Chapter 174
Seeing this, Qin Miao immediately took a few steps towards the back of the crowd and successfully avoided Xia He's gaze.
He didn't want to provoke that crazy woman, if he was caught by her in the casino today, maybe the other party would do something even crazier.
As soon as he saw Qin Miao, Grande said excitedly: "Qin, just now a waiter told me that a small antique auction will be held upstairs, aren't you interested in these things?" Shall we go up and take a look later?
Although he didn't know much about these things, thinking of Qin Miao's excited expression when he got those merit money before, he knew that these curios must be very meaningful to him.
Qin Miao raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is it?" Auctions are actually held in places like casinos? They shouldn't be liars.
Grande didn't expect this to happen, he was stunned, and then pointed his finger at a waiter at the chip exchange office and said, "He told me, or let's go over and ask?"
Qin Miao nodded, in this place of the casino, the heart of defense is still necessary, what if the other party sees that Grande is a foreigner and sets a trap for him in order to cheat chips?
A few people walked to the chip exchange office and asked about the auction, and the waitress there nodded and said, "Yes, we do have an auction in the casino today." This is held by our casino owner, and the auction items are all from his private collection, only open to guests with more than 50 million chips, if you are interested, I can show you up. Speaking
of this, Qin Miao also understood that this so-called auction is actually a shady private sale, and the things auctioned are also the personal collections of the sellers, and the identification of authenticity depends on the eyes of the appraisers, even if they accidentally hit the eyes, they can only blame themselves for not having enough eyesight, and they can't come up to the seller to ask for after-sales.
And rich people usually have a thrill-seeking mentality, and this kind of auction also caters to their tastes.
After exchanging the winning chips into a string of numbers in the bank card, Qin Miao asked the waitress to take them to the auction to have a look.
The waitress saw that the chips of several people were nearly 100 million yuan, and presumably the liquidity they had would not be less than 1 billion, and immediately identified them as big customers and led them to the top floor by elevator.
As soon as they got out of the elevator, they saw four tall bodyguards in camouflage uniforms, each of them exuding a fierce aura all over their bodies, but their expressions changed slightly when they saw Wu Dong.
Qin Miao knew that they had judged Wu Dong's strength, and even found that there might be some enemies who could not be able to match the other party.
The waitress smiled at them, and then led Qin Miao straight into a room deep in the corridor for a few days, the door was not big, but after entering, he found that there was a hole inside.
This is actually a spacious hall with an area of at least 200 square meters, and the decoration is simple and solemn, with 10 rows of chairs with coffee tables and rosewood arranged horizontally, and a booth covered with red satin in the center of the hall.
As soon as he entered the hall, Qin Miao found that there were already more than twenty people sitting here, most of them were middle-aged, and there were also a few old men with white sideburns, but the same thing was that they knew at a glance that they came out of a wealthy family.
Those people suddenly saw a young man entering, and they couldn't help but be a little curious, but the good upbringing made them just glance at it and then withdraw their gaze, continuing to look forward to the exhibits that might appear at the auction.
Before the auction began, the four of them randomly found a place near the door to sit down, and before their buttocks were hot, several beautiful waiters in cheongsam brought four cups of fragrant tea.
After Grande took a sip, he couldn't help but praise: "Qin, this is the same as your tea, it's so fragrant."
Qin Miao also nodded, but before they could make small talk, the door on the side suddenly opened, and several security guards in black uniforms rushed in carrying several large wooden boxes, and finally followed by an old man in a gray robe, looking a bit like a teacher in the Republic of China.
"Good afternoon, everyone, I'm the owner of our Lisboa Casino, Cai Zhuoxian."
Cai Zhuoxian walked to the center of the booth with a smile, arched his hand to the guests present, and said loudly: "Thank you for appreciating the light, Cai knows that you are here today for those guys under you, let's not talk about it, let's come directly to see the guys!"
After that, he bent down to open the first wooden box, took out a cyan square porcelain vase, and then placed it on the booth directly in front of him.
This bottle is about fifteen centimeters tall, which looks very similar to the style of the Qiang-style bottle that Qin Miao bought two days ago, and the identification results show that this is a high-quality imitation fake made in 09, worth only a few thousand yuan.
"Guys, this object was scooped back by Cai from Taiyuan, Shandong Province in 15 years, and it cost nearly 2 million yuan, let's use it today as an opening statement!"
Before the words fell, Cai Zhuoxian held the bottle with both hands and smashed it down on the open space in front of him, and with a loud "bang", the bottle suddenly fell apart and shattered into porcelain pieces.
Seeing Cai Zhuoxian's action, everyone present was in an uproar, looking at him in confusion, and even Grande, who didn't know anything at all, couldn't help but whisper: "Qin, didn't he say that this bottle was bought for 2 million?" How did it smash so easily?
Qin Miao smiled and said in a low voice: "This bottle is a counterfeit, only worth a few thousand yuan, I think Cai Zhuo was pitted first, and now take it out as a gimmick."
"But he doesn't have to, does he?" Anyway, this auction is based on his own eyesight, isn't it better for him to sell this thing at a high price to return the cost? Grande
still didn't quite understand that in addition to being a casino owner, he also had the identity of a businessman, and businessmen valued profits.
Qin Miao didn't expect the other party to ask like this, he thought for a moment before saying, "I guess there are two purposes for which he did this. The first point, of course, is to attract everyone's attention in the fastest way, and seeing the owner of the auction so bold, the interest of other buyers will also be high.
"The second point is also his main purpose, if the buyer finds a fake in this auction, it can only mean that his eyesight is not enough, and it has nothing to do with him, the organizer of the auction, which can also save a lot of follow-up troubles."
Listening to him say this, Grande finally understood a little, and secretly sighed in his heart the shrewd business acumen of the Celestial Empire.
