Chapter 60: Wanfuyuan Auction House
Hong Kong is known as the Pearl of the Orient, and its prosperity is indeed not comparable to ordinary cities, and because it was once a British colony, Hong Kong invisibly reflects a kind of hybrid that a pluralistic city should embody, both economically and culturally.
After leaving Yunyifeng's residence, Ding Yang then directly dialed Han Lei's phone and asked him to drive the car over to pick him up and Sun Lili, he also came to Hong Kong for the second time, but unfortunately, the first time he came to Hong Kong, he didn't even have a good look and left directly, so at this time Hong Kong is still a strange city for Ding Yang.
At this time, if someone leads the way, if Ding Yang wants to reach Wanfuyuan Auction House smoothly, how to walk can only depend on luck. Fortunately, there was a dessert shop that Sun Lili seemed to be very familiar with on the street not far away, and the two happened to be waiting in it.
Sitting in the dessert shop, Ding Yang looked at Sun Lili in front of him with great interest, took a sip of ice drink and couldn't help but sigh: "Are these ice creams really delicious?" I think the current young strong people like to eat these, and they won't have diarrhea if they eat too much, right? You're the third serving, look at the waiter laughing at you. ”
Hearing this, Sun Lili licked the remaining cream on her lips, looked at the waitress at the bar behind her and smiled sweetly, and then looked at Ding Yang with a look of disgust: "What's this, I used to come to this shop a lot, so my big sister won't laugh at me, but you, this guy, don't even like ice cream, and what do you say about a strong man, aren't you a strong man?" There's no vitality at all, I think you're hopeless, it's really hopeless......"
said and imitated Ding Yang's helpless expression when he sighed at himself, which made Ding Yang slightly embarrassed, but Sun Lili's words did say a lot, Ding Yang had a calmness that did not match his age at this time, but he also lacked the vigor and frivolity of young people, but he was often a little old-fashioned when he spoke. This made Sun Lili very disliked.
Ignoring her, Ding Yang drank all the cold drinks in front of him, feeling the crispness from his mouth to his heart, and he asked softly: "Do you know what Yun Yifeng said about Wanfuyuan Auction House just now?" I'm going to go there in a minute, do you want to come with me? ”
"Wanfuyuan Auction House? Come on, Wanfuyuan is the largest auction house in the UK right now, right? I've heard that some of our country's national treasures have been auctioned before, why don't you even know about this? I think you're really a bit of an otter......"
Sun Lili stared at Ding Yang with a touch of disbelief, and then made a slight exaggeration with her mouth, stood up and danced to Ding Yang and said all kinds of history and news of Wanfuyuan. This made Ding Yang a little strange.
After listening to Sun Lili's words, he asked suspiciously: "So that's the case, but why do you know these things very well?" Could it be that you also pay attention to these things a lot? ”
"Yes, Wanfuyuan sometimes auctions off some already very rare jewelry, so I started paying attention to it a long time ago, and I even carry my father's VIP card in Wanfuyuan!"
Sun Lili only cared about burying her head in eliminating the ice cream in front of her, her current physical fitness is no longer comparable to ordinary people, even if the ice cream is cold, it doesn't matter how much she eats.
"Take it with you? That's so convenient! Since Yun Yifeng asked me to go around. Just go around! With Yun Yifeng's personality, he shouldn't just talk about it casually...... He said that there have been good things recently, and I don't think it should be in the eyes of ordinary people. ”
Although Ding Yang didn't know Yun Yifeng, he also knew that he wanted people to help, especially Ding Yang, who was not very involved with Yun Yifeng in the first place, so he naturally had to mention something called remuneration. But Yun Yifeng never said it from beginning to end, and only let Ding Yang go to Wanfuyuan Auction House when he was at the end, which also made him a little suspicious of what Yun Yifeng meant.
listened to Ding Yang's words. Sun Lili also showed a hint of curiosity on her face, raised her head and glanced at it as if she was bored, and seemed to be interested in what Ding Yang said: "I can't see that Yun Yifeng no matter how I look at it." But what kind of Heng Ling I know that the Dao is very powerful, you say that he and Yun Yifeng are more powerful? ”
A little strange glanced at Sun Lili, I really couldn't figure out what Sun Lili actually had some memories of Heng Ling, glanced at a very familiar car slowly stopped outside the door, Ding Yang said casually: "Do you need to ask me about this?" You're so smart yourself, think about it, don't you know the way, okay! The car is coming, let's go. ”
Although it was just a casual sentence, and the words of praise were more perfunctory, Sun Lili still showed a happy smile, looked at Ding Yang and stood up and said, "Hehe...... Let's go, since you go to that auction house, I'll take you to see it, and the VIP card in my hand can get a private room for free, otherwise I'll have to go down there and squeeze with others. ”
When he went out with Sun Lili, he saw Han Lei opening the car door and wanted to walk down, looking up and seeing that it was Ding Yang and Sun Lili, Han Lei was stunned for a moment and hurriedly nodded to Ding Yang: "Hello Mr. Ding, hello Miss!" I've been here since I got your call, and I didn't delay any time, did I? ”
"The timing was just right! In this way, we are going to Wanfuyuan Auction House now, but I don't know if there is an auction in Ludao today, can you find this? Looking at Han Lei, Ding Yang smiled and waved his hand, and then spoke.
First, Ding Yang and Sun Lili were invited to the car, and Han Lei nodded while taking out his mobile phone and said: "Mr. Ding, please rest assured, I will call to ask, Wanfuyuan has been stationed in Hong Kong for many years, and the boss has also participated many times, I still have a phone number in this regard, you wait a little and I will help you ask!" ”
Saying that, Han Lei had already made a phone call, and when the phone was connected, he asked a few words, his face showed a touch of joy, and he turned around: "There is indeed an auction today, most of the things auctioned are antiques from the Song Dynasty, and there is still half an hour to start, if Mr. Ding is interested, it is too late to rush over at this time." ”
"Then go ahead, I'm not familiar with Hong Kong, but everything here is going to trouble you."
Hearing this news, Ding Yang nodded suddenly, although he did not have the slightest interest in the so-called antiques, he was very curious about the good things that Yun Yifeng said.
Han Lei started the car, his face was still very calm, and he said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Although the Wanfu Garden is very large. But I've heard that many of the items in those auctions are from unknown sources, and there are even some fake things, and it wouldn't hurt if Mr. Ding just bought some small things, but if it was a big item, he should find some people to look at it. ”
Sun Lili suddenly laughed without waiting for Ding Yang to speak, and looked at Ding Yang with a quirky smile on her face: "You don't have to worry about this, he is not a rich man, and his taste is very poor. Are you right about Ding Yang? ”
This made Ding Yang really helpless, but when he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh: "What you said is right!" I'm just going to see it for a long time, but I don't have any money to spend on these things, but since I have the opportunity to see them, I don't hurt to see them, maybe there's something good......"
didn't speak, although Han Lei's eyes looked straight at the road ahead, but at this time, a smile inadvertently appeared on his face, he was much older than Ding Yang. From the tone in which Sun Lili and Ding Yang spoke, he clearly felt a touch of joy, and as long as Ding Yang was by his side, Sun Lili's original witch-like temper would improve a lot.
In this way, it was not difficult for him to see that Sun Lili seemed to have some joy in Ding Yang, with a smile on her face, and Han Lei spoke after a while: "By the way, Mr. Ding." It just so happens that the boss has a VIP card from Wanfuyuan Auction House, and it is very convenient for you to go in, but I ...... the VIP card."
It's just that Sun Lili grinned and interrupted Han Lei's words: "Don't worry." That card was already in my bag...... You just drive, I want to see what is good this time, and I haven't been there in a long time. ”
Wan Fook Lou Auction House is now the largest auction venue in Hong Kong. At the same time, it is also affiliated with Wan Fu Lou Auction Company, the largest auction house in Hong Kong and the whole of Asia.
The history of the British Wan Fu Lou Company is also very long, it is said that it was established in the 19th century, and because of this, the company's connections are extremely wide, since Hong Kong just became the British Concession, the auction house has been located here, and it is still second to none after so many years, which also shows that its backstage is also extraordinary.
The car was slowly parked in an underground parking lot far away from the auction house, and then the three of them slowly walked over from it, because Sun Lili had a VIP card in her hand, and the doorman only glanced at it and immediately respectfully welcomed the three of them in.
Walking into the auction house, the heat of the outside world was suddenly stripped away for a limited time, and a cool texture immediately surrounded the sky in all directions, even if Ding Yang was already cold and hot, it was also comfortable at this moment.
His eyes swept over the splendid spacious hall, Ding Yang's eyes immediately lit up, the whole hall was very empty, not to mention, but the whole layout was extraordinarily classical, of course, this kind of classicism is not Chinese-style classical, but a sense of Western preciousness, which has not undergone too much modification, and the erosion of the years can be seen in many places, but the more so, the more it aggravates this kind of atmosphere.
"Hello beautiful lady, I am the auctioneer of the auction house, I wonder if there is anything I can do to help you?"
The three of them just walked in not far away, a handsome blonde young man in a suit walked over very elegantly, and his eyes fell on Sun Lili and suddenly nodded, very politely said, but surprisingly, at this time this young man spoke fluent Chinese, although it still sounded a little jerky, but it was proud enough.
How can the eyesight of the people who can work here be so bad, although Ding Yang's clothes are also famous brands, but compared with Sun Lili's seemingly ordinary clothes, they are actually much worse, and the waiter immediately thought that the three people in front of him must be headed by Sun Lili.
Sun Lili pulled out the VIP card in her hand again and spread it to the young man, and then looked into the passage not far away, only to see that there were still many people talking in the passage at this time, and couldn't help but say: "We are here to participate in the auction, this is our card." There weren't many people this time, so if there were a lot of them, they would take us to a private room. ”
"This time, because there are some unique treasures to be auctioned, there are many collectors who come, according to the level of your VIP card, we can arrange a private room for five people for you, please come with me."
The waiter said politely, and then took Ding Yang and the others into a small private room that was not too big, and then left.
This private room is actually similar to a KTV private room, except that one of the four walls is completely composed of a layer of glass, and through the glass, you can see an empty hall comparable to a large movie theater, and at this time, many people are already sitting in the hall.
At the very front of the hall there was a round table, a round table made entirely of glass, compared to the center of the auction house, and at this time suddenly a man in a suit with a smile on his face suddenly walked on the round platform.
But seeing this man's face, Ding Yang's eyes suddenly widened, staring at the man, his body trembled suddenly, and even his voice trembled a little, and he said in disbelief: "How could it be him?" He's not...... It's not ......" (To be continued......
