At 1 p.m. on January 15, a plane taking off from Ocean City International Airport landed at Singapore's Changi International Airport.

When I came out of the airport, I saw a taxi coming.

Stretching out his hand, the taxi stopped next to it.

"Where are you going, sir?"

The driver lowered the window and asked.

"Shangri-La Hotel." Zheng Jing reported where he was going.

"Okay, come up."

Sitting in the car, the driver glanced at him through the rearview mirror and asked, "Does Mr. live in Shangri-La?"

"yes, what's wrong?"

"I remember that high-end hotels don't always have airport pick-up service? Some curious you will take a taxi. ”

The driver was young and did not look like he was thirty years old.

"Did you see those high-end cars outside the exit, many of those cars were sent by Shangri-La to pick up the airport?"

The driver thought for a moment and asked curiously, "Is this a company holding any event in Shangri-La?"

"It's not clear." Zheng Jing did not say anything about holding the auction.

Hearing that Zheng Jing was reluctant to say more, the driver didn't ask again.

As a taxi driver, he knows what to say and what to ask.

Singapore is very small, it only takes ten minutes from the airport to Shangri-La on Orange Grove Road, which is still in the case of traffic jams.

"Sir, the hotel has arrived."

Hearing the driver's reminder, Zheng Jing looked out the window and found that the car had been parked at the door of the Shangri-La Hotel.

Kevin has been busy these days because of the auction.

In addition to arranging for his subordinates to search for auction items, they also need to find a hall where the auction can be held.

As the first auction in charge of Asia, Kevin can be said to have put a lot of effort into this auction.

In addition to the tycoons of Southeast Asian and South Asian countries, he also contacted the tycoons of Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea.

In order to let the British headquarters see his abilities, Kevin can be said to be hands-on.

In addition, there is another reason, and that is to suppress Sotheby's fame in Asia.

Therefore, after deciding on the location of the auction, Kevin arrived from Malaysia early.

In addition to observing the scene, it is also necessary to discuss security issues with the person in charge of Shangri-La Hotel.

The people who participated in the auction this time were all billionaires, and he had no contact with anyone worth tens of millions, so the issue of security was particularly important.

When the person in charge of the Shangri-La Hotel heard what Kevin said, he immediately paid attention to it.

If what Kevin said is true, and the people who come are billionaires, then this is also a time for Shangri-La Hotel to pull in the relationship and increase the impression.

Therefore, after the person in charge of Shangri-La asked for instructions, the security of the hotel was increased.

In the midst of the busyness, time passes quickly.

With one day left in the auction, Kevin got out of bed early.

In the past, he would do yoga with Secretary Yanma in bed, but he didn't have any idea at all these days.

Early in the morning, Kevin stood at the door of the hotel and waited.

The rich people he contacted this time were all people worth hundreds of millions, and the level of others was not enough, so he could only greet them himself.

Sent in a wealthy rubber man in Indonesia, Kevin saw a taxi parked in front of the hotel.

Kevin's eyes were fixed, he didn't know who was sitting in it.

Zheng Jing got out of the car with his backpack, paid for it, and turned around to see a tall white man looking at him.

Zheng Jing didn't know why, so he looked left and right and found that the white man was indeed looking at him.

Just as he raised his leg and entered, he saw the white man walking towards him with a smile on his face.

Before the man arrived, the words had already been spoken.

"Is it Mr. Zheng?"

Zheng Jing stopped, turned to look, and asked, "I don't know if you are?"

Zheng Jing looked at the white man, making sure he hadn't seen him.

Kevin saw Zheng Jing's somewhat puzzled eyes, and knew what he was thinking.

Hurriedly said: "Hello Mr. Zheng, I am Kevin, the head of Christie's Asia, we just talked on the phone a few days ago, and you still have three items to auction with us."

"Hello Kevin, we don't seem to have met, right? How did you recognize me? Zheng Jing asked curiously.

In addition to meeting Christie's Du Wei and Sun Hongwen, he didn't remember that she took photos.

Kevin was afraid that Zheng Jing would misunderstand, so he took out his mobile phone to open the domestic version of Douyin and found his account.

"I recognized you by watching Mr. Zheng's travel video, and if you don't believe it, I'm still a fan of yours. I've seen all the videos you posted, and I really envy you for traveling around the world. ”

Saying this, Kevin's eyes showed a hint of envy.

He really envied Zheng Jing for being able to travel around the world so freely.

It's a pity that his identity won't make him so free.

Knowing that he recognized him from Douyin, Zheng Jing's face softened.

Seeing Zheng Jing's face recover, Kevin looked at the parking lot outside the hotel and said, "Mr. Zheng, you should be a little tired from doing the plane for so long, we have opened the room for you, you can take the invitation and go to the front desk to check in."

Zheng Jing glanced at the parking lot and knew that someone was coming again, and said, "Okay, you get busy first."

Coming to the hotel lobby, Zheng Jing curiously looked at the decoration of the hall and looked at the rest area on the other side.

There were a lot of people sitting there talking.

Judging from their age and temperament, as well as the security guards on the side, they should also come to Christie's tomorrow's auction.

I didn't expect Christie's to play so big this time.

Zheng Jing suddenly looked forward to what Sotheby's was going to do next.

Come to the front desk, take out the invitation letter and passport, and check in.

He was able to stay for free for two days, and if he did, he would have to pay for it himself.

Hearing the words of the front desk, Zheng Jing couldn't help but guess how much Christie's paid for the room fee.

Since it has spent so much money, it seems that Christie's is very confident in the auction items, otherwise it would not have spent so much money on the price of the house.

Zheng Jing suddenly became a little curious about the auction items, and he wanted to see what the auction items were tomorrow.

Take the elevator to the room, push the door open, good guy, it's still a business suite.

After carefully checking and making sure that there was no problem with the room, Zheng Jing took out a change of clothes from the space with his backpack.

When I came out of the shower, I found a missed call on my phone.

Du Wei

Why did she call him?

I don't know why she called him, but I've already dialed it.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hello Mr. Zheng, are you in the room now?"

"I'm here, what's the matter?" I don't know what to do with him.

"That's the case, Mr. Zheng, I have a booklet of this auction item in my hand, do you want to take a look, if so, I'll send it to you."

Hearing Du Wei's words, Zheng Jing was overjoyed.

Just now he was still thinking about what the auction items were, which actually made Jasic get such a big blood.

Since there is a booklet, it is a good time to take a good look.

"Okay, you can send it,"

Hung up the phone, and after waiting for a long time, Zheng Jing heard the doorbell.

Opening the door, Du Wei, a young woman, was standing in front of the door with a thick booklet.

Seeing Zheng Jing, Du Wei didn't know why she was a little happy in her heart.

With a smile on his face, he said, "Mr. Zheng, let's meet again."

"yes, meet again. This is the booklet for this auction, right? Zheng Jing asked, looking at the booklet she was holding in her arms.

Du Wei handed him the booklet, glanced around the room and said, "Can I go in?"

Zheng Jing looked at her and said, "I'm sorry, I want to sleep."

When he first arrived here, Zheng Jing really didn't want to cause any trouble.

Especially a woman with such a temperament as Du Wei, he is even more respectful.

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Du Wei glanced at him deeply, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Okay, since you want to rest, I'll go back first, so I won't bother you."

Seeing Du Wei leave, Zheng Jing closed the door.

Sitting on the sofa, Zheng Jing looked at the cover of the booklet.

【Christie's Year-end Auction Items】

When he opened the booklet, the first item made Zheng Jing's eyes widen.

"Damn, really fake, Xuande furnace?"

Seeing the picture of the item, Zheng Jing was about to take out his mobile phone and call Wu Shixun.

But when he saw the line below the picture, he was a little disappointed.

"It turned out to be clear."

If it is really Xuande furnace, the 400 million yuan in his hand is not enough at all.

If it's clear, it's not worth that much money.

Made, startled him.

The first one was the Qingyi Xuande Furnace, and the items behind it made him even more curious.

Looking back, the second auction item did not disappoint Zheng Jing, it was actually a gilded Buddha statue, this Buddha statue he had seen, that is, the Erawan Buddha of Thailand.

Judging by the information written below, this Buddha statue was excavated at the bottom of a river in Thailand.

The Buddha statue is exquisite, with no wear and scratches on the outside, and the starting price for this Buddha statue is $50,000.

When converted into RMB, it is about 340,000 yuan.

Thinking of what Kevin said when he first called him, I thought that the competition for this Buddha statue would be fierce.

Flipping back, the third item is a gold-inlaid jade Buddha plaque.

The amulet is very beautiful, it is also a Thai item, and the starting price is 20,000 US dollars.

After reading the information of the Buddha card, Zheng Jing decided to compete.

………

After looking at all the auction items, Zheng Jing already has a goal.

I have to say that Christie's auction items this time really opened his eyes.

There are auctions in Southeast Asia, South Asia and Asia, and even Russian-style items have several items for auction.

It is truly a world-class auction company.

The strength of this search for auction items is too far behind those auction companies in China.

Open WeChat and click on the WeChat group created by Wu Shixun.

There are only six people in the group, Zheng Jing and Wu Shixun.

Send the picture to the group, and then watch it quietly.

Zhang Zhiyuan: "Xuande furnace? This was taken from that book. ”

Qian Jin: "Good guy, such a good amulet, it's really a good thing." Where are you? ”

Wang Yangming: "Isn't this an item from Christie's upcoming auction?" You also read it from the Internet. ”

Zheng Jing: "No, I'm in Singapore right now, you see what this is."

posted the photo of the invitation letter to the group, and Zheng Jing saw that there were more messages in the group in an instant.

Five people can send messages as fast as there are twenty people in a group.

Hu article: "I didn't expect you to have an invitation to Christie's year-end auction."

Wu Shixun: "Good boy, I didn't expect you to be so rich."

Zheng Jing: "???"

Wu Shixun: "Don't you know? It has spread in the circle that the people invited by Kevin, the president of Christie's, are all worth more than 100 million, and he has not invited anyone below 100 million. ”

Qian Jin: "It's really fake, Christie's seems to be going to play a big game this time."

Wang Yangming: "The items on the picture are very good, if you have the money to take pictures, you can do it, and it will appreciate in value after a few years of return."

Zheng Jing: "That's good, I'm not very sure about these things, send it to you and let you palm."

Zhang Zhiyuan: "Don't worry, there can't be a fake auction item for such a big auction at Christie's this time."

Seeing what they said, Zheng Jing thought about it too.

He was relieved.

………

Soon, the time came to six o'clock in the evening of the fifteenth.

Coming to the No. 1 hall below, Zheng Jing found that there were already many people here.

Seeing that there are so many people, if you count it according to no one 100 million, there are at least more than 16 billion here.

Lined up with the invitation letter to go in, and Zheng Jing was led to the room on the second floor.

It was a very small room with very little stuff in it, with a double sofa, a TV and a telephone.

Looking at the placement of the phone, it should be quoted by phone.

Raising his hand and looking at the time, there was still more than half an hour before the auction began, Zheng Jing had to sit down and wait.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Christie's year-end auction, I'm Kevin, Head of Christie's Asia, and now the time has come for the auction to begin."

"The Great Age of Genes"

With that, Kevin walked down, and an old man with gray hair walked up.

Judging by the gavel in his hand, he is the auctioneer of this auction.

At such an age, can you hold on?

"Then the first item to be auctioned, this one from Thailand, is called: a bronze gilt four-faced Buddha statue. The starting price, $50,000, a thousand dollars each increase, is now bidding. ”

"No. 132 bids $60,000."

"No. 6987 bids $80,000."

"The 36th in front of you bids $100,000."

As the bidding began, Zheng Jing saw that the price of the gilded Buddha statue instantly reached 100,000 US dollars.

Although he knew that there were many bidders, he did not expect that there would be so many.

It seems that he still underestimated the influence of Erawan Buddha in Southeast Asia.

"No. 132 bids $170,000."

"Has anyone else bid?"

"The phone bid is $180,000."

"The front row of the 37th bid is $200,000."

"Anything else? The second time, is there none? Syllable! For the third time, congratulations on the 37th. ”

Although the auctioneer is quite old, I can't imagine that he still has such a passion.

This bronze gilt four-sided Buddha statue can be sold for 150,000 US dollars, but who knows that it will be sold for 200,000 US dollars.

No wonder Christie's asked him to preside over the auction.

Zheng Jing looked at the auctioneer below, as if he had thought of Christie's idea.

"Next, the second item will be auctioned, a gold and jade Buddha plaque, from Thailand, with a starting price of $20,000 and an increase of $1,000 each time, and bidding will start now."

"Call bid 30,000."

"Front row, number 33, how much to bid, plus five thousand, thirty-five thousand dollars."

"No. 41 in the front row, forty thousand."

"The online offer is $50,000."

"$50,000, and there are no bids?"

Hearing that someone was bidding $50,000, Zheng Jing took the phone and scolded secretly, Made, actually offered such a high price.

"Plus five thousand."

"Telephone bid, fifty-five thousand dollars, and no bid?"

The auctioneer looked down and saw that no one was bidding.

"The second time! Gone? Syllable! For the third time, congratulations to this friend. ”

The Buddha card was photographed, but Zheng Jing was not happy at all.

That Buddha card is worth 30,000 at most, and he was the first person to quote, but I didn't expect someone to put the price up to 50,000.

He had reason to suspect that this was the price offered by the owner of the Buddha card in the back.

After auctioning off the Buddha card, Zheng Jing was looking forward to what he was going to auction next.

"The third item is a statue, and the name of this statue is this: Statue of the Knight of Basta. It is an Indian-style statue.

The starting price is $150,000, with an increase of $10,000 each time. Start bidding now. ”

Seeing that it was his belongings, Zheng Jing sat down and looked at it.

I don't know how much this statue will sell for.

"Back row, number 365, $160,000."

"Back row, number 7695, how much is out? $170,000. ”

"$170,000, and no one else has bid?"

"256 friends on the left side of the middle, how much to bid? $180,000. ”

"Now the price is $180,000, and..."

"Back row, number 963, $200,000."

"Front row, No. 39, $210,000."

"Two hundred and twenty-one dollars, no one has bid? The third time, congratulations to this friend. ”

Seeing that the statue was finally sold for $210,000, Zheng Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

At first, he always thought it was going to be a failure.

Fortunately, these rich people are powerful.

After that, several more items were photographed.

Among these items, Zheng Jing did not like any of them, so there was no bid.

Now he only has a gold-inlaid jade Buddha tablet in his hand.

His two remaining items, the Agate Seal, sold for $30,000.

The powder bottle mother-of-pearl sold for $150,000.

The three items sold for a total of $390,000.

After deducting the 3 per cent processing fee and $55,000, only $324,000 remains.

Converted into RMB at more than 2.2 million.

It was a good time for these three items to fetch such a high price.

Zheng Jing suddenly thought of Sotheby's now, and I don't know what Sotheby's will think when he sees Christie's auction this time.

As one item after another was photographed, Zheng Jing's heart-to-heart Qingyi Xuande furnace finally appeared.

Although it is clear, it is very well made, and the overall shape and some details of the Xuande furnace are the same as the real one.

It is also unknown how much this item will fetch for auction.

"Qingyi Xuande furnace, the starting price is 200,000 US dollars, and the price is increased by 10,000 US dollars each time, and the bidding starts now."

Good guys, the starting price of 200,000?

"Front row, number 20, two hundred and fifty thousand dollars."

Zheng Jing was just about to say that the starting price was a bit high, but he choked back with a voice of 50,000 yuan.

"No. 369 in the back row, how much is the price increase? Fifty thousand? Okay, three hundred thousand dollars. ”

"Front row, No. 66, an increase of 50,000, 350,000 US dollars."

"Telephone markup, fifty thousand, four hundred thousand dollars."

"Telephone markup, fifty thousand, four hundred and fifty thousand dollars."

"Has anyone else raised the price?"

"Front row, No. 33, a 50,000 increase. Half a million dollars. ”

"Half a million dollars, is anyone else bidding?"

"Gone? Second! Syllable! For the third time, congratulations to this friend. ”

Seeing the price of the Qingyi Xuande furnace for $500,000, Zheng Jingzhi shook his head.

There are so many rich people.

As the auction continued, Zheng Jing auctioned another horn made of rhinoceros horn.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the auction finally ended as the last item was auctioned off.

After the auction, Kevin came to the stage to say some words of thanks, and then invited everyone to the auction party.

Because they all knew that they were all billionaires who came this time, maybe they could cooperate in business, so most of them agreed to go over.

Zheng Jing is no exception, he also wants to meet these billionaires.

"Mr. Zheng, these are the two items you bid on, and after deducting the handling fee and the bidding fee, you still have $300,000."

"We'll get the money into your account within two days."

After getting the two items he had photographed, Zheng Jing did not rush to the party hall, but went to the room first, and then went down.

…………

The third day of coming to Singapore.

Getting up from the bed, Zheng Jing looked at the time and found that it was already nine o'clock in the morning.

Thinking of the plane at ten o'clock, Zheng Jing hurriedly packed his things and prepared to leave.

I came out of the hotel in a panic and took a taxi to the airport.

Sitting in the car, Zheng Jing took out a dozen thick business cards from his clothes pocket.

These business cards were received by him at a party last night.

He looked at them one by one, and Southeast Asia saw that the richest people came the most, followed by South Asia.

Thinking of yesterday's communication with others, Zheng Jing also knew a lot of things that the outside world didn't know.

Thinking of communicating with some wealthy people, Zheng Jing also received several private business cards.

These business cards are all placed in the space, and you may be able to use them when you can.

"Sir, the airport has arrived."

After getting out of the car, Zheng Jing entered the airport, got the boarding pass, came to the boarding gate and waited.

There are about ten minutes left.

While waiting for the plane, Zheng Jing sent the photos of the two items he took to the group.

Seeing the two items photographed by Zheng Jing, Wu Shixun and several people said that they would let them see it when he went back.

Zheng Jing agreed to them.

Soon, there was a boarding announcement from the airport.

Following the flight attendant to the first-class cabin, Zheng Jing asked for a blanket and closed his eyes.

Yesterday he played too late, and now he is so sleepy that he can't open his eyes.

………

More than four hours later.

The plane landed safely at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport.

Coming out of the airport, Zheng Jing took a taxi and drove towards Jinjiang District.

It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and he was thinking that after getting off the plane, he would go to the train station to take a truck or go to Leshan.

However, he found it a little inconvenient to take the train, so he decided to take a break in Chengdu and drive to Leshan tomorrow.

Thinking of Heizhugou, Zheng Jing took out his mobile phone and posted a post about Heizhugou on a forum he frequented.

There is so little information about Heizhugou on the Internet, and a lot of it is useless.

He still had a whim to see if any netizens knew anything about Heizhugou.
