Two hundred and fifty-two. crown
The thrilling days have finally passed, and almost everyone has been tested by life and death in these days.
But when the disaster passed, life still had to go on.
As Zhuge Du said: "We have been delayed for a few days, and we have to take back the time." And Xinan has been so frightened that now the citizens need a carnival to make up for their and the children's frightened hearts. ”
Without hesitating for a minute, Zhuge Du quickly instructed the staff to clean up the damaged zoo, while continuing to let Venus Advertising Company increase its investment in advertising.
Swift, in the name of Yunhai Investment Co., Ltd., also donated 200,000 yuan to the affected areas in the heavy rain. To be honest, there are factors that open up the popularity of Yunhai Company, but if it can not only open up the popularity, but also be able to do good things, such a thing is completely acceptable.
And Ai Xiaohai, who disappeared mysteriously for seven days and came back mysteriously, also recovered some of his previous vitality after spending a few days of forced laughter.
He didn't tell anyone, including what Deng Mengmeng and Xu Yunqi did during this time. It's a secret of his own, a very shocking secret, and if it is revealed, God knows what kind of terrible impact it will cause. Moreover, Ai Xiaohai also knew that sooner or later he would face off against that dragon, with his current strength, he couldn't be the opponent of the dragon at all, so why let the two girls worry about themselves?
It's just that how to improve the cultivation of the Dragon Spirit Bead as soon as possible has become something that Ai Xiaohai can't wait to do...... The dragon is trapped, but why is it trapped. He didn't know the extent of the trap, maybe a year, maybe a month, maybe even tomorrow, the dragon could get out of the trap anytime and anywhere, and at that time, the entire human world would face the most terrible disaster!
The power of the dragon has reached a point where human beings cannot reach it......
……
At Xinan University, as the summer holidays approached, everyone was a little absent-minded. The long summer vacation is here. Return home to reunite with family as soon as possible; Have a good time for two months; Find a place to work. Earn enough money for the next semester...... There are people who are in any mood......
The carnival of Xinan Zoo needs a lot of manpower, and Ai Xiaohai took this opportunity to introduce a group of students to work in his zoo.
Care about Pei there, because the Olympics are getting closer and closer. I came to Xinan University several times to test Ai Xiaohai several times. He was satisfied with the results of each test. Although some of the leaders above are very dissatisfied with the fact that an Olympian never participates in the training camp of the national team. But the concern that knew Ai Xiaohai's temper too well was that Pei withstood the pressure.
Personality, you have to allow some of our players to have their own personality. This is the best excuse for caring about Pei. And he also issued a military order to the leader, in all the projects that Ai Xiaohai signed up for this time. I'm sure I'll get at least one medal.
This is his very conservative promise, in fact, he knows very well that with Ai Xiaohai's strength, it is not as simple as a medal......
……
"Tickets for the 8th, 9th, and 10th days have been sold out, and the next few days are also very good." In the office, Zhuge Du introduced: "We have taken a series of preferential measures in ticket prices, and even free of charge for some specific groups of people, so as to open up the reputation of the zoo to the greatest extent." At the same time, the tour groups have also been contacted, and we have promised them great incentives, and so far, the market response has been very good. The days you schedule your performances are the 8th, 15th, and 22nd. ”
"Huh? Why Is The Interval That Long? Ai Xiaohai didn't quite understand.
"In order to better ensure the curiosity of tourists." Zhuge Du explained: "On your first day of performance, you will definitely be promoted by the first group of tourists, and we have also prepared a large number of photographers to upload your performance to the Internet and other media through various channels, so that everyone can ensure a sense of anticipation...... :
Zhuge Du carefully explained his own series of arrangements.
Ai Xiaohai kept nodding, from this point of view, Zhuge Du is too much stronger than himself.
"Also, I need to know all of your performances, and you can't perform for less than 60 minutes each time." Zhuge Du began to put forward his own conditions: "Moreover, try to make the content of the three performances all different. ”
Ai Xiaohai smiled bitterly.
How can I have any fixed performance content? It's just a play. After thinking about it for a long time, I came up with a few praise contents. But Zhuge Du is still picky and picky, and constantly puts forward his own opinions.
In the next few days, Ai Xiaohai was almost completely immersed in the zoo, constantly making modifications according to Zhuge Du's requirements. Later, he was confused, who is the boss here?
Forget it, forget it, anyway, I once promised Zhuge that everything in the zoo would be decided by him.
Compared with the zoo, Yunhai Investment Co., Ltd., which Swift is in charge of, makes Ai Xiaohai feel much more worry-free, Swift takes care of everything properly, and Ai Xiaohai doesn't have to worry about it at all.
The partnership with MG has already begun in full swing, and not only that, Swift has also invested in two newly established network technology companies.
Ai Xiaohai always felt that he should do something.
Well, the company can't help itself, but at least it can solve some more funds for Swift. After thinking about it in the king's house, he found two more artifacts from the Inca Empire era and prepared to put them up for auction.
Since recognizing Yuan Lao as his godfather, Yuan Lao has done everything he can to help his godson, and introduced almost all of his relationships to Ai Xiaohai. Even when others asked him for help, he intentionally or unintentionally asked Ai Xiaohai to come forward on his behalf to determine Ai Xiaohai's identity as his successor.
At this point, Yuan Xiye also took great pains to treat his godson.
And that auction house of Roy. Swinton already knew very well that Yuan Xiye, who would tremble when he stomped his feet in Xinan and even in the national cultural relics circle, would appear more and more in the future, and many things, this young man named Ai Xiaohai would become his plenipotentiary representative. And in order to ensure the competitiveness and influence of their own auction house. It is necessary to have a good relationship with Ai Xiaohai.
So when Ai Xiaohai approached him with two new Inca artifacts, Swinton agreed to hold an auction for him in the shortest possible time without the slightest hesitation.
In order to do so, he even said that an auction that was originally planned to take place in July was held in advance......
……
"Ai Xiaohai, when are you going to change cars?" After getting out of Ai Xiaohai's car, Yuyan jokingly asked, "You said that your car is not worthy of your identity." ”
"I've got a identity." Ai Xiaohai muttered: "Anyway, I don't have to worry about anything." ”
This is the second time Ai Xiaohai has come to Baoshide Building, which is still an important gathering point for people in the financial circles in Xinan, and the parking spaces below are still lined with luxury cars. But this time Ai Xiaohai had experience, and he actually found a parking space.
A "Bora" was very parked in a bunch of luxury cars.
On the side, an Aston Martin got down a pair of handsome men and women, looking at "Bora" with a strange gaze.
Ai Xiaohai pursed his lips very disdainfully. Said to the swift: "Who actually drove a treasure to a place like this." At first glance, there is no culture. ”
Then, he patted a Maserati next to him: "Secretary Yu, my car will be handled for me tomorrow, get another one." ”
Then. walked into the Baoshide Building with his head held high......
……
When I saw Swinton again. These two people, who have become old friends, look very affectionate. Swinton even welcomed them into the VIP room in person. said straight to the point: "Ai, I heard Yuan say that you have a lot of good things. I'm quite blown away by what you've brought one after another. Hey, I suggest you take out your entire collection and I'll prepare a special auction for you. ”
"Don't even think about it." Ai Xiaohai said with a smile: "When the time comes, everything in my hand will be auctioned by you, and it will be difficult for me to meet you." ”
Swinton laughed out loud.
The auction, which was again conducted anonymously, included a necklace encrusted with jewels and a crown made of pure gold from the Inca Empire, also set with a large number of precious stones. According to Swinton's estimates, the crown is worth at least more than $3 million.
"You know, an acquaintance of yours is here too." Swinton suddenly said, "Deng Xiusheng." ”
Oh? Deng Xiusheng is also here? Ai Xiaohai thought of this with some satisfaction.
Since his son Deng Chenglong was sentenced to life imprisonment, Deng Xiusheng has been living in seclusion, and many things have been handed over to his subordinates to deal with, and he never even shows up on some important occasions, how can he be interested in running to the auction this time?
"I have some inside information." Swinton said mysteriously, "Ai, I think we are going to work together for a long time in the future, so I might as well tell you some things that I know." The large-scale entry of MG Group has had a great impact on Tianzi Group, especially the automotive steel enterprises built by Deng Xiusheng with huge investment, which are difficult to survive in the market under the huge advantages of MG Group. Therefore, he must find a new partner to counter the threat posed to him by the MG Group......"
He paused there and continued: "There are many powerful enterprises in the world, and coincidentally, some financial predators are very interested in cultural relics, which they regard as the most valuable investment. For example, Mike of Storfing. Jalanson. ”
"Who is this?" Ai Xiaohai asked curiously.
"An American Dane, he has a nickname, crocodile." Swinton's face became a little more serious: "This nickname is very vivid for him, and for his opponent, this Mr. Jaranson has never been merciful, and he is willing to eat all the bones of the other party." I don't know how Deng Xiusheng found Jalanson, but I can be pretty sure that they have established an initial relationship. You know, there's a lot of information in my auction house......"
Ai Xiaohai nodded slightly: "And then?" ”
"Garranson's obsession with the artefacts of various nations is in no way inferior to that of either Vincent or Rucais." Swinton's finger pointed at the table: "After the announcement of our auction information this time, Jalanson entrusted Deng Xiusheng as his plenipotentiary to bid for the Inca crown as much as possible. I guess you don't want to see that, do you? ”
Ai Xiaohai's brows furrowed. After a while, he suddenly asked, "Why?" ”
"Why?"
"Yes, why can't I let Deng Xiusheng win the bid?" Ai Xiaohai smiled: "Of course, he has to pay some price." ”
Swinton was stunned for a moment, and then laughed meaningfully: "Ai, from the perspective of short-term benefits, you must have earned it, but have you thought about it?" If Deng Xiusheng helped Jia Lansen do this, it would strengthen their friendship, and as far as I know. There are some irreconcilable contradictions between Deng Xiusheng and you. ”
"You mean he's going to be a threat to me?" Ai Xiaohai didn't seem to care at all: "Roy." I don't know how to do business, but I believe in a word, in the business field, everything is based on profits, if Deng Xiusheng can bring actual benefits to that Jalanson. The success of an artifact's auction has little to no effect. Do you think that the crown was successfully auctioned by Deng Xiusheng. Will Jia Lansen choose Deng Xiusheng as a partner without hesitation? Or vice versa. Even if it doesn't work out, if Jalanson thinks that the Xinan market is a huge attraction for him, in order to compete with the MG Group. He will not hesitate to choose Deng Xiusheng's. Instead of that, why don't I just focus on the immediate gain? ”
Swinton narrowed his eyes and looked at Ai Xiaohai: "Ai, you always keep saying that you don't know how to do business, but what you said just now, I clearly felt something." ”
"It's not that he doesn't know how to do business, he's lazy." Swift laughed and said, "He left everything to someone else, and then he just sat back and enjoyed his accomplishments." Mr. Swinton, have you ever seen anyone smarter than him? ”
Swinton laughed out loud: "Yes, smart people always choose the smartest way to do something. Now that you've decided, I don't know anything. Aha, as long as my auction house can make a profit. Ai, the auction will start soon. ”
When she walked out of the office, Yuyan said: "Ai Xiaohai, Deng Xiusheng hates you now, have you thought about what to do in the future?" ”
"Nope." Ai Xiaohai said frankly: "I don't like to make plans, planning a hundred and eleven plans, and they will be broken by emergencies at any time. I like to take it one step at a time and look at it one step at a time. Well, you could say I'm an unambitious guy. For example, this time, Yuan Lao told me that the value of the Inca crown can exceed 3 million, but it will not be higher than 4.5 million to 5 million, which is already the limit, and it may not be able to auction for such a high price, unless some preparation has been made in advance. But what Swinton told me just now made me see an opportunity to make a big profit. ”
Swift stared at Ai Xiaohai, she had some doubts in her heart, did Ai Xiaohai really not have any plans? Or was he already thinking about what he was going to do?
She knows Ai Xiaohai too well, he is casual and likes to be unrestrained, but once he decides to do something, no one can stop him.
"As for Deng Xiusheng?" Ai Xiaohai smiled: "Not long ago, when I was in New York, someone told me something, if I have enemies, then trample them under my feet and listen to their wailing. Remorse? Remorse is something that only older people do. When I was old, I sat alone in the sunset and told my grandchildren, 'I did so hard back then, I should have let them go, and now I don't have a good conscience.'" But I had to have the capital to say it, because there was no one to challenge me anymore. ”
Swift was stunned, and she looked at him as if she had never known Ai Xiaohai before.
Did these words really come out of Ai Xiaohai's mouth? Ai Xiaohai in her impression should not be like this. There is no need to guess, she also knows that it must have been when Yuan Xiye said these words to him when he was in New York, and Yuan Xiye had a great influence on him.
But is it really good to do that? Swift wasn't very sure......
They walked into the auction hall, and Ai Xiaohai saw Deng Xiusheng in the crowd. At this time, Deng Xiusheng seemed to have forgotten about his son, and was talking and laughing with some people he knew. When he turned his head and saw Ai Xiaohai, he actually smiled and nodded at Ai Xiaohai, then turned around and continued to chat with his friends.
"Did you see that, he smiled at me." Ai Xiaohai was also laughing: "But if it is not illegal to kill someone, he will kill me without hesitation now." Do you know why he smiled at me? Because he wanted me to let my guard down, to make me think that he had given up his hatred, and then to give me a fatal stab before I knew it. ”
Yuyan was silent, he knew that what Ai Xiaohai said was right. Ai Xiaohai is undergoing some very important changes, and when this change occurs, no one can find out at the first time, but Ai Xiaohai has really changed.
Since his mysterious disappearance and mysterious return.
He's still laughing, laughing every day, but laughing always makes people feel a little scared.
"Xiaohai!" At this time, Deng Xiusheng actually came to Ai Xiaohai, and the title was so affectionate: "Xiaohai, is Mengmeng okay now?" ”
"It's okay, it's good." Ai Xiaohai replied with a smile.
Deng Xiusheng sighed: "Hey, sometimes I regret doing so many things in the past, but now retribution has come." It's a shame to think about, but if you think about it, it's not necessarily a bad thing. My son, let him reflect on his sins in prison. ”
He said it very sincerely, very, very sincerely.
Ai Xiaohai also behaved more sincerely: "Mr. Deng, I hope Deng Chenglong can really be a man again!" (To be continued......)
