"Lin, Wang Kun, just you wait. I, Liu Jun, will remember what happened today!" Since things had already come to this point, Liu Jun naturally didn't dare to cause trouble at the Dong Clan Auction House, and could only speak in such a vicious manner.
After catching up to Lin Jing, Wang Kun had an apologetic expression on his face. "Mister Lin, I'm really sorry that I came a bit late. I let you meet a group of scoundrels like Liu Jun. Please forgive me."
Lin Jing's face revealed a smile. With a calm expression, he said, "Sir Wang is too polite. If you hadn't appeared, I wouldn't have known how to deal with this situation. Speaking of which, I should be thanking you." "Oh right, just who is that Liu Jun? How can he be so arrogant and look down on others?"
"That fellow is a well-known rascal in the Arts City. He was the one who picked up the loot earlier on, so it's only natural that he had good luck and earned a bit of capital. Originally, according to the situation at that time, if he were to steadily continue walking down the mountain, then there should have been a place for him to stand at. " Wang Kun calmly explained.
"However, this person is innately lazy, and loves to gamble. All the money he earns has been lost on the gambling table. Now, a group of idle personnel from the Arts and Entertainment City had been gathered. Usually, they would beat the wind and bully the stalls. or colluding with people, or cheating tourists, or something like that. "
Hearing this, Lin Jing frowned.
For people like this, let alone a place like the Arts City, which market in this world didn't have one or two like that?
What he was curious about was that logically speaking, when the Dong Clan Auction House sent out invitations, they all chose people with excellent reputations and abilities. How could they let a person like Liu Jun sneak in? Thinking about this, he asked, "Since it's like this, why would Liu Jun have an invitation letter?"
"Oh, I was going to explain this to you, Mr. Lin. Our auction house will have two different invitations depending on the content and nature of the auction. "One is registered, the other is unregistered." When Wang Kun heard this, he immediately explained.
"An honorary invitation letter is usually only used in special private auctions. As far as I know, the Dong Clan Auction House has only used it twice in the past few years. The rest of the time, they would use anonymous invitation letters, and no one would recognize them. It was the same with Elder Dong's previous private auction. "
As he said this, he seemed to be worried that Lin Jing might still have doubts in his mind. He further explained, "The reason I have such a choice is actually for the sake of the auction itself." Although the honorary invitation letters can guarantee the quality of the people participating in the auction, the quantity is not certain. "
"For an auction, there are only so many people that can participate. One person alone was not enough to confirm whether everyone would be present or not. After all, the majority of the people who received such an invitation were well-known figures in Eastsea City. They also had a lot of normal affairs. And we can't send too many, if it all comes, the extra can't let people just stand there! Therefore, half of the invitations sent out are unregistered invitations, and Liu Jun is using this as an excuse. "
"He found a person who had an invitation letter but didn't have the time to come here. Regardless of whether he buys it or not, he should still be able to get it. The same problem had occurred before, so the auction house had a blacklist that prohibited entry. Liu Jun is not in the right class, so he hasn't been put in yet. "
After hearing this, Lin Jing finally understood the whole story of this matter. He nodded his head and said, "Since it's like this, there's really nothing I can do about it. People like Liu Jun would try their hardest to get in whenever there was an opening. This time, it's pretty good to be able to block him out. "
"I still have to thank you, Mister Lin. If you did not personally speak, I would have no way of dealing with him. After all, the rules of the auction house are still there." Wang Kun said with a helpless expression.
As they spoke, the two of them arrived at the auction house. Wang Kun then turned to Lin Jing and said, "Mister Lin, Mister Feng has arrived early. He is in private room three with old man Dong. You went there last time. The auction is about to begin. I'll be taking the lead today, so I still have to prepare. Sorry, but I can't send you up there. "
"You're welcome, Mr. Wang. I'll go over myself." Lin Jing smiled.
After the two of them parted ways, Lin Jing entered the elevator on the first floor. Just as he came out, he saw two people walking towards a VIP lounge on the other side of the corridor. Although it was just a blink of an eye, he still recognized them. The two of them were Ni Fei and Yu Qing.
Ever since the two of them appeared, they had been relentlessly pursuing Lin Qing. It was unknown what their goal was. They had come to this auction again.
With a heavy heart, Lin Jing turned around and walked towards private room three. After knocking twice, the door opened from the inside.
When Feng Yuqing saw him, a sliver of doubt flashed across his eyes. After carefully examining him, he asked in surprise, "Mister Lin, how did you become like this? How did you do that?"
"Hur hur, I just went to the beauty salon to do some maintenance. Isn't it possible that I'll show my face again later? My usual appearance isn't very good." Lin Jing smiled as he spoke. Of course, he couldn't tell Feng Yuqing that he was wearing a high-tech mask. He could change into whatever he wanted now.
"Is it really that effective?" Feng Yuqing looked at him critically, disbelief written all over his face, but he didn't say anything more.
Elder Dong also looked over. When he saw his appearance, he smiled and said: "Haha, Xiao Lin, with your current appearance, even I might not be able to recognize you! The guard at the door didn't make things difficult for you, right? I sent Wang Kun to pick you up, did he go? "
"Elder Dong, you're too polite. It was Mr. Wang who led me in. There was a small matter at the door, so we were delayed." As they spoke, Lin Jing and Feng Yuqing walked in together.
He sat down on the sofa and saw that the venue was almost ready. The major buyers were seated as well, waiting for the auctioneer to bring the items up onto the stage.
Old man Dong turned his head towards Lin Jing and said, "Have you seen the person from private room six before?"
"I've seen them. On that day, they directly arrived at the Precious Forest Academy. At night, a small matter even occurred." Lin Jing didn't try to conceal anything.
"That family has such a way of doing things. However, the East China Sea is not their territory, so you can come find me anytime if there's any trouble. "Although it's impossible for me to face them head on, I still have some methods to deal with them in the East China Sea." Elder Dong said.
"Thank you for helping, Elder Dong." Lin Jing rolled his eyes and said to Old Dong.
"Hehe, we are all family so let's not talk about this together. The auction is about to begin. You took out so many blue and white porcelain in one go. The guys in the Arts and Entertainment City looked like cats who smelled the scent of blood. They were all extremely excited. In my opinion, today's results will be very good. "
The auction venue was a bit noisy. Most of the people here were merchants from the Arts and Crafts City. Of course, there were a few other buyers, but the number was relatively small. The moment the Dong Clan Auction House released the news of this special occasion, a huge commotion broke out in the Arts and Entertainment City.
The promotions stated that there were at least 20 rare and rare blue and white flowers of Jiaqing's quality. However, they were definitely the best on the market and the fastest in terms of appreciation. He even bought it today and raised the price tomorrow.
Putting aside the visible profits, if he were to continue at his current pace, he would be able to use the item as an emergency currency.
No one could guarantee that they would always have a pleasant life in the art world. In fact, it was only natural for them to have such a big affair in the past half month. It was good to have money on hand, but to keep the business steady, it was more important to have more goods to buy.
Therefore, these merchants became so excited after hearing the news. However, after waiting here for a long time, the auction had yet to begin.
The people from the Dong Clan Auction House did not come out to explain the situation. Several minutes had already passed.
In private room three, Lin Jing looked down with a smile and said, "Elder Dong, Sir Wang's actions are quite beautiful. "I think after a few more minutes, most of the experts below will become impatient, and their prices will naturally rise."
"Hehe, you brought the things over to me for auction. These guys thought that by secretly getting our invitation letter, they would be able to push down the price. Of course I can't let you suffer a loss. "This is only the beginning. The two people in the opposite building will help out if we take our time to take a look later on." Elder Dong laughed lightly as he spoke with confidence between his brows.
Naturally, the room across from them was private room number six. When Lin Jing heard this, his heart stirred and he didn't quite understand what Old Dong meant. Judging from the previous situation, Elder Dong and Ni Fei's relationship could not be considered close. Why would they help now? One had to know that the item being auctioned was real gold and silver!
While he was thinking in his heart, Wang Kun finally arrived at the stage later than everyone else. He had an apologetic expression as he said, "Everyone, I'm really sorry, but there was a small problem just now. Fortunately, it has been dealt with, and everyone's time has been delayed.
"Auctioneer Wang, I wonder what happened that caused the auction to be delayed. Could it be that there is a problem with the auction?" The moment Wang Kun finished speaking, someone from the audience immediately asked. To them, waiting a while longer was not a big deal.
Wang Kun smiled and said, "They said it's about the auction, but it can't be."
"What do you mean? Everyone has been waiting here for a long time, and this sentence is enough to send us away?" Another person said.
"Everyone, please calm down and listen to my explanations." Wang Kun's eyes narrowed as his gaze swept across the auction place, taking in everyone's reaction, he continued, "This batch of Baolin's auction items was appraised by our auction house. "He also invited a famous appraiser in the industry to do a third party appraisal. The quality, authenticity, and quality of the items in the collection are all within the same category."
"If that's the case, then what's the point of stalling for time? The auction should start soon." With so many things, it's getting late for the auction to end. We still have things to do when we get back! " Someone below said in an impatient tone.
The smile remained on his face, but Wang Kun continued, "Don't worry, the auction is about to start, but we have to explain things to everyone. There's absolutely no problem with the auction, but we might need to adjust the auction a bit. "
"Mr. Wang, if you have something to say, please say it once and for all. This is like a toothpaste, you have to do it bit by bit. Aren't you wasting your time?" Someone said anxiously, "What happened to the method of auction?" Is it possible to be special? "
