Act 17: The Feast of the Dragons (2)

All kinds of high-end cars stopped at the door one after another, the red taillights flashed in turn, the heavy doors opened, and the first to come down was a man in a black tuxedo or a night dress, a white embroidered shirt, and a metropolis-style parted head smeared with heavy hair oil, the light was recognizable.

Then the hand that poked out of the car was wearing a long white velvet glove, and the silver watch was worn outside the glove, and the man held the hand, and lightly pulled out the modern woman wrapped in mink and veiled, the slender heel of the shoe stepped on the ground, and the calf stretched out a graceful arc.

White steam overflowed from the mouth of the sewer, and men and women walked arm-in-arm towards the opera house as if they were ...... Chicago in the 1950's Golden Age.

Time seems to have gone back 60 years in an instant.

"Senior brother, I don't wear a watch, and I don't have that many decorations." Nono looked out the window, "Will it disgrace you?"

"How so?" Lu Mingfei whispered, "Senior sister is always the most dazzling."

There was a crowd in front of them, the car slowly stopped, and the greeting waiter came up and was about to open the car door.

Lu Ming didn't hurry to stop him, but opened the car door by himself and stretched out an arm, "Senior sister."

Nuno laughed, and she got out of the car by Lu Mingfei's arm.

"Mr. and Miss Lu, welcome to today's auction." The waiter bent down and saluted respectfully, "Please come with me."

Lu Mingfei thought that the waiter's costume was a bit funny, a white tuxedo, white gloves, silver cuffs, embroidered gold wire trim on the brim, and a gold pocket watch chain was pulled out of the pocket of the white jacket, retro and grand, and the etiquette was complicated and lengthy.

Chen Motong held Lu Mingfei's forearm tightly, and the waiter led them to the door, through the dimly lit, long passageway, the fragrance of perfume in the space seemed to float off the ground, and all Lu Mingfei saw was the strong backs of the men and the delicate skin on the shoulders of the women.

"Don't look at it." Nono elbowed him to the waist.

"I really didn't see it!" Lu Mingfei hurriedly withdrew his gaze.

They stepped into the main hall of the opera house, and the glitz swept in from all directions.

The columns that surround it resemble the ruins of the Parthenon on the Acropolis, but painted in a sumptuous dark red, supporting the dome-like ceiling, and one after another giant crystal chandeliers dispel all shadows.

The golden dome and walls are painted with the battle of "Ragnarok", the wool carpet with green mandala patterns, and the seat number is marked with brass plaques on the red suede seats.

The curtain shook, and a man in a black tuxedo walked out.

"Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's Summer 2010 Orienteering Auction will begin in five minutes, and I am the auctioneer for this time." The auctioneer paused, "Then now, please close your eyes when it's dark."

"Senior sister, we don't need to ignite the golden boy." Lu Mingfei whispered to Nuo Nuo, "I feel that every time those people who desperately ignite the golden boy have to hold on until the end of the auction, and finally the exhausted people are really like two fools."

"Heroes see each other in the same way." A low and cold voice came from the side, "After all, we are here for what we like, and we are also happy to spend money, and we are always tired after lighting the golden boy for a few hours."

Lu Mingfei turned his head, and next to him was a pair of golden boys like bright lights, and the pair of golden boys was a young man in his twenties.

"Romario Townes, tell me Ro everyone to try it soon. 】

"It was an extraordinary lot and all of our auctioneers were amazed when they saw it. It's very beautiful, it's the pinnacle of crafts......" the auctioneer paused.

Lu Mingfei guessed that he would definitely say "but" next, and sure enough, the auctioneer changed his words.

"Unfortunately, we can't find out how it has been passed down or how old it is, so we can't get a good starting price for it. With the seller's permission, this is our rare zero starting price auction, and the markup can be one dollar each time." The auctioneer held up a finger.

There was a bit of a commotion in the atmosphere, which was a new thing, with zero starting prices and a one-dollar mark-up at a time

There is no way to guess about this thing, and the curiosity is even stronger.

The auctioneers were pleased with the atmosphere of the scene, it was clever marketing, and the first step they had already attracted attention. He slowly lifted the lid of the case, "Fabulous weapon...... Alchemy Sword Combo!"

A dark golden sharp light flowed along the crack in the opening of the lid, and Lu Mingfei felt the sound of seven different heartbeats coming from inside, calling excitedly to him.

"Bronze Purgatory: Seven Deadly Sins"!

"Your task today is to take it, at all costs," Ange's voice came from the headset, "just shout hard, the school board will have money anyway."

Lu Mingfei was stunned, there is room for oil and water!

The wishful thinking in his heart clanged, the seven deadly sins must have been caught by Sister Mai and Sister Enxi, so the money will definitely come to them, and their money is Lu Mingze's money, Lu Mingze is my younger brother, and my brother's money is my brother's......

So! Round it off! Mr. Lu's vote netted 100 million from the old things in the school board!

Lu Mingfei is fluttering, if he gets this 100 million, he can get rid of the life of being supported by his senior sister, and then make a fortune as the CEO to marry his senior sister, and support her for the main customer!

"Hurry up and give me gold coins, old thing!" Lu Ming couldn't help but say out loud.

"What's the gold coin?" Nono asked a little strangely.

"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingfei hurriedly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and looked at the stage.

"Is it a copy? No matter how good the preservation is, it won't be flawless, right?" Someone in the VIP seat questioned, "It looks like a Swiss Army knife from the factory this year!"

"I'm sorry, we said it ourselves, we can't confirm its age and heritage, so it's just your interest, anyway, it's a good set of swords, buy it back and at least use it as a kitchen knife." The auctioneer shrugged his shoulders and made a joke to block the question back.

"Okay, $1!" Someone held up a sign.

"$2!" Someone immediately followed, and the guests all smiled generously, and this particular way of bidding was like a game for these half-breeds with a net worth of millions.

"$3!"

The price rose again and again, and the auctioneer's face was slightly embarrassed, which was the ridicule of the guests for him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, even a few hundred dollars for a set of Damascus steel kitchen knives," the auctioneer smiled helplessly, spreading his hands, "Can we come up with some competitive prices?"

"Yes, 200,000."

The moment this quote came out of the box on the right, the eyes of the audience were attracted.

In addition to the fact that the offer of this high jump is quite lively, there is also that special voice, no one would have imagined that such a casual female voice is so charming.

Under the dark red velvet curtain of the box, a girl in a gold embroidered robe sits upright, holding the "88" number plate in her white gloved hand.

The golden veil covered her entire face, revealing only the graceful eyes with crimson wisps on both sides, and the high combed bun, and the bright red rope between the long black hair.

She sat there quietly, her eyes lowered, looking young but imposing, like a queen at this great event.

"Little Mai is ridiculous!" Lu Mingfei raised the sign with great courage, "I'll give 10 million!"

Everyone present was silent for a few seconds, and then collectively gasped as they turned their heads to look at the unattractive young man.

"He didn't even ignite the Golden Boy!" Someone whispered to his companion.

"It can't be a dirt bun from somewhere!"

"Unlikely, look at the woman holding his hand, how could such a dazzling woman hold the hand of a dirt bun?"

Doubts and exclamations followed.

The assistant walked quickly onto the stage and whispered a few words in the auctioneer's ear, and the auctioneer had a solemn expression and nodded slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your interest in this lot, but we must guard against overstating the price

As a result, the auction was successful but we couldn't pay for it, so we had to ask Mr. Lu on the 17th to go with us to the finance room, during which time we suspended the auction." The auctioneer bowed slightly.

"Senior brother, it's going to be okay, right?" Nuo Nuo was a little worried, grabbed the corner of Lu Mingfei's clothes and asked.

"Peace of mind." Lu Mingfei smiled and patted her hands, "Wait for me to come back."

……

……

"I'm sorry to bother you, but your bidding method is really exaggerated, and we have to make a small inquiry to ensure the safety of the auction."

In the finance room, the auctioneer's assistant and the financial manager surrounded Lu Mingfei and said politely, "The account you provided to us is only the account number of the Bank of Zurich, and you deposited $2 million in it as a deposit to participate in this auction."

"For most lots, the deposit is very convincing."

"But your bid for this round has been raised to 10 million, your deposit is no longer enough to pay, and given that you are participating in the auction for the first time, the credit is not enough, and if you cannot prove that you have the ability to pay, we may have to cancel your right to bid on this lot."

"Please be sure to help us take off your headphones and microphones for the time being, it is a matter of your belongings and our credit, and our conversations need to be kept confidential." The financial manager is persuasive.

Lu Mingfei obediently took off his headphones and microphone.

"There have been cases where some customers have placed some new faces in the venue to help raise the price, but they can't actually pay, which affects the fairness of the auction."

The financial manager stared at Lu Mingfei's eyes, showing a smile that seemed innocent, but he didn't know whether it was mockery or arrogance, as if he had caught the flaw in the dirt bun in front of him.

"I didn't say I only deposited money in the Bank of Zurich." Lu Mingfei shrugged indifferently.

"Really?" The financial manager waved his hand, and the assistant brought over a silver suitcase, which he opened and placed in front of Lu Mingfei, "Please enter your other bank accounts so that we can check the funds."

"How much money do you want to see?" Lu Mingfei asked nonchalantly.

The financial manager was stunned, and then put on that smile again, "Your previous offer was 10 million, right?" Then please provide us with a bank account of at least 100 million yuan for us to check."

"100 million?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand impatiently, "This is too little, it doesn't fit the requirements of your Sotheby Auction House."

"That's it, I'll tell you a number," Lu Mingfei stared into the financial manager's eyes and read out word by word.

"One, hundred, billion."

The financial manager couldn't help but avoid his gaze, and his childlike hole turned into a ...... in an instant Melt the color of gold!

The dark golden boy hole was flowing with scorching molten molten slurry, dozens or even hundreds of times more brilliant than the golden children of other guests!

"Wait a minute." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and temporarily put away the shocking golden boy.

He took out his little devil brand iPhone, opened the address book, and dialed the number of "Sister You Enxi".

After two rings, the phone was connected, and a woman's lazy voice came, "What are you doing? It's disturbing me watching the show."

It is also accompanied by the sound of Kacha Kacha chewing potato chips.

"Sister Enxi, give me a bank account of 10 billion now." Lu Mingfei's voice was low.

"Now?" Su Enxi was stunned for a moment, "My money is scattered and deposited, and it may take a few minutes to transfer it to one account."

"Let's take a few minutes, then." Lu Mingfei said, as if the king was ordering.

"I see." Su Enxi hung up the phone.

Lu Mingfei tilted his head and took a deep breath, the kind of deep breath as if he wanted to suck the whole world into his lungs, and then he exhaled softly.

The financial manager is afraid to come out.

A minute later, Lu Mingfei received a text message on his mobile phone with the password for the Swiss bank's account.

"See for yourself

。」 Lu Mingfei threw his phone to the finance manager.

"Yes, sir." The finance manager typed tremblingly and even mistyped a few numbers because he was too nervous.

When a series of "zeros" were displayed on the screen, the financial manager's jaw seemed to fall to the ground.

"Can I make a bid now?" Lu Ming asked non-contemptuously.

"Yes! Absolutely!" The financial manager was excited, and hurriedly bowed to Lu Mingfei, "Please forgive me for my previous faux pas, Mr. Lu!"

"Forget it." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, turned around and walked out of the financial room.

Pushing open the door, Lu Mingfei said in a voice that could be heard by the whole audience, "From now on, no matter what price Ms. No. 88 quotes, I will be 100 million higher than her."

There was a deathly silence.

Whether it is Lu Mingfei's scorching golden boy who is even very dazzling, or the "100 million" that he wrote lightly.
