Cheng Qi had that strange dream, he couldn't sleep anymore, and when he looked out the window, the sky was blue, and it was almost dawn.

The next day, Gu Xi woke up early, and she had a good jet lag.

When she opened her eyes, she was very happy to meet Cheng Qi's face, and she kissed Cheng Qi on the face and said, "I'll go brush my teeth first." She rolled over and got out of bed.

Cheng Qi chased after her back and said, "Let's go to Outer London today, have I sued you?" ”

"Nope." Gu Xi replied in the bathroom.

Cheng Qi's head tilted on Gu Xi's pillow, rubbed it and said, "There is a person, his grandfather is a knight, and he has some of our things." Now their family is no longer in the old days, and they are also interested in immigrating a few years later, let's take a look. ”

Gu Xi stood at the door of the bathroom, holding a towel and asked, "Have you received things from him before?" ”

Cheng Qi lay on the pillow and looked at her resentfully, "I'm not walking the streets, why do you say that I collect things." ”

Gu Xi thought for a while, "Yun, I know if you call Yun." ”

Cheng Qi rolled over and got out of bed with a smile.

He stood at the door of the bathroom, Gu Xi had already handed over the toothbrush, and she said, "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?" It doesn't look like it's very energetic. ”

Cheng Qi took the electric toothbrush, pondered for a moment, and said, "I had a strange dream last night, dreaming of Gu Nian and Ah Jin. ”

Gu Xi applied the sun cream, forgot the gesture when he heard this, looked at him with wide eyes, and only rubbed it in one place on his face, "Tell me about it." ”

Cheng Qi brushed his teeth and nodded.

Gu Xi waited for him intently, stopped putting on makeup, and took a cup to catch water for him, "Okay or bad?" She asked expectantly.

Cheng Qi took the cup and rinsed his mouth, and Gu Xi had already put the towel on it.

He took it with a smile and told the story of the dream, "Do you say that it is strange, and there is a head and an end." ”

Gu Xi was surprised, "How do I think it seems to be true, logic has everything." Could it be that you still have some connection over there, do you have a launcher on you? She turned to Cheng Qi to look.

Cheng Qi was dragged around by her, looking helpless. Gu Xi asked, "How many times have you dreamed of that over there?" ”

"For the first time." Cheng Qi's towel tapped her nose, "Mostly because you asked at night, I dreamed about it, I thought about it day and night, I don't want to have contact with that side." ”

Gu Xi said, "Have you seen Gu Xi after plastic surgery?" ”

Cheng Qi frowned and said impatiently, "I'll see what she does." ”

Gu Xi said, "I just judge the truth of your dream." What about Gu Nian? Her tone was slightly gloomy, and she hugged Cheng Qi's waist from behind, and said affectionately, "Forget it, let's just take it as a dream." There will never be an answer to how many things in this world, and our current time is our reality. ”

Cheng Qi put down the towel and pulled her out, she became a small train, hanging on Cheng Qi's waist all the time, wherever he went, she followed.

*******

A few hours later, the two drove to Outer London.

Two Englishmen came with him, in their forties. Cheng Qi told Gu Xi that he had invited him because he was too young now.

They parked their car in the town and walked inward along the sloping and narrow road.

I don't know where I will go, Gu Xi looked at the windows on both sides, they were small and delicate houses, and felt that such a place made her very happy.

Gu Xi said, "Have you seen this thing in the future?" ”

Cheng Qi said, "I don't remember very clearly, I saw too many things later, this should be the auction house they took the initiative to contact, this time a few years earlier, I found an auction house to contact them." ”

"Where did you find the auction house?" Gu Xi asked in a low voice.

Cheng Qi said, "It's the one before, I took a stake in his auction house, his auction house is not doing well, and now it's making some medieval furniture, because it can't be sustained, and I'm trying to make new furniture." ”

Gu Xi said, "You know so well, did he go out of business later?" ”

Cheng Qi nodded with a smile and said in a low voice, "This auction house was registered early, let's take over, and we will use them externally in the future." This avoids what happened last time. Let's keep a low profile this time. ”

Gu Xi smiled sweetly at him, "It turns out that you are thinking about the same thing as me." ”

Cheng Qi raised his right hand, squeezed her hand and said, "It's not good to take this road without your own auction house, the history of European auction houses has been very mature for a hundred years, and there is a very mature industrial chain. The two largest auction houses, except for commissions, have been exposed because of monopoly. In fact, in terms of auctions, auction houses have their own unspoken rules, and they only need to delineate their own market hotspots. ”

Gu Xi didn't know if he guessed right, and asked, "What do you mean to put it bluntly, isn't it just, what is good to sell and what people receive?" This is the same as the concept that in our sales, we do not look at what we sell, but what consumers need. ”

Cheng Qi: "......"

Gu Xi didn't say anything when he saw him, only smiled, and said, "Or do you mean to say that they also have complete control over the pricing power, just like the previous air conditioners, if it weren't for Oaks breaking the inside story of this industry, everyone would still be buying air conditioners at a high price, and I think it's a great thing." It must be worth four or five thousand, but in fact, the cost is no more than two thousand. ”

Cheng Qi laughed lowly, raised his hand, hugged her with a sigh and said, "Such a tasteful and stylish industry, let you explain, the more you explain, the more you lose your halo." ”

After speaking, he turned his head sideways and kissed Gu Xi, looking like he couldn't love it.

Gu Xi whispered, "Originally, every line is like this, if you dare to announce the cost price, there will be no profit." As soon as she finished speaking, she was shocked that something was wrong, "This is 02 years and it hasn't happened yet, it's bad." She looked left and right, "It's good that there's no one." ”

Cheng Qi hugged her tightly and said softly, "Do you feel that there are opportunities all around, and you just don't know what to give up?" ”

Gu Xi looked at him softly, "Life is rare not to get, but to give up, this sentence is right." ”

Cheng Qi said, "I never ask for much, I just want the same." ”

Gu Xi suddenly laughed, "I want to love you alone, right?" ”

Cheng Qi raised his hand and rubbed her head, "That was my previous idea, and I want to take care of you now." ”

Gu Xi stopped and pointed to the candy in the window, "It's so beautiful, let's bring more later." I put it in the company to entertain guests. It's beautiful enough. ”

Cheng Qi said, "You bring it back from here and greet the guests?" For such a long journey, can you bring it back once and again and again? ”

Gu Xi put his arm around him, "You don't understand it at first glance, all the people in our company are men, and there are a few men who eat sugar." So no one will eat it for a year and a half, but it looks so good. It is still necessary to package the details. In a few years, when our Taobao is thriving, any packaging can be available, and I don't need to be like this. ”

Cheng Qi: "...... How do you think so much. ”

When we turned a small road, we saw a large jungle. The big house wrapped in it is not as exaggerated as the villa, but it also shows the former glory.

Outside London, England, there have always been few people and large places, but those who can build houses on land have always had families.

The host was not there and arranged for someone to receive them. The man was fifty miles away, and the standard English butler invited them to sit in the drawing-room, and went to call the master for instructions.

The style of the score.

Gu Xi was in a wonderful mood, which showed that the master didn't value his own things, so he let them see it casually. Or is it that the master does not take them seriously.

She asked Cheng Qi in a low voice, "How did you find this one, don't you want to sell it?" ”

Cheng Qi leaned into her ear in a low voice and said, "I have sold things at home before, and I am paying attention to the sellers who make my impression, and I only found someone to come here when this company intends to sell something." ”

Gu Xi thought about it, Cheng Qi was not reckless. What's more, he is now condescending to rely on himself for everything, how can he dig a trap for himself to eat behind closed doors.

After a while, there was the sound of cars outside, and Gu Xi looked out through the wooden-framed window and saw a BMW driving in.

The receptionist came out of nowhere and went out to greet someone, only to find out that it was from another auction house.

Gu Xi was faintly a little unhappy, and it was said that the British people were the most straightforward in doing things, and many times the "board eyes" could really be depressed to death, just like buying a house, everyone visited together, and then returned to the intermediary to sneak their respective offers, the one with the highest price may not be obtained, it depends on which buyer the owner prefers.

The so-called comprehensive consideration.

"Could it be that this antique sells like a house?" She asked Cheng Qi in a low voice.

Cheng Qi rubbed her hand and silently comforted her, "Let's take a look first." ”

Everything is in the basement.

The host was very generous and asked them to take a look freely.

The decoration is very good, unlike the general home wine cellar, which is full of antiques, Gu Xi was a little surprised to see it, there were many large jars, and there were various color paintings on them, which she didn't recognize.

She asked Cheng Qi, "What's that?" ”

Cheng Qi glanced at it and whispered, "This is a Greek BC painted pottery, but it is decorated here." ”

Gu Xi said, "It looks like a vase." ”

"It's called a vase, but it's not a flower arrangement." Cheng Qi smiled and whispered, "After the 18th century." They only conducted a systematic study of ancient pottery, although it was customary to call it a vase, but in fact, the painted pottery at that time was only practical, such as as drinking utensils, the wine they drank was mixed with water, this method was later used by the Taiwanese Do you know? ”

Gu Xi's big eyes blinked, "Taiwanese? ”

Cheng Qi nodded and said seriously, "At that time, the ancient Greeks thought that they wanted to drink wine and add water, so they needed a large container, so that they could mix wine and water well, so they made a large open basin, and after the water and wine were fused, they felt that they needed a 'pot', so it was easy to load, so they made a large pot that could pour wine." ”

Gu Xi asked, "What does that have to do with the Taiwanese?" ”

Cheng Qi said, "In the early years, Taiwanese went to China to do business, and brought in a popular drinking method, which was to pour red wine and 7-up into a large beer bunch and mix it with lemon slices. ”

Gu Xi pushed him, "I hate it, lie to me again!" ”

At that moment, with a love for honor, Cheng Qi's heart suddenly rose into a fire, his hand hung down, held Gu Xi's hand, and scraped her palm with his fingers.

I just feel that I can't love enough, and I can't see enough.

Gu Xi looked sideways at a painting next to him, deliberately pretending to be nothing, and asked him again, who is this woman with a shield on it? ”

Cheng Qi said, "The goddess of victory, she is writing victory on the shield, but this is not a master's work. ”

Behind him there were footsteps.

They looked back and saw the person who greeted them coming over and asking in Chinese, "Do you like this?" ”

Gu Xi's head was instantly blind, it turned out that this person could speak Chinese.

Cheng Qi replied casually, "I like it very much, it reminds me of the bas-relief on the celebration pillar of Trajan in Rome." ”

The man smiled and said, "Isn't that the one?" He looked at Cheng Qi's eyes differently, "I'm sorry I was very surprised to see you too young and Oriental before." ”

Gu Xi lowered his gaze.

Cheng Qi said, "Art has no borders, and many of your modern artworks here are good." ”

The housekeeper glanced at the painted pottery next to Gu Xi, probably not expecting Cheng Qi to definitely set this as a modern work of art. He stood for a moment before he said, "Go inside and see, there's a lot more in there." ”

He walked to the cabinet in front of him, Gu Xi looked sideways at Cheng Qi, and Cheng Qi took her hand.

Then they saw the man press the code on the cabinet, and the cabinet was removed, revealing a house inside.

The high glass cabinet with a ceiling allows you to see a variety of porcelain shining in the distance.

Gu Xi suddenly realized, it was so easy to let in, it turned out that the threshold was inside the door.

If you don't know how to do it, you probably won't even be able to open the real door.
