Another five years, from entering the Hundred Changing Star Monarch at the age of twenty-three to coming back from a Chinese Ghost Story, ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and Xue Chen at this time has unconsciously entered the age of thirty, and from the appearance, it is very different from himself ten years ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
In the eyes of those who know Xue Chen well, he should still be a young man in his prime, and this is what Xue Chen is most worried about, waiting for the next time he returns from the movie world, is he already forty years old?
Eternal life?
Forever young?
This is all unavoidable things, and Xue Chen only sighed slightly and left the rented house.
Xue Chen, who returned to the world again, did not bring back those modern weapons, and at this time, he only took away some convenient technological products and diamonds and gold from the rented house, and the rest of his clothes were not moved.
He had to change his environment, to a place where no one knew him, and he didn't want to be a topic of conversation and laughter because of the change in his appearance.
Before leaving, Xue Chen still called the enthusiastic landlord and aunt, and left an extra 5,000 yuan, which is also the most money Xue Chen can take out at present, in order to thank her for taking care of her.
After leaving Kyoto, Xue Chen headed south into the cosmopolitan city of Xingang, where he would start a new life.
Guardian Auction House is the largest auction house in Xingang, and its main auction items are mainly antiques, calligraphy and paintings, or real estate, etc., and in recent years, it has also involved jewelry, luxury goods, etc., but because of the relationship between the supply of goods, there has not been much improvement.
Today, Liao Xinhui, president of Guardian Auction House, entered the office as usual, and then reviewed the progress of the company's various departments in recent times, as well as the satisfaction and feedback survey records of customers.
Suddenly, an urgent phone call rang on his desk.
"Mr. Liao, someone wants to auction diamonds." The voice on the other end of the phone was hurried, his tone trembling, and he seemed very excited.
"Diamonds? You can go and receive it, and this kind of trivial matter will bother me. Liao Xinhui frowned and said, the diamond business is almost every day, and there is a department specializing in diamond auction research within the company, and he is also familiar with this voice, which is Liu Weixin, the head of the marketing department.
"No, Mr. Liao, it's a diamond worth hundreds of millions of dollars." Liu Weixin tried to lower his voice and said.
"Hundreds of millions of dollars? Then you tell my brother to take a look, and that's how I hang up. ”
"Brother is next to me now, the way of the diamond doesn't seem to be very formal, and he can't be the master, so I want you to make a decision." Liu Weixin said.
Hearing Liu Weixin's words, Liao Xinhui also knew the difficulties of the two of them, and he didn't say anything, and after hanging up the phone, he went straight to the office of the marketing department.
At this time, there were only Liu Weixin and Zhao Adi in the office, and Liao Xinhui asked, "What about the person who wants to sell diamonds?" ”
"I've got him in the conference room." Liu Weixin said.
"Tell me what the diamond is." Liao Xinhui was not in a hurry to meet the man, but sat down and listened to Liu Weixin and Zhao Adi talk about the situation of diamonds.
"There are three diamonds, two pink diamonds, and one blue diamond, weighing 15.6 grams, 15.9 grams, and 23.8 grams, with a total valuation of $150 million, and judging from the color and shape of the diamonds, they are not well-known precious diamonds in the jewelry world, but should be a new variety." Liu Weixin said excitedly that there are not many well-known giant colored diamonds in the world, and if Guardian Auction House can successfully auction three, then the international popularity will definitely increase.
"Since it's a new variety, it shouldn't be a problem for us to deal with it a little bit in terms of provenance, but I want to know who can sell the three colored diamonds." Liao Xinhui said and turned around and walked towards the conference room.
The young people in the conference room are naturally Xue Chen, but the so-called youth is relative to Liao Xinhui and other people in their fifties.
The first thing Xue Chen did after entering Xingang was to find a suitable auction house to sell the diamonds in his hand, the last time he returned from the world of the Hundred Changing Star Monarch, Xue Chen had no power to protect himself, so he had to temporarily store it in the rental room, and now Xue Chen, who has cultivated the orthodox mental method of the Dharma Weapon Sect from the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, although his cultivation is only in the Shangyuan period of the Qingyuan Realm, it is not a big problem to deal with ordinary people.
Looking at the staff of Guardian Auction House who re-entered the venue, there was a new face, and Xue Chen understood that the person in front of him was Liao Xinhui, the actual person in charge of Guardian Auction House.
And Liao Xinhui didn't expect that the person auctioning the diamond was really so young, about thirty years old, wearing a well-fitting suit, and all over his body revealed that the superior was powerful.
"The person in front of you can't afford to mess with it." This was the first thought in Liao Xinhui's heart, and he was also very strange that he would have such a thought, but the young man opposite obviously didn't like such an awkward silence.
"If you can't auction three diamonds at Guardian, then I'm sorry, I'll give it to an American or Swiss auction house to deal with." Xue Chen got up and said calmly.
"Mr. Xue, our Guardian Auction House is the largest auction house in Xingang and the fifth largest auction house in the world, and we have customers all over the world, and we believe that your three diamonds will definitely be auctioned at a satisfactory price in our auction house." Liao Xinhui said embarrassedly, Liao Xinhui was very unhappy when he was suppressed by a young man, but the other party was a customer and his food and clothing parents, so he endured it.
"In that case, let's start signing the contract." Xue Chen didn't talk nonsense, he knew the process of the auction house, because these three diamonds were all purchased by Xue Chen from the Hundred Changing Star Monarch World, and there were eight other diamonds in his pocket.
"Okay, please." After Liu Weixin saw Liao Xinhui nodding, he immediately walked out of the conference room to prepare the contract, while Liao Xinhui sat down to chat with Xue Chen, the two were not familiar with each other, and the content of the chat was naturally boring.
Soon the contract was drafted, Xue Chen frowned slightly at the all-English contract, of course he could understand the all-English contract, but the behavior of the Guardian Auction House was obviously discriminatory, Xue Chen didn't want to do much, so he hurriedly browsed it, and signed his name after confirming that there was no problem.
"According to the contract, you valued my three diamonds at $150 million, and I have the right to withdraw 50 percent of the advance payment before the auction proceeds, so I want to withdraw $30 million in cash now, I don't know if there is a problem." Xue Chen said.
"Absolutely." Liao Xinhui was also surprised that Xue Chen was able to understand the contract in English, you must know that the contract and the general communication English are two different concepts, and he secretly prepared an extra contract in traditional Chinese, which Cheng Cheng didn't need to use.
After getting the advance of 30 million US dollars, Xue Chen's first step was to buy a house in a place where the aura was relatively strong, but the aura of modern society was even worse than that of the end of the law era, through the mental induction, there is an island a thousand kilometers south of Xingang, where the aura is relatively strong, but it is surrounded by the sea on all sides, deserted, and because of the geographical location, this island is not available for sale, but it is allowed to build houses on it, but the investment is relatively large.
Xue Chen had no concept of money, he found the top construction company in the United States, spent a total of 30 million US dollars, built a mansion, and purchased a yacht worth 70 million yuan to and from Xingang.
However, none of this can be completed overnight, and Xue Chen, who has just returned to the world for a month, will start a new journey.
