Xia Ruofei waved his hand with a smile and said, "This place is safe enough, there is no need, and I am not used to staying in the same room with so many people!"

Liu Qian also said: "Mr. Feng, all the 36th floors and above the hotel are closed, and only those participating in the auction can enter. Moreover, the top floor is also equipped with strong security forces, but they are all on the periphery of the suite. Safety should be no problem."

Feng Jing nodded and said, "That's good. I just think this batch of goods is too expensive, but don't make any mistakes..."

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "Don't worry about safety. Liu Qian, let's talk about the preparations here!"

"Okay!" Liu Qian calmed down.

She was originally just Feng Jing's assistant. This was the first time she was sent out to work and was the first time she was on her own. Obviously, the company was intending to train her. Now facing the company's chairman, general manager and two directors, she couldn't help but feel a trace of invisible pressure.

Liu Qian cleared her throat and said, "Mr. Xia, Mr. Feng, Director Dong, Director Pang, Hengfeng Group and its auction house attach great importance to this auction, and they have unconditionally met some of the requirements we put forward. The preparations for the entire auction can be said to be very smooth..."

Then, Liu Qian reported her work in Hong Kong Island these days and finally said: "As of 3:00 this afternoon, the auction house has received a total of HK$386 million in auction deposits. The total number of companies and individuals who have signed up for the auction has exceeded 200. In addition, we have also invited some media reporters, so tomorrow's auction will be held in the conference hall No. 1, which can accommodate 800 people!"

Each auction quota is generally allowed to enter three people, and of course, everyone will not fully use the quota. In addition, with media reporters and staff, the venue in the No. 1 conference hall is definitely enough.

Xia Rufei nodded and asked, "Have you counted the list of companies and individuals participating in the auction?"

"I have a copy that is up to twelve o'clock today!" Liu Qian said quickly.

She handed Xia Rufei the folder with the list and continued: "This list is updated every three hours. I got it at noon. Later I went to pick it up. Before I could get the new list."

Xia Ruofei smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just take a look..."

Tomorrow is the day of the auction. Those who are interested in registering must have paid the auction deposit long ago. There is no need to hide such things, and there is no need to block the final deadline to register. It is completely meaningless.

There is only a few hours apart. Even the latest list is not much different from the one Liu Qian got.

Xia Rufei opened the folder and said, "Liu Qian is doing a good job! She has a very meticulous job! The bonus this month has doubled!"

Liu Qian was overjoyed, not because she had too many bonuses. Although as a general assistant, doubled the bonus was also a considerable number, more because she was recognized by the chairman, which would be of great benefit to her future development in the company, especially during this period when the company was interested in cultivating her.

Xia Rufei quietly looked through the list, and Liu Qian sat there with a little heart. She couldn't help but recall the scene when she entered Taoyuan Company.

At that time, Liu Qian chose to interview a startup company far away from the city. She hesitated for a long time, but when she walked into Taoyuan Farm, she immediately fell in love with the environment there.

What impressed Liu Qian the most was that she also regarded her boss Xia Rufei as an interviewer. Later, for a long time, she had the urge to get into the cracks in the ground when she saw Xia Rufei.

More than a year has passed, and she has grown from a young man who has just stepped out of university to an assistant to the general manager of Taoyuan Company. As the general assistant in such a company with unlimited development potential, her future can be said to have unlimited possibilities.

This is a situation that Liu Qian didn't dare to imagine when she first joined the company.

Naturally, she cherishes such an opportunity very much.

Xia Rufei saw many familiar names on the list, including Guo Hongjiang, Zheng Jianian and other Hong Kong tycoons, as well as American shoe tycoon Lofis, Romanian tycoon Nikola, etc., all of whom participated in the auction last time, and this time they still came here in person.

In addition, Xia Ruofei also saw the name of Shengbang Group, but it is estimated that Mr. Tang He sent someone to support him. He did not come to Hong Kong Island, otherwise he would have contacted him long ago.

The name of Jiuzhou Group is also listed. Xia Rufei just doesn't know if Li Yifu will come here in person, but according to Xia Rufei's understanding of Li Yifu, he will probably come to support him.

In addition, Xia Rufei also saw a familiar name called the Black Family.

At the last truffle auction, George Black of the Black family was ruined by Xia Rufei. In the end, Old Black came out to put out the fire in person and even deprived George Black of the heir in exchange for cooperation with Xia Rufei.

This time, I probably saw the top truffle on the auction list, so Old Black couldn't sit still and rushed to Hong Kong Island in person.

Xia Rufei saw it from beginning to end, but did not see the name Monica he wanted to see. Even the Grasso family where Monica is located did not appear on the list, which made Xia Rufei feel a little disappointed.

However, he quickly adjusted his emotions, closed the folders, and said with a smile: "Liu Qian has done a good job during this period and has considered all details well. In the next two days, you have to continue your efforts and never lose the chain at critical moments. We are mainly watching the fun. You mainly rely on your attention to the auction, do you understand?"

Xia Rufei’s implication is to let Liu Qian be responsible for the organization and coordination of the entire auction.

After receiving Xia Rufei and her group, Liu Qian felt like she had a backbone. Now, after hearing what Xia Rufei said, she immediately felt a lot of pressure again.

If you do this job well, it will naturally be a great thing, but once there is a mistake in any link, it will be equivalent to losing points in front of four company executives at the same time.

However, Liu Qian quickly stood up and replied: "I understand! Please rest assured Mr. Xia and all the leaders! I will definitely not let you down!"

Xia Rufei pressed his hands and said with a smile: "Sit down and say, sit down and say, but you didn't make you express your determination..."

Liu Qian smiled embarrassedly and sat back on her seat.

Xia Rufei said: "Although that being said, we don't care about it. If there is something that cannot be coordinated or something I don't understand, you can also ask us at any time, we are a team!"

"I understand, thank you Mr. Xia!" Liu Qian said with a sweet smile.

She knew that if she really wanted to ask Xia Rufei or Feng Jing and others for help, the leaders would definitely not sit idly by, but in this way, the KPI of her mission would definitely be reduced. Although there was no clear quantitative index, in the minds of the leaders, they would definitely have a scale.

Liu Qian said: "Mr. Xia, if there is no other instructions, I will go down first! I will go to the venue to take a look. Today is the final debugging."

Xia Rufei smiled and nodded, saying, "You go!"

Then, he looked at Feng Jing and the others again, and smiled and said, "You guys should go back to your room to rest! You can just go out for a walk, but don't waste your evening meal time!"

"Okay! Then we'll go down too!" Feng Jing said with a smile, "Chairman, you have some rest, we'll see you for dinner!"

"See you tonight!" Xia Ruofei stood up and said.

Feng Jing and the others got the room card in advance. Their room was located on the lower floor of the Presidential Suite. Everyone arranged a business suite. In fact, even Liu Qian lived in a luxury queen-bed room. It can be said that the reception specifications of Hengfeng Group are quite high.

After Feng Jing and the other two left, Xia Rufei changed into a comfortable home clothes, poured a glass of red wine and sat in front of the bright floor-to-ceiling window. He looked at the white sails on Victoria Bay in the distance, and said to himself: "Do you want to call her?"

This time when visiting Hong Kong Island, Xia Rufei still had a little expectation in her heart, hoping to meet Monica again.

The two left contact information to each other, but they didn't have much contact with each other, especially in recent months, neither of them has been on the phone.

Xia Rufei didn't know how Monica was doing now.

In fact, in a sense, Xia Rufei's personality is still a bit passive. Monica did not contact him on his own initiative, so he did not contact Monica, and was always worried about whether it would disturb Monica.

Moreover, Xia Rufei couldn't figure it out. Although she had two spring breezes with Monica and was Monica's first man, the thinking concepts of Western women are still different from those of traditional Chinese women. Xia Rufei didn't know what position he was in Monica's mind. Maybe they really just regard him as a man who solves his physiological needs or comforts each other at a specific moment?

As he thought about it, Xia Rufei couldn't help but feel a little irritable. He couldn't help but take out a cigarette, took out one and put it in his mouth. With a tingling sound, he popped up the zippo lighter, and then came over to light the cigarette.

He took a deep breath and then spit it out, as if he wanted to spit out all the turbid air in his heart.

At this moment, Xia Rufei heard a doorbell.

He turned his head and looked at the display screen on the access control subsystem not far away, then walked over and pressed the intercom button, and said, "Please come in!"

A slight sizzling sound was heard, and the door of the presidential suite opened from the outside. A middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie walked in from the outside. This was the exclusive butler for the presidential suite. His English name was Tony. He was actually a Chinese. He was born and raised in Hong Kong Island. Because he was colonized by the UK for many years, they also had the tradition of taking English names, and they mainly called them English names at work.

"Tony, is there anything wrong?" Xia Ruofei asked.

Tony bowed slightly and said, "Mr. Xia, there is a Mr. Jason Black who wants to visit you. He said he is your old friend. Do you want to meet him?"

Xia Rufei raised his eyebrows slightly, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

Jason Black is the patriarch of the Black family. After the last auction, it was the old Black who talked about cooperation with Xia Rufei, and he decided to propose an heir to George Black, who had always been against Xia Rufei.

When Xia Rufei saw the name of the Black family on the auction list, he guessed that Old Black would definitely come to see him, but he didn't expect that the old man could not wait.

Xia Rufei smiled slightly and said, "You can take him to the reception room! I will change my clothes and come over!"

Although I am in the hotel room where I live, I still have to wear formal clothes to meet guests. At least I cannot wear a home clothes to meet people. This is also a basic social etiquette.

"Okay, Mr. Xia!" Tony bowed slightly, then stepped out gently.

Xia Rufei casually snatched the cigarette butts on the ashtray, and then walked towards the oversized master bedroom in the presidential suite.

When Xia Rufei changed into a sophisticated handmade suit and came to the reception room, Old Black was already sitting there waiting.

Old Black, with silver hair, looked energetic. When he saw Xia Rufei coming in, he immediately stood up and took two steps forward, spread his arms, and said with a warm smile on his face: "Dear Xia! We're meeting again!"

Xia Rufei was a little uncomfortable with the etiquette of embracing foreigners at any time, but in the face of such a passionate old Black, he could only endure the psychological discomfort and hug Old Black for a while, and then everyone took a seat.

After Tony brought the tea, he bent down and whispered in Xia Rufei's ear: "Mr. Xia, then I'll go out first. If you have any instructions, please click the bell at any time!"

Xia Rufei nodded slightly, and Tony immediately walked out of the reception room and brought it to the door.

"Mr. Black, thank you for coming to support me again!" Xia Rufei said with a fluent English smile.

"Our Black family is very interested in any high-quality truffle, not to mention that every piece of truffle brought by Mr. Xia is enough to amazed the world. How can we miss such a grand event?" Old Black said with a smile.

"Good award! Good award!" Xia Rufei said lightly, "Then... what's the point of asking me for today?"

Old Black hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Xia, our Black family and your Taoyuan Company have signed a supply and marketing agreement. Why don't you sell the truffle directly to us? Our acquisition price is already on the average price of the last auction. I think the profits will not be less than those used for auctions, and you can also have a lot of trouble. If the auction house share is included, I think selling directly may have a higher profit."

Xia Rufei knew that when Old Black met, he would definitely talk about this. This old foreign devil was quite heartless and wanted to be full of things in one go!

But how could Xia Rufei make Old Black come true? His auction of truffles is not only for money, but also for making Taoyuan Company famous overseas.

Although there are many products auctioned this time, truffles and top-quality abalone are still the most important items in this batch of goods. If anything is missing, this comprehensive "product display" will also lose a lot of points.

So, Xia Rufei smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Black, I will naturally not forget the agreement we signed. But if I remember correctly, the agreement should be implemented from next year. My batch of truffles are not within the scope of the agreement, right?"
