Chapter 358 - A New Journey – An Unexpected Joy

After this hearty breakfast was finished, it was past nine o'clock.

According to the agreement, we should have a matchmaking with Sotheby's before the start of the special auction of wrong coins.

But considering that Ya Liang and Qian Kun have not yet arrived, and Mr. Jin in Macau has not moved, Ou Yiran decides to take a tour of the city of Dubai first.

In order to avoid being surrounded by enthusiastic crowds, Ou Zhou, Jiang Yang, Shui Jingxin and Ke Feier still travel in disguise.The two little girls Shui Mingyue and Ying Yue'er also booed.

The two mothers then made a different type of dress for them, changing Shui Mingyue into a blonde little beauty, but changing Yingyue'er, who was originally a blonde little beauty, into an oriental little beauty.

The two little girls looked at the mirror carefully for a long time, and asked their mothers to teach them this skill.The two mothers happily agreed.

In one morning, everyone was sightseeing in the Burj Khalifa, climbed to the highest point to look out, went to the shopping mall to browse, and watched in the entertainment center.

I don't know how many times I sat up and down the vertical ladder or the slope ladder.

The happy time is fleeting, and the time for lunch will arrive in a flash. Sitting in the western restaurant on the top of the tower, everyone is enjoying lunch.

Ou Yiran received a call from Ya Liang, saying that the flight was about to take off and he would arrive in Dubai in the middle of the afternoon.

After Ou Yiran asked about the specific landing time of the flight, he told about his accommodation.After hanging up the phone, Shui Jingxin booked another room for Ya Liang and Qian Kun.Also on this floor.

Just after I finished speaking, Mr. Jin from Macau also called and said he would be there in the afternoon.

Ou Yiran let Shui Jingxin book another room.

Then I contacted Sotheby's and told me to go to meet at nine o'clock tomorrow morning.

In Dubai, which is on the Tropic of Cancer, the weather in late May is very hot, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as scorching heat.

I hope that the itinerary of visiting Palm Island in the afternoon will be terminated due to the heat and high temperature.

It wasn't until Ya Liang, Qian Kun and Mr. Jin arrived that everyone went out after six o'clock to visit the nearby Dubai Mall. The main purpose was to watch the underwater world carefully for the children.

The night of feasting and feasting is graceful and graceful, and the tourists wandering in the square are full of luxury goods. Just looking at the price tags can blind your eyes.

The dinner did not go back to the Burj Khalifa, but was used in the Dubai Mall.

Because of the three new arrivals, Ou Yiran deliberately ordered a few more dishes, ordered a few bottles of good red wine, and drank slowly with them, talking long and short.

After the female guests have eaten and drank enough, those who are willing to continue to play can go to play, and those who are not willing to play and want to go back, the Burj Khalifa is just across the road.

After all, the men's world is different from the women's world. Seeing the men full of pride, Yun Lei is naturally not far behind. If she doesn't leave, the others will naturally sit aside and watch the fun.

The meal lasted until ten o'clock because of the wine.All the people left the wine table.

As soon as I went out, the oppressive heat remained unabated.

Fortunately, the Burj Khalifa is right in front of us, cross the road, and we will arrive.

Back in the luxurious guest room, after washing up, each sleep peacefully.

After breakfast the next morning, Ou Yiran, Yaliang, Mr. Jin, and Qian Kun went out to take a taxi and went to Sotheby's auction site at the Burj Al Arab, where they had the final meeting before the auction.

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, Shui Jingxin and Ke Feier discussed whether to go to Jumeirah Beach Park to swim and enjoy the scenery.

The two young mothers went to ask their mothers for their opinions, and the answer they got was that they came for fun, why not go.

As a result, seventeen people, big and small, went out, took a luxury minibus from the hotel, and went to Jumeirah Beach Park.

Here, Ou Yiran, Yaliang, Mr. Jin and Qian Kun arrived at the sailing hotel, and the person in charge of Sotheby's auction company came to pick them up and took them to the office.

The sailing hotel is located on the coast of the ocean and connected to the land by a bridge.Before the Burj Khalifa, the Burj Al Arab was a landmark building in Dubai.

Sotheby's set up the wrong coin special event in this hotel, which shows how much it attaches importance to.

As soon as he entered the office, the manager immediately asked, "Mr. Ou, you came here when Dream Cruises showed up in Dubai last night. What is the relationship between you and Dream Cruises?"

Ou Yiran never expected the manager to ask such a question, looked at each other with Ya Liang, Qian Kun and Mr. Jin, and said, "To be honest, the Dream Cruise belongs to my son and classmates, and I did come here on the Dream Cruise. "

The manager slammed his right fist into his left palm and said, "Oh, Mr. Ou, why didn't you say it earlier, if such a good gimmick is publicized, all the rich and powerful people will come to bid for it. You don't know you How strong is the son's influence?"

Ou Yiran smiled and said: "If it's for this reason, I think it's better to avoid it. I don't want to rely on my son's influence to auction these wrong coins."

"Mr. Ou, it's no longer a matter of whether you want it or not. Almost all the bidders have called to inquire about this matter. Because they know the name of the collection provider of this wrong coin auction, and it happened that the dream cruise ship Arrived in Dubai. Since yesterday morning, there have been calls from bidders to inquire one after another. Those who were originally entrusted by phone have changed to visit the scene in person. And the sense of smell of the reporters is even more sensitive. If you read these newspapers, you and Dream The cruise ships are connected."

Ou Yiran flipped through the newspapers, and sure enough, all major local newspapers made the same thing about the auction and the Dream Cruises.

"Although you chose to arrive in Dubai at midnight, but now is the information age, and the news spread to every corner almost the moment you arrived at the Burj Khalifa."

Ou Yiran sighed: "This is indeed an unexpected event. My son originally planned to take a family trip, so this auction came out."

Mr. Jin smiled and said, "Mr. Ou, this is not a bad thing. We didn't deliberately promote it, but the media insisted on reporting it like this. It has nothing to do with us!"

Graciously continued: "Yes, Mr. Ou, since the media is fueling the flames, why not do it!"

Qian Kun smiled and said: "The matter has come to this point, you can neither admit nor deny it, the more obscure and mysterious it is, the more it can arouse the buyer's curiosity, let everything take its course!"

Ou Yiran said: "But this is not our subjective wish. What should we do if the buyer asks to see Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang?"

"I'll see you then, isn't it because of this that the participants came here enthusiastically?" Qian Kun urged.

The manager said: "Mr. Ou, you can think about this matter yourself. Just like what Mr. Qian said, you neither admit nor deny it. If you really want to see Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, you can easily shirk it."

Ou Yiran nodded and said, "That's the only way to go."

The manager showed Ou Yiran the reserve price and estimated transaction price album of each lot.

After reading it, Ou Yiran handed it to Ya Liang, and Ya Liang handed it to Mr. Jin after reading it, and finally it went into Qian Kun's hands.

Qian Kun saw at a glance that the starting price of his 600,000-yuan and 50-yuan watermark in the [-] edition was [-] yuan, and the estimated transaction price was around [-] million, so he was greatly disappointed.

Originally, he thought about hundreds of millions of dollars!

However, the words of the manager of Sotheby's auction company pushed his overdue by a large margin.

"Mr. Ou, in view of the sudden appearance of Dream Cruises in Dubai, the media has brought together the auction collection holders with the cruise ship. We judge that this auction may greatly exceed expectations. And, according to the data, the two days The occupancy rate of high-end guests at Burj Al Arab and Burj Khalifa is much higher than before. The influx of these high-end customers is inseparable from Dream Cruises and this auction.”

"What about the number plates that participated in the auction?" Ou Yiran asked.

"The auction participants have arrived one after another in the past two days. The pre-made number plates have been issued, and the new number plates are still being produced. It is hard to say how many people will enter the auction in the end."

"Well, how many people can the auction site accommodate?"

"500 people."

"According to your judgment, is the scene of 500 people enough?"

"Now it seems that it may not be enough."

"What should I do?"

"The filming will start the day after tomorrow, so I'm a bit nervous about changing to a bigger venue. The most important thing is that the Burj Al Arab is wondering if there is a bigger venue that is vacant?"

Mr. Jin said: "Ask now!"

The manager then picked up the phone and called the general department of the hotel.Q: Are there any venues that can accommodate thousands of people?

The General Affairs Department said that there is one room on the top floor of the sailing hotel, which can accommodate 500 people.

The manager said that the existing auction site should be changed to the conference hall on the roof.

Of course, there is no problem with the hotel. The bigger the venue, the higher the fee, let alone the one on the roof?

That's how it was settled.

The manager was about to rearrange the auction site, so Ou Yiran and Ya Liang followed the manager up to the big meeting room on the roof to have a look.

In the oval venue, you only need to remove the table on the rostrum and set up an auctioneer's seat. The large screens and speakers on both sides are top-end versions.

Opening the golden Bauhinia curtains, the magnificent beauty of the sea and the sky rushes in, the field of vision is limited, and the heart stretches infinitely.

Not to mention participating in the bidding and buying, just one stop here, the pride of the world has already arisen spontaneously.

Ou Yiran stood in front of the window admiring, dazzled for a while.

The general department of the hotel moved quickly and had already arranged for workers to come in and start the layout.

Ou Yiran bid farewell to the manager, went down to the first floor, and prepared to take a taxi back.

At this time, Ou Zhou called. After asking about the situation, he asked them to take a taxi and go directly to Jumeirah Beach Park. After the meeting, they had seafood at noon.

On the way, he said with a smile, "This is really a surprise. Without our publicity, the local media began to sing praises. I didn't expect the influence of Dream Cruises to be so great."

Ou Yiran smiled with a bit of complacency: "You haven't seen the bustling scene when we were heading to the Straits of Malacca, Singapore Ferry Terminal dispatched eight speedboats and invited us to enjoy free board and lodging on the high seas!"

Mr. Jin continued: "If a businessman can't see the powerful wealth effect of Dream Cruises, then he is not a good businessman."

"Yes, the dream cruise ship arrived at the port at noon that day, and the hotel we stayed in was overcrowded at night. A large number of reporters blocked the door and refused to leave. Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang had to travel in disguise. Just like last night."

Qian Kun continued: "Mr. Ou, this time has delayed your luck. If my [-] watermark can be sold for a good price, I will invite you to live in the presidential suite of Burj Khalifa."

"Mr. Qian, let's have a date, don't see each other like this!"

Graciously continued: "Yes, Mr. Qian, there is no need for that."

While talking, I arrived at Jumeirah Beach Park, called to find out where it was, and the four of them looked for it.
