Chapter 168: This Is Just the Beginning
The air in the room seemed to freeze.
With a playful smile, Summer Night looked at Lillian, who was sitting across the table. Lillian's face had no expression other than confusion, as if she hadn't understood the meaning of this sudden question......
"Didi-Didi-Didi-"
A sudden chime came from the kitchen, breaking the quiet air, and Lillian let out an "ah" and jumped up from her chair and ran to the kitchen.
"Oops! The cookies I baked ......"
The sound of "Didi" died down, and there was a rush in the kitchen, and a moment later, Summer Night saw Lilian come out with freshly baked cookies.
"Whew...... I almost forgot to bake the biscuits, Sister Summer Night, let's try to see if it's burnt? ”
Summer Night looked at the tray handed over, picked out a whale-like biscuit from it, put it to his mouth, and took a bite gently.
Freshly baked cookies are a bit tongue-hot, but because of this, they taste a little more fragrant than when cooled.
A slight bitter sweetness spreads in the mouth, and it does burnt a little, but Summer Night doesn't hate it, but I like the bitterness wrapped in sweetness.
"It's delicious, it's just right." She smiled and said to Lillian.
"Huh, huh?" Lily picked up a biscuit in the shape of a summer night comic book avatar and put it in her mouth, and with a "click", "Summer Night"'s head was instantly bitten off in half.
"Uh-huh...... Sister Xia Ye lied to people, obviously a little burnt. ”
"I really didn't lie to you." Xia Ye smiled, "It's a little tired when it's all sweet, but I like this kind of one with a little bitterness." ”
"Eh, really? Sister Summer Night isn't comforting me, is she? ”
"Really."
"Okay......" Lillian nodded suspiciously, remembering the topic again, "What does Sister Summer Night want to ask me?" ”
"I just asked: You don't really want to be my pet, do you?" Summer Night repeated the question again.
This time, Lilian immediately answered:
"How, how is it possible! No one would want to be someone else's pet! The girl retorted with a red face.
"Oh, that's good." Summer Night nodded, "I'm going to a roadshow tomorrow, but it's nothing today, let's hang out together, right?" ”
"Yay!"
……
Late at night, 12:30 p.m.
Nana finally returned to her residence, opened the crystal ball and saw that there was a lot of discussion about the news on the Internet.
After a day of analysis by many gossip enthusiasts, the credibility of the news has become higher and higher, and many contents have been verified.
For example, "Yuanchuan Rental" was indeed on the verge of bankruptcy some time ago, and some time ago, there were indeed two big witches who fought a vicious battle in the square in front of the "Yuanchuan Rental" building. As for the photo of Curran, the focus of the news, it has long been spread on the Internet.
When everyone saw Curran's beautiful doll-like appearance, they immediately understood why two big witches in Uptown wanted to buy her in succession, such a beautiful girl, plus she is also the founder and chairman of a company, it can be said that there is both an exterior and an inside.
Many people said after eating melons: I used to despise the big witch in Shangcheng District, but now I understand the big witch in Shangcheng District, if I am the big witch in Shangcheng District, I also want to buy her as a pet...
Nana flipped through everyone's discussions, and at the same time thought that tomorrow she would really take a day off and go to Puerto de Busota to watch the roadshow of the bond issuance, because then she could see the summer night again......
Looking forward to tomorrow, Nana, who had been tired all day, soon fell into a deep sleep.
……
"Tomorrow's Moby Dick auction will be a dark auction."
Late at night, on December 35, Summer Night used the crystal ball to send a message to Lin from the Whale Oil Exchange.
The other party had apparently been waiting for her decision, and received a reply less than 10 seconds after the message was sent: "Okay. ”
Summer night turned off the screen of the crystal ball, and the bedroom suddenly became pitch black, she half leaned on the head of the bed, quietly thinking about tomorrow.
She was worried that it was not a road show, similar things had been done in the past world I don't know how many times, and she was familiar with the road, and she could do it with her eyes closed.
What she had been thinking about was tomorrow's Moby Dick auction, because she always remembered what Susha told her-
"Among the bidders of Moby Dick, there is one who you are looking for, find her, ask her to get your head, and give it to you."
In order to find out this person, Xia Ye finally decided to shoot secretly after thinking about it for a long time.
Because there is no open bidding, the transaction price of the dark auction is often lower than that of the open auction, but on the other hand, because there is no open bidding, the room for maneuvering in the dark auction is much greater than that of the open auction.
If the person who can get his head understands his needs, then the other party may take the initiative to contact him after the secret shooting, and use the whereabouts of the head as a bargaining chip to try to photograph the beluga whale at a lower price.
Of course, this is only the ideal scenario. It's more likely that Summer Night still needs to find out from all the bidders on its own, but if that's the case, the dark auction is even more necessary-
In order for the offer to be valid, all bidders must fill in their basic information at the same time as the offer, which is equivalent to the whale oil exchange having a list of all bidders' information, which is supposed to be confidential, but if the person who wants to see it is a summer night, the situation is different.
The Whale Oil Exchange was just starting to make a name for itself, and Summer Night was its first and only big client, so it was hard for Lin to refuse her request.
After haggling a few days ago, Lin finally agreed to have Summer Night copy a list of bidders, and in return, Summer Night promised to double the commission for this auction.
I hope Susa's words are true...... Summer night thought silently in the dark.
Although there is still a long time before the deadline, it is good to be able to finish this task as soon as possible, not to mention, she is quite curious......
What does the original owner of this body look like?
In the chaos of thoughts, Xia Ye's consciousness gradually blurred, and finally fell asleep.
……
On December 22, the "Moby Dick Auction and the First Beluga Bond Issuance Roadshow" was held as scheduled in the port of Debsota.
This time, the whale oil exchange was more prepared, they specially cleared a huge clearing, and the 300-meter-long beluga whale was embalmed and moved to the center of the clearing by hundreds of porters.
Eight bony wings over 150 meters in length are fixed at different angles by the "structural strengthening" contract ability, as if the whale will take off at any moment, and the auction table is simply erected on the whale's back, which is as small as a dining table compared to the huge whale.
Around the whales, there were many more people coming to watch the auction than the last time, and Lin made a rough estimate and found that there were at least more than 100,000 people.
Most of the spectators in the vicinity stood on the ground, a little back, so they had to sit on a broom and suspend in the air, the farther out, the higher the height of the levitation, and finally everyone formed a huge bowl, the height of this bowl is more than 500 meters, the diameter is nearly 2 kilometers, and even the huge whale lying at the "bottom of the bowl" is a little small compared to it.
For this auction, Lin Xia has made a lot of money. She specifically contacted the City Dome in Uptown, the company that manages the dome, and rented them a dome above her head and turned it into a giant display. As long as people in the vicinity look up, they can see the auction live.
Background.
Lin Jiang opened the door and glanced out, and the black crowd stood around like a cliff, which made her feel dizzy. Suppressing her nervousness and excitement, she turned around and said:
"There are too many people! I never imagined that one day the port would gather so many people. ”
Behind her, Xia Ye was lying on the sofa in the middle of the night, brushing her gossip news with a crystal ball. The girl took off her shoes, her legs wrapped in white silk on top of each other, half-sunk in soft and comfortable cushions.
Hearing Lin's words, the beautiful girl with white hair and red eyes raised her head and smiled at her: "There are many things beyond your imagination, Ms. Lin, and this is just the beginning." Go ahead, it's your turn to take the stage. ”
