The man then gave Qing 'er a phone number and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. We had eyes but failed to recognize you. We didn't know you were a guest. Please come in!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but look at this Miss Jing 'er in a new light. He felt that in this world, everything depended on background and connections. Problems that he couldn't solve himself could be solved with just a phone call from Jing' er. Everything was no longer a problem!
When they went down to the third floor, they immediately smelled the fragrance of wine. Looking down, the spacious space was already filled with people. However, it was different from ordinary auctions. The environment here was very elegant. It was like a cocktail party!
When Lin Feng and the others arrived, a waiter immediately came over to serve wine. Lin Feng also symbolically took a glass. Qing 'er said, "Lin Feng, what do you want to bid for today?"
Jing 'er had already inquired about Lin Feng's background from Chief Wang. She originally thought that Lin Feng was the son of some famous businessman, or the son of a high official. However, Chief Wang told Jing' er that Lin Feng was just an ordinary security guard. He only had the opportunity to enter Chief Wang's courtyard because he saved the plane and became a hero.
So now Jing 'er was a little suspicious. This kind of auction was not a roadside stall. There was absolutely no bargain. Any auction item had a starting price of more than a million, and there were quite a few items with a starting price of more than a hundred million!
And as an ordinary security guard, Lin Feng couldn't possibly have such a strong background, right?
"Ahem, I don't have any goals. I'm just here to look around." Lin Feng felt a little guilty. He came today to see if he would meet people from Zhou Changgui's family. He didn't come for the auction at all!
The starting price of the membership card for this auction was 980,000 dollars. Those who could enter this place were either rich or respectable. Naturally, many people were familiar with Jing 'er. Soon, a few people came over to greet her.
Lin Feng took the opportunity to quickly slip away. He found a table in the corner and sat down. There were already two people sitting at this table. They were chatting leisurely. Lin Feng sat down and attracted their attention!
A young man pushed his glasses and looked at Lin Feng. He said, "My dear friend, who are you? How come I've never seen you before?"
"My … My name is Lin Feng. It's my first time here." Replied Lin Feng indifferently.
Another young man nodded thoughtfully and thought to himself, It seems that this person is a new member. After all, there are many people who want to join this auction, and it is normal to change new blood frequently!
The two of them instinctively felt a sense of superiority towards Lin Feng, who was a newcomer. They immediately said, "Brother Lin, have you heard? I heard that there's an item that's going to be auctioned this time. It's being auctioned for a starting price of one hundred million!"
Lin Feng couldn't help but gulp. The starting price was one hundred million. That was way too expensive. What kind of treasure could be so expensive?
"Have you ever heard of such a treasure?" asked Wang Yuan. Lin Feng didn't have the slightest doubts.
"I heard it's an ancient treasure that was bought from the M Nation. It's called the Double Doll or something," another man explained.
"What?" Wang Yuan immediately cried out in surprise, scaring the two young men. Lin Feng hurriedly nudged Wang Yuan with his leg and explained, "Don't mind it. We were just shocked by the price of one hundred million. If it's so expensive, it must be a peerless treasure!"
The two young men couldn't help but have black lines on their faces. They cursed in their hearts. His reaction arc was really too slow. He was only surprised after talking for so long!
In order to ease the awkwardness, Lin Feng changed the topic and said, "Who is the owner of this auction?"
"What? You don't even know who the owner is? Tsk tsk tsk, how did you even get in? This is the private auction of the wealthy Mr. Zhou Changgui in the capital. My dad and Mr. Zhou have been good friends for many years. "The young man didn't forget to try to get closer to Lin Feng.
Lin Feng nodded and pretended to flatter him, "It seems that brother's family is also illustrious. Mr. Zhou is such a rich man. His friends must also be rich!"
This flattery made the young man smile. His impression of Lin Feng improved a lot. He took out a name card and handed it to Lin Feng, "Brother Lin, my name is Su Dinghua. Let's keep in touch in the future and get rich together."
Lin Feng took it but was a little embarrassed. He didn't have a name card at all. What should he do?
Wang Yuan saw the awkward situation and hurriedly took out his name card and handed it to the young man, "I am … I am Mr. Lin's driver. Today Mr. Lin attended a few chambers of commerce and used up the postcards. I'll give you more next time …"
The young man took Wang Yuan's name card. At that moment, he couldn't help but value Lin Feng even more. The young man in front of him was about the same age as him but he was already attending chambers of commerce every day. He, on the other hand, was just a prodigal son!
At that moment, he suddenly heard a burst of applause from outside. A few people walked in. Lin Feng looked over and his face instantly darkened. He didn't expect them to be Zhou Changgui and Zhou Pengbo! The two of them were surrounded by people.
Naturally, they didn't notice Lin Feng and Wang Yuan hiding in the corner. After walking on the stage, Zhou Changgui cleared his throat and said, "Thank you for your support. This humble servant's private auction has been held no less than a hundred times. Every time, there are good things to show and I have provided everyone with the opportunity to display and collect them. Today, this humble servant is deeply grateful for everyone's support. Just now, I had some personal matters to deal with, so I was delayed for a while. Let's hurry up and start, shall we?"
The people below immediately applauded and cheered. Zhou Changgui gave Zhou Pengbo a look. Zhou Pengbo immediately went into a room on the side. After a while, he came out with a plate covered with a piece of red cloth.
After putting the plate on the table, Zhou Changgui smiled mysteriously. Then, he slowly lifted the red cloth. The people below the stage immediately exclaimed!
Lin Feng looked and saw a ring on a crystal stand. The ring was inlaid with a huge diamond the size of a pinky nail!
Although Lin Feng wasn't interested in this kind of thing, he knew it must be very valuable!
"Everyone, please calm down. Now, I will invite the internationally famous gem appraiser, Mr. Johnson, to tell everyone about the origin of this ring," Zhou Changgui said.
Then, a westerner with a full beard came up. He was dressed in a suit and looked refined. After he got on the stage, he began to explain in fluent Chinese. Lin Feng couldn't help but look at the ring again. He didn't expect this ring to be worn by the old Buddha statue.
No matter who wore it, Lin Feng absolutely wouldn't have any thoughts about it. Lin Feng's mind was on the puppet!
At that moment, Wang Yuan was even more nervous. His palms were already sweating. Originally, he wanted to quickly leave and report to his superiors. Unfortunately, Zhou Changgui came at that moment, giving Wang Yuan no chance to slip away!
Wang Yuan looked at the notification on his phone that there was no signal. He was really depressed. It seemed that the auction was arranged in the third basement level to cut off contact with the outside world!
The starting bid for the ring was five million. As soon as the starting bid was announced, someone immediately shouted, "Six million!"
Then, another person said, "Eight million!"
The bids went up one by one, and very soon, it had exceeded 15 million. At this time, there were only two people left who were bidding. Obviously, they had come prepared and were determined to win the bid!
In the end, the ring was successfully won by one of them for 10 to 20 million. The people below the stage immediately applauded.
Then, a variety of things were auctioned. There was an ancient sword, a painting, and a pair of porcelain bottles. The basic price was set at more than 10 million. Lin Feng was a little dumbfounded. He didn't expect the people here to be so generous. It seemed that China had really become rich!
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's introduce the biggest item of this auction. I'm sure all of you already know what it is. As this cultural relic is too bizarre, we haven't decided on its name yet. Let's call it the Double Doll for the time being. It's said that this treasure came from the M nation …" After Zhou Changgui excitedly introduced the item, he finally lifted the red cloth for the last time!
When the red cloth was lifted, Lin Feng and Wang Yuan both clenched their fists. Wasn't this the pair of puppets that had been stolen in the M nation?
"The starting bid for this double puppet is 100 million. Each increment is 10 million. I hope that interested friends will enthusiastically bid …" After the sound of the hammer, someone immediately raised his sign and said, "130 million!"
Lin Feng hurriedly looked at the person who made the bid. This person was really generous. He directly increased the bid by 30 million. However, although Lin Feng had gone to the M nation to receive this ancient treasure, he still didn't know what it was used for!
As for what the Native Chief said about it falling from the sky, Lin Feng had always been skeptical. After all, if it really was a Chinese ancient treasure, how could it have come from outer space?
Of course, Lin Feng also had another thought. Back in the Native American tribe, Lin Feng had personally touched this pair of puppets. At that time, he had felt the Qi of the Yan Huang Sutra. Therefore, Lin Feng very much suspected that this thing was transformed from the Yan Huang Sutra in his body!
After all, his body had collapsed on the way back to Earth from the Eight-Way War Realm. Many of the things stored in his body had turned into fallen objects that had invaded Earth. If that was the case with the two dolls, Lin Feng would never let them fall into the hands of others!
Someone was still bidding. The price had already reached 150 million. Lin Feng had been thinking about how to get his hands on the puppet when he heard Zhou Changgui suddenly say, "Ladies and gentlemen, this auction has to stop here. Due to an emergency, the auction has to be canceled!" Zhou Changgui's voice suddenly rang out.
