Chapter 776 Auction and Simplicity

When he came in, Si Cong saw Luo Quan and nodded slightly to say hello.

Although they had never met before and had no friendship, out of politeness, Luo Quan responded with a smile when he took the initiative to say hello.

As for Ye Kai who was next to him, he also saw Luo Quan, but it was probably because of some conflicts between the two before, so he didn't pay any attention to it. He took a look and lowered his head to play with his mobile phone.

After finding a seat in the corner with Luyao and sitting down, Luo Quan asked her about the banquet and auction.

Luyao took a sip of red wine and said softly: "Actually, the main event today is the auction, but because the people invited are all children from rich families, we temporarily added a dinner party as a foreplay.

The main reason is that we usually have less opportunities to get together, so we took this opportunity to hold such a banquet. "

"So what good things are there in this auction that can attract so many rich kids to the auction?" Luo Quan also took a sip of the liquid in the cup, but it was not red wine, but orange juice.

“This auction is held by the children of an old gentleman who loves collecting antiques.

The old gentleman's children had some changes at home, and wanted to cash in some of their collections to help with the emergency, so they organized such an auction through the old gentleman's previous contacts.

As for the items collected by this old gentleman, they are indeed very precious. Many of them are treasures with a history of thousands of years. Moreover, there is also an unknown sword from the Warring States period in this auction. According to the standard, it should be the sword of the king... …”

Speaking of this, Lu Yao lowered her voice again, with a mysterious expression: "After the last battle with Li Shan, you should have some understanding of spiritual energy recovery, right?"

Luo Quan was a little surprised: "You also know? I thought that after the fight that day, only a few people knew about it."

Lu Yao smiled: "The news has spread a long time ago. Who in the entire capital doesn't know that you tortured the Iron-armed Monkey King Li Shan?"

Iron-armed Monkey King, this nickname is really...

Luo Quan had a lump in his throat and didn't know how to vomit.

"I did learn something from him. In short, some people can become stronger by relying on fame or antiques, but the extent of becoming stronger is limited."

"That's much better than ordinary people, and just by extending life, it's a temptation that no one can resist. After all, who among the rich today doesn't live a few more years?

In this era of entertainment to death, if you are not careful, you can sit in the limelight and become popular all over the Internet.

But if you really want to become famous overnight, it is still very difficult, and there is also a lot of luck involved.

Therefore, these ancient antiques are quite precious. The older they are, the greater the possibility of developing spiritual wisdom. If you are lucky enough to be a famous treasure, it can directly guarantee the prosperity of a big family for hundreds of years! "

"Is there such a mysterious thing? Then I need to collect two more of these antiques." Luo Quan blinked, thinking of the two treasures in his home.

I don’t know if Xiaoyu and Dahei were well-behaved at home or if they fought behind her back.

"So, this auction can attract so many wealthy second-generation people. It's because antiques are so popular now. The ones that are a little famous have either been bought long ago, or they are too expensive to be bought, so they can't be bought at all.

This old gentleman’s collection is quite good. In the past, not so many people cared about it, but today is different from the past. "

Luyao took another sip of red wine and talked about the current situation.

"What about you? Are you planning to buy that ancient sword this time?" Luo Quan asked curiously.

Luyao leaned her head on the sofa: "No, I already have it at home, so I don't need to buy more for now. I came out this time mainly because I wanted to see the world, and I also heard that you are here, so I specially invited you out. Let’s reminisce about old times together.”

Luo Quan was confused: "How can an auction house be so popular? Aren't they all rich second generations?"

"These second-generation rich people are just credit card machines. What really matters is the group of people."

Lu Yao raised her hand and pointed to the other side of the banquet.

They are a group of people wearing various costumes, ranging from fifteen or sixteen years old to sixty-seven years old.

They all have different looks and figures, but they all have one thing in common, that is, their eyes are like lightning and they are full of energy.

To describe it simply, at first glance, he looks like a Lianjiazi, and he is very good at fighting.

Lu Yao introduced to Luo Quan: "Those people are all masters recruited by the rich second-generation families. Some have practiced martial arts for decades, and some are geniuses who have only recently awakened, but they all have one thing in common, that is, they are in harmony with spiritual energy. The speed is very high, and the speed of absorbing spiritual energy is several times that of ordinary people.

Moreover, they are all very powerful. "

Luo Quan looked at those people carefully and asked, "How strong are they? How do they compare to Li Shan?"

Lu Yao laughed: "It must have been Li Shanqiang before, after all, he was a national-level bodyguard.

But it will be hard to say after a while. After all, the influence of the factor of spiritual energy is too great.

But Luo Luo, you are so powerful, no matter how hard those people absorb it, they probably can’t compare to you. "

The cowhide is not blown, and the train is not pushed.

The reputation of "the best female boxer in the world" and "the pinnacle of human combat power" was too great before. In addition, she just crushed Li Shan not long ago. Now Lu Yao unconditionally trusts Luo Quan and doesn't think anyone can be her. opponent.

Luo Quan also felt that this was indeed the case, so he was not modest.

Just like when others praise her as the most beautiful in the world, except for sometimes saying that her mother is the most beautiful, in other cases she accepts it calmly and never says that I am unworthy.

If she doesn't deserve it, who else can?

They are all so beautiful, how can they not be more domineering than me?

Being too modest will appear pretentious and hypocritical.

After chatting for a while, the banquet officially began, with plates of steaming delicacies served one after another. The rich second generation drank and mingled with each other under the light of the lights, chatting and laughing happily.

Most of the dishes on the table were eaten with just a few chopsticks, and 70% of the delicacies on the table would be thrown away immediately.

Waste is shameful, Luo Quan could only eat as much food as possible after the banquet.

However, she and Lu Yao were the only two people at their table. The other rich second generations didn't know whether they were afraid of her fists or were reminded by the adults in the family not to provoke her. Everyone who dared to sit over during the meal.

As for striking up a conversation, there is no such thing. At most, you just smile and say hello after seeing someone.

Although Luo Quan liked this look, it also resulted in that after she and Lu Yao had eaten and drank, there were still more than a dozen dishes on the table that had not been touched at all.

Luo Quan couldn't bear to see such a waste, so he asked the hotel waiter to pack up all the untouched dishes and bring them back later for supper and breakfast tomorrow.

"You are still as frugal as when you were in school." Lu Yao looked at Luo Quan packing seriously, with a look of nostalgia on her face.

When we were in the school cafeteria, Luo Quan was the one who ate the best among the four sisters and had the cleanest plate after meals.

After others finish eating, there will be more or less leftover food. Only Luo Quan will basically eat everything he can eat, except for oil, ginger, garlic and the like.

Of course, Lu Yao said this not to laugh at Luo Quan, she just lamented that after so long, Luo Quan's habits were still so simple and excellent even though his net worth had doubled so many times.

However, Luo Quan just smiled at Lu Yao's compliment:

“For me, being frugal or not is meaningless. What’s the use of saving something?

Frugality has always been a false proposition. What I spend on non-necessities is thousands of times the value of frugality.

I simply can't bear to see these dishes taken out of the kitchen and poured into the swill bucket intact. It would be such a waste. "

Lu Yao said nothing, but felt that Luo Quan lived a more transparent life than she imagined.

While Luo Quan was packing, the others were already led upstairs by the waiter to start the main event of the day.

After delaying for five minutes, Luo Quan ran upstairs with Lu Yao carrying two large plastic bags.

The auction place is slightly smaller than the one below. It is a stepped conference room.

The staff of the TV station are already in place and the machines are on, but it is not a live broadcast. After the recording, it will be edited and dubbed, and then it will be included in tomorrow's news.

Although everyone present knew that there might be something extraordinary about these old antiques, the public did not know it yet.

If something unexpected happens during the auction, problems can easily arise.

So there is no live broadcast.

This is also the reason why most domestic cultural relics museums choose to close.

The unified response to the outside world is to inspect and repair cultural relics. In fact, we are thinking about how to keep these antiques in a stable state for a long time.

After Luo Quan and Lu Yao took their seats, a middle-aged man wearing a black gown walked onto the stage.

This middle-aged man had a bitter look on his face and his eyes were full of fatigue. At first glance, it seemed that he had experienced a big change in his life. Everyone guessed his identity almost immediately.

"Everyone is welcome to attend this auction. Here, on behalf of my deceased father, I would like to thank you for your appreciation of his collection."

The middle-aged man bowed to the guests in the audience.

“No more nonsense, let’s just start the auction.”

After the opening remarks were finished quickly, a young man in a Chinese tunic suit took his place, followed by a young girl in a cheongsam.

The girl held up a box covered in red cloth.

The young man stood in front of the lecture table, picked up the hammer with one hand, and slowly pulled off the red cloth on the box with the other hand, revealing a blue and white porcelain bowl with flowers, birds, fish and insects painted on it.

"Dear photographers, although the painting skills of this Yuan blue and white painting are average, it is very well preserved and is very old, nearly 700 years ago.

The most important point is that this bowl has been bathed in incense in the Buddhist temple for hundreds of years. There is no need to say more about what this year means.

The starting price is 5 million, and each increase in price will be no less than 500,000! "

The first lot was really heavyweight, and it was beyond everyone’s expectations.

According to what is known so far, the more willing people are, the stronger the aura will be.

In ancient times, the Buddhist and Taoist families probably received much more power from the people than the royal family.

After all, dynasties will always change, but Buddhism and Taoism have been passed down in China for thousands of years, and their influence is not ordinary.

Compared with the people's awe of the emperor, their respect and piety for the gods and Buddhas in the sky are more likely to make the antiques give birth to spiritual wisdom.

Moreover, those eminent monks and immortal masters who have attained the Tao can also consecrate these items with their own Taoism.

Therefore, if the antiques come from ancient temples and Taoist temples, the quality is generally very good.

After briefly whispering to the "bodyguards" around them, the rich second generation confirmed that there was nothing wrong with this item, so they started bidding with placards.

"Seven million!"

The first call was to add 2 million, and it was probably easy to break 20 million.

"Is this bowl useful?" Luo Quan asked the system.

The system has not even taken a single look at these antique treasures.

When it was said that the imperial seal was still wrapped in gold foil, the system immediately took notice of it, thinking that the thing inside was not a mortal thing, and asked Luo Quan to buy it.

The final result is known. China has once again welcomed back this possibly one of the most important and precious treasures in its thousands of years of history.

So this time, Luo Quan also wanted to listen to the system's opinions to see if there was anything good to buy, or to find out.

"Rubbish."

The system only replied with two words, concise and to the point.

After looking at most of the people, they were unmoved. Apparently they knew that this bowl was not as good as the photographer described it.

It may be true that it came out of the ancient temple, but it is not certain whether it has been around for such a long time.

Soon, the bidding for the first lot ended, and the final transaction price was 23.5 million RMB.

For an ordinary Yuanqinghua, this greatly exceeds its original value.

But for the young man who took the photo of this bowl, buying a physique and lifespan amplifier for 20 million is definitely a good deal.

I just don’t know how far this amplifier can increase the amplitude.

After the Yuan blue and white bowl was sold, the main auctioneer asked the female assistant to take out the second lot without stopping.

This time it was a bracelet made of copper coins.

It is said to be made from the collection of copper coins from five prosperous dynasties, which is the Five Emperors Coin Bracelet.

In the past, this kind of Feng Shui jewelry cost tens of thousands of dollars.

But things are different now.

As soon as this bracelet was taken out, under the direct illumination of the incandescent lamp, it shone with a vague and strange luster, revealing its extraordinary quality.

Compared with the bowl just now, the quality of this bracelet is undoubtedly much higher, which can be seen from the greedy eyes of the rich second generation in the audience.

"System, what do you think?"

Luo Quan was a little eager to try it. She felt that the name of this thing was very domineering, so it must be a good thing.

"You already have the Imperial Seal. If you hear anything from the Emperor or the Emperor in the future, just treat it as rubbish.

There is no treasure in the imperial city that can compare with the golden-haired white cat at home. "

Luo Quan was stunned by the system's complaints, but when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that this was really the case.

The Chuanguo Jade Seal is the symbol of power of China's two thousand-year feudal dynasty. It is orthodox. To a certain extent, even the emperor cannot compare with it.

After all, there have been hundreds of emperors throughout the ages, but there is only one imperial seal.

Thinking of this, Luo Quan completely lay back and became indifferent to the world.
