The leisurely life of the rich start

After chatting for a while, I found out that Liang Wei's father was also a member of Xiangjiang Jockey Club.

Therefore, the two were able to get to know each other at a party organized by the Jockey Club.

Zhang Da looked at the time on the wall clock:

"Let's have dinner first, let's talk about the auction after dinner?"

"Okay, let's eat first!" Liu Ke nodded and said, "Let me try something delicious here."

Zhang Da said to himself: "Don't worry, you will be satisfied."

Today, he specially invited Chef Hou to "come out of the mountain".

After a full meal, several people began to sharpen their knives and rattle at the "pig and sheep".

The items in the Only Watch auction have been announced to the public as early as July, and several people have their own favorite targets.

Liu Ke was the first to say: "I have taken a fancy to this year's auction by Runa Company."

Juna Watch Company is an independent watch brand founded by Frenchman François Paul Juna.

Among the independent watch brands, Juna is one of the best.

"It's the watch with the blue dial, right?" Shen Haoran said, "I've seen it too, and it looks pretty good, but I already have a Roger Dubuis with the blue dial, so I'm not going to buy it."

"There is no competition with Mr. Shen, so it would be great." Liu Ke said with a smile, "Zhang Da, Ms. Liang, how about you?"

Liang Wei shook her head and said, "I have no plan to buy a watch, I just watch it for fun."

She came to Jinling to play with Shen Haoran.

As for the auction, it can only be said that it happened just in time.

"I'm not going to buy this watch either." Zhang Da said, "I only have one goal this time, which is the Patek Philippe watch."

The lot put out by Patek Philippe this time is called Ref. 6300A-010 Master String Stainless Steel Watch.

Liu Ke immediately smiled and said, "That's great, Ada, I'm aiming for the best!"

"Will there be a lot of competition for that watch?" Chen Yongqi interjected, "Although the current valuation is only 300 million Swiss francs, according to the analysis of experts from the watch company, the transaction price will not be less than eight figures."

"Is it so exaggerated?" Liu Ke said, "I remember that in 17, the transaction price of Patek Philippe was more than 500 million Swiss francs, right?"

"That's right, the transaction price in 17 was 520 million." Shen Haoran said, "However, the Patek Philippe with the highest transaction price on Only Watch didn't exceed 1000 million, right?"

Zhang Da said: "Yes, the highest transaction price in 15 was 720 million Swiss francs."

"However, the lot that Patek Philippe sent this year is their first stainless steel watch at auction in recent years." Liang Wei analyzed, "Plus the dial is beautiful, and it is possible to fetch a sky-high price."

"It makes sense." Shen Haoran joked, "Besides, Zhang Da will also bid this time, he is not short of money."

"Brother Shen, don't flatter me, I will float away." Zhang Da smiled, "I hope I can take a picture."

In his heart, for this watch, he is bound to get it.

Not only because the watch looks good, but also because.

Acquiring this sky-high priced watch can speed up the progress of the "Rising to Fame" achievement.

As for the price, he didn't care.

It's just a game of football.

After talking about Zhang Da, Chen Yongqi asked: "Mr. Shen, which watch do you like?"

"I took a fancy to Audemars Piguet's rudder flywheel, and Richard Mille's automatic flyback chronograph."

Shen Haoran said,

"I will focus on the piece of Richard Mille. After all, it is a joint product with McLaren, which is very rare."

Chen Yongqi asked again: "Is it just these two pieces?"

"That's right." Shen Haoran joked, "If there are more, the wallet won't be able to bear it."

Two weeks ago, he placed an order for a yacht of the same model as Zhang Da.

Naturally, it is paid in installments.

"That couldn't be better!" Chen Yongqi laughed, "In this way, everyone will have no internal competition at all!"

"This is a very good thing." Zhang Da asked curiously, "But brother Yongqi, what watches do you like?"

"Me? I've taken a fancy to Akrivia's blue-gray watch, and Tudor's Qicheng Biwan Ceramic No. [-]."

Chen Yongqi said,

"I personally like that piece of Akrivia, and Tudor is for collection."

"In my collection, there is still a piece of Tudor's orphan."

Shen Haoran analyzed: "The transaction price of Tudor this time should exceed the 35 yuan of the previous year."

"That's right!" Liu Ke echoed, "After all, they broke the transaction price record only last year, and it's normal for them to be more expensive."

"I hope 45 can be won." Chen Yongqi said, "However, if you buy a Tudor watch, you can also get a chance to visit the Tudor headquarters. It will be worth some of the cost."

Zhang Da smiled and said nothing.

Tudor headquarters, he is familiar with it.

After seeing a few people chatting, he said as the host:

"Okay, let's finish the business. Are you interested in going for a drive by the river? I can arrange another event by the way."

Liu Ke said: "I think it's good. It sounds interesting to visit the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties at night."

"I don't object either." Chen Yongqi said, "I just want to trouble you to take us back to the hotel."

"No problem." Zhang Da nodded, looked at Liang Wei and said, "Sister Liang, how about you?"

Liang Wei nodded directly: "We're OK, we came here by car."

Liu Ke and Chen Yongqi exchanged a look.

They originally thought that Rafa in the parking lot was Zhang Da's car.

It's almost an oolong.

Two minutes later, Cullinan quietly followed behind the roaring Rafa, and left the racecourse one after the other.

On the calm river, a luxury yacht is shining with peaceful light.

Zhang Lifeng, whose skin has "whitened" a little, is waiting in the captain's room.

Nearly an hour later, Zhang Da and his party arrived at the pier.

Chen Yongqi shook his head and smiled, "Is this the extra activity you mentioned?"

"Yes, let's get on board."

"not bad!"

Chapter 234 The Telephone Auction

It's Singles' Day again.

Zhang Da, who didn't have to celebrate the festival, got up early and came to Gu Hao's company.

Gu Hao personally made tea for him, then asked with a smile:

"Mr. Zhang, why are you free today?"

"I'm interested in buying a Premier League team."

Zhang Da got straight to the point, "Our cooperation was very pleasant before, so I would like to ask Mr. Gu if he has the confidence to join my acquisition team."

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry."

After thinking about it, Gu Hao said, "I'm not proficient in overseas asset acquisitions."

Big orders are certainly tempting.

But he knows better that without diamonds, Molan porcelain works.

"Okay, I understand." Zhang Da nodded and smiled, "Let's cooperate next time."

After chatting with Gu Hao for another half an hour, Zhang Dacai drove to the racecourse villa.

He has entrusted the recruitment of the acquisition team to the Jockey Club and the bank respectively.

Hope, can recruit a few useful talents.

As for now, it's better to sleep first to recharge your batteries for the late-night auction.

only...

He had just climbed to the first and a half floors when Fan Jiang called.

"Brother dei, do you want to go to Citigroup at the end of the month?"

"Uh, not at the end of the month. I have to receive a big delivery at the end of the month." Zhang Da said as he walked to the bedroom, "By the way, why did you think of going to Citigroup?"

"My brother called me to go. He said that this year is very busy and he might not be able to go back to China before the year. He just called me to go and have fun."

Fan Jiang joked, "Is there any important courier that Zhang Fushuai needs to receive personally?"

Zhang Da said truthfully: "I bought a business jet, and it will be delivered to China at the beginning of next month."

Fan Jiang on the other end of the phone fell silent.

"Hello? Brother, are you ok?"

After more than a minute, Zhang Da imitated Mr. Lei and asked.

"It's okay, I can still stand it." Fan Jiang said somewhat bleakly, "It's just that I suddenly remembered that when we went to buy a Phantom, I even bragged that I wanted to buy an airplane, but I didn't expect you to buy it directly."

"Haha, I'll take you to experience flying a business jet later." Zhang Da laughed, "Think about it, is it a bit like playing DOTA and giving you the feeling of flying shoes?"

"Sorry, I can't imagine it." Fan Jiang said, "How much did your phone cost?"

Zhang Da deliberately said: "5 million."

Abusive voices came from the phone: "Big dog!"

Zhang Da smiled and asked: "Will you come to Jinling to watch the football on the weekend? Our team has reached the final."

"Okay, I might as well hang out in Jinling for a few days, and then fly directly to Citigroup." Fan Jiang thought deeply, "It's better than working in Shanghai."

Zhang Da blinked and said, "I'm sorry, after the finals, I'm going to fly to Xiangjiang."

Fan Jiang said indifferently: "It's okay, don't let my dad know, just fly to Xiangjiang."

Zhang Da: "..."

"Hello?" Fan Jiang raised his voice, "Then it's a deal. I'll come to Jinling on Friday."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone and closing the curtains, Zhang Da, who didn't sleep much last night, quickly fell asleep.

...

It was already 10:[-] in the evening when he was woken up by the alarm clock.

After washing up, Zhang Da briefly ate some food from the cafeteria, and then came to the hall on the first floor.

Shen Haoran and others also came to the villa one after another.

Zhang Da used his tablet to connect to the live broadcast of the Only Watch auction, and then projected the screen to the TV.

In this way, they can wait until their favorite watch is auctioned before calling the dedicated operator.

Before the auction started, Zhang Da called the operator to confirm that he would participate in the auction, and at the same time tested the fluency of international calls.

Fortunately, everything is normal.

At 12 o'clock domestic time, the auction officially started.

The first lot is an orphaned Hermès watch.

Zhang Da looked at the slightly rough dial and sat down on the sofa.

Liu Ke complained: "The watch Hermès sent this year is a bit ugly."
