Chapter 348 Auction
When several people heard the word "auction", they laughed meaningfully.
A Chinese staff member who had been paying attention to the movements of the few people curled his lips and said, "It's really boring to have nothing to do. I just want to embarrass others when I have nothing to do."
"What's wrong?"
Jiang Cheng walked over, and the person next to him whispered in Chinese: "They are going to embarrass us at the auction."
"I have anticipated this, so I am not afraid. When water comes, I will block it with earth, and when the enemy comes, I will meet them."
"Um."
The person next to him hummed and continued looking at the few people.
She knows lip reading.
Not only does he know lip reading, he is also a lip reading interpreter who knows several foreign languages.
This time, Jiang Cheng also got to know the various talents of the motherland.
In front of such a group of people, Jiang Cheng didn't even dare to say that he was a genius.
Because they all are.
An hour after the dinner continued, the auction officially began.
Everyone was invited to take a seat and the auction host came on stage.
"Hello everyone, I'm Jenny, the auctioneer for this auction."
"First of all, I would like to thank all the guests who donated the auction items. All the proceeds from this auction will be used for children's vaccination. Your kind deeds will help many children and families."
"Next, please bring up our first auction item. This is donated by the organizer, Mr. Irwin."
Following the auctioneer's words, the etiquette lady came up with the auction items on a cart.
At this time, a young lady who knew lip reading was sitting on Jiang Cheng's left, and a larger sister who was a micro-expression expert was sitting on his right.
The two were speaking in different dialects into Jiang Cheng's ear.
"A vase from the Qing Dynasty."
"This time, it's most likely that these are our Chinese goods. They want to humiliate us into spending money to buy our own goods."
Jiang Cheng's eyes were slightly stern.
Being a thief, I am proud of it.
Jiang Cheng's brain accurately captured information from both sides. As the auctioneer lifted the red cloth covering the auction item, a vase with exquisite Chinese craftsmanship appeared in front of everyone.
Wearing gloves, the auctioneer began to display the vase from all angles, explaining its origin and value, and also produced authentication certificates from several antique collectors.
"The starting price is $5,000. Each bid must be no less than $500. Please bid."
The bidding begins.
The control group was the first to raise the sign, and added a nonsense sentence: "It's just right to buy it back for flower arrangement."
The control group offered $6,000.
The h control group that dropped the card looked towards Hua Xia, trying to provoke Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng glanced back provocatively, raised his sign, and calmly shouted, "Seven thousand dollars."
Party H smiled and held up a sign saying, "Eight thousand dollars."
Before Jiang Cheng raised his sign, other families came to join in the fun. After a few seconds, the price of the vase was raised to $10,000.
Jiang Cheng raised the sign again without hesitation.
"One hundred and one thousand dollars."
The vase is only worth about $10,000, and Jiang Cheng makes almost no profit at the current price.
hThe control group and other parties obviously knew about it, but their pleasure was to raise the price so that the Chinese party would pay a high price to buy back their things.
h was the first to raise the sign.
"Twelve thousand dollars."
"I'll join in the fun. Thirteen thousand dollars."
"Then I'll take fourteen thousand dollars."
The price continued to rise until it reached eighteen thousand dollars.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth and raised the sign again.
"Twenty thousand dollars!"
After it suddenly rose to 20,000, Jiang Cheng smiled confidently.
"Twenty-one thousand dollars!" h control group raised the sign again, this was his last time.
The people on Jiang Cheng's left and right touched her legs at the same time. Jiang Cheng understood that this was a signal.
The two sisters around me analyzed that this was a signal that the other party would not bid.
In that case….
Jiang Cheng showed an unwilling expression, glared at the H control group, snorted coldly, and hesitated several times whether to raise the sign.
hThe control group was all anxious, why was she still not getting an erection?
Don’t they consider China’s honor more important than anything else?
"Twenty-one thousand dollars for one time, twenty-one thousand dollars for two times..."
The h control group was so angry that their butts were about to lift up. Why did he spend so much money to buy a vase?
"Twenty-one thousand dollars for three times! Deal, congratulations."
With a clang, the hammer fell.
The deal is done.
H Fang stared at Jiang Cheng, who was very angry and was comforted by the people on both sides.
h party was suspicious, could it really be a coincidence?
That’s right, China probably doesn’t have much money.
No mistake, just one song, one post, one content, one look!
Anyway, the first auction item is over and the second one is coming up.
The bracelet was donated by a female guest, and the party ended smoothly and with normal competition.
The third item that comes next is another Chinese item, a golden toad.
The host on the stage described the golden toad's skills as being so exquisite and rare. Jiang Cheng and others were chuckling below: Isn't it just a burial object for the dead? It sounds so mysterious.
A new round of competition began, and prices continued to rise. This time it was not the h control group, but another country. The prices were not inflated, but just a little higher than usual.
Just when everyone thought that Huaxia was going to raise a sign, Huaxia became quiet again.
The thing falls into the hands of the other party.
Several parties who wanted to cheat China began to doubt their strategies.
What is going on in China?
The control group said tentatively: "Chinese things are so easily given to others."
Jiang Cheng raised his head slowly and said, "We have a rule in China. If you see someone stealing something, you can take action, call the police, or do many other things, but you can't buy it back with money."
"Of course, if the thief has the conscience to return it, we are still willing to give him a cup of tea."
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, many people present looked unhappy.
There were too many people who took things from China back then.
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, he leaned back in his chair calmly. For every Chinese exhibit that was brought up next, no matter how others provoked or implied, Jiang Cheng would not take action.
But in order to give face to the organizer, the items cannot be left unsold or sold at a low price.
In the end, every Chinese antique at the auction was bought by someone else.
After the auction, Jiang Cheng and his group were blocked.
"Jiang Cheng, I thought you were very brave."
"It seems that Mr. Jiang has no money?"
"You can't even buy things from your own country. You are too accommodating."
…
In the face of sarcasm and ridicule, Jiang Cheng just watched coldly, as if they were not talking about him.
"Are you done?"
"Besides these childish tricks, do you have any practical solutions?"
"Even though none of you feel tired, I feel tired of teasing you all."
Jiang Cheng's ridicule made the person on the other side furious.
"Jiang Cheng, no matter how naive we are, at least we have a chance to buy back the equipment! You don't stand a chance at all!"
"That's right, you guys are here to run with me, but you still came. Isn't it pitiful?"
"You can only bear the pity, but don't complain if you are lagging behind."
Jiang Cheng listened calmly and applauded.
"That's a good point. Don't complain when you fall behind. Look for a way out. I hope you still think the same tomorrow."
"By the way, I quite like Chinese antiques."
Jiang Cheng left after he finished speaking, leaving the other group confused.
What is she talking about?
