Chapter 29: The Huafu Auction Begins

Serious business, call the manager of his logistics and warehousing company in Monrovia, tell him to arrange for someone to pick up the goods at that time, and then park the ship in a secluded place a little far away from the port, don't worry about the rest, don't keep people on the ship, someone will naturally pick up the goods at that time.

Putting on bodyguards, the three of them set off for Liberia, Africa. After waiting for two days, the manager said that the ship had received it, and it had been done according to Guo Yu's instructions, and it stopped at a corner of a secluded harbor.

At night, Guo Yu didn't call anyone, he walked out, took a taxi to the dock, rented a speedboat, and sailed to the location of the moored freighter.

It's a piece of cake to install these giant wheels in your own space, and after a few shakes of your hands, these huge guys are gone.

He sent the rented speedboat back and returned to Hong Kong with the people the next day.

Departure, go to 1915.

When he came to the manor, he called the two pillars of the big pillar, and brought 200 escorts and 500 members of the Huafu Association who had initially learned the operation of the ship, these members were carefully selected, and Guo Yu hoped that they would all grow up and be of greater use in the future.

Depart from the port of Los Angeles. I rented a boat in the harbor and asked the others to wait, and set off for the sea with the two pillars of the big pillar.

Seeing that it had sailed out of nearly thirty or forty nautical miles, Guo Yu asked Dazhu Erzhu to grasp the hull of the ship and released the big freighter himself.

The sudden appearance of the freighter squeezed the seawater, making their boats shake violently, fortunately Guo Yu ordered in advance, otherwise the second pillar of the big pillar would definitely fall into the sea.

After Guo Yu released four freighters, he returned to the port, looked for a ship to put on a guard, and set off on a large freighter together, Guo Yu didn't expect them to be able to move now, just let them watch the ship, and gradually familiarize themselves with the operation of these freighters, after all, these ships come from later generations, and many things are much more advanced than the current ships, take the communication equipment as an example, the current British and American main warships do not have this thing, but the old appearance of the freighter can hide his advanced.

These people are temporarily on the largest boat, Guo Yu took out the projector and image equipment in the space, and put the modern ship driving technology and operation method teaching CD prepared in advance into the camera player.

Guo Yu stood on the high platform, looked at everyone and said: "I brought these ships, more advanced than all the current freighters, you are Huafu members, is my most trusted person, you will be given a sacred mission, here, I will hand over to all of you to use these ships and operate the methods of the ship's instruments, these methods are in this machine, when the time comes, everyone will learn seriously, I hope that each of you will become a captain, lead the fleet for me, and sail the sea." ”

"In the future, you will eat and live here, your task is to learn, after learning for a period of time, you can practice operating them, we will have more ships in the future, and Huafu will be proud of you."

Guo Yu's words said that these students were full of blood, and shouted in unison, "Swear allegiance to the head of the association." And the guards also shouted, "Defend the leader of the guild to the death." ”

These members are led by the captain, squad leader, and deputy squad leader, and when they arrive on the ship, they naturally become the captain, deputy and second officer, and each person enters a different role according to different disciplines.

Guo Yu turned on the power supply on the ship and told a captain how to operate, and there was nothing for him.

Things were going according to plan, and I couldn't remember in a hurry, so Guo Yu returned to modern times directly from the ship.

It's already April, and the auction is about to start, this is the first large-scale auction of Huafu Auction House, and Guo Yu must participate.

Guo Yu specially invited Huang Wenjing to participate this time, and he was able to make money by picking up girls. The venue can accommodate more than 200 people, Guo Yu took the well-dressed Huang Wenjing to his seat, and the two were talking quietly, and at this time, many rich and famous people who were invited also entered.

The opening auctioneer said: "This auction is the first time that Huafu Auction has held such a large-scale auction, thank you for coming, I hope you can buy your favorite artworks, the auction starts now." ”

"The first lot is a Tibetan Buddhist Manjushri Bodhisattva gold body holding a sword statue, gilt painted throughout, with inscriptions, and the base has the seal of the Qing Dynasty Imperial Palace, which belongs to the royal treasures of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty."

"At that time, the Qianlong Emperor regarded himself as Manjushri, and the appearance of this lot is somewhat different from that of other Manjushri head statues, and it is likely that the Qianlong Emperor cast it in his own appearance, and there are also such records."

And what has definite evidence is that all such Buddha statues from the royal family were consecrated by the great monks of the time. I think you will understand the significance of this kind of item. ”

"Okay, the starting price of this lot is 10 million Hong Kong dollars."

Tibetan Buddhism is widely popular in Hong Kong, many wealthy people are home monks, and this thing is likely to be a consecrated Buddha statue, which is a rare treasure-level antique in Hong Kong and even Southeast Asia and other regions, it is a thing that can be used to town, pray for blessings, and bring auspiciousness, unlike other items just a plaything.

And in the past few years, it has also been a Buddha statue craze, and the seated statue of Sakyamuni, which was the highest auction price last year, was sold for more than 200 million, which is staggering.

So the atmosphere at the scene was very high, people wanted to hold their strength, kept raising signs, the price was high, Guo Yu's mood became more and more excited, he accidentally held Huang Wenjing's little hand, Huang Wenjing struggled a few times and didn't break free, and then stopped moving.

I was so excited that I accidentally held it, God knows. Do you believe it?

However, Guo Yu didn't have to move an inch, and after holding it for a few minutes, he took the initiative to let go, and secretly looked at Huang Wenjing's face, which was a little red, but his face was quite calm.

Good start, good sign.

Indeed, the auction is off to a good start and has a good omen. In the end, this Buddha statue was sold for a high price of 186 million, which is really all the way.

The things selected by Zhang Chong this time are all aimed at the more popular and popular antiques in the current market, and naturally there is no unsuccessful auction, and finally it ended with a blue and white porcelain bowl, with an auction price of 56 million Hong Kong dollars.

Seeing this, Guo Yu was a little stunned, why is this not the most expensive in the end, Zhang Chong is not around, wait and ask him, how is this a trick to play.

When the VIP ended, Guo Yu took Huang Wenjing to find Zhang Chong, Zhang Chong was still busy sorting out the follow-up work of the auction, and he couldn't stop, and when he saw Guo Yulai, he just said hello and went to work again, and finally had to catch the auctioneer and ask about the situation.

The auctioneer said: "This is our strategy set before, it is not a mistake, this kind of flashback auction method also has a precedent, because the publicity is in place, many people are actually for this Buddha statue, we first auction him, people are full of momentum, naturally a high price, and people who have not been auctioned naturally want to buy some other antiques, after all, our things are very good, they have several alternative purchases." ”

Guo Yu couldn't catch Zhang Chong, so he was about to take Huang Wenjing to dinner, and the two walked out of Sheraton.
