Chapter 471: Auction Invitation

It is not a very troublesome thing to accompany Ye Ling to go shopping, but Ye Ling’s hobbies are unique. It is well known that she likes to collect all kinds of puppets, so this time when she went shopping, Liu Jinpeng accompanied her to a special puppet street. The so-called puppet street is actually just an auxiliary street in the Jiangdong small commodity market. This place was originally a selling children’s toys, but for some reason it gradually became a cross street that sells puppets.

While Ye Ling was busy picking and choosing, Liu Jinpeng did not forget to buy something for the two little girls at home. Recently, the popular ones are still flying fairies. Liu Jinpeng really has no research on this, so he could only choose two that seemed more pleasing to Lin Lin to take. After Ye Ling finished picking, Liu Jinpeng paid together, and the second half of the space of Black Star was filled.

Ye Ling was just too idle. While Liu Jinpeng answered the phone, he went to buy food next to him. Eva went with her to Yice. The caller was Wan Yichen. This guy hasn't been to Los Angeles recently, and he felt very frustrated. He heard from Zhu Lin that Liu Jinpeng was going to Los Angeles soon, so he hurriedly came to ask about the situation.

"Brother Liu, I'm Xiao Wan." Wan Yichen is completely obedient now, claiming that he is much more low-key. "I heard from Brother Zhu that you are going to Los Angeles in the near future. I don't know when you will leave. Can you take me with you?"

"Yes, I do want to go to Los Angeles once, but I didn't see Zhu Lin going." Liu Jinpeng didn't want to bring this light bulb very much, but he didn't refuse. "Who will stop you if you want to go? Isn't the uncle letting you out yet? Let me agree first, I can't take you away even if I don't agree."

"My dad is so rigid. It's obvious that it's okay for so long, but he just refuses to let me out." Wan Yichen sighed. He was too tightly controlled. It's hard to find excuses. "By the way, I have something to tell you. There was a charity auction recently, and my dad said he wanted me to contact you. If you want to go, I'll send you an invitation letter. There are not many people attending the meeting, but they are all insiders, so it's good if you know each other."

Liu Jinpeng didn't know what he meant by the insider, so of course he had to ask clearly: "Uncle Guo didn't let you come out for your own good. What kind of circle is the insider you mentioned? If it was the aristocratic circle, then forget it. I don't have any common language with them."

Wan Yichen said: "Of course not. This time it's from the film and television industry. Zhu Lin said that he would entrust you to invite several actors for him. It happened to be attended at this auction, which would save you from worrying about it."

Liu Jinpeng still found it strange. Zhu Lin didn't talk about this recently. But he was waiting for the call prompt soon, and it was Zhu Lin's number. Liu Jinpeng asked Wan Yichen to send the invitation letter first. If he went there, he probably said that Zhu Lin's phone call was about this.

"Pengzi, Brother Peng, I'm Xiaowu." Zhu Lin was very excited when he answered the phone. It was early in the morning when he saw the time. I wonder why he was still excited. "Student Xiaowan has found you, you must help me. When I came over, I found that the supporting actors here are very expensive and the labor costs are too high. It's better to hire someone from China. If you don't help me, I will go bankrupt."

Hollywood's film and television industry has become an industrial chain, from production to sales, from actors to unions, all of them are rules. Moreover, due to the extremely high consumption level in Los Angeles, Zhu Lin found that the labor costs here are two to five times more than in China and it will be a turn. Taking hiring an ordinary supporting role with less than ten lines as an example, the union introduces tens of thousands of dollars, and private signing is illegal. Once discovered, it is very likely that you will not get a playback license. If it really doesn't work, you can only find someone from China.

Lydia's script has been found. It is a science fiction movie. She plays an escaped alien princess in the play. As soon as Zhu Lin said a few words, Liu Jinpeng interrupted and said, "Star Wars? Why do I feel a sense of déjà? Don't tell me that this script was given to her by Lucas."

"I said that at that time. Lida almost turned against me. Don't make her bad luck when you come." Zhu Lin also smiled bitterly. Lydia was very arbitrary in this matter, and he didn't have much say. "The most important thing is that Lida attaches great importance to this filming. She now plans to start filming two movies at the same time, one of my brother and Wan, and the other of her own. She also invited many friends to make guest appearances, saying that this would save money."

Liu Jinpeng knew that Lydia must have many friends in the film and television industry, and it would be no problem to ask these friends to make a guest appearance for free, so this film cannot be made into a bad movie, otherwise how can it be worthy of those friends? Even if Zhu Lin advised him not to talk nonsense, Liu Jinpeng decided to go to Los Angeles to read the script before talking. If it is so bad, he has to mention it no matter what.

Zhu Lin himself was most concerned about hiring people from China. He explained several names and stated: "If they refuse to come, just tell me the meaning of this film. I know you will definitely be able to do it. But it really doesn't work. In addition, you can find someone. Anyway, there are many people in China, and this film will be released globally, so you don't have to worry that no one will take the bait."

Liu Jinpeng was a little disgusted with this kind of thing, but Zhu Lin rarely begs him. It is not good to not help him once, so he reluctantly agreed. The charity auction is to take out some memorable things for auction, and most of them will be auctioned back by themselves. However, most of these auctions are attended by celebrities, and they are not something used by celebrities. They can’t bid for auction even if they want to.

After eating all the things Ye Ling bought, Liu Jinpeng had just finished the phone call. She pouted and said, "Little Fifth Brother is really annoying. He instructed you to do this and that again. Humph, I must bully him with my sisters next time I meet." Zhu Lin sneezed a few more times in Los Angeles, muttering to himself: It's so strange, Jiang Cheng is hot, it's cool here, why are you sneezing?

Liu Jinpeng smiled and pulled Ye Ling into the car to go home. The back half of Black Star was filled with dolls, and Lin Lin was holding two flying fairies. This was for Meiling and Meihua, so we couldn't mess it up. Eva got into the driver's seat and drove. On the way, she received a call from home urging them to go home. It was already 5:43, no wonder the family was waiting in a hurry.

When she got home, she washed her hands and went to the dining table. Li Xiwen was impatient and looked at the dish with a slut. While eating, everyone was chatting and gradually talking about Liu Jinpeng's trip to Los Angeles. Li Xizhe was a little worried about the assassination incident again. Liu Mei was not worried about this kind of thing, because everyone knew the strength of Lin Lin and others, and there was no such person as Martin to come out to die.

"By the way, Wan Yichen sent me an invitation letter and asked me to attend the charity auction. I have nothing to auction." Liu Jinpeng also took the opportunity to talk about the charity auction, "What do you think I will do? Do you have to use the signature pen I used to auction?"

Who wants your signature pen? Li Xiwen took the initiative to take on this job and asked: "I have a jade jewelry, a dragonfly carved from the whole green jade. You can take it to auction it, and it's okay to sell it for 500,000 yuan." Generally speaking, this kind of auction is self-purchased, but there are also people who take the opportunity to sell things, and there are not many.

"What a pity to sell such a valuable thing." Before Liu Jinpeng could speak, Ye Ling inserted it in. "If Brother Yixiu can't take it back and buy it for someone else, it would be very unprofitable."

Li Xiwen doesn't care much about this. That piece of jade is just ordinary. It's not a superb quality or Cuixin. She will sell it after selling it. She said: "It's nothing. I still have a lot of that. Xiaopeng wants to offer 300,000 yuan. If someone is higher than you, he will go. If it's really an old pit-type ice-bottomed jade product, it will cost at least several million yuan. If it's a 500,000 yuan, you can only buy a wing tip."

At present, the most jadeite produced in neighboring countries is Myanmar. There are still many people in the empire who specialize in grouping to Myanmar to bet on stones every year. The transaction volume at each stone gambling conference will exceed tens of millions of yuan or even over 100 million yuan. The maximum transaction volume will exceed 1 billion yuan at the maximum. Liu Jinpeng knew that there were also gambling stones in Jiangcheng, but there were too few wool stones transported to the inland.

Li Xiwen couldn't refuse her intentions. Of course, Liu Jinpeng had to take over, but he couldn't just forget it. So he decided to go to Jiangcheng gambling stone market the next day to pick a piece of better jade and ask a professional master to process it. Maybe he could choose a bigger one, and all the accessories of four or five girls were all settled. As for how to pick a good-water jade, it's more than enough. Of course, Lin Lin was doing it.

After dinner, Liu Jinpeng gave the two puppets purchased in the afternoon to Meiling and Meihua. The two girls expressed their gratitude happily. Meihua ran over to kiss her face without rashly this time. She smiled and avoided Zhang Yu's gaze, and pouted at Liu Jinpeng and was about to kiss her.

I continued to play in the water at night. There were still cold drinks on the table next to the swimming pool. When I was tired of swimming, I could lean on the lounge chair for a while and chatted. Li Xiwen didn’t play in the water today. She talked to Liu Jinpeng about the floating island on the sea. After the acquisition failed, both agencies went back to report. No. 1 had already arrived at the island warehouse and was supervising the construction of the floating island.

The foam plastic is really fast to build. Qingjiang Shipyard has built a skeleton and is currently laying foam linings. The island warehouse has stocked up some materials. In the past few days, it will be pulled out the skeleton from the shipyard to the sea area on the island to start formal construction. Originally, it was said that a circle of waveproof walls were built around the construction area. Later, Yiti provided a new waveproof material, which is very similar to foam.

This material can be installed in a barrel and then sprayed directly like a sprayer. After contacting the sea water, it will automatically condense and become a solid material. If it continues to spray, it will gradually increase. An originally planned floating platform is installed every ten meters as a support point. Such a low wall of about two feet can prevent ordinary waves. If you are afraid of large waves, you can continue to increase the wall, which will support a height of up to 1.8 meters.

After the skeleton is in place, construction will be started. The laying of foam and engineering plastics will be very fast, so the engineers expect it to be completed in more than 50 days. According to the original plan, this floating island on the sea will cover an area of ​​5 square kilometers. If necessary in the future, it can continue to expand. But Liu Jinpeng feels that instead of expanding the scope, it is better to build a few more floating islands. Of course, if the plan goes well, it is enough to have such a floating island.
