Chapter 144: Auction, No. 961!
Morning.
Su Wen and Yi Xue first practiced Ti Quan, then Su Wen began practicing Shaolin Luohanquan.
Shaolin Arhat Fist is derived from the eighteen arhats of Shaolin, with a total of 18 moves, mainly attacking, with sharp and excellent fist techniques. Su Wen can't expose Tai Chi at present, so Arhat Fist is the best disguise. He practiced for a while and was familiar with the fist technique.
Yi Xue hadn't even finished cooking yet, when Su Wen started practicing the Yin Yang Harmony Sword Technique again. This was a dual-cultivation sword technique that was exquisite and unparalleled, with many changes and variations. When the long sword was swung out, it was like a rainbow piercing through the sun. If some sword energy could be added to it, it would be even more perfect.
After breakfast, Su Wen and Yi Xue went to Ju Bao Zhai
。
Feng Wanli did not leave Jiangning, he has taken a bottle of thousand-year-old jade dew, and now looks much better.
"Feng family's master is here again, has your injury healed?"
"I took a bottle of Qianyuan Jade Dew and my injuries have healed by 60%," said Feng Wanli. "I heard from Ling'er that you also have Flame Yang Stone and Departing Fire Grass here, how about selling them to me together?"
"Is the master of the Feng family cultivating fire-attribute true energy?" Su Wen asked curiously.
"Not bad, if I can utilize the Flamestone and Fireweed to cultivate a bit more, my chances of winning will be even greater."
"Take it away then!"
"Free?"
"Think beautifully, I'll give you a discount, 1.5 billion!"
"Feng Wanli gritted his teeth: 'I'll take it!'"
Su Wen watched Feng Wanli leave, laughing very happily.
The Feng family doesn't have that much money, and they've already spent 3.5 billion in these two instances. From now on, it won't be so easy for them to buy things from the Treasure Pavilion again.
"It's better if there's no money. Then I can also try making some demands." Su Wen said calmly.
In the afternoon.
Chu Fei has arrived, and Chu Lao has also come together with him.
"Wow, Juba Zhai has really changed a lot!" Chu Fei was very surprised.
"Old Chu, you're back." Su Wen walked up and said, "I heard that this time you went to study the ancient, don't know if there's any gain or not?"
"The tomb of a Tang Dynasty princess, the burial objects are quite rich, but thinking that it has been stolen by someone, I feel uncomfortable." Chu Lao felt some regret.
"Haha, the tomb raiders are too rampant. However, some of them still have a conscience and won't excessively damage the tombs." Su Wen felt a bit embarrassed and made an excuse for himself, anyway Chu Lao didn't know it was him who stole it.
"Maybe"
"This time's burial didn't suffer much damage." Chu Lao thought for a moment.
"Su Wen, I've been standing here for half a day, why are you ignoring me?" Chu Fei was getting angry. She felt like she was being ignored.
"What? Isn't this Chu Fei?" Su Wen pretended to have just noticed him, "How did you get back, is school starting?"
Chu Fei looked at Su Wen's hypocritical appearance and went straight up to the second floor.
"Su Wen, how's the pawnshop lately?" Chu Lao sat down.
"It's going well, everything is developing smoothly." Su Wen smiled, "What are your plans for this trip back, or would you like to stay at Ju Bao Lou and hold down the fort?"
"I'm not going to be your laborer here. The new semester at Jiangning University is about to start, and I have a lot of courses to teach this semester, plus some part-time jobs at other universities. I don't know how busy I'll be then. Oh, and I've also taken on a TV show called "Antique Appraisal", which will probably require me to attend two or three times a month, what a hassle! Chu Lao sighed, "Others get more leisurely as they age, but I'm getting busier the older I get. Alas!"
Su Wen smiled and comforted Chu Lao a few words.
Yi Xue led Chu Fei down from the second floor. The two of them stood together, like a picturesque scene.
"Grandpa, uncle and auntie, why do you want to go abroad for development? Isn't it good in our own country?"
"It's not that things are bad domestically, but they want to set up a branch abroad. This time I came back also for this matter, they still need 100 million in funding, I think it will come from the P2P platform."
"This is no problem, but I still don't suggest that uncle and aunt expand their business abroad. They are in the IT industry, which still has a market domestically. Abroad, whether it's technology or personnel, they can't keep up, plus they're not familiar with the environment over there, making development extremely difficult."
"I don't understand either, let them figure it out themselves!"
"What about Nafei? Is she really going abroad to study, and will she be studying archaeology overseas?"
"According to your uncle's words, let Fei learn some business management skills so that she can inherit their business in the future."
Yi Xue was speechless, what is all this about?
"Faye, what do you think?"
I've already promised my dad to go out with him, I'll be back after I finish reading.
。”
"Suit yourselves, then!"
Su Wen was quite happy to hear that, Chu Fei would not be back for a year or two after leaving this time, and he took the opportunity to take down Yi Xue.
"You seem very happy?" Chu Fei gazed at Su Wen.
"Really?" Su Wen pretended to be puzzled, "Actually, thinking that you're leaving, I'm very sad, really very sad. Haven't you noticed, I almost cried."
"No, I saw you smiling brightly."
"You must be seeing things."
"My eyes aren't blind."
……
Shengshi Auction House, another monthly auction.
"I thought you wouldn't come!" Yang Feixue looked at Su Wen with a hint of anger still on her face.
"It doesn't matter anyway, come and take a look." Su Wen came with Chen Yunhao this time.
Chen Yunhao went in and seemed a bit awkward: "Boss, the auction at Shengshi Auction House is of high quality."
Su Wen said calmly, "Shengshi Auction House is the largest auction house in Huaxia. Can you not see that it's a high-end place? Every time there's an auction, all the items are rare treasures. Some aristocratic families and wealthy merchants are also paying attention to Shengshi Auction House. Look at those people sitting in front of us, most of whom you may have never seen before, but none of them have simple identities."
Chen Yunhao nodded silently, he only now realized that he had been narrow-minded before, the world was much bigger than he had imagined. If he had continued to study in school, he would never have come into contact with these things. Su Wen had brought him into this different world, and he was truly grateful to Su Wen from the bottom of his heart.
The auction is about to begin, and Su Wen's randomly drawn number this time is 9557.
It is obvious that each auction at Shengshi Auction House has a different random number, which also guarantees absolute privacy.
The first item was a can of Godly Beans
。
"Boss, look quickly, it's the auction item we brought out."
"Just take a look, no need to shout."
The old man who hosted the auction simply stated the effects of the Divine Bean, and then started letting people bid.
People kept bidding, from the starting price of 80 million to a sudden surge to 400 million, but it seemed that this was just the beginning. A few people got more and more excited, and in the end, they bid all the way up to 860 million. Su Wen was very calm, but Chen Yunhao was constantly swallowing his saliva. He now knew what it meant to be a rich man - with just one word, it was tens of millions, too domineering.
Then several more items were auctioned off, and the Shenmu Dan appeared.
Su Wen thought that the price of Shenmu Dan would not be too high, but the old man's starting price was 30 million.
"Starting price of 300 million, I don't know what the final transaction price will be?"
"Boss, someone has made an offer and directly raised it to 50 million. He's trying to take down Shenmu Dan all at once!"
As soon as Chen Yunhao's voice fell, someone else quoted a price again.
"100 million!"
"The second bidder has offered 100 million!"
Everyone who participated in the auction was stunned, the price rose so fast, it's terrifying.
"Quote for No. 5566 is 1 billion and 200 million!"
"Quote 1.3 billion for No. 8896!"
"Quote for No. 9663 is 1 billion and 400 million!"
……
"Quote for No. 5566 is 190 million!"
The surroundings were in an uproar, and the final item had yet to be revealed, but the bidding had already reached 1.9 billion, completely unimaginable.
No one else made a bid, but on the screen appeared a line of characters: "Number 961 bids 250 million!"
No. 961, how can it be No. 961?
Isn't the random number supposed to be four digits? What's with this 961?
"My god, this situation is... a gold-level customer has been secretly photographed"
!”
"Am I wrong?! A gold-level client is actually paying attention to Jiangning's Shengshi Auction House!"
"My goodness! Jiangning's Shengshi Auction House is going to be a huge hit!"
The old man looked down at the commotion below and said calmly, "Lot 5566, your current bid is the highest in this auction house. Unfortunately, the Golden Elixir has been eyed by a gold-level client who has placed a dark horse bid of 250 million. If you cannot offer a higher price than that, the final winner of the Golden Elixir will be Lot 961."
A moment of silence, and 5566 did not continue quoting.
The old man announced the result: "Congratulations, No. 961 has won the Shengji Dan."
The old man paused for a moment and said, "Everyone may be encountering this situation for the first time. Let me explain what's going on."
The crowd fell silent, waiting for the old man to speak.
"It is well-known that the clients of Shengshi Auction House are divided into five levels: bronze, silver, gold, platinum and diamond. According to the regulations of Shengshi Auction House, if a client becomes a gold-level client, they can obtain the qualification for remote bidding, which we call "dark bidding". Before the auction is held in any of the 32 Shengshi Auction Houses in Huaxia, all the items to be auctioned will be pushed to clients who are at or above the gold level. If a gold-level or higher client is interested in an item, they can make a bid once. If the final price of the item at the auction house is lower than their bid, this situation will occur."
"The randomly assigned number for the dark bid varies slightly depending on the customer's level. Generally, gold-level customers have three-digit numbers, platinum-level customers have two-digit numbers, and diamond-level customers have one-digit numbers. So, 961 represents a gold-level customer who made a dark bid for the Rejuvenating Elixir!"
Many people were suddenly enlightened, while Su Wen wanted to go find Yang Feixue immediately.
According to the agreement between Juba Zhai and Shengshi Auction House, Juba Zhai enjoys the privileges of a white gold client, so he should also have the qualification for dark bidding.
