Chapter 709 Playing with applause
Lin Ran's purpose was not to buy the Night Pearl.
As he expected, when Liu Ye heard his offer, he also followed suit.
"Twenty-five thousand!"
He looked like he had a lot of money.
"Twenty-six thousand." Lin Ran followed up with the price.
Liu Ye had no hope of winning the Night Pearl. He also wanted Lin Ran to spend more money, so he said: "Twenty-eight thousand!"
However, what he didn't expect was that Lin Ran did not continue to follow, but put down the sign, crossed his legs, and started chatting with Chen Qi next to him.
Liu Ye didn't expect that he would come up with this move, and his lips suddenly turned white.
He was so angry that he almost vomited blood. No one in the venue continued to raise the price.
The auctioneer seemed very excited and said with a smile: "This gentleman has already offered a price of 28000. Is there anyone else willing to increase the price?"
There was an uproar in the venue, but no one continued to follow.
The auctioneer saw that the prices were about the same, so he took the microphone and said: "Twenty-eight thousand once, twenty-eight thousand twice..."
As the gong sounded, the wooden hammer in his hand fell: "Twenty-eight thousand, deal!"
The audience instantly burst into applause.
Gu Nuan excitedly said to his father: "Grandpa, Dad, our businessmen in the capital are really caring. This auction was indeed held correctly."
In response, Gu Wu and Gu Peng also smiled knowingly.
This luminous pearl, which cost only [-] yuan, was auctioned for twice the price.
After the transaction was completed, the auctioneer took advantage of the free period and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Liu for buying the priceless Night Pearl."
"At the same time, I would like to thank Mr. Liu and Mr. Lin for their efforts. Here, on behalf of Mayor Gu and the people of the Love Foundation, I would like to express my gratitude to you."
"Once again, all the items auctioned in this auction, after deducting taxes, will be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas."
"I believe they will be grateful for your kindness while sitting in the warm and bright school."
As he spoke, he bowed to the two of them.
Lin Ran just nodded slightly. Anyway, the painting was worth more than [-] yuan, so he didn't lose anything.
However, it was hard to say for Liu Ye.
For the ancients, the luminous pearl was something that could only be encountered but not sought.
However, in China's industrially developed China, as the mining of diamond ore increases, the value of the luminous pearl will only become lower and lower.
Sure enough, Liu Ye's confused expression froze on his face.
He didn't listen to a word of the auctioneer's compliments.
"Why don't you increase the price? Aren't you rich?"
He silently thought to himself that he had just planned to raise the price and let Lin Ran pay the bill.
Although his purpose was to curry favor with Mayor Gu, it was totally not worth spending such a high price.
Thinking of this, he suddenly came to his senses and realized what stupid thing he had done.
I spent [-] yuan to buy a gem. If my father found out, he would have to break his legs.
But he can't regret it now. The organizer is the Gu family. If he dares to default on the bill, he is afraid that he will have to pay more money and offend Mayor Gu.
Gu Nuan clapped her hands in her seat. She really admired these two businessmen.
In fact, this charity gala was initiated by her. She wanted to help a friend build a school in a remote mountainous area. Her ability was limited and she could only take out a few cultural relics from home to sell.
It was only after my father reminded me that I thought of taking the auction route.
She smiled sincerely now, and also noticed that one of the two people participating in the auction was calmer than the other.
One just claps along and chats with the people next to him.
The other one had an expressionless face and seemed to have done something very ordinary.
Lin Ran had no time to pay attention to Liu Ye's mood. He was discussing with Chen Qi how to talk to Mayor Gu about their auction house later.
After all, after giving face, they also need to get something in return, which is in their interests.
The auction continued, and ten more collections were auctioned one after another.
Lin Ran just glanced at it without saying anything.
These treasures were insignificant playthings in his eyes.
Especially jade and pearls are just more expensive stones in his eyes.
The remaining antique utensils were nothing more than items with no collectible value, not as valuable as the scraps they dug out from the tomb.
If we really count, the gold and silver treasures they brought back last time were so large that a month had passed and Liu Jingfeng still hadn't dealt with them yet.
Therefore, there was only 50 more in his bank card. In Liu Jingfeng's words, only one third was sold.
He kept this money for other purposes and did not withdraw it.
The auction is over, and all merchants who participated in the auction have to go to the backstage to subscribe for goods.
After Lin Ran swiped the card, he directly asked the Gu family to deliver the calligraphy and painting to Xialin Village and have his parents sign for it.
Liu Ye was holding the Night Pearl that he bought for nearly [-] yuan. For a moment, Lin Ran couldn't tell which one was greener, the Night Pearl or his face.
Lin Ran took a closer look when he was paying the money. There was indeed nothing unusual about this luminous pearl.
According to his estimate, it was about fifteen thousand.
People in the hall left one after another, and only those who spent money were left.
Gu Wu walked up to them, smiled and patted their shoulders.
"Thank you for supporting my Gu Family Charity Gala. If you encounter any problems in the capital in the future, I will be happy as long as Gu can help you solve them." Gu Wu said to them with a smile.
They took photos together, and then Chen Qi and Gu Wu chatted about investment, and no one else could get in the conversation.
Gu Peng was still responsible for the aftermath. Lin Ran was about to leave alone when he saw Gu Nuan standing in front of him.
Lin Ran nodded slightly, and then wanted to go around from the side.
"What's your name? Why haven't I seen you before?" Gu Nuan's tone seemed to have a sense of arrogance.
"Me?" Lin Ran looked up. His only impression of Gu Nuan was that she was the granddaughter of the banquet host, and she was very beautiful. However, there was no interaction between them, and for some reason she stopped him.
But just now it was just a rough impression.
Looking closer, Gu Nuan's oval face is fair and round, her facial features are delicate and delicate, and she is very layered.
Matched with the red dress, she looks very elegant.
"Yes, which company do you work for?" Gu Nuan smiled and took a step closer. She looked at Lin Ran curiously.
Everyone else was busy with their own affairs, but Liu Ye noticed that this beautiful woman was so polite when she spoke.
She couldn't help but be so angry that she vomited blood, and she didn't even look at herself.
"Have you ever heard of Shengshi Craftsmen, who sell handicrafts on the pedestrian street?" Lin Ran replied with a smile.
At this time, the bp machine on his waist suddenly rang twice.
He just found a reason, smiled at Gu Nuan, and said, "I have something to do, so I'll leave first."
"What's your number?" Gu Nuan asked reluctantly.
