Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Sideways Kick
He had long known that Yi Jiacheng was determined to obtain this Xia costume and valued it very much, but he still didn't expect Yi Jiacheng to attach such importance to this matter, and actually sent his only son, Yi Hang, to personally acquire and handle this matter.
"Boy, you don't have a chance, Yi Jiacheng even sent his most valued only son, which is enough to prove his determination!"
Wang Jianye knew that Lu Yuan also wanted to buy Xia's clothing, but thinking of this, he felt that Lu Yuan had no chance, and the competition was not easy to hang.
Hearing this, Lu Yuan showed a noncommittal expression on his face and did not speak.
In fact, Lu Yuan also felt the pressure in his heart, but he didn't care, he had a bottom line in his heart, if the price exceeded this bottom line, he could give up and choose other clothing companies, he was different from Yi Hang, and his patience for Xia's clothing was not so strong.
Yi Hang was invited into the auction house by everyone like the stars holding the moon, and Lu Yuan also entered the auction house with Wang Jianye.
This is worthy of being the largest auction house in Chu City, the decoration is magnificent, the space is huge, and some decorations are even more extravagant than the ancient palace, showing the financial strength of this auction house everywhere.
The auction hall is large and has three floors, with the lowest floor being the general area, the second floor being the members area, and the third floor being the VIP area.
Originally, Lu Yuan was in the ordinary area on the first floor, but he was taken to the membership area on the second floor by Wang Jianye.
The auction house has rules that members can bring one person into the membership area, so when Lu Yuan came to the second floor, no one stopped him.
As for the VIP area on the third floor, there is only one person in this auction, and that is the only heir of Jiangnan Textile Group, Yihang!
Soon, the host of this auction came to the stage, the host is a middle-aged woman, good-looking, charming, very capable, and has a strong grasp of time and rhythm.
After stirring up the atmosphere of the scene, she announced loudly that the auction had officially begun.
First, several small companies were auctioned, and under the coaxing of the host, the price was also very high.
More than half an hour passed, and at this time, with the host's words, Lu Yuan and Wang Jianye suddenly felt a burst of spirit.
"The next company to be auctioned is, Xia's Jewelry!"
The host knew very well that there were many people who were interested in Xia's jewelry this time, so he also did his homework.
"Xia's Jewelry was founded in..."
The host talked about the history of Xia's jewelry, focusing on the outstanding performance and praise of Xia's jewelry over the years, and made every effort to enhance the value of Xia's jewelry.
"Hmph! Xia Donghai is afraid that she has given this hostess a lot of money, so hard to help the Xia Group. ”
Wang Jianye watched the female host on the stage try her best to promote, and couldn't help snorting coldly, her tone was full of disdain.
When Lu Yuan heard this, he also nodded in agreement, it seems that Xia Donghai is indeed very short of money, and this kind of means has been used.
Soon, the hostess announced the starting price of Xia's jewelry, 400 million coins!
After all, Xia's jewelry has a good reputation in China, and there are more than 200 stores, which can be regarded as a medium and large jewelry company, and the starting price of 400 million famous coins is also expected by everyone.
"Each price increase cannot be less than 10 million!" the hostess reminded.
"I'll give 410 million!"
"420 million!"
"450 million!"
......
Soon, many people who were interested in Xia's jewelry began to bid, but Lu Yuan and Wang Jianye tacitly did not make a move, they were all waiting, and after others bid, the final bid of the two.
"800 million! This gentleman is out of 800 million! Does anyone still want to bid? 800 million once, 800 million twice, 800 million..."
At this time, one person came out of 800 million, which made the other competitors present stop bidding one after another, and when the hostess saw this, she began to count, and just when she was about to count to three, Wang Jianye made a move.
"900 million!"
Wang Jianye slowly raised the sign in his hand and said indifferently.
"This gentleman bid 900 million! Does anyone offer a higher price?" The hostess's face was full of joy, Xia Donghai promised her that the higher the price of the auction, the more she would be paid.
Hearing this price, the person who had bid 800 million before was also silent, and then gave up.
"1 billion!"
Seeing that Wang Jianye made a move, Lu Yuan was naturally not far behind, and now the others have basically withdrawn, leaving only him and Wang Jianye to bid.
"1.1 billion!"
"1.2 billion!"
......
Soon, everyone was attracted by such a fierce bidding between Lu Yuan and Wang Jianye, and they were all curious about Lu Yuan's identity, and he could bid with the richest man in Chu City without falling behind.
"1.5 billion!"
Lu Yuan's face was full of indifferent expressions, and he said a number again flatly.
Hearing this number, Wang Jianye had a thoughtful expression on his face, and after thinking about it again, he decided to give up.
Because before he came, he had already done an analysis and investigation, and came to the conclusion that it was 1.5 billion at most, and if it exceeded 1.5 billion, he would give up immediately, because if it exceeded 1.5 billion, this acquisition would be a loss.
"1.5 billion! Is there anyone still bidding?"
Lu Yuan saw that Wang Jianye had also given up, and his heart suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, in his heart, Xia's jewelry was already his.
But the next moment, a voice appeared, which suddenly made his face extremely gloomy.
"1.6 billion!"
Hearing this voice, Lu Yuan's face was very ugly, and his eyes were cold.
Hearing this voice, the people present also exclaimed, because this voice came from the VIP area on the third floor.
And in the VIP area on the third floor, there is only one person, so the person who bids could not be more obvious, it is the heir of Jiangnan Textile Group, Yi Hang!
Lu Yuan also knew that this bid was from Yihang, and he couldn't help but be furious, he knew very well that Jiangnan Textile Group had never entered the jewelry industry, and it had never planned to enter the jewelry industry.
The meaning of Yihang's move is indeed somewhat intriguing.
"Mr. Yi, when did Jiangnan Textile Group enter the jewelry industry?"
Wang Jianye had already given up, and he also thought that Lu Yuan would successfully auction Xia's jewelry, but after hearing Yi Hang's bidding, he was also a little puzzled, but he had a good relationship with Lu Yuan, so he asked Lu Yuan.
"Hehe, we don't mean to enter the jewelry industry, but we are a little curious to see that Wang Dong is bidding for a little-known young man. ”
Yi Hang smiled, his face full of flirtatious expressions, and his eyes full of mockery.
Hearing this, Wang Jianye's face was also a little unsightly, while Lu Yuan snorted coldly, his eyes full of anger.
