Chapter 241: Black Market

Seeing that person coming over, Chen Xi looked at him carefully, as if he was a little impressed, but he couldn't remember who he was, and he didn't know where he had seen him.

"Mr. Chen, I really didn't expect to meet you here! It's such an honor that today's banquet is not in vain. The man said with a smile.

Chen Xi shook hands with him with a smile, he didn't show embarrassment on the surface, he was thinking about who this person was. "It's a pleasure to meet you here."

That person seemed to be really happy to see Chen Xi, he looked around, lowered his voice and said, "The method you taught me to improve my strength is really effective, I feel that my strength has increased a lot." Thank you very much, and I would like to ask you for advice! ”

Hearing him say what way to increase his strength, Chen Xi thought about it for a while, and then remembered that this was the descendant of the human vampires of the Silko family in New York. That time, he taught him a simple way to improve his strength, and in return, he also got the pharaoh's spirit bead from the Egyptians to give to him.

His name...... It seems like...... The name is William, right?

"Mr. William doesn't have to be polite, you can come to me when you need it." Chen Xi said politely, but he didn't mention the matter of the Pharaoh's Spirit Bead again, because the bead had been broken, and Amut had already come out of it and was standing in front of him. It's hard to believe such a thing, and you can't just say it.

"Who is the host of this banquet ......?" Chen Xi said a little embarrassed, and at the same time diverted the topic.

William was stunned for a moment, and said with a little surprise: "It's Thomas, why don't you know who it is?" ”

Chen Xi smiled. whispered: "I'll tell you a secret, in fact, I don't have an invitation card, I came uninvited!" ”

William's eyes were even more surprised, "You...... So what are you here for? I'm sorry. I don't mean that you are not welcome, I am just curious, you can not answer. ”

Chen Xi lowered his voice a little more, "I was told that this would be an underground black market, so I wanted to open my eyes." I didn't expect it to be an upper-class banquet, which was really a bit embarrassing. ”

William finally understood Chen Xi's intention, and he felt a little flattered that Chen Xi told him such a private purpose, obviously Chen Xi regarded himself as a person who could be assured. remembered the last time Chen Xi took a fancy to the pharaoh's spirit bead, which made William think that Chen Xi liked to collect cultural relics. So there is no doubt anymore.

He hurriedly said: "Nothing, this is some kind of upper-class banquet." I'm happy to tell you that you won't be disappointed. Although this is a banquet, there are still some entertainment programs, that is, the trade of antique relics, in fact, that is the main purpose of the banquet. ”

"Oh?" Chen Xi was very pleasantly surprised, he was in the right place. But on the surface, he is still relatively calm. said lightly: "Is there really such a trading link?" ”

William pointed to the surrounding guests and whispered, "Those guys, and those guys." They are all famous cultural relics hunters, and they have always liked to secretly buy all kinds of cultural relics, antiques, and treasures. Many others have their own hobbies of collecting. ”

After he finished speaking, he added, "Actually, all the friends invited by Thomas are friends who are interested in collecting, and I will come to this banquet to see if there are any good things." ”

Chen Xi said with a haha: "It turns out that Mr. William also has the same hobby. ”

"Where, where, in fact, I'm not very interested." William said a little mysteriously: "Last time, I accidentally knew that Mr. Chen was very interested in ancient relics, so I wanted to take this opportunity to take a look. Let's see if there's anything you like, Mr. Chen. I can buy it and give it to you. ”

Chen Xi secretly exclaimed, this William is really a sycophant master, and he is very good at seizing opportunities, he came here to do his own bird business, just because he accidentally saw himself, it can be said that he is helping himself to see the cultural relics, and he also said that he wants to buy it for himself.

"Thank you, Mr. William, then." Chen Xi said with a grateful look. "But this time I'm not trying to buy something, I'm trying to sell something."

"Really?" William said a little surprised, and lowered his voice again: "The treasures collected by Mr. Chen also want to be contributed?" ”

Chen Xi said lightly: "I recently went to Europe, and various coincidences allowed me to buy a few very rare things, but I am personally not very interested in them, so I want to sell them." Today, I just wanted to take a look and get familiar with how this kind of occasion works. ”

William smiled understandingly, "It turns out that Mr. also likes to change hands, yes, we are all businessmen." ”

Seeing that he regarded himself as a dealer of cultural relics, Chen Xi couldn't help but laugh in his heart, but this was also a good disguise, even if someone really found him, it could be said that he sold it himself.

"Sir doesn't need to be familiar with how it works, I know Thomas very well, and I've been to his banquets a few times, and he arranged them very well. If you believe me, I'm willing to take you to Thomas and help you get rid of it tonight. William said enthusiastically.

Of course, Chen Xi thinks it's very good, but if he agrees early, it seems that he really wants to get rid of it, and he may not be able to sell it at a good price.

He thought about it for a while, and then said lightly: "It's not in a hurry, I'd better find out first, anyway, that thing won't depreciate in my hand, and it's the same when I sell it." It's not that I don't believe you, William, but I'm really not familiar with this method. ”

Hearing that Chen Xi rejected William's proposal, Shellis felt a little surprised, why not take the opportunity to sell it quickly? She wanted to call Chen Xi, but after thinking about it for a while, she still didn't. After all, it's up to him to make his own decisions, and he must have a reason for saying that.

William said enthusiastically: "Mr. Chen, your business is my business, don't worry, I will definitely help you arrange it, and I won't let your price be low." Let's talk to Thomas first, maybe you'll believe him. He knew very well in his heart that if Chen Xi really didn't believe himself, he couldn't trust Thomas.

"It's okay, I have to apologize to him for coming uninvited!" Chen Xi said with a smile.

This convinced William even more, and he greeted Shellis and Amudt, and then led Chen Xi to the front.

Chen Xi glanced at the two of them and signaled that they would be fine, so they could play here with confidence. Then he followed William through the guests.

Thomas was a bearded man, laughing loudly with his guests, and he looked very bold and welcoming.

William whispered a few words to him in the past, and he immediately said goodbye to the others, and followed William to Chen Xi's face.

"Mr. Chen? Hello, hello. Very nice to meet you! Thomas carefully looked at Chen Xi's appearance.

Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you." I'm sorry, Mr. Thomas, that I'm not invited. ”

"Where, where, it was my negligence, such a noble friend, it is really my fault that I didn't invite you here!"

The two exchanged polite words, and then William said what Chen Xi meant.

Thomas invited them aside, and then whispered to Chen Xi: "To be honest, our banquet does include an antique trading session, but this is a private transaction, so we won't be obvious, it's a salon party to the outside world." It has been confirmed that there will be a number of items to be traded tonight, and we are very happy if Mr. Chen's items are willing to circulate together. ”

Seeing Chen Xi's somewhat thoughtful look, Thomas continued: "We are all friends in ***, so there will be no deception, and I will ensure the safety of good items here." As for the price, I can't guarantee it, so I can only provide an environment where everyone can bid for the sale, or bid for the auction. I only charge a small commission to cover the cost of the venue and the banquet. Of course, Mr. Chen, you are a good friend of William, and it is the first time you have participated, and I will definitely not charge your commission today. ”

Chen Xi saw that they had already spoken out openly, so it was not good to continue to pretend.

"Don't charge my commission? Then I thank you in advance! He said solemnly, "Are there any guests who can afford the price tonight?" ”

William and Thomas immediately burst out laughing.

This made Chen Xi a little confused, so, what's so funny?

"Mr. Chen, you may be less involved in this kind of private transaction." William explains: "In this case, no one will sign any contract, and it is usually a lump sum payment. Therefore, these guests have all brought enough cashier's checks, no matter how valuable they encounter, they can sell them all at once. ”

Chen Xi was a little relieved, thought about it again, and promised: "I can bring things over, and the price will be set later." ”

Thomas immediately welcomed it, although he didn't know what Chen Xi was going to take out, but it was worth his caution, and it must have a bit of weight.

Chen Xi didn't need their help, and said that he could go back and get it. Finding Shellis and Amut, the trio left the private mansion.

Drove away from the mansion and sped away outside the door, and after turning for a while, Chen Xi stopped the car.

His mind sensed out, and he made sure that no one was following him, so he was relieved, and asked Amut to continue to pay attention to the surrounding environment, and told Shellis the information that was just inside again.

"Can they be trusted? Could it be that they are trying to deceive you? Shellis was a little uneasy again.

Chen Xi laughed, "There are three of us too, and we are not fools, and it is not so easy to take things away from us." ”

Shellis nodded silently as his choice. [(m)Bulletless window viewing]
