Chapter 38 Stockings Milk Tea

The next day, I went straight to Hong Kong, passed through the gate, transferred to the intercity express, landed in Hung Hom, and arrived at the territory of capitalism, which is Tao Yaling's emotion. Sun Qin looks down on it, so you can't call imperialism when you go to the United States?

Mima had not spoken much since she had woken up in the morning, and it was evident that the little girl was trying to think, and she had taken care to pull herself a little farther away, and to observe the three of them in a posture that seemed to be a bystander.

Guardian Company has already arrived in the early stage, and more people will arrive with the auctioned treasures today, accompanied by people from the Buddhist and Taoist associations and relevant government departments, and in general, all aspects are more concerned about this matter. What's more, there are five living Buddhas from the mysterious area at a time, and Hong Kong people are very sought after for this identity, and many gossip literature and magazines are posthumously reported. So Guardian's side is concentrated in a package of several floors of the hotel, in Causeway Bay.

In the past, I put my luggage away, and I found a roadside exchange shop for some Hong Kong dollars, and a few people started shopping.

Tao Yaling has always worn unilateral earrings, she likes this kind of small ornament very much, all the way to look, I really like too much, just hang three on one side, hang one on the other side, shake her head, her ears are shaking, and Wu Wending is dazzled. There are also anklets, which are also sold in several. In the end, it was glasses, and now she doesn't seem to have a visual impairment if she doesn't wear them, and she doesn't go into the why, but she just habitually wears them, so she has to change them to a flat one, and now she carefully picks a few pairs to replace them. Wu Wending also helped the three of them pick out a pair of large-framed sunglasses by the way.

Sun Qin's attention is still on the clothes, picking for herself, picking for Wu Wending, and occasionally saying to Tao Yaling: "That may be more suitable for your style...... and a very expert tone to Wu Wending: "Look at these unknown designs, they are guaranteed to sell a good number when they are taken to the mainland." In the future, I will still have to find a buyer to take a look here. ”

Wu Wending asked Mima: "You can choose some buyers who are more familiar with Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong, it doesn't matter if the price is high, the vision is a little lower, and it is good to bring the money back to others for reference." ”

Mima didn't shy away from taking out a small notebook to record, Tao Yaling rolled her eyes and pulled her out and pointed to the sign that could be seen everywhere, "Don't go with peers", aren't you looking for a draw.

When passing by an electrical appliance store, Mima couldn't help it: "I want to buy a few phones......" After tasting the ubiquitous convenience of mobile phones, I really couldn't stand the carelessness of these people.

Wu Wending thought about it and felt that it seemed to be also, it was more convenient to contact, anyway, there was no one else looking for him, just these few people, and it was really cheaper to buy in Hong Kong, so he took the lead in choosing the model, it looked like the kind of big bricks brought by Tashi and Mima, only a Motorola that had just been listed was much smaller, and I bought three by swiping the card, looking at Mima's huge bricks in the bag, Mima saw that he bought it for the two little girls, and also showed hopeful eyes, so he simply took another one, and bought the card again when he returned to Chongqing. After Mima got it, she was far happier than the other two girls, and it seemed that she had received the same treatment.

At noon, I was looking for a dessert shop to eat egg tarts, so I strolled around until the afternoon to have a snack and prepare to eat seafood food stalls later.

As a result, when I was about to put down the afternoon purchase harvest and go out again, someone from Guardian Group came over and invited a few people to attend a cocktail party held by a local celebrity.

Several people expressed a lack of interest, or the food stalls were more tempting, so they excused themselves and went out by themselves.

I still live in an executive suite at night, but the area is much smaller.

At noon the next day, there was a press conference on the arrangement, which was held at the Subi Fu auction house that Guardian Group borrowed this time. Wu Wending went over to meet the old monks first, so as not to make trouble if there were any surprising actions when there were many people. Mima naturally had to accompany her, and Sun Qin and Tao Yaling naturally had someone to receive them and go to the scene first.

In a small living room, five living Buddhas of different ages and more than a dozen middle-aged lamas gathered together, and none of them knew each other, and it seemed that they had come to visit Wu Wending. Seeing Wu Wending coming in, there was another greeting sound, and Wu Wending greeted him for a while and then went to the press conference site.

There are a lot of long guns and short guns, both Chinese and foreign reporters, and there are many domestic reporters who feel that they are national brands, and it seems that the relevant departments attach great importance to it. According to Wu Wending's prior request, the internal staff guided him and Mima to a seating area in the front corner, where Sun Qin and Tao Yaling were also sitting, curiously observing the movements in the hall.

Because the auction was held directly on the spot after the press conference, many prominent figures also arrived in advance, which was regarded as a face for the presenting ceremony with a strong official color. Hundreds of reporters gathered against the wall in the outer ring of the hall, except for a few camera teams that seemed to be of relatively high status. The hall that can accommodate about 300 people is very strictly controlled, and each seat is basically marked with the corresponding name, after all, it is also a large-scale thematic auction in the eyes of the historic Subi Fu auction house.

Others are also looking at these two little girls curiously, dressed very ordinarily, but there is a beauty of looking forward to life, one is beautiful and youthful, the other is dignified and elegant, the reporters are very good at using some film on these tidbits, and those who can come in and sit there are not ordinary people.

Wu Wending sat between them, Mima sat behind him by himself, and Sun Qin was proud: "I just saw that who, who, acting in kung fu movies, that ......"

Tao Yaling paid attention to the difference: "I saw the host of CCAV just now, and the specifications of this event are not low." ”

Wu Wending smiled: "We all come to the countryside to see the world, we don't speak, we only watch the play." ”

Sun Qin wrinkled her nose dissatisfied.

The seats of several of them are listed separately, there are about a dozen seats, and after a while, I saw five living Buddhas and several lamas silently coming over, sitting down straight, fortunately in front of them, and also caused a flash of white flowers to move, just now there is a living Buddha said that yesterday into the airport hall is also like this, it is very uncomfortable to make the eyes, simply close the eyes and chant the scriptures.

After waiting for a while, several people seated on the stage arrived, and the press conference began, and the person in the middle presided over was actually a deputy leader of the Religious Affairs Bureau and a director of the Ethnic Affairs Commission, with a monk on the left and a Tibetan on the right, which was very much in line with the country's general policy and concept. Each of them had a box on the table in front of them.

After reading out the situation of the exchange of gifts in a few sentences, the lama first saluted in the direction of the living Buddha before holding the transparent glass box containing the relics beads in front of him and shook hands with the old monk from the Buddhist Association, who was holding an ancient book of "Diamond Sutra" also in a transparent box, and then Tenzin held a box containing an ancient sword and exchanged a Ming Dynasty porcelain vase with the Taoist. Mima couldn't help but muttered in the back: "The Taoist priests are really slamming the door, it is better to leave the ancient sword to Wu Wending for his own use." "It's really magnanimous......

After a burst of photo and photography commemoration, the two leaders were very happy, and sincerely welcomed the exchanges and mutual assistance of various nationalities and religions, and accepted many media interviews respectively. It seems that Wu Wending's expectation that he was worried about not paying enough attention was a little pessimistic. Now leaving aside the auction itself, the press conference with political connotations is really unintentionally too grand at this sensitive time in '97.

After the interview, the leaders sat in the independent seats on the other side, and handed over all the front to the bidders, basically the seats were full, Tenzin sat next to Mima, and whispered which people are more status and status, and also talked about the welcome reception last night, the celebrities and gentlemen here heard that all the auctions will enter the operation of the foundation, and it is not a private foundation controlled by the state, they are very interested, and they are interested in participating in the cause of the foundation, and it is more certain that there are three charities owned by themselves will send people to Chengdu in the near future to negotiate。 Wu Wending is very happy, Hong Kong's charity activities have a long history, and the mechanism is also very sound, which is worth learning from, and told Mima to participate in the whole process of negotiation and negotiation.

Arrange some refreshments halfway even if it is afternoon tea, a very shrewd-looking auctioneer comes to the stage and officially begins, the whole process is in English, fortunately there is a Chinese subtitle projection behind it.

Because of the high price of the lots, there was a heavily guarded physical exhibition yesterday afternoon, and those who were qualified to bid carefully observed and examined, and the auction house absolutely guaranteed the authenticity. Here the lots are shown on a separate projector.

After many rounds of fierce bidding by eight groups of people, it was auctioned off by a Chinese for 3.75 million US dollars, which set off a warm atmosphere of the auction, Wu Wending couldn't help but nod and said to Tenzin: "You guys are really good at arranging this, others have experience and style, but the commission is a bit painful." ”

Tenzin also nodded: "It's the first time I've experienced such an auction, and it seems that this commission will have to be earned by others in the future." ”

Wu Wending was stingy: "So we have to run the group well and have a good hematopoietic function, so that we don't have to auction it every time, and the things behind it can be stored in a museum by ourselves." ”

Tenzin also smiled and nodded yes.

The next auction process was full of ups and downs, but the most interesting thing was a jade pot, two obviously Hong Kong local elderly rich people disputed, and finally one took advantage of the other to take medicine when he was excited, with an estimate of 1.8 million Hong Kong dollars, but it was sold for 3.4 million Hong Kong dollars.

Other lots fetched good prices again and again, until the last piece was sold for US$5.42 million, for a total of US$22.57 million, or about RMB190 million.

After reading the results, Wu Wending nodded to several living Buddhas, said something to Tenzin, and left with the two girls.

The three young people in ordinary clothes who walked out of the venue did not attract much attention, and many luxury cars and full-time drivers were still waiting at the door.

Everything in front of me, the tens of millions of dollars I just saw, soared back and forth, and it was the same as ordinary life. Tao Yaling exhaled a long breath: "This is what you have been doing with Mima and them?"

Wu Wending shook his head: "This is not the point, the point is how to use this money to help others." ”

Sun Qin has always thought that her family background is very good, but now she feels that she is still a little bit sitting in the well and watching the sky: "It's so scary, tens of millions of dollars to buy a ceramic jar?"

Wu Wending continued to shake his head: "Those things are not important, they are all dead things, those who like them like it, and what they don't like is a ceramic jar." ”

Wu Wending relieved the rather dull atmosphere: "Let's go find a tea restaurant to settle dinner, okay? It's almost past eight o'clock." ”

Sun Qin suddenly felt a little hungry, so she focused on dinner and decided to take a taxi to Temple Street to eat.

Sitting in the car, Tao Yaling eased slightly, looked at Wu Wending, and still didn't say anything.

Wu Wending, who was sitting in the middle of the back row, stretched out his hand to hold her: "I'm still that unreliable person, don't you want me to be more motivated? ”

Sun Qin directly grabbed it and said: "How can there be so much motivation, I'm so hungry, I want a cup of stockings milk tea, hehe, I saw Taozi wearing stockings that day"

Okay, then three cups of stockings milk tea.
