After parking the car, Ye Dong and Qin Xueqing took the elevator until they reached the top of the building. The elevator opened, and five dazzling golden characters appeared in front of them - Guangfu Club.
The doorway is decorated with antiques, and there are two exceptionally tall men standing on one left and one on the right. Both men are burly and have sharp eyes. Every customer standing at the door feels like they are being looked down upon.
"Two distinguished guests, please show your identity." The man on the left said to the two of them.
Qin Xueqing took out a golden card from Xiaokun's bag and handed it to the man. The man's sharp eyes swept over the card, and he respectfully handed the card back to Qin Xueqing. He stretched out his hand and made a standard invitation gesture, "Ms.
, sir, please.”
Qin Xueqing nodded slightly to the two of them and entered the auction hall with ease. Ye Dong hugged a big box and followed Qin Xueqing without missing a step.
Entering the auction hall, looking around, I saw full seats going from the front desk to the back, and the seats were getting higher and higher. At this time, there were already many people sitting in the hall.
Qin Xueqing led Ye Dong around the seats and came to a small room on the right. Then Qin Xueqing pushed the door open without anyone noticing.
"Who is it? You are not polite at all. You didn't even knock on the door." An old voice in the room complained.
"Grandpa Cai, when Xueqing comes to see you, do you still need to knock on the door?" Qin Xueqing asked in a soft voice.
"I wonder who is so bold, it turns out to be girl Xue Qing." A bald old man in the room put his reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and looked at Qin Xueqing with a smile, "It's really incredible, Xue Qing is really getting better and better.
It’s so charming, even this old man like me is a little tempted.”
"Grandpa Cai is disrespectful, so be careful if I go to Grandma Sixth to sue you." Qin Xueqing scolded, and her little daughter's attitude was clearly revealed.
"No, please don't." The old man waved his hand to beg for mercy, "I'm not afraid that your sixth grandma will spank me, but I'm afraid that she will cut off my drink."
At this time, the old man turned his attention to Ye Dong.
"Well, you little girl, you won't tell my old man if you have a boyfriend, so I can identify it for you. Today's young people are not trustworthy at all. You girl, be careful of being defrauded of money and sex.
"The old man became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, and it seemed that he didn't want to see Ye Dong at all from his expression.
"Grandpa Cai, you're here again." Qin Xueqing found a chair, sat down, and signaled Ye Dong to sit next to her. "Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Cai, I have my own sense of discretion. If there is such a little
Handsome guy, if you want to deceive me for money and sex, that's fine. I'm very happy with it. But, Grandpa Cai, there's no chance for someone like you. You'd better go home and hold Grandma Six's little feet.
Let’s go on New Year’s Eve.”
"You little girl, you are still the same as before, your mouth is not forgiving at all." After being ignored by Qin Xueqing for a while, the old man was obviously in a good mood.
"Let's get down to business, Grandpa Cai, help my friend appraise a collection." Qin Xueqing said with a serious expression.
"What collection? Take it out. What other decent collections can your kid have?" Mr. Cai Liu said casually after taking a sip of strong tea.
Qin Xueqing winked at Ye Dong, who immediately stood up, walked to the table, and opened the big box containing the birthday cake. A purple-red wooden sculpture of Maitreya Buddha suddenly appeared in front of the old man.
Mr. Cai Liu immediately narrowed his eyes to a slit and stared at Maitreya Buddha without blinking through his thick lenses. He stretched out his two big, skinny hands and carefully stroked the wood carving.
But there was no expression at all on his face, which was as sharp as a stone carving.
After a while, Mr. Cai Liu put his nose close to the wooden sculpture and took a deep breath greedily, with a look of intoxication on his face.
Qin Xueqing watched the old man's every move nervously. She didn't know why. She was worried about Ye Dong. She was very afraid that the old man would tell even half a lie. Ye Dong, on the other hand, had a calm face and looked at Mr. Cai Liu with a smile.
.
"How is it? Grandpa Cai, this wood carving..." Qin Xueqing asked aloud.
Mr. Cai Liu ignored her and instead looked at Ye Dong, "Young man, that's right. It's rare for you to find a genuine product. Go ahead and give me a price. I'll accept this wooden sculpture. As long as the price is reasonable.
, it is easy for us to negotiate this deal."
Ye Dong glanced at him coldly, stood up and came to Master Cai Liu, reached out to take the wooden sculpture from his hand, and pulled Qin Xueqing's arm, "Sister Xueqing, he doesn't know the goods, let's find another one."
Qin Xueqing felt that her head was a little confused. What on earth was Ye Dong going to do? Grandpa Cai obviously said it was genuine, why did he react so much?
"Stop, young man, business cannot be done without justice. What do you mean by what you just said? Who do you think doesn't know the goods?" Mr. Cai Liu also got angry.
Ye Dong turned around, looked at Master Cai Liu and said coldly: "I want to ask Master Cai Liu a question."
"explain."
"What is the business purpose of your Kwong Fook Bank?"
"Of course I am a child."
"Okay, that's good." Ye Dong sneered, "But what did you, Mr. Cai Liu, do?"
"..."
The old man was immediately speechless by the question, and his little plan was exposed in public. Even through the intricate wrinkles on his old face, people could still see the blush between the wrinkles.
Mr. Cai Liu coughed twice, stood up and left his large armchair, calling to Ye Dong and Qin Xueqing, "Xueqing, why don't you hurry up and ask your little lover to sit down? We have something to do and sit down slowly to talk."
How could someone as smart as Qin Xueqing fail to see what cleverness this pair of old and young foxes were playing. However, she rolled her eyes at Mr. Cai Liu angrily and went to make tea by herself.
Cai Liuye was so bored that he had to go and ask Ye Dong to sit down. He also made Ye Dong a cup of tea. The tea was West Lake Longjing before the Qingming Festival. The tea was put into a glass and poured with boiling water. There was an immediate aroma.
The fragrant smell filled the room.
"I'm just kidding you, why are you running?" Mr. Cai Liu handed the tea to Ye Dong and said with a careful smile.
Without reaching out to hit the smiling man, Ye Dong took the tea cup and said, "Master Cai Liu, we Mingren don't say anything secretly in front of us. I plan to auction this sandalwood sculpture from an old Indian mountain. Can you give me an estimate of the price?"
"How do you know this is the Indian Lao Shantan?" Mr. Cai Liu was extremely surprised, his eyes widened like two bull's eyes.
"Because there are two old mountain sandalwood trees planted in front of my house." Ye Dong looked at Mr. Cai Liu with a smile, his eyes filled with a hint of jealousy.
The old man suddenly felt like a deflated rubber ball. He smiled wryly and glanced at Qin Xueqing. His expression seemed to be saying, how can you bring me a winner? This guy is as shrewd as a little fox.
Mr. Cai Liu looked greedily at the Maitreya Buddha in Ye Dong's hand, and extended an index finger to him with some regret.
"One million!?" Qin Xueqing said in shock.
The old man glanced at her lightly, with no expression on his old face.
"Sixth Master should mean ten million to one million." Ye Dongyun said calmly.
The old man felt that he was really defeated this time. Even the naughty mentality that survived in his heart disappeared completely. He cursed in his heart: This kid can read other people's minds. What a monster!
"One thousand...one million!" Qin Xueqing opened her mouth in shock.
Ye Dong smiled at Sister Xueqing, his expression seemed to be saying, now you should believe that my sandalwood carving is genuine, right?
"If your auction house can bid up to 10.7 million, I might consider selling this wooden sculpture to you." Ye Dong smiled at Cai Liuye.
Mr. Cai Liu helplessly shook his head, and sighed: "Young man, all the agencies have asked you to do it. It would be a shame to not open an auction house yourself."
Ye Dong laughed and took a sip of Longjing tea. It was indeed very good, and tasted like before the Qingming Festival.
In the following time, the auction went smoothly. Ye Dong's Indian Laoshan Tan Maitreya Buddha wood sculpture sold for a sky-high price of 13 million, which was 2 million higher than Cai Liuye's estimate.
After income tax, completing various related procedures with the auction hall, and deducting various related expenses, there is still a full 10 million left.
From beginning to end of the auction, Qin Xueqing sat next to Ye Dong. Every time the bidders increased their bids, she felt like she was in a dream. It wasn't until the deal of thirteen million was completed that she carefully pulled Ye Dong out of the auction hall and looked left and right.
When there was no one around, he put his mouth to Ye Dong's ear and asked Ye Dong if he had stolen the wooden sculpture.
Ye Dong took out his mobile phone and dialed Aunt Liu Xiaolan's number directly. In order to show his innocence, he also deliberately turned on the speaker phone.
Listening to Ye Dong's conversation with the middle-aged woman on the phone, Qin Xueqing felt relieved. What Ye Dong said was actually true. The wooden sculpture worth more than 10 million was actually given to him by the patient's mother.
of.
When the auction ended and the buyer started to transfer money, he encountered a problem because classmate Ye Dong did not have a bank card at all. It was not that he did not have a bank card. Shen Yaxuan once gave him a bank card when he was on the train. Of course Ye Dong
Dong didn't even know that it was a credit card because he had never used it and didn't care about it at all.
"Sister Xueqing, please help me. I can transfer the ten million to your card. You know, I don't have an ID card at all, let alone a bank card." Ye Dong said to Qin Xueqing.
"Ye Dong, are you kidding? That's 10 million. Do you trust me so much? Aren't you afraid that I will take the money and abscond?" Qin Xueqing said angrily.
"Don't be afraid, I know Sister Xueqing is not that kind of person. In fact, if you really take the money and abscond, I will be very happy. In that case, I will have a reason to spank you." Ye Dong said with a smile.
"Are you seeking death?" Qin Xueqing blushed and kicked Ye Dong hard.
The scheming Mr. Cai Liu stood aside, looking at the young man and woman with envy, but thought to himself: "How come I haven't met a kind person who is willing to transfer 10 million to my account?"
