Chapter 215: The dog jumps over the wall
Wei Xingxing only felt that money came so easily, just like turning on a faucet, and money fell like a pillar like water.
From the beginning, he just put this stone lotus platform in the auction house to squeeze out those who disagreed with him and disagreed with him, but later he found out that there were actually many other ways to use this thing!
He sent it to someone else's house, made up a bloody story for it, and those fools would love it, put it in the bedroom, in the office, and slowly swallow it.
He knew, he knew how this thing worked. This reminded him of his father, he remembered that his father Wei Dongshan had never missed a hand since he started collecting, he could always receive what he wanted to collect, even if it was not for a while, as long as he knew where it was, he would always get it in the end.
Now, he guessed that his father also used the stone lotus platform at home in this way.
Similarly, he also speculated that his father's eventual sudden death may also be related to the excessive use of the stone lotus platform.
He wasn't worried about himself. Because he had already thought about it, his father had been using Shiliantai since he was in elementary school until he graduated from college, and he only needed to use it for ten years...... Fifteen years, and then sell this stone lotus platform and sell it far away? As long as he wasn't as greedy as his father, nothing would happen.
Fifteen years, fifteen years, how much wealth will he accumulate?
Thinking of this, Wei Xingxing couldn't help but laugh.
On Monday of the following week, the auction began, and none of the nineteen lots went unsold, the most notable of which were two paintings by a modern painter, which fetched sky-high prices and earned a place in the newspapers.
Someone in Tao Bin's school also saw the newspaper, Hanks sighed again and again, looked left and right at the two paintings in the newspaper, and said, "I can also paint this painting, where is it valuable?" ”
"It's art." His girlfriend kissed him.
Hanks laughed, "Looks like I don't have any artistic muscles. He kissed his girlfriend back, and the two forgot about the newspaper.
Tao Bin saw that they left first, and it seems that Friday's date was a success, and Hanks and his girlfriend are closer. But it was the auction house, and he saw that the newspaper shop had been selling staggering auction prices lately, and that "it seemed that Williams had a discerning boss," the newspaper said.
Due to the good business of the auction house, many people have recently come to the auction house with their grandmother's treasured vases, father's beloved oil paintings and other items to ask them to help with the auction, and even lined up at the door to attract a good tabloid to take a photo.
But most of these people were rejected, and the boss didn't come out to see them, not even the auctioneer. A man holding an oil painting told reporters: "I don't know, I just went in and had a cup of tea, and then the man sued me that their lot had to be nodded by the boss and did not accept my painting." ”
The auction house's strange approach has raised some eyebrows. You know, although auction houses occasionally sell sky-high lots, it's these little things that support their business. They can't just live on those sky-high prices, which they may not encounter once in ten years.
But the auction house said that the owner had gone to France, and it was said that there was a painting by Rembrandt, which was not in the country for the time being, and could not be interviewed by them.
During the holidays, Tao Bin decided to go on an independent trip with his classmates to visit the beautiful scenery of the French countryside.
They set off in a rented car with camping tools on it, a camera ready, and they set off from Geneva to get a glimpse of the summer Alps.
There were a lot of tourists here, but Tao Bin still recognized the owner of Williams Auction House at a glance, he had seen his photo at the auction house, and he looked much thinner than the photo of him.
There was a girl in the car who was hitchhiking, and when she saw it, she screamed, "This man looks like a vampire count!" ”
Tao Bin found this description to be very appropriate.
Under the sun in the south of France in July, the boss is still wearing a three-piece suit and even holding a trench coat in his hand. His face is pale, his eyes are blue, his lips are pale and bloodless, his cheeks are thin, and he really looks like a vampire from a movie.
Of course, he caused the girls in the car to scream because he was dressed out of place with the tourists on the side of the road, and he looked like he was going to the king's banquet.
Tao Bin heard another girl in the car say, "Do you say those two rings on his hand are real?" ”
This person wears a ring on his left and right hands, and the gems on the ring are larger than Tao Bin's fingernails.
Before they could leave, a Rolls-Royce slid gently past and stopped in front of him. Tao Bin heard the people in the same car sigh softly, they felt that this was a matter of course, this kind of person must take this kind of car.
Tao Bin glanced back, he remembered that in the introduction he saw in the auction house, this boss seemed to have only been here for ten years? How did he make so much money? Before he heard about it, the auction house was about to be converted into a fast-food restaurant selling hamburgers.
Wei Xingxing got into the car and smiled at the driver, "The weather is good today." ”
The driver glanced at him in the rearview mirror and was very surprised that this gentleman stood under the sun for twenty minutes and still did not sweat a drop, was he born without hidrosis?
"Yes, sir." He said, and started the car slowly.
The car merged into the traffic, Wei Xingxing put down his handbag, put his hands on his lap, and one leg couldn't help but start shaking, until he found it and quickly stopped.
He shifted his position, resting his cheek with one hand and looking out the window.
He remembered what the banker he had tried to see had said, "Dear William, it's not that I don't want to make money, it's just that ...... I think you should think more about whether your feet have stepped into the mud. ”
What does he mean by that?
Wei Xingxing's heart suddenly panicked at that time. He thought about it and felt that it was impossible for anyone to know the secret of Shi Liantai. If not this thing, then those lots?
But the way those lots came from was "normal". Is someone eyeing him? fbi?
This made Wei Xingxing no longer have the heart to continue to stay in France, and after he went back in a panic, he immediately sent Shi Liantai out.
Because this is the thing that scares him the most!
Moreover, he was not sent elsewhere, but to the school. He felt that it would be easy to find a way to get things back in the future.
When Tao returned to school, he heard that Williams Auction House had donated paintings, sculptures and antiques to the school.
When he saw the stone lotus platform, he was stunned.
In the process of corresponding, he saw the 3D animation that He Tian made when he was studying Shilian Terrace, so he could recognize it at a glance, it was the same thing as in He Tian's animation.
"This is donated by the auction house?" He asked Hanks.
"Yes, supposedly a private donation." Hanks said, "Write the donor's name underneath, which pavilion it might be placed in the future." You can go and see it then. ”
Tao Bin took advantage of people's inattention and secretly took photos with his mobile phone. After he returned to the rented place, he thought about it and sent the photo to Professor Shi, and the letter said that it was donated to the school by the auction house, and I don't know if it was the same thing as the research in the paper.
Professor Shi was taken aback when he saw it, of course he recognized it at a glance as Shi Liantai.
If nothing goes wrong, this is the last one in the world. And it's not coming from the right place. At that time, the thief had smuggled him out of the country, and now it is not possible to use legitimate means to get it back.
What's worse is that there are already people using it to do evil, and if you don't care, the person who uses it will only use it to harm more people.
Shi Wuwei replied to Tao Bin with a letter.
Tao Bin was taken aback, he didn't expect Professor Shi to happen to come to this city to do business, he quickly replied that he was free and could be a tour guide and take Professor Shi to visit the school.
"Professor Shi has taken a leave of absence?"
Qin Qing saw the news of the suspension of classes in his freshman and sophomore years on the bulletin board, and listened to the person next to him talking about Professor Shi, so he hurriedly asked, "Is Professor Shi what you are talking about Professor Shi Wuwei?" ”
"Yes, he taught us."
"Last week, he said he was going to give us a new class this week."
"yes, why did you suddenly ask for leave?"
Qin Qing hadn't gone to see Professor Shi for the past two days, so he didn't know about it at all. After hearing about it, she casually went to Professor Shi's office. The door to the classroom was open, but inside were the students, who said it was borrowed from Professor Shi's office.
"I don't know, Professor Shi didn't say where he went." The student said.
Qin Qing went out suspiciously.
Strange, did Professor Shi have an accident at home? Why did it suddenly disappear?
