Chapter 020: Arrival in New York
After a 24-hour flight, Su Hongwen's United Airlines plane landed at New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport.
When Su Hongwen walked down from the plane with the escort, several black Ford cars were already waiting on the tarmac.
When a middle-aged white man in a suit saw Su Hongwen, he immediately stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, and said with a bright expression on his face: "Mr. Su, hello, welcome to New York, I am the general manager of Christie's New York branch, Aldrich. ”
Su Hongwen smiled and stretched out his right hand, shook hands with Aldrich, and said, "Hello! Mr. Aldrich! ”
The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after congratulating Su Hongwen on discovering Dream Island, Aldrich said to Su Hongwen: "Mr. Su has been running all the way, he must be very tired, he will rest in the hotel for a day today, and I will pick you up when the auction starts tomorrow." ”
After taking the plane for 24 hours, Su Hongwen did feel very tired, so he nodded and said, "Okay, thank you again Mr. Aldrich for your hospitality." ”
After that, Su Hongwen stayed at the Langham Place Hotel on Fifth Avenue in New York.
………………
In the afternoon, five o'clock.
In the presidential suite of the Langham Place Hotel, Su Hongwen met Xiaobai, who came to report to work.
Su Hongwen, who had just taken a shower and was wrapped in a bath towel, took the wine glass handed over by Xiaobai, first shook the red wine in the wine glass, then took a big sip and felt it with his eyes closed.
"Tsk, this 10,000 dollars of red wine is no different from the dozens of dollars of red wine I used to drink, it's so unpleasant!" Su Hongwen shook his head, put down the red wine glass and said with a sneer.
Xiao Bai glanced at Commander Su speechlessly, then took a sip of the scarlet wine in the glass, and then showed an intoxicated expression on his face.
Su Hongwen's eyes widened when he saw this, and he said with disdain: "You are just a robot, and you are an alien robot, and you know a fart of red wine?" Can you not show that dying-ready expression? I don't like it to watch! ”
Xiaobai smiled and said: "Mr. Su, in high society, tasting red wine is the basic etiquette, even if you feel unpleasant, you have to smile freely." I have to say that I still appreciate the wine culture of the earth, in addition to keeping in touch with Christie's during this time, I spent the rest of my time in the bar. ”
Now it was Su Hongwen's turn to be speechless, he wanted to say, you are a robot, even if you pour a ton of alcohol, you can't get drunk, and if you drink it, you will drink it in vain!
But it's rare that there is finally something on Earth that can surpass the Drocrocodile planet, it's not easy!
Therefore, Su Hongwen thought about it, but still didn't say it.
"Okay, I don't need to report on the work, I just need to see the final result!" Speaking of this, Su Hongwen asked, "You just said that you have been staying in the bar all this time?" ”
"yes, I like to go to the bar for a drink or two when it's okay, and by the way, flirt with beautiful women." Xiaobai said with a smile.
"Hah, flirtatious beauty? Do you even have some of the functions of a man? Su Hongwen glanced at Xiaobai's lower body, raised his eyebrows and laughed.
"Of course, not only me, but all the other robots on the spaceship have this function, but we don't have the ability to reproduce humans, and everything else is no different from humans." Xiaobai replied.
Su Hongwen said secretly when he heard this: Fortunately, you don't have the function of reproduction, otherwise the human race will be ruled by your robots sooner or later.
………………
The next day, a luxurious conference room in Rockefeller Center, New York.
This conference room has long been arranged as an auction site, and when Su Hongwen walked in, it was already full of people.
"Hello, Mr. Su!" After Aldrich saw Su Hongwen, he gave Su Hongwen a warm hug, and then said: "Mr. Su, let me introduce you to you, this is Willem-Alexander, a member of the Dutch royal family." ”
William-Alexander, the eldest son of Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands, is 39 years old and has a typical European face, blue eyes, a three-dimensional face, and brown hair.
Su Hongwen was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect that the middle-aged handsome guy in front of him was actually a member of the royal family, and after reacting, he greeted with a smile: "Hello, Prince William, I'm Su Hongwen!" ”
"Hello, Mr. Su, if you can return to us the gold and silver coins that belong to our Netherlands, I think you will get the friendship of the entire Dutch royal family and the people." After William Alexander shook hands with Su Hongwen, he said in a calm tone.
Su Hongwen shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "I'm sorry, Mr. Prince, now that this batch of gold and silver coins has been put on the auction shelf, I have no right to hand them over to you again, but if I find a Dutch shipwreck treasure next time, I will definitely not auction it again, and give it to you directly." ”
When William-Alexander heard this, his face turned cold, and he said: "You must know that if you offend our royal family, you will not be able to move an inch in the Netherlands, please think about it again." ”
Su Hongwen blinked, showing an innocent expression, and said, "Eh, Your Excellency Prince, what do you mean?" Why don't I understand something? Uh, I don't seem to have offended your royal family? Can you make that clear? ”
"You...... Very good! William-Alexander's expression was gloomy for a while, and then he regained his composure, and after taking a deep look at Su Hongwen, he didn't say anything, turned around and left here, and returned to the auction site.
In this regard, Su Hongwen just shrugged his shoulders and said that he was helpless.
Aldrich was not concerned about Willem-Alexander's departure, as he had met with Willem-Alexander several times in the intervening years, and each time they had broken up.
So William Alexander told Christie's that he wanted to talk to Su Hongwen in person, which was one of the reasons why Christie's invited Su Hongwen to New York.
Then, after walking a few steps, Aldrich came to an old man and introduced Su Hongwen again: "Mr. Su, this is the Duke of Edward of England. ”
Okay, it was the prince just now, and now there is a duke, could it be that the auction scene today is all members of the European royal family?
In England, the duke is the highest nobleman after the king or prince, much more noble than the marquis, earl, viscount and baron, and generally does not leave the territory of the United Kingdom, even if he goes to other countries, there are very large ceremonies, and the British royal family has to send people to protect them.
Therefore, for the old man in front of him, dressed as an ordinary British gentleman and carrying a civilized staff, Su Hongwen couldn't put the title of Duke on his head.
"Hello, Duke Edward!" Su Hongwen greeted the old man with a smile on his face.
Duke Edward smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Su, I have to say that I am very envious of your luck, if you have time, you are welcome to my manor." ”
"Thank you Duke for the invitation, I will definitely visit you when I have time." Su Hongwen replied with a smile.
