Power of Money -
Chapter 493
Jason glanced up and down at this sexy beauty and nodded. "Yes."
"It seems that Mr. Xia doesn't have many friends in Gavila. Or are you used to coming and going alone?" Selina asked with interest with a glass of wine in his hand.
"I seldom come here, so I don't have many friends, especially a big star like Miss Hong. It's my honor to meet you."
Jason and Selina shook hands. Today's film and television industry in Gavila was declining day by day, especially in recent years. The status of stars had been declining day by day. It was rare to see stars in the mainland being praised on the altar today.
"Just call me Selina. I like the mainland very much, and I also hope to make friends with people from the mainland. A promising young man like Mr. Xia, if there is a chance, I hope I can meet Mr. Xia on the mainland in the future. I don't like the delicacies on the mainland..."
Selina was very talkative, and he chatted with Jason with a smile. He was able to talk to the young Goddess Jade in a close distance about the news, which made Jason let go of the pressure in his heart. The pressure he felt when he was going to go to the high seas was also casually chatting. He used to like several movies that Selina had shot before.
The two chatted with each other. Time passed very quickly. Half an hour of boarding was soon over. All the diamond members on the list were already on board without delay. With a deep and long whistle, the cruise ship slowly left
"Mr. Xia, it's almost time. The third round of auction is about to begin. You can take a seat in the hall now and read the auction list in advance."
Daniel, who had disappeared for a while, appeared behind Jason and invited him to sit in the hall.
"Okay." Jason nodded and was about to go to the hall when he suddenly found Selina standing beside him. He asked doubtfully, "Miss Hong, aren't you going with us?"
An awkward look flashed across Selina's beautiful eyes.
Daniel explained, "This is the case. Tonight, there are two activities for the Li Star cruise on the high seas, including the third round of auction that you are about to attend, and a Garden Party specially prepared for Miss Hong and others. The Garden Party is also full of contents. When Mr. Xia gets his favorite item, you can go there to relax..."
Jason understood. On the phone, Nadine had told him that only the members above the diamond level of the Horse Club could participate in tonight's high-sea auction. As for the actresses Selina and other notable ladies who also boarded the ship, they naturally did not have the qualification to participate in the auction. They could only act as the foil of the green leaves. After the auction was over, they would become the foil of high-level members.
Jason could read a piece of expectation about the auction in the boat from Selina.
"I remember that every member who comes to participate in the auction can bring a female companion who is more than platinum in the Horse Club, right?" Jason turned his head and asked Daniel.
"Yes."
"Then let my Miss Hong go with me. Otherwise, there will be some dirty things. With Miss Hong by my side, it won't be boring, will it?" Jason said indifferently. Since Jason had spoken, Selina was naturally qualified to enter the auction house.
However, before that, Daniel had to take someone to check her again. After all the metal things and mobile phone communication equipment were confiscated, she was allowed to follow Jason into the hall. In the hall of the Star cruise, the huge and gorgeous crystal chandelier was like an iceberg hanging upside down in the sky. It was very luxurious and European-style beauty decoration, setting off an oval wall o tens of meters high. Under the brilliant light, it was radiant and beautiful.
This hall was big enough for thousands of people to hold a meeting at the same time. At this time, only some waiters in white shirts and dark horse armors shuttled back and forth with red wine plates. Among them, there was a fountain, in which there was a horse stepping on the white jade stone statue.
On both sides of the fountain, diamondlevel members of the Horse Club were sitting one after another. Accompanied by the female companion, they were tasting red wine while looking through the list of items for the third round of auction tonight.
There were a total of seven pieces.
Every one of them was enough to cause a sensation in the world's collection!
Of course, the starting price of the item was also the total price of all the auction items in the previous round of thestays Hotel.
"Santosa, look at this ointment bowl made by Kangxi. It looks very good. Didn't our family buy a new set of tea set? We bought it and kept it for drinking tea. It's just fine..."
The old man, with his granddaughter's age, was also invited to the auction on the Star Cruise.
The old man's name was Santosa. He was the boss of a well-known real estate company in the mainland. He had been doing nothing for a lifetime and lost a few emperors. No one invested and developed him. He just caught up with the outbreak of the building in the mainland these years. All of a sudden, he made a lot of money, and he couldn't use all his descendants. Thinking about it, he decided to find a beautiful young man and give birth to more children.
This year, the girl was only 2T years old, and she was a senior student in a southern university. She and Santosa were known in his estate opening ceremony. The girl, as a hostess of etiquette, took a fancy to Santosa, who was mature and stable in her mind at a glance. After flirting with him, they got together.
Although Santosa was old, he could still feel that the girl beside him had deliberately squeezed closer to him at this moment. She was full of enthusiasm and youth.
She chuckled and said, "That's fine. But the last time you were pregnant with medicine, you failed. If you continue to delay, I will have no energy next year."
Hearing this, the girl's face changed immediately. She gently glanced at Santosa with her arm and said, "Oh, I hate it. So many people said it, but you forgot that although the pregnancy failed, he did a good job. He almost let you go back to thirty years ago..."
The girl's words made Santosa suddenly return to a month ago. However, at his age, there was nothing else that could be passed on from generation to generation. So he said with a serious face, "I am talking about business. This is the last year. If I fail again, I don't have time to wait..."
"But what if I succeed?" The girl winked at Santosa.
Santosa was stunned and suddenly understood something. He looked at the girl's flat belly and said, "Don't tell me you're..."
"Hey hey, it's because you didn't pay attention to her health. I've been vomitting in the morning these days, and if it's true, how are you going to reward me?" The girl said proudly.
"Morning?" Santosa was so happy that his face turned red all of a sudden. "If you are really pregnant, let's not talk about anything else. Just tonight, as long as anything appears here, I will definitely buy it for you and give you as a gift!"
In a society where money was top priority, the resources distribution was getting more and more concentrated. Many young men in their early twenties did not even touch the hands of girls. However, for an old man like Santosa, who had already lost his fertility, there were countless young and beautiful girls fighting to pass on the inheritance to him.
The girl blinked her eyes, as if she had achieved what she wanted, and then she took the list of auction on the table and directly turned it to the last one. She pointed at a picture on the list and said, "Can you take it if I want it?"
Santosa looked at her in surprise. When his eyes moved to the list and carefully looked at the photo and the simple text notes, he suddenly felt a little surprised.
"Is it a copy of Gu Xu's Epigraph of the Women's History from the East?"
Hiss...'
Santosa couldn't help but take a deep breath. These people often went around the world and went to the world's top sales places. They bought hundreds of precious collections with great money. Of course, he knew what the weight of the copy of the Classics of Women's History was in the collection circle!
Although there was no note of this copy on the register, which dynasty did it come from?
But even in modern times, it could be said to be a city of great value!
The value of its collection and value was simply unpredictable!
"Good boy... No wonder the auction tonight, in order to get on the cruise and drive to the high seas, it's too extravagant. Anyway, we have to take it! It can be used as a family heirloom! Even if our descendants really defeat our family one day, with this, we can start over again, and we won't worry about eating and drinking for several generations!"
Hearing Santosa's murmur, the girl grabbed his arm excitedly and said, "Santosa, to be honest, are you really willing to take this picture for me?" "Yes, of course. As long as you give birth to a baby for me with peace of mind, I will definitely take this picture for you. Don't worry." Santosa sneered.
