Chapter 235: You can’t do this
As we all know.
The price of an item does not actually depend on its value.
A very simple analogy, if the mineral water in an ordinary convenience store is sold in a top luxury hotel like Bulgari, the price will be very different.
The same goes for this sapphire necklace.
Pei Yunxi has worn it, which is equivalent to putting the most eye-catching label on this piece of jewelry.
“Eight and a half million.”
“VIP No. 233 bids eight and a half million!”
“Nine million.”
"Nine and a half million."
"Ten million."
The auctioneer was overwhelmed by the endless bids, and the amount soared rapidly, easily breaking through the 10 million mark at a rocket-like speed, without any stopping momentum.
“Eleven million.”
“Thirteen million.”
“Fifteen million! The VIP at table 36 bids fifteen hundred Ten thousand!”
Finally, I feel like spending money like water.
"Oh, what's so rare about a broken necklace."
Miss Shi scoffed, probably referring to Sang and Huai.
Looking at the fiery atmosphere, Jiang Chen's eyes flickered as he sat in the darkness, ready to make a move.
Although it is very difficult to conquer Pei Yunxi, in fact, this problem can be put aside for the time being.
It's just like buying a lottery ticket. If you know that you have a string of numbers, you will definitely win, but you don't know when it will be drawn.
So before that, you must make a bet and invest first!
Otherwise, even if the lottery is drawn in the end and you don’t place a bet, it will be like fetching water from a bamboo basket. If the prize is drawn, you will not get even half a cent of the profit.
The Licking Gold can only be used on the target. This piece of jewelry is Pei Yunxi’s personal belongings, and the money from the auction will be donated in Pei Yunxi’s name. It is completely in line with the requirements of Ligging Gold. Apply the rules.
No exaggeration.
If it really compares to "financial resources", Jiang Chen, who has more than 9999 billion in his account, can confidently say that everyone here is rubbish.
Even if the hundreds of people at the scene were bundled together, I'm afraid they wouldn't be as rich as him alone.
But this auction is not actually about money.
At least for him, it was definitely not as simple as shouting a sky-high price to get the necklace off that no one dared to match.
This is not an anonymous auction.
Although at this time, in order to cooperate with the auction and enhance the atmosphere, except for the auction stage, the rest of the banquet hall was very dark. From a distance, it was impossible to see who was who. However, it was not clear at the moment, but it did not mean that they could not be found out later.
A little-known college student suddenly comes up with a huge amount of wealth. Doesn’t this arouse suspicion?
The people sitting at the scene were all elites from all walks of life, and even official bosses.
But such a good investment opportunity, should we just miss it?
Jiang Chen is in a dilemma.
"Thirty million! The VIP at table 8 bids 30 million!"
You can faintly see a person sitting in the first row holding up a sign.
It raised 10 million in one breath, as if it was inevitable to win.
So far, even if the hammer has not yet fallen, the bidding for this sapphire necklace has set a new auction record for tonight's charity dinner.
After the person at table No. 8 raised his sign, the fiery atmosphere calmed down a little. Although there was the blessing of a stunning beauty, 30 million was already approaching the upper limit.
and.
Table No. 8’s bid is clearly showing an attitude, and it is easy to offend people if they continue to compete.
“Thirty-five million.”
“Thirty-eight million.”
“Forty million.”
Of course.
Although the number of people participating in the auction dropped sharply, some people still did not give up.
“Fifty million! Table No. 8 bids fifty million!”
The No. 8 number plate was raised again.
There were slight whispers from the audience.
Somewhere in the banquet hall.
Seeing that his donated necklace was sold for 50 million, Pei Yunxi not only did not show pleasure and pride, but instead frowned.
“Fifty million, is there anyone with a higher bid?”
The auctioneer looked around the audience dutifully.
Perhaps 50 million has reached the limit, or perhaps it was intimidated by the arrogance of the guests at table 8. The place was like a pool of stagnant water.
“Fifty million for the first time!”
“Fifty million for the second time!”
Listening to the auctioneer starting to count down, Jiang Chen’s eyes showed a struggle.
On the bidding stage, the auctioneer's wooden hammer has been slowly raised.
"Fifty million third..."
"Fifty-five million!"
Thunder in a silent place!
Just when the hammer was about to fall, the sharp-eyed auctioneer noticed another number plate being raised under the stage.
Like a stone hitting the water.
The settled situation creates new waves!
“The VIP at table 250 bid 55 million!”
The auctioneer shouted excitedly, and at the same time, he put down the wooden hammer in his hand.
The guests who had planned to applaud were surprised, and then subconsciously turned their heads.
But the light was too dim and it was impossible to see where table 250 was sitting.
Pei Yunxi was no exception. After a brief absence, she grabbed the armrest of the chair and followed the auctioneer's gaze, but due to her limited field of vision, she could not see anything.
In the sudden silence of the scene, Jiang Chen slowly turned his head and saw the woman next to him putting down the number plate in her hand, her pretty face cold.
"...What are you doing?"
"I won't let him get his wish!"
That's right.
250 is exactly the number of their table, and the person holding the sign just now was the aunt Shi Xixi.
“Who are you not going to let your wish come true?”
“My dad!”
Jiang Chen seemed to have woken up, “You mean... that No. 8, is Your dad?"
"Who else?"
Shi Xixi said in a mean tone: "Huh, you want to please that vixen?"
The corners of Jiang Chen's eyes twitched unconsciously.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems that this is indeed the case.
That No. 8 is most likely Shi Zhenhua.
It is completely understandable that this aunt wants to sabotage her father's spending a lot of money to make the beauty smile.
But there is a problem, which seems to be serious. "Shi Qianqian, do you have money?"
Jiang Chen asked in a friendly manner, or to be precise, it was a reminder.
If I remember correctly, this girl seemed to have said just now that she is very poor now.
“I didn’t.”
As expected.
Miss Shi's answer was as straightforward and decisive as ever.
"How dare you bid if you have no money? How do you plan to end up paying later?
Yes.
You can raise the sign at will, no one can stop you.
But don’t forget, you have to foot the bill in the end!
What kind of occasion is this?
There are big figures from all walks of life, and even high-ranking politicians, here to cause trouble. Even if you are the daughter of the Shi family, you will probably be in a lot of trouble
“I don’t have money, but don’t you? ”
Shi Qianqian is indeed not stupid.
From the fact that she just knew that she was having fun with that Uncle Zhuang, it can be seen that it is not that she cannot distinguish priorities, nor does she not understand the world.
She turned her head and stared at Jiang Chen as expected. It was obvious that she had already thought of an escape route.
“You lend it to me first, and I will return it to you later.”
Jiang Chen was speechless for a moment.
Borrow money?
Is there anyone who borrows money like this?
I just held up the sign without consulting him in advance.
Isn’t this coercion, killing first and then showing off?
“Why should I lend it to you?”
Jiang Chen couldn’t help but ask.
“Aren’t we friends? You won’t help me with this little favor, right?”
"When did I say that I was friends with you?"
"Just now! Just when I met that vixen. You said that if I don't apologize to her, I won't be friends in the future. You're not admitting that we are friends in disguise. Friends? "
Miss Shi is indeed smart and sharp-tongued, and she can render Jiang Chen speechless with just a few words.
"Don't worry, I can still afford the money. Don't forget, I am now the second largest shareholder of Jinhai Industrial!"
"..."
Jiang Chen remained silent.
This time.
Table No. 8 raised their cards again.
"Sixty million! The VIP at table 8 bids 60 million!"
"This is your own business. I'm just lending you money. Other things have nothing to do with me."
Jiang Chen said in a deep voice.
“Don’t worry!”
Miss Shi held up the unique number plate again without thinking.
"Seventy-five million! VIP No. 250 bids seventy-five million!"
Jiang Chen exhaled softly, seemingly helpless, but when he actually looked at the bidding table, his eyes But there was a hint of strange color.
The huge charity dinner turned out to be a battle of wits between a father and his daughter.
“Eighty million!”
“Ninety million!”
“One hundred million! Table No. 8 bids one hundred million!!!”
The auctioneer's voice began to tremble.
The place became agitated.
The jewelry with a starting price of 8 million actually exceeded 100 million, which was unexpected by everyone.
The suppressed discussion became louder.
Even the big guys sitting in the front row started whispering to each other.
“One hundred and ten million!”
Miss Shi’s face was cold, as if it was not her own money.
Table No. 8.
Shi Zhenhua finally frowned slightly, resisted the urge to look back, and raised the sign again.
"One hundred and fifty million! Table No. 8 bids one hundred and fifty million!"
Shi Qianqian did not hesitate and wanted to follow, but Jiang Chen stopped her.
"You can't do this."
"What do you mean?"
"Auctions also have skills. If you increase the price little by little, your opponent will not give up. If you really don't want to give up, If your dad gets that piece of jewelry, you have to let him see your determination."
Jiang Chen said: "Give me the sign."
Shi Qianqian hesitated, but still gave it. The number plate was handed over.
Jiang Chen raised the number plate and made a gesture at the same time.
The condescending auctioneer's eyes widened. After confirming again and again, he said in a trembling voice: "VIP No. 250 bid...three hundred million!!!"
Boom!
The whole place was in an uproar instantly!
Even the celebrities present here were unable to maintain their posture, their backs straightened unconsciously, and their faces looked astonished.
Three hundred million.
Even though all the people attending the meeting were from the upper class, there were really not many who could spend so much money in one go.
Not to mention doing charity!
This piece of jewelry is indeed good, but it is not a rare treasure after all. Even if Pei Yunxi has worn it and added a lot of beauty to it, it is not worth such an outrageous price!
The buzzing banquet hall.
Table No. 8.
Shi Zhenhua’s face suddenly darkened.
The auctioneer subconsciously looked in this direction, but there was no movement.
Jiang Chen slowly placed the number plate on the table.
Shi Qianqian looked at him blankly, and couldn't help but think of the previous scene in Chuanliu, where the other party Feng Qingyundan paid compensation.
"Three hundred million once!"
"Three hundred million twice!"
"Three hundred million a third time!"
"Bang! Deal!"< br>
