Chapter Forty-Eight: The Flowers Are Becoming Charming
Yan Xiwen gritted his teeth and flipped through the brochure in his hand.
A piece of good things pass by, modern luxury goods, antiques, famous jade, pendants, necklaces.
These were not in his plan before, but now that he is really participating in this grand event, in the frenzied atmosphere surrounded by the left and right, Yan Xiwen feels that something in his heart seems to be stirred.
He's tempted!
The reason why people are human beings is because they have other desires besides eating and mating.
Desire is the desire of human beings, which includes two aspects: one is the spiritual desire, and the other is the material desire. The former belongs to psychological desires, and the latter to physical desires.
Yan Xiwen is also a human being, and in the case of having ability, his desire will be even stronger, because he can satisfy his desires in a relatively relaxed environment.
In the Buddhist scriptures, the world in which human beings live is called the realm of desire, because human desires are endless. The basic desires of human beings can be summarized into five types: wealth, sex, fame, food, and sleep, and everyone who lives in the world of desires is indulged in a strong desire for the five desires.
Wealth, Yan Xiwen has 2 billion assets, and in the future life, 100 million yuan a day, 1,100 yuan per second!
Color, beauty is often around, and it is relatively satisfying at present.
The definition of food in Buddhist scriptures is very broad, including not only daily diet, but also a good living environment, the will and desire to survive, and spiritual food. Yan Xiwen has no shortage of fine daily diet, and the living environment is also very satisfied, the will and desire to survive will not easily give up life after having hundreds of millions of savings? Spiritual food, he watches live broadcasts and rewards anchors casually, reads novels and rewards authors, spends money to buy luxury goods for the women he likes, spends money for the comfort of his own life, and spends money for the good living conditions and health of his family, all of which make Yan Xiwen feel satisfied. So in terms of food, he is also relatively satisfied.
Sleep, sleep until what time you want every day, and sleep at what time you want. But what do you say about this thing. Yan Xiwen gets up at about 7 or 8 o'clock every day, and he restrains his desire in this regard, because he thinks that lazy people will procrastinate. Procrastination is actually a subconscious lack of confidence that he can complete it very well, so he deliberately delays until he has not enough time to start working, but Yan Xiwen is obviously not. After picking up the black card, Yan Xiwen was already very modest if he didn't swell to the limit, he may not have been confident when he used to work in RFY company, but now he is dealing with bank executives, and I have unconsciously cultivated my own self-confidence, confident that there is no money to settle things, and things that can be settled with money are not a matter in his eyes. But he no longer has the previous idea of eating and drinking every day and waiting for death, but has a sense of urgency of time, as if the black card will be lost in the next moment, and major changes will occur in his life.
Only the last one, the name, is hard to find.
Fame is the hope for fame and status. And where does the prestige and status come from? How can the thunderbolt show the bodhisattva's heart! Without revealing one's own financial resources, how can others know the energy they have. The aroma of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but if this wine wants to sell well all over the world, how can it be done without good publicity?
People live in the world, only fame and profit are difficult to give up!
On the occasion of everyone surrounding and everyone showing their financial resources, for a person like Yan Xiwen who has a huge amount of money in his hands and has never seen the world, it is really difficult for him not to open his mouth to watch others bid. He can't wait to take pictures of every lot, enjoy the envy and jealousy of the people around him, and then enjoy the admiration and admiration of the people around him.
But reason suppressed his desires, and he knew that if he did, it might end badly.
The two personalities fought fiercely in the interior, and a voice in his heart said temptingly, buy it, buy it all, I have money, I can buy it whether he is useful or not. Another calmly analyzed, you can't buy it, you have already taken a big risk to buy shares, and then you will definitely cause an uproar if you buy most of the lots. It may even attract the attention of the relevant media, and now is not the time to buy it.
Yan Xiwen felt that his mouth was very dry, so he picked up a bottle of water on the table and unscrewed it to moisten his throat.
The first lot of Cartier watches has been auctioned, and the beautiful auctioneer is introducing the second lot, the 10 bottles of perfume that Yan Xiwen wants to buy and give to women.
"Since ancient times, perfume and woman have had an intimate and delicate relationship. In ancient Greek legend, a long, long time ago, Aphrodite, the goddess of love, was pricked on the finger by a rose, and the blood she shed gave a scent. This beautiful legend has made perfume inseparable from the beginning with romance. ”
"The beauty and elegance of a woman are secretly conveyed through the graceful scent, showing a unique personality charm. Ladies and gentlemen, No. 2, a bundle of 10 bottles of Chanel Limited Collection Gardenia Perfume, with a starting price of 200,000 RMB, and a price increase of not less than 5,000 RMB each time. ”
"Buyer No. 158 bids 210,000 yuan, and buyer No. 158 bids 210,000 yuan, does anyone increase the price?
"Buyer No. 23 has a price increase, 220,000, 220,000, has anyone increased the price?"
"230,000, 230,000, buyer No. 76 bid 230,000, is there a higher price? Has anyone increased the price?"
As soon as this sentence was spoken, it was obvious that the atmosphere of the entire auction hall was higher. Money, power and women, these three are the things that can tug at a man's heartstrings the most.
Under the screams of the auctioneers, the prices continued to rise.
Offstage, Yan Xiwen's psychological struggle has reached the limit, his hands are white and he is holding the armrests tightly, his eyes are not in focus, and his face is abnormally ruddy, all of which reveal his fierce fighting heart.
Whew!
Closing his eyes, Yan Xiwen picked up the quotation on the table, and listened to the fanatical voice shouting all kinds of words in his ears, and the atmosphere in the entire auction hall was extremely hot.
Bao Yujing beside her was immediately attracted by Yan Xiwen's movements, and stared closely at Yan Xiwen's hand holding the quotation device, as if there was some peerless treasure in that hand that attracted her attention. Chen Lijun and Cao Jian sat on Yan Xiwen's right hand, looking in the direction of the auctioneer in front of the right, and the two did not observe Yan Xiwen's movements for the first time.
At this time, the price has reached 400,000, which is more than double the starting price, and this price has also reached the psychological price of many people. After all, the reason why this perfume attracts so many people to bid is that it has a very high counter price, and it is limited to the world, and the amount that is still in circulation since its launch in 2015 is very rare, and the second is that it has a collectible value.
But this kind of luxury has its price limit, a limited edition and collection value is twice the market price to buy is already very amazing, the value of this thing itself is so much, mainly uncommon, relatively rare, so that it seems precious to be auctioned. Like the first auction item, Cartier watch, it is not only the world's top ten famous watch Cartier brand, but also has been confirmed to be a famous watch worn by a celebrity, so it not only has the nature of luxury but also has the nature of a famous object, so the starting price is 500,000 yuan, and the auction price is 2.86 million, which is because of the celebrity effect.
But this perfume obviously can't be counted as such!
Yan Xiwen entered the number of 420,000 with a nervous face, and then swept the invitation in his hand, and the bidder displayed in an instant: The offer is successful!
"420,000, the 18th buyer bid 420,000, did anyone increase the price? Is anyone willing to increase the price? Does anyone increase the price?" the auctioneer tries his best to encourage buyers to participate in the bidding, and the auctioneer can take dividends from the lot, and the higher the price of the auction, the more dividends she can draw. Chen Yueqing is a 5-star auctioneer, according to the rules of the industry, she can extract 2.5% of the auction price, naturally the higher the transaction price, the higher her income.
The No. 18 buyer was Yan Xiwen himself, and the auction company told him their respective buyer numbers when they sent the invitation letter. His buyer number was No. 18, and at this time, Yan Xiwen was finally able to sit and enjoy the situation of the entire venue.
His position is located in the center of the auction hall, on the far left. In addition to Bao Yujing staring at herself with a pink face next to her, President Zhang leaned on the chair in front and looked at the auctioneer with his hands on his chest, and even more so Lawyer Chen and Comrade Cao Jian on the right!
The whole venue was full of voices, but it was limited to a certain decibels, and all kinds of voices were endless. But through the loudspeakers throughout the venue, Yan Xiwen could clearly hear the seductive voice of the female auctioneer.
Well?
Yan Xiwen's eyes swept to Bao Yujing next to him, Bao Yujing looked at him without squinting, and reached over to hold Yan Xiwen's hand. Yan Xiwen had just struggled for a long time, his palms were wet, and he subconsciously retracted, but Bao Yujing's soft hand grabbed harder.
"What are you doing?" Yan Xiwen gestured with a mouth shape, he didn't speak, for fear of attracting the attention of Zhang Tianxiang in front of him and Chen Lijun beside him.
Bao Bao leaned his head on Yan Xiwen's shoulder, his eyes were moist, and his mouth was close to his ear and whispered: "I see you're so nervous!
Yan Xiwen's tense body instantly relaxed because the bag suddenly leaned over, and she wanted to be crooked. It just so happened that Yan Xiwen was wrong and said: "You want to go wrong, not because of this nervousness." ”
seems to be defending himself, as if he is quibbling again, Yan Xiwen just wants to make people unable to distinguish their true thoughts.
