Chapter 114: Holding a Small Auction
Seeing Shi Xi, Yan's father seemed very happy.
"Xixi, you're here just in time. Come here."
Father Yan was not polite at all and called Shi Xi to his side as if he was calling his own daughter.
When they got closer, Shi Xi could clearly see the appearance of the person who was discussing business with Yan's father.
There is actually Ye Shaoyu!
There was also a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Ye Shaoyu and Old Man Ye.
"Sister Xixi, is it really you?!"
Ye Shaoyu pushed his glasses, fearing that he was dazzled.
After confirming that the person coming was really Shi Xi, an incredible smile appeared on his face.
This city is so small!
"Do you know?"
Father Yan asked curiously.
"Yes, Xixi has been to my house before and met my grandfather. My grandfather likes her very much."
Ye Shaoyu didn't hide anything and said it directly.
"Oh?"
The middle-aged man next to him was very curious and looked at Shi Xi carefully again.
"Seeing is believing!"
The middle-aged man praised again.
After he finished saying this, several men next to him also followed suit and praised Shi Xi.
Shi Xi smiled embarrassedly.
Ye Shaoyu quickly introduced: "Xixi, this is my dad!"
Looking at the middle-aged man's appearance, Shi Xi had already guessed his identity, but she didn't dare to confirm it.
"Hello, Uncle Ye."
Shi Xi greeted politely.
Father Yan introduced her to several other wealthy people, all of whom had assets exceeding 100 million yuan and were among the best in Xinghai City and even in the whole country.
Shi Xi was actually not unfamiliar with these people. At the auction that Qi's father and son took her to, these people were all present, and she had a slight liking for them.
"Those three Dayong ornaments in my study were all given to me by Xixi!"
"This child is sensible. When her mother disappeared before, I helped look for her, and she insisted on giving me such an expensive gift."
"Tell me, as an elder, how can you demand gifts from the younger generation?"
“What a shame!”
Father Yan praised Shi Xi without hesitation as if he was praising his daughter, and told her what had happened before.
The reason they gathered together today was because these wealthy men took a fancy to the antique ornaments that Shi Xi had given to Yan's father in his office.
Even though Yan's father said many times that he didn't want to sell, they kept pestering him.
"Girl, do you still have any antiques from the Great Yong Dynasty?"
"If you have any, be sure to contact the uncles!"
Like several other wealthy men, Father Ye stared at Shi Xi with a determined look.
Shi Xi didn’t quite understand what they wanted to do with so many Dayong antiques.
She asked curiously:
"Actually, I've always had a doubt."
"Why are these Dayong antiques so popular?"
Hearing Shi Xi's question, Ye Shaoyu chuckled.
"No need to trouble the uncles, Sister Xixi, I will answer this question."
"This Yong Dynasty antique is extremely rare and has a high price."
"Since a large number of antiques came out two months ago, everyone is now proud to collect them."
"It can be said that the measure of whether an entrepreneur is rich and powerful nowadays is based on the quantity and quality of his Dayong antiques."
Shi Xi understood what Ye Shaoyu said.
In other words, these antiques of his have now become the new luxury items that the entire upper class competes with each other on.
It’s the same reason why women like LV bags and Dior perfume.
"So, my dear girl, if you can get any Dayong antiques, you must give them to us first!"
A man with a square face, who looked very much like a high-ranking official in the administrative department, pleaded bitterly.
Shi Xi looked at Yan's father with some embarrassment.
"I do have a few more, but I didn't bring them out today."
Another man who looked like a nouveau riche said quickly:
"No rush, no rush."
"Girl, whenever you have time, feel free to contact us."
The things she bought for Xiao Jingyan recently did cost her a lot of money.
Moreover, Shi Xi also plans to buy a villa. She can't always live in a supermarket.
She was indeed a little short of money.
There were still two large boxes of antiques left. She planned to take out some lower-grade items this time. She would be satisfied if one item could be sold for around 50 to 30 million yuan.
You can't always take valuables worth hundreds of millions.
"My dear uncles, if you are interested, I plan to hold a small auction in private."
"I'll have the antiques ready by then, and everyone can bid fairly."
Upon hearing this, everyone thought this method was wonderful!
It also saves the agency fees of antique dealers.
"Why not hold it at my house?"
Knowing that Shi Xi didn't even have a decent house at the moment, Yan's father offered to provide her with a place.
"Xixi, please set a time, and then your uncle will come to pick you up."
He said this with great enthusiasm.
In fact, rather than going to pick up Shi Xi, he wanted to take a look at the antiques in advance and feast his eyes.
"it is good."
Shi Xi nodded in agreement.
"In order to allow all uncles to obtain their beloved antiques as soon as possible, I have put aside all other matters for the next few days."
"How about tomorrow morning?"
She also wanted to deal with these things as soon as possible so that she could use the remaining time to study the construction of the city wall with Xiao Jingyan.
Besides, Xiao Jingyan hasn’t finished learning how to drive yet.
These things need to be done quickly.
"Miss Shi is such a straightforward person!"
Several wealthy people laughed and said that they also wanted to get those antiques as soon as possible to show off their wealthy status.
"Okay, then we'll set it for tomorrow!"
Ye's father made the final decision.
Among these wealthy businessmen, the richest and most powerful is still the Ye family!
What he has decided is basically final.
After talking about antiques, Shi Xi stood up and left.
Xiao Jingyan is still waiting for her to come back, so she has to hurry.
Yan's father, Ye's father and others did not stop them.
Before leaving, they wanted Ye Shaoyu to see her off, but considering that Shi Xi had also driven here by herself and didn't need anyone else to see her off, they gave up.
After returning to the supermarket, Shi Xi was busy preparing antiques for tomorrow's auction.
Based on the number of people today, she prepared three more.
Most of the items in this small auction are defective or not very valuable.
These things are still difficult for her to find.
Almost all the things Xiao Jingyan gave her were top-quality items!
After finally gathering all ten items, Shi Xi simply found a suitcase and put them there casually.
She didn't have the habit of buying expensive boxes for these antiques.
After sorting out these antiques, it was almost dusk. Shi Xi sent a note to Xiao Jing, asking him not to come to see her tonight or tomorrow morning.
After doing all this, Shi Xi received a call from Ye Shaoyu while she was ordering takeout.
On the phone, Ye Shaoyu said that all the things Shi Xi had requested from his mine had been delivered, and asked Shi Xi when it would be convenient for him to send them to the supermarket.
Helpless, Shi Xi had to get up and continue working.
Xiao Jingyan was not in a hurry about these things, especially the bulldozers.
He wanted to wait for some time to go to Qianshuo's mine in person, and then let Shixi directly teleport the things to the mountain.
Otherwise, it would be difficult for the soldiers to carry these heavy things.
