259. The old woman thought
"It's really fateful."
Miao Aoxue was wearing a black dress and long skirt, her figure was tightly groomed, slender and thin, and she was wearing black gauze gloves on her arms.
This painstaking dressing is a typical demeanor rather than temperature, but fortunately there is central air conditioning indoors.
Being able to meet twice in just three days is said to be fate, and it is really fate, but Chen Ya doesn't really want this kind of fate.
"Why are you here?" Chen Ya asked.
Miao Aoxue raised her eyebrows slightly: "Why am I here?" Of course, it's because there's a lot you like here. β
"Oh." Chen Ya said.
Miao Aoxue raised her head highly, like a swan.
In fact, what Chen Ya wants to know is that with the specifications of this auction, Miao Aoxue's identity should not be able to come.
He wanted to ask why Miao Aoxue was able to participate in the auction.
However, looking at Miao Aoxue's proud demeanor, it seems that there is no need to answer this question.
"Why are you here?"
Chen Ya said: "Come and join in the fun." β
At this time, Lu Qianzi, Lu Qingxuan, Liu Ruying, and Xia You, who were traveling with Chen Ya, all followed, and walked behind Chen Ya, all four of them looked at Miao Aoxue, and their eyes were different.
Lu Qingxuan knew her, holding her arms, her eyes were a little disdainful, but she was pretending to be enthusiastic;
Xia You didn't know her, and thought that she was Chen Ya's confidante who came out of nowhere, and there was hostility in her eyes;
Lu Qianzi scolded Chen Ya in her heart for being a flower and a grass, while looking at Miao Aoxue and assessing her appearance;
Liu Ruying was expressionless, and followed behind Chen Ya obediently, looking like a capable female subordinate who just asked about the boss's private life.
Seeing the four beauties in their best posture, Miao Aoxue muttered in her heart.
It's just a Lu Qingxuan, she doesn't understand, where does Chen Ya's charm come from, so many girls can be attracted.
Seeing that Chen Ya had a good relationship with women, she was still a little sour in her heart, but when she looked back, Chen Ya was just a man she gave up, but she was sought after by girls from all walks of life, and she couldn't help but feel that her worth had risen a lot, and she was a little arrogant.
Miao Aoxue approached Chen Ya a few points closer and said, "If you see enough excitement, let's leave early, this is a real top-notch area, you stand here, with all due respect, hehe, it's a bit of a mismatch." β
Not far away, a middle-aged man with gray hair and a straight suit walked over and stood beside Miao Aoxue, and asked her with a smile, "Aoxue, is this your friend?" β
Miao Aoxue smiled lightly and grabbed the old man's arm with her hand, and said, "Uncle Guo, this is not my friend, only an acquaintance." β
"Acquaintances? How cooked? Baked in business? β
"Uncle Guo laughed, compared to you, where can I talk about business with the little thing I do......
Seeing the "Uncle Guo" in Miao Aoxue's mouth, Chen Ya finally understood why she was qualified to stand here.
Guo Menglin, the earliest generation of old entrepreneurs in China, has a place in various industrial fields.
Chen Ya knew him, he didn't know Chen Ya, just because Guo Menglin had a high-profile personality and was known as "Guo Cannon", with a loud voice and daring to speak.
His avatar appears in bookstalls all year round, celebrity biographies, interviews, memoirs, successology, and his headshot on the covers of various books.
In addition, he has also been on a lot of film and television interviews, and slapped the table with the reporter and host.
So Chen Ya was naturally familiar with him.
I just don't know how Miao Aoxue got in touch with this person again.
She turned around and said to Chen Ya: "That's the end of the greetings, you can leave early after watching the excitement." After all, deliberately making friends will only cause others to be disgusted, not to mention, I don't want you to be undignified to this extent. β
After that, she took Guo Menglin's hand again and pulled him aside:
"Uncle Guo, I want to hear the story of the tiger skin you got in Changsheng Mountain......
Miao Aoxue thought that Chen Ya and the others were taking advantage of the large number of people here, and deliberately blended in to get acquainted in front of the top class. In fact, there are a lot of people who do it, and she herself has this idea.
Guo Menglin and Li Jia's family are world friends, and they move around each other, and Miao Aoxue is the other party they met because of this.
And Miao Aoxue has a sweet mouth and can coax people, not to mention that she is also beautiful, Guo Menglin was soon coaxed by her to be happy, and said that she would recognize her as her goddaughter.
This time, he brought Miao Aoxue over, also because at a party, he boasted about Jiang Lizhi's auction and blew the queen's past jewelry to the world, which aroused Miao Aoxue's interest.
There is no girl who doesn't like jewelry, not to mention Miao Aoxue, who is about to get married, so she begged Guo Menglin to bring her over.
Guo Menglin has only one invitation letter, and he was going to bring the little ones raised outside, but the flowers outside the wall will always be more fragrant, not to mention the family next door, and the elders bring the juniors over, which is better than bringing the junior over.
Since there were only two invitations, Li Jiayi couldn't come, so he had to ask Guo Menglin to bring Miao Aoxue. For Li Jiayi, this is naturally a little inappropriate, but Guo Menglin is a kind elder, and Li Jiayi's scruples have to be kept in his heart.
Miao Aoxue called "Uncle Guo" affectionately in her mouth, and pulled Guo Menglin to the side.
Lu Qingxuan looked like he was watching a good show, and whispered into Chen Ya's ear and said:
"I didn't expect Miao Aoxue to be there. It doesn't matter if you lose face in front of us, but if someone asks someone out in front of Miao Aoxue, someone will lose face. β
Lu Qingxuan regarded Miao Aoxue as Chen Ya's "old friend", so he gloated. Although she hated Miao Aoxue, she wished that Miao Aoxue would have the opportunity to mock Chen Ya uncontrollably.
Chen Ya smiled slightly and said, "Then you think too much." β
After hearing this, Lu Qingxuan's heart was blocked, she hated Chen Ya's confident appearance and looked down on people, so she clenched her fists and made another note in her heart.
As time went on, more and more people gathered at the top, and more and more familiar faces appeared
The people who gathered at the top floor seemed to know each other, and when they met, they greeted each other and began to talk in twos and threes.
In fact, this is very normal, because no matter what industry, there are only a handful of people who know each other, even if they don't know each other, they have heard the name in the air.
It's okay that Lu Qianzi knows few people, and celebrities like Liu Ruying are know-it-alls, and the more she looks at it, the more frightened she becomes.
This auction is like an industrial-grade electromagnet, attracting celebrities from all walks of life throughout the capital here.
Those who can be called by name, and those who dare not even call their names...... It's all the big guys who came.
Liu Ruying has a new understanding of Jiang Lizhi's drainage ability.
Chen Ya whispered: "Like these people on the field, only 5% of them are enough to make a 50-million-level small factory survive very well, and if you catch 10%, you can even support an industry." β
After listening to this, Liu Ruying realized something in her heart, and whispered: "Then now that these people are all here, it means ......"
"It means a lot, but it can also be small," Chen Ya said, "and they came more for the Queen of Britain than for Jiang Lizhi." β
Looking up at Chen Ya's side face, Liu Ruying suddenly seemed to understand Chen Ya's thoughts.
For these old top brands in the capital, the Queen of Britain is a golden signboard.
Therefore, Jiang Lizhi started with the Queen of Britain first, and then used the Queen to deal with these top domestic streamers.
Conquering all the top streams, a luxury brand can be regarded as completely standing.
How can luxury become popular? Grab the wealthy class. Caught the rich, the middle class naturally emptied their wallets and was willing to follow suit.
Liu Ruying suddenly felt that Chen Ya looked at these top people from all walks of life in front of him, and his eyes were completely different from himself.
Look at them for yourself as if you were looking at idols or gods.
And his eyes were just looking at a flock of fat sheep.
After a while, Chen Ya glanced at his watch, and it was exactly five minutes since he had just called.
A man with neatly shaved hair looked around the crowd, and when Chen Ya saw him, he walked over quickly.
Miao Aoxue was chatting with Guo Menglin, coaxing Guo to laugh, but her eyes kept glancing at Chen Ya.
After noticing Chen Ya walking towards the door, she immediately stared at him, only to see him chatting with a man for a few words, and then, she turned around and greeted the girls and walked into the main entrance of the venue together.
Miao Aoxue pointed over there and said, "Why did they go in early?" β
"Who?" Guo Menglin asked.
Miao Aoxue walked to the main entrance of the venue, but was squeezed out by a team of hostesses, who stood at the door and posed to welcome the guests, and asked her to show the invitation.
After Guo Menglin handed over the invitation to the other party, the two walked in, and Miao Aoxue was depressed to see that Chen Ya really sat in the first row with those girls.
As you can see, it's still a makeshift stool.
And it just so happened that his own actions were still directly behind him.
Helping Guo Menglin to walk over and sit down, Miao Aoxue whispered to Chen Ya's back: "How much bribed did you have to come in and sit in the first row?" β
Next to him, Lu Qingxuan folded his legs and said, "Actually, I'm also curious, but he won't tell me how to do it." β
Chen Ya ignored the two of them, just picked up the lot introduction brochure from the seat and handed it to Xia Youdao:
"This brochure is for customers to introduce popular science, but there are a total of 15 lots, and only 12 are listed on it, of which 3 are mysterious lots, and they will be unveiled at the end."
Xia You took the manual in his hand, flipped through two pages randomly, and threw the manual back to Chen Ya: "There are too many words, I'm too lazy to read it." β
She was still having trouble with Chen Ya, and now she was in a complicated mood, and she couldn't see it at all.
And although she said she wanted to come to the auction, she was actually absent-minded now.
Miao Aoxue was still bent over and standing behind Chen Ya, Chen Ya ignored himself, touched a soft nail, sat back in his seat, picked up the manual angrily, and said to Guo Menglin next to him:
"Uncle Guo, this auction is not low-grade, right? Not everyone can get in, right? β
A staff member next to him came over and asked Chen Ya in a whisper, Chen Ya waved his hand at him, and the staff took away the hand.
The seat number was on the hand, and the staff took a zero hand. Without this thing, it is impossible to raise a card at all, that is to say, it is impossible to bid.
The front row is obviously a temporary seat, but he came here but did not participate in the auction, Guo Menglin saw it in his eyes, and wondered in his heart what he was coming from, and said to Miao Aoxue whether he had a ride or not:
"That's right, players who don't have some strength can't get in here at all. No, I should say, I don't dare to come in here. β
"Is this company really a domestic company?" Miao Aoxue looked at the manual in her hand, "The name Jiang Lizhi doesn't look like a transliteration. β
"I don't know what the reason is," Guo Menglin cocked Erlang's legs, "At that time, there was a rumor of this auction, saying that the jewelry of the Queen of Britain was brought over, and everyone didn't believe it, so they asked a very famous person in the circle to inquire if the news was true." β
"Oh?" Miao Aoxue was a little interested.
"The result of the inquiry is fidelity," Mr. Guo said, "and it is said that I also heard about this company, but I was not directly involved, so I don't know." If it's really a domestic company, I still want to buy it for fun. β
Miao Aoxue covered her mouth and smiled: "Uncle Guo is also interested in women's jewelry?" β
"A woman's money is the best way to make it." Guo Menglin said with a big grin, "However, who said that buying a company must be interested in jewelry?" I'm only interested in women. And I also want to see which company can get the Queen's stuff into the country. β
A man sitting in the next seat, overhearing their conversation, joined the conversation on his own and said:
"Jiang Lizhi is definitely a foreign company."
Guo Menglin looked over and said, "You are ......"
The man stretched out his hand: "Mr. Guo, be blessed and fortunate next week." β
Guo Menglin also stretched out his hand to hold it: "Oh! You're famous! The leading domestic jewelry. β
Zhou Youfu smiled and humbled himself: "Mr. Guo, you are laughing, how can I compare to your name?" β
He is a time-honored brand of gold and silver jewelry in China, and a leading enterprise in the jewelry industry, and the Chinese people are familiar with their advertising slogan: "Every girl must have a Zhou Taifu." β
Miao Aoxue also smiled: "It turned out to be Boss Zhou, and I also want to choose Zhou Taifu's wedding ring when I get married." β
Zhou Youfu immediately said: "I'll give you a discount." β
Guo Menglin asked, "How do you know that this must be a foreign company?" β
Zhou Youfu opened the manual in his hand, pointed to the previous page of the manual and said: "Mr. Guo, you see, this first lot, the Chinese blue handbag, this is the used handbag of the Queen of Britain, which was made by this company. β
"What's wrong?" Guo Menglin stared at the manual and said, "I see that this handbag is ordinary and nothing special. β
"On the surface, there really is nothing special, but I must tell you that the Queen of Britain has never used Launer's handbag exclusively," Zhou Youfu said, "The Queen has more than 200 handbags in her life, and each one of them is Launer's, and this handbag is the only one of her other brands." β
"Oh?" Miao Aoxue raised her eyebrows.
"There is a joke that someone should have heard, that is, the handbag is the queen's mouth, and the satchel in her left hand means that everything is normal, and when she changes to her right hand, it means that the topic is boring and she wants to leave." Zhou Youfu said, "So the bag means a lot to her, she will carry it every time she attends an event, and she is a mobile live advertisement." It is impossible for a domestic brand to sell Huaguo's bags to the queen. β
Miao Aoxue nodded slowly. And Chen Ya and the others, who were sitting in the front, naturally also heard the discussion in the back row.
Xia You leaned into Chen Ya's ear and asked in a low voice, "How did you do it?" β
"What?"
"How did you do it, selling a bag made in China to the Queen of Britain?" Xia You asked in a low voice.
"Oh, the first bag is a gift, a greeting gift." Chen Ya said, "It's better than their materials, it's lighter than their materials, and it's more ergonomic than them." The old woman loves to use it, so she uses it. β
"......" Xia You didn't expect such an answer.
"The other dozen pieces, won't they all be sent?"
When Chen Ya heard this question, the corners of his mouth slowly pulled out a smile: "The old woman wants to, but that's not good." β
In the midst of a thousand calls, the auction host finally appeared, and the lot encased in a crystal box was also pushed up.
After a simple warm-up, a video was played in the large projection in the center of the field.
An azure tea bowl appears in the video.
"Dingβ"
The sound of small pieces sounded like wind chimes, like the bells of a traveler, like the hooves of a horse in the distance.
"Dingβ"
Another small sound sounded, and everyone on the field was drawn to the crystal box in the center of the field.
"Did you just hear that?" The host in the field danced with his eyebrows, "The voice just now is the sound of porcelain opening." β
"With the passage of time, the surface glaze of porcelain will gradually crack inward, forming various patterns on the surface, and the lines formed by this opening will not go deep, only open on the glaze, like one exquisite petal after another."
"After the opening of these porcelains out of the kiln, the opening of the pieces can be as short as three to five days, and the long ones will reach several years, and some will even reach decades."
"The tea bowl you see now is the best of porcelain. The ice cracks on its surface will continue to improve and become more and more perfect over the years to come. β
"Ordinary porcelain pieces will grow for decades, but this one is the only masterpiece made after thousands of furnaces failed with the latest firing technology, and its opening pieces will last for a hundred years!"
"This tea bowl has never been used for tea drinking since it was purchased by the Queen of Britain, it is a regular visitor to the queen's bedside table, whenever the queen can't sleep, she will have this tea bowl put on the desk, listen to its opening sound from time to time, and fall asleep peacefully."
"Ru kiln azure ice crack double fish cup, British royal supplies, the starting price is 990,000 RMB, and the minimum price increase is 10,000 yuan, and the auction is now open!"
At the scene, Qi brushed up a piece of cards.
Lu Qianzi opened her mouth and said blankly: "Wow, it sounds so strong, I want it so much!" β
"Although it is now 990,000, the final transaction price will definitely be much more than this." Lu Qingxuan said coldly, "And what are you buying this for?" Are you also having trouble falling asleep? β
"Goo......
Lu Qianzi, who felt the suppression of her blood, hurriedly shut up.
Chen Ya said with a smile: "In fact, after mastering the latest technology of ice cracking, we can now produce more mature works, and we can make them after 120 years of stable opening." β
Lu Qingxuan turned his head to him: "How do you know?" β
Miao Aoxue, who was sitting behind Chen Ya, also heard their conversation, smiled "poof", and said, "Mass production of royal supplies, right?" Chen Ya, when did you change careers? Changed to a cowhider? β
