Seeing the Nine-Petal Lotus Cold Iron Cauldron once again, Lin Zichen felt as if the blood in his body was boiling, and he couldn"t help but reveal a smile on his face.
To an apothecary, this was indeed an exciting matter. He thought that he would have no chance of meeting this cauldron, but it seemed like fate had not yet come to an end.
Since there was still a chance of meeting again, it meant that there was still a sliver of hope to obtain it!He discovered that the introduction of this cauldron was different from the other items that were auctioned. The descriptions of the other items were extremely detailed, and there were even descriptions of the other pictures and texts in the middle. However, the four-sided cauldron only had a few lines.
Furthermore, these words were not very substantial, and did not even mention the time, the material, or the craftsmans.h.i.+p. From this, Lin Zichen was certain that this auction was nothing more than a pretense for the four cauldrons.
However, he did not understand why the other party would use such a method. He had clearly already obtained it, yet he still needed to go through the formalities of another auction.Seeing Lin Zi Chen"s expression, Fang Ning could also tell that there was something Lin Zi Chen wanted here. However, with her experience, she did not immediately speak up, but maintained her calm instead.
"Alright Vice President Chen, we"ve finished reading it. Thank you very much."
Chen Feng nodded with a smile and closed his notebook. After all, this was a violation of the rules. Since Fang Ning had finished reading, he had also called for someone to take it away.
"Miss Fang, did you see anything in advance when you came to partic.i.p.ate in the two auctions this time?"
"Oh? If Vice President Chen asks, can you do something? " Fang Ning said.
Chen Feng smiled and said, "Haha, it"s artificial. There"s an owner for all the items being auctioned. As long as we"re willing to pay a reasonable price, it"s still possible."Fang Ning did not rush to answer, but first turned her head to look at Lin Zichen. It was clear that she was not interested, since she did not know anything about antiques. However, Lin Zichen definitely had his eyes on something.
However, Lin Zichen did not give Fang Ning any response. Instead, he pretended to be clueless as he looked around. This once again aroused Chen Feng"s disdain within his heart.He was definitely a b.u.mpkin. Even if Miss Fang hadn"t helped him just now for some reason, they were indeed friends. They were probably friends with very different positions as well. They definitely didn"t have many interactions during normal times.
Fang Ning was the grand daughter of the Yunshan Group, and she also held an important position. How could she have the time to keep in touch with such a petty person?
"Hur hur, I"m just a layman. Actually, partic.i.p.ating in the auction is just for show. If I were to make a move, I"d have to trouble Vice President Chen to support me." Fang Ning said politely."That"s only natural, Miss Fang. Why don"t you stay for lunch?"
"Hehe, there"s no need for lunch. I still have other things to do." Fang Ning said.
Chen Feng nodded, feeling somewhat disappointed. He did not want to miss this chance to fawn over a wealthy person."Alright, you can call me anytime if you need to," Chen Feng took out his business card and handed it over. "Also, Miss Fang, Governor Guo has already booked a hotel for you, you..."
"Director Guo, you"ve troubled yourself. But I"m here to stay at a friend"s house, so there"s no need."As she spoke, Fang Ning picked up her bag and headed out of the meeting room.
Chen Feng could not help but feel embarra.s.sed. His face was somewhat hot. Although he was a rich young girl, this was too impolite. Leaving just like that...Of course, Fang Ning did not have a good impression of Chen Feng in her heart. The reason was very simple — it was the conflict between him and Lin Zichen outside the auction house.
Lin Zi Chen shrugged his shoulders and chuckled, then stood up and walked out as well.
Looking at Lin Zichen"s expression, Chen Feng was furious. What was this thing? It was simply Miss Fang"s presence. If you were by yourself, I would have made it so that you couldn"t even take half a step into the auction house!However, although he was displeased, Chen Feng still hurriedly got up and sent Fang Ning out of the auction house. He had originally wanted to send a car out to specially send Fang Ning off, but he was rejected.
Fang Ning was naturally happy to be alone with Lin Zichen for a while. She silently vexed over Chen Feng"s endless actions as she said, "Vice President Chen, there"s no need for you to send me off. I also rarely come to Beijing recently. I want to walk by myself.""Alright then, Miss Fang. If you need anything, you can call me."
Walking past the corner of the street, Fang Ning said, "Zi Chen, you seemed to be very interested in the second item list just now."
Only then did Lin Zi Chen nod his head, and said with a smile: "Hur Hur, you saw through it?"
"Of course, how could you not see that? Your eyes were already glowing with a green light just now." Fang Ning couldn"t help but laugh as she covered her mouth."Hur hur, is that so?"
"Of course, I don"t understand those antiques. Which one do you like? "I"ll talk to President Guo, let"s just buy it directly." Fang Ning said with a serious expression.
"Buy? I"m afraid it"s not that easy. " Lin Zi Chen shook his head and said."Hmm? How could that be? Didn"t that Chen Feng say just now that the people I like can operate it? " Fang Ning asked, puzzled.
Lin Zi Chen smiled: "That thing is different, I can even guess his approximate transaction price."
"Oh? "Since when did I change to be Zhou Yi"s fortune-teller? Haha, tell me."
"Fang Ning, have you noticed that the first item on the bid list is a three-legged four-sided cauldron?"Fang Ning frowned slightly as she thought about it. Although there were over a dozen items on each list, and she didn"t know anything about antiques, she did have some impression of that three-legged four-sided cauldron.
First of all, the three-legged cauldron was at the top of the auction list. The first item would always attract attention, and with the addition of the fact that it was different from the other items, its description was very limited.
"I know, you"re talking about that stone square cauldron, right?""Yes, that one!" Lin Zi Chen said.
Fang Ning could not help but pout her lips slightly, saying, "About that …" "It"s very normal, there are many places to put it. If you like it, we can customize it when we return to the Heavenly Province."
Hearing this, Lin Zi Chen shook his head and laughed: "Of course not. First of all, that is not a stone square cauldron, but a kind of rare metal called Frost Iron."
"Frost Iron..." I don"t think I"ve heard of it. ""Yes, I"ve never heard of such a thing. The Frost Iron is in the Tianshan Mountains, but it has been completely mined. Perhaps in ancient times, there were no longer any natural Frost Iron here."
"Not in the ancient times? That"s really a cultural relic, but I can"t see any value in it at all. It"s obviously made of stone … "
"Hehe, it does look like a stone, but because it was petrified for too long, if it was in my hands, I"m afraid that I would be able to restore it to its original appearance within a few hours!"As he said that, Lin Zi Chen thought of a pure white Cold Iron Cauldron. It had the exquisite carving of a Nine-Petal Lotus. That was simply too beautiful a cauldron!
Fang Ning thought for a moment, then said, "How about … …" Let me ask President Guo, can you sell that to us? ""No, don"t mention it for now. When I was at the auction house, I knew that you were asking me a question, but I didn"t answer. This is also the reason, this cauldron …" There should be some stories. " Lin Zi Chen said.
"Many antiques are like this. Isn"t there a saying? Every antique has its own story to tell."
Lin Zi Chen shook his head and said: "Hehe, what I"m talking about is not this story, but the story of the transaction."
Afterwards, Lin Zichen told Fang Ning about what happened yesterday in the antique city.
Fang Ning couldn"t help but open her eyes wide. "What?" This means that this square cauldron already has a buyer, then this auction is just a formality, the goal is to rely on the auction program to send the cauldron to the buyer! "
"Smart! As expected of Chief Fang!""Hate, who are you trying to insult," Fang Ning couldn"t help but blush. "However, it seems like the ident.i.ty of this buyer is a little different as well. Otherwise, why would he use such methods?"
Lin Zi Chen slightly wrinkled his brows, nodding his head: "That"s right, I"ve always been unable to understand this point."
Fang Ning was silent for a moment before she said, "Zi Chen, so you"re saying …. "It seems like the buyer hasn"t paid up yet."
"Hmm?" Lin Zi Chen seemed to be interested in what Fang Ning was saying.
"Think about it, it"s impossible for an auction house to purchase a seemingly mediocre four-sided cauldron for sixty million. They won"t take the risk, so there must be someone who wants the auction house to pay for the cauldron first and then auction it off into his hands."Hearing this, Lin Zi Chen sucked in a breath, "That makes a lot of sense. Continue speaking."
"From the looks of it, the greatest possibility is... This is not a single person, it should be a group! "
"You mean... Is there anyone who would like to take advantage of this auction to get more money? " "That"s great," Lin Zi Chen said. "That"s right, let"s a.s.sume that this person is a purchaser from the company. The boss wants him to buy the cauldron, then he will ask the auction house to help him buy the cauldron." That"s right, let"s a.s.sume that this person is a purchaser from the company, the boss wants him to buy the cauldron, then he will ask the auction house to help him to buy the cauldron.
"Divide it up with the auction house."Hearing Fang Ning"s suggestion, Lin Zichen couldn"t help but smile. "Hehe, this possibility is really high. However, if it"s like you"ve speculated, this person must have a very strong relations.h.i.+p with the auction house."
"That"s right, that"s the premise. Moreover, the organization backing this person should have some ability to it. They would even buy an antique worth tens of millions. They can"t be just some small fry." Fang Ning said.Lin Zi Chen nodded his head and smiled: "Not only that, the average person could tell that this cauldron is probably just a stone cauldron, at most it"s an antique, but the price definitely won"t be higher than forty million, so those who can afford it at such a high price are naturally experts, perhaps even …." "Apothecary."
"Apothecary?" Fang Ning said.
"Haha, Fang Ning, that"s not an ordinary cauldron. The cauldron is made from a sacred item during the cultivation period and is made of cold iron, so this cauldron is made of cold iron!"
Fang Ning took a deep breath, feeling astonished in her heart. "If I didn"t know that you could refine pills, even I wouldn"t believe that the real existence of the cauldron could be that valuable, right?"
"Yes, a real pill furnace cannot be estimated with money. If it wasn"t for Old Gu"s offer of sixty million, perhaps ten or even twenty times that number, I, Lin Zichen, would have taken it as well!"
After saying that, Lin Zi Chen narrowed his eyes, showing the determination in his heart. "However, since he intends to obtain the cauldron through the auction, haha, then don"t blame me for being impolite!" Lin Zi Chen smiled with confidence in his eyes.Section error, point this report (registration free) we will deal with as soon as possible. After reporting, please wait patiently and refresh the page.
