"Buying a house again? Don't spend money. Mom hurriedly said to Gao Yang.

"Mom, don't worry, my business is very good, I have made a lot of money, of course I have to honor the second elder." Gao Yang smiled and stretched out his chopsticks to pick up vegetables for his parents.

"Why don't you go back to the Northern Capital, don't we have a house in the Northern Capital? Your mother and I can't speak Cantonese. Dad asked, sitting on the side.

Gao Yang quickly eliminated the food in his mouth and said, "Dad, the air over there in the northern capital is not good, so I don't worry about letting you live there for a long time." The environment in Hong Kong is much better, and now there are very few people in Hong Kong who can't speak Mandarin, so you can rest assured. In addition, the focus of my company's work will shift to Asia recently, so I can see that I will accompany you often in the future. Come back here when you want to go on vacation, and go to the northern capital if you want to meet your relatives. ”

"How much time do you have in the future? The company is not busy? Mom hurriedly asked.

"Well, now the company's business is on the right track, and all things are handled by professional people, I just need to grasp the direction. You don't have to worry, just live happily. Gao Yang got up and served soup to his parents.

"Well, then you can do it." Mom and Dad looked at each other and said. For them, whether it is the northern capital or Hong Kong, it is good that they are all yellow-skinned and black-haired around them.

The next morning, Gao Yang returned from 1925 and was about to go to the gym to work out, when Stoke approached Gao Yang with an invitation: "Sir, Sotheby's invites you to the Starry Gems auction in Geneva tonight. Here's an invitation they sent. ”

Gao Yang took the invitation and opened it to see that it was similar to what Stoke said, and the gilded font was still in Chinese. "How do they know I'm rich?" Gao Yang shook the invitation card and asked Stoke with a strange expression.

Stoke had a professional smile on his face, "Sir, Sotheby's is in the business of rich people." If they didn't know about a rich man like you, Sotheby's would have closed its doors a long time ago. "Oh, the jewel." Gao Yang rubbed his brows, remembered Zheng Xiujing's cheerful smile, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said to Stoke with a chuckle, "Well, okay, you go and prepare, I'll take a look at it in the evening." "Yes, sir."

After lunch, Gao Yang accompanied his parents to play three-person mahjong, and the game did not end until more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Mom had a good mahjong addiction, was in a very good mood, and had a smile on her face all afternoon. If it weren't for Gao Yang's going to Geneva at night, my mother wouldn't want to end it.

Gao Yang sat in the back seat of the Mercedes-Benz S400L, and Stoke sat in the front passenger seat, "Sir, let's go?" Gao Yang nodded, and the driver started the car and drove out of the villa, followed by several bodyguards driving another S400L.

It is about 160 km from Bern to Geneva and about 1 hour drive along Lake Neuchâtel and Lake Léman. Gao Yang sat quietly in the back seat and closed his eyes to recuperate, but he was discussing things with the origin in his mind.

"Although you are covering up well in Africa, your actual crude oil production is so much different from what you sold, sooner or later it will be exposed." Origin said.

"I know the way!" Gao Yang was also a little helpless, most of the energy points he obtained now were used to create biochemical warriors. Although a single biochemical warrior does not consume many energy points, it can't hold up a large amount. As Gao Yang had more and more troops under his command in 1925, there was a greater need for biochemical warriors. The army is the biggest reliance that Gao Yang must hold in his hands, and the biochemical warriors are Gao Yang's hands that control the army!

"Any good suggestions?" Gao Yang, who couldn't think of any good solution, had to push the problem to the original point. "There is a way." Origin said. "Huh?" Gao Yang opened his eyes, took out a cigarette and lit it, "Tell me about it." ”

"I've looked up a lot of information about you humans on the Internet, and some of them say that if you want to cover up one thing, it's better to use another thing to attract everyone's attention." Origin said.

"Another thing?" Gao Yang smoked silently, what did he do in the country where the mining area is located to divert everyone's attention? Extinguishing the cigarette butt Gao Yang leaned back on the backrest and closed his eyes, he soon had an idea in his heart, and the origin fell silent.

The car drove very fast, and the time was just after six o'clock and it was already in Geneva. Stoke turned his head and smiled and said, "Sir, I've reserved a place at Edelweiss, would you like to go for dinner now?" "Oh, go ahead." Gao Yang's thoughts were interrupted, and he replied slightly unhappily.

Geneva is the gastronomic capital of Switzerland, with more than 1,100 restaurants throughout the city. One of the best is the Edelweiss restaurant, located on a mountainside on the shores of Lake Léman, and is a chain of Edelweiss restaurants.

When Gao Yang and his party came to the restaurant, there were not many customers. After Stoke came forward to negotiate, the waiter invited Gao Yang to a table on a terrace on the second floor, which is the best place in the whole restaurant, with Lake Léman in front of the terrace and an elegant environment. There is also a Swiss folk music performance, and a pipe several meters long plays melodious music. The attachés all ate at the ordinary table, and only Stoke followed Gao Yang. The waiter quickly brought the meal.

"You can go eat too." Gao Yang whispered to Stoker. After all, he was dozens of years old, and standing beside him and watching him eat, Gao Yang felt very awkward.

Stoke smiled and said, "Sir, I have already eaten before I came." After speaking, he stepped forward and opened the lid of the meal and introduced, "Cheese hot pot, the most famous local specialty." This is the fresh and delicious sea bass fillet of Lake Léman. "Pick up the corkscrew and open a bottle of wine" The local white wine tastes excellent and is known as a good wine in Europe. After holding the wine bottle with a napkin in both hands and pouring a glass for Gao Yang, he put down the wine bottle and stood behind Gao Yang's side, his hands slightly crossed in front of him, Gao Yang shook his head slightly and began to enjoy dinner.

Half an hour later, there were more and more customers in the restaurant, Gao Yang took the napkin handed by Stoker, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said to him with a smile: "I am very satisfied with your work." Stoke gave Gao Yang a professional smile in return.

The bodyguards and the driver hugged Gao Yang and left the restaurant, got in the car and drove directly to the auction venue. Sotheby's has placed the auction at the Opéra Genève on Place Nuova.

When Gao Yang arrived at the opera house, Sotheby's reception manager Jung's eyes lit up when he saw Gao Yang get out of the car, and hurriedly took a few steps forward and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Smith, welcome." ”

Gao Yang looked at the bald man in front of him and smiled slightly and said, "Manager Jung, I haven't seen you for a long time, and your hair loss seems to be getting worse." Jung smiled wryly and turned sideways to invite Gao Yang in. The current Gao Yang is not an insignificant little person who came to sell snuff bottles more than a year ago.

Walking into the theater, Jung led the way in front and accompanied Gao Yang all the way to the VIP box on the second floor, "Mr. Smith, this is your box, if you need anything, please feel free to command." Jung said with a slight bow.

Gao Yang sat on the leather sofa, lit a cigarette and said, "Manager Jung, you still call me Mr. Gao." That name please forget it later! There's nothing you need to do for the time being. ”

Manager Jung handed a red wooden plaque with 182 written on it to Stoker, bowed slightly to Gao Yang and said, "Mr. Gao, I know what I said." Please wait a moment as the auction will start soon. After saying that, he slowly exited the box.

Gao Yang crossed his legs and looked at Stoke and asked, "Isn't it supposed to be where everyone is supposed to sit together?" How do I have a private room? Stoke picked up a delicate ashtray, came to Gao Yang's side, and gently placed it on the coffee table in front of him, and said, "Sir, at Sotheby's auction, all the rich people with a net worth of more than $100 million are in the box. As for the people sitting below, they are nothing more than agents. ”

Gao Yang was slightly startled and said, "How do they know that I am worth more than 100 million?" ”

"That's what Sotheby's does, sir. But they won't intrude into your privacy, they just need to know that you are rich. Stoke picked up the auction book on the side and handed it to Gao Yang, raised the sign in his hand and said, "Sir, do you need me to go down?" Which item do you have your eye on and what is the bottom price in your mind? Please tell me that I will hold up the sign as your agent. ”

Gao Yang opened the auction book and looked at it carefully. There are necklaces, rings, earrings, princess crowns, bracelets, as well as rough materials, etc., and the materials are gemstones of various colors, pearls, agate, crystals of various colors, and diamonds.

The items on the illustrated book were taken beautifully, and each one was accompanied by a starting price, and Gao Yang looked through it and didn't find any with a starting price less than $100,000. "It's a party that only rich people can play." Gao Yang thought silently, snuffed out his cigarette, looked at Stock, who was standing aside with a slight bow, smiled, and said, "You can also bid here, right?" Stoke nodded lightly and said, "Yes, sir, there is a special bidding phone in the box. Gao Yang turned his head slightly and saw a red phone on the counter next to him.

I got up and went to the wine cabinet, picked up a bottle of whiskey, and said, "Don't go down, let's see what I'm talking about." Stoke took the bottle, opened it, poured it into the glass, picked up a few ice cubes from the ice bucket and put them in the glass, and served them to Gao Yang.

It was 8 o'clock in the evening, and through the one-way glass in front of the sofa, Gao Yang could see that the theater seats below were already full, but there was no noise. As the lights dimmed, the host took center stage to give a brief introduction and announced the start of the auction.

A staff member walks up to the center of the stage with a tray. The first lot was a platinum ring set with a 3.01 carat diamond, with a starting bid of $160,000.

The large screen next to the host gave photos of the ring from various angles and various introductions, and the host enthusiastically introduced the diamond ring and then announced the start of bidding. Soon, the following began to raise cards frequently, and the price increased all the way from $160,000 to $230,000, and then no one raised the cards again.

Stoke smiled and said to Gao Yang, "Sir, the front is all appetizers, and the real good things are at the bottom." Gao Yang nodded slightly, took a sip of whiskey, and didn't say anything.

The auction proceeded quickly, with hundreds of lots of all kinds quickly being sold. The starting price has also gradually increased, and the starting price of a natural Burmese ruby has reached $1.07 million, and it was finally sold for $1.83 million by an anonymous phone call.
