C15 Underground Auction House

As the two of them passed through the nameless alley, Yang Bo became alert. "If it's too far, then there's no need to go."

"Not far, not far. It's just a little ahead." Lee Er explained, and continued, "Don't worry, I won't go to a remote and uninhabited alley. After all, I have to consider the customer's needs!"

Yang Bo nodded. "Why did you suddenly choose me?"

Lee Er was slightly stunned. "Oh, didn't you notice? Many people in the market are picking and choosing, but most of them are holding the items they bought. Some people even need to put them in their snake skin bags. Very few people are as carefree as you, not holding anything in your hands!"

"This means one thing. You definitely don't like the items over there. Isn't this kind of person our customer?"

"I don't have much money on me." Yang Bo continued.

Lee Er did not care. "If you don't have much money on you, that means your money is in your card. You don't have to worry about that. Even if you don't have money, this time, you just have to take a look and familiarize yourself with our operations. Next time, you can prepare more!"

Yang Bo was surprised. He guessed that the other party was not the kind of person who sold stolen goods, because many of them were close to the Antique City. Hearing the tone of the other party, this was actually a long-term business!

Soon, Lee Er stopped and pointed to a small courtyard. "This is it."

Yang Bo raised his head and looked over. The green brick and green tiles, the small courtyard style, and the fact that he had once passed by here before, he did not know that this place had actually been transformed.

Lee Er knocked on the door in a very regular pattern. When the door opened, the person who opened the door called out to Lee Er, and Yang Bo followed him in.

The room was low and short. A dim yellow light was emitted from the pale yellow lamp, and there were already a few people sitting in the room. Everyone was sitting on chairs, calm and composed, sipping tea and chatting. The tea fragrance in the room was overflowing.

When Yang Bo walked in, everyone turned their heads to look at him. With just a glance, they turned their heads away. It was Yang Bo's first time here, and everyone felt that he was unfamiliar. Furthermore, he was young and came alone, so he did not attract too much attention.

Yang Bo sensed a gaze staring at him. He raised his head and looked over. That person was dressed in black, and his sparse hair was glossy and shiny. His hair was neatly combed to the back. It was Vice Curator Qu!

Vice Curator Qu looked over for a moment, then quickly turned his head away. Yang Bo was extremely surprised. He did not expect to see him so soon. Previously, he was almost tricked by Vice Curator Qu, but it was also him who followed him. After all, he was slightly at fault. Furthermore, he was thinking about making money every day, so he was unwilling to cause trouble. Of course, he was definitely not afraid of trouble!

Yang Bo sized up the place again. There were about seven or eight groups of people in the room. Some people came alone, and there were a few people accompanying them.

After Yang Bo sat down, he looked at the layout of the place. It was more like a small tea house. There was a stage in front of them, but of course, there was no stage. Everyone seemed to be sitting around a table in the north. Yang Bo chose the most remote location. This was his first time here, so he hoped to observe.

In fact, when Yang Bo saw this scene, he had already guessed that this was the way of doing business here. Only underground auctions would be like this. However, there were few people here, so the bidding would not be too intense. He just did not know how good the quality of the goods was.

Yang Bo felt a little regretful. If he had known that he would encounter this kind of thing, he would have taken more money!

Soon, with the sound of footsteps, the place became quiet. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to it.

A person walked in from outside the door with big strides. He cupped his hands at the crowd and said, "Thank you for your support. Thank you for your visit. The conditions are simple. Please forgive me!"

Lu Li turned his head and saw a man with a square face and big ears. His face was as sharp as a knife, and it was obvious that he had a firm temperament.

Everyone laughed and did not answer him. That person seemed to be used to this. He walked to the center of the room and said, "Alright, I won't say too much. It's the same as before."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked around. When he saw Yang Bo, he was suddenly stunned. "Oh? We have a new friend today. Let me introduce him to you!"

"My surname is Mei, and I am called Mei Laosan. Our transactions are a little more casual, but we still have to abide by the rules. Also, no one is allowed to take pictures or record anything. If you discover anything, don't blame me for not warning you!"

When he said this, Mei Laosan's face turned solemn. He looked around the crowd like a majestic lion patrolling its territory.

Yang Bo did not have any reaction. These were all part of the rules, and he had no intention of doing these things.

" Laosan, hurry up and start. I have heard enough of this. I wonder if you have gotten any good items this time?" An old man in his sixties said impatiently.

Mei Laosan's face was full of smiles. "Grandpa Yu, just wait and see. This time, I will definitely teach you to be satisfied!"

"Alright, let's start now!"

As he spoke, someone brought over a tray. The tray was placed on the table in the middle, and it was a blue and white vase!

"If you are interested, you can come up and take a look!" Mei Laosan said with a smile.

From afar, the first vase looked like it had a thin neck and a white enamel surface, like a beautiful woman in her twenties standing in front of him. The vase had a complete set of poems on it, full of elegance, which attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

Yang Bo noticed that most of the rules in the hall were set by the elders. Everyone went up one by one, so he was not in a hurry. Only when most of the people went up did he follow. Participating in this kind of transaction was a rare learning opportunity, so he naturally would not miss it.

After looking carefully, a circle of light appeared in front of him. A wisp of light flew into his eyes. Yang Bo nodded slightly. He could tell that this blue and white porcelain vase was around the Shunzhi period, which was extremely rare.

Yang Bo sat back down and thought for a moment. He knew that it was impossible for him to get it. Even if he swiped all of the 170,000 yuan in his card, he would not be able to get it.

Sure enough, Mei Laosan said: "The starting bid is 100,000 yuan. Each increment must be no less than 1,000 yuan!"

There was no ordinary person who could appear in such a place. The bidding voices rang out.

"100,000!"

"110,000!"

"130,000!"

...

"180,000!"

Yang Bo looked at the situation in the auction house and felt a little relieved. His mentality gradually calmed down. Not every antique was for him to pick up. He was already satisfied if he could earn enough medical expenses. He did not want to think too much about it.

The bidding was not as intense as before, and it quickly stopped.

"230,000!" An old man with the surname Yu said.

No one in the auction house responded. Mei Laosan smiled and said, "Grandpa Yu, this is yours!"

Yang Bo estimated that the actual price of this vase was a few tens of thousands higher. It could be considered a small pick-up. After all, he still had to pay taxes and procedures in the auction house.
