Chapter 178, Auction
"Girl, this is an invitation from Jimo Linghu, saying that a jade shop under the name of the Jimo family will hold an auction with the Sun Emperor cruise ship Sun this weekend, and invite you to participate..."Lu Qi handed over an envelope. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The main color of the envelope is gold, with cloud-like dark lines, inlaid with coffee-colored edge stripes around it, and in the upper right corner of the front of the envelope is the family emblem of the Jimo family printed with a special process. A narrow brown ribbon was tied in half of the envelope into a beautiful multi-layered knot.
Putting aside the family emblem of the Jimo family, just looking at this envelope, you know that the person who can afford this invitation will definitely have a lot of money.
Lu Qi did not open the envelope without authorization, but handed it over to Luo Yumin to deal with, not that she was careless and did not have a sense of prevention, but that today's society is also a legal society, plus her girl has not grown to the point of common anger, no one will be idle to panic to add some small blocks or some other tricks.
"Auctions? Then I really have to see it, I've always seen it on TV before, it seems to be quite interesting..."Luo Yumin shrugged his shoulders and took the envelope.
Entering the envelope, Luo Yumin gasped, the seemingly thin one was actually quite pressing, and when she pulled out the inside, the little girl's eyes were shining, because the invitation was gilded, and the title page inside was embedded with gold leaf.
The Sun Emperor Cruise is a cruise ship company belonging to the royal family of country E, with a weight of 87,000 tons, a length of 361 meters, a width of 66 meters, a water height of 72 meters, a displacement of 225,000 tons, a total of 16 decks and 2,704 cabins, and can accommodate more than 6,300 tourists and more than 2,000 crew members. It is said that the entire ship cost 400 million pounds (about 800 million US dollars), which is by far the top 10 luxury cruise ships in the world.
The ship not only has a green area built in imitation of Central Park in New York, a family outdoor entertainment area, 4 swimming areas with different styles, but also a merry-go-round in the cruise ship's amusement park, 2 climbing walls, 1 basketball court, dozens of bars and restaurants to meet the needs of tourists with different preferences.
Such a huge cruise ship, just the most basic drive requires a huge amount of money, chartering such a cruise ship just to hold an auction, which shows how strong the Jimo family is.
If you can get an invitation to the Jimo family auction at this time, it is not an ordinary person.
Also, the jade auctioned by the Jimo family is extraordinary, and there are only a few pieces a year, and when it comes together, there are many rich people on the earth, and no one will spare their lives to catch a jade of the Jimo family, which is equivalent to an extra life.
So at the auction of the Jimo family, those rich people racked their brains and wanted to get an invitation.
In the past, the auctions of the Jimo family were relatively low-key, limited to a small circle, and there were only about 100 invitations issued, but this year, the Jimo family was uncharacteristically high-profile and chartered the world's most luxurious cruise ship as the venue for the auction, not to mention, there were nearly 1,000 invitations issued.
The full load of the Emperor cruise ship is nearly 8,400 people, and the crew accounts for nearly one-third, so don't underestimate this invitation, there are also some unknown ways in it.
Like the bronzing invitation inlaid with gold leaf held by Luo Yumin, the cardholder can carry 2~3 companions, in addition to this kind of invitation, there are two other kinds.
One is that only two people can travel with the cardholder, including the cardholder himself; The other is, of course, only the cardholder himself uses, which is very strict. At that time, when entering the auction hall, the relevant staff will implement the relevant regulations according to the level of the cardholder's invitation, so as to prevent the troubled water without the invitation card from causing trouble and disrupting the normal progress of the auction.
After making up for the matters related to the cruise ship, Luo Yumin held the information collected by the big head in his hand and sighed, what does it mean to be rich, shark fin gargle, abalone and rice are still pediatrics, but at this time last year, the little girl was still running on the rugged mountain road for a bucket of water.
A thick pile of information made Luo Yumin feel that her knowledge was poor and her etiquette was short-sighted, although Lu Qi had tutored her on comprehensive etiquette, but her environment and today's society are only thousands of miles different in terms of customs and habits, not to mention the world's top luxury cruise ship party, which shows not only personal quality, but also represents her family strength.
Fighting for family history, Luo Yumin definitely can't fight for any VIP who can receive an invitation, she is just an unknown peasant girl from the mainland of China, who has been a farmer for generations, and her mother is still a mistress who can't get on the stage.
But if you fight for personal strength, Luo Yumin's cultivation, quality, money, and even force value are definitely ranked in the inland of China, not to mention that she still has an interstellar plane trading system that cannot be declared to all mouths.
This is the only one, and there is absolutely no second semicolon on earth.
On the weekend, that is, the day after tomorrow, Luo Yumin originally planned to return to the mainland the day after tomorrow, because the auction could only postpone the return, but fortunately, now the college entrance examination scores can be checked by phone, and she no longer worries about checking the scores.
hung a long distance to the family, knowing that there was nothing at home, Luo Yumin was relieved to prepare wholeheartedly to participate in the auction the day after tomorrow, she didn't know that her grandparents went to the house to make trouble, otherwise according to the girl's temperament, she would definitely end the so-called HK trip ahead of schedule and go back to give the best old couple and aunt Luo Shuilian a profound lesson.
The kindness of the elder is worthy of her own respect, on the contrary, she will not be merciful to be oppressed by others, and now it is not the old era when the word "filial piety" can overwhelm everything.
Foolishness and filial piety will never appear in Luo Yumin's life.
Lu Qila said indignantly with a broken face, "Girl, can you stand honestly for a while, just take a look, so how can I measure you." ”
She has always wanted her girl to have a chance to see the world, although she has taught her a lot of social etiquette knowledge, but it is all on paper and not implemented. Lu Qi knows that many of her ideas are quite backward in today's society, and in her free time, she also likes to watch current affairs and politics, fashion salons, musicals, romance dramas, and absorb everything she can absorb to enrich her own knowledge.
The auction of the Jimo family, as she thought, could take this opportunity to let her own girl get in touch with the upper class, so as to overturn the peasant girl's small family consciousness and completely change it, instead of just giving people a false atmosphere on the outside, cold, and revealing as soon as she spoke.
So Lu Qi brought out all the treasures she had saved over the past tens of thousands of years, and there were hundreds of finest fabrics for dresses alone, and she was ready to cut a full set of outfits for her own girls to attend the auction.
But Luo Yumin was frightened by Lu Qi's idea, and let her walk in front of people in the kind of topless dress on TV, and be looked at with all kinds of eyes, it is not as simple as hanging herself directly with a rope.
"Aunt Green, I advise you not to toss, even if you make me a skirt, I won't wear it, if you really do it for my good, just make me a few simple clothes that fit, and I will definitely not even walk when I wear a skirt." Luo Yumin broke free of Lu Qi's grip and fled with a smile, grimacing from a distance, Lu Qi was so angry that she stomped her feet but was helpless.
It was another weekend, and the Hong Kong Terminal, one of the three largest deep-water ports in the world, was not deserted by the weekend, on the contrary, the number of patrol cars from the Hong Kong police and the patrols passing by from time to time made people feel like a big enemy. Even the parking lot at the pier, which usually jokes about security, is heavily armed and heavily guarded.
From two o'clock in the afternoon, there are luxury cars in the parking lot, Lamborghini, Bugatti Veyron, Rolls-Royce Silver Charm, Ferrari, Porsche, Aston Martin, Maybach, here, no one is willing to use the Mercedes-Benz that can be called a luxury car in the mainland, you must know that the cost of a top Rolls-Royce Silver Charm is as high as 1.5 billion, and the price of the top Lamborghini is also about 380 million yuan, and those in the mainland who drive Mercedes-Benz worth more than 100,000 yuan are stupid goods who pretend to be uncles everywhere, they should really come here to see what is the real giant.
These luxury cars are rarely driven by the owner himself, because they are equipped with a special driver, the driver in uniform opens the door diligently, and all the people who walk down inside are dressed in gorgeous costumes and beautiful urban fashion men and women, there are extraordinary high-ranking people, there are strong people in the industry, there are children of wealthy families and nobles from other countries, and there are strange people who are dressed in strange clothes or come out of the hermitage for this auction.
At this time, the car is their face, and even the hermits have a strong family behind them. The fight began in the parking lot.
When Luo Yumin and Lu Qi got off the Mercedes Benz of the Peninsula Hotel, there were dozens of eyes looking at them, and some of them thought that these two people were in the wrong place, so they couldn't help but snort lightly to show contempt.
Luo Yumin didn't wear the skirt made by Lu Qi in the end, but fortunately, Lu Qi made a variety of precautions, and made an improved version of the Tang costume for her with the fabric woven from Tianqi silk, and the skirt also became trousers, and the jade feet stepped on a soft-soled casual shoes with a yellow face and white soles.
The silk of the shark is not only breathable, but also the ordinary knife is not easy to cut, it is very comfortable to make summer clothes, generally two pieces of cloth, Lu Qi is useless, all given to Luo Yumin.
One red and one dark gray, the red is so red that it has been made into the latest sundress and vest, and the gray one made this Tang costume for Luo Yumin, which looks inconspicuous at all, and the feeling can only be experienced by the wearer himself.
The universal see-through glasses are a bit big, almost covering half of Luo Yumin's face, and they also just cover her unusually beautiful eyes, plus her intentional or unintentional low-key, it is easy for people to ignore her beauty.
But in this way, there are still people who refuse to let her go, and trouble for no reason will come to the door. (To be continued.) )
