Ancient paintings connect the present, I hoard goods to support the villain Wang
Chapter 56: Earning 22 Million
Shi Xi was also very surprised when he heard the words "five hundred million" coming from the speaker above his head.
I didn’t expect this thing to be so valuable!
She suddenly felt that if the three boxes of jewelry and antiques Xiao Jingyan gave her were only used to buy supplies for them, they would be enough to support their 160,000-strong army for a lifetime.
It seems that she must give the soldiers something good to eat and also send some good goods to Xiao Jingyan.
Otherwise, she would feel guilty.
"Dad, this ornament is so valuable, what kind of jade is it made of?"
Qi Ji couldn't figure it out either. Although he had been in the antique industry for some time, he had participated in countless auctions and antique exhibitions of all sizes. This was the first time he had seen something that could be sold for 500 million yuan.
"Hehe, the value of this thing of Ms. Shi's is not in the object itself."
"If this item was just a cultural relic unearthed from an ordinary dynasty, it would definitely not be worth this much."
"Everyone present here today is knowledgeable and connoisseur of the goods. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to offer this price."
Boss Qi gave a brief explanation.
Shi Xi was very satisfied when she heard this. She had never thought that it could be sold at such a high price, so she was naturally very happy.
"Boss Qi, Brother Ji, thank you for helping me register for the auction."
"After the auction is over tonight, if you have time tomorrow, I'll treat you to a meal, okay?"
When Qi Ji heard Shi Xi invite them and their son to dinner, he seemed very excited.
But Boss Qi showed an expression of regret on his face.
"You young people should just go. I'm flying to the capital tomorrow. There's also an auction there."
In order to get Boss Qi to buy her coal, Shi Xi gave him a porcelain vase.
If Shi Xi's guess was correct, she suspected that Boss Qi went to the capital to sell the vase.
He is not selling here tonight, but choosing to travel thousands of miles to the capital to sell it. It must be because the price difference is too big.
Thinking of this, Shi Xi started to have his own ideas in mind.
She changed seats with Qi Ji to be closer to Boss Qi.
"Uncle Qi, you're going to the capital to attend the auction. Could you bring a few pieces with you?"
"Don't worry, they are just women's accessories, small things, they won't take up any space in your suitcase."
Shi Xi tried to persuade him by soft and hard means.
If she could sell the goods to the capital, she would get more money.
"Xixi, do you still want to sell antiques?"
"How many antiques do you have at home?"
Qi Ji's focus was somewhat special, so he asked curiously.
Shi Xi just smiled back at him and said casually:
“If there’s a way to make more money, who wouldn’t want that?”
Originally, Shi Xi wanted to split up the family and sell these antiques, but through the contact during this period, she found that the Qi family was very efficient.
"Boss Qi, our cooperation goes far beyond this."
Shi Xi looked at Boss Qi with a smile, giving him time to make his own choice.
She knew that Boss Qi and the Qi family were all good at doing business.
"I have a few antiques to sell on this trip, so I can't bring much for you. Like you said, try to pick out some that don't take up much space for me."
Boss Qi quickly compromised.
"make a deal!"
Shi Xi was also happy and smiled sweetly.
She took out her phone and wanted to order food online. While browsing her phone, she asked Qi Ji:
"Brother Ji, what time are you free tomorrow?"
"What do you want to eat? What do you want to play? I'll treat you."
As she spoke, she gave Qi Ji an even brighter smile.
It felt like a kid getting candy.
Qi Ji didn't know why, but when she smiled at him, he felt as if his heart was about to stop beating.
"I have a new song release conference this afternoon, how about we have lunch?"
"I can eat anything, just decide what you like."
After a long while, Qi Ji seemed to react and replied.
Boss Qi sighed as he saw his son's behavior.
How many days have you known each other?
This kid was completely controlled by Shi Xi.
"Okay, then I'll just decide."
"Brother Ji must be well fed."
Shi Xi found a Western restaurant in a five-star hotel and made a reservation for lunch for tomorrow.
While they were talking, the final price of the white jade lotus had been set.
A big boss finally paid 700 million, but it was still taken away by the man who was suspected to be Wei Yingchuan's adopted son Wei Yiqiu for 701 million.
Shi Xi felt that if this person was really Wei Yi Qiu, then she had underestimated Wei Yingchuan's strength before.
He can spend more than 800 million at an auction, how rich must he be!
What made them sweat even more was that the man had not left yet. Judging from his appearance, it seemed that he wanted to wait until Shi Xi's last two collections were on display before making a decision.
The last two pieces of collection are both carved objects made of similar materials to the white jade lotus.
One is a boat carved from yellow agate; the other is a peacock carved from sapphire.
The boat was not as big as the peacock and was not worth much, so it was only sold for about 300 million.
The blue peacock was worth some money, and its price was hyped up to 700 million.
However, the man suspected to be Wei Yi Qiu did not buy these two items.
After seeing the auction of Shi Xi's collection come to an end, he left early without waiting for the auction to be completely over.
It was obvious that they came here for Shi Xi's collection.
Qi Ji was somewhat certain of this man's identity and narrowed his eyes in the direction he left.
"It seems that this is all the collection for tonight. The following ones are not of much value."
Qi Ji also wanted to leave early and chase the man to see his true face.
Boss Qi saw his plan and asked Shi Xi first:
"What do you think, Miss Shi? Do you need to leave early?"
Shi Xi paused and said bluntly, "I'm fine with that. Brother Ji, if you want to chase that person, go ahead. I'm also curious about his true identity."
As a psychology student, Shi Xi had already seen through Qi Ji's little thoughts.
After nodding to them, Qi Ji quickly left the venue.
Boss Qi also took Shi Xi to the backstage to collect the money.
The actual place where antiques are traded backstage is very hidden and is built in the basement. It is surrounded by security guards wearing police uniforms and with guns on their waists.
As soon as he stepped in, Shi Xi felt the oppression coming towards him.
These professional security guards and bodyguards all look very strong.
She suddenly felt that now that she had money, she also needed to get a few handsome men with abdominal muscles to serve as bodyguards.
There were eight antiques in total. After deducting the money paid to the auction organizer and various taxes, Shi Xinu made a profit of 2.2 billion.
Because the amount was too large, it was transferred to three cards and six checks were written for her.
Shi Xi was already planning how to spend the two billion yuan.
Wei Yingchuan had previously said that Zhongli Group was owed more than 2 billion yuan by her mother. Anyway, she still had 400 million yuan in her card from selling Sister Meng's jewelry two days ago, so she was not in a hurry to use the money.
She planned to save the two billion yuan and use it to redeem her grandfather's business when she had enough.
Zuo You and Boss Qi will also go to the auction in the capital, and he will receive some money at that time.
She felt that she would be able to redeem her grandfather's Zhongli Group soon.
