Chapter 716

Time is like sand, it always slips through your fingers inadvertently.

Under the leadership of Monica, Li Dacheng visited several famous cities in Europe, which deepened his understanding of these cities, and thus strengthened his belief in entering the international market.

Compared with the mixed domestic auction market, foreign auction markets are more professional and more mature, with a complete set of rules and regulations, leaving speculators and troublemakers helpless.

Although Li Dacheng's reputation among domestic counterparts is not good, he is actually a person who likes to follow the rules, which allows him to devote more energy to the operation of the company without having to pay attention to those messy trivial matters. One day when he left, he could leave with peace of mind without worrying.

"This is the famous Dirk Auction Company in Europe. It has a history of [-] years, and it is also the auction company that has the closest relationship with our family." Italian Lanmi, Monica pointed to a five-story building on the bustling commercial street. He said to Li Dacheng beside him, "All the treasures salvaged from the seabed by the fleet will be entrusted to this auction company, and the cooperative relationship has been going on for decades."

While listening to what Monica said, Li Dacheng looked at the tall buildings across the street. Although Milan is known as the fashion capital, the streets and alleys are full of ancient buildings. It is really not easy to find a skyscraper The auction company in front of me is no exception. Li Dacheng believes that it is a cultural relic. The problem is that after so many years of baptism, the building does not seem to have any damage. People have to marvel at the protection of cultural history here. Isn't architecture part of cultural history?
"Let's go." Monica pulled Li Dacheng and prepared to leave. In fact, the purpose of her coming to Milan has nothing to do with the auction. She just wanted Li Dacheng to accompany her around, that is, shopping. After all, this is the world's top clothing store. Base camp, how can you not stop and look around when passing by?Although she did not come frequently before, one person and two people have completely different concepts and moods.

"Wait." Li Dacheng stood still, and Monica couldn't pull him.

"What's wrong?" Monica asked.

Li Dacheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm here, if I just leave like this, wouldn't it be a little bad?"

"Ah?" Monica was stunned, and asked suspiciously, "What do you want to do?"

"Of course I went in to have a look." Li Dacheng said naturally, "Not only spying on the enemy's situation, but also visiting and learning, why not do it?"

"You, you don't want to smash the market, do you?" Monica said vigilantly, "I know, you are known as the little prince of smashing the market in your Chinese auction circle."

I rub!

Li Dacheng was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that his reputation had already spread abroad, it's true that good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles. "It's what makes a mess, that's communication." Li Dacheng corrected him solemnly, "It's just that they lost in the communication, so they deliberately smeared my tall and glorious image."

"Really?" Monica looked at Li Dacheng with a half-smile. Over the past year in the manor, she studied Chinese culture when she was free, and her understanding of China has also advanced by leaps and bounds. It is not a thing to deceive her. easy job.

"Of course, I'm a hot-handed person in China's antique circle. Who doesn't give a thumbs up when talking about us? Sigh, it's true that an outstanding person like me is easily slandered by my peers. It's easy to understand because I robbed them of their jobs." Li Dacheng explained with an innocent face.

"Then do you want to 'communicate' today?" Monica asked.

"No, no, as I said just now, I'm just here to visit and study, and I have no intention of communicating."

"However, if you go in under the name you just said, I'm worried that you will be kicked out."

"Then in the name of the client." Li Dacheng reached out his hand to fumble around, and finally took out a gold coin from his pocket, "How about entrusting this gold coin to them?"

"It's about the same." Monica nodded, as if she was afraid that Li Dacheng would cause trouble, and instructed, "Remember, don't make trouble, otherwise it will be very troublesome to be arrested by the police."

"Understood." After Li Dacheng agreed, he felt that the other party's words sounded a bit wrong. Is he so uneasy?
The two of them crossed the road and entered the Dirk Auction Company. As soon as they entered the door, Li Dacheng was stunned for a moment, because the inside was completely different from what he had imagined. Before coming here, he had been to some other buildings in Lanmi. It may be magnificent or luxurious, but the decoration here is very simple, there are no complicated decorations, and there are not too many decorations. Everything looks very harmonious and natural. The person standing at the front is not a young beauty, but An elderly white-haired bald old man, wearing a high-end black suit, stood there meticulously, with a full image of a housekeeper.

"He is Nino, the security director of Dirk's Auction Company." Monica whispered to Li Dacheng, "But don't underestimate this man, his understanding of art is not inferior to those of professional connoisseurs, even In some respects, it is even more powerful, he has a unique skill, anyone who brings artworks in and out of here, as long as he glances at them, he can know the age and value of the artwork, whether it is true or not."

"So amazing?" Li Dacheng looked surprised. He knew many experts, but no one had ever dared to boast of such a Haikou. Aren't those eyes more powerful than professional testing instruments?
"It's absolutely true, and you will never guess how long he has been standing in that position." Monica said mysteriously.

"How long?" Li Dacheng asked curiously.

"Fifty years!" Monica said.

50 years?
Li Dacheng gasped when he heard this, he has worked in the position of security supervisor for 50 years with such great skills, isn't it a bit overkill?Isn't the duty of the security supervisor to ensure the safety of the company's personnel and babies?Is such a god-man needed?
"What is his relationship with this auction house?" Li Dacheng asked, and his intuition told him that if there was no special reason, such a person would definitely not be willing to be just a security supervisor.

"Smart, even thought of this." Monica said with a smile, "He is the son-in-law of the Dirk family, and his wife is the second daughter of the Dirk family. She is very famous in Lanmi."

"No wonder." Li Dacheng nodded, but his eyes kept shining, he really wanted to take the old man as his own.

If you can stand such a god in your own auction house, the grade will immediately rise to a higher level.

"What, something?" Seeing Li Dacheng's shining eyes, Monica asked in a low voice.

"Such a person, who can not be tempted." Li Dacheng said sincerely.

"It's useless. As far as I know, many people have come to poach him, and even promised him a higher treatment, but he refused all of them, so you should give up your mind." Monica said , I don't have much hope for Li Dacheng, this is not a blow, but seeking truth from facts.

"Hey, how can you know it won't work if you don't try it?" Li Dacheng said and walked past the old man.

Monica looked at Li Dacheng's back and shook her head. She admired Li Dacheng's character of facing up to difficulties and becoming more and more courageous. However, there is a saying in Huaxia that those who know current affairs are heroes, and she feels that the other party is a little...

"Hello, sir, what can I do for you?" The old man looked at Li Dacheng and said with a smile, very polite, but very measured, neither humble nor overbearing.

"Mr. Nino, hello." Monica caught up with Li Dacheng, and looked at the old man's greeting with a smile.

"Miss Monica, you are still so beautiful. I saw you when you entered the door. You are like the first ray of sunshine at dawn. Every time I see you, you are so amazing..."

Li Dacheng stood there in a daze. This old man is quite lecherous. He has a lot of compliments. Don't ask, he must have been a flirtatious person when he was young.

"Mr. Nino, this is my friend. You can call him Mr. Li. He has a treasure and hopes to entrust your Dirk Auction Company to auction it." Monica said politely.

"Thank you Miss Monica. It is my honor to serve Mr. Li. Mr. Luther is in the office. Miss Monica can bring this gentleman up." The old man said politely.

"No, I just want you to show me." Li Dacheng said to the old man, then reached into his pocket, took out a golden coin, flicked his thumb lightly, and the gold coin drew a beautiful line in the air The arc fell on the desktop at the front desk, turned around and then fell down. "Just talk about this gold coin."

The old man glanced at it lightly, and suddenly there was a bit of difference on his face, and he said in surprise, "This is an Edward III florin coin, which was issued in England in 600, more than [-] years ago. In history, to this day, there are only three coins of this type in existence, two of which are kept in the British Museum, and the remaining one is in a private collection. Yours..." The old man looked at Li Dacheng and asked, "Should you Could it be the collector of the third coin?"

Li Dacheng smiled, but shook his head and said, "I am not a collector of the third coin."

"Could this be... the fourth one?" The old man said in surprise. He has stood in this position for more than 50 years and has seen many kinds of treasures, but he still couldn't help but let out a cry of admiration.

"You can put it this way." Li Dacheng said, he still has a few of these coins in his hand, which are the rarest coins he salvaged from the bottom of the sea. As long as he doesn't take out other coins, then the coins he is holding now It is indeed the fourth one. "I don't know what price this gold coin can fetch?"

"The last time the third gold coin appeared was more than ten years ago, it was worth $680 million. The value will be at least 680 million U.S. dollars higher, in the range of 800 million to 900 million, or even higher." The old man measured the gold coins, and finally couldn't help but took out a glove from his pocket, put it on, and held the gold coin in the He looked carefully in his hand, nodded while looking at it, and finally put the gold coin back on the chasing surface, looked at Li Dacheng and asked, "Mr. Li, are you really planning to auction it? You must know that its collection value is very high .”

"Why, the business you got, do you think of rejecting it?"

"No, I just think you're likely to regret it in the future."

interesting!
Li Dacheng smiled, if it were someone else, he should try his best to persuade him when he saw this kind of treasure, and entrusted the treasure to the company for auction, but the other party seemed not enthusiastic. Could it be that this is also a tactic?Yes, play hard to get!

"Do you like this gold coin?" Li Dacheng asked, the old man's eyes were fixed on the gold coin, and even Monica, who had praised before, was left aside.

"Yes, it is not only exquisite in workmanship and rare in the world, but also has high historical and artistic value." The old man did not hide anything, and nodded simply.

"Well, if I give it to you, the price is that you come with me, are you willing?" Li Dacheng said with a smile, while staring intently at the other person's eyes, hoping to see something from it.

"Follow you?" The old man raised his head slowly, and finally transferred the matter from the gold coins to Li Dacheng's face, with a bit of doubt in his eyes.

Monica on the side kept tugging on Li Dacheng's clothes with her hands, and gave him winks again and again. Digging is not like this. Don't act so naked, okay?Should at least find a place to sit down, have a drink, and chat slowly.

"Yes, come with me." Li Dacheng said very honestly, "In fact, I am the owner of an auction company. I am planning to open a branch in Europe recently, and I have already started preparations in the UK. It will open soon. Monica said that you are very good. I just saw that you are really capable. It is really difficult for you in such a small place. How about it? Go there. Only when you come to me can you truly display all your value. I will give you that chance."

Monica covered her eyes with her hands, oh my god, what were they talking about, she suddenly felt that the other party was not here to visit and study, but to mess things up.

"Sir, thank you for your kindness, but I won't leave. Since Miss Monica told you about me, she should also know about my relationship with this place." The old man said lightly, without revealing anything on his face. Not even the slightest interest, even the gold coin as a gift, seems to be worthless in his eyes at this moment.

"I know, but I think it shouldn't feel good to bark in the door." Li Dacheng said with a smile, "Otherwise, depending on your ability, you won't be just a security supervisor standing here doing this kind of rough work."

The old man's eyelids twitched suddenly, and his wrinkled face immediately stiffened.
