XXXIV. Crazy Auction
"This hotel is good, I asked for it. Raphael said with a smile as he got out of the car and looked at the resplendent Hotel des Nations.
"You want it, I didn't say I wanted it for you. Giles said with a laugh as he stepped out of his Rolls-Royce.
"Wouldn't this be your territory, would it?" said Owen, looking at the dozens of flags floating in the air.
"I can't think of anyone else who dares to name all nations but him. Ye Feng tidied up his clothes and walked towards the hotel, and everyone followed.
After the group arrived at the top floor of the hotel, Raphael's eyes immediately lit up, and countless beautiful women in sexy bikinis were playing in the two huge swimming pools on both sides of the main road leading to the auction, and from time to time water splashed on Raphael's body, and there were several people in the distance who kept flattering a few people.
"It's still early, let's be free. Ye Feng looked at Raphael, who was about to be snatched away, and said with a smile, Raphael and Davik immediately threw things to a few people after hearing Ye Feng's words, turned around and ran towards the locker room.
"Boss, the auction inside will start soon, are you interested in going to see it? Giles touched his big bald head and looked in the direction of the auction and spoke.
"It is said that the auction of the Hotel des Nations is very valuable, and I would like to see it. Zhou Yi echoed and said.
"You're so interested, and my curiosity has been piqued, let's go and see how many good things our Giles Judge has collected to auction. Ye Feng quipped, and then walked towards the auction with a few people.
When several people arrived, the auction had just begun, but the seats in the front row were already full, and when Giles called the auction staff and was about to order the preparation of the VIP box, Ye Feng directly interrupted Giles, because Ye Feng saw Qi Xuexin's shadow in the front row, and was quietly sitting on a chair looking at the stage in a daze.
"Boss, do you want to go to the front row?" Zhou Yi also saw Qi Xuexin's figure, walked to Ye Feng's side and said.
"No need, let's just sit here. Ye Feng found an empty place and spoke, and several people quietly found a place to sit near Ye Feng when they saw this.
"The next auction is a pair of Mr. Qi Baishi's "Pine and Cypress Gaoli Diagram Seal Book Four Words Couplet", as early as a few years ago, this work had been auctioned at a sky-high price of nearly 400 million, but two years ago after several changes of ownership, and finally collected in our International Hotel, if you like Qi Lao's works you can seize this rare opportunity, the starting price of this painting is 300 million, and the price increase shall not be less than 10 million each time. The host said passionately.
"It's worthy of the Wanguo Hotel, I didn't expect to even get this painting, so the blessing that Qi Lao sent to this painting is worth 300 million, and I will pay 320 million. An old man in the center of the first row of the audience held his glasses, took a closer look at the painting, and then held up a sign and said.
"As long as you can win it within 500 million, you will definitely not lose, 330 million. A middle-aged man in the middle row also held up a sign after thinking about it in his heart.
Qi Xuexin looked at the painting in front of her and couldn't help but be moved, Mr. Qi Baishi is the old lady's favorite modern painter, and the old man also has a deep relationship with the Qi family, if he can take this painting and give it to the old lady, I believe he will be very happy, but this painting is really not the idea of shouting for Qi Xuexin, 300 million is higher than the profit of the entire Huihao Group in a year, Qi Xuexin hesitated for a while and still did not raise his hand.
"Xuexin, do you like this painting, if you like it, I'll take a picture of it and give it to you. Zhou Wenhao, who was on the side, also saw that Qi Xuexin's expression had changed a little, and immediately spoke.
"No need, thank you. Qi Xuexin said coldly.
But before Qi Xuexin finished speaking, Zhou Wenhao had already raised his hand, "Three hundred and fifty million." Zhou Wenhao said loudly.
"I didn't expect Secretary Zhou's son to come, forget it, let's give Secretary Zhou a face. Several people around also recognized Zhou Wenhao's identity, and they all said that they had no intention of bidding again, and the host on the stage also sweated in his palms when he saw this, if no one bid now, then they would lose miserably.
Just when there was silence on the field, a crisp voice rang out in the back row, "Four hundred million." Ye Feng waved his hand and said.
Zhou Wenhao's face, which was already smiling, immediately became gloomy, "It's this guy again." Zhou Wenhao couldn't help but curse after seeing Ye Feng's face clearly.
"Four hundred and fifty million. Zhou Wenhao gritted his teeth and continued to increase the price.
"Five hundred million. Before Zhou Wenhao finished speaking, Ye Feng immediately increased the price and said.
Qi Xuexin also turned her head to look at Ye Feng after hearing Ye Feng's voice, and when she heard Ye Feng's second bid, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but raise a faint smile.
"Brother, I don't care which way you are on, give me Zhou Wenhao a face today, and we will be friends in the future, 550 million. Zhou Wenhao gritted his teeth and looked at Ye Feng and said, and then raised his hand again with difficulty.
"Billion. Ye Feng said in a flat tone, as soon as the billion opened his mouth, the entire auction hall erupted into an exclamation, Ye Feng opened his mouth again and directly increased the auction price by two times, such a price made people completely lose the desire to bid, Zhou Wenhao looked at Ye Feng and stopped bidding after hearing this price, and the host on the stage finalized the auction item almost in a second.
"Boss, I'll give you this, don't be polite to me. Giles said to Ye Feng after taking a sip of tea.
"How could I be polite to you, besides, I don't have any money, and your sister-in-law is in charge of the money at home. Ye Feng patted Giles on the shoulder and said, Ye Feng's words almost made Giles squirt out the tea in his mouth, and several others were also amused by Ye Feng to laugh.
None of the next few auction items Ye Feng was eye-catching, including Qi Xuexin, who was no longer interested in any of the auction items.
"The last auction item is more interesting, which is a stone found by our big boss from an oil well in the Middle East, this stone is amazing and can generate heat on its own, and this heat is just able to neutralize the heat emitted by the human body, as for other uses, you may need to discover it yourself. The host also didn't understand why a broken stone was the finale.
"You found this in the oil field?" Ye Feng said after seeing the stone, looking at Giles.
"Yes, this stone is very strange, no matter how I heat it, it won't change at all, and there is no way to destroy it, but there is always a stream of energy seeping out from its inside, does the boss know what this thing is?" Giles leaned over to Ye Feng and said.
"Probably a myelinite. Ye Feng said with some uncertainty after observing it carefully.
"Legend has it that a small piece of the Hellite Stone contains enough energy to be produced by a volcanic eruption, and if it is a Pillite Stone, it will be enough to support all the organs of the Yama Hall for several years. Bai Yao said coldly.
"Do you still have anything there?" Ye Feng asked with a glance at Giles.
"There's another piece, about three or four pounds. Giles gestured for a moment and thought for a moment.
"Then I want this piece, the cold poison in your sister-in-law's body has not been completely lifted, with this thing, it is estimated that it will be cured soon, and I will return it to you when the time comes." Ye Feng looked at the stone and said.
"The starting price of this stone is 500 million. As soon as the host's voice fell, the audience exploded again, and the starting price of a broken stone that I don't know what it was was was as high as 500 million, which was clearly playing everyone present as fools, and the host looked at the audience and no one bid, and he couldn't wait to throw this stone down immediately.
Just when everyone was talking, Ye Feng's hand was raised again, "Five hundred million." Ye Feng stood up and said.
"500 million deal!" The host looked at Ye Feng like a savior, and immediately struck the hammer and said loudly, countless people on the field looked at Ye Feng like fools, but Ye Feng's mind was on this stone at this time, and he didn't have time to pay attention to everyone's eyes.
After the auction ended, it was close to evening, and Zhou Wenhao behind the auction house spent a lot of money to charter the PA
TY has also kicked off, dozens of young men and women of the same age as Qi Xuexin walked into the venue, and when they saw familiar faces, Qi Xuexin's face finally showed a smile.
"Xuexin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful, how do you feel about Wen Hao's arrangement this time?" A girl wearing a black short skirt suit with heavy makeup immediately ran over and said when she saw Qi Xuexin.
"I'm just here to relax, and I'm just a normal friend with him. Qi Xuexin said.
"Who in our class doesn't know Wen Hao's heart for you, this time he has put a lot of effort into picking us up from all over the country, and you two are the most compatible pair in our eyes. Another girl chimed in.
"I'm married. After Qi Xuexin heard the words of several people, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her tone became a little cold.
"You guys are really, and you've made our big class unhappy again, but Xue Xin, as an old classmate, I have to persuade you a few words, we all know what your husband is, the poor boy still entered your house upside down, how can this kind of person compare with Zhou Wenhao, if you can walk with Wen Hao, the Qi family will have a place in the entire River Province in the future. A strong, tall and handsome man walked up to Qi Xuexin and said with a smile.
