The suite that Xue Chen stayed in was also on the fifth floor. It only took a few steps to get there. After returning to his room, he simply washed up. When he walked out of the bathroom, he saw Gao Dewei back. He was not alone yet. He brought something with him.
A young woman with very fair skin couldn't help but smile and shook her head.
Lying down on the bed, he could clearly see the sea and night view outside. After a while, Xue Chen fell asleep.
But in the other room, Edward couldn't sleep, and so did Jessica and Dawson.
Edward sat on the sofa calmly, with a large bandage on his head to stop the bleeding, and his face had been washed. His face looked very bad, with a hint of blue and black in the paleness, as if
A dark cloudy sky before a heavy rain.
While Jessica sat silently beside him, Dawson also briefly checked his body. There were bruises, redness, and swelling in seven or eight places all over his body, large contusions, and he could even feel that two ribs were cracked.
Who would have thought that it would be slapped twice by a person. It looks more like being hit by a car. Every part of the body is in pain. But now I can only simply bandage it and take some painkillers. It needs to wait.
After the cruise returns tomorrow, we will return to land and go to the hospital for better diagnosis and treatment.
Edward played with the copper bullet in his hand, his brows knitted into a knot, and as soon as he closed his eyes, the scene at that time flashed through his head.
Just forget it? He was really unwilling to do so, but what else could he do? God, he can even withstand bullets, what else can be done to deal with him? The most important thing is that the Eye of God has been damaged.
The die is done and there is no way to recover the losses.
"Dad, let this matter go. I have been in contact with him more often, and I have a feeling that he may not only show us his abilities, but there is no benefit in continuing." Jessica said hesitantly.
After speaking, she sighed and shook her head. After what happened today, she completely lost her fighting spirit to retaliate against Xue Chen.
"Then it's over like this?" Edward asked, his tone full of reluctance. He stood up and walked to the window, looking at the deep night outside, "No, we definitely can't let it go. The Eye of God should belong to
I belong to our Kemeang family..."
"However, the Eye of God has been damaged. I think it is probably because only one person can obtain the power of the Eye of God." Jessica said.
At this time, Dawson suddenly said: "Is it possible to draw this person over, give him a large sum of money, and become your subordinate? I think such a... person will definitely be very useful to your career.
of."
"Win over... subordinates..." Edward squinted his eyes and took a few steps in front of the window. He seemed to be thinking about Dawson's proposal. He thought that if Xue Chen really became his subordinate and was as loyal as Dawson, then it would indeed be a good thing.
The happy event was perfect, after all, he himself did not have the ability to discover the Eye of God, and his subordinates were all black and white.
Although he hated what Xue Chen had done, he had to admit in his heart that this was their first official meeting. This young man was not simple, he was very outstanding.
But Edward paused, frowned and shook his head, "Do you think he will be won over so easily? Although it's not clear yet, I think since he has those incredible abilities, will he be short of money?"
"This... I'm confused." Dawson sighed.
"It's impossible to use money to win him over and become my subordinate." Edward pursed his lips tightly, feeling anxious because of the beautiful idea just now, but it seemed difficult to do it, so he took a few steps again, suddenly, inadvertently
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw his daughter Jessica sitting quietly on the sofa.
The soft white light shines on Jessica's face, reflecting a moving luster like pearls. Her beautiful and moving facial features can only be described as a masterpiece of God. Her figure is graceful and graceful, and her toned legs are straight and slender. They are so beautiful.
Flawless.
Jessica Kermeon, he, Edward's pride.
"After all, subordinates are just subordinates. It's a money transaction. It's unreliable. Maybe there can be another way..."
Jessica heard her father say something as if to himself. When she looked over, she saw her father looking at her, his eyes flashing. She was about to ask what was wrong? But the next moment,
With a keen mind, she thought of what her father had just said, and suddenly her heart trembled, realizing what her father might be planning...
Early the next morning, the cruise ship Oriental Narcissus began its return voyage, preparing to send tourists back to land. Of course, if you are not fully satisfied, you can still stay.
Xue Chen and Gao Dewei had a simple breakfast and stood on the deck, feeling refreshed by the cool sea breeze.
Seeing Gao Dewei next to him yawning heavily and still looking a little tired, Xue Chen smiled and teased: "Brother Gao, you are quite old. You should take it easy and go back and eat a few more boxes of Liuwei Dihuang Pills.
Make up for it.”
Gao Dewei was not embarrassed and laughed generously: "You're looking down on me, aren't you? My body is fine, no need for supplements!"
"Really? But it looks like your face is ordinary, as if you haven't had a good rest." Xue Chen said again with a smile.
Gao Dewei chuckled: "This... well, it was an accident. It was just an accident. That little girl is really capable of making trouble."
When they were about to reach the sea near the port, tourists who were about to disembark walked to the deck one after another.
A waiter walked through the crowd and walked to Xue Chen and Gao Dewei. He handed over a card: "Mr. Xue, this is from Mr. Tang. He said that you won him yesterday and promised to give you a gift."
, this is the earl-level membership card of the Oriental Narcissus, and all purchases are 30% off.”
"Oh." Xue Chen reached out and took it. Tang Chaohan did say that if he lost, he would exchange the chips and leave. If he won, he would give him a big gift as compensation.
After taking a look at the card in his hand, Xue Chen turned around and stuffed it into Gao Dewei's hand: "I guess I won't get on this ship again. Brother Gao, just take it and use it."
Gao Dewei was not polite and pocketed it directly.
And all this was seen by Tang Chaohan standing at the other end of the deck. Standing together were Cai Youde and Zhao Heng. Both of them looked very unhappy, especially Zhao Heng, who basically came to Dongfang every year.
I have been on the Narcissus three or four times, but I only managed to get a Baron-level membership card through my connections, and I could only get a 10% discount on my purchases.
When they were about to arrive at the port, the Oriental Narcissus stopped on the sea, and the tourists on the ship took the elevator in batches and boarded the speedboats back to the shore of the port.
After landing on the shore and returning to the car, Gao Dewei immediately said that he would have a good rest in the hotel today, and the auction would be tomorrow. He was mentally recharged and prepared to show off his talents at the auction, and he was determined to win the poetic album of Qiuying.
.
The specific location of the Fuji Spring Auction is in the same hotel as the preview. The preview of the auction items is in the exhibition hall on the 18th floor of Hong Kong Ginza Hotel, while the auction is held in the multi-functional conference hall on the 12th floor.
The hall, which covers an area of thousands of square meters, has hundreds of chairs neatly arranged. People participating in the auction entered the venue through security with the certificates they obtained in advance, and also received an auction number plate.
According to the seat numbers, Xue Chen and Gao Dewei found their seats and sat down, then quietly waited for the auction to begin.
"This is my first time to participate in such a large-scale auction." Xue Chen said.
"Hey, I don't usually come here. What I collect is small. A few million dollars is considered good. In this case, even if it's an eyesore, you won't be able to compensate much." Gao Dewei said.
More and more people came to the venue. When the auction was about to start, there were almost seven or eight people sitting in the venue. The men were in suits and leather shoes, and the women were elegantly dressed. They were covered with pearls and diamonds. They were either rich or noble.
.
When the time came, a dignified-looking woman wearing a black women's suit walked onto the auction stage, stood behind the auction stage, and smiled slightly towards the audience.
"Welcome friends from all over the world to participate in the spring auction held by our company, Fuji International Auction. I am the auctioneer...my auctioneer number is...I uphold the principle of fairness and justice in this auction...
…I hope it can bring you good luck and return home with great success…”
After a long phone call, the auction officially began!
Click.
The big screen on the auction stage lit up, showing a high-definition picture of a piece of porcelain.
"The first lot, No. 0001, is a green plum porcelain crane-patterned box from the Longquan kiln of the Southern Song Dynasty. This collection..."
Everyone looked at the big screen on the stage and looked at the first collection. After a brief and quick introduction, the auctioneer started bidding. The base price was 5.2 million.
"The gentleman at No. 98 bids 5.5 million."
"The lady on the 31st increased her price by 300,000, and offered 5.8 million."
The female auctioneer had sharp eyes and spoke quickly. She conducted the auction calmly and orderly. The prices were rising steadily, and the atmosphere in the venue gradually became heated.
"The gentleman No. 325 bid 7.2 million, 7.2 million. Is there any higher price? Does anyone want to bid on this Southern Song Dynasty green plum porcelain? 7.2 million, 700
Two hundred thousand once, seven million two hundred thousand twice, seven million two million three times.”
boom.
The female auctioneer knocked down the hammer in her hand.
This exquisite Southern Song Dynasty porcelain fell into the hands of others, but the price was not low, 7.2 million, which was 2 million higher than the auction price, and it also reached the peak of the market price.
One by one, the auction items were presented like running water, and the prices of the auction items continued to rise, rising from several million to tens of millions. The atmosphere in the scene became more and more heated and restless.
"Collection No. 001, a fine poetic picture album of Qiu Ying from the four Ming dynasties, a total of sixteen volumes, starting price, 72 million!"
When this item with a starting price of over 70 million appeared, it immediately became the item with the highest starting price, and the venue became a little noisy.
Gao Dewei rubbed his hands and grinned: "It's finally my turn to take action." (To be continued)
