"Dad, do you see, this is a rich man. ”

Xia Yu said with emotion, he was also making up lessons for Lao Xia.

Lao Xia was silent, but he had a lot of thoughts in his heart.

Because of their son, their family has also become rich, and they will be even richer in the future, and the way of spending has changed, and he and his wife have to accept this change.

Poor do not learn thrift, rich do not learn luxury, people's thoughts are affected by the environment and identity, thrift does not need to be forced, luxury or not should also go with the flow.

It is not advisable for the poor to be brainwashed by consumerism, it is also not good for the rich to live as misers, money only makes sense if it circulates in society, otherwise why print it?

After shouting the price of 410 million, the entire auction scene was solemn, everyone was waiting for the next bidder, but no one raised their cards for a long time.

"410 million, deal!"

The auctioneer finally sold the deal, and the mysterious buyer bought the "Wood and Stone Map" for 410 million.

No, 410 million is just the auction price, and the auction also has to pay a commission, and Christie's commission has been raised many times, and the total price of this "Wood and Stone Picture" is about 460 million after the combined commission.

This is because the lot itself is expensive enough, otherwise the commission ratio is higher, and the auction will work hard to plan and publicize it, attracting rich people from all over the world, for the purpose of commission.

Do you make money, don't be cold, the four things Xia Yu bought plus one piece will almost cost more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, which is converted into RMB 10 million, which is exactly his salary for a day.

"This auction house is really dark, 10 million can buy more than 1,000 acres of land!"

Seeing her son sign and pay, Lin Shuqin couldn't help but complain when she came out.

"People also want to make money, which is the same model as intermediaries. ”

Lao Xia figured it out anyway and helped unravel Lin Shuqin.

"Dad is right, there is no auction house as a platform, such boutiques will only circulate in a small area and a small area, and it is difficult to buy them if you have money, and people earn money from their skills. ”

Xia Yu added that professional things are left to professional people, they only need to spend money, and the time and energy saved are more valuable than the commission itself.

"Then what kind of flower god cup are you going to shoot tomorrow, and you have to pay millions of commissions?"

Lin Shuqin also heard Xia Yu and Lao Xia's whispers just now, so she asked like this.

"I'm going to pay it, but I'm worried that the competition is too fierce and my dad won't be able to take it. ”

Xia Yu's worries are not unreasonable, the Twelve Flower God Cup is very famous in the Qing official kiln porcelain, and it is recorded in "Tao Ya": Kangxi December Flower Wine Cup, a cup and a flower, with blue and white, colorful, very thin texture, two baht self-light...... If you want to make do with the December flowers, it will be difficult to be honest.

Hundreds of years have passed, in today's advanced science and technology, the south and the north are all in one day, it is not difficult to gather the flowers of December, but it is quite difficult to get together a set of flower god cups, not to mention that it is still from the same batch of kiln products.

"This Dad, I'll hit 100 million into your card, take this set of Flower God Cup, if there is more left, you can see what you like and take it together, when the time comes, I will pick two suitable ones and put them in the new home library, and you can bring the others back together." ”

Xia Yu thought about it and said, if it weren't for the black card, he could only use it himself, and the deputy card wouldn't have time to do it for Lao Xia, so it wouldn't be so troublesome, and now he could only make money.

"100 million? That's too much, isn't it?"

"It's not much, it's a little more expensive to buy two things and you'll see the bottom, Dad, you just look at it and buy it, we can't spend much money at home, it's hard to come out of a trip to consume." ”

How to upgrade without consumption, Xia Yu plans to upgrade to Lv17 this time and then go back.

Today, he smashed more than 100 million, and the gap is only more than 200 million, and he will definitely be able to complete the goal of this trip, and his cash flow will be more abundant at that time.

It was already late when I returned to the hotel, and Xia Yu and his parents didn't talk much, so they went back to their rooms to sleep.

Xia Yu slept very soundly, Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia didn't sleep well, because they were both thinking about tomorrow, although the family had been rich for a while, but they were only used to their son's consumption upgrade, and they were not used to their own consumption upgrade.

As for how to spend 100 million, the two of them were three points nervous, three points apprehensive, and three points excited, and multiple emotions were intertwined into complex moods, which made people not sleepy at all.

In the same way, when Xia Yu first got the system, tens of thousands of yuan could not sleep with excitement, and now the cloud is light and light, and he is more accustomed to it.

Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia will get used to it one day, but they will not forget the complexity of their hearts today.

After a good night's dream, Xia Yu still got up very early, washed up and read the book in the room, and in the morning Christie's delivered yesterday's lot to the hotel, along with various certificate documents.

Actually, he just buys some daily necessities, and he won't sell them anymore, it's the same with or without these documents, but if you want to bring them back to China legally, these documents are necessary.

In addition, you have to pay customs duties and value-added tax, if you don't pay it, you can only transport it to the warehouse in the bonded area, and the tax amount is not as scary as a few times that of a luxury car.

Xia Yu is not at a loss, the commission to the auction house and the taxes paid back to China are all based on experience points, and if the money is spent, he will have no pressure to upgrade Lv17.

"Xiaoyu, then I'll go with your mother!"

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lao Xia dressed and sorted out and Lin Shuqin prepared to go out.

"Okay, be careful on the road. ”

Seeing his parents set off for the auction, Xia Yu also put down the green glazed tea cup in his hand.

He is looking forward to Lao Xia's harvest today, the special auction of "Important Chinese Porcelain and Crafts", in addition to the Huashen Cup, there are many good things, such as a lot of jade.

A gentleman is like jade, a righteous gentleman like him doesn't have two pieces of jade by his side, to be honest, he is afraid of the dark when he walks, and the ghost is afraid of him.

It's different if you have jade, wait until you go back and let Lao Xia take it to Maoshan Daoyuan to open the light, it is really all evil, and there are no taboos.

Xia Yu is not busy today, but there will be two auctions tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, one is "exquisite watches" and the other is "magnificent jewelry and jade jewelry".

The day after tomorrow, there is also a "Elegant Inheritance: Handbags and Accessories", which Xia Yu crossed out with the previous calligraphy and painting exhibition, because the bag is not quite the right way with their family.

Xia Yu can't quite think about the picture of Ms. Lin carrying a Hermes limited edition bag and mixing into the C position of the wife's circle, Lin Shuqin is really not interested in bags, but jewelry is really impossible to refuse.

As for the bracelet he gave last year, Lin Shuqin has been wearing it on her hand!

The bracelet was not much before, but this is the son's heart, and this is the most precious.

This time, Xia Yu wants to add some family wealth to his mother, and in the future, some jewelry will be passed on to his daughter-in-law, don't take a string of heirlooms like Fang Shiyu's mother, everyone has a share.

As for the "exquisite famous watch" special, Xia Yu wants to change a watch for Lao Xia, after all, we have a bowl of water.

In the past, he thought that the Rolex Datejust was ugly and suitable for middle-aged people, so he gave it to Lao Xia, but now that his worth has skyrocketed to 10 billion, it is not suitable for Lao Xia to wear this watch again.

Xia Yu changed the watch for Lao Xia later, but they were all cheap watches of three or five hundred thousand, which were also inappropriate.

This time, he took the opportunity to see what famous watches at auction could be worthy of their father and son.

With these planned in their hearts, time passed quietly, and Lin Shuqin and Lao Xia also came back in the hotel car.

"Xiaoyu, guess who we met?"

"Who?"

Lin Shuqin suddenly asked, how did Xia Yu know who.

"Liu Yiqi, the one who bought the chicken bowl cup. ”

Lao Xia didn't go around the bend, and said directly to his son.

"I remembered that when I watched the list before, I saw his name, and he was ranked 71st, which is richer than our family. ”

Xia Yu remembered this big guy, who was worth 35 billion, more than twice as much.

However, compared with wealth, Liu Yiqi has a greater reputation in the collection world, and spent 280 million yuan to shoot the Chenghua Doucai Chicken Cup in 14 years, which was famous for a while.

The first time he entered the collecting world was in the 90s, when he was a regular visitor to major auction houses, and even had the title of cover boy, and it was normal for him to appear at the autumn auctions, maybe yesterday, but he didn't sit together.

"He's sitting next to me and your mom today, bidding with me for the set of flower god cups you want. ”

When Lao Xia said this, Xia Yu felt that something was wrong.

"How's it going, didn't rob him?"

"I took it, and I spent a total of 37 million including commissions. ”

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief, just take the auction, how about the big guy, we are also the big guy, the auction only depends on who has more money, and whoever has more things is who's.

Lao Xia is still excited, defeating the rich people he knows to come out on top, which feels not ordinary wonderful.

"And what about the rest of the money?"

"It's all spent, and there is a Yongle plate, a Xuande bowl, and a few Qianlong jade ornaments. ”

Lao Xia crossed his fingers and said, this is all what Xia Yu told before, to spend almost all the money.

Ordinary told him that he would definitely not listen, but his son showed him the account before transferring money, and after counting how many zeros there were, he found that it was hundreds of millions.

Shouldn't it all be on the company?

Xia Yu didn't explain, but Lao Xia knew that his son was rich, and they couldn't even spend a fraction of it when they came out this time, so there was no need to save, and besides, if the antiques were bought back, as long as the luck was not too bad, the appreciation would definitely be more than the depreciation.

As an experienced cloud collector, Lao Xia still has an understanding of the antique market, so he is also relieved to spend all the money boldly, even if his hands are still shaking, which is all excited.

"By the way, Xiaoyu, when we finally went to check out, Mr. Liu and we ran into each other again. ”

"Oh, what did he say?"

Xia Yu knew that there must be something here, so he hurriedly asked.

"He gave me a business card, I gave him one, and we just talked a little bit. ”

Lao Xia said and took out his wallet and handed the business card to his son.

The business card is very simple, just write Liu Yiqi's name, company position, and private phone number, this Liu boss wants to make friends with Lao Xia!

He said that he had photographed a set of blue and white flower cups at the 10th anniversary spring auction in Beijing Kuangshi in 16 years, and this time he wanted to shoot another set for a friend, but he didn't expect to meet such a competitor as me. ”

Liu Yiwei is telling the truth, if it is for himself, he will not care if the premium is one or two times, who will let the rich be capricious!

There is no need to buy a gift for a friend, and you can be just as happy to choose a friend, and even make another friend.

Lao Liu and Lao Xia should be regarded as peers, and it is not impossible to see each other.

"Then he didn't probe into our house?"

Xia Yu asked.

These perennial rich people are all old rivers and lakes, and they don't have a simple role, so they can take out a lot of words after looking at them and talking about them.

Xia Yu has been postponing meeting with these business tycoons for this reason before, and he can be regarded as exercising later, and people think that he is deep in the city and can't explore it to the end.

"Detective, in two sentences, I talked about my career from collection, I can only push you out. ”

Lao Xia himself has nothing to say, only his son can still handle it, so let's talk about his son!

This idea is right, avoid talking about yourself, only talk about the next generation, in line with Xia Yu's original personality for Lao Xia Li, smart people will not continue to ask, they will only contact Xia Yu's experience to make up for it, and finally come to the conclusion that Lao Xia is the boss behind Xia's catering.

After all, there are several successful second-generation entrepreneurs in this year.

Wang Xicong?

Don't, the people don't know, the people in the circle know that Xiong Meow is about to go out of business, and whether it will be delayed next year is a problem.

In comparison, Xia Yu is so young and so successful, there must be a problem behind this, and it is indispensable that it is another star-making plan, so as to harvest traffic on the Internet.

The conscience of heaven and earth, Xia Yu doesn't even have a scarf, how can he cut the traffic?

However, because it was on the list of 100 richest people in October, the overall turnover of Xiajia Pot showed an upward trend, and many people came to visit it, and they were circled after eating it once.

He said that you are my son, and he was fortunate to invite our family of three to his house in the magic capital to visit his art museum. ”

Rich people are hospitable, because most of their guests are also rich people, but Lao Liu still wants to know more about the Xia father and son.

"Okay, let's go back and take him to my car museum. ”

Come and don't be rude, Xia Yu is also very hospitable, but his car collection is not much, the total is less than one billion, and it is just a cup and a few paintings, so he still has to continue to fill the collection!

"Rich people are different, it's not ordinary people's eating and drinking, you have to come up with something real. ”

Lao Xia said with emotion that he had seen a lot this time and summed up some things.

Rich people mainly rely on play, and it is best to play to be famous.

Lao Liu is considered to have entered the house in the collection circle, and there are only a handful of people who can surpass him, Xia Yu can only be regarded as a backward, and there is still a long way to go, but he can go further than the upper limit until he becomes a real hero.

"Dad, I feel that you also have a talent for collecting, why don't you get a private art gallery for you?"

Xia Yu likes antiques, but he definitely doesn't like it as Lao Xia, so it's not bad to let Lao Xia help with some collections, it just so happens that he also has a private jet, which can let Lao Xia run around the world.

He doesn't treat Lao Xia as a tool, and it is a very valuable thing to be able to devote energy to what he likes.
