Beauty and the Bodyguard

The auction is held over three days, with different items being auctioned each day. Of course, it does not mean that one invitation can participate in three auctions. The golden invitations that can participate in three auctions can only be owned by those big families and a very small number of celebrities. Ordinary red invitations have it marked that they can participate in three auctions. Whichever game you participate in is only valid on that day. Red invitations can be obtained by ordinary rich people and most celebrities. Although they can also participate in auctions, they are not as noble as golden invitations.

Fatty Lai's invitation was a red invitation, but he had obtained all the invitations for three days, and the invitation sent to Guan Xuemin was a golden invitation, which was enough to show that Guan Xuemin was on an equal footing with those big families!

The items participating in the auction also become more valuable as the days increase. Although the auction items on the first day are also some rare items, the reserve prices are generally between several hundred thousand and two million, and will not exceed two million.

On the second day, the auction items were from 2 million to 5 million, and on the third day, there were more than 5 million auction items. Ordinary rich people can only participate in the auction on the first day. The second and third days are just for watching the excitement, so many people don’t bother to get the invitations for the second and third days. Even if they receive them, It’s also a gift for friends who like to watch the fun.

Although the types of invitations are different, there are no fixed seats in the auction house. After entering, people are often seated randomly, and close family friends will sit closer. And since there are so many seats in the auction house, not even one-third of the seats can be filled by the people who come, so there is no need to worry about not being able to find a seat.

Lin Yi, Guan Xuemin and Fatty Lai just found a place with few people and sat down.

After a while, more and more people came to the auction house one after another, and people from various families came, but generally speaking, the heads of the major families would not show up.

The lights gradually dimmed, and several spotlights were turned on on the auction stage in front. A man in his thirties came out from behind the scenes, and the auction room suddenly became quiet.

"Welcome all guests to the annual auction held by the Yu Family!" After the man finished speaking, he bowed politely, and the audience burst into thunderous applause.

"Yu Family?" Lin Yi was slightly startled, and a hint of excitement flashed across his originally calm face, and then returned to normal.

"Boss, the Yu family is one of the largest and most mysterious families among all aristocratic families. Although it was established in the past ten years, it has suddenly become the first of all aristocratic families!" Fatty Lai explained to Lin Yi in a low voice. He said: "It is best not to offend the people of the Yu family, but with your status, boss, hey, even the people of the Yu family will fawn over you, right?"

"Huh? Really..." Lin Yi smiled faintly: "Who is that person in front of you?"

"This person's name is Yu Haitian. He is not the core of the Yu family. He is just a collateral member. However, he is already the target of outsiders' fawning. He can act as the agent for the family's auction on his own outside." Fatty Lai said.

Lin Yi took a deep breath, nodded silently, and said with a smile: "There shouldn't be any intersection."

"Yes, the people in the Yu family are very mysterious, and I don't know what they do, but they are involved in many businesses, but the people sent to take care of it are not the core members of the Yu family." Fatty Lai shook his head with a smile. He shook his head and said: "Let's continue watching the auction. Our longevity and detoxification pill is actually scheduled to be auctioned today. These people are blind and don't know good things!"

Thinking that the base price of the longevity and detoxification pill was set at one million, Fatty Lai felt a little unhappy. How could such a good thing be worth only one million? Isn't this a scam?

"Ha...it's nothing." Lin Yi shook his head: "It's beyond my expectation that it can be priced at one million. After all, it has not been recognized by others. You have to try it to know the effect."

"That's right." Fatty Lai didn't hesitate anymore after hearing what Lin Yi said: "By the way, boss, if you want to see something, just tell me and I'll help you get it!"

"Okay." Lin Yi was not polite. At this auction, he might not be able to find anything he likes. At least there was one thing today that Lin Yi was bound to get.

Lin Yi has already seen today's auction list. The third collection is a cracked parchment scroll and a broken map. Of course, if ordinary people look at it, this may be an old map. Even if it is an antique, it is not worth much, but it is a bit novel.

The most important thing is that this map is obviously only a small part, not a complete map, so it is basically a waste product, with little collection value or actual value.

If Lin Yi didn't have the fragment of the picture taken out from the shark's belly, Lin Yi wouldn't pay attention to this useless garbage. But judging from the thumbnail in the directory, the map's material, workmanship, and even the strokes of the painting were exactly the same as the residual map he had obtained from the shark's belly, so Lin Yi naturally became interested.

"How many people will be fighting for this thing?" Lin Yi knew little about auctions and didn't know what would be popular, so he pointed to the broken picture and asked Fatty Lai.

"Pfft..." Fatty Lai glanced at the collection Lin Yi was pointing to and couldn't help but widen his eyes: "No, boss, are you interested in this?"

"What? Is there any problem?" Lin Yi frowned, not knowing what Fatty Lai's expression meant.

Fatty Lai also felt that his expression was a bit exaggerated, and he quickly explained with some embarrassment: "Boss, in this auction, the higher the auction items are, the less valuable they are, and the fewer people will buy them. Of course, it is not ruled out that there will be dark horses. ! But to be honest, I really don’t see the use of this crap..."

"Oh, then help me take a picture." Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. It would be really difficult if there were many people fighting for it. In the album, the base price of the remaining pictures is 100,000 yuan. It seems that as Fatty Lai said, it is not a popular item.

The first auction item was a complete uncarved jadeite. If this kind of thing were held at an ordinary auction, it would be the final treasure. But here, there are very few bidders. Obviously those who really The aristocratic families and wealthy people don't care about this at all.

The jadeite with a reserve price of 1 million was finally bought for 1.2 million by a boss holding a red invitation, and it did not attract much attention or noise.

The second collection is actually a celebrity date with a base price of 100,000. It is a date letter sent by a little star. The winner can go on a date with this little star...
