Ye Qingyang got off the plane, said goodbye to Jin Meixi, and was taken to a five-star hotel by Chen Shixiong.
At this time, in a luxurious suite, Chen Shixiong and Chen Ao, father and son, were chatting enthusiastically with Ye Qingyang.
"Mr. Ye, thanks to you, the business of Qingzhou Tourism Base is booming. Mayor Wei Qing and I should both thank you!" Chen Shixiong said.
"You're welcome! You should do it for the benefit of Qingzhou!" Ye Qingyang said straight to the point: "I came here this time because I want to meet Dong Zhenguo, the chairman of Zhenguo Group, to discuss important matters!"
"Understood!" Chen Shixiong nodded: "Although I have no friendship with Dong Zhenguo, our Huaxiong Group is quite famous in Kyoto. If I take you to see Dong Zhenguo, he should give you face to receive you!"
"No need!" Ye Qingyang said: "I want to meet him secretly and don't want anyone outside to know."
After all, Dong Zhenguo is now the contact person of Group X, and his every move is in the eyes of Group X.
If Ye Qingyang openly contacts Dong Zhenguo, it will definitely arouse the suspicion of Group X.
"I just need Dong Zhenguo's exact location, that's all!" Ye Qingyang said lightly.
"No problem!" Chen Shixiong said: "I will send someone to confirm Dong Zhenguo's specific residence and give Mr. Ye an accurate location!"
"Okay!" Ye Qingyang nodded, and then looked at Chen Ao: "Master Chen, how are you collecting spiritual stones recently?"
Currently, Ye Qingyang's Spirit Gathering Formation has built six base points, with two more to go.
Therefore, when I came here this time, I also wanted to ask about the spiritual stones.
Chen Ao had a look of embarrassment on his face: "Mr. Ye, to be honest, the market has been bad recently, and I have hardly received any decent spiritual stones! It may be that we worked too hard before, so we probably need to slow down a bit!"
"Yes, I understand!" Ye Qingyang nodded.
"But!" Chen Ao said: "Tomorrow there will be a grand jewelry auction at the Beishan Exhibition Hall in Kyoto! This auction will be unprecedentedly grand. There will be many high-quality gems and jade for auction. I heard that there are also many ancient gems.
The emperor's personal jade, many wealthy people from the upper class will participate in this auction! Maybe we can get some treasures by going to the auction!"
When Ye Qingyang heard this, his eyes lit up.
Although most of the exhibits at this kind of auction are just pretense, there will indeed be one or two treasures.
If you can get one or two pieces, it's not a worthwhile trip.
After all, after the spirit-gathering formation was set up, its effect was extremely obvious, and he wanted to complete the formation as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go to the auction with you tomorrow!" Ye Qingyang said.
Afterwards, Chen Shixiong and his son invited Ye Qingyang, Ye Xuan and Mr. Hu to have a sumptuous dinner and left in a hurry.
Mr. Hu went out to have a good time that night, but he didn't come back.
The next day, Ye Qingyang took Ye Xuan and went to Beishan Exhibition Hall to participate in the auction with Chen Ao.
Kitayama Exhibition Hall is a historic exhibition hall in Kyoto, specializing in the exhibition of some antiques and jade.
The exhibition hall has three floors, and this auction will be held in the auction venue on the third floor.
When Ye Qingyang followed Chen Ao to the venue, it was already crowded with people.
"There are indeed a lot of rich people in Kyoto! They are completely different from Qingzhou!" Ye Xuan sighed with her eyes wide open.
Although she had been to Kyoto several times before, she always went to the big boss and didn't have much contact with other people and things in Kyoto.
But now, these people in front of me are all very well-dressed, exquisitely dressed, and elegant in their movements. At first glance, they are the elites of the upper class.
Ye Qingyang smiled and said: "Yi Zi, Qingzhou is not comparable to Kyoto. Kyoto is the capital of a country. In terms of humanities, economy and the number of elites from all walks of life, Qingzhou is far incomparable!"
"Yeah!" Ye Xuan nodded.
"Mr. Ye, the auction will start soon!" Chen Ao reminded.
"good!"
Ye Qingyang sat upright and looked at the auction booth.
At this time, the auctioneer began to display the auction items one by one, and the host also introduced them hard.
The rich and powerful tycoons, with their eyes shining brightly, are calculating the most cost-effective price to buy their beloved orbs.
However, Ye Qingyang looked lazy, almost falling asleep.
Chen Ao asked softly: "Mr. Ye, isn't there anything you like?"
"Well!" Ye Qingyang said: "It's all more name than reality, it's not interesting!"
"oh!"
Chen Ao nodded, slightly embarrassed.
After all, he was the one who recommended Ye Qingyang to come. As a result, the auction was almost coming to an end, and Ye Qingyang didn't choose any of them.
At this time, the staff carried a glass display cabinet covered with red cloth to the booth, and then removed the red cloth.
There was actually a token inside.
The token is made of some kind of metal and is about the size of a human palm. Two lifelike dragons are carved on the front of the token, with a white orb shining brightly in the middle.
"Gentlemen and ladies, this is the third to last auction item in our auction today, called the Flying Dragon Token!"
"According to historical records, this token was held by a Taoist monk in the Pre-Qin Dynasty. It was later taken by the royal family as his own, and a pearl was inlaid in the middle of the token, forming a scene of two dragons playing with the pearl!"
"What we are going to auction today is this priceless orb. The starting price is 3 million, and the minimum bid increase is 100,000. The auction begins now!"
...
For a moment, everyone raised their placards one after another.
Everyone has heard that this orb is the most beloved one of the pre-Qin royal family, and its historical value alone is worth tens of millions.
"Four million!"
"4.5 million!"
"5.5 million!"
...
People raised their placards one after another, and the price went up.
However, at this moment, a golden sign was raised high, and a crisp female voice sounded.
"10 million!"
Wow!
Instantly, the whole place was in an uproar.
They all looked at the sign holder behind them.
It was a young woman, wearing a white suit, spotless, with a very delicate appearance, red lips, white teeth, and picturesque eyebrows. She had short hair that reached her ears, and looked very capable.
"Miss Dong takes action!"
"It is said that Miss Dong loves jade, but today is the only time she takes action. She must have concentrated all her financial resources to lock up this auction item!"
"I won't follow you anymore, I can't afford to follow you!"
...
However, some wealthy people refused to give in and raised their cards one after another.
"11 million!"
"12 million!"
"15 million!"
...
Miss Dong raised her sign again: "20 million!"
"Fuck!"
Everyone was surprised again.
As expected, she was very generous. Every time she raised the price, it was above 5 million. It seemed that she was determined to get this auction item.
Everyone began to hesitate.
At this time, Ye Qingyang opened his eyes and slowly raised the sign.
