Chapter 49: Someone you can’t afford to offend!
It's strange that Bai Qianmo is so busy, how can he have time to attend Hilde's auction...
Thinking of this, Yeran took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Zhou Zijian: "You didn't reveal the news about my coming to Hilde to others, did you?"
"No, what's wrong?" Zhou Zijian asked, not knowing the situation on Ye Ran's side.
"It's okay, just keep busy."
Bai Qianmo saw a person coming back from Shili and said, "Where is Ran Chu?"
"She said it was inconvenient to come over." Shi Li reported truthfully.
"It's inconvenient, did you say my name?" Bai Qianmo thought Shi Li didn't tell him.
"I said it, but Miss Ran Chu said..." Shi Li didn't dare to continue talking at this point.
"Is she a woman?" Bai Qianmo raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yes, I saw it."
"Go on, what did she say?"
"Miss Ran Chu said that she is not familiar with you, so she declined your invitation." Shi Li reported carefully.
There was no change in Bai Qianmo's face after hearing this. This was true. It was true that they were not familiar with each other, but he should have heard of his name as an investor. Even if they were not familiar with him, there was no reason to refuse his invitation.
There is something special about this Ran Chu.
He became even more interested in women who dared to reject him.
"It doesn't matter. Since she doesn't want to come, there's no need to force her."
"Keep an eye on what she wants to take pictures of today, take pictures of them and send them over, as a meeting gift for her." Bai Qianmo ordered with a slight curl of the corners of his lips.
"Yes."
Bai Qianmo looked at the auction venue downstairs: "Ran Chu... interesting."
At the same time, the auctioneer also introduced the auction item in Ye Ranxiang - the Phoenix Nirvana Picture.
"This is a century-old painting, Tang Xiaobai's Phoenix Nirvana..."
"The starting price is two million."
Yeran didn't wait for others to call out the price and directly gave three million.
She liked this lifelike picture of the Phoenix's Nirvana, and no one could compete with her today.
The auctioneer said loudly: "The guest in private room No. 7 bid three million, does anyone want to increase the bid?"
"Mr. Bai, Miss Ran Chu seems to be interested in this picture of Phoenix Nirvana." Shi Li reported to Bai Qianmohui.
"Oh? Take a look." Bai Qianmo said calmly.
At this time, Mu Yu, who was sitting on the first floor, said to Lin Youshi beside him: "Youshi, I really like this picture of Phoenix Nirvana."
Lin Youshi scraped the tip of Mu Yu's nose lovingly and said, "Okay, I'll buy it for you."
He then raised his sign and said: "Four million."
"The gentleman on the 50th bid four million, will anyone increase the bid?" the auctioneer asked.
Yeran saw someone bidding with her and immediately made a bid.
"The guest in Private Room No. 7 bid five million, does anyone want to increase the bid?" the auctioneer asked loudly.
When Mu Yu heard that someone was robbing her, she immediately glanced at the private room No. 7 upstairs and said in an unhappy tone: "Who is it! You are so annoying, robbing me of something."
Lin Youshi also glanced at Private Room No. 7 upstairs, and then said in a soothing tone: "It's okay, no matter who it is, I'll take a photo of it for you, okay?"
Mu Yu smiled a little after hearing Lin Youshi's words.
Lin Youshi continued to hold up his cards.
The auctioneer immediately said: "The gentleman on the 50th bid six million, does anyone want to increase the bid?"
Ye Ran continued to bid, no matter who it was, as long as it was still within her lowest price range, she would not stop.
"The guests in private room No. 7 bid 8 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the bid?" the auctioneer asked loudly.
"It's powerful. The people in the No. 7 private room upstairs seem to like this painting very much and have been fighting with us." Mu Yu complained angrily.
"It's okay, as long as you like it, I will definitely buy it for you." Lin Youshi said nonchalantly in order to please Mu Yu.
As long as he wasn't in Private Room No. 1, he would fight for it.
After that, he continued to raise his sign.
The auctioneer immediately said: "The gentleman on the 50th bid nine million, does anyone want to increase the bid?"
Yeran frowned slightly and looked downstairs.
Who is below? He actually kept fighting with her.
At this time, in Private Room No. 1, Shi Li reported to Bai Qianmohui: "Mr. Bai, someone has also taken a fancy to the lot that Ran Chu has chosen, and the bidding is fierce now."
Seeing that they were almost fighting over each other, Bai Qianmo ordered: "Just take pictures."
"Yes."
Ishiri immediately bid.
"The guest in Private Room No. 1 bid 15 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the bid?" The auctioneer did not expect that this painting of Phoenix Nirvana would fetch a high price of 15 million, which exceeded his expectations.
As soon as the price came out, Lin Youshi and Mu Yu downstairs were immediately surprised.
Lin Youshi didn't expect that the people in Private Room No. 1 also took a fancy to the picture of Phoenix Nirvana that Mu Yu liked.
Afraid of the other party's identity, Lin Youshi glanced at the private room No. 1 upstairs and gave up the bidding on his own initiative.
Mu Yu asked in an unhappy tone: "What's going on? Why did a group of people come out again? Why are these people trying to rob us!"
Lin Youshi immediately covered her mouth and said, "Keep your voice down. We can't afford to offend the people in Private Room No. 1. This painting is actually not that pretty, so we won't argue with them. We'll see other good things later." Can I take a photo and give it to you?"
"Okay." Mu Yu calmed down when she saw that Lin Youshi really didn't dare to offend Private Room No. 1.
Yeran didn't expect that Bai Qianmo would suddenly offer a high price to snatch the painting from her.
She frowned slightly, this Bai Qianmo is really good enough!
But now the price given by Bai Qianmo was higher than her lowest price, and she couldn't help but feel a little unhappy.
After thinking about it, Ye Ran decided to give up. It was just a picture, so it was no big deal to give it to him. Anyway, there were things she liked later, so it didn't matter if she took one less picture.
Immediately, Ye Ran also gave up the bidding.
"Mr. Bai, this picture of Phoenix Nirvana was photographed by us." Shi Li reported to Bai Qianmohui.
"Ah."
"Next, let's take a look at Master Wen's latest outstanding work - bamboo and wood ivory carving..." the auctioneer introduced to everyone.
"The starting price is two million."
"Three million." Someone raised a sign.
"Three and a half million."
……
Several artworks were photographed in a row. During this period, Bai Qianmo in the private room No. 1 and Lin Youshi and Mu Yu downstairs did not participate in the bidding.
Then the auctioneer introduced another type of calligraphy that Ye Ran was interested in.
Ye Ran looked at the big screen and remembered that she noticed when she went to the old house that there were some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall.
It can be seen that Ye Ran likes calligraphy and painting. Today he happened to see this vigorous and powerful calligraphy, and Ye Ran wanted to take a photo of it and give it to him.
"The starting bid for this calligraphy is three million. Bidding starts now."
Yeran didn't make the first bid, so she wanted to wait and see first this time.
"Youshi, my dad likes calligraphy very much. If you can take a photo and give it to him, maybe he will consider our engagement." Mu Yu said to Lin Youshi with a slightly shy face.
