The Beacon of Laiyang Metal

Chapter 28 Thoughts on Beauty and Development

Magic City is the country's economic, financial, trade, shipping, and technological innovation center. With a permanent population of nearly 25 million, it is an international metropolis that countless business people aspire to.

At this time, in the VIP room of the Magic City Company of Hong Kong's Jiades Art Center, Wei Yuan was leaning on the sofa, surrounded by three people. In addition to Chen Jialing, the vice president who presided over the daily auction business, there was also the chief appraisal expert of ceramics and miscellaneous items. Li Jiaguo, and even Chen Tao, chairman of Christys Asia, personally came to receive him.

Without him, it's just because the collection brought by Wei Yuan is too amazing. If it were just one or two treasures, it wouldn't be enough for the chairman of the Asia region to receive him personally, but this guy had 30 treasures when he was born.

Moreover, each of the 30 collections is treasure-level. If you take out any one, it will be a grand finale even in a major international auction company such as Christies, and each one can fetch a sky-high price. Preliminary estimates are that the starting price alone is At more than 30 billion Hong Kong dollars, this is enough for Chen Tao, the chairman of Asia, to receive it personally to show the importance he attaches to this cooperation.

After appraisal, the 30 collections brought by Wei Yuan were all genuine, and in terms of appearance, some collections were better than those that had been auctioned before.

"Mr. Wei, after discussion among several of our senior management, combined with the historical auction transaction prices of the same collection of your collection, the final starting price was HK$32.8 billion. This is the detailed starting price of a single collection. Please take a look." Chen Jialing finished. , handed Wei Yuan a very exquisitely made folder with both hands.

Qianlong famille rose gourd wall vase, the starting price is HK$2.52 million.
  Kangxi yellow glaze bowl with hidden dragon pattern, starting price is HK$1.3 million.
  The sapphire longevity flower pattern Ganoderma lucidum Ruyi has a starting price of HK$8 million.

The starting price of the Tang Sancai camel is HK$5 million.

Qing Dynasty Yongzheng Doucaixiang cloud pattern horseshoe-shaped water seal, the starting price is 1200 million Hong Kong dollars.
  A large blue and white fish and algae pattern ten-edge rhombus mouth bowl from the Xuande period of the Ming Dynasty, with a starting price of HK$2 million.

Wei Yuan took the folder and looked at it briefly, then said casually: "I have no problem with the starting price. After all, the higher the bid, the higher your commission will be. How is the commission calculated?"

Chen Tao on the side said: "Normally, we need to charge a commission of 5% of the transaction price, but for a powerful collector like you, we only charge a commission of 2.5%, which is equivalent to giving you a % discount. This is also our best choice. The greatest sincerity a deshi can give.”

Wei Yuan nodded and said: "I have no problem here. I can sign the entrustment contract, but I have a request. I need to keep my identity confidential. I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of this auction."

Chen Tao added: "Mr. Wei, please rest assured. We at Jiades always keep the identity of our customers strictly confidential, especially for a powerful collector like you. It is also a core secret of the company. You can go to the special VIP room at the auction site when the time comes." Witness the entire transaction and watch the auction online through a dedicated webcast.”

After signing the entrusted auction contract, the two parties retained the images during the appraisal and handover process, and then discussed the auction details.

Because Christie's 23-year plan for the auction and the items have been determined, and the collection brought by Wei Yuan, both in quantity and value, far exceeds the ordinary collection, so they decided to hold the summer and autumn auctions. During the period, a "Special Auction of Chinese Traditional Treasures" was temporarily added, and the buyers invited were mainly targeted at the big names in the Chinese collecting industry over the years, striving to obtain a high price at one time.

After discussing for more than an hour, everything was settled. Wei Yuan declined the invitation and returned to the hotel and stood in front of the window. He took out the contract and read it twice. Finally, he couldn't control the suppressed excitement in his heart and waved excitedly. With a few hard bounces of his fist, the guaranteed amount of more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars not only solved his immediate needs, but also gave Anton the confidence to "spend" on infrastructure.

The Hilton Hotel Weiyuan stayed at was located next to the Binjiang Forest Park in Pudong New Area. It was also one of the rare parks in the city with high forest coverage. During the Republic of China, Andong County had little entertainment activities at night, so he was taught to go to bed early and get up early. good habit.

It was only about 6 o'clock at this time. Wei Yuan stood by the window and stretched out, and found that the scenery outside the window was indeed very good. The park next to it was full of colorful water, green trees, and there were no people. It seemed that It's a good place for morning exercise.

After washing up, I changed into the sports equipment I brought from the space, then went downstairs and started jogging along the tree-lined path in the park.

During the training of the security regiment, Wei Yuan would train with the soldiers whenever he had time. Although he would not roll in mud pits, climb barbed wire, or climb over obstacles like ordinary soldiers, he would do things like daily drills, military boxing, and live ammunition shooting. , basically trained as rigorously as ordinary soldiers.

After more than a month, his originally average-looking figure actually had lines. Especially when wearing this kind of sports tights, you can clearly see the bulging muscles in his abdomen and chest, because he is not exposed to the wind and sun while running business. Even his skin is a lot whiter, and his appearance is not bad. At first glance, he can be called a handsome guy with at least 85 points or above.

As the saying goes, money is a man's courage. With money, you have confidence. This guy is now conservatively estimated to be worth more than 30 billion. The industrial cluster in different time and space has begun to take shape with his continuous blood transfusion and technical support. Veterans and recruits of the security corps have joined Nearly 2 people stood up, and they began to have the aura of a superior person.

Binjiang Forest Park looks bigger than the one above. The entire park is built along the river. The park is lined with green trees. Marble fences are connected to iron chains and spread out along the plastic track, providing space for exercisers and tourists at certain intervals. Resting bench.

Wei Yuan ran two or three kilometers when he suddenly found a woman leaning on the railing of the riverside in front of him, quietly staring at the sparkling river.

The early morning sunlight shines on the side of the woman's face, reflecting the snow-white skin, which seems to be glowing, and looks like a beautiful picture.

From the side, she must be a beautiful woman with extraordinary temperament. He couldn't help but slow down and walk slowly. It was not that he had any blasphemous intention. Everyone likes beautiful things. Wei Yuan just wanted to see if he could have a chance to see the beautiful woman. From the front, it's a pity that even though he slowed down his pace until he passed behind her, he didn't see the girl showing any intention to look back.

Wei Yuan had no choice but to let go of his regrets and continue running on his own. Until he finished the five-kilometer goal, he wiped the sweat on his head with a towel, replenished water, and began to return to the hotel at a normal walking speed.

When he reached the place where the girl stayed, he found that there was no one there. However, when he left the track and immediately walked out of the park along the stone road in the tree-lined area, he found that the girl was walking by the river with her head lowered in the grass. While searching for something, she heard footsteps behind her. The girl turned around and stopped Wei Yuan who was about to walk forward.

"Hello, can I trouble you with something? I lost my mobile phone and it seems to have fallen in the grass on this path. Can I borrow your mobile phone to make a call?" Wei Yuan was startled after hearing this, "Liar"?
  When he saw the girl's face clearly, his heart seemed to be touched by something, like a pebble thrown into the originally calm lake, causing ripples.

Without him, the girl in front of me is so stunning, with snow-white skin and beautiful appearance. She is wearing a Chanel tweed plaid green jacket and a white chiffon shirt, which sets off her tall and outstanding figure and elegant temperament. Her eyes are leisurely and quiet. The man in front of him looked elegant and elegant, but he was also aloof and cold.

And this kind of cold and elegant woman is the easiest to arouse the desire to conquer in men.

ah? oh!
  Wei Yuan was embarrassed and slightly panicked, and took out his mobile phone and handed it over. At this time, Wei Tuanzuo, who could calmly lecture in a team of thousands of people, felt as if he had met the girl he liked for the first time, Brother Chu. , as for the "liar" idea in my mind just now, it no longer exists.

When the girl found her cell phone through the ringtone and returned it to Wei Yuan, the guy was still in a daze.

"Thank you, thank you so much." The girl quickly expressed her gratitude after receiving the phone and returning it.

Wei Yuan also said politely: "You're welcome, it's nothing."

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. Wei Yuan nodded to each other and left first to return to the hotel.

I returned to the hotel room, took a shower, and went downstairs to have a buffet breakfast in the hotel before preparing to take the high-speed rail back to Laiyang, Shandong Province.

On the high-speed train, Wei Yuan was half-lying in a business seat, thinking about the next development of Anton. In terms of infrastructure construction, the county's roads were hardened and the entire industrial park project was already halfway through. Next would be schools, hospitals, water conservancy, agriculture, etc. In terms of basics, Jianye.

At present, the biggest shortcoming faced by Andong County is the problem of insufficient population. Because it is located in a bitter cold land and is sparsely populated, the county only has a population of more than 20. Many of them are people from Shandong Province who came from Guandong before. According to this population size, except for the basic Farmers, workers, as well as the elderly, weak, women and children, the desperate expansion of their own team can only be expanded to one division at most.

In this era, not only does education cost money, but medical treatment is not something that ordinary people can afford, because it is not uncommon to be destitute overnight for medical treatment. Even in the 21st century, many remote and poor areas often rely on themselves to cope with illness when they get sick. Tablets or antipyretics will do the trick.

In terms of agriculture, thanks to the natural advantages of the vast land, sparse population and fertile black soil in the Northeast, cultivated land can be reclaimed in the form of employee farms in the early stage. Farm employees who have been employed for three years can subscribe for different areas of land based on the performance of the farm. History has proven that in China In this land, the household responsibility system is the best way to stimulate productivity at this stage.

In addition, it will be directly contracted to provide one-stop train carriages to Andong. At this time, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and transportation is inconvenient. If there are no convenient travel conditions, I am afraid that the distance alone will dissuade a large number of people.

In terms of specific details, we can discuss it with Shi Gongxing after returning to Anton. It has to be said that Shi Gongxing is indeed a rare talent in civil affairs. Many things that seemed to be overwhelming in Weiyuan were handled in an orderly manner by him. First of all, The batch of infrastructure projects and the recruitment of soldiers to the security corps all progressed so smoothly thanks to Shi Gongxing.

While he was thinking, he felt his phone vibrate, and then a WeChat message dinged. He opened his phone and found a new WeChat friend request.

Apply for friend "Yunqiu"

Yunqiu? do not know!

Wei Yuan clicked it casually and refused to put the phone in his pocket again.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I put my phone in my pocket, WeChat sounded the new message notification sound again.

When he opened his phone again and looked at it, he found that it was still the WeChat friend named "Yunqiu" who applied, but this time there was an additional note: "Thank you for helping me find my phone today."

A beautiful and cold figure suddenly appeared in Wei Yuan's mind. It turned out to be her.

He originally thought it would just be a quick meeting and never met again, but he never imagined that he would have the opportunity to add WeChat friends. He couldn't help but smile and chose to pass the verification.

Immediately, "Yunqiu" sent a message: Thank you this morning. Fortunately, I found my phone. Otherwise, I would be in a miserable situation as I am not familiar with this place. It also included a naughty expression."

In the subsequent chat, Wei Yuan learned that her name was Zhu Yunqiu, a native of Yangcheng. She came to the city on a business trip. Like him, she also stayed at the Hilton Hotel next to Binjiang Forest Park in Pudong New Area. When she got up early for a walk, she accidentally left her mobile phone in the park. In the grass, I happened to meet Wei Yuan who was out for a run.

Until the high-speed rail announcement sounded: "The station ahead is Laiyang Station. Passengers getting off the train, please take your belongings with you to avoid taking them by mistake or forgetting them."

The two of them ended their chat.
