Hello 1983

After speaking, he led his son and daughter-in-law into two luxury cars.

If you are a native of Hong Kong Island, you will definitely recognize them when you see them. This is the famous Huo family on Hong Kong Island.

After tasting the delicacies with Hong Kong Island flavor in a tea restaurant, I went back to the hotel to rest.

Hong Yunsheng and Qian Yuzhen stayed in Liu Qingshan's room. After chatting for a while, Qian Yuzhen took out a small bag. After opening it, there were several large and small boxes inside.

Then he said to Liu Qingshan: "Sanfeng, the two pieces of jade you asked us to bring back have been processed into bracelets."

Hong Yunsheng also added beside him: "Qingshan, your two pieces of jadeite are of high quality. They are both grown in old pits. They are excellent in water. They are simply the best. I wonder if you intend to sell them?"

He used to specialize in jewellery, and of course he also had research on jadeite, so he couldn't put it down. It can be seen that the two rough jadeite stones are indeed extraordinary.

Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile: "They are all prepared for family members."

When Hong Yunsheng and Qian Yuzhen left Jiapigou, Liu Qingshan deliberately dug out two pieces of jadeite, one large and one small, and asked them to bring them to Hong Kong Island and process them into jewelry.

Opening the boxes one by one, a total of seven or eight pairs of bracelets came out, each of which was crystal clear, and the inside was full of greenery and full of vitality.

"One pair for grandma, one pair for mother, one pair for elder sister, second sister, and older sister. That's enough."

Liu Qingshan also looked at it pleasing to the eye, and then said to Qian Yuzhen: "Sister Yuzhen, you can also choose a pair, since you have a copy."

Have mine too?

Qian Yuzhen looked at Liu Qingshan quietly, and did not refuse.

After looking at her for a long time, she finally had a bright smile on her face: "Alright Sanfeng, I accept it. Today I am very happy because I have an extra brother."

Even in today's Hong Kong Island, this kind of top-quality bracelet is worth a lot. If you sell it for 10,000+ Hong Kong dollars, there is no problem at all.

Such an expensive gift, Liu Qingshan gave it as soon as he said it, this is really treating her as a relative.

Although emerald is heavy, how can it be more important than family affection?

Hong Yunsheng could only express his admiration for Liu Qingshan's grandeur. From this moment on, he really regarded Liu Qingshan's family as Qian Yuzhen's natal family.

Qian Yuzhen opened two small boxes. Inside were two pendants, both of which were emerald green and flawless. One of them was carved with a small dragon, and the other was a coiled snake.

"This one belongs to the fourth child, and this one belongs to the fifth child, which coincides with their zodiac signs." Liu Qingshan also played with the two pendants and liked them very much.

Qian Yuzhen is also full of joy, after all, there is one of her apricots in it:

"Yun Sheng said that this material has reached the level of emperor green, which is extremely rare. Caifeng and mountain apricot will definitely make you happy when you wear it."

"Qingshan, this is yours. After making two pendants, there are still some materials left, so I will make my own proposal and make you a pendant."

Hong Yunsheng opened the last box, which contained a heart-shaped pendant.

The emerald seemed to possess magical powers, like a bottomless pit, one glance would be deeply attracted by it.

"Qingshan, this is the best jade I have ever seen, you deserve it."

Hong Yunsheng also stared at the emerald pendant with great envy. It was remarkable that even a jeweler like him could be moved.

Liu Qingshan blinked his eyes twice: "Brother Hong, I am a big man, is it really okay to wear this?"

Hong Yunsheng smiled: "There is no way, the remaining material is in this shape, it would be a waste to do other things, Qingshan, you will have a girlfriend in the future, girls will definitely like this."

And Qian Yuzhen took it out gently, and put the heart-shaped pendant in Liu Qingshan's palm.

Her eyes were as clear as emeralds, and she murmured softly:

"Sanfeng, this pendant is only eligible to be worn by people with the purest hearts. Sister believes in you, and I will definitely find such a girl."

Chapter 325 Auction without reserve price

As New Year's Day approached, Christie's Auction House held a special New Year's auction on Hong Kong Island, which almost attracted the attention of the whole world.

After entering the 80s of this century, Christie's has developed rapidly, and several auctions have repeatedly set new highs.

Especially this New Year's auction special, which has aroused heated discussions even before it even started.

Liu Qingshan also accompanied Hong Yunsheng to the auction hall of Christie's Hong Kong Island Branch. As for Secretary Wang, Zheng Hongqi and others, they visited the factory under the guidance of Qian Yuzhen.

After parking the car, it was found that it was impossible to enter the auction hall. There were hundreds of people at the gate, each with cloth strips wrapped around their heads, holding slogans and banners in their hands, and shouting slogans in their mouths.

Liu Qingshan unconsciously showed a smile on his face: "They all ran here to protest, aren't there a lot of islanders on Hong Kong Island?"

"Most of them are hired locals, and it's been going on for days."

Hong Yunsheng also looked at it with great interest. Speaking of which, the source of this matter lies in the two of them.

"Hehe, I declare that the protest is invalid."

Liu Qingshan did not forget to make a joke.

He was also extraordinarily organized today: a well-fitting high-end suit was chosen by Qian Yuzhen yesterday, and he dressed up this younger brother, very handsome.

Those who don't know the details will definitely think that this is the rich young man of some big family.

Soon, a large police force arrived and quickly dispersed the protesting crowd. Christie's is an old auction house in Great Britain, and the current Hong Kong Island still belongs to England for the time being. Of course, no one is allowed to make trouble here.

Only then did Liu Qingshan follow the flow of people and enter the auction house in a leisurely manner. Along the way, he attracted many people's attention.

I have to say that after changing into a brand-name outfit, coupled with Liu Qingshan's unique temperament, it is really eye-catching.

He also took it calmly, anyway, this time he had to act in a high-profile manner, so there was no need to hide it.

While walking, he found a man in his 30s and nodded to him. Liu Qingshan also smiled and nodded, recalling in his mind: which celebrity is this?

The middle-aged man's parted hair was shiny, and he was wearing big toad glasses. His temperament was a bit like Brother Fa, but he didn't look like it at first glance.

After the man walked over with his female companion on his arm, Hong Yunsheng asked in a low voice: "Qingshan, do you know Huo Sheng?"

Liu Qingshan shook his head, then suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Is it the Huo family on Hong Kong Island?"

Hong Yunsheng nodded, like the Huo family, he would never be able to climb high at ordinary times.

In other words, he knows people, and people don't know him.

"A lot of celebrities are here today."

While walking, Hong Yunsheng introduced the celebrities he saw in Hong Kong Island to Liu Qingshan in a low voice.

Some people, Liu Qingshan has also heard of, in the previous life, these people were the protagonists in the legends.

But now, Liu Qingshan feels that he may also become a legend among others.

Their seats are at the back of the auction hall, and this is because Hong Yunsheng is the client. Otherwise, there is probably no place for him to sit in such a big scene.

In Liu Qingshan's hand, he also received a number plate. That's right, he also wants to participate in the auction, and he also paid a deposit of 10 pounds.

Of course, Liu Qingshan didn't have sterling on hand, so he asked his partner Victor to extract it from the purchase of morels and ground vegetables, which was barely enough.

In the auction hall, people kept entering the venue one after another.

When a group of guests with serious expressions and even angry expressions entered the venue, there was a burst of discussion in the hall.

There were twenty or thirty people in this group, Liu Qingshan knew that they should be from the island country, because in this group, he saw a familiar figure: Fujita Masaichi.

This guy walked at the end of the group, and he probably played the role of a follower.

Hong Yunsheng quickly introduced to Liu Qingshan: "Several representatives of the big consortia from the island country have come. The young man wearing glasses is Mitsui Ki from the Mitsui Consortium, and the mustache is from the Fuji Consortium..."

Liu Qingshan also nodded in satisfaction: "The more people who join us, the better the prices for our auction items."

"Not necessarily, maybe the islanders will unite to stop it." Hong Yunsheng was worried about his gains and losses, as the auction house was in deep water.

Especially in the current island country, the bubble economy has not yet burst, and it is the era when it is said that you can buy all over the world.

Most of the works of art auctioned by the world's major auction houses are sold at high prices by the island countries, which are regarded as a means of maintaining value.

The most famous event here is that Yasuda Company won the auction of Van Gogh's famous painting "Sunflower". At that time, it was said that it spent a full 59 billion, of course, in Japanese yen.

The most dramatic scene was that after a few years, the island country's economy collapsed, and Yasuda Corporation couldn't hold on anymore, so they wanted to sell this sunflower, but it was sent to the auction house for appraisal, and it turned out to be a fake.

Once upon a time, the title of people who are stupid and rich in money was originally worn by islanders.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the auction officially started. The auctioneer was a white man, but he could speak fluent Cantonese.

After a few simple opening remarks, we will get to the point. The first few auction items are not of high value.

This is also a common practice, first warm up the hot field.

During this period, Liu Qingshan also randomly raised the number plate twice, but it was quickly submerged in other number plates.

"Lot No. [-] is one of the founders of Impressionist oil painting, a work by Edouard Manet. His works have deeply influenced a large number of masters such as Cézanne and Van Gogh."

"The starting price of this work is 100 million pounds, and each increase is no less than [-] pounds."

As soon as the auctioneer finished his introduction, people raised their placards one after another, and the price quickly climbed to more than 150 million pounds.

Liu Qingshan observed, and there were mainly two groups of people raising placards, one group was Westerners, and the other group was the islanders' team.

Manet's works were inspired and influenced by ukiyo-e in the island country in the early days, so they are very well-known and popular in the island country.

More importantly, there was a frenzy of collecting Western art in the island country at this time, and the purchases were very frenzied.

Those few westerners couldn't resist this kind of wealth very quickly. When the price climbed to more than 200 million pounds, they could only shrug their shoulders and withdraw from the competition.

The young and wealthy spokesperson of the Mitsui Group, the guy named Mitsui Ki, even cast a contemptuous look at them, and muttered something, probably something like "I mean everyone here is rubbish" and so on. of.

There is really no one to spread hatred in public.

Liu Qingshan felt that he couldn't take advantage of this guy, so he happened to fight him first, so he also started raising cards, and added [-] pounds at once.

Seeing Hong Yunsheng next to him, the muscles on his face twitched involuntarily.

He knows Liu Qingshan's family background, the total is only [-] pounds, okay?

If the other party refuses to increase the price, it is not in the hands, where to pay more than 200 million pounds?

However, Liu Qingshan has a calm expression on his face. Others don't know his depth. Coupled with the faint smile on the corner of his mouth, he really thinks he is the heir of a big family, the kind who doesn't take money as money .

After Liu Qingshan raised the sign a few times, that Mitsuki also got angry and directly increased the price to 300 million pounds, and then shot Liu Qingshan with provocative eyes.

Such a struggle, of course, attracted the attention of most people in the arena, and there was also a burst of whispering in the hall, probably asking about Liu Qingshan's origin.

With so many people watching, you can't disappoint everyone after all, can you?

Liu Qingshan happily raised the sign again, and didn't add much, just [-], which belongs to the kind of price increase that is not very harmful, but extremely insulting.

Even if the other party refuses to increase the price, Liu Qingshan is not afraid if the painting falls into his hands. Anyway, after his item is auctioned, he can get back a lot of cash.

What he is doing now is mainly to warm up the bidding for a while, otherwise, it would be too eye-catching and too obvious to only bid on that one item.

Sure enough, the young man Mitsuiki couldn't stand the teasing, so he added another [-] at once.

Then Liu Qingshan saw that Fujita Masaichi suddenly approached Mitsuki, nodded and said something, obviously, this guy recognized Liu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, don't add any more."

Hong Yunsheng also saw that the situation was not good, and quickly reminded him in a low voice that he was also afraid that Liu Qingshan would play too much.

Under normal circumstances, Liu Qingshan should also stop. After all, someone in the opponent's camp knew his old background and knew that he was a poor boy who didn't have that much money at all, so he was suspected of making trouble.

However, Liu Qingshan did not play the card according to common sense, and lightly raised the card to add [-], which caused an uproar in the scene.

This price has actually far exceeded the estimated value of this painting.

Liu Qingshan has already made a move, and it depends on how Mitsuigi reacts. More than half of the eyes in the hall are directed at Mitsuiki. Even the auctioneer looks directly at him with full eyes.

This also means that Mitsui enjoys this kind of gaze, but at the same time feels more pressure.

He no longer followed the price blindly, but asked Fujita Masaichi something sternly, while Fujita Masaichi nodded in fear, sweating profusely on his forehead.

"One time for 310, two times for 310..." The auctioneer raised the hammer in his hand.

Sitting beside Liu Qingshan, Hong Yunsheng's back was drenched in cold sweat, and there was only one thought left in his mind: it's over, it's over, this is a real mess!

Just when the small hammer in the hands of the auctioneer was about to drop, someone finally raised a placard, but it was not Mitsuki, but a Westerner with Mediterranean hair not far away.

At this moment, Hong Yunsheng felt his body go limp, and the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.

Liu Qingshan didn't seem to care, and gently raised the number plate, and secretly gave a thumbs up to Victor who just bid: Not bad, the card was raised in time.

Mitsuiki hesitated for a moment, glared at Fujita Masaichi bitterly, and then joined the battle group, looking like he was going to die.

So a new round of competition started again, until the price was raised to 350 million pounds, Liu Qingshan shook his head with a smile and quit the competition.

And Victor also shrugged his shoulders, also expressing his abandonment.

Although Mitsuiki won, he felt as if he had swallowed a fly in his heart, and he didn't feel the pleasure of winning at all.

For the next few auctions, Liu Qingshan also had a sense of presence, but in the end, he got nothing, and he didn't want to get anything at first.
