Chapter 799 The Private Auction Ends
The most familiar name of all is undoubtedly Sumarokov. Recalling the circumstances related to him, this guy's biggest characteristic is: he is extremely lucky.
At the same time, thinking about myself and Brother Jincheng, something seemed to flash through my mind, but I still couldn't grasp the clue.
I definitely have impressions of the other people. In other words, I recognize this person alone when he is in front of me. Say the name and you will know. If the two were put together, it would probably be difficult to match them.
After thinking it over, Jun Qingqing used the "note transmission" to tell her husband her concerns and guesses, not only to remind him to be careful, but also to point out that they should communicate with each other in time if they found anything wrong.
I would like to emphasize that the things in the space ring should be used as needed. After all, we made them ourselves and there is no reason to be reluctant to give them up.
And the little girl has a backup plan, yes, it is the whip that the other person wears on his wrist as a decoration.
In addition to being able to drive directly by inserting the array stone into the groove without the internal energy of ancient martial arts, a positioning device is also implanted in the ring position. The thing is exchanged from the [Interstellar Plane]. When it detects that the holder is in danger, it will not only send a warning to the other end, but also accurately transmit and locate.
What's more, he had the flying boat purchased from the [Xiu Xian Plane] and could easily fly to the United States. This was not without precedent.
Obviously, she didn't tell Bai Jincheng all this in detail. In fact, she was worried that the man might be implicated at the critical moment and so she simply threw the bracelet away.
By the way, it seems to mention something related to an auction. I heard that the Roosevelt family is the organizer. It is hard not to think of James, whom I met in Hong Kong. He collected all kinds of rare antiques and sent them to the United States. David and he have the same origin, so it is estimated that the origin of the things is already very obvious.
As for the additional condition that it can be replaced with liquid medicine, there is no such thing as "seems to be aimed at China". Be more confident and remove the "seems".
This was exactly what the couple wanted. They studied how much money and gold should be taken with them. Finally, Jun Qingqing made the decision. Since the medicine was so popular, they prepared a small box with about thirty bottles in it as a backup.
In recent years, the price of a bottle of body-quenching liquid that used to cost several thousand yuan at the Si Family Auction House in the Ancient Martial Domain has more than doubled tenfold, not to mention abroad.
But there is still a difference. The degree of dilution of the medicine taken out is similar to that of Sumarokov's bottle, but it still works for outsiders and is a better thing.
Therefore, we would like to emphasize: if the problem can be solved with medicine, don’t waste your money.
The couple had absolutely the same idea on this matter. Bai Jincheng also planned to use medicine to get through the obstacles if the finale item of the private auction could not be obtained successfully, or if all the Chinese-related cultural relics could not be successfully retrieved.
In the blink of an eye, it was the day of the auction. Bai Jincheng and Sumarokov lived next to each other in the hotel rooms. They were both interested in the event hosted by the Roosevelt family in the afternoon, so it was natural for them to arrive together.
Although it was a private event, it took up the entire conference hall, and the seats for a hundred people downstairs were apparently almost full.
As for the dozen or so private rooms on the second floor, most of them had lights on, indicating that someone was there.
The invitation was handed out and the waiter respectfully invited the two to go upstairs.
After they were seated, and as there was still some time before the auction began, Sumarokov took the initiative to introduce the guests or the relationships between their families clearly. For example, Room 9 was reserved for the Roosevelt family for their own use, for the simple reason that it was in the middle of the venue, with the DuPont and Rockefeller families on the left and right respectively.
The former is the one who can suppress our organizer in terms of ancient martial arts strength.
Now Bai Jincheng is even more certain that the people around him are indeed extraordinary. They can easily transport goods across the border between the two countries, can make decisions without being the head of the family, and can find out all kinds of information in a very short time after arriving in the United States.
Being perceptive to begin with, he quickly noticed the other person's change in mood and continued talking without delay.
In this regard, we had anticipated several possible consequences as early as when we decided to make friends with China. So he said at the end: "Don't worry, I told you so much just to improve our relationship. When we can buy the liquid medicine, the Rotenberg family can have priority for a little consideration."
After the Bear Country ancient martial arts competition ended, he decided to further study Chinese culture and language. Now it seems that the results are absolutely remarkable.
In the process of communication, the essence of how to deal with people is figured out to be about 70% to 80%.
Then he continued, "Besides that, after a few interactions with you and your wife, I inexplicably had the illusion of wanting to get closer to you. From childhood to adulthood, including my family, the number of people who have made me feel this way can be counted on one hand."
After listening to this, Bai Jincheng just nodded, neither saying whether he believed it nor whether he did not believe it.
But as the two of them talked and exchanged later, the atmosphere became obviously more harmonious.
In the blink of an eye, the auction has begun. The first few items to attract attention are nothing more than gems, crowns, etc.
It was not until the fifth item was presented that it was placed in a long box. As the waiter slowly opened it, the entire scroll came into view of everyone in the audience.
Bai Jincheng suddenly stood up, and after careful confirmation, he clenched his fists and stared straight ahead. That’s right, that was Yan Liben’s “Pictures of Emperors of All Dynasties”.
From now until the end, except for three inconspicuous items mixed in, the rest are all national-level cultural relics of China.
As expected, he took all the money, spending a total of more than 300,000 British francs.
When Jun Qingqing went to Hong Kong, she helped him to open an international bank account. Before leaving the country, 500,000 beautiful RMB were deposited into the account without making a fuss, so payment was very convenient and was settled on the spot.
When the velvet cloth covering the last piece was removed, it turned out to be exactly the same as the rumors said, a sheep's head, one of the twelve animal heads.
Seeing that the price was almost one million, Bai Jincheng pressed the service button in the room. After the waiter came in, he immediately pointed out that he needed to negotiate privately with the owner to exchange the item.
The host received a hand signal from the person in charge, indicating that the bidding could not continue. Everyone knew that priority had emerged.
In the end, both parties successfully reached an agreement on the price of twenty-one bottles of medicine.
Obviously, he didn't have anything on him at all times, so he said he would be sent to the hotel, with the item in one hand and the medicine in the other.
Steven showed up at the right time to ensure that the rest of the lots would be delivered safely at the same time.
Sumarokov, who had been watching the whole thing, was shocked. He never expected that the other party would be so rude.
I don't care about money, but I can easily get twenty bottles of medicine. It would be a lie to say I'm not envious.
The two said goodbye to each other at the door of the hotel room, but before opening the door, they heard a suggestion like the sound of nature: "If you follow the old method and can get the delivery channel, I can help you get less than 15. I don't know the specific price, I have to go home and ask my wife."
This was an unexpected surprise, so he nodded and agreed: "Don't worry, I will definitely not let you suffer any loss."
About half an hour later, I heard a knock on the door again. It turned out to be someone coming to deliver what I had won at the auction.
