Chapter 652: Lighting the Sky Lantern

In order not to waste the extremely expensive tea, Zhu Sui drank two pots and asked for another refill.

Fortunately, he refilled my tea and didn't ask for more money.

Otherwise, Zhu Suisui would definitely roll his eyes. This is what a real capitalist is!

Seeing Zhu Suisui like this, Xie Wenlun felt helpless, "That's not necessary. I can't afford two pots of tea."

"How can a spendthrift like you understand that every grain of rice is hard-earned?" Zhu Suisui was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The main reason is that the consumption is too high and the cost-performance ratio is too low.

Think about it this way.

At an auction, even a small one, there would be dozens of people.

Assuming there are fifty people, the lowest consumption would be nearly two million.

Tsk.

Zhu Suisui feels that it is really easy to make money from Hong Kong Islanders.

But soon.

Someone sent me a booklet.

Zhu Suisui took a look and saw the words "auction brochure" written on it.

That's quite complete.

Xie Wenlun didn't quite understand this, so he gave the booklet to Zhu Suisui as soon as he got it.

Zhu Suisui took it, opened it and started reading.

The above introduction has its origins.

I might have been interested in these in the past, but today I came here with a purpose, so I naturally didn’t look at anything else and just started searching through them.

Until the last few pages, I saw the items I wanted to auction.

The starting price is not expensive.

Starting price: 5,000.

In fact, although this thing is considered expensive among medicinal materials, it is not sky-high in price.

According to the market value, it is estimated to be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands at most.

Zhu Sui still has this little bit of money.

But once this thing goes to auction, the price is uncertain.

Now that I think about it, there was someone who specifically approached Xie Wenlun and wanted to pay this money. That would prove something, and maybe there would be someone else who would compete with me.

At least this thing wasn't obtained so quickly.

Why did Zhu Suisui think this way? She just felt that this matter was strange.

Someone had led her to this auction: that mysterious woman.

Zhu Suisui didn't know the motives of this mysterious woman, but judging from what she did, it seemed that she wanted to help in the end.

And it is clear that someone wants to harm Grandpa Shou, which means there are two forces competing with each other.

He was implicated by the mysterious woman. If that was the case, Zhu Suisui felt that he would have to see how the situation unfolded.

She didn't have very good expectations for this auction.

Xie Wenlun, who was standing by, came over to take a look and sighed, "This medicine is not expensive. I can treat you with 5,000 yuan."

He took a sip of the tea in his hand and said, "This tea costs 38,000 yuan, and this medicine is only 5,000 yuan. I thought it was some rare item. You are so short of money that you have to sell your land. Now look, you are just scaring yourself."

Zhu Suisui shook his head, "Don't be too optimistic."

If it was really not worth the price, it would not be sent here for auction.

Someone must have done this on purpose.

Xie Wenluan felt that Zhu Suisui was being too cautious. "How can this medicine be so expensive? I think you are just worrying about nothing."

Zhu Suisui flipped the booklet forward, pointed at each item and introduced them to Xie Wenluan, waiting for everyone to finish looking through them.

She finally spoke, "Did you see anything?"

Xie Wenlun opened his mouth and said, "Wow, the things here are really worth a fortune. The starting price is several million."

"Yes, the things here are all rare treasures, but the starting price of a medicine is five thousand. Don't you think it's strange?"

When Zhu Sui was in Hong Kong Island, he actually asked about this kind of medicine a lot.

Although it is precious, it is not impossible to have it.

It may be hard to find one in China, but in Hong Kong Island, that may not be the case, as long as you have money.

Zhu Suisui asked Jiang's father to help look for it, but the result was that the medicine on the market had been sold out in the previous month and was not available in Hong Kong Island.

Now think about it, all these medicines are probably here.

Five thousand dollars is just the starting price. No one knows how much it will cost in the end.

Xie Wenlun was not really stupid. After hearing this, he quickly understood. His expression inevitably became more serious. "You are right. There must be something fishy going on."

Zhu Suisui saw that he had reacted, which meant that he was not that stupid.

She looked at the people in the venue, but unfortunately each private room was blocked by a curtain. She could only see the location of the items being auctioned, but could not see other people.

The privacy here is quite strong.

Think of this.

Zhu Suisui added, "Also, the places where the other items came from are marked, but the one I want is not marked."

This is also a questionable point.

Under these circumstances, how could Zhu Suisui be optimistic?

Xie Wenlun looked around but couldn't see anyone she knew, and of course no one else could see where they were.

He said, "We can only take it one step at a time."

Zhu Suisui thought so too.

The auction will begin soon.

Xie Wenlun took a seat, but he didn't have much money to spend.

Every time an antique came out, he would go over and ask Zhu Suisui.

Zhu Suisui shook his head, "Not worth it."

The stuff is good, but Xie Wenlun is not in the antique circle. If he really wants this kind of stuff, Zhu Suisui can find a way to get something similar by going to a few places.

It will be better to sell it to Xie Wenluan later than spending hundreds of millions here.

Xie Wenlun thought about it and realized that this was the truth, so he gave up the idea of ​​buying and selling.

Concentrate on watching the show.

Xie Wenlun actually guessed the identities of some people.

Seeing that he was talking with great interest, Zhu Suisui complimented him, "You have a good memory. There are so many celebrities in Hong Kong Island, and you can recognize people by their voices."

"Of course, not only that, I also found something interesting." Xie Wenlun said seriously.

Zhu Suisui glanced at him.

"What is it?"

Xie Wenlun chuckled, "It's not a big deal, but I noticed that apart from us, the person opposite us didn't raise a sign to bid. It seems that the good stuff is in the back."

Or, like them, you came here specifically for something.

Hearing this.

Zhu Suisui frowned and looked across.

The curtains were drawn, and no one could be seen at all.

However, I could vaguely see that there seemed to be a person sitting opposite me, and it seemed to be a man.

I can barely make out a little bit of the outline.

Zhu Suisui narrowed his eyes slightly.

I hope it's not what I think.

Auctions can be boring. If you don’t find what you want, you just have to watch others go through the process. After a long time, Xie Wenlun even started yawning.

Since Zhu Suisui noticed the person opposite him, he found that it was just as Xie Wenlun said, the person opposite him had never raised a sign once.

Finally.

Now it’s time to get the medicine that Zhu Suisui wanted.

After the host finished the introduction and announced the starting price, Zhu Suisui put out his sign.

At this moment.

The person on the opposite side followed closely and held up a sign.

If you hold up a sign here, you will get an extra thousand each time.

Zhu Suisui had a bad feeling in his heart and just hoped that the other party didn't want to snatch the medicine from him, but wanted it because he thought the medicine was cheap.

As long as they are not related to Grandpa Shou’s affairs.

Even if they each took half after finally getting the medicine, Zhu Suisui felt that both parties were willing.

This process is even slower and more boring.

After he raised it a few times, the person on the other side seemed to be annoyed and said calmly, "Fifty thousand."

Zhu Suisui had a bad feeling in her heart, but she still added one thousand more.

The man continued lazily, "One hundred thousand."

The other party is adding fifty thousand and fifty thousand!

Zhu Suisui didn't even have time to feel sad about the price because he was already a little overwhelmed.

She was determined to get the medicine.

She now has more than one million yuan in her hand, which is enough for her to bid.

Zhu Suisui didn't raise the price by much, just one thousand. The other party tried to snatch it from her, and Zhu Suisui simply hated the other party.

But that's how it is.

When the number reached one million, it still caused sighs from others.

It's not that the people present didn't have the money, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that this medicine was not worth that much money.

This is more like raising the price.

Zhu Suisui even suspected that this person was a hired help by the organizer.

It's not impossible.

Judging from the situation, the man opposite me is going to compete with me all the time.

Xie Wenlun, who was standing by, was cursing angrily, "You idiot! You dare to compete with me? You are really asking for your life. Believe it or not, I will just light a sky lantern."

Light a sky lantern?

Zhu Suisui was unfamiliar with this term, so while holding up the sign, he looked at Xie Wenlun and asked.

"What do you mean by lighting a sky lantern?"

Xie Wenlun saw that there were still things Zhu Suisui didn't understand, so he quickly introduced them to others.

"Lighting sky lanterns is a rule of auction houses. Some auction houses have it, but some auctions don't. Today's auction has it. Have you seen the lanterns in our box? As long as they are hung outside, it means that we want something and we must get it. No matter how much others offer, we will outbid them. In this way, no one dares to compete with us. This is called lighting sky lanterns."
