Outside the Sotheby's auction house on Sichuan Road, along the front door of the auction house, there are a row of more than a dozen open-top "Huntsmei" carriages and a beautifully decorated milky white four-wheeled carriage......

"The concession is a country within a country, and we are the king of a country!" Or the words of the Jardine Matheson Madiarch back then, which showed the essence of the concession, these foreign Taipan were the real top names in the concession, and looking at these carriages, most of the passers-by and patrols who occasionally passed by knew that another round of land auctions had begun.

Since the opening of Shanghai's port, the foreign companies from the West have relied on two kinds of land to make money, one is tobacco soil, and the other is land. As early as 20 years ago, with the localization of tobacco, the foreign banks that had long relied on the tobacco to achieve the original accumulation had long been abandoned, only the land, but it was the same profiteering, Shanghai opened the port for 60 years, the land price increased thousands of times, for these foreign banks that hold the "only rent but not sell", the annual rent alone can earn millions of yuan.

Land has always been the hottest business in the concession, and it is also the focus of competition among major foreign companies.

As soon as the carriage came to a stop, standing on the shelves behind the carriage, two young men in black coats and top hats jumped out of the carriage, one stood beside the carriage, and the other opened the door of the crystal glass.

"Do you know who it is?"

He was chatting with Sassoon with a smile on his face, and pointed out the window to the carriage parked on the street and asked.

Originally, this ordinary four-wheeled carriage was quite common in the concession, but the dress and behavior of the two men behind the carriage were eye-catching, and the slightly stronger man got out of the carriage and stood opposite the carriage door, on the outside of his face, with his hands in his coat pockets, if he was right, Matt believed that the man's coat pocket must have been cut out, and he must have held a pistol in his hand. The other person opened the door with his left hand, and his right hand was also inserted in his pocket, this kind of precaution and caution was the first time in Shanghai Beach.

Sassoon, who was holding a wine glass, shook his head, but his eyes swept the clothes of the two people, and recognized that it should be made by a handmade dress store, and the price was very expensive, that is, the entourage was dressed like this, and Sassoon had a sense of expectation for the people in the carriage.

Not far from them, by another window, Xiao Xinren, who was holding a champagne glass, looked at the scene downstairs, the effect caused, and nodded with satisfaction, this is the result of the discussion between the two three days ago, and as soon as he appears, he will attract the attention of others.

When these so-called big classes were looking forward to Chen Moran's "fan", they would have thought that this was just a little "vanity" after Chen Moran made a fortune, and learned from those rich people and officials on TV, if it weren't for the fact that the sunglasses were too ugly now, maybe Chen Moran would give Lin Yuqing and Zhu Jialiang a whole pair.

And the manager Jackson who greeted the guests outside the auction house, while smiling with a professional surname on his face, also had some expectations for the people in the car, the thirteen twelve tycoons who signed up to participate in the auction of "Rich Garden" have arrived, and the last one, or this person, unlike other people's ignorance, he knows that the car is Chinese.

As soon as the car door opened, the first thing to come out was a black wooden crutch, and the sharp-eyed Jackson immediately recognized that this crutch was definitely expensive, and after stretching out the crutches, Chen Moran walked out of the carriage with the crutches in his hand, and then smiled into the carriage.

"Oh my God! It's Miss Gilly! ”

As soon as Ji Li, who was dressed in a red dress in the carriage, walked out of the carriage, Jackson's eyes suddenly widened, he was completely stunned, how could it be her, especially when she smiled and put her arm between the Chinese's elbows, Jackson only felt that the vinegar jar in his stomach was overturned, and the astringency was extremely uncomfortable.

"Miss Ji Li, welcome!"

Suppressing the vinegar in his heart, Jackson, with a professional smile on his face, politely opened the door for them in person.

Arm around Chen Moran's elbow, Ji Li nodded politely and chuckled.

"Mr. Jackson!"

When the two left, looking at the background of the two, especially Ji Li's slender figure like a boneless snuggling beside the Chinese, Jackson's expression was bitter, Ji Li is a famous beauty in the concession, from a year ago, she came to the Shanghai Concession, I don't know how many men worship under her pomegranate skirt, don't look at her so soft and charming appearance, but rarely fake colors to men, Jackson as one of the suitors is very clear.

And now she is holding the arm of a Chinese man shyly, and while Jackson is surprised, it is more of the bitterness of broken love.

Almost after Chen Moran led Ji Li into the auction hall on the second floor of the auction house, everyone who was originally there to laugh like a snake was stunned at the same time, they did not expect that the person who made them somewhat look forward to it was actually a Chinese, and what was even more amazing was the woman next to him - Ji Li Grace, the tycoons here are no strangers to her, to be precise, to their sisters, after all, this is a pair of two of the most delicate flowers in the Shanghai Concession, the most rare is the famous flower ownerless, and now one of the flowers, He actually showed up at the auction with a Chinese.

For a while, the entire second floor suddenly boiled like boiling water, and even Sassoon, who was originally gloomy, showed a look of surprise, and his eyes faintly exuded a greedy essence.

Feeling the gaze of everyone, Chen Moran, who had been smiling, knew that he had done the right thing, if he came here, it would be impossible to achieve such an effect, with a beauty, especially a famous beauty in the concession, he would often receive unexpected results.

As soon as he entered the auction hall, Chen Moran saw Xiao Xinren who had entered the auction half an hour early, so he held Ji Li, nodded and gestured to those tycoons he never knew, and walked towards Xiao Xinren, and Xiao Xinren threw a look at Chen Moran that only the two of them understood.

"They're all watching you!"

Before sitting down, Chen Moran turned his head and whispered in Ji Li's ear as if kissing, such a kiss only provoked Ji Li's face to blush, she had long been used to other people's eyes, but it was the first time that she had kissed like this.

Ji Li, who was blushing, was holding Chen Moran's arm, and the faint flickering charm of her blue eyes made Chen Moran stunned by her beauty.

"Ahem, yes!"

Xiao Xinren pulled Chen Anran back, and after Chen Moran sat down, he whispered a little bit.

"I don't think we need to spend that unjust money to buy that house, I promise that tomorrow, those people will be asking you around!"

After the expected effect is achieved, in Xiao Xinren's opinion, at least there is no need to buy a house now, mixing in Shanghai Beach is nothing more than fame, and having fame will be profitable, as long as these big classes compete to get to know him Chen Moran, then his fame in Shanghai will naturally come, and he will still be guilty of spending that unjust money.

"Weiyang,"

Turning his head to look at Xiao Xinren, Chen Moran had a smile on his face, from entering this room and seeing the surprised eyes of those senior classes, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"It's working, but why not make it better?"

For Chen Moran, who already has tens of millions of families, this money is simply a small amount of money, which was spent during the day today and printed at night. And the most important thing is that you must make yourself famous in Shanghai today, only in this way can you squeeze into the celebrities of Shanghai, and finally achieve the purpose of turning fame into money.

When Chen Moran spoke, Ji Li, who was as delicate as a rose, was quiet like an oriental woman, sitting there with a smile on her face, occasionally casting her soft eyes on Chen Moran, this appearance only caused the people around her to be amazed.

Sassoon leaned his head back slightly, and one of the people in the back row stretched his head over.

"Ask who he is!"

His voice is not loud, but most of the tycoons who have entered here are doing similar actions, for them, the sudden appearance of Chinese figures in this auction may not be surprising, after all, China's rich people abound, but it is very rare to be able to hold this Chinese who have never been a fake Miss Ji Li to participate in the auction.

Dozens of seconds later, the man returned to his seat and whispered a few words to Sassoon.

"Chen Moran!"

Although it was unfamiliar, Sassoon nodded and wrote down the name. At this time, the auction had already begun, and almost as soon as Hartung made a bid, the attaché next to Sassoon held up a sign and added 10,000 yuan.

"Murran, have you really decided to buy Rich Garden?"

Soon after the auction began, looking at the rising prices, Ji Li bowed her head and said softly without concern.

"Ambition is bound to win!"

Chen Moran replied quite confidently, and when Xiao Xinren asked if he raised the card, he shook his head, it was not yet time. Although he had never participated in an auction before, he knew that if he wanted to make a big impression at the auction, the best thing to do was to wait until the end.

"The price of the 6th is increased by 10,000! Now the auction price is 740,000! ”

The expression of the British auctioneer did not change with the increase in the auction price, but the latest quotation was repeated from time to time, and in the entire auction room, except for the auctioneer's voice, almost no sound could be heard, and the tycoons participating in the auction just signaled their attachés to raise their cards from time to time, which seemed to be just a normal but ordinary auction.

"Ran ......"

Facing Xiao Xinren's doubts, Chen Moran shook his head again, and now he was not ready to bid.

"Wait, Weiyang, look at the people here......"

He swept his eyes around.

"More than half of them are Jews, and there is a saying in the Jewish saying that the fiercest wild dog gets the fattest bones! In our China, there is a saying that a dog that bites does not bark, and now, it is not yet time to be ruthless! Let them scream for a while! ”
