Various high-end cars parked at the door one after another, the red taillights flashed one after another, and the heavy doors opened. The first person to get out was a man wearing a black tuxedo or evening dress, a white embroidered shirt, and a metropolitan style.
The hair on the parted head is heavily smeared with hair oil, and the light can be seen.
Then the hand that stuck out from the car was wearing long white velvet gloves, and a silver watch was worn outside the gloves. The man held that hand and gently pulled out the slender modern girl wrapped in mink and veiled.
The heels of his shoes stepped on the ground, and his calves stretched out in a graceful arc.
White steam overflowed from the sewer outlet, and the figures of men and women walking arm in arm towards the opera house looked like...Chicago during the Golden Age in 1950.
Time seems to go back 60 years in an instant.
"Junior brother, I don't wear a watch, and I don't have so many decorations." Nono looked out the window, "Will it embarrass you?"
"How could it be?" Lu Mingfei said softly, "Senior sister is always the most dazzling."
A crowd appeared in front of the car, the car stopped slowly, and the greeting attendant came up and was about to open the door.
Lu Mingfei quickly stopped him, but opened the car door himself, stretched out an arm, "Senior sister."
Nuonuo laughed, and she took Lu Mingfei's arm and got out of the car.
"Mr. and Miss U, welcome to today's auction." The waiter bent down and saluted respectfully, "Please follow me."
Lu Mingfei thought the waiter's costume was a bit funny. He wore a white tuxedo, white gloves, silver cuffs, and a gold embroidered border on the brim of his hat. There was also a golden pocket watch chain pulled out of the pocket of his white jacket, which was retro and grand.
Etiquette is complicated and lengthy.
Chen Motong held Lu Mingfei's forearm tightly, and the waiter led them to the door and walked through the dimly lit, long passage. The scent of perfume floated in the space, and all Lu Mingfei saw was the strong backs of the men.
and the radiant skin on women’s shoulders.
"Don't look around." Nuonuo nudged his waist with her elbow.
"I really didn't look at it!" Lu Mingfei quickly looked away.
They stepped into the main hall of the Opera House, and the atmosphere of glitz swept from all directions.
The surrounding columns to the sky are like the ruins of the Parthenon in the Acropolis of Athens, but they are painted a gorgeous dark red, supporting the dome-shaped ceiling. One after another, giant crystal chandeliers cast all the shadows away.
Dispel.
The dome that is reflected in gold and the four walls are painted with the battle of "Twilight of the Gods", the wool carpet with green mandala pattern, and the seat number is marked with a brass nameplate on the red suede seat.
The curtain shook, and a man in a black tuxedo came out.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Sotheby's 2010 Summer Oriented Auction will start in five minutes. I am the auctioneer this time." The auctioneer paused, "Now, please close your eyes when it gets dark." p>
"Senior sister, we don't need to light the golden boy on fire." Lu Mingfei whispered to Nuonuo, "Every time I feel that those who try their best to light the golden boy and hold on until the end of the auction, who are exhausted in the end, really look like a fool.
Fool."
"It's the same thing when heroes meet." A low and cold voice came from the side, "After all, we are here for the things we like. We also spend money to have fun. We light up Golden Boy for a few hours, and we are always exhausted after it is over.
."
Lu Mingfei turned his head and saw a pair of golden boys next to him like bright lights. The owner of the pair of golden boys was a young man in his twenties.
"Romario Townsend, call me r and everyone can try it quickly."
"This is an extraordinary lot. All of us auctioneers were surprised when we saw it. It is very beautiful and is the pinnacle of handicrafts..." The auctioneer paused.
Lu Mingfei guessed that he would definitely say "but" next, and sure enough, the auctioneer changed the subject.
"But unfortunately, we can't check its inheritance process, and we don't know its age, so we can't determine a suitable starting price for it. With the permission of the seller, this is our rare zero starting price auction.
, the bid increase amount can be one dollar each time." The auctioneer raised a finger.
The atmosphere in the venue was a little turbulent. This was a new thing. The starting price of zero and the increase of one dollar each time were very exciting
There is no way to guess about this thing, and my curiosity becomes even more intense.
The auctioneer was very satisfied with the atmosphere at the scene. This was clever marketing. They had already attracted attention in the first step. He slowly opened the lid of the box and said, "Mythical weapons...alchemy sword combination!"
A sharp black-gold light flowed along the gap in the open lid of the box, and Lu Mingfei felt seven different heartbeats coming from inside, calling excitedly to him.
"Bronze Purgatory·Seven Deadly Sins"!
"Your mission today is to win it at all costs," Anger's voice came from the headset, "Just bid as hard as you can, since the school board has plenty of money anyway."
Lu Mingfei was stunned, there is room for profit!
His wishful thinking was ringing in his mind. The Seven Deadly Sins must have been fished out by Sister Mai and Sister Enxi, so the money would definitely come into their hands, and their money was Lu Mingze's money, and Lu Mingze's
My brother, my brother’s money belongs to my brother...
So! Round it off! Mr. Lu’s vote netted the old guys on the school board 100 million!
Lu Mingfei felt confident that with this 100 million, he would be able to get rid of the life of being supported by his senior sister, and then he would become rich and serve as e, marry his senior sister, and support her as his guest!
"Old man, hurry up and give me gold coins!" Lu Mingfei couldn't help but said out loud.
"What explosive gold coins?" Nono asked a little strangely.
"It's okay, it's okay." Lu Mingfei quickly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and looked seriously at the stage.
"Is it an imitation? No matter how well-preserved it is, there won't be any flaws at all, right?" Someone at the VIP table questioned, "It looks like a Swiss Army Knife manufactured this year!"
"Sorry, we said it ourselves and we can't confirm its age and inheritance, so it's just based on your interest. In short, it is a good set of swords. If you buy it back, it can at least be used as a kitchen knife." The auctioneer shrugged and came. A joke blocked the question.

"Okay, $1!" Someone raised a sign.
"$2!" Someone immediately followed up, and the guests all smiled generously. For these mixed breeds with a net worth of millions, this special bidding method is like a game.
"$3!"
The price rose one after another, and the auctioneer looked a little embarrassed. This was the guests teasing him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, even buying a set of Damascus steel kitchen knives costs several hundred dollars," the auctioneer spread his hands with a helpless smile, "Can we come up with some competitive prices?"
"Okay, 200,000."
The moment this quotation came out from the box on the right, everyone in the audience was attracted to it.
In addition to the high jump price, there is also that special voice. No one would have thought that a female voice could be so indifferent and careless, but it is so charming that it makes people's thoughts wander.
Under the dark red velvet curtain of the box, a girl wearing a golden embroidered robe sat, holding the "88" number plate in her white-gloved hand.
The golden veil covered her entire face, and what was exposed was only her graceful eyes with a wisp of crimson at the corners, her high bun, and her long dark hair with bright red ropes. .
She sat there quietly, with her eyes lowered. She looked young, but full of majesty, like a queen attending this grand event.
"Sister Mai is ridiculous!" Lu Mingfei held up the sign with great courage, "I'll give you 10 million!"
Everyone present was silent for a few seconds, and then collectively took a breath and turned to look at this unattractive young man.
"He didn't even light up Golden Boy!" someone whispered to his companion.
"You can't be a country bumpkin from somewhere!"
"It's impossible. Look at the woman holding his hand. How could such a dazzling woman hold the hand of a bumpkin?"
Doubts and exclamations came one after another.
The assistant quickly stepped onto the stage and whispered a few words into the auctioneer's ear. The auctioneer looked solemn and nodded slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your interest in this lot, but we must prevent inflated prices
As a result, the final auction was successful but the payment could not be made, so we had to ask Mr. U on the 17th to go to the financial room with us. During this period, we suspended the auction." The auctioneer bowed slightly.
"Junior brother, will everything be okay?" Nuonuo was a little worried and asked, grabbing the corner of Lu Mingfei's clothes.
"Don't worry." Lu Mingfei smiled and patted her hand, "Wait until I come back."
……
……
"I'm very sorry to disturb you, but your bidding method is really too exaggerated. We have to make a small inquiry to ensure the safety of the auction."
In the financial room, the auctioneer's assistant and financial manager surrounded Lu Mingfei, politely saying, "The account you provided us is only a Zurich bank account, and you deposited 2 million US dollars in it to participate in this auction.
margin."
"For most lots, the deposit is very convincing."
"But your bid for this round has been increased to 10 million, and your deposit is no longer enough to pay. Since it is your first time to participate in the auction, your credit is not enough. If you cannot prove that you have the ability to pay, we may have to cancel
Your right to bid on this lot."
"Please help us by temporarily taking off your headphones and microphone. It is related to the safety of your property and our credit. The conversation between us needs to be kept confidential." The financial manager was kind and gentle.
Lu Mingfei obediently took off his headphones and microphone.
"This has happened before. Some customers arranged some new faces to help raise the price, but they actually had no ability to pay, which affected the fairness of the auction."
The financial manager stared into Lu Mingfei's eyes and smiled with a smile that seemed harmless, but it contained a hint of ridicule or arrogance, as if he had caught the flaw of the bumpkin in front of him.
"I didn't say I only deposited money in Zurich banks." Lu Mingfei shrugged indifferently.
"Really?" The financial manager waved his hand, and the assistant brought over a silver suitcase. He opened it and placed it in front of Lu Mingfei, "Please enter your other bank accounts so that we can check the funds."
"How much do you want to see?" Lu Mingfei asked casually.
The financial manager was startled, then put on his smile again, "Is your previous quotation correct for 10 million? Then please provide us with a bank account with at least 100 million for verification."
"One hundred million?" Lu Mingfei waved his hand impatiently, "That's too little, and it doesn't meet the standards of your Sotheby's auction house."
"Okay, let me tell you a number," Lu Mingfei stared into the financial manager's eyes and read it out word by word.
"One, one hundred, billion."
The financial manager couldn't help but avoid his gaze. In an instant, his face turned into...the color of molten gold!
The dark golden boy's hole is filled with hot lava, which is dozens or even hundreds of times more radiant than other guests' golden boys!
"Wait a moment." Lu Mingfei lowered his eyes and temporarily put away those shocking golden eyes.
He took out the Little Devil iPhone, opened the address book, and dialed the number of "your sister Enxi".
After the phone rang twice, the phone was connected, and a woman's lazy voice came, "What are you doing? You're disturbing me from watching the show."
It is also accompanied by the sound of Katcha Katcha chewing potato chips.
"Sister Enxi, give me a bank account worth 10 billion now." Lu Mingfei's voice was low.
"Now?" Su Enxi was stunned for a moment, "My money is stored separately, and it may take a few minutes to transfer it to an account."
"Then take a few minutes." Lu Mingfei said, like a king giving an order.
"I understand." Su Enxi hung up the phone.
Lu Mingfei raised his head and took a deep breath. The deep breath seemed to suck the whole world into his lungs, and then he exhaled gently.
The financial manager is too shy to express his anger.
A minute later, Lu Mingfei received a text message on his mobile phone, which contained the password for his Swiss bank account.
"See for yourself
"Lu Mingfei threw the phone to the financial manager.
"Yes, sir." The financial manager typed tremblingly, and even entered a few wrong numbers because he was too nervous.
When a series of "0"s were displayed on the screen, the financial manager's jaw seemed to fall to the ground.
"Can I bid now?" Lu Ming asked nonchalantly.
"Yes! Of course I can!" The financial manager was excited and quickly bowed to Lu Mingfei, "Please forgive me for my previous rudeness, Mr. Lu!"
"Forget it." Lu Mingfei waved his hand, turned 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 bids, I will be 100 million higher than her."
The whole place was deathly silent.
Whether it's Lu Mingfei's golden boy's eyes that are so hot and even dazzling, or the "one hundred million" he writes lightly.
