Chapter 151: A Worldwide Auction

Wang Chao's eyes rolled, "Hey, Lao Suo, don't Uncle Suo, hehe, let's put the gun back on him, and then you find an excuse to fire him and fire him."

Suo Wencheng's eyes lit up, this is indeed a way that is not a way, out of sight and out of mind, just dismiss him, "Okay, that's it, you put him back quickly, be careful not to mess up his order." No, what did you just call me? ”

"Ah, no, it's not called" After speaking, Wang Chao quickly turned around and walked out, why did he just call out "Lao Suo".

Came to Fury's cabinet, put the gun back in its place, and locked it again.

Then like a detective, he looked at the positions of other people around, and under the perspective, he found scattered condoms in the corners of several cabinets, and then looked at the seats, it turned out to be a lady's, not only secretly admired the openness of this Mi woman, this thing will definitely not be used with her husband or boyfriend, because there are no husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend employees in the company, it is estimated that it is...

Secretly sympathetic for a moment, and then looked into another office.

This office is next to Suo Wencheng's office, the room is very small, there is only one desk, and when he looked at the table in the room, he found that this was Du Nanxing's desk.

I don't know what personal belongings this kid has, could it be that he also has a set, Wang Chao thought to himself, and continued to look into Du Nanxing's cabinet, hey, there is a photo here, or is it sandwiched in a book

Look at it carefully and look at "ah", Wang Chao was shocked, it turned out to be a photo of Xinyu, rubbed his eyes energetically, and looked through the past again, it was indeed a photo of Xinyu, but it should not be recent, the person in the photo is very immature and young, far from being dignified and generous now.

Only then did I remember what Xinyu said yesterday, "This kid still hides a photo of my daughter-in-law." That's not going to work, I'm going to have to get him to figure it out and get him to give me back the picture."

made up his mind, and did not continue to look through other people's cabinets, and came to Suo Wencheng's office stupidly.

After the incident with the gun just now, Lao Suo didn't have the heart to deal with the company's affairs anymore, and he was sitting on the sofa at this time, not knowing what to think.

"Uncle Suo, let's go if we're not busy" Wang Chao threw the key on Suo Wencheng's table, and woke Suo Wencheng up with a "dang long" sound.

"Okay, let's go"

Put the keys away. Turning off the computer, the two of them came out and walked a few steps along the road, and there was a fast food restaurant next to them, and they ate something indiscriminately in it.

Came out and took a taxi directly back to the hotel.

At noon the next day, the three of them flew directly to Los Angeles together, and because of the tight time, they couldn't find an excuse to fire that Fury, and when they came back, they could only hope that something would happen.

New York is the largest city in the United States. Located on the east coast of the country, it has a population of more than 20 million and is home to the famous Statue of Liberty.

For Wang Chao, this is also his first time here. So I got off the plane and looked around on the way to the hotel, which was full of skyscrapers and where most of the headquarters of some of the companies that were familiar on TV and the Internet were located.

It was already evening when they arrived at the booked Hilton Hotel, and the three of them were a little sparse and came out to dine together. Lao Suo was a little tired and went back to the room to rest after eating, while Wang Chao and Du Nanxing were not in a hurry, watching the street scene while eating.

"Mr. Wang is coming to New York for the first time. When the auction is over, let's take a look around here, it's arguably the busiest city in the world, I think it's more than Tokyo and Singapore, and I haven't been to the mainland, but I don't think there's a city in the mainland that is so modern."

"Hehe, then I still suggest that you go to the mainland to go around more, not to mention anything else, Huangpu City in the mainland alone has a population of more than 30 million."

"Huh, so big? It's bigger than Singapore, it's incredible, then I'm really a frog at the bottom of a well."

Wang Chao saw that he was not so arrogant, so naturally his impression of him gradually changed.

After the two finished eating, it was still early, Du Nanxing volunteered to accompany him to go around, Wang Chao readily agreed, and the two took a taxi straight to New York's iconic place - Times Square, which is commonly known as Times Square, which was once named after The New York Times, although the newspaper office has now moved, but the name has remained.

It is also affectionately known as the crossroads of the world, with more than 50 opera houses and shopping malls, it is a bustling entertainment and shopping center, where you can buy almost all the luxury goods and ordinary goods in the world, and you can also enjoy the top advertisements and colorful electronic screens in the world, which makes people forget to leave.

The two big men strolled here, and although it was a little nondescript, it was not enough to attract people's attention.

The two of them found a café here and went in, drinking coffee while enjoying the night view of Times Square, at this time it was just eight o'clock in the evening, the street was crowded, especially the frequent appearance of beauties on the street, which was much higher than other places, which made Wang Chao breathtaking.

"Mr. Wang, why don't we go to a nightclub?"

"Nightclub?" Wang Chao was stunned for a moment, "Hehe, I don't go, I don't like the environment and air there, not to mention sitting here, there are music, beauties, and coffee drinking, which is no different from a nightclub."

"Hahaha, I'm afraid of being known by my girlfriend."

Wang Chao smiled, noncommittal,

"Mr. Wang is young and golden, there must be a lot of beauties chasing you around."

"Hehe, generally, one is enough, too many are troublesome. By the way, when I have time, I'll bring my girlfriend to meet you."

"Okay, I don't know what kind of line your girlfriend does."

"She," Wang Chao looked outside and said leisurely, "She is Lao Suo's goddaughter Wang Xinyu, and now she is mainly responsible for the jewelry business in Yanjing."

"Ah, is it Miss Xinyu? Such a coincidence? ”

"Oh, Mr. Du, do you know her?"

"Acquaintance, not acquaintance, just seen, she once stayed in the company here in the United States for a period of time, and she was a colleague. How long have you known each other? ”

"Well, it's been almost two years, and we're going to get married next year, so if you have the opportunity to go to the mainland, you must go to participate."

"Well, what a ......" After speaking, his expression was a little gloomy, and he stopped talking, staring at the neon lights outside, stunned.

Glancing at him with his eyes, Wang Chao didn't speak, but his heart felt like a stone fell to the ground: How good this is, let's make it clear. Don't beat my daughter-in-law in the future, or I'll let you walk around without food.

Maybe it was because he was in a bad mood, and after sitting for a while, Du Nanxing took the initiative to say that he was a little tired and was about to go back to the hotel, Wang Chao nodded and agreed, and the two took a taxi back to the hotel together.

The next morning, when the three of them had breakfast, they found that the Dunant Star smoke rings were a little black, and it was estimated that they hadn't slept well all night last night.

After breakfast, the three of them put on their formal attire. Put on your tie and go straight to the auction, in a small theater on Manhattan called Lincoln

There are several security guards at the entrance of the theater to greet guests at the door, mainly to check the invitations of the guests, if not, you can't go in.

There was no limit to the number of people in the invitation, so the three of them walked in easily, and there were some people sitting in the small theater inside, most of whom were white. There are only a few Asians, and it can be seen from the speech and demeanor of those people that most of them are Japanese.

Finding a place near the front desk and sitting down, Suo Wencheng went to greet his friends first. Naturally, Du Nanxing also followed, this is considered a company behavior, and Wang Chao sat there bored and looked around.

Suddenly, I felt someone coming towards me behind me, and I turned around pretending not to mind.

"Ah, sure enough, it's Mr. Wang, I'm glad to be there. I'm Hansen, remember me, we met at Mr. Kong last year"

Wang Chao remembered that this was the rice native Hansen who sold the famous painting of "The Merchant Who Sold Children", but he didn't expect to see him here again today, "Mr. Hansen has not seen him for a long time" said and shook hands tightly with the other party

"Mr. Wang, are you also participating in the auction this time?"

"yes, come and see the auction and see what you like"

The two of them said without pain, Wang Chao is actually wary of this Hansen, after all, the painting he took out at the beginning was not the right way, although he himself said that he did not get it personally, but it was also commissioned by a friend, it can be seen that if he is not lying or there is someone behind him, this kind of person is still good to stay away

"Okay, there are a lot of lots today, may your wishes come true" It didn't take long for Hansen to see that Wang Chao was looking at everything he was looking at, so he no longer accompanied him, but invited him to have a light meal together at noon, after all, the two of them were also "old acquaintances" who had met

As soon as he was sent away, suddenly someone on the left side of him said to him, "It's Mr. Wang, what a coincidence" Someone stretched out his hand, and Wang Chao hurriedly held his hand.

It looks a little familiar, but I forgot who the other party is, and he is also a Westerner, "Mr. Wang, you don't remember me, I'm George, from England"

"Oh, I remember" It turns out that this person also met when you used to communicate at Kong Weber's house, and spent 64.5 million US dollars to buy Wang Chao's second piece of jadeite raw material, but I didn't expect to see him again here.

Seeing Wang Chao, George was very happy, took the initiative to sit next to Wang Chao, and chatted.

I didn't expect to meet two acquaintances as soon as I came here, and it seems that my character has exploded.

The theater was getting more and more crowded, and the seats in the auditorium were gradually filled.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the auction officially began, an English white-headed gentleman is today's auctioneer, because everyone is from different countries, so the auction also prepared simultaneous translation, including Chinese translation, which made Wang Chao secretly admired, worthy of an international auction company, thinking is thoughtful.

The first lot is a painting from England, showing a group of soldiers surrounding a fallen commander, a distinct 19th-century England painting.

"Look, this is from the famous English painter West's "The Death of General Wolfe", this painting is his most representative work, although some countries are very disgusted by this kind of colonial predatory painting, but it is undeniable that this is indeed a famous oil painting"

He paused to attract attention, "Look, this painting has a strong sense of three-dimensionality, including clothing, weather, facial expressions and other details are very delicately depicted, and it is also a representative painting of 19th century England. The painting has a starting price of $500,000 and a minimum of $10,000 each time."

After 20 rounds of placards, they were finally photographed by a Japanese Chinese for $850,000.

As the first lot at the opening, this auction is not very well-known, but the transaction premium is more than 60%, which can be regarded as a low opening and a high departure.

The second lot is a sword, which is about 2 meters long and has a long hilt with gold wires entwined around it; The blade was longer, more than one and a half meters, and the white-headed auctioneer said, "Look, this sword was given by the Emperor to Wilson, a Scottish general, during the war between England and Scotland in the seventeenth century, and has been treasured by his family for more than three hundred years. Please see that the meaning of this sword may be greater than the actual meaning of use, so there is no gap in the sword, otherwise a sword that has passed through the war cannot have such a complete edge, but even so, this sword is said to have cut off the head of the Scottish emperor at that time, so it can be regarded as a blood-stained sword. The starting bid is $1 million, with a minimum price increase of $50,000 each time. By the way, I need to make it clear that the starting price of this sword is indeed a bit high, but the Welsh family said that if it fails, they will continue to collect it themselves, as an honor for the whole family and not just a collection."

Collecting swords is different from jewelry, calligraphy and painting, etc., belongs to the category of niche collections, and most of the people who can participate in the auction are professional and specialized collection institutions or individual enthusiasts, so this time it was announced, not many people actually participated in the bidding, and after more than a dozen rounds of price increases, it was finally auctioned by a hobbyist from California for $1.8 million.

……

After rounds of bidding, more than a dozen lots were auctioned, most of which were collected from all over the world, and only one was from China, which was a Qing Dynasty prime minister's pearl, although it was not very valuable, but it was also auctioned for $3 million, and was finally auctioned by a Japanese national.

At 11:30, the morning auction ended, and the afternoon auction began at 3 pm, and people walked out.

"Mr. Wang, what didn't you do this morning?" asked George as the crowd looked out,

"Hehe, Mr. George, you may not know very well, I am mainly engaged in jewelry, so in addition to jewelry, I have little other aspects, this time I came mainly to see the situation of the auction market in the world, it seems that this trip is worthwhile."

Walking to the door, George invited him to have lunch together, Wang Chao asked Lao Suo, he said that there was no arrangement at noon, and asked him to arrange it himself, so he agreed.

George took Wang Chao to his Infiniti sports car, and then left the auction site in a puff of smoke.

At 2:50 in the afternoon, the two returned to the venue, and the relationship between the two was obviously closer. (To be continued......)
