Chapter 693: The Auction Begins

"Mr. Qin, I finally got in touch with you. If I can't get in touch again, I think I'm going to call the police." Marion Cook, the manager of the auction house, let out a long sigh.

"Sorry, some personal matters have been delayed recently. I didn't realize that the auction was about to start until yesterday. No, I flew to Eagle Kingdom immediately." Qin Heqing said in a somewhat embarrassed tone.

"Is Mr. Qin already in Eagle Country?"

"Yes."

"Can you tell me the location? I can also arrange for someone to deliver the invitation to you."

"I'm here now..." Qin Heqing immediately revealed the address of his hotel.

"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to deliver the invitation."

"OK."

Then the two chatted a few words, then hung up the phone consciously, and started to go about their own business.

"Look, which one is suitable." Qin Heqing turned on the computer provided by the hotel, found consultation on clothing, looked at the men's and women's clothing presented on it, and asked Ayukawa beside him.

After all, I'm going to participate in the auction tomorrow, which is more or less a formal event. Dressing casually like now is not only disrespecting others, but also disrespecting myself, so it's better to dress up more or less.

There is also Ayukawa, because there is no relationship with a female partner - Brenda can't be contacted, and he doesn't know if she has changed her mobile phone number or is no longer in Eagle Country, and he doesn't know the phone number of her good friend Veda , so after much deliberation, it is better to take Ayukawa directly.

Anyway, Ayukawa is not bad-looking, and has a good foundation, and this is not an island country, so she won't be attacked by the forbidden way for the time being, so there is no need for her to continue to hide her body, to guard against surprise attacks, and just show it that is.

"I think it's a good set."

"Is it too old-fashioned?"

"What about this set?"

"The color is too bright, I don't like it."

"What about this set..."

In this way, the two of them came back and forth to discuss the issue of clothing.

Until Sotheby's staff sent the invitation letter for tomorrow's auction.

"The auction will be held at Sotheby's Auction House on XXX Avenue at 3:00 pm tomorrow. Please pay attention to the time, sir, so as not to be late." The staff reminded Qin Heqing when they handed over the invitation letter.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out."

Then the staff left. After looking at the invitation letter in their hands, Qin Heqing also left the hotel with Yueer and Ayukawa, and went to Oxford Street, the most famous commercial street in London, to buy the clothes that will be used tomorrow.

As for renting?

He is not short of money, but he is not used to wearing clothes worn by someone who doesn't know.

Even though the clothes were carefully disinfected and cleaned when they were sent back, the disgust in my heart was still unavoidable.

...

The next day, at around two o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Heqing changed into a silver-style casual suit, and a black conservative-style sleeveless dress with a stand-up collar and flesh-colored stockings as the base layer, and a small suit on the outside, watching and following. Ayukawa, who was about to attend a certain award ceremony, got into the free car provided by the hotel and drove to the auction site of this trip.

There was no delay on the way, and there were no accidents, so Qin Heqing smoothly appeared at the door of the auction house ten minutes before the auction started, showed the invitation letter, and went to the auction house under the leadership of the service staff. the auction hall.

Because it is a special auction, this auction occupies a small hall alone, so there is no such so-called private room as a so-called facility to highlight the identity. Indicate the auctioneer's own offer.

So Qin Heqing didn't lean too far forward, chose a seat a little closer to the middle and sat down.

Beside him was an unknown old man from Yingguo, who nodded at each other and finished the process of greeting...

It is also simple.

Of course, it also showed that the other party didn't have much interest in chatting with him. Therefore, Qin Heqing didn't bother himself, picked up the introduction booklet on the chair, and looked through the auction list and the order of the auction.

Fortunately, Sotheby's, the most famous auction house in the world, has extraordinary energy! In this special auction, in addition to the large number of newly unearthed Egyptian cultural relics provided by him, there are also some Egyptian cultural relics that Sotheby’s got from whom Sotheby’s don’t know, which are mixed with his own items, forming the core of the whole auction. All the treasures have raised the level of this auction a lot.

"It seems that we can have a good harvest today." Qin Heqing said with a low smile to Ayukawa beside him.

Then time passed, and it was time for the auction to start.

A middle-aged man in a suit and white gloves walked onto the stage from one side, picked up a gavel, and tapped a few times on the log pad in front of him.

"Dang Dang Dang."

"Please be quiet, everyone. I am Henry, the auctioneer for this Egyptian-themed auction. Some of you may know me, and some of you may not know who I am, so allow me to introduce myself before the auction officially starts. , My name is Henry Griffin, and I am a white glove recognized by the Eagle Country Royal Auction Association. I have been in the business for 20 years and have presided over hundreds of auctions, large and small, so you don’t need to doubt my professionalism and professionalism.”

"So now I announce that this special Egyptian-themed auction has officially started! Let's invite the first lot to appear..."

Then, a female staff member dressed like a bar waiter came out carrying an Egyptian cultural relic that Qin Heqing had sent for auction, and put it on the auction stand.

"This is one..." Then Henry began to introduce, accepting the origin and age of this lot, as well as the appraisal certificate given by the auction house, and the name of the appraiser, before announcing loudly Dao said, "The starting price is 150,000 pounds, and each increase must not be less than 2,000 pounds. The auction is now open."

"One hundred and fifty thousand."

"Fifty-five thousand."

"Sixteen thousand."

"Sixty-three thousand..."

Just like this, you come and go, coupled with Henry's support, the atmosphere of the auction is gradually fired up, and it is rising towards a more and more fiery posture.

"180,000, is there anyone asking for a price of 180,000 pounds? If not, then I will give the hammer down!"

"One hundred and eighty thousand three times, it's a deal. Congratulations to this gentleman."

In an instant, twenty-five million yen fell into the pocket, and Qin Heqing couldn't help becoming excited even before he actually got the money.

"This is just a pre-heating lot. Not to mention the low grade, the price is also low. If it is replaced by the following high-quality goods..."

Just thinking about Qin and Qing makes me very excited!

"It seems that this time I can really make a lot of money!"

It was even much higher than the total price he had expected!

"It's not in vain for me to wait so many days."
