Chapter 1395: Chapter 1394: Can Buy 15 Cars!
Actually, Jiang Fan was reluctant to sell his Rolls-Royce Shadow. He had expended a great deal of effort and leveraged nurous connections to acquire it with difficulty.
But he was also a tad clever.
He knew that such an expensive Rolls-Royce Shadow would definitely not attract bids. If it was passed over at the auction, the car would be returned to him!
By doing this, he managed to keep up appearances and retain the car.
What is this called? This is called the art of pretense!
He couldn’t help but praise his own cleverness, truly a natural-born master at pretense!
Without , Jiang Fan, the world of pretense would be like an eternal night!
At the mont, he had also set a high price.
Of course, as a consumable item, he couldn’t set the auction price more than double its original cost!
Thus, he directly set the price at $5.4 million!
He believed that by setting such a high price, nobody would bid for it, right?
When that happened, it would definitely be passed over at auction, and the car would return to his hands.
At this ti, the venue was indeed stirred by his Rolls-Royce Phantom, causing quite a commotion.
Many people at the event had brought their treasures to auction.
Typically, items worth several hundreds of thousands or millions, at most tens of millions, were auctioned off. The most common were antiques, but even those were valued at only a few million.
Such occurrences where a Rolls-Royce Phantom like Jiang Fan’s actually ca up for auction were very rare.
After all, it was valued at $28 million!
When converted to RMB, that’s close to two hundred million!
And now, its starting bid was even doubled.
Many people even started discussing it.
“Young Master Jiang’s Rolls-Royce Shadow must be the most valuable item in this charity auction, right?”
“It should be, given its original price is nearly two hundred million and he doubled the auction price.”
“You can tell that Young Master Jiang just brought it out to show off; he hadn’t planned to really sell it, otherwise, he wouldn’t have doubled the price.”
“Yes, which resentful person would double the price? He obviously anticipated that it would be passed over.”
“Jiang Fan really knows how to put on a show.”
“But he has the capital to show off. Can you bring out a Rolls-Royce Shadow? Can you bring sothing worth two hundred million to show off?”
“…”
In fact, many people had guessed his intention, but they couldn’t help but remark that he indeed had the capital to boast.
At that mont, Jiang Fan’s gaze continued to focus on Lin Dong, his eyes full of smugness.
He wanted to see what Lin Dong would bring out for auction.
However, after a long watch, Lin Dong hadn’t produced anything noteworthy. Instead, he saw Tang Mu, who brought out an album.
“This is the first album I released; it has so collectible value. As for the price, let’s set it at ten thousand.”
Tang Mu was attending this auction for charity, not primarily by selling items as she didn’t have much to sell.
Her main aim was to spend money buying whatever she liked.
Sotis, she indeed managed to find so nice items at such auctions.
In this way, she could acquire what she liked and contribute to charity, why not?
Seeing Tang Mu present her first album, Jiang Fan’s eyes lit up, and he firmly declared:
“I’ll take Tang Mu’s album!”
anwhile, he also saw Lin Dong handing over sothing pitch-black to the staff, apparently preparing to auction those items.
Jiang Fan couldn’t help but sneer: “What is he bringing to auction, ah… probably so old dicinal plaster or sothing. I’m impressed, bringing such things to a high-end event like this to auction. Really impressed by him!”
In his eyes, the items Lin Dong brought for auction probably weren’t even worth one of his car’s tires.
He didn’t pay much more attention to it.
What Lin Dong brought out were his alchemically crafted pills.
However, he didn’t bring many, just two pills.
One Revitalizing Pill and one Nine Rebirth Pill!
As for the auction price, Lin Dong said to the staff, “After your Miss Cao reviews them, she will naturally know how to price them.”
The staff were sowhat baffled, this man’s confidence was astounding.
Why so sure that their Miss Jianjia, after seeing these dark pills, would be able to price them?
“It seems like you’re making this thing out to be a big deal!”
But seeing Lin Dong sitting next to Tang Mu and Li Yanran, she naturally did not dare to neglect or openly mock him, only nodding in response to his request:
“Okay, Mister, I will take the item you want to auction to Miss Jianjia to set the auction price.”
“Mm,” Lin Dong nodded.
Then, the beautiful staff mber walked over to Wang Xiuxin and the man in the black robe.
“Young Master Wang, are you going to auction anything?” the beautiful staff mber politely asked.
Wang Xiuxin shook his head, as he had not prepared anything to auction this ti.
He had co to attend this charity auction solely to accompany the man in the black robe; otherwise, he had no interest in such charity acts.
The beautiful staff mber nodded slightly, then turned to the man in the black robe and asked, “Mister, what about you?”
Although she did not know the specific identity of the man in the black robe, seeing how respectfully Wang Xiuxin treated him, she naturally did not dare to slack off.
At that mont, the man in the black robe took a Dan dicine out of his bosom.
Seeing this, Wang Xiuxin quickly asked, “Master Qin, is this a Qi-Boosting Pill?”
The man in the black robe nodded, “Yes.”
After saying that, he handed the pill to the staff mber, then told her, “This Dan dicine has a starting bid of five hundred million!”
“What?” The beautiful staff mber was stupefied upon hearing this.
Who was this, asking such a huge amount for a weird pill?
Who would buy it?
Was he here just to cause trouble?
Even more outrageous than the man who was sitting between Tang Mu and Miss Li Yanran!
The man earlier had only asked her to take two pills to Miss Jianjia for pricing, but this person was straightaway setting a price of five hundred million.
This was truly outrageous.
She couldn’t help but say to him,
“Mister, I’m sorry, did I hear that wrong? Did you just say, starting from five hundred million? Are you sure it’s not five dollars?”
Upon her words, Wang Xiuxin coldly snorted, “What do you know? And talking about five dollars, do you even realize what that thing is?”
“People of your level could never understand things from our martial arts circles or even alchemist circles.”
“Stop talking nonsense; if I say it’s five hundred million, then it’s five hundred million. Just watch how people will bid for it later.”
Hearing Wang Xiuxin’s words, the beautiful staff mber quickly nodded and dared not say more.
Since she hadn’t misheard, she would simply follow his instruction.
But in her heart, she was still shocked.
She wondered if soone would really spend five hundred million on such a pill?
Afterward, she took the pill back and gave it to her boss, Cao Jianjia, saying,
“Miss Jianjia, Young Master Wang Xiuxin’s friend brought out a pill to auction, claiming a starting price of five hundred million. It’s even more expensive than Young Master Jiang Fan’s Rolls-Royce Phantom. Is he causing trouble?”
However, upon hearing this, Cao Jianjia imdiately asked, “Where is that pill?”
She quickly brought out the pill.
As soon as she took out the pill, she saw Miss Jianjia’s face suddenly change, followed by an astonished exclamation,
“This is a Qi-Boosting Pill that can only be made by the Nanyang Pill Alliance; this is indeed a valuable item, definitely worth a starting bid of five hundred million!”
Hearing this, the beautiful staff mber was floored.
The pill, although looking plain and unimpressive, was actually so expensive?
Suddenly, she thought of the man who was sitting between Li Yanran and Tang Mu, who had also given her two pills.
She hurriedly said, “Oh yes, Miss Jianjia, another man also gave
two Dan dicines, saying that once you see them, you would know their worth.”
“Oh?” Cao Jianjia curiously said, “Show
those pills quickly.”
The beautiful staff mber quickly took out the two Dan dicines Lin Dong had given her.
Upon seeing the two Dan dicines in her hand, Miss Jianjia’s expression beca even more shocked than before.
“These… These are Resuscitating Pills and Nine Rebirth Pills!”
The beautiful staff mber asked doubtfully, “Miss Jianjia, are these two Dan dicines also very valuable?”
“Valuable! Of course, they’re valuable! This Resuscitating Pill is priced at two billion in the market, priceless and in high demand! The Nine Rebirth Pill is also priced at one billion, equally priceless!”
“Hisss…” Hearing this from Cao Jianjia, the beautiful staff mber gasped sharply in shock and stood frozen in place.
Then, she murmured blankly, “These two unremarkable-looking pills combined could buy 15 Rolls-Royce Phantoms? Oh my, oh my! This is unbelievable!”
