At a quarter past nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Lin Dingqiang and Huo Jinwei came to the door of the Drouot auction house.

There were less than three hours left before boarding, but Huo Jinwei was not in a hurry at all, as relaxed as going out for a bend before leaving.

As the most famous auction house in Bali, there are antiques from all over the world, not only ceramics, calligraphy and paintings, but also jade, miscellaneous, and of course, the Huaxia Hall is a special existence.

Visitors do not need to register in advance, and can walk from one hall to another to participate in any transaction, as well as visit the exhibits in the window, consult the auction catalogue, and verify the value of the artwork.

The gray door gives people a first impression of professional rigor, and after sitting on the escalator, the two of them arrived in the lobby of Drouot.

There are more than 20 televisions hanging in the lobby, and each TV set corresponds to the products that are being auctioned and about to be auctioned in each exhibition hall.

Lin Dingqiang glanced at it and saw the auction in Hall 12.

The two volumes of the "Yongle Canon" copied again during the Jiajing period that started at nine o'clock have been auctioned for twenty minutes now, and they are still not over, which makes him feel curious and want to see what Zhou Yinhui's situation is.

Huo Jinwei also glanced at the display screen, and before Lin Dingqiang could speak, she said what he was thinking, "Ding Qiang, let's go see Dong Chou." ”

"Good. ”

The two came to the door of the No. 12 auction hall, the auction hall as a whole is red, and only about 50 folding iron chairs are placed in the room of about 200 square meters, and this exhibition hall is the most lively in the whole room, so that the door is full of people.

Lin Dingqiang looked up at the trading display screen in front of the room, which was marked with currency units such as euros, soft sister coins, and American knives.

And the price of these two Yongle canons has reached a high price of 57 million soft girl coins after more than 20 minutes of fierce battle.

In addition to Huo Jinwei, there was also a man in his early forties standing next to Lin Dingqiang, and his eyes were also listening straight to the screen.

Lin Dingqiang saw that the person sitting in the room held up the sign again, and the auctioneer muttered a lot, and the price on the screen became 58 million.

"The front area asked for 58 million. Huo Jinwei translated on the side: "It should be Dong Chou, right?"

Lin Dingqiang took a look, and from the familiar back of his head, he recognized that it was Zhou Yinhui, who was once in the café.

What Lin Dingqiang didn't expect was that within 10 seconds after Zhou Yinhui's bid, the auctioneer pointed his finger into the distance, and the price rose by another 1 million.

Huo Jinwei was also stunned for half a second, and then looked around Lin Dingqiang's body and saw the middle-aged man.

"The guy next to you. Huo Jinwei said closely.

Lin Dingqiang squinted at it, the dress of the person in front of him was not the type of mountain dew, a down jacket and sneakers that can be seen everywhere are completely standard passers-by.

Lin Dingqiang bowed his head and said to Huo Jinwei: "Could it be childcare?" After all, this auction house auctions first, and then pays for it after it is done. ”

Huo Jinwei laughed, "There is such a possibility! However, I think it's more like a seller." ”

"Seller?" Lin Ding said puzzled.

"Yes, if these two books don't reach his psychological price, he will raise his own cards. Huo Jinwei said timidly: "First, you can bid with other people who want to buy, and second, even if no one buys it, he will take it himself, and he only needs to pay a small service fee to get the baby back." ”

"That's it!" Lin Dingqiang suddenly realized, and Zhou Yinhui, who was sitting in the front row, raised the sign again and asked for 60 million.

"Huh, Mr. Lin, Sister Jinwei?"

A familiar voice sounded behind the two, and when Lin Huo and the others turned around, they saw Wang Yumeng with a smile on his face.

"Yumeng, why are you here?"

Wang Yumeng shook the manual in his hand, "I just arrived yesterday, come and sign the lease of the dock." I happened to see a dresser on the Internet and thought it was pretty good, so I took a look. ”

"Now your shipping company is regular, right?" said Lin Dingqiang.

Wang Yumeng nodded gratefully, "Thanks to you and Sister Jinwei, the current Hengtong Shipping has completely turned from negative to positive." The board of directors of the company is also working together to develop in a better direction. ”

Huo Jinwei smiled with relief: "That's good, the name of the Hong Kong Island royal family has not changed hands." ”

"By the way, Sister Jinwei, are you and Mr. Lin also here to buy something?" Wang Yumeng said curiously.

"Buy a firecracker. Huo Jinwei said with a smile.

Wang Yumeng frowned, "Fire Gun?"

“bang。 Huo Jinwei made a posture of aiming at the gun, and said with a smile: "Got it?"

Wang Yumeng is the first time to see Huo Jinwei make such an action, in her impression, although Huo Jinwei is not two or three years older than herself, she has always been the role of a confidant big sister, and she has always been calm.

In the face of Huo Jinwei's sudden change, she was still a little uncomfortable. However, she also heard Li Jianhu talk about Lin Dingqiang and Xin Qing's breakup, plus the photo of Huo Jinwei's circle of friends, and began to feel new about all these changes.

Wang Yumeng covered her mouth and smiled: "Sister Jinwei, you and Mr. Lin have only been out for such a while, why are they so similar in appearance?"

Huo Jinwei smiled and said, "Like?"

"It's kind of like. Wang Yumeng continued: "Sister Jinwei, which hall are you going to go to?"

“17。 ”

"Me too. Wang Yumeng said happily: "Why don't we go over now?"

Huo Jinwei nodded, "Okay." ”

And Lin Dingqiang looked back at the monitor in the room again, the current price has increased by 2 million compared to just now, and I don't know if Zhou Yinhui will follow.

When I came to the door of Hall 17, there were really not too many people coming to the auction compared to just now.

The dresser that Wang Yumeng wants to buy is actually a Gallic medieval object, with a starting price of less than 20,000 euros, and the auction order is in front of the fire gun that Lin Huo and the others want.

The three of them did not enter the auction hall and stood at the entrance of No. 17.

The little brother with a high nose and deep eyes carefully lifted the dresser out, and after the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, Wang Yumeng bid at a low price.

The amount of the bid appeared on the screen at the same time, and after about seven or eight seconds, no one grabbed it from Wang Yumeng, and the auctioneer decisively dropped the hammer.

At this time, the staff of the auction office came to Wang Yumeng's side, and after registering the information, they took away the bank card that would be used for payment, and then gave a small piece of paper like a payment note.

The dresser was lifted, and the introduction on the big screen was replaced by the upcoming firebolt.

Three or five staff members first carried a long table, and then two other people, wearing white gloves, put the fire gun used by the Qianlong Emperor on the table.

The gun is about 1.8 meters long, and the barrel is engraved with the words "Qianlong Year of the Qing Dynasty", and the inscription "Special First Class" is engraved on the breech of the barrel. Judging from the enlarged details, the condition of the entire firearm is indeed a treasure.

Compared with the dresser just now, the starting price of this firearm has directly reached 500,000 euros.

After the auctioneer presents the certificate, the auction officially begins.

To Lin Dingqiang's surprise, he was not the only one who wanted to buy this firecracker, and as soon as the auctioneer's words fell, many people at the scene raised their number plates and joined the bidding.

In just a few minutes, the price also soared from 500,000 euros to 700,000 euros.

However, Huo Jinwei was calm, no matter how lively the signs in the field were, she always held the number plate and watched silently.

"Don't lift it?" Lin Dingqiang asked curiously.

Huo Jinwei smiled lightly: "How tiring it is to keep lifting! When they are almost done, I will make another move." It is also possible to judge whether someone is deliberately raising the price. ”

The auction continued, but Huo Jinwei chatted with Wang Yumeng on the side, but her eyes looked at the movement in the venue every ten seconds or so.

At this time, thunderous applause came from the auction hall on Zhou Yinhui's side, and many foreigners screamed.

Lin Dingqiang took a sideways look, and on the screen in the corridor, he showed the transaction price of the Yongle Ceremony on both sides, no more, no less, a full 63 million soft girl coins.

Converted, one volume is 22.5 million.

It seems that Zhou Yinhui has really made a lot of money.

After some competition, the price of the fire gun has reached a high level of 1.8 million euros, and now the people who are holding the card are no longer enthusiastic at the beginning.

The auctioneer was still looking for a new buyer, and Huo Jinwei saw that it was almost time, and she had to go to the airport to board the plane quickly, so she raised the number plate and asked for 1.9 million euros.

Everyone's eyes looked at the door of Hall 17, Huo Jinwei was still so calm, and the smile on her face was still so confident.

"1.95 million. A Chinese in the front hall stood up, he was the bidder of 1.8 million just now, he thought that he was ready to register, but he didn't expect to kill a young girl he didn't know halfway.

Huo Jinwei raised her eyebrows slightly and bid again, "2 million." ”

As soon as this price came out, Wang Yumeng on the side was dumbfounded. It's not that she can't come up with the money, but she is impressed by Huo Jinwei's whole temperament.

2 million euros is almost nearly 16 million soft girl coins, Huo Jinwei was stunned and didn't blink her eyelids, just for the original oath.

Lin Dingqiang looked at the numbers on the screen, and then looked at Huo Jinwei's extremely determined eyes, knowing her determination to buy this firecracker.

The man hesitated for a moment and gave a price of 2.05 million euros.

And Huo Jinwei also asked for 2.08 million euros for testing.

The high price made the whole venue excited, and everyone wondered what the girl who was only standing at the door was coming from, and how she could be so free.

The auctioneer saw that the man had no intention of increasing the price, and after counting down according to the process, he dropped the hammer.

In the end, this firearm was pocketed by Huo Jinwei, and the staff also came to Huo Jinwei's side, ready to register according to the process of Wang Yumeng just now.

Unexpectedly, after Huo Jinwei took out a bank card from her handbag, she handed it to Wang Yumeng on the side.

"Yumeng, I want you to help me deal with it. Huo Jinwei smiled happily: "Ding Qiang and I are busy catching a plane, and the time is almost over." ”

Wang Yumeng didn't postpone it, and asked, "Then is this fire gun sent to your home in the capital?"

Huo Jinwei's eyes rolled, "Let's put it with you first! When I return to Hong Kong Island, I'll come back to you to get it." ”

"Good. Wang Yumeng nodded again and again, "I will take good care of it." ”

"Then we'll go first. Huo Jinwei tugged on Lin Dingqiang's sleeve, "See you on Hong Kong Island." ”

The two left the auction house at breakneck speed, and after going out, they got into a taxi and went straight to the airport.

Lin Dingqiang asked, "Why did you let Wang Yumeng take it to Hong Kong Island?"

Huo Jinwei smiled: "Let you come to my house to pick it up! This is more than 16 million things, so easy to give to you?"

Lin Dingqiang then understood how Huo Jinwei's wishful thinking worked, and he laughed, "I didn't ask you to send it." ”

"Then you mean I'm cheeky?" Huo Jinwei asked rhetorically.

"It's quite thin-skinned, isn't it?" Lin Dingqiang quipped: "You can see bloodshots, didn't you wipe enough foundation today?"

"you!" Huo Jinwei raised her hand, the smile on her face was brighter than ever, "I have a good foundation, white and red, and blowing can be broken!

Lin Dingqiang didn't dare to stretch out his hand, he rolled his throat, diverted the topic and said, "Let's go to see the aurora like this, don't you need to make any preparations?"

"I'm all set!" Huo Jinwei said confidently: "Cold-proof clothes and sleeping bags are all available." I asked the cabin crew to go shopping yesterday. ”

"That's right. ”

"And ah, the car is also parked in Stockholm," Huo Jinwei looked up and down: "As soon as we land, we will go straight to the destination." When the time comes, you have to see the road clearly!"

Lin Ding nodded strongly, "No problem." ”

"However, there is still one problem that remains unresolved. Huo Jinwei laughed mysteriously.

Lin Dingqiang was puzzled: "What?"

Huo Jinwei covered her mouth and said in Lin Dingqiang's ear: "I don't know the size of your underwear, so I didn't buy it." When you get to the airport, you have to move faster! ”

Lin Dingqiang smiled awkwardly, "Okay, I'll definitely speed up." ”

At this time, Lin Dingqiang's mobile phone rang, and it was Zhou Yinhui calling.

"Lin Dong, didn't you come today?" Zhou Yinhui's voice was very happy when he heard it.

Lin Dingqiang responded: "It's coming!"

"Then you're not going to help me support the scene!"

Lin Dingqiang said slowly: "When I came, I saw your demeanor, brother, and that momentum looked like it was determined to win." ”

"You're right. Zhou Yinhui said with a smile: "63 million, there are bits and pieces, and it can be regarded as a matter of heart." ”

"I've had a good time. Lin Dingqiang turned his head to look at Huo Jinwei beside him, "I also got the firecracker." ”

"It was a great event. Zhou Yinhui blessed: "By the way, did you and Miss Huo go to the airport?"

"That's right. It's going to be a little bit. ”

"Well, I won't bother you. Zhou Yinhui smiled: "When you return to the capital, we will talk again." ”

"Good. ”

After hanging up the phone, Huo Jinwei asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, small talk. Lin Dingqiang put down his mobile phone and quipped: "Director Huo, is it the last stop ahead?"

Huo Jinwei smiled heartily: "This passenger, the front is just the last stop of this trip, you have to make it clear!"
