Chapter 55: Acquaintance
Yu Wan was pulled by Liu Lianfang to the door of a private room.
Before entering the room, Liu Lianfang took a deep breath and said to her, "Don't panic later, just answer whatever is asked."
"Who are the people in there?" Yu Wan was curious.
Liu Lianfang said softly, "Last time I told you..."
The door opened from the inside. Liu Lianfang stopped talking, put on a smile and took Yu Wan in.
There were quite a few people in the private room. To be exact, there were three people sitting and the others were standing aside.
The three people sitting were elderly. One of them sat on the left with his back to her, one sat in the front seat facing the auction venue, and the other sat on the right, facing Yu Wan.
Yu Wan didn't know them.
Just as he was wondering why these people wanted to see him, Liu Lianfang spoke up, "This is my partner, and the one who provided the twenty treasures. Her name is Yu Wan."
This was the reason why Yu Wan was not afraid. Not to mention that Liu Lianfang had already passed the things on, she was the one who took out the treasure, so of course what she said was the truth. Even if others did not believe her, there would be no evidence.
"Yu Wan, this is Mr. Wei, this is Mr. He, and this is Mr. Zhao." Liu Lianfang introduced them to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan was stunned. In a split second, the old man with his back to her turned around. When he saw her, he smiled and said, "I thought we just had the same name. It turns out it's really you?"
Yu Wan quickly came back to her senses and smiled back, "Hello, Mr. Zhao."
The man who had bought the imperial green jade she had opened at the antique market was Mr. Zhao, a very authoritative person in the antique industry. Even the Capital Museum invited him to appraise it.
It turned out that he was the person Liu Lianfang wanted to invite.
But didn’t you say you didn’t invite him?
"Don't stand, sit down and talk." Seeing Yu Wan, Mr. Zhao was very happy and said to his other two companions, "The egg-sized piece of imperial green I bought last time was from this little girl."
Elder Wei and Elder He looked at Yu Wan in surprise. "It turned out to be her. No wonder she was able to come up with twenty treasures. It shows that she is a natural talent in this field."
Yu Wan waved her hands quickly, "It's just luck, not talent."
He Lao laughed and said, "How can I not afford it? Luck is also a part of strength. You don't know that after Lao Zhao bought the Imperial Green from you, someone offered three
He didn't even buy it for 100 million yuan, but deliberately showed off in front of us for a long time, which really pissed me off."
Yu Wan was a little surprised. She didn't expect that the Emperor Green Energy that Mr. Zhao bought from her for 8 million could be worth 300 million.
But she didn't feel cheated at all.
She later checked online and found that the imperial green is indeed valuable, because there are too few real imperial green on the market and ordinary people have no chance to see it.
Those who can afford to wear imperial green are people of status and position.
There was a news report that a super popular star, it is no exaggeration to call him a superstar, once attended an event, wearing a jade pendant slightly larger than a pigeon egg around his neck. It was imperial green jade, and it was said to be worth 100 million.
Her egg-sized imperial green can be used to make many imperial greens of this size, so three hundred million is not a small amount.
But even if it's worth that much, she doesn't care.
No matter how valuable the imperial green is, it needs someone of status to operate it. Otherwise, if she relies on herself, it is not certain whether she can sell it at a good price, and it is not certain whether she can even keep it.
At that time, Yu Xia, whose family ran a jewelry company, was taking advantage of her power to bully others and wanted to buy her imperial green jade with 500,000 yuan.
So if you have some money, just make enough to get by. If you are too greedy, you will end up with nothing.
There was not a trace of regret or remorse on Yu Wan's face, which surprised Mr. Wei and Mr. He.
It's rare for someone so young to be so patient.
When ordinary people hear about such a price difference, I wonder how regretful they would be.
"Girl, when are your twenty treasures going to be on display? Old Zhao is always dazzling us with his imperial green jewelry. We also want to buy a nice piece to decorate our storefront."
Before Yu Wan could say anything, her clothes were gently pulled. She turned to look at Liu Lianfang, who was smiling and not looking at her, but the hand under the table pulled her gently again.
Yu Wan thought about it and guessed something. She smiled and said, "We also want to get our treasures on the market quickly, but something happened and delayed us. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while for the auction to start."
Liu Lianfang's brows relaxed, and Yu Wan knew that she had guessed correctly. She didn't know the identities of the other two old men besides Zhao Lao, but seeing Liu Lianfang's arrogant look as if he didn't dare to show up, and the fact that the other party was in cahoots with Zhao Lao, his identity and status must be extraordinary.
With such a person speaking out, the auction should be able to go on.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, Mr. Zhao asked, "What happened?"
Before Yu Wan could say anything, there was a knock on the door.
Only after getting permission can the door be opened.
The person who came in was a young man in black. He wanted to say something, but paused when he saw two outsiders in the private room.
Mr. Zhao frowned and said, "Just say whatever you want to say. Why are you hesitating so much?"
The man paused for a moment before speaking, "It's like this, someone outside said that this auction should be cancelled."
The three elders came all the way from the Imperial Capital to attend the auction, how could it be cancelled just like that?
Sure enough, the three elders frowned after hearing this.
"What's going on?"
"Who is so arrogant that he canceled the auction that was about to start?"
The man said, "It seems to be the decision of the Provincial Bureau of Culture and Arts."
Mr. Wei slammed the table and said, "This is nonsense! If there was a problem with the auction, it would not have passed the review in the first place. Since it passed, it means it meets the requirements. How can it be cancelled just like that?"
Mr. He also laughed angrily, "I am the one who manages this area. I think the conditions for today's auction are met. Anyone who thinks it is not met, let him come and talk to me."
When the man heard this, he went out.
Mr. Zhao laughed and said, "If today's auction doesn't go smoothly, I will be angry with you."
Mr. He and Mr. Wei were not happy, "You are not allowed to snatch from us today!"
"No, no, I won't bid for anything you like, okay?"
"That's more like it."
Mr. Wei looked at Liu Lianfang and said, "Can we start the auction now?"
Liu Lianfang was already extremely excited and quickly stood up, "I'll go and arrange it and start right away!"
Before leaving, Liu Lianfang gave Yu Wan a look whose meaning was very clear: treat these distinguished guests well.
Yu Wan would have done the same thing even without Liu Lianfang telling her.
Because these distinguished guests happened to be the ones Xiaoyao mentioned.
Just when Yu Wan was struggling with how to speak without sounding rude, Mr. Zhao spoke to her, "Xiao Yu, the twenty treasures you prepared this time are all good stuff. I like them all when I see the pictures. Where did you get so many treasures?"
Mr. Wei and Mr. He were also interested in this question and looked at Yu Wan.
