Chapter 330: Antique Auction (1)
Jinling Hotel!
The antique auction is particularly lively, and many antique lovers from all over the world gather in Jinling. Of course, the security facilities are also very tight, and it is difficult to enter without an invitation card. Because Dugu Xiaotian was in a hurry to cash out some of the antiques, he didn't buy insurance at all. What's more, Dugu Xiaotian has always been proud of himself, and what guy who is not long-eyed dares to touch his Dugu family's things?
Qin Yan also rarely changed into a suit and dressed up to attend. Duan Wan'er next to her was dressed in a black evening dress, which perfectly set off her figure, and against the backdrop of high heels, her original pair of slender and beautiful legs looked longer. Talented men and women naturally attract a lot of attention.
"Why is he here?" Dugu Xiaotian frowned slightly, his eyes full of wariness.
It's just that today is a very special day, and Dugu Xiaotian didn't want to turn his face with Qin Yan, so he had to pretend that he didn't see anything.
Not far away, Li Changsheng sat side by side with Luo Li and Huang Zhan, and when he saw Qin Yan, he just smiled and nodded as a greeting. Not much is known about their relationship with outsiders, at least, at the moment, they don't plan to let more people know. Especially Dugu Xiaotian, who knows if this so-called antique auction is a conspiracy of Dugu Xiaotian?
At another angle of the venue, a man in a white suit frowned slightly, glanced at the girl next to him, and asked coldly, "Leng Yan, is he Qin Yan?"
"Yes. The girl next to him was Duan Wan'er, the daughter of Duan Bei, the director of the National Security Bureau, and I heard that the relationship between them was very ambiguous, which seemed to be true. It seems that the purpose of his visit this time is to rush at Dugu Xiaotian. The girl nodded and replied.
"Do you like to be in the limelight, afraid that others won't know him?" the man said with a sneer. Duan Bei knew his identity, but he didn't prevent his daughter from dating him, it seems that the relationship between Tianqi and the National Security Bureau is indeed very unusual. The things I asked you to investigate must be grasped quickly, and only by knowing yourself and your opponent can you win all battles. I have a hunch that sooner or later we will have a fight with this boy, and the more we know about him, the better it will be for us. ”
"Rest assured, Chief, our men are already stepping up their investigation, hoping that there will be clues. Leng Yan replied. "He also seems to have a very ambiguous relationship with Shen Jingtian's daughter Shen Shenyu, if he knew that Shen Jingtian was killed by us, he would definitely not give up. For him, we still have to be cautious. ”
"Didn't you say that the man who did the work was reliable? The man said. After a pause, the man then asked, "What do you think is the purpose of Dugu Xiaotian to hold this antique auction at this time?"
"It should be that we want to sell these things as soon as possible, which can also prove that our news is not wrong, and the Dugu family really plans to leave Jinling. These antiques would be difficult to take away if they were through normal channels, and he could only take them away by exchanging them for money. Leng Yan was stunned and said.
A mysterious smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth and said, "I don't think it's that simple. Dugu Xiaotian has been operating in Jinling for so long, not to mention bringing some antiques abroad, even if it is a national treasure, he can smuggle it out, right? In my opinion, things will definitely not be so simple, and it is estimated that there will be a good show waiting for us. ”
Leng Yan was stunned for a moment and said, "Chief, are we going to ......?"
"No, just wait and see. The man smiled indifferently, as if he was sitting on a mountain watching the tiger fight.
Leng Yan nodded and said no more.
Qin Yan and Duan Wan'er sat down in their positions, their eyes glanced at Li Changsheng who was not far away, the latter nodded knowingly, and turned around to explain a few words to Luo Li and Huang Zhan. After a while, Luo Li and Huang got up and left.
"Miss Linda, aren't you going to say hello?" Dugu Xiaotian glanced at Linda with a smile on his face and said, "How can you be considered old acquaintances, if you don't even say hello, isn't it good?"
Linda glanced at Qin Yan from a distance, snorted indignantly, and said, "The beauty is in his arms, where can he remember me now." After so many years, many things have changed, and instead of making everyone unhappy, it is better to never see them again, and still keep some good memories in your mind. ”
"That's right, sometimes it's better to meet than not to meet, otherwise it will only make everyone more embarrassed. Dugu Xiaotian smiled slightly and said, "If Miss Linda likes something to tell me in a while, I will give it to you as a meeting gift." ”
"Okay, my grandfather has always liked antiques, if there is a suitable one, you can consider sending one back to grandpa. Linda said lightly.
After a pause, Linda continued: "Actually, why did the head of the Dugu family take these things out for auction? These are your collections for many years, isn't there any reluctance?"
Dugu Xiaotian sighed helplessly and said, "I don't want to sell them if I can, these are all antiques that I have treasured for many years, and some of them even cost me a lot of thought and money." However, this is not an impossible solution, and if you don't sell it, it will be difficult to take it out. Moreover, it is also inconvenient to carry these antiques, and the best thing to do is to exchange them for money. I had to endure the pain of parting with my love. ”
"If the head of the Dugu family is willing, I have a way to help the Dugu family quietly ship these things to the United States. Linda said. In fact, this is also where Linda is a little puzzled, although many of Dugu Xiaotian's antiques have unknown origins, but they are not national treasures that cannot be exported, and if so, there will not be so many foreign buyers. Even so, Dugu Xiaotian still chose to take these antiques out for auction, is it really just to exchange them for money, in order to make it more convenient when leaving? The reason for this does not seem to be so simple.
"I've also kept some of the ones I hold dear, and the rest should be a chance for other antique lovers. Dugu Xiaotian said.
Shrugged her shoulders lightly, Linda didn't continue to ask. No matter what purpose Dugu Xiaotian had, at least one thing was true, that is, he did leave behind some more cherished antiques. And these things that were put up for auction must be some level worse in his eyes.
With a burst of music, the host walked onto the stage, and the auction officially began. All eyes were on the stage, and there was a scorching light in their eyes. For antique lovers, a good antique has no complaints even if it breaks the bank.
After an impassioned presentation by the host, the first antique was brought to the stage.
