Chapter 122 Extraordinary Auction House
Most people in Shanghai have never heard of the "Feifan" Auction House, but those with high status and wealth must have heard of the name "Feifan" Auction House.
This "extraordinary" auction house, as its name suggests, auctions all "extraordinary" things, that is, items that ordinary people will never use in their lifetime - luxury goods. Only luxury goods are auctioned here, and they are top-notch luxury goods.
That kind of thing. Moreover, this "extraordinary" auction house also has a strange rule that all auction items must be paid for on the spot to prevent unsold auctions.
Therefore, those who can be invited by the "Extraordinary" auction house are the powerful people in Shanghai. Most people who come to Shanghai to work hard and achieve a certain status are proud to receive an invitation letter from the "Extraordinary" auction house. This means that you
He has already stepped into the threshold of Shanghai's upper class society.
At first, Lin Feng didn't know that this invitation would be so tempting. When he was casually holding the invitation and wondering who to take with him to the auction house, Wu Zhaopu saw it and was shocked.
Under Wu Zhaopu's excited explanation, Lin Feng finally understood the meaning behind this invitation. Since it was an invitation that represented the threshold for entering Shanghai's upper class society, Lin Feng had to go.
As the company develops, if Lin Feng wants to gain a foothold in Shanghai, he must make friends with these powerful people. The "Extraordinary" auction house is to give all those who come to Shanghai to develop and make certain achievements an opportunity to enter Shanghai's upper class society.
opportunity.
As for why the "Extraordinary" auction house did this, no one knows. But there is no doubt that over the past few years, this has become an important occasion for Shanghai's upper-class society to communicate.
There is also an unwritten rule of the "Extraordinary" auction house. All new members must bid on an item at the first auction to show their financial resources and strength. If they do not bid, they will be despised by other rich people.
, and forever lose the opportunity to set foot in this circle again.
Every time they target new members, other wealthy people will tacitly raise prices, firstly to show off their financial resources, and secondly to suppress the new members and tell them who the real people in Shanghai are.
Of course, in this way, new members will definitely suffer a loss, but they will be able to come into contact with many powerful people who they would never get to know, which is definitely beneficial to their career development. In this way, it can be said to be mutually beneficial.
"Director Lin, just remember one thing. You must take a picture of one item in it, otherwise you will be looked down upon by other wealthy people, and it may even affect the company's development in Shanghai." Wu Zhaopu looked at the "extraordinary" invitation letter with emotion.
.
This is both a hot potato and an opportunity.
Lin Feng was stunned after hearing this. He didn't expect this "extraordinary" auction house to have such weird rules, but since these are other people's rules, he can only abide by them. Isn't it just luxury goods? He spent hundreds of thousands with his own wealth.
It’s not too luxurious to buy something that you can only look at but not use.
"Oh, one more thing, the owner of the 'Extraordinary' auction house wants his store to be a place for upper-class dignitaries to communicate, and does not want any inappropriate scenes to occur. Therefore, boss, no matter what kind of difficulties you encounter in there, you must control it.
Stay calm." Wu Zhaopu warned, "Few people know who this 'extraordinary' boss really is, but now Shanghai's richest man, Zhou Zhengyi, doesn't dare to be too presumptuous."
Shocked! Lin Feng was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the boss behind this "extraordinary" auction house was so powerful. Even Zhou Zhengyi, the richest man in Shanghai, didn't dare to act arrogantly there. No wonder an auction house has so many rules.
Lin Feng nodded, indicating that he understood.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Feng took Li Zhiyou to the "Extraordinary" auction house.
It has to be said that the "Extraordinary" auction house is a place where the upper class gathers. Lin Feng's Mercedes-Benz S600 can be said to be the most inconspicuous car here. Most of the people parked here are rich and luxurious cars like Bentley.
Bentley cars are most renowned for their excellent craftsmanship and demanding material selection. Each car requires at least 400 high-quality cowhide hides, equivalent to about fifteen cows, and the required wood is all made of high-quality walnut burl.
In China, the extended version of the Bentley 728 is priced at 8.88 million yuan, and the flagship version of the elegant Mulliner 728 is priced at 11.88 million yuan. The sales volume of this car in mainland China ranks first in the world, and most of it is sold by
Purchased by wealthy people from Shanghai, Beijing and other places.
"Hello, distinguished sir, please show me your invitation letter." The waiter at the door was polite and polite, and his gestures showed the atmosphere of the upper class.
Lin Feng was secretly stunned. Even a doorman has such high quality. This "extraordinary" auction house is indeed not simple.
After presenting the invitation letter, Lin Feng and Li Zhiyou were brought in by a tall, beautiful young woman wearing a cheongsam. Wang Meng, who came with them, had to stay outside to wait for Lin Feng due to the rules of the "Extraordinary" auction house.
Lin Feng could clearly see that these doormen and female receptionists recognized Li Zhiyou, but there was no change in their expressions. They still upheld their duties. Their high quality made Lin Feng amazed.
After passing through several antique corridors, Lin Feng came to a hall that was extremely luxuriously decorated, with brilliant wall lights, yet extremely elegant.
When Lin Feng and Li Zhiyou arrived, there were already many people here, all of them were well-dressed, and the female companions around them were all young and beautiful. According to their relationship, they gathered in groups of three or five, without talking loudly or loudly.
Noisy, just drinking red wine and communicating in low voices.
Naturally, everyone saw Lin Feng and others coming in. Except for the occasional few people who glanced at Li Zhiyou in amazement, most of them turned a blind eye to Lin Feng.
"Brother Lin, I'm a little nervous..." Li Zhiyou came to this event for the first time. Knowing that the people present were all famous people in Shanghai, he was inevitably nervous. He grabbed Lin Feng's arm and didn't know what to do.
"Haha, friends, don't be nervous. It's my first time here too. But there's nothing to be nervous about. They are just ordinary people with more money and more power." Although it is Lin Feng's first time to come to such an occasion.
, but career success gives Lin Feng absolute confidence.
Maybe I am not as good as them in some aspects now, but I will definitely surpass these people in the future. - Lin Feng has global ambitions, so naturally he will not be intimidated by these rich people in front of him.
"Hey, old Dong, do you see? He seems to be a new member." A middle-aged man said, holding red wine and sizing up Lin Feng secretly.
"Haha, Lao Li, I think you have taken a fancy to that little girl!" Lao Dong is in his fifties and knows very well the character of his old friend next to him.
"Hey, everyone knows the love for beauty!" Lao Li didn't deny it, and drank the red wine in one gulp, "We'll see if this newcomer is qualified to enter our circle later.
.”
"Well, it's not that easy to enter our circle."
Several other groups, like Old Dong and Old Li, secretly looked at Lin Feng and thought about how to tease Lin Feng later. They had come here like this before, and now that a new member had arrived, they would naturally not let him go.
Opportunities for newcomers.
However, there was a pair of greedy eyes staring at Li Zhiyou in the crowd, completely ignoring the dissatisfaction of the sexy women around him.
Lin Feng didn't know anyone. Seeing that everyone ignored him, he didn't bother to warm his face and put his cold buttocks on his face. He took Li Zhiyou and sat down contentedly. It was rare that he had time to spare, so he just thought it was a date with Li Zhiyou. Anyway, although there were people here
There are many places, but it is extremely quiet, and with elegance everywhere, it is still a good place for a date.
While chatting and joking with Li Zhiyou, Lin Feng accidentally discovered a person - Zhou Zhengyi, the richest man in Shanghai.
Lin Feng was able to discover Zhou Zhengyi. Apart from his hairstyle, the woman next to him was the reason why Lin Feng noticed Zhou Zhengyi.
The woman next to Zhou Zhengyi was none other than the recently popular Taiwanese female star - Christine Yang. Seeing Christine clinging to Zhou Zhengyi like a bird, Lin Feng sighed. It seemed that the newspaper he read before his rebirth was about Christine Yang and Christine Yang.
Zhou Zhengyi's gossip is indeed not groundless.
Not long after, the lights dimmed, and as the waiter brought mellow red wine and a carefully prepared French meal, tonight's auction officially began. This is also the characteristic of an "extraordinary" auction, the auction is held during a wonderful dinner.
.
"First of all, let me introduce tonight's new member, Chairman of 'Second World', Lin Feng, who is also the chairman of Dingdang.com and the Qidian fast food chain, Director Lin." The auctioneer introduced Lin Feng loudly at the beginning, and the lights also
Cooperate and hit Lin Feng.
Lin Feng stood up with a smile and signaled to everyone. Lin Feng was not surprised at all that the "Extraordinary" auction house could find out his true identity. Even the richest man in Shanghai, Zhou Zhengyi, did not dare to act presumptuously. If the "Extraordinary" auction house could not find out his
The bottom line is, that’s a joke.
Everyone burst into applause. This is the rule of the "Extraordinary" auction house, which welcomes new members. Of course, if Lin Feng doesn't buy a luxury item to go home later, I'm afraid his company will suffer a lot in Shanghai in the future.
of making things difficult.
Under the focused light, Lin Feng did not notice that Zhou Zhengyi, the richest man in Shanghai, gave Lin Feng a rare glance after hearing Lin Feng's introduction, but there was a hint of disgust and disdain in his eyes.
After the introduction, the auctioneer directly started tonight's theme.
"Tonight, as usual, there will be a total of nine items for auction. Friends who need it, please do it as soon as possible." The auctioneer said this, which was actually a code for Lin Feng. This is also the rule of the "Extraordinary" auction house, and it is for new members.
take care of.
In each auction, the "Extraordinary" auction house only auctions nine items. If a new member does not have the strength, it is best to buy the first one. Otherwise, the prices of subsequent items will become more and more expensive, and it is very likely that the new member will not be able to buy it.
, this is what the "Extraordinary" auction house tries to avoid.
Of course, the further back you take pictures, the more you can show your financial resources, and the more recognized you will be, and the sooner you can integrate into this circle.
The first auction item was a set of Wedgwood bone china, a teapot, and four teacups.
Wedgwood bone china ware uses animal bone meal as the main raw material and has amazing endurance. Four coffee cups can lift a 15-ton earth truck. Of course, the price is also extremely expensive. In specialty stores in mainland China
, a Wedgwood porcelain bowl sells for thousands of dollars.
Of course, the set being auctioned tonight will not be ordinary Wedgwood bone china, but a gift presented to Emperor Qianlong when the British mission went to China in 1793. However, the four tea bowls have been lost, and only the teapot has been lost.
It was still the original product, but later someone made a set of four imitation tea bowls.
