Li Fei looked at her in surprise, "The auction's premium is that high?"
Li Manli made an affirming noise, explaining, "That's indeed the case, but not just anything is qualified to be auctioned. Those large-scale auctions usually invite many well-known individuals. Being invited means having a chance at recovery, or possessing an extreme desire in a certain field. Appearing at such an event actually bestows a dazzling aura on the artworks; just showing up at an auction significantly enhances the value of the items in the eyes of most collectors. The auction is the stage for artworks!
Our family's stage is the largest in our province."
Her analogy was simple and easy to understand. Li Fei immediately grasped her meaning and asked curiously, "Your family runs an auction house?"
Li Manli laughed softly, lifting her eyes to look at him, "Don't you know yet? Hasn't my sister told you?"
Li Fei shook his head emphatically, "I haven't asked!"
