At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lin Qingyue pointed at an ancient, quaint Huizhou-style building in front of them. "The headquarters of the Linzhou Pavilion auction house is in Gusu; it's a prestigious auction house with a century of history. This one here in Hangcheng is a branch, and they hold a regular auction for rare treasures about once a month."
Lin Qingyue explained softly, "Sometimes, when there are special treasures, they'll also hold additional high-level auctions. But Linzhou Pavilion operates on an invitation-only basis; only those who receive an invitation can participate. Of course, if you have a treasure you want to auction, you can have Linzhou Pavilion sell it on your behalf after it's been approved by their appraisal experts. However, they take a ten percent commission from the profits. For member consignors, it's only five percent."
