After receiving the remittance from Ed and Lin Yi, Xiao Ling came to the Croatian auction house very early, which is a simple rococo-style building that occupies a small area and is a bit old. I thought that there would be a lot of bidders that day, but unexpectedly there were no people, and he almost had to doubt whether the news was accurate.

Fortunately, the door of the auction house opened on time, and Xiao Ling was led in by the hostess and issued a number plate. Looking around, there was only an elderly couple who looked like locals behind them, and a fat Asian in front of them, these two competitors, although the European economic crisis caused the market to be bleak, but this auction was still pitiful with few people, and they were suspicious, but they did not show it, and walked steadily to their positions and sat down.

At the beginning of the auction, the host rang the gavel, each time the price was raised to 100,000 euros, the Asians in front of him quickly raised the card, 8.1 million, the host looked at Xiao Ling and the elderly couple behind him, Xiao Ling then raised the card, 8.2 million, the old man also raised the card 8.3 million, Xiao Ling's pupils shrank, carefully observed the situation on the field, and thought to himself, so little by little, it will form a vicious circle, and the card has become a habitual action, whether it is out of the impulse of competition or real investment needs, it will compete without restrictions.

Xiao Ling participated in many auctions with his parents when he was a child, and many community activities during his time at Columbia University included charity auctions, and he knows that bidders are competing not only for financial resources, but also for psychological quality. The cash in his hand is 12.27 million euros, so it is better to make a surprise and put pressure on the other party to see how the other two parties react.

"Ten million" Xiao Ling raised his card and shouted with full of energy.

The host was taken aback, and then quickly asked, "This gentleman bid 10 million euros, did he increase the price?" ”

The Asian sitting in front of Xiao Ling was the subordinate who talked to Ni Huang on the phone that day, Ni Huang told him that the final transaction price of this wine estate would not exceed 10 million euros, but the young man in the back came up and added it to 10 million, which immediately made him break out in a cold sweat, and the instructions he received were to take this land no matter what, but 10 million has exceeded Ni Huang's expectations, so whether to shoot or not, he can't make up his mind about such a big thing, but at this time obviously there is no time for him to go out and make a call.

"Ten million once," the host said.

The elderly couple at the back had already put down the number plate, and it seemed that they had given up, Xiao Ling focused on the Asian in front of him, carefully observing the other party's every move, and found that the hand holding the number plate was trembling slightly, and sweat was already oozing from his forehead.

"Ten million for the second time," the host said.

There was still silence in the audience, Xiao Ling's heart rose to his throat, but he looked calm on the surface, looking forward to the gavel in the host's hand falling quickly, "Ten million..." The chubby young man gritted his teeth and raised the number plate as if he had made a great determination. "One Thousand and One Hundred Thousand ....."

"Twelve million!" Before the person's voice fell, Xiao Ling happily raised the card again, this time the voice was higher, the stable breath, the high voice, penetrated everyone's eardrums, forming an invisible aura, enveloping everyone present, making others unable to figure out his bottom limit, this feeling of not knowing the bottom limit made people cringe.

Xiao Ling thought to himself, hoping that the sudden increase in the price would make the courage of the person in front of him gather so hard to collapse, squinting his eyes slightly, looking at the slightly chubby figure, it would be difficult for him to increase the price again.

But his worries were unnecessary, and the slightly chubby figure in front of him leaned on his back, took out a handkerchief and began to wipe the sweat from his forehead. More than 10 million has exceeded the original boss's explanation, 1,000,000 is already his own decision, what if the boss asks him to pay for it himself, even if he works for Ni Huang for nothing, it is not enough 2 million euros, this amount is beyond his ability to bear, so he has to watch the gavel fall.

Xiao Ling breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to make a video call to Lin Yi.

With a spoon in one hand and a bowl in the other, Lin Yiyi put his phone on the side and was feeding complementary food to Vivian, who was sitting in the baby high chair.

"Say Hello to Uncle Xiao!" Lin Yi teased Vivian

“….AOO….” Vivian opened her mouth and said as she ate.

From Xiao Ling's mobile phone screen, the picture seen is so beautiful, Xiao Ling unconsciously raised the corners of her mouth, Vivian inherited Zhuoya's beauty, and she is a mixed-race child, compared with the baby in the milk powder advertisement on TV, it is as good as the baby, Lin Yi, who has a loving face, exudes the brilliance that can probably be called motherhood, and smiles lightly at the baby.

"Got it?" Lin Yi asked.

"I'll tell you when I call my brother," Xiao Ling said with a smile.

“…… Yes! I forgot to get a rice pocket for Vivian," Lin quickly ran away, and came back after a while, tied a rice pocket to Vivian, and continued to feed him.

"Lin Yi, you're not as cute as you were in high school now....." Xiao Ling looked at the phone screen with a doting face.

"Uh...... I'm so sorry! Lin Yi's cheeks were slightly red, and he replied with some embarrassment.

Xiao Ling finally saw the satisfactory picture and decided not to tease Lin Yi anymore, "It took 12 million euros." ”

"It's good to be able to shoot it, it takes more money than expected, but it's also bearable" Lin Yi's tone was relaxed, obviously this result was not surprising to him.

"What are you asking me to photograph this manor?"

"Of course, wineries have to produce wine, but it can be more than just producing wine, now the number of Chinese people traveling overseas is increasing every year, you can set up a tourism company, design a route to visit the wine estate, and then open up a villa area on that 222 hectares of land, for tourist accommodation, the government will support it, Croatia's foreign exchange reserves have been empty, absolutely happy to see you build a big project."

After Lin Yi finished speaking, he wiped the porridge stains on Vivian's mouth, and continued, "The company does not need to be registered in Croatia, it can be registered in London or Paris, in addition to this tourist route, you can also design a few more routes for in-depth tours in Europe, the Aegean Sea and the Mediterranean, the English Channel, these places, many people should want to see." ”

Lin Yi said it easily, Xiao Ling only felt that cherry blossoms exploded in his head, and the affairs of Xiao's branch had already made him busy, so there was still time to do this.

"Lin Yi," Xiao Ling wanted to make her voice sound very aggrieved, "Say you miss me..."

Who knows, Lin Yi said to himself as if he hadn't heard this.

"I will graduate in half a month, Xiaoxiang Yaju is almost saturated in the North American market, I will apply with Uncle Xiao to go to Europe to help you, Mickey and Apple will also go to Europe with me, Apple has been impressed by Mickey's perseverance, and recognizes that Taiwan belongs to China....ah! Vivian is stinking again while eating, bye! ”

Xiao Ling saw in the picture that Lin Yi threw away the spoon in his hand, grabbed the little baby in the dining chair and ran, leaving an afterimage and a still background picture.

Xiao Ling looked dazed, and had mixed feelings in his heart, Lin Yi was good at everything, but he said too little sweet words, and rarely coquettishly with himself, the next time they met, they would lock him in the house, let him watch a silly and sweet soap opera for a week, and train him well.

Thinking that Lin would come over in half a month, his heart was light, and he was happier than getting the land, is this a good thing in pairs? Do you want to buy another lottery ticket? Xiao Ling walked happily on the way back to the hotel.

In the luxurious office of Rockefeller Center, Ni Huang's face was extremely invisible, that stupid subordinate actually gave up at the age of 12 million, and the potential value of that winery in the future was more than 12 million.

It's hard to do such a simple thing, it's better to go back to the milk doll, this time you should go to the auction in person, I didn't expect that other Chinese sellers would know about it, his early efforts made a wedding dress for others, and this seller is still Xiao Ling and Ed's two useless fools, it really makes people more and more angry the more they think about it.

Ni Huang stroked the jade Ruyi placed in front of the desk with his left hand, and pestle his face with his right hand, carefully recalling these two enemies who had had a few faces.

Xiao Ling since he went to Rizhang School Park,It's like a sudden enlightenment.,Two years to be admitted to Columbia University.,It only took two years to graduate.,Now it's going to Europe as the director of the branch.,Even if Xiao Ling is enlightened.,But Ed Chengtian Jiuchi Meat Forest.,How can you have that kind of wisdom to pay attention to auction information.,Unless one of them has a plan.。

Ni Huang thought of the rumors he heard when he was in Youmu City, Xiao Ling lived with a man when she was studying in New York, and that person was also the director of North American operations of Xiaoxiang Yaju, Xiaoxiang Yaju has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the current economic situation is grim, but even in such a situation, Xiaoxiang Yaju can continue to expand and become the No. 1 Chinese food brand in North America, so that other peers can only look at it. It can be seen that this director of operations is not simple, I forgot what his name is, but this is easy to inquire.

Xiao Ling and Ed worked together to buy the winery, if this person contributed to it, then he should not be underestimated, his talent is definitely not just as simple as expanding Xiaoxiang Yaju, Xiao Yunshan's old guy will not know, but he still hasn't paid attention to this person, perhaps, he is still struggling with Xiao Ling's affairs, afraid that Xiao Ling will not be able to hold his grandson if he continues to associate with that person. That's just right, it's better to let him dig a corner, wouldn't it solve Xiao Yunshan's worries at that time, and make himself feel like a tiger.

But the most important thing is that person's own wishes, Ni Huang believes that there is no one in this world who can't be beaten by money, only if he doesn't give enough.

hooked up with Xiao Ling, thinking that he was close to a wealthy family, but found that the wealthy family was not so good, Xiao Yunshan would hide his talents, only his own Bole was the place where this thousand-mile horse should go to.

dialed the assistant's extension and asked him to make an appointment to meet with the director of operations of Xiaoxiang Yaju. Soon after, I received a reply from the assistant, saying that the person was not in the company and had taken leave for the past half a month.

"And what's his name?" Ni Huang asked.

The assistant on the other end of the phone was slightly taken aback, and there were not many people who could ask Mr. Ni to inquire about his name and take the initiative to make an appointment.

"His name is Lin Yi." The assistant replied respectfully.

After Ni Huang hung up the phone, he rubbed his eyebrows, he is not a person who gives up so easily, since I can't contact you through official channels, then I have to look for you in private.

dialed the phone number of the private detective who had been in contact with him, "In the shortest possible time, find me Lin Yi's residence." ”
