Chapter 179: The Auction Begins
Chapter 179 The auction begins
At noon, the boss Qin Lexi treated Chen Jiang to a meal. In the afternoon, a group of people returned to the club and started playing black games. Xu Min did not participate and Chen Jiang took her place.
After playing all afternoon, a group of people went home. Although they had a high time, Fang Mutian was a little helpless. He originally wanted to do a day's work and earn some points, but he didn't expect that the plan was ruined.
After calling home, Fang Mutian had something to eat outside and then rushed to the Emperor Entertainment Club. Thinking of the 'Auction of the Century' to be held tonight, his depressed mood suddenly disappeared.
After a while, Fang Mutian came to the emperor.
Seeing Frog leading Fang Mutian there, Lei Yaoyang said with a smile: "Mu Tian, you're here, sit down quickly."
"Okay, Uncle Lei." Fang Mutian nodded. After sitting down, he said gratefully: "Uncle Lei, thank you for giving me this opportunity."
Lei Yaoyang waved his hand and said: "It's not that big of a deal. It doesn't matter if you want to go see it. Young people should go out and see it more. Unlike this kid, let him go and he doesn't want to go."
Frog smiled and said: "In that kind of situation, even though everyone is well-dressed, everyone is talking nonsense, without a word of truth, and they are hypocritical. I feel unhappy when I hear it. Out of sight, out of mind, I don't care if I don't remove it.
quiet."
Fang Mutian was stunned and couldn't help but nodded. Froggy said it right. In fact, in this world, everyone really doesn't tell the truth much, especially those who have status and face. Everyone is basically a swindler.
Yang Wei, the heart and the mouth are not in agreement.
But in order to live and survive in this society, everyone must learn to tell two parts truth and eight parts lies. At that level, wanting to have a close friend is simply a delusion.
Lei Yaoyang smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You kid, I really don't know what to say about you. This world is like this. In the face of interests, many things are nothing. Even family affection, I really don't like you.
How can you fool around even if you know this? Boy, you should learn something. Otherwise, I advise you to turn back quickly. This road is not so easy. If you look like this, you don't know how you will die by then."
Frog curled his lips and said: "Daddy, you don't have to persuade me, I will never look back. It is my dream to take this path, and you can't kill my dream."
Frog knew what Lei Yaoyang said, but he was such an upright and kind-hearted person. He would say whatever he wanted and was not a scheming person.
Fang Mutian didn't interrupt, but just frowned. He agreed with Lei Yaoyang's words. The underworld is a dark road with no return. If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss and be shattered to pieces.
Seeing Frog's behavior, Lei Yaoyang just shook his head and said nothing. Afterwards, a few people chatted for a while, and then Fang Mutian and Lei Yaoyang took a car and rushed to the site of the 'Auction of the Century'.
Watching the car drive towards the suburbs, Fang Mutian asked Lei Yaoyang: "Uncle Lei, will the auction be held in the suburbs?"
Lei Yaoyang nodded and said: "Yes, at the 'Red Leaf Manor' in the suburbs, the people who are going there tonight are all people with backgrounds. Then I will introduce a few friends to you."
"Okay." Fang Mutian nodded.
While Fang Mutian and Lei Yaoyang were chatting, the car stopped in a parking lot outside a brightly lit manor.
"We're here, let's go down," Lei Yaoyang said.
Fang Mutian also got out of the car. As soon as he got out of the car, what came into view were rows of neatly arranged top-notch luxury cars. These luxury cars are enough to open an auto show. In addition, there are also racks of private helicopters.
The plane stopped on the other side.
"Damn, they really are all rich people, they even have planes coming." Fang Mutian sighed.
Moreover, around the manor, every three meters away, stood a man in black, staring at the surroundings with a highly concentrated expression. Fang Mutian found that these people were not simple, and most of them were about to enter the ranks of junior warriors.
.
Fang Mutian followed Lei Yaoyang to the entrance to the manor, and was immediately stopped. Lei Yaoyang quickly handed over a gold-plated invitation, and there was Lei Yaoyang's face on the invitation.
The person guarding the door scanned the invitation, carefully checked Lei Yaoyang's identity, and then conducted a full body search of the two of them. After finding no dangerous goods, they were allowed into the manor.
A cocktail party was being held on the broad lawn in the manor. People who knew each other were gathering together in twos and threes, talking and laughing, as if they were old friends they hadn't seen for a long time.
Lei Yaoyang smiled and said to Fang Mutian: "I have already seen Jiang Yun. Come on, let's go there."
Fang Mutian also saw Jiang Yun chatting with someone not far away. He nodded and followed Lei Yaoyang towards Jiang Yun.
At this time, Jiang Yun also saw Fang Mutian and the others. He said a few words of apology to the people around him, then came up to them and said with a smile: "Brother Lei, Mutian, you are here too."
"Uncle Jiang." Fang Mutian greeted with a smile.
Lei Yaoyang said: "Brother Jiang, I didn't expect you to come so early. I thought we arrived before you."
"I have just arrived. I was thinking before, Brother Lei, who will you bring today, but I didn't expect it to be Mutian." Jiang Yundao said.
Fang Mutian said with a smile: "I heard from Frog that there was such an auction tonight, so I wanted to come and take a look. I would like to thank Uncle Lei for giving me such an opportunity."
Lei Yaoyang waved his hand and said to Jiang Yun: "Brother Jiang, have you found out how many items will be auctioned tonight?"
Jiang Yun shook his head and said: "No, you also know the strength of the auctioneer. Before it is announced, no one should know the inside story. The auction items tonight were all transported in secret. Even the government does not know, but it should be
It won’t be less than before.”
Lei Yaoyang nodded: "Although I have never participated in the 'Auction of the Century' before, I have also heard that every time there are one hundred auction items, the organizer has set the auction in our
Huaxia, the number will definitely not be less than a hundred. I really don’t know who is behind this auction. He has such great ability. Every time the auction items are taken out, they are all rare cultural relics and antiques. Tonight is destined to be a
It’s an unforgettable night, I’m afraid many people are staring at this place.”
"Who says it's not? Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. We will find out when the auction starts. Let's go and have a drink and chat." Jiang Yun shook his head, and the other party, Mutian, said, "Let's go, Mutian, I will introduce a few people to you.
know."
"Okay, Uncle Jiang." Fang Mutian nodded.
The underground auction was held in Jingyang City, which inevitably disturbed the nerves of countless people. People from the government must be monitoring everything here.
Fang Mutian followed Jiang Yun and Lei Yaoyang, and listened to them introducing big figures to him from time to time. Fang Mutian was speechless when he heard the identities of those figures. They were either the chairman of the top 50 companies in China, or the top 500 companies in the world.
The boss made him feel dizzy.
Just now he also saw Ichiro Muto, Lux and others, as well as He Tianyao, the owner of Evernight City, and his son He Ye, but Lei Yaoyang and the others did not go up to say hello.
Fang Mutian always felt that he was considered a rich man, but today he finally understood what it meant to be a rich man. Compared with these people, he was nothing more than a scumbag.
"Damn it, I've decided. I want to become a truly rich man. I don't care about money." Seeing these rich people, Fang Mutian was a little shocked.
Just at this moment, a burst of clapping sounded. Hearing this sound, everyone who was talking stopped, and in an instant, the entire grassland became extremely quiet.
After everyone calmed down, a young foreign old man who looked like a butler stood on a high platform and said to everyone with a smile in English: "Everyone has been waiting for a long time. In ten minutes, the auction is about to start. Everyone, now
Come in."
Looking at the little old man, Fang Mutian couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was a master, an absolute master. He felt that in the hands of this old man, he might not be able to make a single move before he might be killed by the opponent.
Under the leadership of the little old man, everyone entered the manor. After entering the manor, Fang Mutian discovered that this auction was different from the auctions he usually saw on TV.
Instead of everyone sitting together in the hall and bidding on an auction item, everyone has a separate small room, and everyone participating in the auction bids in their own small room.
Jiang Yun said from the side: "The manor was not like this before. It was remodeled after the auction was chosen to be held here. This arrangement can keep the identity of the buyer confidential. You must know that every item auctioned is extremely precious.
It is inevitable that some people will have evil intentions towards him. Although no one dares to make mistakes here, if you leave here, it will be hard to say anything."
"Okay, let's separate here. After the auction is over, let's find a chance to talk again when we go back."
After separating from Jiang Yun, Fang Mutian and Lei Yaoyang came to a small room. In this room, behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, there was a sofa. Next to the sofa, there was a bidder. Sitting on the sofa, you could see through the glass
When you see the auction booth in the hall, if you like something, you can bid on the auction items through the bidder.
Regarding all this, Fang Mutian sighed very much. He was indeed a top predator. He could bring so many businessmen and powerful people together. Not just anyone or any force could do it.
"It is indeed the most mysterious and powerful auction in the world. It's really amazing." Lei Yaoyang sighed.
Fang Mutian nodded and said: "It's really not easy to do this. I really want to know who is controlling all this behind the scenes."
Lei Yaoyang shook his head and said: "Everyone thinks so. Many people, forces, and even some national governments have been involved in the past, but this force is like a deep pool, a bottomless pit. Investigating this force
People, I heard, don’t seem to get any good endings.”
"The forces behind this are too huge. There are still only a few people and several forces who know who is leading all this behind the scenes. It is too difficult to know who it is."
While Lei Yaoyang was expressing his sigh, the little old man who appeared before appeared again at the auction booth in the hall.
"Okay everyone, it is now nine o'clock in the evening Chinese time, and our auction will officially begin at this moment!" the little old man said.
Chapter completed!
