Beauty and the Bodyguard

This kind of thing would probably be very sensational if it were held at an ordinary auction, but if it were placed here, the children of the aristocratic families would obviously not be interested. In the end, it was bought by an ordinary wealthy businessman holding a red invitation, and the price was only fifteen dollars. Ten thousand.

The third collection was the residual picture that Lin Yi had taken a fancy to before. The reserve price was 100,000 yuan. When the auctioneer showed it, there was a brief silence in the venue!

Because the description of the residual map in the album is very brief, and the map lines drawn on it are not clear, so no one knows what this thing is used for. It is said to be an antique, and there is no corresponding appraisal certificate, or even the year of manufacture. nothing! Even if it is not an antique, it is not clear what the purpose of this thing is. It is similar to the hand-drawn map used by bandits in the old society to go up the mountain, and it is still a broken map!

This kind of thing has no substantial value at all. It's okay to sell it to people who don't understand it in the antique market, but it seems a bit awkward to sell it at an auction.

However, there are some strange and weird things that appear at auctions. Although many of them fail to be auctioned in the end, there are still a few pieces every year.

In fact, the auctioneer didn't know what this residual map was, so there was no introduction at all. He just said according to the introduction on the album, this is a weird parchment map, which may be a treasure map of a big treasure. !

Of course, he also said that it was just possible. There were many possible things. You might even pick up a million while walking on the street. Of course, no one would believe such a ridiculous thing!

These children of aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen who come to participate in the auction are not fools. They come here for things that are useful to them. They come here for things that are useless and don’t want them. Naturally, they are too lazy to participate!

The auction is not a vegetable market. If you participate in the bidding, you will have to buy the unwanted items in the end. You cannot regret it casually. Therefore, no one bids for such useless residual pictures.

The auctioneer has encountered this kind of situation before. There are many unsold items, and this one is not missing. So he cleared his throat: "Auction item No. 3, a parchment map, is anyone participating in the bidding?"

"Ha, 110,000!" Fatty Lai raised the sign in his hand: "This thing might be a real treasure, then I'll buy it back and study it!"

Fatty Lai's words attracted doubts and disdain from many people. To be able to find treasures with such a broken map is really a ghost. And Fatty Lai looked like a rich upstart. Knowing him Everyone was wondering why Fatty Lai, a very smart person, bought this junk? Are you trying to stand out? People who don't know him think that Fatty Lai has money but nowhere to spend it, and he is a fool.

"110,000, Mr. No. 183 offered 110,000. Did anyone offer a higher price?" The auctioneer was slightly startled, but it was good to have people participating. Although it was only 110,000, there were also some Twenty percent of the commission goes to the auction house. Even though mosquitoes are small, they are still meat!

"One hundred and ten thousand for the first time... One hundred and ten thousand for the second time..." The auctioneer looked at the people present, hoping that someone else would raise the price, but unfortunately, no one raised the price.

These children of aristocratic families are not fools. They will never bid for a useless thing, not to mention that they may even become enemies with the bidders! Those who can come here to participate in the auction put their interests first. No one is willing to do this kind of thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

If you are of no use to yourself, then simply don’t participate and leave it to those who are useful. But if it is useful to me, I will definitely get into a fight, but disruptive bidding rarely occurs unless the two people have a grudge.

In a corner of the auction house, a man heard someone participating in the bidding, his face tightened obviously, and he said into the headset next to his mouth: "Second uncle, do you need me to increase the price?"

"The person on the other side seems to be very cautious. I don't know whether he wants it or not." A middle-aged man's voice came from the headset: "Let's add a symbolic ten thousand to twenty thousand and see."

"Okay!" the man responded after hearing this. When the auctioneer said "110,000 for the third time," he raised the sign in his hand and said, "120,000!"

"Oh? It seems like this is a good thing, so I have to increase the price!" Fatty Lai glanced at the person holding the placard in surprise, and before the auctioneer could speak, he stood up and said, "One hundred and twenty-five thousand! "

"Huh?" Everyone present was stunned. Originally, when they saw someone bidding, they were still wondering whether this parchment scroll was a good thing. But after hearing Fatty Lai's words, they secretly understood that it was because of Fatty Lai's bid. The way you know is that he is not destined to win! Otherwise, how could anyone offer such a price? Just like being a rogue?

Although the rule for increasing the price of items with a base price of 100,000 yuan is at least 5,000 yuan each time, few people increase it like this. They always increase the price by 11,000 yuan. Fatty Lai's increase in price only shows that he wants such things or not. , if someone competes with him, he will add one more symbolically. If the other party adds too much, he will just let it go.

Therefore, no one is interested in participating. Participating now would be tantamount to enmity. It’s up to these two people to perform.

"Second uncle, what does he mean?" the man holding the sign asked hesitantly.

"I don't know. Just give me another five thousand. If he adds more, just give up." The middle-aged man said.

"One hundred and thirty thousand!" The man raised the sign in his hand.

"One hundred and thirty-five thousand!" Fatty Lai twisted his big butt and held up the sign.

"Give up!" the middle-aged man said, "Find someone to investigate his background!"

"Okay." The man said without holding up the sign again.

"One hundred and thirty-five thousand for the first time, one hundred and thirty-five thousand for the second time, one hundred and thirty-five thousand for the third time, deal done!" The auctioneer made the final decision, and those who wanted to watch the excitement were also a little disappointed!

The person who bid with Fatty Lai before was obviously doing it for fun and had no intention of taking pictures. Fatty Lai probably had the same intention and was just taking pictures for fun.

Therefore, no one would have thought that the residual picture could be a good thing. After seeing Fatty Lai seal the deal, he showed no expression of joy at all, and was even more sure that he was just taking pictures for fun, not because he was really determined to win. .

"Congratulations to Mr. No. 183 for bidding on this parchment scroll at a price of 135,000. A staff member will contact you later to discuss delivery matters." After the auctioneer finished speaking, he continued his introduction. An auction item is coming.

Fatty Lai took a photo of a parchment, but it was just a sideshow. No one paid attention to him anymore, except for the man who bid with him before...
