Chapter 208: The Auction Begins
After a while, Xu Wenjie still announced that he would show the prize to everyone to watch, which made Mark a little surprised.
In the past, after knowing the situation of the prize, some guests also hesitated, but in the end they all chose to display the first two reward items, and the third one was not displayed.
Because, if the winner shows all three prizes, then what the third prize is, even the winner himself will not know.
And the situation of the first two bonus items makes many people choose the reason why the third item is not announced to the public, and they also want to know what the third item is.
"Well, our generous winner, forfeits his prize item. So, let's take a look at your long-awaited bonus item, what exactly is it? In fact, the answer is very simple, the reward items prepared for each guest are different and tailored to your situation. ”
When the red cloth was opened, many people were surprised to see the presentation of the prizes inside. Unexpectedly, this winner gave up this award.
"What's the third prize, and why is there only that line?"
"yes, since it's all been revealed, why isn't the third prize explained?"
"We're sorry, but the third prize will not be announced to you because it is related to the personal concerns of the guests. Moreover, because Mr. Xu Wenjie chose to announce all the prizes, he also has no way of knowing what the third prize is. ”
Mark's words made everyone a little depressed, I didn't expect there to be such a rule, but many people speculated that the third prize should be more peculiar than the previous two.
This is also the reason why so many people did not mention it after winning the award. Because it's likely that their own interests are at stake. That's why I didn't say it.
"This is the end of this dinner, and I hope everyone can have a good time in the next trip."
Although the dinner party was over, everyone did not disperse, and some people gathered towards Xu Wenjie's side. For this newcomer who has just entered their sights, there are some who want to get acquainted.
Of course. Many people also have a great interest in Xu Wenjie's ranch.
Seeing that Xu Wenjie was surrounded by more and more people, Lan Luoying showed a strange smile. She stood up and walked outside.
Xu Wenjie dealt with these people, thinking to himself, the other purpose of the uncle to let him come has also been achieved, to meet some rich people in the upper social circle.
When Xu Wenjie returned to the bedroom, he felt that his whole body was collapsed. It's more tiring than a day of running on the prairie.
I made a phone call to my uncle and told him about the things here, and I learned from Qian Fatzi that Qin Daixue's grandfather was an old man who had a deep study of antiques, and he was indeed quite old-fashioned.
Antiques, Xu Wenjie thought to himself, as long as he knew the news, it would not be easy to get the old man to agree. Seemingly. The shipwreck found by the little killer whale still has to find a way. Just get it up.
I believe that as long as there is such a sharp weapon, it is impossible for the old man not to agree at that time. As for Qin Daixue's parents, they are ordinary people, as long as they behave better, there should be no problems.
Lan Luoying told him the news, for him. It is indeed very important, which makes him sure that Qin Daixue does not have a boyfriend now.
I made another phone call and asked about the situation on Jensen's side. As a result, Jensen told him that he would be on the ship soon.
……
"Morning, Mr. Xu Wenjie."
"Hmm. What's happening today? ”
Mu Xiaoxue said while tidying up the room: "Everyone is free to move around today, but there is no activity. If Mr. Xu has nothing to do, he can go to the first floor to have fun, where there are many entertainment facilities. ”
Coming out of the room, Xu Wenjie walked towards the front deck of the yacht, where there were already guests enjoying the morning sea scenery at this time.
Someone greeted him, Xu Wenjie responded politely, it seems that after last night's incident, most of the people on the ship know him.
Listening to the sound of the waves hitting the wall of the ship, looking at the white clouds in the distant sky, the blue sky, makes people feel relaxed.
Xu Wenjie was lying on the recliner, feeling the cool sea breeze caressing his body, and he somewhat understood why many rich people like to go to sea on a yacht to play, this kind of enjoyment is really good.
If there is a beautiful woman by your side, this kind of life will indeed make many people decadent.
Just when Xu Wenjie was enjoying this special tranquility, I don't know when, Lan Luoying was wearing a white skirt and had already sat down on the recliner next to him.
"Would you like a glass, the juice I made myself can't be drunk anywhere else."
Xu Wenjie took the juice she handed over, and asked suspiciously, "How did you know I was here?" ”
"I didn't know you were here, and you're not the only one who likes this kind of quiet place. Actually, I don't think you're fit to come on this cruise ship because you don't feel like a place on this yacht. ”
Xu Wenjie took a sip of juice, there should be ice cubes in it, and it tasted good.
"Perhaps, by the way, thank you for telling me the news last night."
Lan Luoying looked at Xu Wenjie, her heart was full of doubts now, but she knew that even if she asked Xu Wenjie, she would not get any explanation. It seems that if you want to know his secret, you need to find it slowly.
"I've heard that your grassland ranch is now facing a drought problem."
"Well, it's not my ranch that's facing drought, it's the entire African savannah that's facing drought. This is a natural factor, and although there is some impact on the pasture, it is not too great. ”
The two chatted like this, Xu Wenjie didn't notice that in the process of chatting, unconsciously, he was tricked by Lan Luoying with a lot of information. Moreover, the relationship between the two is also changing unconsciously.
Facing the blue cherry blossoms, it was obvious that Xu Wenjie was still too tender. When he came back to his senses, he found that Lan Luoying was looking at him with a grin.
"You ......"
"What am I, you can't blame me for this, you said those things yourself."
"I admit it, I must hide when I see you in the future."
Xu Wenjie stood up and walked towards the restaurant. This really can't be blamed on Lan Luoying, but only in front of his beauty, he relaxed his vigilance. Of course, it has a lot to do with the environment just now.
Fortunately, a lot of the information is irrelevant. Even if you say it, you won't have any problems. Maybe the only trouble is this woman, when she deals with herself in the future, she will find her weaknesses from this information.
The cruise ship had been at sea for two days, and the baby killer whales had been following in the sea, and on the morning of the third day, he finally heard the news that the auction was about to begin.
Also get the news. The communication equipment on the entire ship has been blocked, and if you want to communicate with the outside world, you need to go to a special room on the ship.
In this regard, Xu Wenjie understands that most of the things that will be auctioned on this ship are some shady ones.
At noon, the cruise ship stopped. There was a small boat coming from the sea and docked next to the cruise ship. Then I saw the staff on the boat, bringing a lot of things from the boat.
After Xu Wenjie inquired, he learned that this was the item that the auction was going to auction. In this way, the lot will be transported over without being caught.
Perhaps because they heard that the auction had been transported, everyone came out of it and went to the deck to watch.
But. Until the auction starts, no one can approach those lots except for specific people. Therefore, they can only watch from a distance, but unfortunately there are cardboard boxes outside. Nothing is visible at all.
"There are a lot of auction items that have been shipped this time, and it seems that something has really changed."
"There's definitely changed, I've heard people say that from one auction to three auctions. The first auction was the auction of the things that were originally described, and the second and third auctions seemed to be the auction of some special things. It was our luck to hear that those things were obtained suddenly, and we were in a hurry to sell them, so we decided to auction them on this ship on the fly. ”
"In this way, in addition to the auction items we saw before, we have new auction items to bid on."
"Yes, that's why they reminded us to prepare more money, and I heard that the second and third auctions are special."
Everything was quickly transported to the ship, and when the ship was gone, everyone dispersed quickly, and anyway, in the evening, the first auction began.
"Alas, it's these two guys, I forgot to ask Jensen to help me check the information of these two people."
When Xu Wenjie saw the dinner that day, the two sneaky guys were standing on the deck of the ship at this time and could watch the crew carrying things, as if they were counting something.
It soon became clear to him that the two were counting the number of lots below.
"The numbers are wrong, the batch is not in it, throw the things into the sea, notify them, determine our location."
As soon as one of them finished speaking, the other reached out and threw something like a ball of paper into the sea. Seeing this strange behavior, coupled with their remarks that night, it seems that these two guys could really be pirates.
Watching the two of them leave, Xu Wenjie hurriedly asked the little killer whale to look for what they threw down in the sea. Since it is something used to report information, there must be a record on it.
Soon the baby killer whale found something thrown down in the sea, but it was floating on the surface of the sea and the baby killer whale could not show its face. Xu Wenjie had no choice but to find a fishing net, and asked the little killer whale to get something to the side of the cruise ship and catch it with the net.
It is a specially made floating object with a piece of metal on it, and the metal is engraved with strange symbols. And inside the float, there is also something that is shining, which should be a locator.
After quickly recording the symbols on the metal sheet, Xu Wenjie threw the thing into the sea again. What these guys are going to do, as long as it's not a danger that threatens him, it has nothing to do with him.
The ship has obviously been remembered because of the change in the auction. And, judging from the current situation, more than one group of people has the idea of fighting those mysterious auction items.
It seems that even the blue cherry blossoms are here for those things. And those who weren't on the invitation list were all here for the mysterious auction items.
Xu Wenjie was very curious about what it was that attracted so many people.
Back in the room, he began to try to decipher the strange symbols, trying to find out what the two guys were messing with.
It's a pity that after a long time, I didn't figure out the meaning of a symbol, but I did figure out that these symbols might be the script of a certain tribe.
It's better for people who don't know than the special ciphers used by spies to send messages, because you don't know what to do.
I don't know if it's a hot head, Xu Wenjie asked the staff on the ship, and walked directly to Lan Luoying's room.
"What are you looking for me, did you agree with my suggestion, and are you going to tell me the secret."
Xu Wenjie didn't bother to pay attention to her, took out those symbols, and said, "Do you recognize what these mean?" ”
"Alas, you have studied such an ancient script that is only used in some African tribes."
"So, you know, can you translate it, what does that mean?" Xu Wenjie said excitedly.
Lan Luoying shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, although I know these words, I don't know much, so I can't help you translate." ”
"Well, it looks like I'll have to ask someone else."
Seeing Xu Wenjie turn around to leave, Lan Luoying hurriedly said, "Don't go, although I can't translate, I know someone can translate." ”
Xu Wenjie stopped, looked back at Lan Luoying, and asked, "You didn't lie to me?" ”
"What kind of expression do you have, what am I lying to you doing, go, I'll take you there now."
Xu Wenjie watched her pull herself into the house, felt wrong, and asked, "How do you go to the house?" ”
"Nonsense, don't go into the house, go there, the person who can translate is in the house."
Xu Wenjie looked into the house and found that this room was more luxurious than the one he lived in, and it was also a suite.
"Grandpa, grandpa, you didn't rest, did you?"
"No, Luo Sakura, a friend is here, what is the matter with grandpa?"
The door opened, and the old man sitting with Lan Luo Ying in the restaurant appeared, but he didn't expect him to be Lan Luo Ying's grandfather.
Walking into the house, Xu Wenjie found that this room has a huge floor-to-ceiling window, and when it goes out, there is a balcony, which just allows you to watch the sea, and you don't need to go to the deck to see the sea at all, because the view here is better.
"Grandpa, look at these words, it seems to be the kind of ancient script used by African tribes, can you translate what it means."
"Oh, show me it."
After the old man took the paper with strange symbols from Lan Luoying's hand, he took out a pair of glasses from his pocket and put them on, then sat down on the chair, picked up the pen and began to draw.
Looking at the old man's attentive appearance, he knew that he could understand those strange symbols and words.
Finding Xu Wenjie's puzzled face, Lan Luoying said: "My grandfather is a historian and has a very in-depth study of these ancient things, so he can understand many ancient words. By the way, where did you get this thing, it looks like it's used to record some kind of information. ”
"I'll explain to you when the translation comes out. If that's true, I think you should pay attention to the ship's first aid kits. ”
After half an hour, the old man was heard, "All right, young man, you got this thing from there, and it seems to have the coordinates of our ship written on it." Also, it seems that someone was told not to approach our ship now. ”
Xu Wenjie looked at the content translated by the old man, and he could be sure that the two guys were pirates, and it seemed that they were preparing to fight the ship.
After thinking about it, he still told the two of them about it, and as for whether they would tell the ship's owner, Mark, was not his business. (To be continued......)
