In a flash, more than ten days have passed, and there is only one week left before the Yunteng Spring Auction. Xue Chen also came to the company again to see if there is anything that needs him.
When he arrived at the company, he could feel a slight nervousness in the mood of the employees below. This spring auction was relatively large-scale, and the publicity expenses were five times the expected amount, and good efforts were made in other aspects.
If you succeed, everyone will be happy, but if you fail, you will be very depressed. After all, the company's performance is also related to the year-end bonus of every employee.
As soon as Xue Chen showed up and chatted with a few employees with a smile, Xia Yike called him to the office.
Pushing the door open and walking in, he saw Xia Yike leaning on a chair, facing the window, looking outside the building. Xue Chen sat down on a chair beside him and asked with a smile: "You are looking for me? What's wrong?"
Xia Yike turned his chair, faced Xue Chen, and said softly: "I have something I want to discuss with you."
"What's the matter?" Xue Chen also became a little interested.
"The collision angle of the Black Wolf... Well, I have also seen it, and it is planned to be the finale of the auction, but I have been thinking about one thing in the past two days, and that is how appropriate its starting price is." Xia Yike
asked.
The ten treasures from the Black Wolf's treasures had been transported to Haicheng City a week ago. She had seen them in person and was very satisfied. They were indeed rare and good things, which could greatly increase the value of the auction.
Seeing the horns of the Black Wolf pirate ship, which was huge and exuding a fierce aura, she was really shocked. However, horns were not a very common thing, and the market value was difficult to estimate specifically, and the starting price was not.
It's a good setting, but it's not suitable if it's too high or too low. For this reason, Xia Yike hesitated for a few days and couldn't make a decision. When he saw Xue Chen coming today, he called him over.
"The starting price, well, I think I'll just round it up, maybe 100 million." Xue Chen touched his chin, thought about it, and gave a number.
The estimated price of the Black Wolf pirate ship is 20 million US dollars, which is about 120 to 30 million US dollars. Generally speaking, the starting price will be 10% or 20% lower than the market price, so that the investors can take action.
Card desire.
"One hundred million?!"
Xia Yike's eyes flickered, and there was a hint of excitement in his heart. Items with a starting price of 100 million are rare in international auctions. The commission after a successful auction is also very considerable. Once the auction is successful, Yun will definitely be attracted by it.
Teng Auction goes up a few steps.
"But, I'm really worried about whether the auction will be unsold... I know the value of this thing, but is it possible that it has a price but no market?" Xia Yike said worriedly, one hundred million is not a million.
It's a small number. If it were her, she would definitely not spend 100 million to shoot this collision. Although she doesn't have that much money, this is her biggest worry.
"The auction failed? Don't worry, it won't happen. This friend of mine mentioned to some friends around me that many people will be interested in this corner and will come to bid. The starting price of 100 million is not high, and it will definitely not happen.
If the shot is not successful, just rest in your heart." Xue Chen comforted with a smile.
During this period, he and Andrew also talked on the phone several times, and learned that many of Andrew's friends were interested in these ten treasures from the Black Wolf. Among them, the items that attracted more attention were the British royal items, and
The most eye-catching thing is naturally the collision angle.
Andrew smiled and analyzed it with him. The horn is popular because it is very rare and symbolizes a piece of history.
What's more important is that the bumper is big and looks good when placed at home. When the bumper is placed in the living room, all the guests who visit will not exclaim when they see it. At this time, the owner can be very proud with his hands behind his back.
I took the guests to visit and introduced it, which was a great honor. This thing is precious and not tacky, but it is far more tempting than buying an oil painting of the same value.
After hearing this, Xue Chen only had one thought: Although people around the world have different cultures and languages, without exception, they all love saving face and like to show off.
After hearing what Xue Chen said, Xia Yike felt a little relieved and decided to start bidding at a price of 100 million. And for some reason, with Xue Chen's affirmative answer, she felt much more relaxed and at ease.
She glanced at Xue Chen, and couldn't help but think of what happened the last time the two of them were in this office together. Thinking of Xue Chen's sneaky and timid appearance, she hummed softly: "The starting price of 100 million is not enough.
High? Do you think it’s just a number in your mouth? How many wealthy businessmen in the eyes of the public may not be able to come up with such a sum of cash? Even a company with a valuation of several billion will fall into a huge situation due to a cash flow shortage of 100 million.
Crisis, there are countless such cases.”
"Okay, I'm ignorant." Xue Chen shrugged his shoulders. There was no need to argue about something that had nothing to do with the overall situation. He stood up and said a few words, "If there's nothing else, I'll go out first and won't bother you."
You, you must be very tired these days, don't be exhausted, get more rest, your body is the capital of revolution."
Seeing that Xue Chen stood up and walked to the door after caring about her for a few words, Xia Yike was silent for a few seconds. When the door was opened, she said lightly: "I don't dare to rest in the company casually, if someone does not invite me
Come into my office, do some things you shouldn't do, and watch some things you shouldn't see while I'm resting, hum."
Xue Chen, who was just about to go out, immediately stopped when he heard the words. He felt a little weak in his heart. When he turned around and saw the faint smile on Xia Yike's lips, he vaguely understood that he must have said that he had not run away.
I happened to catch a glimpse of the camera diagonally overhead that could cover the entire office.
For a moment, he didn't know whether he should leave or come back. He thought, how about an apology? Although he relied on his good willpower and self-discipline, he only glanced at it casually a few times.
I think there is a big gap between gangsters and voyeurs in the true sense. I also think that in that situation, it is still very difficult for a normal man to avoid looking at him.
But after just a few glances, it was just a look, and no matter how many reasons he gave, they were just excuses. He knew this very well in his heart, and he also knew very clearly that Po Datian himself was the one who was wronged after all, not to mention that the evidence was conclusive. After thinking about it,
He took back the foot he had just stepped out and closed the door.
When Xia Yike saw Xue Chen coming back, she still said in a calm tone: "Why, is there anything else?"
Xue Chen walked back, sat down on the chair again, scratched his head, and coughed lightly: "Well, what happened that day... I was indeed confused for a moment and made a mistake. I admit my mistake to you."
What a mistake, what a mistake, he couldn't help but feel a little depressed. Why didn't he notice that there was a camera installed in her office at that time? If he had known about it earlier, he would definitely not have looked at it. Why bother? Moreover, if it didn't work, he could find a way to cover it up.
Come on, control a piece of paper to fly over and block it, so it won't leave any traces.
Xia Yike had basically forgotten what happened that day. After all, strictly speaking, it was not a big deal. She watched the video carefully and found that only a small amount was exposed, which was almost the same as wearing a deep V-neck outfit.
When I thought of Xue Chen's troubled and peeking look, I actually felt a little proud in my heart.
But when she saw Xue Chen was about to leave, she suddenly brought it up. She didn't know why for a moment, so she said it.
What she didn't expect even more was that Xue Chen actually came back to admit his mistake and apologize to her? For a moment, she didn't know how to answer the question. There was still an unnatural blush on her cheeks and her eyes were flowing.
.
Xue Chen also wanted to understand. This is a lesson. In the future, you must remember not to be careless in anything you do. When encountering a similar situation last time, you must keep a clear mind. Can you leave it to yourself just because of impulse?
To avoid future troubles, please remind yourself... first check to see if there are any cameras around you.
There was silence in the office for a short while. Seeing Xia Yike sitting there in silence after he apologized, he stood up again: "Since you don't speak, just treat this matter as a matter of fact. I'll leave first.
See you later."
"Wait! I haven't let you go yet." Xia Yike stopped Xue Chen.
"I have already apologized to you, what else do you want? If you want me to be responsible for you, then I will reluctantly agree." Xue Chen said.
"Pour me a glass of water." Ignoring Xue Chen's joke, Xia Yike pointed to the direction of the water dispenser with her eyes.
Yes, people have to lower their heads under the eaves, so just fetch water. Xue Chen walked to the water dispenser, casually pulled out a disposable paper cup from the side, took a glass of water, walked back and placed it in front of Xia Yike.
Xia Yike picked up the water and took a sip, then frowned and said, "That's not right!"
"What's wrong?" Xue Chen was startled.
"It's different from the water you poured me last time." Xia Yike raised his eyes and looked directly at Xue Chen, his eyes flashing, "Let me ask you, did you put anything in the water glass?"
Hearing what she said, Xue Chen immediately understood. No wonder she suddenly asked him to pour water for no reason. It seemed that the glass of water he poured last time was drunk quickly after he left.
"Since you watched the video, you should have noticed that I didn't put anything into the water." Xue Chen said.
"Impossible, that glass of water is definitely not normal water, although I don't know what you did." Xia Yike said categorically. She can't forget the taste of that glass of water now, it penetrates to her bones.
She still suffers from insomnia on weekdays, especially when the work pressure is high, and she sleeps very lightly at night, but that night she slept extremely soundly, and she was almost late.
She was very sure that it was the effect of that glass of water.
"Xue Chen, tell me truthfully, that glass of water...what exactly did you do? If you don't tell me, I won't forgive you!" (To be continued)
