First Arrival Territory: 128. Auction Preparation

Next chapter

At the end of April, Christie's Bell-430 helicopters flew to Sunset again, and Adams walked down with a group of eight men, each of whom was capable of leading the auction industry.

They came to town this time to prepare for the auction.

In the past, auctions were held in five-star hotels, which made it easier for guests to rest, but this auction was a special auction for the Roberts family's collection of antiques, and Adams and Wang Bo negotiated and held it in the castle.

Antiques were found from Jazz Castle, where they stayed for a hundred years, and it would be more appropriate to return here for auction.

In addition, the castle has a similar temperament to the antique, and it is a super antique in its own right, which can add some gimmicks to the auction.

Wang Bo is very willing to take on the responsibility of holding the auction, because he knows that all the people who come to participate in the auction are rich people, and it is definitely a good thing to let the town get a little relationship with these people.

The preparation time for this auction is not very long, only about a month.

However, Christie's is the world's top auction house after all, and Adams explained to Wang Bo on the phone, saying that the rich people who should be interested in these antiques have been notified.

Adams and his party arrived first, followed by a convoy, and Christie's hired a team of international security companies to take care of the security, as well as a team of excellent chefs and waiters.

This is the courage of the top antique companies, and they spend more than two million New Zealand dollars just to hire security guards and other service personnel, which makes Lao Wang staggering.

Wang Bo came up to greet the group and led them to clean up the room.

On the way, Adams introduced him: "This time a total of more than 100 rich people have been invited, mainly from the free route, and you will have to make more friends with these people when the time comes, it will be helpful to you." ”

Wang Bo thanked Adams for his kindness, and then asked curiously, "What is the free route?" ”

Adams smiled and said, "It can be considered the name of a club, a club that has been around for a long time, and a club of the richest people. ”

"You know, King, the first immigrants to New Zealand were British convicts and free peasants, and they came from the sea, and the name of that route was Freedom Route, and these people came ashore and came together to create this union."

"Later, as these people got their first pot of gold in New Zealand, their families developed very well, and slowly, the free route became synonymous with New Zealand's top rich circle."

Wang Bo suddenly realized and said, "I understand, this is the New Zealand version of the Skull and Bones Club, the Huaxia Alumni Association and the Windsor Farm, right?" ”

Adams smiled and nodded, "Yes, you're right to think so. ”

The Skull and Bones Society is a secret elite society in the United States, whose members include many important figures in American politics, business, and education, including 3 U.S. presidents, 2 Supreme Court officials, and countless U.S. congressmen and senior cabinet officials.

The Huaxia Alumni Association is a group of Chinese business elites, and a group of bigwigs who are dominating the Chinese market and making crazy money belong to it.

As for Windsor Farm, this one is a bit more mysterious, but it is certain that it is a club formed by Canada's top wealthy circles, and the Windsor Farm Belt is the meeting place, hence the name.

Talking about these top circles, Wang Bo jokingly said: "Man, maybe there will be a new super club in New Zealand in the future, what do you think of the Sunset Club?" ”

Adams smiled, "I appreciate your ambition, Wang, but I think the name is average, Sunset Club?" There is always a sense of sad beauty and decadence. ”

"You can interpret it from another angle, the people in our club can join forces to make the sun never rise, so isn't it a lot more domineering?"

"Then I hope you can leave me a place after you create this club."

"Oh, it's hard to say, it's up to you to see where you stand and what you can contribute to the organization."

"I can't guarantee what the future holds, but I bet that this auction will be of great help to you and the organization."

Wang Bo is convinced of this, in fact, in this auction, he played a role in providing a venue, and the organization, preparation, and conduct of the auction were presided over by Adams.

For how to accommodate so many distinguished guests, Lao Wang has a little headache, there are many rooms in the castle, and it is easy to arrange hundreds of people, but these rooms have not been used for a long time, and it is very difficult to add extra beds and daily necessities temporarily.

The bigger problem is that the castle is almost primitive and unrenovated, and it is clear that it is not desirable for the rich to live in such a place.

Adams said it didn't matter, he had a way, he could just arrange for the rich to go to Queenstown, and he would hire helicopters to get people there quickly.

Queenstown is a bigger city than Omalama and one of New Zealand's best cities to visit, with top hotels and rooms booked by Christie's.

The auction was arranged to be held in the main castle hall, and Wang Bo had no choice but to move the Xuanhe family of four.

The Xuanhe couple was very reluctant, it seemed that the crane eggs were about to hatch, and Wang Bo could feel the different feelings when he held it in his hand, which was a sign of the development of the crane.

But now you really can't keep them in the heart of the nest, and it's for their good, what if someone accidentally touches the crane eggs and destroys them?

However, it just so happens that Xuanhe likes to be quiet and does not like to make trouble, and with the arrival of Christie's main force, they are annoyed and willing to take the initiative to leave.

So, each of the two cranes grabbed an egg and flew out, apparently to build a nest in the aquatic grass near Lake Hawea.

Adams' men brought a modular chair, which normally looks like a pile of planks, but when split and combined, it becomes a chair.

This is a complete set of combination chairs, with a total of hundreds of positions, divided into six rows, each row has a dozen chairs, in a stepped shape, the higher the chairs are the further back, just right for the auction site.

Adams also prepared several wooden boxes with simple styles and gorgeous patterns, Wang Bo looked like the cash box he put in front of the unmanned vending stall, he asked Adams, and the other party did not tell him the answer, but said that he would know when the time came.

The hall was covered with a thick embroidered carpet, which was a gift from Christie's to Wang Bo, and Adams wanted to make it after the length and width of the hall, and it would belong to the castle in the future.

The first time the strong man stepped on the carpet, he liked this fluffy and soft blanket very much, especially when it was more comfortable with the heart of the nest, and refused to move when he lay down.

Modular chairs surround the stone staircase in the center of the hall, which has a large platform in the middle, which in the auction is the booth and the auction table.

The rest of the dining room is set up, and the castle is ready to welcome the guests.
