Chapter 90 Don't Believe in Your Ability to Hide Your Identity

Chapter 90 I don’t believe in your ability to hide your identity

"Baby, there is an art auction in New York tonight, do you want to come with me?" Locke said to Ashley after dinner on Friday morning.

"An auction in New York?" Ashley was stunned for a moment, then said, "I want to attend."

She likes this type of occasion very much, the luxurious upper-class atmosphere, which almost all girls of this age cannot refuse.

Next, she suddenly thought of something: "By the way, will Alice come too?"

"She will also appear, but not with us, but with her classmate Jenny." Locke replied.

After the last escape, Tang Wei felt that she should pay more attention to this best friend and persuade her to stay away from those harmful things.

Fortunately, Jenny was frightened by her experience that night, and she had just started trying it, using an ordinary sandwich. If she was determined, she could still do it.

This auction was held by the largest auction house in New York, and several of the lots were anonymously provided by Locke through overseas accounts.

After the auction, he also agreed to trade with Damon and his daughter, so there was quite a lot going on.

However, Peggy is not interested in things like auctions, nor is she in the mood to go to New York on weekends. She will stay in Fairview Town and Susan will take care of her.

"Good evening, Mr. Channing." Locke shook hands with the other party and then looked at the girl next to Martin Channing.

"Are you Locke?"

Although he already had Alice, he still blatantly had a blonde beauty by his side. He didn't know what evil possessed Alice. He tried to persuade her several times, but he couldn't get her to leave Locke.

"It's my pleasure."

"Hello, Miss Channing." Locke nodded towards the other party, looking at the princess-like Caroline in front of him, who would have thought of what would happen to her in the future.

"Alice, why did you get here?" After a while, Ashley saw Tang Wei and Miss Jenny with her.

The population was originally small, and as time went by, more and more factories lost money, and the manufacturing industry was hollowed out. The original workers either returned to their hometowns or concentrated in urban centers.

There are many places like this in the suburbs around big cities in the United States, and basically no one comes to them.

When he saw Jenny again this time, Locke didn't expect that this young lady was unexpectedly beautiful.

There wasn't much to say about the auction. In the end, I spent $50,000 to buy a Tiffany necklace and a pair of earrings, which I planned to give to Ashley and Tang Wei.

He could still hear the polite words. Most of the readers who liked Arcane Goddess were male, and there were relatively few female readers. The Caroline in front of him didn't look like a girl who liked reading novels of this type.

Shrugging his shoulders, Locke didn't care. Even though he had high charm, he was not invincible. Although Jenny was beautiful, the eldest lady was not easy to take care of, so there was no need for him to please her.

Asian collections in the 1990s were niche auction items and could not be purchased at high prices, mainly because they had not yet become wealthy and buyers had limited power.

Of course, Jenny didn't recognize Locke as the Daredevil who appeared that night. Although she was a little dazzled by Locke's high charm, she soon looked at Locke like a scumbag.

"This is my daughter, Carolyn, who is now attending a private high school in Manhattan."

There was no way, the last time I saw Jenny, her mouth was sealed with tape, her face was covered with tears and snot, and there were slap marks on her face. Her hair was disheveled. It was difficult to think that she was the same person as the current Jenny.

As for collecting them and bringing them back to the Eastern Kingdom, Locke felt that it would be better to invest there and promote more development. Only when the country truly develops can the value of these items representing culture be truly demonstrated.

There were quite a few people who came early, and Locke immediately spotted Martin Channing, whom he had met several times before, with a teenage girl by his side.

The auction in the evening was scheduled to be held at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel. Ashley had already fallen in love with this city from the first time she arrived in New York. There are many high-rise buildings on Manhattan Island, and the night view is almost unrivaled in this era.

"This is the equipment prepared for you." Locke pointed to the two boxes placed in front of him.

At this time, I looked carefully and found that she had a pair of cat eyes like Vivien Leigh. Not only was she very beautiful, but she was also tall, fair-skinned, and her face looked extremely pure, but she exuded a lazy and charming aura.

Among them, Locke provided thirteen pieces. Because there were too many lots, it was impossible to complete the auction in one night, but was divided into four days.

When he first saw the introduction and the low price, Locke even had the urge to take a photo, but quickly gave up.

Everyone chatted politely for a while and then parted ways. Since Locke acquired Sky Fund, Martin Channing stopped promoting his fund in front of him. It can be said that his enthusiasm has been greatly reduced.

"Good evening, Locke." Martin Channing saw Locke and brought the girl over to say hello.

For Locke now, a house is not very practical. After all, he will not live in New York permanently for the past three years. For the time being, the rented hotel apartment is enough.

I have paid attention to antiques in my previous life, but like ordinary people, it was more because of its price, the idea of ​​buying it, and the thought that it would be valuable in the future.

"Hello, Mr. Locke, I really like the books you wrote." Caroline had a decent smile on her face.

"Jenny!" Sensing her best friend's hostility towards Locke, Tang Wei pulled her arm.

When he arrived at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in the evening, the auction had not officially started yet, and the staff quickly led him to the reception hall next to the auction hall.

The latest auction details were handed over to potential customers early, and Locke also got a copy.

Among them, Locke also saw antiques from the Eastern Kingdom, enamel porcelain from the third and third dynasties of the Qing Dynasty, a large underglaze red plate from the Ming Dynasty, and a Longquan celadon jade pot and spring vase from Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. The prices were not high.

Tonight, there was a collection that Locke took out of the treasure house, and it was finally sold for US$5.7 million, during which Locke also raised the price once.

After the auction was over, Locke sent Ashley and Tang Wei back to their hotel apartment in New York, then changed their equipment and went to an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

After observing the surrounding environment, confirming that there was no one around, and setting up the induction magic, Locke contacted Damon and his daughter, and at the same time took out the prepared equipment from the storage space.

About ten minutes later, Damon and his daughter appeared near the abandoned factory.

The auction company holds such an event every year. The auctions launched this time include more than 600 items, covering artworks from all over the world, Japanese samurai armor, and Egyptian exquisite stone carvings. It is worthy of being the largest auction company in the world.

Real enthusiasts pay attention to the ancient art and sense of time in them. Locke does not have such a mentality, so he has never been a real collector and cannot become one.

It's not obvious yet, but there will be more and more abandoned factories of this type in the future.

She once encouraged Locke to buy a "sky" villa in New York with a lawn and a swimming pool on the roof, but Locke was not very interested.

Damon and his daughter took a look at Locke, who was wrapped in a black coat and still had a mask on his face.

Minty couldn't help complaining first: "You are really cautious. Are you still worried that we know your identity?"

"Any secret is no longer a secret as long as the second person knows it. I may trust you not to tell nonsense, but I don't trust your ability to hide your identity."
