Quick, female general, I traveled through time to save my father

Chapter 40 Fake Jin's sister makes a living by collecting scrap 18

After spending a few days having fun in Jinghai with Si's parents and taking lots of photos as souvenirs, Nie Feng came over.

They will go to the auction at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, leaving Nie Feng with them and having dinner at the restaurant at the door before sending him away.

We agreed to meet at Nie Feng’s store early tomorrow morning.

In the guesthouse at night, Sirong and the others discussed that Si's father would accompany Sirong to the auction tomorrow.

Si's mother and little Si Qi continued to go shopping in the antique market. Whoever came back first would wait for the other in Nie Feng's shop.

The main people who go to the auction must be very complicated. For a private auction, the focus is on the private side.

Si Qi is still young, and her mother's mental state is not very strong, so she doesn't take them to see the world.

This is not the Christie's of later generations, where only celebrities and wealthy people are bidding.

It's like an underground joint, which means there must be something that cannot be seen in public. Maybe you can even meet a few tomb robbers or something like that.

Moreover, Sirong didn't want the other party to know too much about her background. She had a family to support, and if someone had bad intentions, it would be hard to guard against.

As for why it’s daytime, wouldn’t it be more hidden at night?

It’s the 1990s now, and large transactions can’t be done like in later generations, where you just open a laptop or phone and tap a few keys to have the money transferred to your account immediately.

With such a large flow of money, of course the transaction must be conducted during the bank’s working hours.

If the deal doesn't work out, some big boss will take a fancy to a good item and the price will be agreed upon.

Then we made an agreement that when the bank opens tomorrow, we would exchange the money and the goods.

What if someone changes their mind that night?

You said that cash transactions are acceptable. How much cash should I bring?

If you bring too little, what will you do if you don’t have enough money? If you bring too much, who will you cry to if you get robbed?

So generally speaking, everyone carries around 10,000 or 20,000 yuan in cash. Once they’ve found something they like and gotten it, they pay a deposit first, and then go to the bank after the transaction is complete.

The next day, after breakfast, they went to Nie Feng's shop.

After saying hello to Nie Feng, Si's mother took Si Qi to the market.

It just so happened that the little girl was going to buy some small gifts for her classmates to take back. She had been thinking about eating and playing for the past few days.

When I was about to go home, I remembered that I hadn't bought any gifts for my friends, and I felt a little guilty.

It was just right that today she could ask Si's mother to accompany her to choose carefully, so the mother and daughter went straight to the small stalls selling clay figurines.

Buy some nice little clay figurines, they are not expensive and have the characteristics of Jinghai, which are perfect for giving to her best friends.

Nie Feng was pulling a small trailer containing the items he wanted to auction.

Taking Sirong and her father, we walked around and around until we arrived at a courtyard house. It was not far from the antique market, just across a few alleys.

The person who organized this event today is a big business owner named Wang, and this courtyard house belongs to him.

When I entered the yard, there were already a lot of people there. Some of them were wearing suits and ties, and they looked like businessmen.

Some of them were wearing Tang suits and had bracelets in their hands. They looked like they were from the antique circle.

There were also people wearing camouflage pants, dressed like migrant workers, sitting in the corner smoking.

When Sirong passed by them, she could smell a faint earthy scent on them, and thought that they must have done great things.

Nie Feng knew that the father and son had no intention of making close friends in this circle, so he didn't take them to introduce their backgrounds to everyone one by one.

I helped them find a corner to sit down, ordered two cups of tea and told them to wait here for a while. The auction would start once everyone arrived.

He wanted to go and say hello to some of the senior people over there.

Before coming, Nie Feng told them that once they entered the yard, they could not leave until the auction was over.

I was afraid that someone would break the rules and go out and make a report or something.

It was almost ten o'clock when Boss Wang, who organized the party, arrived, followed by several bodyguards, carrying several large boxes in a trailer.

After some greetings, the auction began.

Boss Wang hired a professional auctioneer to take charge of the situation, and the rhythm of the entire auction was well controlled.

I didn't see anything particularly cruel being brought out, but Sirong actually wanted to see it.

There are things underground, but they are not yet considered national treasures.

Her three copper coins were bought by two wealthy businessmen, and the total amount they sold for was 6.8 million Chinese yuan.

Sirong was very satisfied, and the two wealthy businessmen were also very satisfied.

The main reason is that Sirong's copper coins have such good meanings, and those who do business there are very particular about these things.

Especially the boss who spent money to buy the longevity peaches. Next month is his mother's 60th birthday. It was because he couldn't find a suitable gift that he wanted to try his luck here.

I didn't expect to come across this. It has good luck, good meaning, and can maintain its value. It's really good in every way.

Sirong saw that Sifu's face was obviously flushed, probably due to excitement.

In order to ease Si's father's tension, Si Rong gently poked him with her hand.

"Dad, can you lend me some of your private money?"

Hearing Sirong say this, Si's father immediately shifted his attention. He no longer cared about his nervousness and excitement, and looked at Sirong warily.

"How do you know I have private money?"

"Hehe." How could Sirong not know that there was nothing in this family that could be hidden from Sirong.

Moreover, Mr. Si’s disguise was not secretive enough. I guess Mrs. Si also knew about it and was just pretending to be ignorant.

The old man in my family never goes out of the house, so how can he take money and do bad things?

Now that our family is well off, it's fine for him to have some money.

He also saved up every penny with his own hard work, so why do we have to expose him?

Just now, when he said he was coming to Jinghai to send his son to school, the old man carefully searched through shoe boxes and under cabinets for a long time before he finally took out his little pocket money.

All I saved was less than 20,000 yuan.

It was inconvenient for Mr. Si to go to the bank, so all his deposits were in cash. The day before he boarded the train, he mysteriously pulled Si Haoyu into the room and had a conversation between them.

Then he gave Si Haoyu five thousand yuan and asked him to keep it for himself. He also said that he had prepared money for Sirong and Siqi, and he would give the same amount of money to Sirong when she got married and Siqi when she went to college.

So, what bad intentions could this little old man have?

In fact, as soon as the father and son came out of the room, Si Haoyu, that lackey, told Si Rong what his father had done.

It is not known whether Si's mother was told or not, so even without the intelligent computer, Sirong has full control over the Si family's movements.

Sirong actually didn't intend to use Si's father's money for anything. The last thing Boss Wang brought was a batch of jadeite raw stones brought back from the border.

Sirong liked it and wanted to get a few pieces to take back.

She had 20,000 yuan on her, which was enough to pay the deposit. She just wanted to tease Mr. Si.

The main reason was that Sirong liked too many things, seven in total, and she didn't want to untie them all.
