Chapter 214: The hugely successful Wei Xingxing

The little boy's incident made Qin Qing relax a lot. In the past, she always felt guilty, especially when she saw a person possessed by a demon, she always thought "if I don't save him, he will die".

Now I don't think that's necessarily the case. Perhaps there is really a good reward for good and evil in this world.

Tao Bin's life in school gradually got on the right track, he made a few friends, not from the Chinese circle, but from the school, everyone from five continents and four oceans, all kinds of colors, all kinds of languages, all kinds of nationalities, all kinds of beliefs, he found that the biggest gain here is that he can meet so many different people.

He was getting busier and busier with his studies, and when he crossed the language barrier, he didn't get any easier, but got busier. He didn't come to enjoy life, and the huge pressure forced him not to stop for a moment.

On this day, a classmate named Hanks wanted to ask him to explain, and in order to get him to agree, he also asked for a cup of coffee and cake.

"For the sake of coffee, of course, what explanation?" Tao Bin said with a grin, sipping his coffee.

"I'd like to ask Sufuri to see the exhibition, she's interested in that, but I don't understand this, so man, I'd like you to take me there once and tell me about what's inside." Hanks was full of youth, he compared his hands to a gun, and pulled the plate machine at Tao Bin, "How is it?" ”

"What kind of exhibition? I'm afraid I'm ......," Tao Bin shrugged.

"Oh, you just have to read me the sign in front of each display case. They said that although there was an interpreter, the people who went there still couldn't understand it. Hanks said, "There are too many emperors in it." ”

"Chinese stuff." Tao Bin understood.

Hanks nodded: "Yay!! So we're done? ”

"It's settled." Tao Bin stretched out his hand, and the two clapped their hands, "Thursday night." ”

"Thursday night! I'll pick you up, you don't have a car, do you? If you want me to say you can buy one and sell it when you go. Hanks said.

"I'll think about it, see you on Thursday." Tao Bin waved his hand.

On Thursday, it rained. The air was filled with the smell of water, and the ground was wet and a little cold.

When Hanks pulled the car over, Tao Bin frowned, he poked his head out of the car window, and said, "This is the exhibition you are talking about?" ”

【Williams Auction House】

"Yes." Hanks stood down and said, "There's a lot of stuff in this auction house, and bronzes, supposedly imitations. He lowered his voice, "But I've heard that he has the real thing here, too." ”

Tao Bin finally walked in with Hanks, and although the owner here had a problem, he wouldn't suddenly turn into a big transformation and spit around with fangs and long tails when he saw a guest.

Once inside, he understood why Hanks said there were "a lot" of things here, because, really, a lot!

Gone are the transparent glass display cases, replaced by Chinese-style wooden shelves for Duobao Pavilion, which can be used for everything from beautiful vases to tiny hairpins and hairpins.

There are a lot of people who come here to watch, and the two waiters stand there, only coming forward when the guests need an explanation.

All of the exhibits have a sign in front of them that says the date, the users (all of whom were used by the emperor and concubines), and it clearly states that they are "replicas".

Hanks whispered to Tao Bin: "It is said that if you want the real thing, you can ask the people here, and if they have it, you can participate in the auction." ”

Tao Bin whispered: "Does the FBI care? "If there really is a ...... here If the auction item is of unknown origin.

Hanks rolled his eyes, "If you report them for tax evasion, the IRS might come a little faster." However, I guess he's got it done, you know, this auction house is decades old, you wouldn't think they've always been good law-abiding citizens, right? ”

Obviously, the world is not so rosy.

Tao Bin accompanied Hanks here for a day, and the lunch was all solved by the hamburger cart outside, and I don't know how much Hanks wrote down, if he wrote it all down, then he was too powerful.

Tao Bin was also very frightened, because there were too many things here. On the second floor were paintings and calligraphy, and when they went up and walked around, he found that there were not only Chinese things, but also Egyptian, Indian, etc., which were very miscellaneous, but very attractive, even if they were replicas. In the end, even Tao Bin couldn't help but be so attracted that he forgot the time.

They didn't leave until five o'clock, when the people here were about to leave work. But when he walked outside, Tao Bin found that the lights in the auction house were not turned off, and the lights on the second floor were still on.

"They don't get off work?" Tao Bin asked.

Hanks pulled him to the bus stop, glanced back and said, "The night has just begun." ”

At eight o'clock in the evening, all the lights at the Williams auction house were turned off, at least from the outside.

Wei Xingxing could not hide his excitement and fanaticism, he wore a custom Savile Row suit, a well-fitting horse clip and a delicate shirt, and his beautiful handmade leather shoes, which made him excited and excited.

He stood in front of the half-length mirror in front of the fireplace, looking at the elegant gentleman in the mirror, with a goblet in one hand and a sleek in the other, and on his finger a huge emerald ring, which was larger and brighter than the king's hand.

He has been looking forward to it for many years, and finally, finally today!

The golden phone on the desk rang, he walked over slowly, put down the wine glass, picked up the phone, and there was a soft female voice inside: "Sir, Mr. Green wants to talk to you, he is very interested in the bronze tripod of the Xia Dynasty last time, and he said that he wants to meet you." ”

Wei Xingxing smiled and said, "Sue him, I'll wait for him in my office." ”

An hour later, Wei Xingxing stood in front of the elevator, and with a ding, the elevator door slid open, and a Mediterranean man in a suit and leather shoes, with a big belly, and a big nose and big belly, walked in.

"William!" He opened his hands and hugged Wei Xingxing affectionately.

"Come on in, I've left you some good wine!" Wei Xingxing hugged the man and patted him on the back, and the two hugged each other and walked in together.

"Those idiots are going to torture me crazy." The Mediterranean man sat down, Wei Xingxing smiled and took out a bottle of champagne from the barrel next to him, opened it, poured two glasses, the golden wine flowed in the crystal glass, he handed a glass to the Mediterranean man, "Don't worry about them, come and see my new collection." ”

"You always have something good!" The Mediterranean man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to stand up, "You have a lot more brains than that Bill." ”

Bill was the last boss.

Wei Xingxing smiled and shook his head, "Bill has helped me a lot. ”

"Of course, he's a good guy."

The two walked to the wine cabinet, Wei Xingxing opened the wine cabinet and took out a blue-gray cardboard box from it, without any marks on it, it looked more like a random box to put things.

He opened the box, and there were four small cups inside, and they were not a set. There are three white ceramic cups with flowing water-like lines along the cups, and one is a gold cup, which is the largest, inlaid with broken stones, and its color is very dark, whether it is gems or gold, it can be said that it is inconspicuous.

But the Mediterranean man's breathing slowed down, and he seemed to have forgotten how to catch his breath. His face turned pale and his eyes straightened, "Oh God, oh God......" He glared at Wei Xingxing, "It's not real, sue me, it's not true!" ”

"It's a replica." Wei Xingxing closed the lid of the cardboard box.

The Mediterranean man seemed to finally want to breathe, he gasped, poured all the champagne into his mouth, and circled around the room, "Okay, okay......" He turned to Wei Xingxing, "How much?" ”

"It's a replica." Wei Xingxing smiled, "It's not worth much, you said last time you wanted to find two paintings?" ”

"Yes. Of course, my restaurant doesn't have those two paintings, and the customers who don't have them don't come! The Mediterranean man's eyes lit up, and he smiled happily, "Dear William, how much do you bid for those two paintings?" ”

Wei Xingxing turned around, took the wine bottle, and poured it for him again, "This, it will be ...... at the auction."

"Oh, William, you cunning fellow!" The Mediterranean man laughed, not minding, he took a sip of wine, smiled and said, "Why don't you say something else?" I've heard ......," he said, glancing at the carton with the cup in it, "dear old Sam, he's dead in his sixties. ”

"It's a pity, he's a good friend of mine." Wei Xingxing said with a smile, "No one thought that he would still drive by himself at his age, and he should let the driver drive." ”

"yes." The Mediterranean man looked at the carton again, "Speaking of which, I once saw a genuine item in his collection, and he liked the chalice so much that he said he would take it to the coffin. ”

Wei Xingxing smiled: "I like it too." He glanced at the stone lotus platform on his glass.
