C146 Wounding Person with Flying Stone
Therefore, even if there were hidden dangers, the auction house was willing to bear the risk in order to reap a high profit.
"Ha!" Heh! Young Master Jiang, actually, I have some shares here too. The boss behind this auction house is an old acquaintance of mine, he is very shrewd and steady, that's why he gave me some shares here a few years ago, he also wants to seek some protection from me. "
Qiao Qizhi smiled dryly and whispered in Jiang Chen's ear.
"No wonder, I thought you were well-informed."
Jiang Chen nodded his head secretly. Before the auction, people who wanted to join would be screened layer by layer to prevent enemies from coming in to cause trouble, so Qiao Qizhi knew that Ma Family was coming to participate in the auction!
"Young Master Jiang, let's go in!" The private room is the best seat on the second floor, so I left it especially for you. "
Qiao Qizhi was leading the way at the front. Knowing that Jiang Chen was interested in participating in the auction, he contacted the people here.
Not to mention the best seat on the second floor, even if Jiang Chen wanted to sit on the auction stage, he would only greet him!
As Qiao Qizhi walked into the auction venue, Jiang Chen immediately saw a magnificent scene.
This venue covered an area of nearly a thousand meters, and the interior was decorated in a very high-end manner. Even Jiang Chen, who had been here for the past three years, had only seen decorations of a similar quality as this in the Spring Festival and Cloud Banquet.
"The boss behind this auction house must also be an extraordinary person!" Moreover, there are only a few people who would be able to afford such a huge auction like the Guihai.
Jiang Chen whispered into Qiao Qizhi's ear.
This old acquaintance of mine started out with his Guihai, so he has some feelings towards this place. Hence, he gave up some shares and obtained protection, and also chose to continue running this auction house. In fact, with his current financial strength, this auction house's income can no longer affect his life.
Qiao Qizhi whispered beside Jiang Chen's ear as he explained. At the same time, he sighed in his heart, As expected of the descendant of Jiang Family, his eyes, his thoughts, are detailed to the extreme!
It wasn't without reason that Jiang Family could establish itself as the peak of all the clans in the country. If one couldn't have outstanding descendants, how could one establish themselves as the peak of the world?
As Qiao Qizhi sat down in a box on the second floor, the people from downstairs entered the venue one after another.
Ten minutes later, the auction officially began.
A middle-aged man in a black suit walked up to the auction platform, holding a microphone and said, "Everyone, thank you for coming to tonight's auction, and thank you for your trust and support. No matter if you can leave tonight with your things, I hope you can spend a pleasant night here."
With that, he bowed deeply.
Jiang Chen took a sip of the red wine and nodded. "The quality of this wine is not bad. Its color, taste, and age are all high quality. It should be a specially-made winery with a collection of at least twenty years.
"Ha!" Ha! "What Young Master Jiang said is very true, the red wine and the fruits on the table are all imported from abroad and each bottle of red wine is made by a wine master by hand. However, only the guests in the room can drink such a high quality red wine.
Qiao Qizhi slightly raised his head, looking a little proud.
Jiang Chen felt it was funny. Ever since he met these eight old friends, they all had a strange disease.
He felt like he had to stuff all the good stuff into his arms and it would make him feel better.
He didn't know what he liked. If he stuffed it in, he would be more than happy. If he didn't like it, he would have stuffed it in. But even if he did, it wouldn't be of any use to him!
Jiang Chen did not answer and looked around downstairs.
"Young Master Jiang, you must be looking for someone from Ma Family!"
Qiao Qizhi understood, and said: "The people from Ma Family are in the private room right in front of us, room two is. From us, we can see them, but they can't see us. Our private room is usually used to observe the entire audience, so the materials are specially made, they are all one-way glass."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly and squinted his eyes to look through the glass. The few men and women in room 2 were too far away, so Jiang Chen couldn't clearly see who they were. However, he had a premonition that Ma Enfu was among them.
"Seventh Brother, do you know which item Ma Family is auctioning?"
Jiang Chen asked.1
"I'm not too sure. The buyer would not easily reveal any of the items they are interested in. They are also afraid that someone will maliciously bid for it!"
Qiao Qizhi shook his head and continued: "But this time's auction items are mostly antiques, antique calligraphy and paintings, the Ma Family has no precedent for these items being auctioned, so I think what they are interested in should be some older medicine!"
"Old medicine? What medicine? "
Jiang Chen was stunned, someone from the Ma Family was sick! Why would he be interested in old medicine?
Logically speaking, those who were interested in old medicines should have been Lu Family, even if it wasn't Zhao Family, it seemed that Ma Family …!
Wait, according to Zhao Qing's conjecture, Ma Family was most likely the mastermind behind the countless number of medicinal ingredients robbed from Guihai, so they wanted this ancient medicine, was it something they wanted to do!
I heard that it was found in a ravine. It's an old medicine that's hundreds of years old, but it's a pity that it died due to the drought, or else it would have lived for a few more years. It's said that that the old medicine would have a medicinal property that would transcend the mortal world.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was interested, Qiao Qizhi added on: "Young Master Jiang, if you're interested, you can compete with Ma Family later. I'll take all of your expenses tonight."
Being able to repay Jiang Chen a bit was something that made him feel a sense of accomplishment.
"Hm!" It just so happens that I want to play with Ma Family as well. "
Jiang Chen nodded. On the auction platform downstairs, the auctioneer had already lifted the red silk covering the second item.
The second item on auction was a pair of jadeite glass bottles. As the lights of the hall extinguished, a beam of light shone into the jade bottles, causing them to glow with a golden light.
Golden patterns flowed on the surface of the jade bottle, and two coiling dragons emerged on the surface of the jade bottle. One couldn't help but exclaim at how profound the skills of the ancient craftsmen were.
The starting price of this pair of jade bottles was three hundred thousand and they were finally bought at the price of 1.7 million.
Afterwards, there were even things similar to jade bracelets, jade plates, and calligraphy and paintings that appeared, but they did not seem to be the main highlight.
Although the history of these items was not very clean, their value was not as high as Jiang Chen had imagined.
The next item is from a remote mountain village in the country. It is said that in the ancient times, that place was specially used by the royal family to produce precious medicinal herbs, and even in the modern times, it was used to produce extremely precious medicinal herbs. I would like to introduce to everyone the precious medicinal herbs that were found in the mountain village at the back of the village.
