Chapter 553: The So-Called Squandering (I)

Los Angeles downtown, a high-end club, Tang Qian followed Carly. Klaus walked into the hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The security here is quite tight, it does seem that there are a lot of valuables, in addition to verifying the invitation, you also need to verify the SSN, but Tang Qian is very curious, Carly. How did Klaus get the invitation to this place? Although she signed a contract with Victoria's Secret, and then began to take photos and hard photos at a very young age, but now it is an annual income of tens of millions of dollars, plus the consumption of supermodels is also high, so there is a big gap from the peak annual income of 500W knife in the future. At this level, of course, she is rich compared to ordinary Americans, but compared with real rich people, she is not worth mentioning.

According to the data of the Federal Census Bureau, the average family income in the United States in 2013 was 53,657 US dollars, equivalent to about 33~340,000 yuan, of which the highest income state is not California, but Maryland, and their annual family income is as high as 7+W US dollars. The lowest is Mississippi, with an average annual household income of 35,521 US dollars, about 220,000 yuan. Note that here is a family's pre-tax annual income, not a person's pre-tax annual income, so in contrast, the post-90s Carly. Klaus can definitely be regarded as a successful woman, after all, she is a person who has to pay the "rich man's tax", and a person's earning power has exceeded 10~20 family units.

But in Tang Qian's opinion, she is very "ordinary", because Tang Qian himself is now a tyrant with an annual income of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and with the newly signed AND1 fat contract, he has become a representative of young people and more gold. Compared to Carly. Klaus, he is the real "rich man". And the scale of tonight's occasion is obviously not a petty auction, so Tang Qian is very suspicious of how she got the invitation here.

Carly. Of course, Klaus wouldn't tell Tang Qian, it was sent by one of her suitors, and he originally felt that he would never go, but unexpectedly, this little invitation came in handy!

In this way, she really wants to thank this suitor, but unfortunately he is ill today and can't come to the scene.

Borrow flowers to offer Buddha, Carly. Klaus had a brilliant hand.

Compared with the rest of Taylor, Sophia, Sestin, etc., she is actually considered a "poor class", so the degree of effort is much higher, and models, whether you are a supermodel or not, are iron youth. Even if you make a lot of money now, when you get older in the future, you will be eliminated by the industry and become "cold and cold" and "no one cares". This also makes Carly. Klaus was a little more thoughtful and attentive than the previous ones.

She knows very well what she wants, so after setting her goal, she will definitely not be like Taylor, who wants face and has idol baggage. This is also one of the great strengths she considers to be herself.

Doing what she likes is her first hand.

People always have likes and preferences, so she found an entry point in basketball.

Last night on the 29th of the limelight and performance made Carly. Klaus made up his mind in an instant.

Therefore, a series of combat strategies took shape.

While waiting in the halls, Carly. Klaus seized the opportunity to chat with Tang Qian, due to the reason of taking pictures around the world, her knowledge and knowledge also made Tang Qian not feel bored. Moreover, because of the implicit deliberate approval of the compliment, this makes the latter feel more and more similar to Carly. Klaus chatting is a pleasant and fun thing to do.

Well, it really worked, and it didn't seem to be "such an expensive course" in vain.

Carly. Klaus is definitely the kind of person who wants something and desires far more than Taylor. Swift strongly.

This is determined by the environment in which you grow up and the environment in which you live.

It didn't take long for the auction to officially start, and Tang Qian was not interested in any cultural relics and monuments, because the purpose of his visit was for the so-called "most expensive basketball shoes". By the time the fifth object was about 5, Carly. Klaus pushed Tang Qian's arm and said, "Hot, that's it, the most expensive basketball shoe in the legend." ā€

Really?

Hearing this, Tang Qian came to his senses, and he sat up straight, wanting to be the first to see the true face of the sneakers.

Seeing Tang Qian's expression and movements, Carly. Klaus was even more sure in his mind.

The Oriental man next to him really loves basketball, he is not some NBA player, he only plays to make money.

What a pure mind, it's really worthy of the man Taylor and I fancy, different!

At the same time, it also makes Carly. Klaus secretly made up his mind.

This is also one of the purposes for her to bring Tang Qian here today.

The auctioneer is very professional in creating suspense, but it doesn't work out well, because most people seem to have received the rumors that they have no interest in the so-called "basketball shoes". This made the auctioneer also very familiar, and after briefly ending the rendering words, he directly opened the small box under him and said: "Nike.MAG, the future sneaker that has never been publicly sold on the market, produced a regular model in 2011 with a price tag of $3,800, but because the quantity was too small, the price quickly soared to more than $8,000." And today's one is a limited edition in 2013, the whole has been redesigned, adding the latest black technology HyperAdapt2.0 automatic induction shrink strap technology, as long as your foot is put in, it can be automatically adjusted according to your foot shape and size, automatic strapping. The shoe type belongs to high-top ankle support shoes, and there are Nike bosses, Michael. Jordan's laser signature, only 29 pairs are produced in the world, the lowest price is $1W, and the price increase is not less than $1k each time, ladies and gentlemen, you can start bidding. ā€

Is it the Nike.MAG series? Or this year's black tech limited edition?

Tang Qian used to like to collect basketball shoes and basketball equipment, but because of economic problems, he collected small items that were not very valuable. Now that the economic conditions have come up and the family conditions are also favorable, he can also do what he wants to do.

Almost as soon as he saw this pair of silver basketball shoes, Tang Qian was attracted by its "future appearance".

He thought about it for a moment, and was ready to pocket it.

Tens of thousands of dollars, I can still afford to "wave" now.

However, before Tang Qian had time to bid, a crisp voice appeared beside him: "1W1k." ā€

After Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, Huo Ran spoke: "Klaus is small. Sister, you ......"

"Hot, this is my reward gift for you, can you refuse, otherwise it will be too ungentlemanly~" Carly. Klaus smiled slightly, then turned his head away, ready to continue bidding. Although most people are not very interested in this pair of basketball shoes, there are always people who want it, so it didn't take long for someone to make an offer, saying, "1W2k." ā€

ā€œ1W4kć€‚ā€ Carly. Klaas also held up the sign.

The price turned quickly, and there was still no shortage of rich people here, so after only 10 minutes, the bid for this pair of basketball shoes became a full 9W dollars. Seeing this, Tang Qian frowned a little, and said, "Klaus is small. Sister, don't forget it, I think the price is a bit high, and if you bid again, you will definitely have to pay a premium. "Who knows Carly. Klaus was unmoved and said: "Hot, this pair of shoes was auctioned for more than $10W in London last time, not to mention that this is the basketball kingdom of the United States, my psychological price is far more than that, you can rest assured." ā€

After another 10 minutes, Carly. Klaus also gradually frowned, as the bidding price slowly approached $20W. Carly. Klaus's psychological limit price is $20W, I thought that a pair of basketball shoes would not be liked by so many people, and it seems that she still "despises".

In Carly. After Klaus quoted the price of 18W1k, someone obviously didn't want to play with her, and immediately raised it by nearly $2W, saying, "20W." ā€

"Forget it, Klaus Jr. Sister, there's no need to talk to ......" Hearing Tang Qian next to him say this, Carly. Klaus was even more determined to increase the price and said, "21W." "Without these shoes, she won't be able to move on to the next move and the next step.

For today's rare opportunity, Carly. Klaus, you can't afford to lose to Taylor.

She has also accumulated almost $100W over the years, for her own "happiness", Carly. Klaus decided to let it go.

Get these basketball shoes anyway.

People are excited for a while, and their blood is rushing to their brains, and they can do a lot of unbelievable things, such as the current Carly. Klaus, right on the edge. When the price exceeded 30W, the bidder on the opposite side also became impatient, and after quoting the new price, he turned his head by the way, wanting to see who the bidder No. 76 was.

Why do you want to deliberately "raise the bar" with yourself.

Well? Is it a woman? It's a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen it.

When the man wanted to turn his head back, a tall oriental figure attracted his attention.

This person, this figure is...... It's that damn Oriental!!

Shi.t! No wonder! If you're a professional basketball player, it's no surprise that you want these shoes!

But you think that Lao. Will it give you the right time? It's a beautiful idea!

The hatred of that day, just now to collect a wave of interest!

Look how I humiliate you!

"Mr. 13, bid...... The bid is 40W, which is an increase of 10W dollars in one go! Is there anything higher? "Auctioneers are a little excited, because as auctioneers, they calculate commissions based on the "premium" of the auctioned items. In other words, auctioning an object with a standard bidding price of 1000W is not as much as auctioning an object with a premium of 10W.

Don't think that if you exceed the lowest price, and then how much you auction, the auctioneer can make as much as you can't make, just like the oil painting in front of Tang Qian who doesn't understand the name, the starting price is 50W US knife, and finally the 120W US knife is auctioned, which looks good, but it only satisfies the seller. What about the organizers? The commission line they give to the auctioneer is 150W US dollars, so the auctioneer can't get a dime until this commission line is exceeded. If only the basic labor fee is calculated, he is afraid that he is similar to the waiter outside, and the difference is not big.

As for the pair of Nike.MAG limited edition basketball shoes in front of him, the commission line given to him by the organizer is 15W US dollars, and the excess part is calculated according to about 5:1. That's why auctioneers are smiling so much now.

The more the premium, the more commission he can get.

Who doesn't like those green things in the world's largest country by capital? With money, in the United States, you have everything. This is probably the most popular national motto of US imperialism. So as the premium gets higher and higher, the auctioneer is getting more and more excited and excited.

How much money can be filmed, that has nothing to do with him.

He only cares about how much money he can get in the end.

40W? Isn't this guy crazy? Even if it's a limited edition MAG, it doesn't cost so much money, right? Did you meet a collector who is not bad for money? Carly. After thinking about it, Klaus bit his silver teeth and continued to follow the price.

"Bidder No. 76 bids 41W! Is there anything higher? He shouted like this, but the auctioneer's eyes were fixed on the seating area of No. 13. When he saw that No. 13 continued to bid without hesitation, the auctioneer's voice was excited again, and he said, "No. 13 bidder bids 51W!" Is there anything higher? ā€

"Forget it, Klaus Jr. Sister, this is too much, these shoes are not worth so much money. "Tang Qian hasn't finished yet, Carly. Klaus bid again, 52W! It can be seen that she is bound to get these shoes. However, the number 13 is clearly better than Carly. Klaus is not bad for money, and it can be seen from every time he increases the price, and it is basically 10W once in the later stage, so it is for Carly to fight like this. Klaus is unfavorable.

In fact, Tang Qian was afraid of Carly. Klaus was deceived by the organizer's "trust", and finally paid a large sum of dollars because of his willfulness. But now the latter is a little red-eyed, and he doesn't give Tang Qian a chance to interrupt at all, and keeps following the price and increasing the weight.

After a while, the "value" of this pair of Nike.MAG limited edition sneakers exceeded $80W, No. 13 was fine, and No. 76 was Carly. Klaus, for his part, gradually slowed down, and the bid became more and more hesitant. Several times, it was only after the auctioneer asked for the second time that she gritted her teeth and made a move.

Tang Qian could see that her funds were starting to be tight.

Think about it, although supermodels make a lot of money, they are still not comparable to celebrities, I remember that I saw a Forbes supermodel annual income list in my previous life, Carly. Kraus is in 11th place with an annual income of $500W. Although she is a proper "female tyrant" compared to ordinary people, this money is placed in the star, and she can't even make a splash. For example, the current Tang Qian's annual income will exceed her peak by a large margin.

So Don Submarine predicts that Carly. Klaus was ready to give up.

But it's nothing to give up, Tang Qian even feels that giving up is the right thing to do, for a pair of sneakers, he doesn't feel that it's worth it. Even if he loves to collect basketball equipment, then it is necessary to consider the cost performance, right? And after receiving such a valuable premium gift, Tang Qian would feel uncomfortable.

Wait, why did she give me something so valuable? It won't be ......

As soon as this thought came out, Tang Qian was a little frightened, and he couldn't help but ask, "Klaus is small. Sister, take the liberty of asking, are you really going to give me these shoes after you bought them? "Carly. Klaus looked extremely lost and disappointed, and in her negative mood, she quickly replied: "Of course, hot, of course it was intended for you, but unfortunately everything is impossible now, that hateful 13th has ruined everything!" ā€

When Tang Qian heard this, he felt a little relieved, and said, "Klaus is small. Sister, I can't afford to give me such a valuable thing. You must know that there is a saying in our East, there is no merit and no merit. "Carly. Klaus seemed to realize what he was talking about, and as soon as his mind turned, he found a reasonable "excuse" and said: "Hot, you helped me so much last time in the Glove Cafe, how can you pay it off in one meal?" Am I not too selfish and cold-blooded? I'm a Christian~"

Christians again? Tang Qian knew that it was normal for Europeans and Americans to believe in Christianity, and it was even a fashion and trend, but he really wanted to ask, how many devout Christians are there in the United States? But now is not the time to ask questions like this, and Carly. Klaus's answer negated his own speculation.

It looks like I'm too narcissistic! People are just a piece of kindness and a piece of good intentions, don't be too "dirty" in your thinking~~~ You have to change it in the future~~~

But to be honest, after hearing this, Tang Qian's heart was slightly moved, because no matter what he did with Carly. Klaus's relationship is close and close, but people sincerely thank you, which is worth his favorability for the latter. After all, whether it is the East or the West, being able to repay kindness and be grateful in your heart is a rare person. In modern society, materialism is rampant, and how many people have received help from others and can be truly grateful?

Verbally say thank you and have a meal, as if you have paid off other people's "mutual help", and you will not owe each other in the future.

It's not that you have to report if you help, but people's attitude is too cold, which will only make this already indifferent society more indifferent, even cold. People are emotional creatures, and they don't want money or fame to help each other, but at least they can get gratitude and gratitude. If someone tells you that doing good deeds doesn't even require gratitude and gratitude, then he is one of the greatest original sins of this society.

Because in this way, it will only make there fewer and fewer good people and more and more indifferent.

Based on this, Tang Qian decided to make a move.

"85W for the second time, is there anyone else to bid?" The auctioneer was already very happy, and he could get a large commission for this premium item alone. But as soon as he shouted "the third time", someone broke the situation again.

"No. 76, No. 76 bid 1,100W!" The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, and after he confirmed that the number was correct, his face turned red again and said: "100W for the first time, is there anyone else who wants to bid?" ā€

100W??? No. 13 was also stunned, because he just felt that the other party had no money, why did he suddenly increase so much??? However, he was unwilling to let go of the other party and continued to follow the price.

"Someone is bidding again, the 13th is bidding 105W! 105W for the first time, does anyone else want to bid? The auctioneer is so happy that his heart is blooming, how can he not see from his experience that No. 13 and No. 76 are pinching each other, and this situation is also the easiest to get a high price premium.

"Bid 76, 2,200W???!!! Bid 76 200W!! The auctioneer shouted loudly so that the audience could hear clearly. This made the 13th in front of him angry and said: Is this crazy? Directly $1 million opened the ??? Her money was blown by the wind???

Of course he didn't know that as a person who had experienced life and death, Tang Qian looked at money very lightly. As long as it is enough to maintain one's normal life, this is the latter's view of money in this world. So how much can be earned and how much it costs, as long as Tang Qian thinks it is worth it, he will do it, and he doesn't think about the question of losing or not losing at all.

Compared with the previous life, the mentality invisibly produces a sense of detachment.

However, this is also a change that slowly occurs as his value gets higher and bigger.

PS: Xiaozi continues to go to the second watch, friends who can't wait can get up in the morning and watch it again~

By the way, about this pair of sneakers, the auction price is indeed true, and the highest has been auctioned for more than 20W US dollars, that is, more than 130W yuan~
