Chapter 749: Auction!
s you give me Apollo, I can offer you a high price, whatever amount you want." Violet said again."Although I pursue many things, money isn't one of them," Fang Yu smiled faintly, "Also, your procrast...8:00 PM, Beidu Center Hotel.
This is the largest venue in Beidu, and it often hosts various large-scale events on weekdays.
Tonight, the Flochi Auction House will be hosting its quarterly auction.
Floochi is a world-renowned auction house with a global reputation.
At the auctions held in Floch, you can see the most precious and valuable collectibles and artworks from all over the world.
And the prices of these auction items have also been setting new records.
Therefore, attending the Floreci auction became a symbol of wealth.
Assets below one billion dollars, not even eligible to become a member of the Florechi Auction House.
At this time, Fang Yu and Ye Shengxue, Qin Lang had already sat in the middle position of the seats at the banquet hall.
The entire banquet hall was almost full of people.
These people are the top figures in Beidu's secular world, the richest group.
This is not only an auction, but also a gathering of the upper crust.
People who come here are not necessarily interested in a particular auction item, but rather come to take a stroll, catch up with friends, have a chat, and soak in the atmosphere.
This is the life of high society, tedious yet endlessly enjoyable.
For Qin Lang, tonight's crowd was a great sign.
The large batch of jewelry Fang Yu provided must be sold for about 4 billion yuan.
If there are few attendees, or if the attendees don't have enough assets, then even with jewelry, it won't sell.
But judging from the intensity of the scene at tonight's auction, such concerns seem to be unnecessary.
The wealthiest group of people in Beidiao got together and spending forty billion wasn't even a thing for them.
"Tonight, there are a total of thirty-nine auction items. After these thirty-nine items are finished, it will be the turn of the auction items provided by Mr. Fang to take the stage..." Qin Lang said.
"How long will it take" Fang Yu asked.
"According to the original process, it would take about two hours," Qin Lang said. "But Jerry said he would try his best to compress the time and speed up the process, in order to win more time for the subsequent additional auction."
"Oh." Fang Yu nodded.
Sitting beside her, Ye Shengxue was flipping through a thick book introducing the items to be auctioned tonight.
"If you're interested in jewelry, go back home and have Xiaofeng bring you to the treasure hall. You can pick one at random there; no need to waste money here," Fangyu said.
"Mr. Fang, I just came to take a look... I'm not interested in jewelry." Ye Shengxue blushed and said hurriedly.
"There's no need to deny it hastily. When I was young, I liked things like gold and silver jewelry too," Fang Yu said.
To see Fang Yu's young face and then hear him say this would feel very strange.
But Ye Shengxue knew very well that Fang Yu's face was not necessarily his true age.
Although curious, Ye Shengxue knew this was Fang Yu's secret.
Fang Yu wouldn't bring it up on her own, and she certainly couldn't ask.
Just as Fang Yu and the others were talking, a sudden commotion arose from behind them, as if something had happened.
Fang Yu turned his head and saw a man and a woman walking in through the entrance behind him.
The man was well-dressed in a suit, handsome with features somewhat similar to Tang Ming's.
And the woman was graceful and beautiful, with light makeup on her face.
This man and woman are a perfect match, he is talented and she is beautiful.
And indeed, they were holding hands, their movements intimate, like lovers in the throes of passion.
That's the second young master of the Tang family, Tang Cong!
Then who was the woman beside him
"Need I say more Haven't you heard the news This woman must be Lu Chuyue, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, rumored to be getting engaged to Tang Cong next week!"
"Lu Family Which Lu Family"
"The Lu family from the martial arts world! How could you not even know that"
……
Gasps and murmurs of confusion filled the air.
And all eyes were on the young couple.
"Yesterday evening, the Tang family just announced that Tang Cong was going to be engaged to Lu Chuyue. Today, the two appeared together at the auction, obviously with intentions." Qin Lang frowned and said.
Tang Cong and Lu Chu Yue's appearance at this event tonight is quite telling.
This is a message to the worldly people of Beidu.
The Tang family and the Lu family are really getting married!
From now on, the Tang family will be one of the most untouchable families in the secular world of Beidu!
Tang Cong and Lu Chuyue walked hand-in-hand all the way to the middle of the first row and sat down.
From this vantage point, the Floch auction house also received the message and showed due respect.
Fang Yu watched Lu Chuyue's back, his eyes narrowed slightly.
This woman may seem young, but her cultivation has reached the Martial Saint Realm, which is equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage.
In other places, these are rare geniuses.
For example, Chen Luo, who was promoted to the Martial Saint Realm at the age of twenty-seven, shook the entire Huaibei martial arts world and was called a monster.
And this Lu Chuyue... seemed to be even younger than Chen Luo.
"It seems that during the many years I was away, the Beidu martial arts world has made quite a bit of progress," Fang Yu thought to himself, his eyes flickering.
Fang Yu was deep in thought, but a hushed conversation came from behind him.
"Hey, do you think there's something about Tang Cong that attracted the Lu family's daughter He actually managed to marry into the Lu family..."
"I just don't understand, even though he is handsome, the gap between the two families is too big, right"
"Perhaps it's for their own benefit Although the rules state that martial arts families can't absorb affiliated families... but marriage is something they can't control, right There have been families who did this before..."
Why did the Lu family choose the Tang family There are many better options than the Tang family... Also, look at the expression on the face of the Lu family's daughter as she walks with Tang Cong's hand... It seems like true love.
"True love! How did Tang Cong get to know Lu Chuyue People like us don't even have the chance to see the younger generation of martial arts families..."
These words, Fang Yu agreed with.
The aura emanating from Tang Cong indicated that he was only at the Grandmaster realm.
Compared to Lu Chu Yue of the Martial Saint realm, his talent is simply not on the same level.
These two people can only be together because of true love, it's hard to involve interests or other aspects.
However, none of that really matters.
Tonight, Fang Yu is here to sell jewelry.
The arrival of Tang Cong and Lu Chuyue caused a stir.
But soon the auction officially began, and everyone in the hall turned their attention to the stage.
"Thank you to all our honored guests for taking time out of your busy weekends to attend the auction hosted by Florechi Auction House..." Perhaps in order to control the time, Jerry, the person in charge, went up to the podium and personally served as the host.
After a heap of flattery and welcomes, Jerries formally began to introduce the first auction item.
As a matter of tradition, the first item auctioned at every auction is typically quite remarkable, serving as a warm-up act.
"The first item up for auction comes from the Western Regions, a masterpiece by a renowned master." Jerries lifted the red cloth off the table in front of him, revealing a glass box underneath.
Inside the glass box, there was a string of sky-blue beads.
"Tears of the Ocean. The entire necklace is composed of three hundred and twenty-three diamonds, while the pendant is a rare, icy blue sapphire expertly cut…" Jerries voice rose with excitement as he introduced it.
"This auction item has a starting price of 30 million yuan. Distinguished guests, you may now begin bidding."
After the introduction, we will move on to the main topic.
This necklace is the cream of the crop among tonight's auction items.
Many people are interested in it, so the bidding is quite fierce.
$40 million!
"Four billion five hundred million!"
"...Fifty million..."
The price keeps rising at a rate of five million.
"These people are so rich." Fang Yu said to Qin Lang beside him.
Hearing this, Qin Lang thought of Fang Yu's home, of the treasure pavilion in Fang Yu's house, and the dazzling brilliance within the treasure pavilion...
Thinking about this, he found it hard to agree with Fang Yu's sigh and could only give a strange look, remaining silent.
"Eighty million."
Just as the price kept climbing, a plain voice suddenly rang out from the first row.
Everyone looked forward and saw the person holding the sign, it was Tom Cong, who had been highly anticipated!
This instantly caused an uproar.
Tom Cong has bid! Will anyone else follow
Many who wanted to hold signs silently put them down.
Tom Cong was sitting next to Lu's only daughter!
This face, absolutely cannot be lost!see several tiny points of light flying towards his location.This dot is gradually getting bigger.Fang Yu frowned, zooming in on his view.Then, his face changed.These few specks of light are actually...
