Zhao Xukun immediately understood what Xu Peixiao meant by the gambling king's son. He was now very curious about two points. The first was which Li family this son of the Li family belonged to.
The other one is the son of the gambling king. The one who came this time is the third son of the gambling king’s fourth wife, Mr. He. After a few years, this young man returned to China and participated in a variety show, which made him famous all over the country and slapped countless people in the face. It turned out that children from rich families are so hardworking and talented. If it is Mr. He who came today, Zhao Xukun would like to get to know him.
"Mr. Xu, may I ask, is this the Li family, Hong Kong's richest family?"
Zhao Xukun, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke and asked.
"Um, who is this...?"
"Oh, Mr. Xu, this is my friend, Mr. Zhao!"
"Oh, so it's one of us."
"Mr. Zhao, the one coming here isn't the Li family, the richest family in Hong Kong Island, but the Li family, the second richest family in Hong Kong Island."
All he heard was the Li family. In Hong Kong, Qin Fen only knew a little about the Li family that was once the richest family in the country. He had never heard of the second richest family. He was completely confused.
Zhao Xukun knew very well. He also knew who the second son of the Li family that Xu Peixiao was talking about. He also knew how high the status of this Li family in Hong Kong was, which was no less than that Li family.
The son of the gambling king of Australia, just the name of the gambling king of Australia made Qin Fen stunned. His parents made their fortune in Australia, how could he not have heard of the reputation of this legendary figure? He had been influenced by him since he was a child, and he also knew from his parents' mouths that this gambling king was a famous collector of antiques and treasures.
"Mr. Xu, the Li family's second son and the gambling king's son are both here. Will this affect the outcome of my auction today?"
Qin Fen asked curiously.
Qin Fen hadn't figured out which son of the Li family had come at this time, so he had always regarded the most important figure this afternoon as the son of the richest man in the Li family. Qin Fen was also aware of how wealthy the Li family was. In addition, the son of a heavyweight figure had come. Any one of them could easily reach his level with a wave of their fingers.
If the treasure that this young master came to bid for today was the same one that I liked, then I would definitely not be able to win the bid against him, and this trip would have been in vain.
"Oh, Master Qin, don't be afraid or worried. This Master Li is bidding on something that doesn't conflict with the treasure you're bidding on. I've received reliable information. He's here for one reason: that Ming Dynasty painting."
"Judging from the situation today, not many people will compete with the young master of the Li family to bid for this painting."
"So, Mr. Qin, you can rest assured that the item you want to bid on does not conflict with the item the young master of the Li family wants to bid on. I can guarantee this."
"Also, Mr. He, although I don't have much inside information, based on the gambling king's collection hobbies over the years, most of them are antiques. Today's bidding will not be too different, so he should still be going for antiques."
After hearing what Xu Peixiao said, Qin Fen finally felt relieved.
"That's good, that's good, that's good."
Qin Fen drank some water to relieve his tension.
Just as a few people were chatting, a young man in a suit and tie walked in from the gate, surrounded by a few people in front and behind.
Some middle-aged people in the venue personally held wine glasses, walked towards the young man with smiles, and greeted him proactively.
It was obvious that the young man who was greeted by many people in the venue was the second son of the Li family mentioned by Xu Peixiao. As soon as Mr. Li entered the venue, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became different.
"Here he is, the second son of the Li family, Li JC."
"Mr. He is here too, still following Mr. Li's footsteps. Interesting."
Xu Peixiao introduced.
Qin Fen, Xie Shao, Ke Zeyu, Zhao Xukun, Chu Shanyan and others turned their heads to look at the two young men who had just arrived.
Soon after, the gambling king's son, Mr. He, followed in. The arrival of the two famous young masters in the Hong Kong and Macao area made everyone present very busy for a while. They had to receive Mr. Li and Mr. He at the same time, and had to take care of both.
Zhao Xukun glanced at the son sent by the gambling king. It was not the third son of the fourth wife, but another one. At the same time, there was a very charming woman beside him, probably Mr. He’s lover, Mrs. He.
The two young masters were led by the staff in the venue to sit in their seats. People of their level were basically assigned the first row of the venue, along with several other respected seniors in the Hong Kong and Macao community.
The others took their seats in turn according to the seats already arranged by the venue staff. Zhao Xukun did not sit with Qin Fen and others. Instead, he was arranged in a very inconspicuous corner, and Chu Shanyan sat next to him.
Qin Fen and others were also arranged to sit at the very back. This kind of seating arrangement was quite normal. Although Qin Fen was very famous in the inland, people in Hong Kong and Macao had never heard of him because his reputation was not loud enough in their circle. In the inland, except for a few people who had been on the richest list and had some reputation, the others were basically unknown.
The people in the audience sat down one by one. A charming woman in her thirties, wearing a red cheongsam, walked onto the auction table. She held the manuscript in one hand and the microphone in the other, and introduced the antiques that would be auctioned this afternoon.
After these introductions, the auction officially begins.
"Everyone, the first item in this auction is this Ming Dynasty painting 'Ten-Sided Map'. The starting price is nine million!"
"Two million per bid. Please start bidding!"
It was obvious that this painting was not what Qin Fen wanted, nor was it what Zhao Xukun wanted. Many people in the audience did not dare to raise their placards to bid. They knew in their hearts that the young master of the Li family was determined to get this painting today, and there was no need for them to offend him. If they offended the Li family, they would be offending their own future. They were not stupid, and they just sat there silently, waiting for the young master of the Li family to bid.
"Eleven million!"
Below the stage, the gambling king's son, Mr. He, raised a sign and said calmly.
"Eleven million, first time!"
