Chapter 85: Auctions

Lee Hyun-gyu, Ah Jiu has always been very optimistic, in addition to him being Sunny's younger brother, Ah Jiu is also in him, and he has seen a lot of shadows on Park Chan-young. What's slightly better than Park Chanrong is that he is still young and doesn't have those lustful problems.

Youth, young admiration, this is a very normal thing, but to the extent of Park Canrong, it is a little too much, Park Canrong is good everywhere, that is, he treats feelings, and never wants to be serious, this is a good thing, but also a bad thing, the good thing is that the heart is not hindered, and it will not affect the judgment, but the bad thing is that it is too ruthless, Ah Jiu is diametrically opposed to Park Canrong in this regard.

He is too affectionate, so naturally it is not good. In short, he still thinks that Lee Hyun-gyu is a manufacturable material.

In comparison, Kwon Hyuk-joon is a little worse. This has something to do with his temper, after the incident of the biker party came out, Ah Jiu transferred Kwon Hyuk-jun to work and arranged it under Feng Nan, wanting him to learn from Feng Nan, and then take charge of the resort on his own. But his temper, being a service industry, is indeed a bit unsuitable, Ah Jiu plans to observe for a while, if it really doesn't work, he will throw it to Aru, let him be a leader, and collect protection money.

After giving Lee Hyun-gyu an account, the auction began. This is the second auction of the establishment of the black gold auction house, the first auction was a small test, the total transaction price also exceeded 50 billion won, the most expensive of the lots, is a pair of bronze shackles, said to be the artifact of the bronze civilization of the Euphrates River Valley, bought by an American. And this thing is Lao Jiu's private collection, which he acquired at a very small price when the Middle East was in turmoil, and the cost was almost zero. I didn't expect that just such a thing would buy more than 7 billion won.

As we all know, auction houses are a very legalized place for money laundering and bribery. Because this thing is very simple and extremely convenient to operate. A piece of collectibles, perhaps for 50 or 70 years, is auctioned, and as long as someone is willing to buy it, it is a reasonable transaction. For example, those things of Lao Jiu, if he puts them in his hands, they are a bunch of bottles and cans, which are worthless and useless, but if they are auctioned, if they meet these people who are stupid and have a lot of money, they will be reasonably realized.

And those who have a request for black gold can also trade legal money to black gold in this way. Black gold also eliminates the step of money laundering, which is a win-win situation.

Ah Jiu once found someone to calculate that if Lao Jiu's collections were sold, they could be sold for more than a billion dollars at a reasonable price. Of course, this is not in a hurry, take it slowly, if you take out too many collections at a time, the price will definitely lead to a plunge in the market, and you can't sell it at a high price.

The brochure for today's auction has been distributed to the members in advance, and Xiuying also has a copy in her hand. By the time she came by private jet, she had already rummaged through. Ah Jiu really didn't look at it, because he didn't have any interest in these things, but Xiuying did have a picture, it was a string of crystal bracelets, the crystal itself was not valuable, but it was said to be a treasure of the Moroccan royal family, and it was said that there was a touching love story, and the design was indeed very good-looking, Xiuying wanted it, but she hesitated, because it was similar, such as a similar model of Tiffany jewelry, as long as the starting price was less than half of it, she always felt a little loss when she bought it.

Xiuying asked Ah Jiu what he thought, and Ah Jiu's idea was just one word, buy! The starting price is only one billion won, and the final transaction price is at most three billion won, which is nothing to Ah Jiu.

But Xiuying thinks about it more, she is the most spendable among the sisters. If she came to the auction with Ah Jiu and asked him to spend money, Sunny probably wouldn't let her appear with Ah Jiu on this occasion. In the past, she was not afraid of Sunny, because the identities of the two were the same, but now that Sunny is married to Ah Jiu, she is the mother of the main palace, and she is a concubine at most, this difference makes her temper restrict.

So after thinking about it for a long time, in the end, Xiuying gave up and didn't shout to buy it. But throughout the auction process, I was a little absent-minded, and I was obviously still thinking about it.

Ah Jiu felt funny in her heart, when Xiuying wanted something, she would act like a child, and if she didn't give it to her, she would always think about it...... Ah Jiu called Feng Nan over and whispered a few words, Feng Nan smiled and left, and after a while, brought a rectangular box. Ah Jiu put the box in his pocket and didn't say anything, and didn't let Xiuying notice.

Today's auction is not very much, and the bidding is not particularly intense, and it is all over within five rounds of bidding. So the auction ended earlier than expected, but Suyoung was already a little drowsy, and since she couldn't ask for what she wanted, she wanted to come out of sight and leave this place. It's just that she came with Ah Jiu, and she can't go first.

Finally, the auction was over, Ah Jiu pulled Xiuying's hand and said softly, "Let's go, go back and rest." ”

Ah Jiu said that he would go back, not to Seoul or Jeju Island, but to the homestay near here. Although the resort is not open to the public for the time being, there are still places to stay for members, and not all members live here, and some people are busy with work, and there are many people who go back to Seoul overnight to live in Jeju Island, and there are still a few people who live here.

Xiuying cheered up and stood up, although she didn't want to ask, but she was too curious, so she still asked, who took the bracelet she liked. The answer I got was that there was no auction, and I was a little confused. Wind Man explained with a smile that this happens from time to time. Some buyers, who are particularly fond of an item, will choose to practice the seller through the auction house before the auction. If the price can be negotiated, the transaction will be made directly, eliminating the need for auction and a large amount of auction fees. Of course, this is a gamble for both parties. Because if the auction price is high, it is not suitable for the seller. But if the auction price is low, the buyer loses again. So it's rare to see such deals, but it's not impossible.

Xiuying got an explanation and didn't ask in detail. Anyway, the thing is gone, and asking again can only add to the sadness. Fortunately, the bag of 40,000 euros is still in my hand, and the few are a little comforting.

On the way from the auction house to the B&B, Feng Nan arranged a tour bus. You don't need a person to drive, enter a character representing the coordinates, and the car will automatically drive over. Ah Jiu pulled Xiuying into the car, Xiuying leaned on his shoulder, holding his 40,000 euro bag in his arms, silent.

She regretted it now, knowing that she would like that bracelet so much, even if she would be scolded as a loser, she bought it. It's not the first time that Sunny has been told that she is a loser, just be thick-skinned, and her man is not incapable, so why not?

"Ah......h Suddenly, her eyes lit up, because she saw something in front of her, a black box, a box of this size, it could only be ...... Xiuying didn't reach out to take it, but looked at Ah Jiu and asked, "Did you buy it?"

"If you like it, just buy it. Ah Jiu said casually, as if he had bought a cone. In fact, he lied, because this thing is actually one of Lao Jiu's pile of collections, if he hadn't found someone to identify it, he wouldn't know what kind of Moroccan royal family thing it was, for him, this thing is no different from a silver necklace of 5,000 won on the side of the road.

"How much did it cost?" Suyoung asked in a whisper, "If Sunny found out, she would be angry." ”

"Are you still afraid that she will be angry?" Ah Jiu asked with a smile, Xiuying nodded vigorously: "I wasn't afraid before, but now I'm very afraid." ”

"It's okay, let's not tell her. Ah Jiu took Xiuying's hand, opened the box, took out the bracelet and put it on her, Xiuying stretched out her hand in front of him and asked, "Is it good-looking?"

"The hands look better. ”

"Just coax me. Xiuying glanced at him, but his heart was beautiful, looking at the light reflected by the crystal on his wrist, as if he couldn't see enough.

Ah Jiu looked at Xiuying's side face and felt very satisfied.

Ah Jiu knew in his heart that his relationship with Xiuying was based on a certain material foundation. But he doesn't think there is anything about it, the value of a man is withdrawn from all aspects, and if his financial resources can also be used as a value, then it is natural for him to use this value.

And Xiuying, because of this, likes him, naturally there is no problem. Ah Jiu doesn't think about it now, if he doesn't have money, Xiuying will like him, first of all, he doesn't think that he will suddenly become a poor bastard, and secondly, if he really becomes like that, he will also ask himself, how can he get the love of such a girl?

A lot of men will complain about why those good, beautiful, goddess-like, perfect girls follow someone else. But in fact, this kind of complaining is a kind of admitting defeat in itself, a really good man will not complain about why no girl takes a fancy to him, while you complain, it is also equivalent to admitting that you are inferior to the person she chose in a certain aspect.

Many people will be resentful, she is for money! But he will not ask himself, why is there no other party with money! This is the logic of a weak person, but it must be admitted that some things cannot be changed by nature, when you can't meet the needs of the woman you like no matter how hard you try, it is also a wise choice to give up decisively and admit failure.

Ah Jiu chose a homestay by the sea, outside the courtyard, by the sea, there is a wall, and under the huge drop, is the sea. The windows have been transformed into huge floor-to-ceiling windows, giving you an unobstructed view of everything on the sea.

Ah Jiu took a shower first when Xiuying removed her makeup, and sat by the window to watch the sea. Xiuying came out of the shower, dressed in a bathrobe, and came over to hug Ah Jiu's waist and lean on his arms.

"Husband, we've got the wedding too, right?" Xiuying asked expectantly as she looked up at Ah Jiu. Ah Jiu looked at her and said, "Next year, I can't get married once a month, right?"

Xiuying pursed her lips and said, "Then I'm not going to be pressed by Sunny for a year? ”

"What's not to be happy about. Ah Jiu touched her little face and said, "She hasn't bullied you anything, but you, who always bullied her before." ”

"You said it was before. Xiuying pouted and said, "Don't you know my character? You can't bully her, it's equivalent to being bullied by her!"

"Where's the reason? Ah Jiu shook his head speechlessly and said, "You, don't always think nonsense. ”

Xiuying looked at him, her eyes turned sideways, and she put her hand into Ah Jiu's bathrobe. Ah Jiu looked at her and said, "Why are you so active today?"

"Take the initiative, you say ...... again," so-young snorted and straddled him. The two of them are old husbands and wives, they have a tacit understanding and harmony, Xiuying moves her waist, Ah Jiu supports her, holds her, and lets her gallop on horseback.

Xiuying is always so enthusiastic, she is like a group of rouge horses, she can't submit to her man, she won't even look at it.

——————

After spending two days on the island with so-young, and returning to Seoul, so-young is devoted to the work of her charity foundation, while A-gu spends her days with Taeyeon and Tiffany.

Tiffany's ambition for solo is no less than that of Taeyeon. As Taeyeon's album production came to an end, Tiffany wanted to start her own project. In Girls' Generation, if you follow the order, it should be Taeyeon over, and Sunny continues, but Sunny has never been an important lead singer, so she never thought about solo, and then Tiffany is next. She really wants to do solo, but according to SM's planning department, if she does, she may not get half of Taeyeon's results.

Based on data alone, such a plan will not be approved. But now that the matter of girls' generation is in charge, if Tiffany insists on coming up with a solo, and Ah Jiu agrees, yes, Li Xiuman doesn't care.

Taeyeon helped Tiffany ask Ah Jiu what he meant, and Ah Jiu meant that he didn't have any opinions, and he would do whatever he wanted, and he fully supported him. But when it came time to start, Tiffany lost her self-confidence and really wanted to prepare a solo album, and she found that she needed too many make-up classes, so these days, when Taeyeon was busy recording, she followed along to learn, and Ah Jiu, like her boyfriend in the mall waiting for his wife to finish shopping, waited in the studio for a day.

After a few days, Taeyeon also felt that Ah Jiu was too bored to stay here, so he asked him to accompany the others. Among these people in Girls' Generation, in fact, when it comes to home, no one can stay at home as Taeyeon, but Taeyeon is a workaholic when he works. When I'm working, FFANY is like a make-up student who follows a top student, and in order to release a solo album, she wants to keep up with Taeyeon in everything, and she doesn't have time to pay attention to him.

Ah Jiu touched around for a while, and finally found that it seemed that only Xu Xian was free. Xu Xian's relatives have come these days, and he is uncomfortable, so he stays at home all day long, reading books to pass the time. Ah Jiu came unexpectedly, Xu Xian was quite surprised, because Ah Jiu knew her menstrual period, and she couldn't accompany him at this time, logically speaking, it should be on someone else's side.

However, Ah Jiu came, and Xu Xian was still very happy. This at least proves that Ah Jiu doesn't just like her body.
