The auction site was getting more and more crowded.
Wang Chang'an and Li Kequn also arrived. Seeing Ye Beichen from afar, they greeted him with a smile.
With Han Yue present, they didn't dare to approach and chat.
Ten minutes later, the lights in the auction hall dimd.
On the central auction stage, a graceful woman in a cheongsam walked out.
She looked to be in her early twenties, very young!
Well-maintained!
Her skin was fair, and her figure was exquisite.
She exuded a gentle charm amidst her voluptuousness.
A quick look at tinyurl/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.
There was also an innate nobility about her.
This was natural, sothing that couldn't be imitated.
The woman in the cheongsam introduced herself, "Hello everyone, I believe those who have attended Sotheby's auctions a few tis are already familiar with ."
"However, there are obviously so new faces here."
"To accommodate these friends, let introduce myself."
"My na is Li Jiaxin, from the Li family of Harbor Island."
"I am the general manager of Sotheby's auctions in the mainland."
Harbor Island, the Li family. Those words said it all!
No further introduction was needed!
Ten years ago, the Li family of Harbor Island was the richest in the Dragon Nation.
In recent years, they were surpassed by mainland figures like Jack Ma and Tony Ma!
However, the Li family already held a noble title in the Eagle Nation, having long transcended social classes.
"Li Jiaxin! She's Li Jiaxin, the princess of the Li family from Harbor Island!"
"The fashion icon!"
"A supermodel!" Su Youning was very excited.
Zhou Ruoyu also looked at Li Jiaxin on stage with envy, "Wow, she's so beautiful."
Ye Beichen smiled slightly, "My Ruoyu is the most beautiful!"
"Beichen, you always know how to flatter."
Zhou Ruoyu's face blushed charmingly.
Ye Beichen laughed, "I'm telling the truth."
In terms of looks, Zhou Ruoyu was not inferior to Li Jiaxin at all.
If she were to take so beauty-enhancing pills, she could definitely outshine Li Jiaxin.
Ye Beichen thought that if he had the chance, it wouldn't be a bad idea to refine a batch of pills for Zhou Ruoyu.
"Now, let's welco the first auction item, the Portrait of a Lady."
With Li Jiaxin's announcent, the auction began.
An ancient painting was brought up and hung on a stand!
The starting bid was thirty million!
After so bidding, it was sold for a high price of eighty million!
The next seven or eight auction items.
Were all antique calligraphy and paintings.
Ye Beichen wasn't very interested!
He waited until the fifteenth auction item.
"Wow, it's so beautiful," Zhou Ruoyu couldn't help but exclaim.
"What, do you like it?"
Ye Beichen asked with a smile.
It was a red jade pendant, as red as blood!
Carved into the shape of a phoenix.
Vividly lifelike!
Red jade!
Extrely rare, each piece is worth a fortune.
Especially this piece, carved into a phoenix, was once a royal item.
Priceless!
Practically a national treasure!
"It's too expensive, starting at eighty million," Zhou Ruoyu shook her head.
So wealthy individuals were still competing.
"83 million!"
"88 million!"
"95 million!"
Far more than eighty million, the price kept rising.
For Zhou Ruoyu, this price was astronomical.
Even if she liked it a lot, she didn't want it!
Because it was too expensive.
"No problem."
Ye Beichen, looking calm, directly bid, "Three hundred million!"
Swish—!
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Ye Beichen.
Filled with astonishnt!
Even those top-tier wealthy individuals were dumbfounded.
Is this how auctions are played?
Everyone was slowly bidding, gradually raising the price.
Who bids like Ye Beichen, jumping straight to three hundred million? More than tripling the price.
"Three... three hundred million? Gulp!" Su Youning swallowed hard.
Chiba Mako looked over and sneered, "So he's here to please a woman."
"Three hundred million once!"
"Three hundred million twice!"
"Three hundred million three tis, sold!" With the auctioneer's gavel, the red jade was taken by Ye Beichen for three hundred million.
The auction staff ca over, ready to swipe the card for paynt.
"Please wait, let handle it!"
Wang Chang'an moved quickly.
Stopped the auction staff.
"I'm his friend, I'll pay."
Swipe, sign!
All in one go!
The auction staff were stunned, not understanding what happened, and the red jade was taken by Wang Chang'an.
He happily delivered it to Ye Beichen, "Mr. Ye, your item."
Ye Beichen was a bit amused, accepting the red jade, "You're really fast."
"Hehe, it's what I should do, you go ahead." Wang Chang'an smiled happily and returned to his seat.
Many wealthy individuals cast surprised glances!
A wealthy man in a designer suit frowned, "Ye Beichen is famous, but is it worth spending three hundred million to befriend him?"
"Definitely not worth it!"
Another wealthy individual shook his head.
Wang Chang'an heard this and found it amusing: 'How would you know what happened at the Dragon Capital charity gala? Not to ntion three hundred million, I'd be willing to spend a billion!'
Han Yue smiled without saying a word.
She also wanted to pay, but Wang Chang'an beat her to it.
Li Jiaxin also looked over, her beautiful eyes blinking, asking a few questions to the servant beside her, and then suddenly understanding.
Li Kequn's eyes were burning with jealousy.
He was also a step behind, and Wang Chang'an snatched the chance to pay!
Damn it!
"Ruoyu, it's yours now." Ye Beichen handed the red jade to Zhou Ruoyu.
"Ah!"
Zhou Ruoyu was extrely delighted, looking at the phoenix-shaped red jade.
She couldn't put it down.
Beside her, Su Youning was both envious and jealous, her eyes almost watering.
The next auction item appeared, this ti it was pills suitable for Heaven-Rank Martial Artists.
One pill started at thirty million!
In the end, each pill was auctioned for around one hundred and fifty million!
Ye Beichen was a bit surprised.
"Doctor Ye, these pills are difficult to refine and can cultivate Heaven-Rank Martial Artists in batches! For so wealthy individuals, they are already a luxury." Han Yue noticed Ye Beichen's surprise.
Indeed, that's the case!
Not everyone can beco a Grandmaster-Level Martial Artist.
For ordinary people, becoming a Heaven-Rank Martial Artist already requires a lifeti of effort.
A genius like Ye Beichen might not appear even in a thousand years.
After the pill auction, the auction was nearing its end.
Li Jiaxin appeared, pushing a cart onto the stage with a small bronze cauldron on it!
Swish!
All eyes in the room focused on it.
Many wealthy individuals' breaths beca rapid!
Wei Ziqing's gaze sharpened, "Is this the cauldron Miss Chiba has been longing for?"
"It's it, it's definitely it! At all costs!" Chiba Mako stood up abruptly.
After receiving surprised glances from those around, she restrained her excitent and sat back down!
"An ancient bronze cauldron, the era is unknown, but those who want it have surely researched it before coming." Li Jiaxin smiled slightly, the light shining on the bronze cauldron, "I won't say much, starting bid, ten billion!"
"Eleven billion!"
"Fifteen billion!"
"Thirty billion!"
Several wealthy individuals from the Dragon Nation placed bids one after another.
Clearly, they were prepared and knew the value of this cauldron.
Chiba Mako laughed, "Hahaha, tonight, none of you will compete with !"
"For this cauldron, I bid one hundred billion!"
As her words fell, the room was in an uproar!
"One hundred billion." Su Youning almost bit her tongue.
Zhou Ruoyu beside her was also very surprised.
Han Yue frowned, initially wanting to try competing, but hearing the one hundred billion price, she instantly gave up.
"Is it Chiba Mako?"
"Is this woman crazy?"
"One hundred billion?!! Damn!"
So wealthy individuals from the Dragon Nation started swearing.
The one hundred billion price was indeed intimidating!
If they continued to compete, they might end up bankrupt.
"Is there no one else? Hahaha, the cauldron is mine!" Chiba Mako's face flushed with excitent, showing a look of ecstasy.
Just when everyone thought the cauldron was going to fall into Chiba Mako's hands.
Ye Beichen revealed a confident smile and calmly uttered two words:
"One trillion!"
