We're building a super chaebol in Hong Kong
#909 - Unexpected discovery
Su Cheng nodded, took the invitation, and opened it on the spot.
Inside was a card and a folded A4 sheet of paper.
The card was essentially the content of the invitation.
The content of the invitation was also very simple, roughly inviting Su Cheng to participate in this "Macau Charity Night" auction, hoping that Su Cheng could personally attend and contribute to charity. The address was on the 12th floor of the Lisboa Hotel, and finally, there were stamps from the Governor's Office, the Lisboa Hotel, and the Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society.
After reading it, Su Cheng put the invitation on the table to the side and opened the folded A4 paper.
This A4 paper contained the auction items for tonight's "Macau Charity Night" auction.
The entire auction had a total of 28 items, mainly artistic ceramics, ancient calligraphy and paintings, contemporary oil paintings, classic cars, etc. These were all gathered at the auction through Mr. He's connections around the world. The owners of the items were mainly sellers from Macau, Hong Kong, and Europe and the United States.
Su Cheng had no interest in ceramics, calligraphy, and paintings, as he didn't have that artistic talent.
However, there was one item on the list that Su Cheng was quite interested in.
In addition to the item description, the A4 paper also had a reduced-size photo of the item on the right.
At this time, the 18th item was a snake head from the twelve zodiac animal heads.
A long time ago, Su Cheng had the idea of collecting the twelve zodiac animal heads, and he began to put it into action after he became wealthy.
Over the past year or so, Brother Wu had successively found eight of the twelve zodiac heads for him, namely the Ox, Tiger, Monkey, Pig, Horse, Sheep, Rat, and Rabbit.
In the early stages, Brother Wu found the twelve zodiac animal heads very quickly through intelligence information from all over the world, almost one piece a month, and he could get them for very little money.
However, as the number of twelve zodiac animal heads found increased, the speed of finding them became slower and slower.
The last time, Brother Wu obtained a rabbit head at an auction in Singapore, Nanyang, through intelligence, but that was three months ago.
Unexpectedly, he could encounter an animal head at this small auction, which was an unexpected discovery. If he hadn't attended this charity event, he would have missed this bronze statue.
Perhaps this charity event was too small, so small that even Brother Wu hadn't paid attention to it.
As far as he knew, even in the 21st century, the snake head was still missing.
Unexpectedly, in Macau in the late 1970s, he would encounter an animal head.
The information introduced that the owner of the snake head was a seller from the Netherlands. This Dutch seller had not only lost money at the Lisboa Hotel but also borrowed a loan. It just so happened that the Lisboa Hotel was going to hold a charity auction, and the Dutch seller had no choice but to take out the snake head bronze statue he had collected to sell.
In this era, the popularity of the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues was not high. At most, it was just an antique with a history of more than two hundred years.
Therefore, even this Dutch seller didn't have much expectation for how much the snake head bronze statue could sell for.
After reading the information, Su Cheng decided to get this snake head bronze statue tonight.
As long as he got the snake head bronze statue, it would be equivalent to gathering nine of the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues, and he was getting closer and closer to collecting all twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues.
While the twelve zodiac animal head bronze statues have not been hyped up and their value is still low, he should collect as many as he can.
After all, the Su family's villa only faces the narrow Victoria Harbour, and there are many high mountains to the north that block the wind blowing from the north.
The Songshan Villa, however, faces the vast South China Sea.
Looking at the time, it was only a little after four in the afternoon, and there was still a long time before eight o'clock in the evening.
"Amei, tell the kitchen to prepare dinner earlier. Let's have dinner at six o'clock in the evening. I'm going to attend a charity auction later," Su Cheng thought for a while and turned to Amei, who was beside him.
"Okay, young master, I'll go down and tell the kitchen to prepare now," Amei nodded and said.
Ajiao was on the side, carefully folding the invitation card and the A4 paper for Su Cheng and putting them back in the invitation envelope.
Nearby, a music player was playing soft songs.
Perhaps the sea breeze was too comfortable and the songs were too beautiful, Su Cheng fell asleep while lying down.
When Amei woke him up, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"Young master, wake up, the kitchen has prepared the meal," Amei nudged Su Cheng's arm and said.
Su Cheng woke up from his deep sleep, looked at the watch on his wrist, and sure enough, it was already six o'clock in the evening.
"Where's Ajiao?" Su Cheng yawned and stood up from the lounge chair, asking.
He remembered that Ajiao was massaging him next to him before he fell asleep.
"Young master, Ajiao just went downstairs. Sister Chu Hong asked her to go down and do something," Amei replied.
Su Cheng nodded, went to the bathroom on the third floor to wash his face, and then went down to the dining room on the first floor with Amei.
In the dining room, there was a dining table large enough to seat fourteen or fifteen people. At this time, the dining table was already filled with hot dishes.
"Let's all eat together," Su Cheng invited Zhong Chuhong, Ajiao, Amei, and the bodyguards to eat.
As for the servants, they would eat later after Su Cheng and the others had finished.
"Chu Hong, I'm going out later. You should rest well at home tonight and go to bed early," Su Cheng specially told Zhong Chuhong while eating.
"Okay."
After dinner, Su Cheng rested at home for a while, and it was not until 7:40 in the evening that he took Ajiao out together and went to the Lisboa Hotel.
Amei learned that Ajiao was also going and wanted to go with her.
However, Su Cheng considered that it would be a bit inappropriate to bring two beauties to a charity auction, so he rejected her request and asked her to stay at home and he would give her priority to go to some other activities next time.
For activities like charity auctions, the organizers will definitely have many media organizations present in order to expand their influence.
What kind of image would it be to bring two stunning beauties to an auction!
Macau itself is not large, and it is only a little more than two kilometers from Songshan Villa to the Lisboa Hotel. There are not too many cars in Macau in this era, and there are rarely major traffic jams.
In just five minutes, Su Cheng's car arrived at the underground parking lot of the Lisboa Hotel.
The underground parking lot of the Lisboa Hotel was almost full of cars, as if all the cars in Macau were concentrated here.
From this scene, one can see how much money the Lisboa Hotel makes.
When Su Cheng arrived at the parking lot, Mr. He had already known about it and quickly sent someone down to greet Su Cheng.
