Chapter 387 - Imperial Green
Xu Tianlin became interested, "Is it really as good as you say?"
You Yun said smilingly, "In front of Young Master Xu, how dare I tell lies, it is naturally a thousand percent true."
"If it's really as good as you say, then it's naturally mine, and it will naturally be a beautiful thing to give to a beautiful woman when the time comes."
Xu Tianlin's eyes kept wandering over Qin Yun's body, expressing his great interest in her.
Jiang Hao coldly hummed, "I have just said that if she wants it, I will naturally buy it for her, I can still afford to pay this small amount of money."
"Let's see then, I hope you can still laugh then, there were many people who once competed with me for financial power, but they all disappeared later."
"Why have they all disappeared." Someone at his side asked in time.
"Naturally, they had no trousers left and had no face left to meet people."
The people around them laughed.
You Yun alone was smiling and laughing, his gaze constantly wandering over Jiang Hao and Xu Tianlin.
"Jiang Hao, just cut the crap, that's the Xu family's son, you're no match for him, let's just sit here for a while and then go back, you mustn't cause any more trouble." Qin Yun said worriedly.
She was totally thinking of Jiang Hao, the Xu family had unimaginable energy in Chujiang, offending them could be said to be difficult to get around in Chujiang.
The crowd in the venue fell silent as the lights gradually dimmed and a tall woman in a black suit appeared on the auction stage.
The hostess had a rather hot figure, with flaming red lips and big waves casually draped behind her, giving her a sultry and wild aesthetic.
"Welcome everyone to this auction, I now announce that the auction has officially begun!"
At the beginning of an auction, there were always some inconsequential lots to pad the scene, and at first the atmosphere was more relaxed, with the crowd still talking and laughing.
Jiang Hao had never been interested in such auctions, as he had no money and had no access to them, and now that he had money, he was not in the habit of spending it.
Xu Tianlin's interest was quite high, and the first few pieces of the collection were already bid on frequently, perhaps for the sake of showing off his strength in front of Jiang Hao and Qin Yun, not even considering the price factor.
"Jiang Hao, let's just go. There's no point in staying here. "
Qin Yun pulled Jiang Hao and was about to leave, she wasn't too used to the atmosphere here either and wanted to leave.
Jiang Hao nodded his head in agreement, he was indeed a bit bored too.
"Don't go, the main event is coming soon, you'll have lifelong regrets if you miss this."
As soon as You Yun saw that Jiang Hao wanted to leave, he immediately said.
"What, you can't hold out anymore and want to run away? Without my consent, you're not going anywhere today! Unless you admit that you are my defeated enemy, I can let you go today!" Xu Tianlin said with a leathery smile.
Jiang Hao said calmly, "I admit that I'm your defeated enemy, can we go now?"
This choked Xu Tianlin, he had never seen such a person before, and with a twist of thought, he said with a heated smile, "You can leave, but she has to stay."
He reached out his hand and pointed at Qin Yun.
Qin Yun subconsciously shrank back and involuntarily leaned towards Jiang Hao.
"Impossible, if we're going to leave it's the two of us together, I won't let Qin Yun stay here." Jiang Hao spoke with conviction.
"When did the defeated underlings become so talkative, none of them will be able to escape if they annoy Laozi."
Jiang Hao smiled faintly and pulled Qin Yun back to sit down again.
"Let's not go, I'm going to give you a gift today, don't say a word, I listen to you at all other times, but this time, you'll listen to me."
Jiang Hao spoke so firmly that a sense of security of being protected rose in Qin Yun's heart instead.
"Fight with me? I'll let you die without even knowing how!" A flash of ferocity flashed across Xu Tianlin's face.
"It's finally time for the most exciting moment, I'm sure everyone has been waiting for a long time!"
The hostess who had just started to appear re-entered the stage and used an extremely excited tone, instantly bringing the atmosphere of the room to its peak.
"This next item in the auction can be said to be quite extraordinary, even if we look at the whole world, this is a top-notch item, well, I won't say much more, let's all take a look."
A few staff members in black suits, very seriously, placed a tightly wrapped box in the very centre of the auction stage.
The hostess reached out and lifted the red cloth covering it!
A dazzling light erupted from the middle, and the true face of the hut was slowly revealed to the crowd.
An imperial green jade necklace with an emerald green glow!
"The world's finest imperial green jadeite is now presented to you. As we all know, the finest imperial green jadeite is the size of a fingernail and worth ten thousand taels of gold.
The hostess' voice was very provocative, pushing the atmosphere to its peak.
"Imperial green jadeite! I've never seen such a big piece in all my life, I've never seen such a big piece before.
"It's so big and of such good quality, without any flaws, it's a gift from God! It's worth a lifetime to see it!"
Xu Tianlin's eyes were also straightened, he had seen so many treasures, but they were no match for this imperial green jade necklace in front of him.
"This necklace, I want it!"
He made an imperative sound.
"Qin Yun, see, the one on the stage is the gift I'm giving you today!" Jiang Hao said very calmly.
"Alright Jiang Hao, you're going crazy again, I definitely like this kind of treasure, only that it's too expensive and destined to be out of our reach, with your words, I'm already happy."
"You don't need to think about any other questions, I'll just ask you one thing, do you like this?"
Qin Yun pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I do like it, who wouldn't."
"It's enough if you like it, no need to say anything else, just leave the rest to me."
The hostess' voice rang out again, "I'm sure everyone is already fist pumping and eager to try, so I won't say any more nonsense. One last word."
"Imperial green jade necklace, reserve price, five million dollars, each increase no less than five hundred thousand dollars, bid!"
"Now begins!"
"Five million!"
As soon as the words were spoken, a majestic voice immediately rang out.
Chapter 388 - The Auction
The sky-high price of five million dollars, although it deterred many people, still could not stop the truly wealthy.
Such a superb imperial green was worthy of such a price.
"Boss Zhao, I didn't expect you to still be interested in imperial green."
Some people recognised the middle-aged man who had just made the offer and joked about it.
"Zhao Zhigang? With those few dimes in his pocket, he still dares to pop in here, he really doesn't know the sky is the limit."
Xu Tianlin knew Zhao Zhigang, who had once worked with the Xu family, and was not at all on the same level of existence. In Xu Tianlin's mind, Zhao Zhigang was just a dog who relied on the Xu family for food.
Zhao Zhigang looked smug when he was recognised, this was the feeling he wanted, if no one knew he had spent millions, it would have the same effect as if he hadn't.
"This is the first time I've seen an imperial green of this colour, everyone, so I'm sorry." Zhao Zhigang looked around in a circle, his expression full of arrogance.
"Six million!"
Although the price of five million was very high, all those present were wealthy people with more than a hundred million dollars, and immediately after the five million figure was quoted, someone else added to the six million.
Zhao Zhigang's face turned blue, he seemed to have been overjoyed just now.
"Six and a half million!"
"Seven million!"
The quotations rose and fell, no one wanted to give up.
On the contrary, Jiang Hao and Xu Tianlin had not moved just now.
"Let them bounce around for a while, I'll give them the ultimate blow at the end and show them what real strength means."
Xu Tianlin's eyes shone with confidence, as long as it was something he wanted, he had never failed, and this time would naturally be no exception.
Jiang Hao, on the other hand, slapped his head, a bit of an afterthought.
"How could I have forgotten the most important thing when I was on top of it just now!"
Wasn't the reason he had attended this banquet to find a few suitable pieces of jewellery for Xue Yu Ning!
"I almost delayed the big event, but just now, my brain was hot and my words had all been promised out, this imperial green jadeite is definitely taken, but what should I do on Qin Yun's side."
Jiang Hao carefully glanced at Qin Yun, who had little reaction on her face and only wanted to hurry up and get out of here.
Seeing that Jiang Hao was looking at himself, Qin Yun still said worriedly, "Jiang Hao, let's leave here quietly, this kind of place is not for us, why suffer here."
Qin Yun was thinking of Jiang Hao, she knew that Jiang Hao's words just now were very strong, but Qin Yun naturally knew his family's wealth, not to mention comparing with Xu Tianlin, the son of the Xu family, any rich man present could easily crush him.
Jiang Hao did all this for himself. Qin Yun was slightly touched in her heart and made up her mind that she would not let Jiang Hao continue to do stupid things for herself.
"Why are you still leaving? Didn't I say that everything is at my disposal now?"
Qin Yun said, "Jiang Hao, I know you are doing it for my own good, I appreciate your kindness, but can you not continue to do stupid things, he is the young master of the Xu family, how can you fight him, I know I am going too far, but this is real life!"
Looking at Qin Yun's righteous look, Jiang Hao wanted to laugh a little, but forced himself to hold it back.
Qin Yun felt that what she was saying was the right thing to say, but she didn't know that the real truth in the real world was that I was the son of Shen Haoting, the richest overseas Chinese, and that there was now two billion RMB lying quietly in my bank account.
"Don't worry, I know the score, let's just watch quietly next, we'll leave when it's over, how about that?" Jiang Hao said, still very calmly.
Qin Yun could only nod her head in agreement.
On the other hand, the auction for the imperial green jade necklace had also come to a fever pitch, and almost all the powerful people in the room were personally in the ring, and the fight was quite fierce.
The auction price also went up to the astronomical figure of 10 million!
10 million was like a watershed, and all the voices that had been sparsely heard a moment ago suddenly went silent.
To take $10 million to buy a piece of jewellery, how trenchant does one have to be to do such a thing?
Many people in the room could have come up with $10 million, but if they spent $10 million just to buy a piece of jewellery, I'm afraid the people back at the board would have to come back with knives to chop themselves up.
"Ten million now, it's up to ten million, so is there a higher figure than ten million?" There was a touch of excitement in the hostess's voice.
Because if it could really be sold for ten million, the commission for this auction of their own would naturally be raised by a large margin.
Xu Tianlin had a bland smile on his face, as if everything was under his control, because he was the one who shouted for the final 10 million.
Ten million was not a small figure, even for him there was a lot of pressure, but the words had already been spoken, so he had to get his hands on it.
"Oh, I thought I had some real skills, but I'm just a poor pussy who's pretending, it's simply unbearable." Xu Tianlin revealed a disdainful smile.
"Xu Da Shao is indeed still Xu Da Shao, truly an extraordinary bid, if no one continues to bid, then, ten million, for the first time!"
The hostess' voice trembled slightly as she shouted, clearly excited. If it was really sold, it would set a new record for her own hammer fall!
"Ten million, for the second time!"
The whole room was silent to the point where everyone was holding their breath, waiting for the sound of the hammer to ring out.
"Ten million and one piece!"
A faint voice suddenly sounded out, breaking the quiet atmosphere in the room suddenly.
Everyone was in an uproar, not expecting that someone would jump out and offer a price higher than 10 million at such a moment!
It was a shock to the crowd!
All eyes converged on the person who had made the noise.
Jiang Hao met the crowd's gaze openly, he was the one who had just shouted.
It was only a dollar more than 10 million.
"Who's this kid, how come I've never seen him before, so young?"
"I've seen all the heirs of first-class families in Chujiang, I've never seen this guy before, is he not from Chujiang? Find out more about him right away."
"Maybe he's the son of one of the big families in Hai Du, how dare he compete with Xu in Chu Jiang?
The hammer in the hostess's hand almost fell because of inertia, and the scene suddenly changed dramatically, but her first-class professionalism still allowed her to speak at once: "Ten million and one piece, a gentleman has bid a higher price, it seems that this auction is getting more and more interesting now."
As she spoke, the hostess' big watery eyes kept gazing at Jiang Hao, such a young gent, if she could be taken in by him, she would be soaring to great heights.
