When Cai Wenhong heard this, he just smiled and did not answer, because he was still continuing to bid and did not have time to explain to them that he had already negotiated with Gu Ning at that time. The bronze chimes already belonged to the Palace Museum and were gone now, but It's just a bidding process.
But even if I had time, I wouldn't explain it now, because it would be bad if other people heard it and it spread. Because this behavior is deceptive, not only [Xiangyunxuan] will be attacked, but the museum will also be attacked.
Therefore, Gu Ning said nothing.
Of course, when the bidding reached 8.5 billion, there was no more bidding. This was already higher than expected.
In the end, as expected, Cai Wenhong won the competition. No matter how much he shouted, he only had to pay 5 billion, so he was confident.
But this 8.5 billion has frightened many people, because many people thought that it would only be around 7 billion at most.
Everyone looked at Gu Ning, some envious, some jealous, feeling that Gu Ning made money too easily.
In this morning's auction, the most expensive item was only four to five billion.
Therefore, the gap from the 8.5 billion is too big and too prominent.
The bidding for the bronze chimes ended, and the morning auction ended. The auction will continue at 1:30 in the afternoon.
During this one-hour working time, everyone naturally went to eat. For lunch, [Huarong Auction House] provided it.
If there is an auction, the auction house will get a lot of profit, and it will be nothing more than covering everyone's meals.
If you don't want to eat at the auction house, you can go out and settle it yourself.
Gu Ning and Mr. Leng were not coming in the afternoon, so after the auction ended in the morning, they left together and went outside to eat by themselves.
This group of people included Gu Ning, Mr. Leng, Mr. Xu, Jiang Zhongyu, Cai Wenhong, Chen Darong, Xu Jingchen and Zi Beiying.
But before leaving, Gu Ning and Cai Wenhong needed to go backstage to register, but because the bronze chime was not there, the transaction could not be successful for the time being.
The auction house charges a certain fee for the items being auctioned, and 8.5 billion is a lot. However, because [Huarong Auction House] is a public auction house, and Cai Wenhong is the deputy executive officer of the Cultural Relics Bureau, so As long as Cai Wenhong says something, it can be avoided.
Of course, there are prerequisites for this. It's not just a matter of talking about an object that can eliminate the need for layer extraction. It's just like Gu Ning and Cai Wenhong's transaction.
After registering, the group left.
When the people around saw that Gu Ning left with Mr. Leng and others, they felt that their friendship was even more profound.
Mr. Yuan and Yuan Yilin did not participate in the afternoon, so they also left.
After getting in the car, Mr. Yuan asked seriously Wen Yuan Yilin: "What's going on between you and that Gu Ning?"
Facing Mr. Leng, Yuan Yilin did not dare to lie, so she told her what happened at school, the conflict between Gu Ning and Yuan Shuyan, and her warning to Gu Ning. No embarrassment.
"It's just nonsense. Is it possible for the Yuan family and the Rong family to be together? Go and warn Yuan Shuyan and tell her not to have anything to do with Rong Zechen." Mr. Yuan reprimanded displeasedly because he has an antagonistic relationship with the Rong family. reason, so when he heard that his Yuan family actually liked the Rong family and caused such things, Mr. Yuan was extremely uncomfortable and felt that he had lost face to the Rong family.
Although Yuan Shuyan is just a side branch, it is also his Yuan family, and the honor and disgrace are also together. "Yes" Yuan Yilin responded.
In fact, she also said that to Yuan Seoyan, but when you really like someone, you won't be able to control yourself, even if the other person doesn't care about you at all.
Although Yuan Shuyan knew that there was no possibility between herself and Rong Zechen, so she did not say anything about her liking for Rong Zechen, but most people knew that making rumors would really bring shame to the Yuan family.
"Also, the matter between you and Gu Ning is over. Focus on business." Mr. Yuan warned again.
Although many things that happened were related to Gu Ning, he did not think that these were all Gu Ning's fault. Therefore, the old man had no intention of arguing with Gu Ning. After all, Gu Ning was just a small person to him. That’s all.
But he just didn't like Gu Ning.
Gu Ning and his party didn't go too far, so they went to a nearby private restaurant.
However, as soon as they left the auction house, Gu Ning realized that they were being followed.
Because of driving, Gu Ning couldn't drive backwards, but he was sure that it was related to the bronze chime.
Although the bronze chime bell has been photographed by Cai Wenhong, it does not mean that everyone can be willing to do so! Especially Harada Motoichi, the musical instrument expert at the XX Concert Hall in the capital of the Imperial Japanese Kingdom, who previously kidnapped Chen Darong for the bronze chime bell.
Of course, Gu Ning was not sure that it was him. It might have been someone else. The first person who thought it was Harada Motoichi was because the people in his country were more barbaric and unreasonable.
In about ten minutes, a group of people arrived at the private restaurant, and the person who was following them was still following them.
But after parking the car, Gu Ning could see who the other person was.
Gu Ning was really convinced that the people following them were really Harada Motoichi and his group.
Gu Ning's eyes were slightly narrowed, a little dark. She hadn't gone to find them yet, but they had found them first. But now is not the time to teach them a lesson, and the other party hasn't made any moves yet, so she should do whatever she needs to do for the time being.
Xu Jingchen had already booked a private room before coming, so after arriving, they went in directly.
Gu Ning's eyes were wary of them, and she saw Harada Motoichi and his party followed them in, and then also booked a private room, but it was far away from theirs.
After arriving at the private room and ordering the food, after the waiter left, Gu Ning said: "Grandpa Leng, Grandpa Xu, and Grandpa Jiang. Actually, there is one thing I didn't tell you. There were so many people just now that I couldn't say it. Now Let me tell you!"
"What's up?"
Hearing this, Mr. Leng and others asked curiously.
"Actually, when the bronze chime was verified that day, I had already reached a deal with Dean Cai. The bronze chime was sold to the Palace Museum for 5 billion. However, the bronze chime still had to attend the auction because I wanted to sell [Xiangyun] Xuan] is launched, so we must take advantage of the opportunity to publicize it." Gu Ning said.
Hearing this, several people were surprised.
"Hehe! Otherwise, I wouldn't be bidding so confidently today!" Cai Wenhong said with a proud smile.
