The doubtful light in the emcee's eyes became even brighter. Not only her, but also many of the guests present thought that Qi Yue was here to cause trouble. If it weren't for her coming with Hai Ruyue, I'm afraid some people would have raised objections. .
Qi Yue ignored the emcee, turned around and walked back to his previous position. He took Hai Ruyue's little hand, and the smile on his face gained a bit of mysterious brilliance.
After asking the chairman of the Women's Federation for instructions, the master of ceremonies finally accepted Qi Yue's donation. According to the rules of the auction, the higher the reserve price, the lower the auction item, and the reserve price marked by Qi Yue was obviously The highest auction item of all.
"Okay, our auction now officially begins. First of all, the collection we are going to auction is a gift from the President of France to the President of our country. It has a beautiful name, called Black Pearl." The master of ceremony said Showing his professionalism, he first made a high-profile statement, and the mysterious light in his eyes swept towards the guests below, arousing everyone's curiosity.
"Don't get me wrong, the black pearl I am talking about is not a real pearl. Maybe you have heard of its name before. Its full name is the Louis XIII Black Pearl. Louis XIII is the oldest The brandy brand has an extremely long history, and Louis XIII Black Pearl is the most classic and luxurious cognac among the three. It consists of 1,200 species originating in the Grand Champagne region of France for 40 years. It is brewed with water of life that has been brewed for a hundred years. Its precious value is not only for tasting, but also has a very high collection value. There are only 768 bottles in the world, and the bottle we are auctioning today is even more valuable. It is No. 1 among them, and it has a very obvious mark. Whether from the value of the gift from the French President or from the bottle of Louis XIII Black Pearl itself, it is the most precious collection of wines. Even its bottle is It is an artificially carved crystal with high-purity silver floral decorations carved on it. As the first auction item today, its base price is 300,000 yuan, with each increase of 10,000 yuan."
As we all know, the first auction item in an auction is always just a guide. However, this bottle of Louis XIII Black Pearl immediately aroused Qi Yue's interest. You know, he likes wine very much, but... He had never heard of any wine selling for this price.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand." As soon as the reserve price came out, someone immediately made an offer. The person who made the offer was the woman surnamed Wang from Hengyuan Group who was holding the No. 44 plate and had been tricked by Qi Yue before.
Ruyue whispered in Qi Yue's ear: "The value of this bottle of wine is mainly reflected in its number. Seventy-eight sixty-eight bottles of Louis XIII Black Pearl, the domestic price is about 60,000 to 70,000 per bottle , coupled with those gimmicks, we have such a low price.”
Qi Yue nodded. He had already made up his mind to spend money. Naturally, he would not care about the value of the auction item. He immediately raised the number plate in his hand and said: "Longyu Group, four hundred thousand."
That Mr. Wang obviously wanted to regain his face at the auction. Before anyone else could bid, he immediately fired back: "Five million, Hengyuan Group."
Qi Yue snorted coldly, glanced at the kings provocatively, and said calmly: "Dragon Domain Group, one million."
His words caused an uproar in the audience. One million for a bottle of wine was really too much. However, seeing Hai Ruyue next to Qi Yue, everyone could understand. After all, Hai Ruyue usually Longyu Group also contributes a lot to charity.
However, Qi Yue's quotation aroused the dissatisfaction of one person, and that was Ru Yue's brother Zhang Junxiao. He frowned at Qi Yue and walked over without leaving a trace.
The woman surnamed Wang was obviously irritated, "1.2 million, Hengyuan Group."
Qi Yue looked at her, smiled slightly, handed the number plate to Ru Yue, and said: "Hengyuan Group is indeed a pioneer in charity! I admire Mr. Wang's courage and kindness in contributing to charity, so I will give this Let me give you a bottle of wine." He is not a fool. Although he has said before that he will buy all the auction items, no matter who they are sold to, as long as the price is high enough, they are all for charity to him. Contribution has been made to the cause.
At this time, Zhang Junxiao happened to walk up to Ruyue, and suddenly heard Qi Yue withdrawing. He was stunned for a moment, and then, he couldn't help but subconsciously cast a pity look at the woman named Wang from Hengyuan Group.
The woman surnamed Wang was not a fool. She was so angry with Qi Yue that she almost vomited blood, so she was so impulsive. It was too late to regret it now. She was sold to a high price of 1.2 million for her wine. Even if she wanted to regret it now, it was too late. At such a price, naturally no one would compete with her. This first auction item naturally fell into the hands of Mr. Wang. Although the auction was successful, , she looked at Qi Yue and Ru Yue with even more resentment. Although she concealed it well, how could Qi Yue, who had superior mental strength, not feel it? But will he care? the answer is negative.
The first auction item was sold at a high price, which immediately made the chairman of the All-China Women's Federation on the stage smile with relief. It was so high-profile at the beginning, but the subsequent auctions showed that they would not be calm.
With a slight smile, Qi Yue's eyes showed the light of victory, and he took the number plate from Hai Ruyue again.
Zhang Junxiao asked Ruyue in a low voice: "Isn't he crazy? What if Mr. Wang didn't accept the move just now?"
Ruyue took a look at each of his own, and said naturally: "Then let's buy it. It wasn't me who bought it, it was him. He just bought Chuangshi Network in the name of our Longyu Group. He paid for it. Brother no need to worry."
Hearing what Ruyue said, Zhang Junxiao immediately relaxed. After all, although Longyu Group was rich, it was by no means brought by strong winds.
Listening to his beloved woman giving him face like this, Qi Yue couldn't help but smile gratefully to her. If it wasn't in full view of everyone, I'm afraid he would have pounced on Ru Yue and gave her a sweet kiss.
Soon, the second auction item began to be auctioned. This time, Qi Yue was not in a hurry to bid. The auction item was an ancient inkstone, which was obviously very valuable for collection. The base price was one million. The bidding process was obviously not as good as before. The price went up one after another, and as everyone slowly increased the price, in a while, the price of the inkstone was raised to 1.2 million, and Mr. Wang seemed to be very hurt by the previous impulse, and like Qi Yue, he was not in a hurry to bid.
"One and a half million." Qi Yue finally spoke. As soon as he spoke, he immediately raised the price by a quarter.
At this time, all the guests looked at Qi Yue with strange eyes. Qi Yue knew very well what those eyes meant. These people obviously regarded themselves as troublemakers. When he spoke, the whole audience suddenly changed. There was total silence.
When Qi Yue reported the price, his half-smiling gaze fell on Mr. Wang. The light in his eyes clearly contained provocation, as if to say, if you have the ability, keep coming!
The actual price of the ancient inkstone was actually only around 1.2 million. When it was added to 1.5 million, it was already far more than this value. This time, the woman surnamed Wang from Hengyuan Group was not impulsive and said coldly. He glanced at Qi Yue and said nothing.
"Is there anyone who continues to increase the price?" the emcee said with a hint of joy. After all, her commission is related to the total price of the auction, and judging from the current situation, it is obvious that today's total auction price cannot be low.
The people present are all business elites. Although they are all women, they all have outstanding IQs to participate in this cocktail party. Chuangshi Network is faced with an unreasonable price. Even if it is for charity, they will not pay the previous woman surnamed Wang. So impulsive.
"One and a half million, the first time."
"One and a half million, the second time."
"One and a half million, the third time. Deal."
Without any suspense, Qi Yue got this second collection. After a simple registration, the auction continued.
The female elites present naturally saw Qi Yue's provocation to the women surnamed Wang, and were happy to give up the battlefield to them. After all, it is always a good thing for them that there are people rushing to raise funds for charity. After all, not everyone can People like Qi Yue hope to contribute to charity.
The auction continued. When the fifth collection also had its owner, Qi Yue had completely become the focus of the audience. Except for the first collection, the next four auction items were all successfully auctioned by him, and the auction was successful. The price is also far higher than the base price. Often when other people quote similar prices, he will suddenly say a price that is more than 20% higher. From then on, it is naturally difficult for anyone to negotiate with him. scramble.
Although the woman surnamed Wang also wanted to compete with Qi Yue, she was afraid of being tricked by Qi Yue again and paying an unnecessary price. She could only watch Qi Yue pocketing the auction items one by one without any means. , after all, under the absolute pressure of money, she could only tell herself to calm down and wait for the opportunity later.
Qi Yue always stood beside Ru Yue, holding the auction sign in one hand, and holding Ru Yue's soft and slender hand with the other hand. He already had an accurate estimate of his current funds. So far, four auction items have been sold. It cost him about six million yuan, and the prices for subsequent auction items will only get higher and higher.
Zhang Junxiao looked at Qi Yue with a strange look, and kept thinking secretly in his heart, where did Qi Yue get so much money? You must know that within three days after the auction ends, all items obtained from the auction must be paid for the corresponding amount. From his understanding of Qi Yue, although this young man is somewhat mysterious, no matter how he looks at it, Unlike someone with so much money, Qi Yue's auction was in the name of Longyu Group. In other words, everything he auctioned was recorded in the name of Longyu Group. At that time, if he suddenly disappeared, Or if there is no money to pay, Longyu Group will be in trouble. As the vice president of Longyu Group and one of the direct heirs, Zhang Junxiao is inevitably a little worried. Although he wants to speak out and ask his sister again, when he sees Ru Yuewang He couldn't help but hold back when he looked at Qi Yue. He and his sister had grown up together, and this was the first time he saw such a sweet look in his sister's eyes! And all of this is brought about by this inconspicuous man in front of him. What charm does he have that can attract his proud sister
Zhang Junxiao was secretly guessing the source of Qi Yue's funds, but Qi Yue had no intention of stopping. The auction was still going on, and the money spent from his hands was like running water. It only took a while. When the auction was two-thirds of the way through, Qi Yue had already spent a full 20 million yuan. The prices he quoted were very high, which naturally made Ru Yue's original estimate of the total transaction price for the auction items much higher. This is one of the few collections he gave away to others. Otherwise, it would be more than this number.
Qi Yue is very shrewd. Although he seems to be arrogant on the surface, he is very skillful during the auction process. When the price of an item is speculated to be very high, he will give up at the right time, causing some malicious people to The person raising the price fell into it, and the woman surnamed Wang had already been fooled twice more. Although it was not as much as the amount exceeded on the first bottle of wine, it was still a huge loss, and the resentment in her eyes could not be suppressed.
"Okay, during the intense auction, all the guests must be a little tired. Why don't we let us rest for a while, and then continue with the rest of the auction thirty minutes later. In addition to the special auction items donated by Mr. Qi, the rest of the auction will The total value of the items will also exceed the sum of the previous auction items, please wait and see." The emcee temporarily interrupted the auction with a smile, and at this time, the waiters appeared at the right time and brought all kinds of drinks and snacks. Replenish what was previously consumed.
The previously silent banquet hall became noisy again. With the beautiful and slow music melody, female elites from the business world such as Chuangshi Network gathered together according to their own preferences, and most of the topics discussed were Around the previous auction, their eyes frequently fell on Qi Yue. There were endless speculations about the relationship between Qi Yue and Ru Yue, and the two of them became the focus of the audience.
Qi Yue was asking Ruyue in a low voice about the value of the things he had photographed. Zhang Junxiao's voice suddenly came from beside him, "Mr. Qi, I wonder if I can talk to you alone."
Qi Yue turned his gaze to the tall and handsome man and smiled: "Of course."
Ruyue frowned slightly and said: "Brother, you..."
Zhang Junxiao interrupted her and said: "Don't worry, I won't steal your sweetheart, it's just a casual chat. Mr. Qi, why don't we go to the balcony to get some air? The air there should be better than here."
