Chapter Two Thousand and Forty-Four: A Cheesy Souvenir
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, this lavish wedding banquet is coming to an end.
At this time, the guests attending the wedding banquet were all full of wine and food, but everyone did not get up and left, still sitting in their seats, laughing and chatting with their friends with great interest.
Before the wedding banquet began, Ye Tian told everyone that there would be a small public auction after the wedding banquet, and he hoped and welcomed every guest who went to the banquet today to participate.
For most of the guests in this lavish ballroom, they have never been to an antique art auction before, and it is far from their lives.
Now that there is such an opportunity, everyone naturally wants to see it and experience it for themselves.
More importantly, Ye Tian briefly introduced the rules of this charity auction before to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm to participate.
As everyone knows, the starting price of the antique works of art from the East and the West, which will appear at auction later, is only one yuan, and the highest price is far below its market value.
Who wouldn't want to participate in such a charity auction? Maybe if you're lucky, you can auction a valuable antique art, and then you can make a lot of money!
Seeing that everyone had put down their chopsticks and was waiting for the start of the follow-up show with great interest, Ye Tian immediately told the staff of the Beijing Hotel to let them come in and clean up the scene.
Soon, the hotel staff of the brigade pushed the food trucks into the banquet hall and began to clean up the leftovers on each table.
It didn't take long for the tables in the ballroom to be cleared.
Immediately afterwards, a group of hotel staff pushed the food cart into the banquet hall and placed flowers, fruit plates, desserts, tea and drinks for everyone to enjoy.
After the set-up, the hotel staff withdrew from the banquet hall.
When the door of the banquet hall was closed, Ye Tian immediately picked up the walkie-talkie to inform his staff and bring up the things he had prepared.
Before he finished speaking, the door of a lounge on the left side of the banquet hall was opened, and seven or eight company employees each pushed a trolley out of the lounge and walked straight to the stage in front of the banquet hall.
On those trolleys with three floors, there are red gift bags, small but very delicate, revealing a festive taste.
Seeing this scene, many guests in the banquet hall didn't know that those red gift bags must be souvenirs from Ye Tian and Betty.
As for what the souvenir is, it is unknown, and only when you get it in your hands can you know the answer.
Sure enough!
The next moment, Ye Tianqing's voice came out of the stage and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.
"When you look at these gift bags on the food cart, you must have guessed that yes, this is a gift that Betty and I have prepared for everyone to come to our wedding reception.
All the guests who come to this wedding banquet today, whether adults or children, can receive a souvenir, I hope you can enjoy this gift, I am sure you will like it.
Because there is a charity auction coming up, in order to save time, Betty and I will not give these souvenirs to you one by one, these employees will deliver the gifts to everyone."
Before the words fell, several familiar voices sounded in the audience.
"Xiaotian, what is the souvenir that you two gave to everyone? Tell everyone, we really want to know!"
"That's right, Xiaotian, let's talk about it to everyone, and let everyone be happy"
The speakers are Huazi and a few of them, and these guys are used to coaxing the seedlings.
Not only them, but everyone else at the scene also looked at those red silk gift bags curiously, and they were all secretly guessing what gifts were in those bags.
Ye Tian looked at Huazi and them, glanced at the audience again, and then said aloud with a smile:
"Let's be patient, and when those red gift bags are delivered to you, you will naturally know what the souvenirs from Betty and I are, it is a very nice surprise."
After saying that, he immediately nodded to the company employees and asked them to distribute the souvenirs separately.
Next, the company employees pushed the trolleys and dispersed into the banquet room and began to distribute the red silk gift bags to the guests.
In just a moment, there were suddenly bursts of surprise in the banquet.
"There's a small packet of candy and a small bag of chocolate in the pack, huh! I'm not mistaken? There's a gold coin and a silver coin in there!"
"It's the same in my gift bag, there is also a gold coin and a silver coin, is it really fake?
Which country's currency is this? It looks like a Spanish coin with the inscription 1805 on it, could it be that this is really an antique coin from Spain?"
As the souvenirs were distributed, the exclamations continued to sound one after another, and the entire banquet hall was as lively as a boiling pot.
The souvenir given by Ye Tian and Betty shocked everyone on the scene, including those top collectors and antique art appraisal experts, as well as other insiders in the field of antique art collection!
Who has ever heard of such a generous gift of antique gold and silver coins as souvenirs to the wedding guests?
In the midst of an exclamation, someone had already taken out the gold and silver coins in the gift bag, held them high, and asked aloud with great heart:
"Xiaotian, let's talk about the situation of these gold and silver coins, which country's currency are they, are they antique coins, and do they have any collectible value?"
"That's right, Xiaotian, let me introduce you to these gold and silver coins, these gold and silver coins are rough made, and the shape is not a regular circle, we don't know the words on them at all, but they are real gold and silver!"
Ye Tian, who was standing on the stage, looked at the gold and silver coins that were being raised, and then said with a smile:
"That's right, all of these gold and silver coins you got are antique coins, which I found in previous treasure hunts, and I brought some of them back to China this time as a souvenir for everyone.
Uncle Chen, the gold coin you are holding in your hand is a Spanish gold coin, its exact name is the Escudo gold coin, which is a gold coin minted by the Mexican mint in the early 18th century.
On that gold coin, the date of minting is engraved, and the two letters 'MO' on the reverse of it are the logo of the Mexican Mint, the silver coin in your hand, and its name is rial.
It's also from the Mexican Mint, and it's dated to the same Escudo gold coin, and it's engraved with the Mexican Mint logo, making it a collector's worth collecting!"
Hearing Ye Tian's explanation, Uncle Chen, who was sitting in the audience, immediately began to bow his head and study the pair of gold and silver coins, his face full of ecstasy.
Ye Tian, who was standing on the stage, smiled softly, and then continued:
"As for the pair of antique gold and silver coins in Uncle Chen's hand, according to the current antique coin market, the value should be about 60,000 yuan, and the fluctuation should not exceed 10%.
Each of you received a souvenir bag included a gold coin and a silver coin, which were of different sizes, some from England, some from France, some from Spain, etc.
Without exception, these gold and silver coins are all antique coins with a certain collection value, and their value is basically the same as the two antique coins in Uncle Chen's hand, which are around 60,000 yuan!
Once you have received this gift, you can either collect it yourself or sell it, and if you are planning to sell these antique coins and the buyer bids less than 60,000 yuan, you can do it!
The reason why I prepared such a slightly cheesy gift for everyone is mainly because now that the Chinese New Year is over, this should be a red envelope for you.
Besides, if you give something else as a souvenir, there must be a problem that will be difficult to reconcile, and there is no such problem when you give these antique coins, and I am not short of such things."
Before the words fell, the scene was boiling again, and everyone was pleasantly surprised.
"I'll go! Ye Tian's handwriting is really terrifying, antique coins worth 60,000 yuan, more than 300 pairs of them were given out at once, that's 10 million or 20 million yuan!
"Dude isn't dreaming, is he? Not only did I enjoy an incomparably sumptuous meal today, but I was also able to bring home two antique coins worth 60,000 yuan, to be honest, buddy was a little embarrassed!"
In the midst of the exclamations, the guests who had come to the wedding banquet with their children were already looking at the gift bags in the hands of their sons or daughters, ready to rob their own children.
Immediately after, these guys showed the face of Grandma Wolf.
"Good son, can my mother exchange this bag of candy and this bag of chocolates for the coins in your red gift bag? Those two things are hard and inedible, and you can't eat them, it's useless for you to hold them, and it's not safe!"
What can those children do about this kind of seduction, or trickery?
They had no choice but to pout, aggrieved, take out the pair of antique coins from the gift bag, and reluctantly hand them to their parents.
And all they get is a bag or two of candy and chocolate, and a compliment or two of 'the child is really sensible'.
Of course, there were also many guests who were not married, had no children, or did not bring children to the wedding banquet.
At this time, they were extremely envious of those who brought their children to the wedding banquet, and at the same time regretted it.
I knew that I could receive such a valuable gift today, so I had to bring my family and children to the banquet, if I didn't have a family, even if I spent money to hire one on the street, it was worth it!
In the blink of an eye, everyone in the banquet hall received a souvenir, and no one was left behind.
Next, everyone began to look down and study the antique coins they received, and communicate and compare with their friends, and the scene was very lively.
And Ye Tian, who was standing on the stage, had been completely forgotten by everyone!
