In a high-end club in downtown Los Angeles, Tang Qian followed Karlie Kloss into the lobby.

The security here is quite tight, and it does look like there are a lot of valuables. In addition to verifying the invitation letter, you also need to verify the SSN. However, Tang Qian is very curious how Karlie Kloss got the invitation letter from this place.

. Although she signed a contract with Victoria's Secret and started taking photos and photos at a very young age, her annual income now is only tens of millions of dollars. In addition, the consumption of supermodels is also high, so she is far from her peak in the future.

The annual income is 5 million U.S. dollars, which is a big gap. At this level, compared to ordinary Americans, she is certainly rich, but compared with the real rich people, she is not worth mentioning.

According to data from the U.S. Federal Census Bureau, the average income of a family in the United States in 2013 was US$53,657, which is equivalent to about 330,000 to 340,000 yuan. Among them, the state with the highest income is not California, but Maryland. Their annual family income

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 this is the annual pre-tax income of a family, not the annual pre-tax income of a person, so

In comparison, Karlie Kloss, who was born in the 1990s, can definitely be considered a successful woman. After all, she is a person who has to pay the "rich tax". One person's earning power has exceeded that of 10 to 20 family units.

But in Tang Qian's eyes, she is very "ordinary", because Tang Qian himself is now a rich man with an annual income of millions or even tens of millions of dollars. With the newly signed AND1 fat contract, he suddenly became a wealthy man.

A young and wealthy representative. Compared to Karlie Kloss, he is the real "rich man". And the scale of tonight's event is obviously not a small auction, so Tang Qian is very suspicious of her

How did you get the invitation here?

Of course Karlie Kloss would not tell Tang Qian that this was a gift from one of her suitors. She originally felt that she would never go, but unexpectedly this small invitation came in handy!

In this way, she really wanted to thank this suitor. Unfortunately, he was ill today and could not come to the scene.

Karlie Kloss did a great job of borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha.

Compared with other Taylors, Sofia, Sestin, etc., she is actually considered a "poor class", so she works much harder, and models, whether they are supermodels or not, are all youthful fans. Even now,

She earns a lot of money, but when she gets older in the future, she will be eliminated by the industry and become "leftovers" and "no one cares about". This also makes Karlie Kloss have a lot of trouble compared to the previous ones.

A little more thought and insight.

She knows very well what she wants, so after setting her goal, she will never be like Taylor, who wants face and has the baggage of an idol. This is also one of her major advantages that she considers herself.

It's her first choice to do what she likes.

People always have things they like and prefer, so she found an entry point in basketball.

The limelight and performance on the 29th last night made Karlie Kloss instantly determined.

Therefore, just do it, and a series of combat strategies were formed.

While waiting in the lobby, Karlie Kloss seized the opportunity to chat with Tang Qian. Due to the reasons of taking photos all over the world, her knowledge and knowledge also made Tang Qian not feel bored. Furthermore, because of the implicit and deliberate approval of praise,

, which made the latter feel more and more that chatting with Karlie Kloss was a pleasant and interesting thing.

Okay, it is indeed useful. It seems that I did not take "such an expensive course" in vain.

Karlie Kloss is definitely the kind of person who takes action. She wants to get things and her desire is much stronger than Taylor Swift.

This is determined by the growth environment and living environment.

Not long after, the auction officially began. Tang Qian was not interested in any cultural relics or monuments, because the purpose of his visit was for the so-called "most expensive basketball shoes." By the time he got to the fifth item,

Karlie Kloss pushed Tang Qian's arm and said, "Hot, that's it, the legendary most expensive basketball shoe."

Is it?

Hearing this, Tang Qian became energetic. He sat up straight and wanted to be the first to see the true appearance of the sneakers.

Seeing Tang Qian's expression and movements, Karlie Klaus felt even more certain in her heart.

The Oriental man next to me really loves basketball. He is not some NBA player who only plays to make money.

Such pure thoughts, he is indeed the man that Taylor and I have fallen in love with, he is different!

At the same time, Karlie Kloss secretly made up her mind.

This was also one of the reasons why she brought Tang Qian here today.

The auctioneer was very professional in creating suspense, but the effect was not good, because most people seemed to have received the news, and they had no interest in the so-called "basketball shoes". This made the auctioneer very knowledgeable, and he simply ended the exaggeration.

, directly opened the small box under him and said: "Nike.MAG, a future sneaker that has never been publicly sold on the market. A regular model was produced in 2011 with a price tag of US$3,800. However, because the quantity was too small, the price quickly skyrocketed.

The price has reached more than 8,000 US dollars. Today’s model is a limited edition in 2013. It has been completely redesigned and incorporates the latest black technology HyperAdapt2.0 fully automatic induction shrink strap technology. As long as you put your feet in, it will

It can be automatically adjusted and strapped according to your foot shape and size. The shoe type is a high-top ankle support shoe with the laser signature of Nike boss, Michael Jordan. Only 29 pairs are produced in the world, with the lowest price of 10,000 US dollars, each time

The bid increase is no less than 1k US dollars, ladies and gentlemen, you can start bidding."

Is it actually the Nike.MAG series? Or is it this year’s black technology limited edition?

Tang Qian used to like collecting basketball shoes and basketball equipment, but due to financial problems, he collected small items that were not very valuable. Now that the economic conditions have improved and his family conditions are better, he can also do what he wants to do.

thing.

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

After a brief thought, he was ready to put it in his pocket.

I can still afford to spend tens of thousands of dollars.

But before Tang Qian had time to bid, a crisp voice appeared next to him and said: "1W1k."

After Tang Qian was stunned for a moment, he suddenly said: "Miss Claus, you..."

"Hang, this is my repayment gift to you. You can't refuse it, otherwise it would be too ungentlemanly~" Karlie Kloss smiled slightly, then turned her head and prepared to continue bidding. Although most people were not interested in this.

There was not much interest in a pair of basketball shoes, but there were still people who wanted them, so it didn’t take long for someone to make an offer, saying: “1W2k.”

"1W4k." Carly Klass also raised the sign and said.

The price went up very quickly, and there were still many wealthy people present. Therefore, after only 10 minutes, the bidding amount for this pair of basketball shoes became a full 90,000 US dollars. This made Tang Qian frown a little and said: "K

Miss Rouse, why don't you forget it? I think this price is a bit high. If you keep bidding, the price will definitely be higher." Unexpectedly, Karlie Kloss was unmoved and said: "It's hot, this is hot.

The last time a pair of shoes was auctioned in London, the price exceeded 100,000 U.S. dollars. What’s more, this is the United States, the kingdom of basketball. My price range is far higher than this, so don’t worry.”

After another 10 minutes, Karlie Kloss also gradually frowned, because the bidding price was slowly approaching 200,000 U.S. dollars. Karlie Kloss’s psychological limit was 200,000 U.S. dollars. She originally thought that a pair of basketball shoes

, not so many people would like it, it seems she still "disdained" it.

After Karlie Kloss quoted a price of 18,000,000 US dollars, one person obviously didn’t want to play with her anymore, so he immediately raised the price by nearly 2,000,000 US dollars and said: “200,000 US dollars.”

"Forget it, Miss Klaus, there is no need to go with..." Hearing Tang Qian next to her say this, Karlie Klaus became more determined to increase the price and said: "21W." Because of the lack of this pair of sneakers,

She will not be able to make her next move or plan.

For this rare opportunity today, Karlie Kloss, you can’t lose to Taylor.

She has accumulated nearly 1 million US dollars over the years. For her own "happiness", Karlie Kloss decided to risk everything.

No matter what, get this pair of basketball shoes.

When people are excited and their blood rushes to their brains, they can do many incredible things. For example, Karlie Kloss is on this edge right now. When the price exceeds 30W, the bidder opposite also seems impatient.

He got up, and after he reported the new price, he turned his head to see who the bidder No. 76 was.

Why do you deliberately "argue" with yourself?

Hmm? She's a woman? She looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before.

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

This person, this figure is... that damn Oriental guy!!!

Shi.t! No wonder! If you are a professional basketball player, it is not surprising that you want this pair of sneakers!

But, do you think that labor and capital will make you happy? What a beautiful thought!

It’s time to collect a wave of interest for that day’s revenge!

See how I humiliate you!

"Mr. No. 13, the bid... the bid was 40,000 US dollars, which increased by 10,000 US dollars in one breath! Is there any higher price?" The auctioneer was a little excited, because as auctioneers, they calculated based on the "premium degree" of the auction items.

Commission. In other words, if you auction an item with a standard bidding price of 1,000W, you will not get as much commission as if you auction an item with a premium of 10W.

Don't think that the auctioneer can earn as much as the minimum price is exceeded. Just like the oil painting whose name Tang Qian couldn't understand, the starting price was 500,000 U.S. dollars, and the final bid was 1.2 million U.S. dollars. It looked good, but it was just

It only satisfies the seller. What about the organizer? The commission line they give to the auctioneer is 1.5 million U.S. dollars, so before exceeding this commission line, the auctioneer will not get a dime. If only the basic labor fee is counted

, I'm afraid he is similar to the waiters outside, there is not much difference.

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 150,000 US dollars. For the excess, the commission amount will be calculated based on approximately 5:1. This is why the auctioneer is so happy now.

.

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

In the world's largest capital country, who doesn't like those green things? With money, in the United States, you have everything. This is probably the most popular motto of the American emperor. So as the premium increases,

As the auctioneer got higher and higher, he became more and more agitated and excited.

It has nothing to do with him how much money he can take.

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

40W? Isn’t this guy crazy? Even if it is a limited edition MAG, it doesn’t cost so much money? Could it be that he has met a collector who is not short of money? Karlie Kloss thought about it for a while

, gritted his teeth and continued to follow the price.

"Bidder No. 76 bids 41W! Is there any higher price?" he shouted, but the auctioneer's eyes were fixed on the seat area of ​​No. 13. When he saw No. 13 continuing to bid without hesitation

, the auctioneer's voice became passionate again, saying: "The bidder No. 13 bids 51W! Is there anything higher?"
To be continued...
