Autumn auction scene at Yongle Auction House in Hong Kong City.

When Liang Caixi saw Zhong Yiwen appearing in the telephone auction area, she knew that her beloved BB Holly must have arrived in Hong Kong City.

Maybe you are watching the live broadcast of this autumn auction through the Internet now.

Liang Caixi cheered up and took the stage dignifiedly.

Show your best to Holly.

Tonight’s auction is still dominated by paintings and calligraphy.

However, the scale of Yongle's autumn auction this year was significantly smaller, with only a few dozen calligraphy and painting works, one-third of last year's.

I don’t know whether it was affected by the market environment or whether there was a problem with Yongle’s operations.

Liang Caixi never mentioned these things to Holly.

Several career-oriented women around me are like this. Once they are on the road, they bear the good and the bad by themselves and rarely trouble Holly.

After a while the auction was over, and when Zhong Yiwen brought Liang Caixi over, she asked by the way.

The Wu Guanzhong landscape painting that Holly is interested in is the twenty-third lot tonight, and it is also the lot with the highest starting price.

The starting price is 3800.

The on-site bidding was very fierce at the beginning.

But Zhong Yiwen calmly followed the price. When the price increased to 5800 million, no one followed her.

Liang Caixi dropped the hammer, congratulations to the buyer.

After the auction ended, Liang Caixi hurried to the lounge, "Sister Wen, long time no see."

Hug Yiwen Zhong.

Zhong Yiwen praised: "Miss Liang is beautiful again."

"Thank you, Sister Wen, for the compliment." Liang Caixi said excitedly, "Is bb in Hong Kong City?"

"Yes." Zhong Yiwen nodded, "I came here from Shenzhen a little late last night. The husband was afraid of disturbing your rest and affecting tonight's auction, so he asked me to pick you up today."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Wen."

The rest of the work was handed over to her partner Li Jia.

She got into Zhong Yiwen's car and went to Holly's villa on Repulse Bay Road.

Liang Caixi walked briskly, kicked off her shoes when she entered the house, and went to find Holly with bare feet.

Holly sat in the restaurant and smiled, "Dinner is ready for you, Miss Liang."

Liang Caixi smiled happily, lay on his shoulder, and kissed Holly's neck deeply, "Thank you, my dear bb."

Sit down and eat.

Zhong Yiwen said: "Sir, the final transaction price of Wu Guanzhong's painting was 5800 million."

Holly shook his head and said, "Is the market so shabby?
Or maybe those rich people have found a better harbor for their funds.

I originally thought this painting would fetch at least 70 to 80 million. "

Liang Caixi ate her meal and said, "BB probably hasn't paid attention to the auction market for a long time.

Auction houses are now also in a winner-takes-all era. Sotheby's and Christie's have become more competitive this year. Only poly profits in China are relatively stable. The transaction volumes of other small and medium-sized auction houses have declined this year.

It's even more obvious here in Hong Kong City, especially at my old club Sotheby's. The newly appointed managing director Qian Jin is ruthless.

They want to drive all of us small and medium-sized auction houses to death. "

Holly said: "Is this acting for her personal performance without considering the larger ecosystem of this industry?

No wonder I saw the size of your autumn auction yesterday, and it was more than half smaller than last year. "

Liang Caixi nodded: "Yes, bb, it's pretty good that we are alive now.

Several major clients that were negotiated this year were all snatched away by Qian Jin.

The turnover was directly cut in half. "

Holly smiled: “I want to compete with Christie’s, an old rival, by squeezing your market.

You can’t even get this money in. "

Sotheby's transaction volume last year was 80 billion US dollars, about to billion yuan.

Christie's turnover last year was US$84 billion, and the two auction houses almost divided the global market.

Now Sotheby's is playing this trick in China, blatantly grabbing the identity of its agents, in order to eat up all the small and medium-sized auction houses.

A little too much. Liang Caixi noticed the change in Holly's expression, which became a little serious.

He reached out and held Holly's hand: "Don't worry, bb, even if the turnover is cut by more than half, we are still a very profitable auction house."

Holly was at the dinner table and didn't say much.

Have a good dinner with your little mixed-race lover.

The two of them took a bath together in the evening, and when Liang Caixi gave him a bath, he talked about it again, "I came here this time also at the invitation of Miss Hua, the chairman of Sotheby's China, to attend the 50th anniversary cocktail party.

You come with me then, I also want to meet this Ms. Qian Jin. "

Liang Caixi realized that Holly was serious.

Be prepared to help her solve the current problem.

"BB, I have been paying attention to all your movements during this period. I know that you have spent a lot of energy on your career. I don't want to distract you anymore because of these things." Liang Caixi said bluntly, " When you are questioned by the outside world, when you are exhausted physically and mentally, I should be by your side, but I failed to do it.

I failed to fulfill my obligations as your woman..."

Holly tilted his head to look at her delicate face and interrupted, "What do you want to express?"

"Since I can't share the burden for you, I don't want to cause any trouble to you." Liang Caixi said.

Holly said: "In three years since Yongle was founded, you have become a billion-level auction house. I am proud of you.

You remember, among your personal connections and business resources, I will always be the most solid and reliable.

So don't say anything that bothers me, I don't like it. "

Liang Caixi pursed her lips, smiled on her face, and nodded.

Hug Holly from behind.

The two bodies fit together.

"BB, have you ever thought about me in your spare time?"

Change the subject and talk about love.

Holly said: "I often dream about it."

Liang Caixi smiled and said: "It must not be a healthy dream."

"Did you also notice this?"

"Because I occasionally have the same dream."

Holly reached out and hugged her to the front, "It's always nice when dreams come into reality, isn't it?"

He lowered his head and smelled the fragrance on her smooth shoulders.

Liang Caixi took the initiative to kiss Holly.

The two kissed passionately, got up from the bathtub, wiped themselves off, and fell on the bed in a lingering way.

Look at each other with appreciative eyes and enjoy the step-by-step process.

……

On the day of the 50th anniversary reception at Sotheby's in Hong Kong, Liang Caixi wore a burgundy high top and said, "BB, are you okay?"

Holly walked up and hugged her from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder. Looking at the gorgeous and sexy beauty in the mirror, he praised, "Where did this diva come from and was ready to walk on the red carpet?"

Liang Caixi was amused by Holly, turned around and held Holly's face, "It's not the queen, it's the little woman in your heart, Liang Caixi."

He stood on tiptoes and kissed Holly, "BB, the makeup artist is here, I'm going to put on makeup."

Holly nodded, "Let's see you dominate the audience tonight."

He also simply tidied up himself, mainly focusing on his clothes. There was no need to decorate his appearance and temperament.

His name alone would brighten up tonight's reception.

At 5:30 in the afternoon, the driver drove out and took them to the hotel to attend the 50th anniversary cocktail party of Sotheby's in Hong Kong City.

The guests invited to participate today include not only well-known financial groups and collectors in Hong Kong City, but also owners of other auction houses.

Qian Jin, the newly appointed managing director, intended to put pressure on his peers at a heavy reception, using Sotheby's position in the industry, strong influence, and financial resources to convince small and medium-sized auction houses to follow them.

She didn't expect Holly to come to the scene, because Holly rarely attended such receptions now, and he didn't attend invitations from several major auction houses.

She even didn't expect that the female companion Holly brought today was Liang Caixi, the founder of Yongle Auction House.
