Chapter 413: Not a Violation
Yu Zhan ignored the young man because his phone buzzed and he looked down at his WeChat.
After reading the information, he looked behind him and saw a number plate that was raised and shaking slightly. No one would pay attention to these subtle details.
Yu Zhan smiled and asked the auctioneer,
"As long as I'm the one who buys "Innocence", it won't be considered a violation, right?"
The auctioneer was stunned and nodded blankly, "Yes." The auctioneer believed that Yu Zhan and Liu Lan were not in collusion. After so many years as an auctioneer, he could tell who was buying for real and who was pretending to buy at a glance. He could feel Yu Zhan's strong desire to buy.
But the problem is that the current bid is still 100,000 away from the target price of 450,000. Who will bid for it after such a mess? The deal is bound to fail, and Liu Lan will not be able to clear her grievances even if she jumps into the Yellow River. Moreover, this accusation will seriously affect the bidding for her next two works, not to mention her future reputation in the calligraphy world.
The auctioneer began to worry about Liu Lan.
Su Yi and Fang Huaiyuan, who were further away, also felt that the matter was difficult. With so many people watching, they had no way to help Liu Lan bid. Plus, the media were broadcasting live here. If they were recognized by acquaintances, wouldn't that further confirm the accusation that Liu Lan was maliciously raising the price?
Yu Zhan was much calmer than the indignant young man and the authors who had objections. He said to the authors, "If you have any objections, why don't you wait until the auction is over before raising them with us? There are so many media reporters here, all of whom are witnesses, and we can't run away. Why are you in such a hurry to disrupt the order of the scene now? Aren't you afraid that some camera will capture your faces?"
...
...
His words were gentle but powerful, and carried a bit of momentum. Those who were shouting suddenly stopped and subconsciously covered their faces.
The young man was unmoved and stared at him. He had already risked everything! If he dared to protest on stage, he would be mentally prepared to be blacklisted by this auction company. The young and energetic man was a little arrogant and thought that he could make a name for himself in the future without relying on this auction company.
As if Yu Zhan just remembered the young man at this moment, he said to the security guard who was restraining the young man, "Thank you, please let him go and let him sit quietly."
The security guard subconsciously let go. It was really strange. Yu Zhan's tone was obviously very polite, but he had the illusion that their hotel manager was ordering him around.
After he let the people go, he suddenly realized that their manager was really there!!! The manager was standing in the last row, nodding and talking to the two men sitting on the chairs.
The security guards were stunned. To them, the manager was an unattainable boss. Every time he appeared, he was so impressive. They always subconsciously lowered their heads when they saw the manager, just like the manager's fawning look now. After all this time, the boss in their eyes was also someone else's little brother!
The young man regained his freedom, but felt very embarrassed because Yu Zhan had not said a word to him from beginning to end and ignored him completely. This was a silent and invisible insult, much more lethal than arguing with him directly.
No one paid any attention to the young man anymore, so he could only find an empty seat and sit down awkwardly.
"It's just a small incident. Please don't mind it. I believe that old customers know the reputation of our company. New customers, please rest assured that our auctions have always been known for fairness and justice. There is absolutely no fraud or price gouging." The auctioneer first cleared the name of his company, and then announced that the auction would continue. He said with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.
"Mr. Yu, No. 9, has already offered 349,000 yuan. This is the second reminder. Are there any buyers willing to bid?"
After what happened just now, no one was willing to bid anymore. Everyone was looking around to see if anyone was holding up a sign. The cameraman turned the camera back to Liu Lan.
Liu Lan frowned slightly, as if her mood was affected. The fans in the live broadcast room felt worried for her and scolded the young man for making trouble because his works could not be sold.
In fact, they were all overthinking. Liu Lan didn't care who the young man was. She was just depressed that she had let Yu Zhan down.
At this moment, a man in the last row raised his number plate. The auctioneer said in surprise, "The gentleman with number 235 raised his plate, once..."
Before Yu Zhan could continue to raise the price, another person raised the number plate, and the auctioneer smiled and said, "Number 247, one time."
At this time, a staff member of the auction company came over with a phone and whispered something to the auctioneer. The auctioneer was a little surprised and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. No. 247, someone just bid before you by phone. He is the buyer by phone No. 34. Since he is not in the capital, he entrusted us to bid on his behalf. Ms. No. 247, would you like to increase your bid?"
The sign with 247 was raised.
