Zou Yijun bought this jade pendant at a super high price of 102 million U.S. dollars. His expression was quite complicated, and he couldn't see whether he was happy or worried. He left the scene after the bidding. The auction item had to wait for the successful bidder to pay the full price before handing over. If the party fails to pay the full amount, the deposit will be in vain.
Many people suspect that Zou Yijun would do this. Although this rich man from China has a wealth of wealth, he is not so big as to spend 700 million yuan to buy a piece of jade pendant. Moreover, this piece of jade pendant is not like other cultural relics, celebrity calligraphy and painting. There is room for speculation and appreciation. It's nothing more than a gadget worn by politicians in the Republic of China. One hundred million US dollars can buy a large pile of sheep fat and white jade.
Similarly, the items that Liu Yan photographed directly have to wait for the full payment to be withdrawn. He did not wait for Hannibal and was in a bad mood. He soon left the venue and saw Chen Jiao still sitting in the back row when he left, watching The staff on the stage removed the jade pendant from the glass box, reluctant to give up feelings of sorrow and sorrow. As a child, she should keep her father’s relics, but as a mother, she needs to be responsible for the debts of her son. Only her granddaughter can Understanding the old man's mood, sitting with him quietly, Liu Handong who was passing by showed a grateful smile.
That night, the auction house was stolen, and that astronomical jade pendant was lost!
Sotheby’s is the world’s top auction house, and the security measures are also top-notch, but the auction items are also divided into different categories. The reserve price of jade pendants is relatively low, so the level of security enjoyed is not that high, and there is no dedicated staff to do it. The 24-hour guards only took some technical security. Now the things are lost before they are handed over. Naturally, the auction house is fully responsible. Fortunately, they bought insurance, and the loss will eventually be passed on to the insurance company. Zou Yijun hasn’t Naturally, there was no loss in the payment, but he felt extremely upset and thunderously threatened to sue the auction house.
……
Long Island, New York, Chen Jiao’s house is a two-story wooden building. The old lady doesn’t like living in a prosperous place like Manhattan. She bought this other business on Long Island a few years ago, but she didn’t expect it to be the last one. A place to stay.
At night, Chen Jiao lay on the bed to read. Reading before going to bed was her long-standing habit. She lay on the left side of the bed and the right side was reserved for her husband. Tan He's gentle smile was frozen in the frame on the bedside table, musician Chen Jiao, who had passed away the previous year, lived in this house alone, and was accompanied by a cat of the same age.
After reading a chapter, Chen Jiao was about to fall asleep, and suddenly realized something was wrong. The community where she lived was quite safe, and there were no blacks and Mexicans. But she felt as if someone was peeping outside the window. At such a close distance, it was too late to call the police. Chen Jiao Reached his hand under the pillow and drew out a nickel-plated .38 caliber revolver. Chen Zikun's family are all good at making firearms, and she is no exception.
The hair of the old cat exploded and jumped on the window sill and back again.
"Who is there?" Chen Jiao yelled. There was no movement outside. She walked over with a gun and found that the window was not closed and a gap was missing. So she closed the window tightly and turned around, only to find that there were on the bedside table. A piece of jade pendant, the stolen jade pendant returned unexpectedly.
Chen Jiao was shocked. She has lived for eighty years. It is not strange that she has never experienced it, but it is a memory from a very young age.
"Could it be that you have been with my father for so many years, and now that you have aura, you came back by yourself?" Chen Jiao picked up the jade pendant and asked in a daze.
Yu Pei did not answer.
Chen Jiao sighed, and then said, "You can't fly back by yourself. People paid a lot of money to buy you, and you ran away. Isn't this wrong to me? You are a handsome jade pendant.
A voice sounded: "It's just a gift, don't think so much."
Chen Jiao was taken aback, took the gun and asked, "Who are you?"
"Santa Claus." The voice replied, "I didn't bring a gift last time. I will make it up today."
After hearing this, Chen Jiao was confused at first, and then trembling all over. It is not winter now. Christmas is early. Since childhood, she will receive many gifts every Christmas. No one owes this, except 1948. That Christmas...
"You...you are the one who took me to fly on the top of the first department store...the traverser!" Chen Jiao was excited. After 70 years, the traverser appeared again, making Chen Jiao, a devout Christian, unable to I don’t believe that this is God’s will, a miracle.
Seeing the other party remembering his origins, Liu Yanzhi showed up openly. He jumped in from the window and said, "Sorry, I made you wait for seventy years."
"No, it's not too late." Chen Jiao recognized Liu Yanzhi. She had seen him at the auction. As for the person she met at the age of nine, his appearance has long been annihilated in the long river of memory. A fragment of the clock tower flying with snowflakes.
"You are old." Liu Yan said with emotion.
"People, always get old." Chen Jiao was very calm, "Drink coffee, I will make a pot, it seems that your appearance has not changed."
Liu Yan said straight: "I will accompany you."
Chen Jiao is wearing pajamas and holding a candlestick. There are electric lights in the house. Holding the candlestick is just her hobby. She went to the kitchen downstairs to make coffee with Liu Yanzhi and chatted by the way. The naive little girl is now an eighty-year-old. , She won’t ask you if it’s Santa Claus, she just asks.
"You can travel freely through time and space, right, sir."
"Yes."
"Then you must not wear casual clothes, right? You are correcting history. If I am not wrong, my father is a very important figure in history, so you will be safe 70 years ago. Visit my house at night."
Liu Yan nodded straight ~EbookFREE.me~ Then, I would like to ask you to change the fate of my elder brother and sister, okay? "Chen Jiao said, "Fate shouldn't treat them like this." "
Liu Yan thought for a while, and felt a little embarrassed. His porridge hasn’t been cold. There is no time to take care of the children of the old Chen’s family. However, it is inhumane to refuse, so he vaguely said: "I will fight for it, but even if it changes. Their fate, I am afraid that they will not survive now, and you will still not see them when you wake up tomorrow."
Chen Jiao said: "That's not important."
"What is important?"
"It is more important for me that they can have less suffering."
The coffee was brewed, and Chen Jiao poured Liu Yan a cup. The two sat and chatted for a while. Chen Jiao said, "The person I want to bid for 100 million U.S. dollars must be more important than me."
This is a euphemism. Chen Jiao is a decent person. She has made a decision to sell these things. It is one thing for someone to buy them and give them to herself, and it is another thing to steal them. She will not accept stolen goods, but neither Will force Liu Yanzhi what to do.
"Well, I'll go back." Liu Yan said straight, "The Christmas gift is gone."
Chen Jiao said: "Actually, I prefer the gift substitute last time and take me to fly."
Liu Yan said straightly: "If you like, just fly again."
Under the moonlit night, there were two people flying in the sky of Long Island.
