Si Yingjie is a typical second-generation rich. His father took advantage of the situation to expand the family business. His sisters studied hard abroad and joined the company after returning. It was a good opportunity for the new generation. The whole family is thriving and has a bright future.
As the son born in later years, his parents inevitably favor him, and he would have been subject to internal strife and quarrels like the Jiang family. However, he is a lazy person with no interest in the company. His goal in life is to play around.
Sisters: "Good brother!"
Apart from a big setback in his marriage, Si Yingjie's life was generally smooth.
I go skiing in the summer and surfing in the winter. When I have nothing to do, I go to the Arctic to see the aurora, take a hot air balloon across the ocean, and occasionally go camping in the mountains and visit the Antarctic research station.
In addition, I am also willing to participate in some niche activities, such as ghost hunting tours in the suburbs of Europe, spending a day and a night on a prison island, etc.
This auction was held in a club he signed up for four, five or six years ago (I can’t remember exactly). Members can bring their own collections to the club and ask others to appraise them, and they can also trade with each other, which is very free and easy.
According to Si Yingjie, he initially joined the club to buy gifts for his mother, but later found it quite fun and never quit.
The club is held from time to time, and each time it is hosted by a different member. You can join if you are free, and there is no entry threshold. However, different organizers have different ideas, and the style is different every time.
Usually, the transactions are anonymous - sometimes, some of the collections come from less formal sources. All you need is an invitation, whether it's stolen, borrowed or acquired in some way.
Not to mention Si Yingjie, even Jian Jing found it funny.
The anonymous auction is very much like a plot in a fantasy novel.
We took the flight with great anticipation and arrived at the dock in an hour and a half. Then, we boarded the luxury yacht that the organizer had moored at the seaside in advance, ready to head to the destination of the auction - the high seas.
The yacht is very large, more than 150 meters long, with a total of 20 guest rooms and can accommodate more than 60 crew members. The ship is also equipped with multi-functional facilities such as an open-air swimming pool, helipad, private cinema, gym, sauna and spa.
In a nutshell: luxury.
Each room inside is themed after a different country.
Jian Jing chose a room in an English castle. The fireplace and armchairs reminded her of the common room in Harry Potter.
On the table above, there was a rabbit badge and an instruction manual for using the yacht.
Of course, there is also an introduction to this trade fair.
The public trade fair starts at 8 pm every day. Guests can go to the lobby on the third floor of the yacht to participate. There are appraisers invited by the organizers to help appraise and refer to prices. They can also find other people to trade with on their own, without any constraints or responsibilities.
The only thing you need to pay attention to is that it is best not to reveal your true identity, and everything should be called by a code name.
This year's guests are named after the Chinese zodiac, and there are exactly twelve guests.
Naturally, the one Jian Jing got was the “Rabbit”.
"So mysterious." Although he complained, he also found it very funny. He changed his clothes and prepared to go to the bar to get some food.
The bar is on the fifth floor, facing the open-air swimming pool.
The temperature today was over 20 degrees Celsius and the sun was shining brightly. As soon as I stepped onto the deck, I found that there was already someone in the swimming pool.
From the back, it looks like a young man with a healthy wheat-colored skin. Under the sparkling pool water, the lines of his shoulders, neck and waist are smooth and strong, and he looks very beautiful.
He paused for a moment and silently took out his cell phone.
When the camera was turned on, the other party had already swam to the other side, suddenly grabbed my penis, and jumped out of the water. Crystal clear water droplets splashed, flowing down along the lines of my muscles, winding and winding, and finally sank below my waist.
Nice for the eyes.
You can shoot instantly with just a press of your finger without any command from your brain.
Blue sky, blue sea, chest muscles and abdominal muscles.
Brother Yingjie is so nice.
I like Si Yingjie more and more.
Jian Jing happily sat down at the bar and ordered a glass of mango sago. While waiting, she posted the photo she had just taken to her circle of friends.
The drink was brought to me immediately. I took a sip and suddenly felt something was wrong.
Why are there so many red dots on WeChat? When Ximi looked down, he almost choked.
I didn't notice just now, but it's not limited to the girls group, it's open to the public.
It's over.
Jian Jing: Ah~~

Kang Lei: I think it’s good.

Ji Feng replied to Ji Yunyun: Minors should be careful
Ji Yunyun: I’m eighteen now in 2 months, dear brother
Ji Feng replied to Ji Yunyun: Why are you playing with your phone during class
Ji Yunyun: What are you playing with your phone for in class
Ji Feng: Teacher Jian, let me know about the crime of spreading obscene materials.
Jian Jing: “…”
I quietly deleted the circle of friends and pretended nothing happened.
But Jiang Baiyan immediately sent a photo over, indignantly saying: [Teacher Jingjing is too much, as if everyone doesn’t have abdominal muscles! ! ]
Then I refreshed the inventory pictures.
Jian Jing's indifferent face: [I've seen them all]
he:[????]
Jian Jing: [Director Mei sent it to me, along with the behind-the-scenes footage]
Jiang Baiyan: [Are domestic flowers not as fragrant as wild flowers?]
Jian Jing said with a guilty conscience: [None of them smell good]
He: [tears.jpg]
The next one is the monsoon.
He sent Article 363 of the Criminal Law.
Jian Jing: [Then come and catch me]
Monsoon: […]
Jian Jing: [I didn’t see it, why do you care so much?]
He was quiet too.
Next came Mr. Kang of course.
He probably thought about it for a long time before he said tactfully: [Be careful]
Jian Jing pretended to be dumb: [I won’t fall into the sea. If I fall into the sea, I will be able to save myself. Don’t worry]
It showed that it was being input, but it didn't come out after half a day.
Instead, Si Yingjie came over and asked: [Is it fun?]
Jian Jing sent him an awesome emoticon.
it is more than words.
"Hi." While I was playing with my phone, the handsome guy with abs came over and started a conversation, "Are you here to attend the trade fair too?"
Jian Jing looked up and saw his appearance clearly. He had a typical mixed-race look, handsome and generous. His looks did not drag down his figure, nor did they overshadow his appearance. He was a handsome boy who was refreshing, comfortable and very likable.
To such a person, I am willing to answer even nonsense: "Yeah, what about you?"
"Me too." He said with a smile, "Wu Ma, where are you?"
Jian Jing: "Rabbit."
"It's really a code name for love." Wu Ma started chatting casually, "Are you here to sell things or to buy things?"
Jian Jing said: "I want to buy some interesting collections."
Wu Ma was very enthusiastic: "What kind of collection? Age? Country?"
He shook his head and smiled, "I have no idea at all, I'm just looking around - is this your first time here?"
"The second time," he said. "The last time was three years ago. I came with a friend at that time. I helped him find some very good things. Maybe I can help you, too."
The handsome young man Wu Ma laughed, his eyes sly: "Just tell me what you want, and I can help you find out. Porcelain and sculpture are my areas of expertise. If you trust me, I can also help you take a look."
Jian Jing understood: "How much do I need to pay?"
"For pretty ladies, only a little bit." He rubbed his nose and made a dipping gesture, "Five thousand dollars, fixed price, don't worry about the transaction price being negotiated with me, one more order will add one thousand dollars."
Jian Jing asked, "What if I don't choose the right one?"
"Then let's be friends." Wu Ma spread his hands, "It's not a loss for me."
Jian Jing had just arrived and was indeed confused, but it was also good to have a handsome guy to guide her.
He nodded and said, "I want to know what they are."
Wu Ma smiled and said, "Miss Rabbit, you are very lucky. This year, you have some very valuable collections."
An expression of listening attentively.
"This is a loose club. Although there are many members, most of them are either rich or noble. However, especially precious antiques will still be handed over to large auction houses, which is safer and more secure."
Talking about work, Wu Ma immediately showed his professionalism: "I think the transactions in the club are more like 'fun'. This treasure appraisal game full of uncertainty is very interesting. Sometimes I can really buy some rare antiques on the market. No one will take the real treasures and use them as game props."
He glanced at Jian Jing and lowered his voice: "But this year - I'm not sure if the news is true, but I vaguely heard that someone brought a national treasure to the trade fair."
Jian Jing was shocked: "Is it true?"
"No one knows. It's just rumors. Most of the time, it's false. Only in a few cases..." He paused and said with a smile, "To be honest, although I heard this, I don't believe it. Sometimes this kind of news is meant to stimulate the guests' gambling desire. Miss Rabbit, I suggest that you don't take it seriously. It would be more appropriate to make this a sea party."
This advice was very sincere, and Jian Jing couldn't help but feel a little favorable towards him: "I think so, but you haven't got to the point yet."
Wu Ma smiled, looking quite charming in the sea breeze: "Then I'll tell you what I know."
"The collections at the fair fall into several categories: 1. Genuine antiques. They come from all over the world and are of varying ages. Generally speaking, they are worth tens of thousands to millions, and are not too expensive. 2. Some collections with special significance. This range is very wide. Once someone sold a famous movie star's personal belongings. The value varies from person to person. 3. Some special movable and immovable properties. Usually, they are traded between acquaintances and will not appear in public."
Jian Jing finally had a general idea.
asked: "Where can I go to see other people's collections?"
"Everwhere." Wu Ma picked up the T-shirt that was thrown aside and put it on casually, "Follow me."
Inexplicably, Jian Jing regretted not bringing a swimsuit. She bought it for Mermaid Island, but after such a long time, she had never had the chance to wear it.
Chouchang followed Wu Ma down the stairs and entered the fourth floor area.
There are restaurants and cafes here. It's not mealtime yet, so there are only a few people sitting in the cafe.
At the round table by the window, three people were admiring an exquisite Easter egg.
Jian Jing: In which work have I seen this prop
"It's a very exquisite egg." The old man in the middle, wearing a Tang suit and gloves, carefully observed it with a magnifying glass and said slowly, "Although it is not a work of Fabergé, it is just an imitation of another jeweler at the same time, but it is well preserved. I think it is also a good choice as an ordinary collection."
He had a monkey badge on his hand, looking like an appraiser.
The delicately made-up woman sitting next to me said, "If you want Fabergé's work, I also have one of his cigarette cases, made in London."
There was a badge of the Sheep on his chest, and from his tone he sounded like the seller.
Finally, there was the middle-aged man with a pig badge on his waist, who was picking and choosing: "Isn't there the famous Imperial Easter egg?"
The old man Shen Hougong said: "It is too rare. Almost all of them are collected in museums. Even if they are privately owned, they will not be traded here."
Haizhu seemed to be attending the fair for the first time, so he asked, "Is this fair so low-end? I came here because I heard that there were national treasures this time."
