Liu Lan ordered a large private room, which was more than enough for six people to sit in. She introduced her to people she didn't know.

When he learned about Fang Huaiyuan's identity, Zhou Bulu and Wu Qu suddenly became very cramped, especially Wu Qu. He did not expect that he could have dinner with the president of Capital University in his life. He did not expect that Fang Huaiyuan admired his works very much, and talked to him about his writing "The Golden House Hidden Beauty" and praised him for his good writing!

Liu Lan's heart was full of twists and turns. Principal Fang usually showed his emotions and anger. He smiled so well and kindly, and treated a person who had just met for the first time. It was really rare to see Principal Fang thanked Wu Qu for indirectly helping him avenge the revenge that Su Xue had ruined his works. Principal Fang did not say anything, but his face was not obvious, but he still had his own concern in his heart. Moreover, Wu Qu, 35, was about the same age as Fang Huaiyuan's only daughter who was in the beauty, and was of the same zodiac sign. It was not surprising that he was a little close to Wu Qu.

On the other hand, Yu Zhan whispered to Liu Lan, what was her expected price, and she seemed to be very familiar with the auction process. Liu Lan told him the three numbers he filled in and asked him, "Do you think it's high?"

Yu Zhan smiled and touched her head, "You should fill it higher."

When Su Yi heard the two of them whispering, he asked Liu Lan and the other two in a loud voice, "What is the expected price of each of your works? Tell me."

Liu Lan, Zhou Bulu and Wu Qu are both naughty and have no auction experience. They thought Su Yi was just asking for the price, so they said it all in a tone of reporting the results to the teacher.

Su Yi glanced at Fang Huaiyuan, and Fang Huaiyuan nodded slightly.

At 1:30 p.m., the auction entered the preparation stage.

Some media have already tried to sneak into the venue as bidders, but the hotel security personnel have discovered it and stopped them. However, there are more and more media people, and there are no people in the hotel who can stop them, so they have to report the specific situation to their leaders.

The auction companies and hotels were caught off guard. They seemed to underestimate Liu Lan's influence. This girl is now the focus of the media's eyes.

The media are not trying to cause trouble. They just want to report the news in real time during the auction and find some hot topics. It would be even better if they could broadcast them live.

The leaders of the auction company urgently discussed countermeasures. Auctions are usually games for the rich, and they have always been low-key. Their company will hold auctions for different themes every week, including art, real estate, and jewelry...

Many traded items are worth nearly a hundred times more valuable than the calligraphy works of newcomers to be auctioned today, but no media has ever taken the initiative to ask for an interview. The only place they make public is that before the auction, they open a buyer registration system on the official website and introduce the specific situation of the items. During the auction process, the price changes of the items on the official website will be updated in real time for those phone buyers to know the latest prices and make it easier to place an order.

This situation surprised them very much. It was the first time they met a calligrapher like Liu Lan who also had a super popular internet celebrity status.

The leaders quickly got a solution. They transferred a total of seven works by Liu Lan, Zhou Bukui and Wu Qu to the end and bid for other people's works first. During this period, the media was not allowed to enter. In order to avoid unexpected situations, they were even more afraid that media people would write news randomly, so they rented a hotel conference room and invited media people to serve them with good tea and snacks.

The authors of other auction works felt very uncomfortable when they heard about this. Isn’t it obvious that their works are not valued?! Will it affect the value of their works if suppressed by Liu Lan’s public opinion? This is what makes everyone unhappy, but they are all literati and poets, and they are both newcomers. They cannot cause trouble, but they can only swallow their anger.

At the parking area of ​​the hotel gate, cars come one by one. People who get out of the car are all dressed in wealthy clothes and delicate faces. They are the buyers of this auction. Most of the people who participate in this level of auction are small local tyrants or middle-class people with some spare money. They want to invest in one or several potential newcomers with the least amount of money, collect their works, and hope that their works will appreciate in the future and then sell them to make a big profit. This is the same as speculation on stocks and real estate speculation.

Buyers who can come to the scene must register in advance and pay a small deposit. They have a special electronic ID card, which will be a number on it, which is also the number written on the bidding number plate at that time. One can bring a companion into the venue, for example, Fang Huaiyuan takes Suyi with him.

At the designated time, the auction officially began.

The auctioneer in a black suit walked up to the stage and read to the buyer the rules that everyone must follow. This is a convention, just like before each exam, the invigilator would read the test rules.

This includes two most important parts: one is that for sellers, forgery and fraud are prohibited; the other is that for buyers, malicious price raising is prohibited.

After informing the rules, the auctioneer said, "Now start displaying the first work to be auctioned..." The auctioneer also introduced the author's background resume, such as whom he taught and what important awards he won. Only by describing these new authors as powerful and well-known can the rich people pay for his future potential. This is also a game and self-promotion.

The staff pushed a wooden stand with calligraphy and paintings onto the stage, and the author himself appeared at the same time as the work. The author first introduced the meaning of his work, creative background inspiration and other content to the buyer.

Then the auctioneer declared to the buyer, "Now I bid on behalf of the seller. The starting price of this ink and water flower and bird picture is 230,000 yuan. If someone responds to the starting price, please raise the license plate in your hand to pay the price. Please raise the sign and pay the price higher than your head. If there are two or more bidders who respond to the price at the same time, I have the right to designate any one of them."

...

Perhaps it was because Liu Lan was bidding on the same stage, which attracted most buyers. There was no high price in the new works in the new works in front of her, and five works failed. Three of them were because the expected price set by the author was too high and the price could not be increased, so they failed to sell them directly. The other two were because no one bid at all and left hastily. The author herself was very embarrassed. So she was not sure and should not auction her works rashly.

It was only more than two hours later that it was finally Liu Lan's turn to work.

The reporters had been impatient for a long time. Everyone wasted two hours. Isn’t it just for this rare auction live broadcast? Yes, the auction company was very kind and generous and allowed them to broadcast the auction process of Liu Lan and the other three live.
