Chapter 205: Hualong Auction House
Early the next morning.
The proprietress was tired and her back and legs hurt, and seeing that Chen Daxiu hadn't woken up yet, she twisted his ass angrily: "Stinky boy!
Chen Daxiu was clever for a moment, and was dreaming when he was woken up by the proprietress.
At this moment, a slight knock on the door was remembered outside the room.
It's a squire in the castle.
Wake up the hostess.
The attendants of Old Man Qiao's family are regular, and every detail is taken care of quite well.
A new day, new clothes, new book supplies.
It feels like everything in my life has been renewed.
After breakfast, Old Man Qiao came to invite Chen Daxiu and others to the auction, and the old man said: "The transportation and verification of the gold coins are ready, just wait for the auction to start." ”
Chen Daxiu didn't want to go, but I heard that Old Man Qiao went to the scene in person for this auction, and it would be a bit rude if he didn't show up.
According to the translator, Old Man Qiao has not participated in the auction house for nearly ten years, and this appearance is completely for the sake of Chen Daxiu's face.
In fact, Chen Daxiu also knew in his heart that Old Man Qiao wanted to save his life.
He felt that this old man's humanity was okay, and he was not the kind of master who was unkind to the rich, so he nodded and agreed. Otherwise, even if the other party is in Niucha, Chen Daxiu will not bird him.
After all, these gold coins are incomparable with tens of billions of underwater assets!
Chen Daxiu told the translator that all the money for this auction belonged to the proprietress and he didn't want a penny.
After hearing this, Old Man Qiao said, 'Oh?'.
was even more impressed by Chen Daxiu.
The proprietress held back the ecstasy in her heart, and only smiled slightly.
Of course, there are also He Tingcheng and Lao Guo's share, and when the auction is over, it will naturally be distributed to them.
Although these two people also learned from Chen Daxiu's words and said that they didn't want money, Chen Daxiu knew very well in his heart that He Tingcheng said no because of his self-esteem, but in fact, she also wanted it.
Who can have a grudge against money?
Not to mention Lao Guo, this old boy has a lot of eyes, and he has a godfather, who retains his value more than any gold coin auction.
Everyone sat on Old Man Qiao's extended version of Cadillac and went straight to the most famous local Hualong auction house.
It is said that this auction house was opened by a Chinese person, and it has been handed down to the present for more than 300 years.
"No wonder the name sounds a little familiar. Chen Daxiu muttered in a low voice.
Arrived at Hualong Auction House.
There is a couplet on the left and right, the upper couplet is: Drifting across the sea and the wealth is prosperous, and the lower couplet writes: Gold, silver, copper and iron converge in all directions, and the horizontal batch position: Purple gas comes from the east!
Looking at the content of this couplet, it is not a neat sentence.
The translator said: "This is written by Chen Hualong, the founder of Hualong Auction House, because Chen Hualong, who was in a foreign country at that time and did not have a high level of education, was homesick, so he made a pair by himself, although it was not neat, but it was also a little exotic." ”
In fact, the translation is also right, at that time, there were not many Chinese people who went overseas, and foreigners couldn't recognize a few in Chinese, not to mention the pair.
These two lines of characters are written here, and it is estimated that they can fool foreigners for hundreds of years.
The translator said: "The auction house commemorates the founder, and all the characteristics of the time are preserved. ”
Everyone looked at the translator's hand and saw that there was indeed a carved wood carving.
It depicts an old man in his fifties, holding a Chinese-style teapot, sipping tea under a tree, with the Hualong Auction House in the background at the time.
Five big Chinese characters!
The wood carving is red sandalwood, and it looks like it should be many years old, and it is estimated that this thing is still an antique.
At the top of the wood carving, there are five large characters of the modern version of 'Hualong Auction House', and below is a line of local foreign characters.
At the door, there were two people who looked like men in ancient China waiting on both sides.
Seeing that Old Man Qiao and Chen Daxiu were coming, they hurriedly greeted each other with a smile and shouted: "Your guest is here ......"
Immediately after, a man who looked like a steward came out.
The man clenched his hands into fists, smiled, and said in a very crisp voice: "I've invited you inside!"
When Chen Daxiu heard it, hey, it was still a Beijing accent, and this place really had some characteristics.
At present, it should be in accordance with the rules of the old capital in ancient times.
Not to mention, in this foreign country, it is also a good scene!
Chen Daxiu was also naughty, patted the man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Is there bean juice?"
The man was stunned for a moment at the time: "Hey, you are a Chinese, cough, look at my long eyes, I thought you were from the island country, you should fight, you should fight!"
Everyone laughed, Lao Guo saw that this old boy was poor enough, so he wanted to tease him: "I said that you don't have very good eyes, can he be the same as this Chinese and island people, ah? Go! Call your shopkeeper, it is the emperor and his second uncle who are here!"
"Huh?"
The man blinked a few times, not knowing what to answer.
Chen Daxiu glared at Lao Guo and said with a smile: "He's joking, don't mind!"
The man smiled: "You're welcome, come, please have a few inside!"
They followed the man to the inner room.
Now there is still half an hour before the auction starts, and Old Man Qiao has booked a luxurious private room here, and invited Chen Daxiu and the others to rest there.
In the private room, there was a water of ancient Chinese fragrance, and soon, someone came in with a soaked high-quality dragon well to serve.
At the same time, several young girls followed, most of whom were local foreigners, and only two were Chinese.
These are two Chinese girls unique to the auction house, and they are specially prepared for Chen Daxiu.
The two girls handed over the auction brochure and asked Chen Daxiu to look at it first.
The first page, the largest, is his gold coins.
The size, color, style, and quantity are all clearly recorded, and there are photos on it, which are very clear.
Chen Daxiu sighed secretly in his heart, this old man Qiao really has two hits, in such a short time, he has already made the materials and auction advertisements so exquisite, and he deserves to be the richest man in the local area!
Looking at the back, almost every page is about gold coins.
Listen to the little Chinese girl said, this is a foreign gold coin, from now, it has been more than 700 years, it is a serious foreign antique.
If the auction goes well, the price is estimated to be more than 2.6 billion.
Chen Daxiu and the proprietress glanced at each other, and thought: Old man Qiao is really reliable, which is higher than the two and five billion he said!
However, the two little girls also said that this is the auction, and it is estimated that there will be more than three buyers.
Because there are so many gold coins, and the price is so high, almost no one can eat them in one go.
If you don't get it right, you have to have four or five or even more buyers to 'eat'.
Chen Daxiu actually doesn't matter, it doesn't matter how many families he divides, in short, just sell it.
He basically didn't listen to the rest of the matter, approached Old Man Qiao, and asked, "Old man, where is your bank?" Can you take me to see it?"
"Of course you can!" the translator said, "Mr. Qiao said, I hope you and the lady can deposit the money from the auction into Sudirman Bank, and Qiao Lao said that he will give you a fairly affordable deposit exchange rate." ”
Chen Daxiu nodded slightly, thinking: This old man is really a businessman, looking at this, he helped find an auction house, and it was not in vain.
However, Chen Daxiu was not stupid, and told the translator: "As long as the proprietress agrees, I'll talk to her when I get back, hehe!"
