บท 1955: Entering the Auction House

"Alright. Are we really going to the auction house tomorrow? What's an auction house for?" Xia He asked curiously.

The Xia family had been in the military for generations and a few of them went into politics. It was only after Qiao Mei married into their family that the Xia family started doing business and gradually understood some business matters. Back home, the situation was generally different from other countries and private transactions were not allowed. Coupled with the fact that the country was very protective of antiques and confiscated most of it from private owners, Xia He had never come into contact with a large-scale auction like this one.

"It's a place where precious jewelry, antiques or land are auctioned. The highest bidder gets the item. Most of the items that are being auctioned off are very valuable and priceless. Due to that, the auction house will only admit people who are of a certain financial standing," Qiao Mei explained.
