Chapter 451 - The person to wait for in the end of the years 5
It seemed that the number of people at this auction was at least a hundred.
I looked around and saw that the surrounding area was covered with ck cloth, so I was curious,
"What''s around here?"
Jackie lowered her voice and spoke, "is Newton Town''s a lot of collectors'' treasure. After the auction
begins, this ck cloth will be ripped open. These treasures will be revealed, to the people who came
to the auction and want to get some knowledge."
I nodded, well, it was really the first time to see such an auction.
My phone vibrated and it was Toby calling. When I picked up the phone, he said, "Mrs. George,e
to the front row."
I was stunned, subconsciously looked over and saw Toby standing in front of me near the auction table,
so I couldn''t help but say, "You can sit behind here."
He opened his mouth, "Dennis has arranged for you, in the front row with a better line of sight."
I can''t help but look at Jackie. She naturally also saw Toby, can''t help but excitedly said, "Sitting in the
front row can clearly see the auction items. The key is that you also can roughly know a circle of
Newton Town''s major tycoons."
Saying that, she looked at me and her gaze was somewhat pitiful, "ra, I know Dennis has arranged
for you, begging to bring."
Speaking into the phone, I didn''t know what to say for a moment, and after thinking about it, I said,
"Toby, I''m with Jackie, is that okay?"
Toby was stunned, then nodded, "Yes!"
I couldn''t help but say thank you, hung up the phone and looked at Jackie who was full of expectation
and said, "Let''s go together!"
If it weren''t for the crowd and the need to keep quiet, she would have wanted to scream with
excitement at this point.
She could only cover her mouth and whisper, "Great, ra, you''re too good."
I smiled and went with her to the front row.
Sitting in the front row, Toby switched number tes for Jackie and me, and then slipped me a ck
card.
I was a little confused and looked at him and wondered, "What''s wrong?"
He said, "Dennis said that if you have a favoriteter, just call, this card is enough for you."
"Holy shit!" Jackie on the side couldn''t help but burst out, "Dennis is tantly disying affection."
Looking at Toby, she spoke, "Can you stand it?"
Toby raised his hand and touched his nose, coughed dryly and said, "I''m used to it!"
Jackie gave him a thumbs up and praised, "Hero!"
Looking at these two, I couldn''t help but say, "Don''t make a fuss. I can''t use this card. I just came to
have a look. I don''t intend to buy anything."
The prices of things in this auction went from a million RMB, and I was not going to spend that much
money to buy a bunch of antiques that I can''t appreciate.
I shoved the ck card in my hand to Toby, but he didn''t take it, he just said, "Take it, Dennis asked me
to give it to you on purpose. You can use it anytime in the future even if you don''t use it today."
Knowing that he would not take it back, so I did not continue. Nearly all people came in.
The host on the auction stage said a bunch of very polite opening remarks, then began.
The first auction item was a piece of jewelry, said the Chinese imperial concubine''s favorite thing in
Ming dynasty.
Jackie curled her lips and said, "Only the White family dares to auction off artifacts in such a tant
manner."
I didn''t know much about this, so I looked at her sideways and wondered, "What''s wrong?"
She raised her finger and pointed to the jewelry and said, "Most of the Ming dynasty things in China
have been taken away by museums, but such beautiful jewelry is still in the hands of the White family,
and this is also put up for auction. But the White family is not what small family, the relevant institutions
have long found them, give a nothing worth the honorary certificate, and then give a bonus of five
hundred dors. This thing is tantly taken away. So you can see how arrogant the White family is.
They do not know the value of this stuff for many years, now they are so tantly put out to auction. "
She whispered, "Listen carefully, the price is tens of millions. If put in the hands of ordinary people, five
hundred can not be more."
I pursed my lips, and can not help but slightly sigh. For some rules, there was no way we can change.
The higher you climbed, the higher you stood. The more things you have seen that were not in the
mainstream, and if you are not careful, you will easily beplicit and help the enemy.
Eventually that jewelry was auctioned off by an elderly man and it was 10 million RMB.
This kind of thing was already amon urrence.
Not surprising.
The second auction was a set of jadeite. I heard that the White family went to Zuy for business in the
90s. The old Mr. White brought back from Zuy to his beloved wife.
Well, although this jadeite was the best jadeite, but because of the missing of a bracelet, the price only
shot to five million RMB.
Toby looked, could not help but frown, and with some thoughtful look.
I looked at the auction and felt a little bored, and could not help but talk to Jackie.
Jackie''s eyes have walked around the entire auction floor, will be able to look at almost everywhere all
once.
I looked around, and spoke, "If someone saved up to get something to take away today. I guess they
could all depend it for the rest of their lives."
Jackie twitched the corners of her mouth and looked at me speechlessly and said, "No, see? The
things that keep those treasures are made of extremely hard diamond. And next to these things, there
are two experts standing watching. There is no way for a normal person to get close, and these things,

every five minutes, there will be a professional check."
"That sandalwood box is here, look!" Jackie looked to the auction table, patted me and spoke.
I turned around and looked over. And sure enough, there was a box on the auction stage exactly like
the one my grandmother gave me.
The host stood on the stage and audibly introduced the origin of the sandalwood box, "You must be
wondering why we are auctioning such an extraordinarily ordinary box in design and workmanship, and
even materials, right?"
