When Yu Nian arrived outside the auction venue, Yu Qing called again.
"Where is my handsome brother?"
Yu Nian replied with a smile, "On the way to spend money."
Yu Qing laughed loudly, "Where are you spending money, it's obviously throwing money, the way the goddess spreads flowers!" She stopped laughing, "Seriously, how is your money raised every year? I I went to ask a knowledgeable uncle, and said that the price of "Insomnia Post" this time will definitely not be low, he thought it over and over again, but he didn't dare to make it."
Yu Nian found a secluded corner, put his hands in his pockets, and replied, "Probably enough."
"So it's a little overhang?" Yu Qing worried, and counted, "You should make a lot of money from "Qi Li", right? The income from selling songs, endorsement fees, variety show appearance fees, copyright fees, and other messy scattered income Add it up, there should be... about nine figures?"
"Well, it's about that number."
Yu Qing sighed, "Niannian, your ability to make money is better than your sister and me!" She returned to the topic, "But you can't buy "Insomnia Post", right?"
Yu Nian smiled and said, "Sister, you forgot a sum of money."
"what money?"
"All the equity, bonds, and real estate held by grandma were left to me. I have not moved the real estate, but when the time comes, the equity and bonds will make a profit, including the dividends from your sister's family."
Yu Qing said "ah", "Don't tell me, I really forgot! Grandpa mentioned that my aunt was the youngest daughter of the Sheng family. At that time, my aunt married your grandfather, and my great-grandfather married many things. My aunt is also very good at business. Wrist! Well, just counting the Sheng family's family dividends, according to the convention, it is settled every two years, so the money should arrive after the Chinese New Year?"
"Well, yes, the amount is not small, sister, you should have received it too, right?"
Yu Qing has a carefree temper, "The money in my account came and went, it seems that a large sum of money came out suddenly, I have a little impression." Her tone became lighter, "In this way, I can feel relieved! But in the auction house, no one can say for sure, if you are short of money, remember to look for me, I specially drew a sum of money and put it away for you."
Yu Nian felt warm in his heart, "Okay, thank you sister."
Entering the venue, Yu Nian found a place to sit down. A lot of people have already come to the scene, and there are people who speak various languages. Soon, the seats are gradually full. Yu Nian didn't look around, took out his mobile phone and came out to chat with Xie You, but he was calm and not very nervous.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the well-dressed auctioneer came to the stage, and after a brief speech, the first lot came up.
The first few lots were pre-heated, and Yu Nian had no interest. He looked down at the catalog in his hand and compared it while looking at it. In the library at home, this time they are all on the auction.
The first five or six lots were lukewarm. When it came to "Xue Ji Tie", the price was 51 million in one go, and Yu Nian only looked up. Afterwards, "Chongluan Quest for the Way" went up to 60 million, and "The Collection of Spring and Autumn Classics" went up to 93 million, but it never broke through 100 million.
At this point, the morning auction came to an end. Everyone left their seats and went to the banquet hall next to them for a buffet lunch. Yu Nian had no appetite, so he picked a freshly made sandwich to fill his empty stomach.
In the afternoon, after a short break, the atmosphere in the venue became much quieter. Different from the morning, the first lot in the afternoon was the 8.12-meter-long "Overview of the River Tower". The ones that were put up for auction after that were all precious treasures, and several of them had been talked about by my grandfather for more than a year.
While looking at the detailed picture of the lot on the big screen, the phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. Yu Nian lowered his head and found that it was Meng Yuan's call. He pressed the hang up button and switched to typing on WeChat, "Brother Meng, what's the matter? It's not convenient for me to answer the phone right now."
Meng Yuan replied very quickly, "Tell me the truth, have you ever taken drugs?"
Yu Nian's heart skipped a beat, he frowned and quickly replied, "No. What's going on?"
Meng Yuan directly sent a picture, followed by a website link, followed by several screenshots.
In the picture, Yu Nian looks sluggish, with heavy blue shadows under his eye sockets, his whole body is tired, much thinner than now, and his skin is a few degrees darker.
Yu Nian replied first, "I can recognize it. The first photo was when I was in my junior year. I went to the Guyang River with my teacher to excavate the ruins of the ancient city. I spent two or three months in the Gobi. After I came back, I immediately stayed up all night. I only slept for about 20 hours in five days to catch up with the papers for the academic report meeting, so I didn’t take drugs.”
Meng Yuan replied with a few letters, WCTM! Then he replied, "Click on the link to have a look, and be mentally prepared first!"
Yu Nian roughly guessed what was going on, and directly clicked on the website link.
"Another big poisonous melon! Yu Nian's brother from the same school broke the news. During Yu Nian's university, he took huge copyright fees, but was so poor that he couldn't afford to order takeout. It was because of poison! The person who broke the news was close to Yu Nian, I also provided a photo, and I can see clearly in the photo that Yu Nian is indeed out of shape because of taking drugs. The dark circles under his eyes are extremely scary, and his face is sluggish. No wonder no matter how much money he earns, it is not enough to spend. I don’t know if he is still smoking... "
"—What's going on in the entertainment industry this year, everyone is exposed to drug abuse! The songwriter before, and now Yu Nian has also been exposed, and he is still an old drug dealer. The entertainment industry is really a big drug den. Once it is revealed, it is all big news !"
"—I was puzzled before, why the university sells songs to get copyright fees, and can't afford to eat. It's either poisoned or gambling! Sure enough, let me be right! @余年要不学学你Senior, what is the reason for taking drugs to find inspiration for writing songs?"
"—Can you spread rumors without evidence? What can a photo prove? When I memorized the key points in the final exam and was bald, it was no different from this photo! Why don't you say that I also took drugs? Say drugs, ok, show the evidence! "
"—@余年Get out of the entertainment circle! These so-called celebrities earn money that I dare not even dream of in my life, but put all the money into the pockets of big drug lords, are they worthy of those anti-drug police officers who sacrificed?! Get out! !"
After reading all the content sent by Meng Yuan, Yu Nian replied, "I've read it."
Meng Yuan crackled and sent a series of messages, "This is planned! On time at 3:30, nearly ten marketing accounts and five well-known forums linked up, and two minutes before and after, the news about your drug use broke out one after another. And Each one has conclusive evidence. Every comment and reply left by the navy is to prove that you have taken drugs, so that people who see these comments and replies will gradually deepen the impression of "Yu Nian took drugs". And search The entry already uses 'drug abuse' as an associated entry for 'Yu Nian'."
There was a round of fierce price bidding on the stage, Yu Nian pondered, "And it's very clever, it means that I have taken drugs, not that I am taking drugs now, right?"
Meng Yuan: "Yes, if you say you are taking drugs now, you can prove your innocence by taking a urine test. But it is different if you say you used drugs in college. It has already passed, and even if you want to prove your innocence, there is no evidence! It is completely The fish on the chopping board is open to slander! The person who did it is trying to ruin your reputation and drive you to death!"
Meng Yuan: "Tang Xiaoke doesn't have such a brain, he should be responsible for throwing money away, and the one who came up with the idea, 99% is your senior brother!"
Yu Nian hadn't replied yet, but Meng Yuan sent another one.
"I'm already in emergency public relations to control the direction of public opinion. The most powerful is Mr. Xie, who quickly removed your hot search the moment it was bought. After that, you removed it twice. Now it's a topic of drug abuse. It was directly blocked, and it didn’t make it to the hot search list at all. The fan circle exploded, but at least it didn’t expand the discussion, and gave us time to react.”
At this time, exclamations came from the venue. Yu Nian looked up and found that it was a Ru kiln sky blue glaze brush washer. After 30 long bids, it was sold for 183 million yuan.
Lowering his head, Yu Nian speeded up his typing, "It seems that there is a turning point. Let me first think about the specific situation when I took this photo."
At this time, a message from Meng Yuan popped up on the chat interface, "Your teacher sent a small paper!!!"
Yu Nian was taken aback, and logged into Weibo. Because of too many comments and @, the software was stuck for several seconds. After recovering, Yu Nian directly clicked on Zeng Hongying's personal homepage, and found that the teacher had just updated a Weibo.
"Dig the sand and dig the ground Zeng Hongying: It's nonsense! Absurd! Full of mistakes and omissions! The logical chain is extremely loose! First, this photo was taken in September of Yu Nian's junior year. With the team, I used a small shovel to dig sand at the ruins of the ancient Yanghe ancient city during the day, and compiled data with the experts and scholars in the team to make records at night. You can go to the ancient Yanghe to dry for three months? If it is not dark and thin, I will follow Your last name! In addition, there are detailed pictures and information, and you can see how Yu Nian became tanned and thinner day by day!
Second, the surrounding area of Guyang River is deserted. For three months, Yu Nian ate and lived with the team, slept in Datong bunk, and never left the excavation site. If you really do take drugs, why don't you give it a try for three months? If everyone in the team is smoking, then all of us will be arrested! is it possible
Third, the malicious person behind the scenes may not have seen it clearly. After returning from Guyanghe, Yu Nian followed me to Hecheng to attend the academic report meeting. At that time, when Professor Canning gave a report, there was a nasty incident of drug addiction on the spot, so when attending the meeting, all staff had a urine test, haha, you don’t know? How bad and stupid! "
Seeing the last sentence, Yu Nian raised the corners of his mouth, and could almost imagine the teacher's elated expression when he was proud.
The comments below also rose a lot in a second.
"—Call Teacher Zeng! The big boss in the history world, the overlord of the cub protection world! Ahh, just like what Teacher Zeng said, the people who slander you behind the scenes are really bad and stupid!"
"There's no evidence to prove it! You said that if there is a urine test, there will be a urine test? Do you really think we are fools? How much money Yu Nian gave you, the professor's waist is broken!"
"—Niannian is really amazing! You really are a master of learning! The third year went to Feihe City to participate in a world-class academic report meeting! It said that Professor Zeng lied, is he really stupid? Professor Canning took drugs. , There was a big commotion at the time, even the university where Professor Canning worked came out to apologize, and organized all the faculty members to conduct an inspection, move your little finger to search, can you exhaust yourself?"
"—I believe that Yu Nian didn't take drugs, but I also have doubts. Yu Nian is writing songs for Yu Qing as Si Ning, and the copyright fee is so high. How much money is spent, so that he can't afford to eat? Flies don't sting. The egg that was sewn must be suspected because of Yu Nian's own problems!"
While Yu Nian was browsing the news, the auction stage had slowly entered the final stage. Yu Nian chatted with Meng Yuan for a few more words, then temporarily put away the phone.
The last three auction items are the finale of this auction. The penultimate piece, the icing on the cake, the Wanshou Lianyan picture gourd vase, was finally auctioned by a wealthy Chinese businessman for 140 million after 36 fierce bids.
After the end of this round, the atmosphere in the venue became even more solemn. You could see someone frowning and discussing at the phone entrustment table next to them.
Soon, the penultimate item in the auction, "Picture of Walking Songs" was put up for auction. Yu Nian saw that Rong Yue's agent gave up after bidding seven rounds. In the end, the transaction price was 110 million.
Yu Nian estimated that many people were staring at the last one, so the price of "Walking Songs" was lower than he estimated.
Two consecutive high prices came down, but did not cause any disturbance in the atmosphere of the venue. Because everyone knows that the most important event is at the end.
Yu Nian sat up straight.
When the image of "Insomnia Post" appeared on the screen, almost everyone on the scene looked at it with bated breath, not wanting to miss it.
Two minutes later, after the details were displayed, the auctioneer said, "I don't need to say more about the value of "Insomnia Post". The starting price is 80 million, please bid!"
The bidding price began to rise in units of one million. Yu Nian's eyes were calm, and he was not in a hurry to join the bidding. It wasn't until the price broke through 100 million, and the bidding price began to rise by 3 million to 5 million, that Yu Nian raised his placard for the first time and joined the bidding.
"One hundred and twelve million!"
"One hundred and seventeen million!"
…
"One hundred and sixty million!"
"165 million!"
"One hundred and seventy million!"
After breaking through 170 million, only Yu Nian, one of the left phone commission seats, a brown-haired and blue-eyed European wealthy businessman, and a red-haired and blue-eyed Canadian agent remained.
Yu Nian raised his placard again.
"173 million!"
After the suffocating silence, the people at the telephone commissioning table withdrew from the bidding first.
Yu Nian's palms were wet with sweat, and he stared at the full picture of "Insomnia Post" on the screen, waiting for another bid from his opponent.
"176 million!"
The other party only added three million.
"One hundred and eighty million!"
Only four million was added.
Yu Nian's fingertips, which were chilled due to nervousness, began to warm up inch by inch, and he raised his placard again almost as soon as the auctioneer's voice fell.
"Two hundred million!"
The auctioneer's voice was already hoarse, and Yu Nian directly increased the bid to break through the 200 million mark, and Xu Xu's whispers sounded at the scene.
After a long time, neither side raised their cards again.
Hammer once, twice, three times—
"Congratulations!"
The tensed strings suddenly loosened, and the cold back felt sensation again. Yu Nian raised his hand to cover the light in front of him, bent his lips and said with a smile - Grandpa, I did it.
After finishing the relevant procedures, Yu Nian let out a long sigh of relief, feeling as if the dust had settled. They first sent a message to Rong Yue and Yu Qing, telling them that "Insomnia Post" had been photographed. As soon as the message was sent, Meng Yuan called again, speaking quickly, "Niannian, is the news true or false?"
Yu Nian was startled, "What news?"
Meng Yuan spoke very quickly, "It's your name on the hot search again! The tag is #余年元嘉奖拍会#, a reporter took a picture of you, and the report said that you spent 200 million yuan at the Yuanjia Auction. , bought a piece of paper!"
At the same time, a man wearing thin-rimmed glasses and carrying a black briefcase walked over from the rest area on one side and blocked Yu Nian's way, "My boss is named Xiao, you should know him, he wants to talk to you about something. talk."
