Chapter 164 (1/2)
The venue of the auction is in the center of the village. It is an ancient style pavilion. It looks very stylish and stands out in this remote village.
Zhang Yi had seen it from a distance when he came, but because the auction had not yet begun, the building was closed and no one was allowed to enter.
The building was only opened when the auction began today.
For a time, all sides gathered, and leaders from all over the world came in one after another. There were top multinational consortia, Western nobles, ancient family leaders, and men with pale and gloomy temperament holding a big black umbrella in broad daylight.
The venue is very large. There are four floors above, in a barrel shape. Upstairs is a VIP room. Only distinguished people are eligible to have independent private rooms upstairs. Without exception, these big people are world-class super rich or super powerful leaders.
The specification is very high. Even Meng Nantian, the head of a first-class Chinese family, can only sit on the ground floor, not to mention Xu Minghui. It took a lot of effort for him to get an invitation.
There is no independent private room on the ground floor, only rows of seats, dense, can accommodate thousands of people.
Just as Zhang Yi and Xu Minghui were about to take their seats, a young woman wearing cheongsam and elegant temperament came over with a smile, followed by two men in black Zhongshan suits, similar to bodyguards.
Zhang Yi took a look and turned out to be two masters comparable to the ancient martial arts master.
”Excuse me, is that Mr. Zhang Yizhang?”
Cheongsam woman is an oriental face, with beautiful features and graceful figure. She looks about one meter seven or eight. She looks tall when she steps on a pair of high heels.
Her voice is very nice, there is a kind of gentle feeling, which makes people feel like a spring breeze.
”I am!”
Zhang Yilue was slightly surprised. He was sure he had never seen each other, and he didn't know anyone except Xu Minghui when he came here.
”Hello, Mr. Zhang! Well, I'm one of the principals of the auction house. I'm here to ask you to move to the fourth floor. It's our honor for distinguished guests like you to come to our auction and deserve an independent box! ”
The cheongsam woman smiled and had a unique style. Her attitude surprised some big men who had been seated around.
Xu Minghui, who was nearby, couldn't help showing an excited expression, quietly lowered his voice and said to Zhang Yi, ”Mr. Zhang, the fourth floor is the most noble private room. Unexpectedly, the auction house has arranged a box on the fourth floor for you!”
Although he is also the first time to participate in this underground auction, he also knows some information here through some special channels.
The more guests on the fourth floor, the more noble their status is. People like Zhang Jia, who is among the top ten ancient martial families in China, are naturally qualified to go upstairs, but only on the second floor.
And Zhang Yi was directly arranged to the fourth floor by the people of the auction house. What a honor! No wonder Xu Minghui is so excited!
”Oh, this is my friend. Can you come up with me?”
Zhang Yi nodded slightly, then pointed to Xu Minghui around him and asked.
It seems that he killed three masters last night, which attracted the attention of the organizers, so he got such treatment.
”All guests with invitations are eligible to carry at least three friends, and you can carry eight!”
The cheongsam woman always smiled and explained patiently.
”Well, please lead the way!”
Zhang Yi got up and went upstairs in the envy and awe of those big men around him.
Because those who can go upstairs are the leaders of the world's super first-class forces, representing an incomparably noble identity.
Soon, Zhang Yi was taken to a box on the fourth floor. Although it was not as luxurious as expected, it was antique and very stylish.
The tables and chairs are made of red sandalwood, and the cups are precious jade. Zhang Yi glanced at them and found that they are the best Imperial Green, which is worth hundreds of millions!
There is also a wine cabinet in the box, which stores all kinds of world-famous wines, such as whisky, vodka, brandy and Raffi, which are limited edition in the secular world.
”What would Mr. Zhang and your friend drink?”
The cheongsam woman asked with a smile.
”Do you have any tea?”
Zhang Yi asked. He was not interested in these wines.
”Of course!”
The cheongsam woman turned and took out several blue and white porcelain from a huge drawer.
”Here are West Lake Longjing, Tieguanyin, Taiping Houkui, Dahongpao. What kind of tea would you like to drink, Mr. Zhang?”
