Chapter 901 Auction House

In the car, Nie Wei started the car and asked, "Mr. Chen, where are we going?"

Chen Ping directly said a place name.

Nie Wei was stunned for a moment, then a troubled look suddenly appeared on his face, he smiled wryly and said, "Mr. Chen, I forgot one thing."

Chen Ping looked over in astonishment.

Nie Wei's face turned bitter: "Mr. Chen, I've never been to the Magic City. I don't know where this place you're talking about is?"

Chen Ping's face darkened suddenly.

The two of them have completely forgotten about this matter by coincidence!

Since arriving in the magic city yesterday, Zhang Kangnian took them no matter whether they went to the branch office or the villa in Yuteng's homeland. Today, Chen Ping didn't even take Nie Wei with him when he went to Huayan Electronics Company. He was by himself at all. Went there by subway.

Thinking of this now, Chen Ping was also a little helpless.

After being silent for a long time, Chen Ping also sighed helplessly.

Even smartphones are still new these days, let alone GPS navigation.

In desperation, Chen Ping could only say with a wry smile: "Go ahead, I'll show you the way!"

Along the way, what Chen Ping said felt a little dry.

Magic City is not just a small city like Anhe City.

The area of ​​the magic city ranks among the top in the entire China. It is much larger than the urban area of ​​Anhe City.

Driving from the southern part of the magic city to the furthest place in the northern part, even if the road conditions are not bad, it will take more than an hour!

Along the way, Chen Ping has been showing Nie Wei the way, and Nie Wei is also a little embarrassed.

As Chen Ping's bodyguard and part-time driver, Nie Wei didn't even know the way himself, and he needed Chen Ping to guide him. It really made Nie Wei feel a little ashamed. path of.

At least the general direction, how to go, must be well known. When taking Chen Ping out in the future, even if he takes the wrong road and wastes some time, he can no longer let Chen Ping personally guide him.

Anyway, I have good driving skills. If the time is really tight, the worst thing is to drive wildly in the urban area, and the speed of the car will always be kept at the speed limit, which is not bad. For Nie Wei, this is not a difficult task.

After finally arriving at the place and parking the car, Nie Wei also asked curiously: "Mr. Chen, where is this?"

Chen Ping smiled lightly: "This is the North District of the Magic City, and there is an auction here today!"

Hearing Chen Ping talk about the auction, Nie Wei's eyes lit up: "Is it a land auction? Mr. Chen, are you planning to use real estate to open up the market in the magic city?"

Chen Ping was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Nie Wei strangely and asked, "Why do you think so?"

Nie Wei was also a little dazed, and asked back: "Isn't it? I've never heard of Mr. Chen, you have participated in other auctions!"

Chen Ping shook his head with a wry smile.

Indeed, since his rebirth, Chen Ping has been busy with the affairs of the Pingyu Group, and he rarely even had contact with people outside the Pingyu Group. As for the occasions that the so-called successful people often attend, Chen Ping seldom participated.

For example, Chen Ping has almost never participated in the receptions, auctions, dances, etc. that are often held in the business world. For more than three years, the number of times Chen Ping attended similar occasions can be counted on one hand!

Therefore, it is not surprising that Nie Wei has such an idea. After all, Chen Ping has participated in several land auctions.

Chen Ping shook his head involuntarily, and denied it: "No, this is a charity auction. It is said that the scale is not small. You just follow me. Maybe it will surprise you!"

Nie Wei scratched his head, curled his lips and smiled slightly: "It's not the land auction, I'm not even interested in watching it anymore."

Chen Ping asked amusedly, "How do you say?"

Nie Wei chuckled, a look of excitement flashed in his eyes and said with a smile: "Mr. Chen, you have participated in two land auctions in the Linhai Provincial Business Alliance.

The feeling of strategizing is so admirable! "

Chen Ping glanced at Nie Wei with a smile, and casually joked a few words about this guy who suddenly learned to flatter, and didn't say anything more.

So soon, the two of them came to the door of the auction venue.

The magic city is quite different from ordinary small cities, and even some provinces.

In the capital cities of many provinces, it is rare to see formal auction houses, but in the magic city, there are quite a few!

Of course, the family that Chen Ping came to at this moment is the largest among them.

The entire auction house has five floors, and the bottom floor is just a reception hall.

The second floor is dedicated to receptions and dances. Many parties will be held in several reception halls on the second floor. It is said that renting one night costs hundreds of thousands, and even the two largest reception halls cost up to two hundred. How much!

The third floor is some small auction halls. The largest one can only accommodate hundreds of people, and the smallest one can only accommodate ten people. After all, modern auctions are not necessarily all large-scale. , is actually a guaranteed place.

Some people don’t know each other, they only met each other once, but they have important things to trade, they don’t have any basis of trust between them, ordinary contracts, etc., there is no way to confirm the credibility.

Therefore, such an intermediary place is needed to charge one percent, or even one thousandth, as a guarantee between the two parties. In this way, whether it is goods or money, it is directly handed over to the auction house. It is only a small price to pay for the incomparable trust of both parties.

As for the fourth floor, there are two large auction halls.

One of them is opened every three days. The auction house collects various items and conducts auctions. Within a month, a medium-sized auction is held, a large-scale auction is held every six months, and a rare auction is held every three years. The higher the level, The higher the value of something that appears, the rarer it is!

As for the other large auction hall, it is specially used for other auction occasions, such as land auctions, or a certain faction has offered something, but they don't want the auction house to host it, just want a venue for the auction, you can Leasing, but the price of leasing is as high as at least five million!

Chen Ping had heard of this auction house countless times in his previous life, but he had never been qualified to enter this auction house!

After all, Chen Ping in his previous life was just an ordinary programmer. Even if he became one of the shareholders of Huayan Electronics Company and held 5% of the shares of Huayan Electronics Company, he was not qualified to enter the auction house at all. Inside!

But now it's different.

Today's auction on the fourth floor is a large-scale auction jointly held by the auction house, several big families, and several large group companies. Under normal circumstances, there is no way to enter the fourth floor without an invitation. of.

In the reception hall on the first floor, at the door of several elevators leading to the fourth floor, there are two security guards and a receptionist politely waiting for the guests to visit.

Chen Ping took Nie Wei to the door of one of the elevators.

After the receptionist saw Chen Ping, before Chen Ping could speak, he said respectfully and softly: "Good evening, sir, there is an important auction going to be held on the fourth floor today, if there is no invitation card, There is no way to enter the fourth floor, please show your invitation card, sir!"

The tone of the other party was very calm, without any disrespect.

For the auction house, there will never be a matter of watching people order dishes.

Even if a beggar came here, the auction house would not boss around, and would be equally polite and treat everyone equally.

After all, many rich people have a bit of bad taste, wearing clothes from roadside stalls and walking all over the street in flip-flops, there are many people there!

Therefore, in the face of visiting guests, the first thing the hospitality staff needs to do is to explain why people without invitations are not allowed to enter the fixed floor of the auction house, and then let the other party show the invitations to avoid conflicts.

Chen Ping also nodded slightly, and then said indifferently: "I don't have an invitation."

A look of embarrassment suddenly appeared on the face of the receptionist: "I'm sorry sir, today's situation is special. If there is no invitation card, I have no authority to let you enter the fourth floor."

Chen Ping nodded, took out a business card, and handed it to the receptionist in front of him: "This is my business card, can you inform me?"

The receptionist took the business card without even looking at the content on it, and immediately said, "Yes sir, please wait a moment!"

After finishing speaking, the receptionist walked into the elevator with his business card, and the two security guards next to him bowed slightly to Chen Ping and blocked the elevator door.

Chen Ping stood here and waited.

The reception staff will not look at the business card until they walk into the elevator.

Regardless of whether the other party is qualified or not, the receptionist cannot directly refuse in person, he can decide whether to report on his own, but in front of the other party, the receptionist must enter the elevator, go to the fourth floor, and then come down again, indicating that he has asked for instructions , Give the other party enough face, so as not to give the other party a feeling that the reception staff looks down on others.

But after entering the elevator, the receptionist looked at the business card and frowned slightly.

This business card was exactly the same as the business card that Chen Ping gave to the round-faced girl at the front desk of Huayan Electronics Company. The reception staff could naturally tell that this business card was a bit special, and it should not be a work of ordinary people making trouble out of no reason.

Although Chen Ping was young, and was so young that the receptionist was surprised, but judging by the indifferent demeanor of the other party, and this business card, the other party was not an ordinary person.

That being the case, the reception staff also made a decision, and after reaching the fourth floor, they hurried into a room.

In the room, there were two middle-aged men and an old man who were chatting boredly. When they saw the receptionist walk in, one of the middle-aged men looked over and asked casually: "Where are you going?" What's the matter?"

The receptionist came to the middle-aged man, and respectfully handed over the business card in his hand: "Mr. Ma, a young man came downstairs, in his early twenties, without an invitation card, so he gave me his business card. Let me report."

He quickly told the whole story, and then stood aside respectfully with his hands down.

The middle-aged man, Mr. Ma, took the business card. After looking at it, he immediately frowned, as if he was a little surprised, and looked at the other two with a smile: "Brother Song, Mr. Fang, take a look."

The other middle-aged man, Mr. Song, and the old man, Mr. Fang, both looked over in surprise, and looked at the business card that Mr. Ma handed over.

Mr. Song frowned: "Pingyu Group? Is there such a company in Shanghai?"

Elder Fang laughed immediately, and looked at the receptionist: "You said the other party is a young man in his early twenties?"

The receptionist nodded quickly.

Old Fang turned his chair, operated on the computer for a while, and then turned the screen around: "Is it him?"

The receptionist only took one look, then nodded and said, "It's him!"

Mr. Fang laughed, looked at each other with Mr. Ma, and said in unison: "Go and write a new invitation for him, and invite him to the fourth floor!"
