Chapter 0085: Martier
"Blue Butterfly, can you talk less nonsense?" Long Yang was a little speechless.
Lan Zhiwei looked at the man's embarrassment, laughing and trembling, and looking charming.
While the auction was still going on, the rhino horn carving cup from the early Ming Dynasty was finally bought by a wealthy merchant who loved to collect antiques for a whopping 43 million Chinese coins.
Tang Yuxi, who was standing in the other corner, was waiting for the auction of the Bible, and he didn't care about He Xinhao's dedication beside him.
And An Yao's little girl ran to Tang Yuxi in a hurry, the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a few days, and immediately chatted happily, and even squeezed He Xinhao aside.
"Cousin, where did Sun Wukong go, why didn't he stay with you?" An Yao asked.
"Bodyguards and drivers are not allowed here, he should stay outside in the greenhouse." Tang Yuxi replied.
"Really?" An Yao pouted, "I didn't see him outside......"
As she spoke, the girl looked around, and soon found Long Yang's figure at the edge of the crowd.
"Cousin, look, that guy is staying with a big beauty, embryo!"
An Yao pointed to Long Yang's location, and Tang Yuxi and He Xinhao looked over at the same time.
Both of them were a little surprised, but the girl was annoyed, since this guy had slipped in, but he came to find him, and he actually accosted and chatted with a beautiful woman she didn't know.
And He Xinhao's face was a little gloomy, he didn't expect that Long Yang and Lan Zhiwei would come together.
In this way, the Sheng Qing Gang is already wooing Long Yang, and behind his back, he should already have some contact with Tang Wentian.
He Xinhao's brain was very good, and he immediately thought of a lot, and his eyes swept around, and there was no Tang Wentian and Ye Shuo on the scene, so he affirmed his conjecture even more.
A cold smile flashed at the corner of his mouth, even so, he wouldn't be too worried, the terrifying backers behind the Four Snakes Gang were not something that the Sheng Qing Gang and the Tianlan Group could contend with.
At this time, An Yao pouted a little angrily and said, "Cousin, I'll help you get Sun Wukong over!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the girl ignored Tang Yuxi's obstruction and ran towards Long Yang.
Lan Zhiwei was chatting with Long Yang about some precautions for going to the helmsman of the Hospitality Gang tomorrow, when she saw a cute girl jumping over, jumping high, and knocking Long Yang's head hard with her pink fist.
"Ouch."
Long Yang screamed in pain, covered his head and looked back, and saw that it was An Yao, and his somewhat angry face became wonderful.
"Stinky girl, why did you hit me?" The man said.
"Sun Wukong, if you don't protect your cousin, you will know that you are flirting with beautiful women, who will I beat if I don't beat you?" An Yao crossed her waist and scolded.
"Monkey King?" Lan Zhiwei's expression on the side was a little exciting, looking at the girl's cute appearance, she couldn't help but smile, and said, "Long Yang, it turns out that Secretary An's daughter is so cute, and she gave you such a loving nickname." ”
Long Yang's face was full of black lines, and before he could speak, An Yao glared at Lan Zhiwei with hostility, puffed up her small chest and said, "Who are you, Sun Wukong is my cousin's person, you must not get too close to him!" ”
Lan Zhiwei finally couldn't help but chuckle, and at this moment, Tang Wentian, Ye Shuo and Jing Shengwan came back from the balcony with relaxed expressions, obviously the cooperation project was well discussed.
"Uncle, Sister Jing." An Yao shouted.
"Oh, it turned out that Yaoyao was here."
Tang Wentian smiled, shook hands with Ye Shuo again, and the meaning of both parties was written in his eyes, and then deliberately kept a certain distance.
"Long Yang, don't forget our agreement."
Lan Zhiwei said to Long Yang, and then followed Ye Shuo to the side.
Long Yang nodded and looked at Tang Wentian, who had a somewhat meaningful gaze, but didn't say anything.
The auction lasted more than an hour, and finally the last item in the auction, the Bible published in Philadelphia in 1890, was put up for public bidding.
Tang Yuxi, who was a little bored, finally came to his senses and squeezed into the crowd accompanied by He Xinhao.
When An Yao saw it, he also dragged Long Yang towards Tang Yuxi.
This Bible has been preserved for 100 years, with leather hardcover, three-body gold-brushed, very typical Victorian style binding, a gilded cover of the sacred story, and more than 1,000 exquisite copper engravings and woodcut illustrations.
The reserve price of the auction was 7,000 Huaxia coins, and most of the people present were interested, and only a few people were bidding.
Tang Yuxi is bound to get this book, and he keeps shouting the price, but what is interesting is that there is a foreign couple in the crowd who seems to be very interested in this book, and they actually follow Tang Yuxi to shout the price.
Within a few minutes, the Bible was called for 15,000 Huaxia coins, and everyone present was a little stunned.
Tang Yuxi was a little annoyed, shouting faster and faster, and the foreign couple was not to be outdone, as if they were deliberately going against Tang Yuxi.
Long Yang couldn't help but look at the foreign couple with some doubts, the man was forty years old, with a small goatee, and he was upright.
And the woman next to him is much younger, with golden curly hair, fiery lips, fair complexion, charming and dignified dress, full of the plump temperament of a mature woman.
When the man saw the woman's face, the expression on his face froze and he was speechless.
It's enough luck to meet her here......
"That's Mr. Smith, the president of Gülen Pharmaceuticals Multinational, and next to him is his wife, Martier."
He Xinhao reminded Tang Yuxi at the right time.
"Why are they fighting with me?" Tang Yuxi said dissatisfied.
Long Yang behind him shook his head helplessly, if it was this woman, he could guess the reason.
Soon, the auction price was raised to 45,000 Huaxia coins, just a book, and it was a sky-high price to be speculated, and many merchants around were a little speechless.
And Tang Yuxi is also super stubborn, so he will not compromise, and in the end the Smiths chose to give up, and Tang Yuxi auctioned the Bible at a high price of 50,000 Chinese dollars.
This scene made everyone present a little dumbfounded, even Tang Wentian shook his head with a wry smile.
At the end of the auction, everyone scattered and continued to chat, and most of the people took this opportunity to exchange business cooperation with each other.
Long Yang followed behind Tang Yuxi, curling his neck, as if he was hiding something, even An Yao kept talking to him, he didn't bother to care.
And Tang Yuxi was contented with holding this heavy Bible, as if he was holding a treasure, and He Xinhao on the side didn't know what to say.
However, at this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who were bidding with Tang Yuxi just now, seemed to be discussing something in a whisper, and slowly walked towards the girl.
"Hello this beautiful young lady, I'm John Smith of Gülen Pharmaceuticals, and this is my wife, Martier."
Smith showed a British gentleman's smile and said gently to Tang Yuxi in relatively blunt Chinese.
"Is there anything you guys are up to?" Tang Yuxi asked lukewarmly, and at the same time hugged the book in his arms tightly.
"That's right, my wife is a Jew and a devout Christian, and she is very interested in this Bible, I wonder if Miss will be able to cut her love and give it to my wife, and I am willing to buy it at double the price I just bid."
Smith said slowly.
"Double the price? Then why didn't you just keep bidding with me? The girl asked.
"Madame actually doesn't want to fight with the young lady, but as a husband, I will do my best to give her what she wants."
Smith smiled, making Tang Yuxi's beautiful eyes condense, and he was a little moved.
And behind Smith, the gorgeous and plump Martil had a happy and gentle smile on her face until her apricot eyes caught a glimpse of Long Yang behind Tang Yuxi.
Immediately, an unbelievable expression appeared on the woman's face, and her beautiful eyes burst out with a strange look.
"Alex?!" The woman covered her mouth and almost cried out.
