.

Everyone present was in an uproar, and they didn’t understand the preciousness of No. 1134.

“What kind of stone is this? Did I miss it yesterday?”

“What? It is said that the one sitting on it is Lao Jin…”

“Hey, he, why come to the stone circle to mess around again, what is this new way of showing off wealth?”

Jin Xiaoyuan has always been a nouveau riche. He has been arrogant and domineering in G City for too long, and often does unthinkable things, which makes the people around him accustomed to it. It’s not that other people can’t get the money out, but they won’t buy stones inexplicably and use such an exaggerated method to show their financial power.

This will make people feel a bit vulgar.

But Jin Xiaoyuan enjoys the feeling of being surrounded by vulgarity.

Jin Xiaoyuan found that the other party hadn’t immediately followed the price this time, and said triumphantly: “Is buying a big brand to buy the bad quality? What is bought is a brand, and what is bought is worth, who really takes things seriously!”

Chu Qianli suddenly realized: “After learning what I learned, it turns out that a bully…no, it turns out that rich people think so.”

Inside the room, Shi Zhuoqu saw the outrageous bidding, his face was frosty and his heart was irritable, and he said coldly: “Is he United Rosya deliberately raising the price?”

He now suspects that Rosia learned of this, this is to ask the nurse to bid with them. The higher the transaction price of the auction item, the higher the revenue of the auction house, so auctioneers sometimes deliberately bid high prices.

“No, if the opposite is Jin Xiaoyuan, he might feel that we are provoking him.”

“What do you mean?” Shi Zhuoqu condensed his eyebrows, “He thinks we are bidding to slap him in the face?”

“… understandable.”

“…”

Shi Zhuoqu was tasked to recover the rough stone. He didn’t understand why he got involved in showing off his wealth to the upstart. Although all bidders pay security deposits when they enter the market, if the price is too high, a certificate of replenishment of funds is required. Now 50 million is already on the verge of the threshold.

He can indeed continue to bid, but if the transaction price is too high, it seems that he is incapable. People who work in the auction house are cut leeks by other auction houses. What is it like?

Shi Zhuoqu became cautious, and his rate of increase became smaller.

“55 million! Is anyone else increasing the price? 55 million for the first time…”

Jin Xiaoyuan stretched out his hand and pressed the key. He insisted on getting a face in front of Tan Muxing, and mocked: “Why not!?”

“60 million! 60 million!”

Tan Muxing saw that Jin Xiaoyuan’s blood was on his head, and he kindly persuaded him: “Uncle Jin, it’s almost good, it’s almost good…”

Chu Qianli: “That’s it, don’t make leeks.”

Jin Xiaoyuan: “I am not a leek, I just want to see if he dares to add it!”

“… Leeks say that they are not leeks.”

“62 million! 62 million!” The female auctioneer’s voice became louder and louder. She seemed to see her commission, and it was difficult to suppress the excitement in her heart.

Jin Xiaoyuan sneered: “I’m embarrassed to add it!”

“70 million! Now it is 70 million!”

In VIP2 room, Shi Zhuoqu made an upset bid while instructing the people around him, frowning and saying: “It won’t work like this, just make it a pass, don’t let him follow.”

If he spends 70 million to buy back the sample stone, he won’t need to be in the group in the future.

The others immediately took their orders and hurried to operate.

The female auctioneer stared at the small screen on the second floor. With a smile on her face, she reminded again: “Is there anyone else to increase the price? No. 1134 is currently bidding for 70 million.”

The screen in VIP2 room did not light up for a long time.

“70 million for the first time, 70 million for the second time, and 70 million for the third time. Congratulations on your photograph of bid number 1134. The staff will contact you to sign the confirmation letter later!”

The female auctioneer made a heavy blow and announced that the dust of this round of bidding has been settled!

Inside the house, Li Like was confused. He shook his head frequently, and said in sorrow: “What do you buy this for?”

Li Like doesn’t understand the idea of ​​nouveau riche very much, he can’t think of what jewellery No. 1134 can do.

Chu Qianli also didn’t expect Jin Xiaoyuan to bid fiercely, and said in a daze: “This one piece is worth a lot of armillary spheres…”

Tan Muxing whispered: “Uncle Jin, I’ll pay the money, don’t spend it.”

Jin Xiaoyuan hurriedly said: “Hey, no, we just said that we gave you a chance to show yesterday, and today I will give you the little beauties!”

“This is not appropriate…”

“What’s inappropriate? I think it’s particularly suitable!”

Tan Muxing and Jin Xiaoyuan rejected each other and started a wave of Chinese-style order-grabbing processes, and no one would let anyone else.

Li Like did not see the staff for a long time, and said in doubt: “It’s so slow today? Generally, the confirmation letter will be brought over immediately.”

After a while, the staff knocked on the door apologetically, and she kept bowing when she entered the house, saying, “I’m really sorry, our auctioneer neglected his work just now. The auction price did not reach the seller’s reserve price. It’s a deal, it’s unsold…”

Chu Qianli’s eyes widened and said blankly: “What do you mean? What is the reserve price?”

“It’s the price written by the seller when he entrusts the auction house. If it doesn’t reach the reserve price, there will be no transaction. The auctioneer can’t knock the hammer.” Tan Muxing explained.

Li Like was surprised: “Isn’t 70 million sold?”

“Yes……”

Jin Xiaoyuan was irritated: “But the auctioneer just dropped the hammer!”

The other party bent down and apologized: “I’m really sorry, it is indeed our negligence at work, and I am sorry that it caused you trouble…”

Jin Xiaoyuan unexpectedly encountered this kind of oolong. He flushed with anger and furiously said: “What is this called? I have already filmed it. You deliberately made me embarrassed. My distinguished guests are waiting!”

Jin Xiaoyuan might forget it if he changed to normal times, but when he came over, he was ostentatious, but now he was slapped in public. It would be a shame that he was frustrated with the auction house where Tan Muxing worked at his friend.

“I’m going to call Amin, what kind of service do you break? While he is not fooling me, I’m going to order the stone!”

“Mr. Jin, the auction house can only accept the seller’s entrustment. If the reserve price is not reached, it can’t sell the lot. Mr. Zhang also has no way…”

“Then you tell me who the seller is? Let me ask him to buy the head office in person!?”

“I’m very sorry. Due to the confidentiality agreement, we cannot disclose the client’s private information. The auction house will bear the legal responsibility…”

“Then let’s use a method without legal risk.” Chu Qianli murmured on the spot, “Look at the seller’s thoughts.”

She pinched and counted, but her face was taken aback, and he hesitated: “Huh, but I think the seller is willing to sell it?”

From the perspective of the hexagram, the seller should be satisfied with the transaction price, and now it is more like someone is making trouble.

On the other side, Shi Zhuoqu came out of VIP2. He and his companions took the elevator downstairs and asked, “Is it done?”

“Well, but those people can’t use it anymore, Roja will find out sooner or later.”

“As long as the sample stone can be recovered, these are minor problems.” Shi Zhuoqu frowned. “Today’s affairs are too delayed, and it will be two days later.”

If Jin Xiaoyuan did not bid wildly, Shi Zhuoqu might raise the bid soon. Now the rhythm is disrupted by the nouveau riche, and the time to recover the samples will be delayed.

Of course, Shi Zhuoqu had some misconceptions about Jin Xiaoyuan, that the other party was not a nouveau riche, and more similar to a local snake.

The elevator door opened slowly, and Shi Zhuoqu and others saw the dark big man outside and suddenly realized that something was wrong.

The black-clothed men rushed into the elevator with expressionless faces. They didn’t let Shi Zhuqu and others come out at all, and directly closed the elevator door and let the elevator drive to the fifth floor.

The fifth floor of the auction house is not open to customers, and few people are involved in this area.

Shi Zhuoqu was suddenly blocked by a stranger in the elevator. He couldn’t understand the sudden development of the plot, and said in a daze, “Who are you? I’m going to call the police!?”

“Report to the police? What kind of police? You are suspected of infringing on trade secrets. Hope to cooperate with us and the police in the investigation.”

In the meeting room on the fifth floor, Rusya Auction House was reminded by Chu Qianli that someone had changed the reserve price of No. 1134. The initial reserve price received by the auctioneer did not match the price stored in the computer. It was obvious that someone had been manipulated and somehow turned into a false auction.

The management staff of the auction house repeatedly apologized after learning about it, including Mr. Zhang, who was far away. They were extremely panicked. They did not expect such major loopholes to appear inside. It was obviously a commercial spy in the company.

“Amin, we will help you find a big trouble, don’t you make sense to come back!?”

“Okay, I’ll fly back tomorrow. Brother Jin, don’t worry, what you want must be in the library. I will help you contact the seller at that time…” Mr. Zhang hurriedly said, “The price can also be changed. talk!”

When Jin Xiaoyuan and others encountered such a thing, they also encountered a swindle in a strange way. It is indeed inappropriate to pay another 70 million.

Jin Xiaoyuan dissatisfied: “It’s not a question of money, how bad this thing is!”

“Yes, yes, I know, I must make amends when I come back…”

Chu Qianli heard that the price could still be lowered, and she immediately became happy, and said frankly: “It’s not really bad, it’s okay to come a few times.”

Tan Muxing knew her thoughts well, and he speculated that she would hate it a few times, and he just had an excuse to continue cutting the price down.

“Also, let alone the negligence of the auctioneer’s sister, it is not good for us to leave the people below when we encounter things.” Chu Qianli speaks eloquently. “We are not deceiving others by force. They are all Fa-teachers!”

“Yes, that’s…” Jin Xiaoyuan echoed doglegally, “Aming, this time I am magnanimous and I don’t want to care about you!”

“Okay, I understand, I understand, it is our management problem, I will definitely not be accountable when I come back.”

Jin Xiaoyuan hung up Mr. Zhang’s phone, he looked at the door impatiently, and then raised his legs, complaining: “It’s really slow, it will take them so long to stop someone.”

Li Like had already taken the lead to say goodbye to everyone, and now there were only talks about Twilight Star and others in the room.

Tan Muxing was taken aback for a moment, and said, “Uncle Jin, who are you going to stop?”

Chu Qianli and others are all investigating the streaming, they don’t know when Jin Xiaoyuan will send someone.

“Of course it is the person in the VIP room on the opposite side. This matter is definitely related to that room. I can’t stand this kind of bird air. I have to give him some color…” Jin Xiaoyuan opened his mouth to scold. He faced the ignorant children, suddenly again It’s not easy to reveal his true colors, and he hurriedly changed his words, “No, he must be taught to abide by the law and discipline!”

Chu Qianli continued indignantly: “I originally intended to get along with them as socialist builders, but what I got in exchange was the fool of capitalist price-changing privileges! Stop pretending, we are the big villains, we have a showdown!”

Jin Xiaoyuan: “Yes! That’s the reason!”

Talking about Twilight Star: “…”
