Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

Go out from this small hall.

Attorney Xia took out a thick auction catalog from the document bag she had just received.

"This Xiliang Seal Society auction has a very comprehensive range of items; they auction all sorts of things."

"Miss Lin, what items are you targeting this time?"

Xiaomeng was just here to broaden her horizons; what kind of items could she possibly be targeting? "I don't have any specific items in mind. So, they distribute a catalog of auction items before the auction?"

Xia was a little speechless. How could someone who didn't know anything come to the auction? But she still dutifully took on the important task of explaining.

"Yes, usually, several months before the auction starts, news will be sent out, including a catalog of the items to be auctioned and a preview of the items."

Because the number of items auctioned at each auction is usually very large, some large auction houses have thousands or even tens of thousands of items up for auction in a single session.

Therefore, it is necessary to participate in auctions in a targeted manner.

If you are interested in an auction item, you can even examine it yourself.

"You can even touch it before the auction?" Xiao Meng was truly amazed.

"Yes, you can usually see the auction items at the preview."

"Can I go take a look now?"

"It is possible, but the auction is about to start, and you have at most half an hour."

So what types of auction items are you interested in?

There are several auction venues here, including those for calligraphy and paintings, ancient books and classics, antiques and collectibles, jewelry and porcelain.

Which one do you want to see?

“Then I’d like to see the antiques and jewelry/porcelain sections separately,” Xiaomeng replied.

This is mainly because Xiaomeng is not very educated and doesn't understand things like calligraphy, painting, and ancient books.

She can roughly tell whether the colors in ancient paintings are good or not, but she doesn't really understand calligraphy works.

Not to mention those ancient books, the traditional characters are truly incomprehensible.

Xiaomeng felt she was not fortunate enough to enjoy such a culturally rich item.

You can only look at things that are relatively straightforward.

After asking the staff, Xiaomeng and Xiaxia arrived at the third floor.

All the tables, chairs, and benches in the main halls and side halls on the third floor of the hotel have been cleared out and replaced with rows of display cases.

Groups of people wandered among these display cases.

There were staff members wearing price tags, and people holding auction item lists, carefully examining the collections.

Time was running out, so Xiaomeng could only quickly walk through the collection, leaving herself with a rough impression.

There are a lot of exhibits, but even fewer that leave a lasting impression at first glance.

Most of the antique exhibits looked rather plain and unremarkable.

It wasn't until she saw a few pieces of imperial porcelain from the Qianlong era that Xiaomeng became interested.

It was a 30-centimeter-tall famille rose porcelain plum vase, an export item that had been brought back from overseas. It was exquisitely crafted and the colors were a lovely pink.

The starting price is 20.

Xiaomeng added it to her target list.

Although there is a Ru kiln brush washer in front of this plum vase, which is smaller in size, it is worth hundreds of thousands more.

However, from Xiaomeng's perspective, she still felt that the delicate pink plum vase was more appealing than the cultured brush washer.

When she saw the jewelry category, Xiaomeng finally found quite a few collectibles that interested her.

Xiaomeng wrote down the serial numbers of several pieces of jewelry.

After briefly looking at the preview, by the time Xiaomeng arrived at the auction's sub-venue, the auction had already begun.

The entire auction was held simultaneously in several separate venues within the hotel.

Antiques and collectibles and jewelry and porcelain will be auctioned in the same separate venue. The antiques and collectibles session will be from 9:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., and the jewelry and porcelain session will be from 11:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.

So she could just go straight to the antique and collectibles section. All the items she was interested in today were in that section.

As Xiaomeng sat down, she asked Tongzi in her mind, "Tongzi, have you given me an unlimited credit limit yet?"

"I have no idea how much I'll spend here. I don't want the rich girl's card to be empty."

The system remained silent and presented her with a 24-hour task list with no limit on the amount.

Seeing the familiar unlimited task list, Xiaomeng felt relieved.

……

They were filming a sandalwood brush holder from the Kangxi era, supposedly the work of a master craftsman, a master Xiaomeng had never even heard of.

The starting price is 5.

The competition was fierce, with the auctioneer on stage constantly bidding. Before long, the pen holder was bid up to 50.

Finally, it was sold to a middle-aged man for 55.

By the way, everyone at the auction looked quite ordinary.

Although everyone present was dressed in a business-like and sophisticated manner, they did not appear particularly wealthy.

If you were walking down the street, you would never guess that these people are the kind of people who can easily pull out tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy expensive collectibles.

"Wow, this uncle is amazing! He spent 55 yuan just to buy a pen holder." Xiaomeng couldn't help but complain to lawyer Xia.

"Actually, I can't see anything special about this pen holder either. Maybe it has high artistic value," Xia, the lawyer, could only casually offer her her understanding.

Soon it was Xiaomeng's turn to see the 60 yuan brush washer.

Zhanggongxiang Ru official kiln celadon glazed brush washer.

Xiaomeng hadn't planned to bid, but the speed at which the bid for the brush washer rose left her speechless.

From the very beginning, there were a dozen or twenty people constantly holding up signs.

Just five minutes later, the price of this brush washer reached 5 million.
