"Mr. Lu Yuan, your charity fund has been completed and officially established. I have sent the projects in it, including some details of the funds, to your mailbox by email..."
"Next, let me briefly talk about some of the processes of this auction..."
"The auction model is based on the world's largest online shopping website Eby. The auction personnel are determined through registration and screening. They are mainly deans of universities and some of the artistic class, nobles, and business elite tycoons in society.
Lord, among them, there are also aristocrats from various countries..."
"This auction will last for three days. The candidates for the dinner will be decided within three days. At the same time, we will give them one month to prepare. Well, no media will be allowed to join the entire process of the dinner. In my opinion,
Coming here not only protects the personal interests of the dinner recipients, but also does not affect your enjoyment of the meal. After all, considering that you may have something professional to say..."
"I will send you the auction process by email. If you think it is okay, starting from tomorrow, the eby shopping website will officially launch a strategy page and start the auction stage as planned..."
"..."
The morning of September 26th.
When the first ray of morning sun shone on this land, Lu Yuan received a call from Bruce in Spain.
Since Brando left, the Spanish Brando Charitable Fund Project has been run by Bruce, and it seems to be running quite well. Lu Yuan also entrusted Bruce with help throughout the dinner auction project.
After answering the phone, Lu Yuan opened his personal email and clicked on the email sent by Bruce.
Bruce carefully wrote down some charity fund matters, including the arrangements for the auction process, in the form of a form. In addition, he also sent a series of inquiries in the form of a form.
After reading the form, Lu Yuan responded to Bruce very seriously with an OK.
Bruce was indeed very familiar with handling these things. Lu Yuan didn't even have to worry about anything, he just nodded in agreement.
Lu Yuan was very relieved about Bruce.
After responding to Bruce, Lu Yuan clicked on eby, the world's largest transaction and shopping website.
After looking at the dazzling array of shopping systems and the somewhat uncomfortable layout, Lu Yuan felt inexplicably uninterested.
In fact, he is more accustomed to using certain treasures and certain things from the original world, but the trick in this world is that there are no certain treasures or certain things...
Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then changed a domain name and logged into Huaxia's network.
He remembered that China in this world seemed to have a website similar to a certain treasure, called Haogou.com.
Online trading platforms have gradually matured internationally, but they are still an emerging industry in China.
Haogou.com, the largest website in China, has only been established for five years, and its traffic in all aspects is far inferior to that of Moubao or Dongdong in its previous life. At the same time, although China's domestic logistics companies are gradually booming, they are still far behind Lu Yuan.
The grand occasion in my memory...
After all, we are now in the emerging period of the 4G era. It is only a matter of time before China's online shopping and logistics companies grow. Moreover, the concept of online shopping is already strong in China, unlike the takeout industry, which no one has tried.
Do you want to set up a logistics company?
Or start a "remote" online shopping company?
After a moment of silence, Lu Yuan finally shook his head.
Forget it.
Haogou.com is operating very well in China and has great momentum, and the major logistics companies in China have also become deeply entrenched.
and……
I have sorted out so many messy things now. If I try to sort out a logistics company or something, I feel like I am biting off more than I can chew. Moreover, I don’t know much about logistics and the express delivery industry. I am completely unfamiliar with the online shopping industry...
Lu Yuan finally gave up this idea.
After throwing all the messy thoughts out of his mind, Lu Yuan clicked on the eby website again.
How much can you get for this dinner?
Lu Yuan found that he was both nervous and looking forward to it.
What makes him nervous is that he is afraid that the price of his dinner will be too cheap. What he is looking forward to is...
What if we can get a good price?
When Lu Yuan clicked on the eby website again, he found that a long banner now appeared on the eby homepage that was originally blank.
There is a line of Chinese and English words on the banner.
"Mr. Lu Yuan's dinner is officially up for auction..."
"Starting price, two hundred thousand dollars!"
"..."
After seeing this number, Lu Yuan's nervousness disappeared.
Two hundred thousand US dollars, more than one million RMB.
And it’s still the starting price.
At least, it's not a cheap price anymore?
Just as he continued to stare at the price updates, Lu Yuan's phone rang.
Lu Yuan looked at the number.
It was Dean Kayla from the University of Southern California who called.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, good morning."
"Dean Keira, good morning..."
"..."
…………………………………………
At noon, Andrew usually takes a nap.
But today at noon, Andrew couldn't sleep no matter what.
He seemed to be in a daze, staring at the eby shopping website and constantly refreshing the web page.
The words "Lu Yuan's dinner auction" have been lingering in his mind since last night.
Although many celebrities on the Internet have expressed their intention to participate in this auction, and although the attitudes of these celebrities seem to be very serious, Andrew still has some luck in his heart.
When he saw that the starting price was 200,000 yuan, his sense of luck became even stronger!
He hoped that the price of Lu Yuan's dinner would not be too high. If possible, he even hoped that Lu Yuan's dinner auction would fail and be stuck at the starting price of 200,000 yuan, making it a joke.
He only expected this...
and!
Two hundred thousand!
Why don't you go and grab it?
This is not a small amount!
Who would spend two hundred thousand dollars on dinner for one person?
Do you think everyone’s money comes from the strong wind?
"Miss Karen, a British aristocrat, bids 250,000 yuan!"
"The Aussie Car Salad Lady bids two hundred and sixty thousand!"
"Mr. Morigami, a famous Japanese writer, bids 300,000 yuan!"
"..."
but……
When he saw that famous figures in the country began to appear on the auction page, followed by a series of increasing monetary data, the luck in Andrew's heart completely disappeared.
In fact, watching the money data refresh is a completely masochistic behavior, and Andrew knows that it is absolutely terrible for him to watch it like this.
but……
But he couldn't control himself.
He has always been a very calm person, but since this guy Lu Yuan appeared, he found that his personality has changed.
When the price reached $350,000, and after looking at the names of celebrities that kept refreshing, his eyes began to gradually turn red.
The feeling of depression became more and more intense, and every time it was refreshed, it seemed to turn into a knife, piercing Andrew's heart fiercely.
Let him...
Somewhat suffocating!
He breathed a sigh of relief and picked up the phone again after a long silence.
"Hey, Rick."
"Ah? Mr. Andrew, what's wrong?"
"So far, how many people from around the world have signed up for Lu Yuan's dinner?"
"Ah, Mr. Andrew, why do you ask this question? Mr. Andrew, I think we should not focus on Lu Yuan now. We should focus on the science fiction blockbuster we are going to shoot next. By the way, Mr. Andrew
, I was just about to tell you that I am going to contact some of the top international science fiction screenwriters for the script of this science fiction blockbuster. As for the director, I am also trying to contact..." On the other end of the phone, Rick seemed to be interested in transferring Andrew.
He paid close attention and started talking about the next movie that Century Company would make.
"Rick, I don't want to know this for now. I hope you can tell me how many people have signed up!" At this moment, Andrew obviously didn't want to hear these things, and he interrupted Rick impatiently.
"..." On the other end of the phone, Rick was silent for a long time.
"explain!"
"Mr. Andrew, you don't want to know." After hesitating for a long time, Rick said this carefully.
"How many?"
"Since the eby website opened the registration channel, from last night to now, there are probably more than 10,000 people in the world..."
"..." After hearing this data, Andrew hung up the phone instantly.
He refreshed the eby website again.
Then……
He saw that the auction price had reached four hundred thousand dollars.
Directly doubled.
"Why do I feel like a joke now?"
In the office, Andrew stared up at the ceiling and suddenly muttered to himself.
Then, there was silence for a long time.
"Isn't it going to break one million dollars?"
"..."
…………………………………………
"Lu Yuan's Dinner Auction".
This is not a joke.
It's not a concept either.
The time gradually came to the afternoon of September 26th.
After Wilson finished handling the company's big and small matters, he finally couldn't help but click on the eby website.
Then, when he saw the auction price soared to eight hundred thousand dollars, he only felt a creepy feeling.
Like Andrew, his heart felt extremely empty.
Ever since the failure of "America 1900", his hatred for Lu Yuan seemed to be ingrained in his bones.
He really hoped to see Lu Yuan fall, even just once!
But……
Not only did he not fall, but he seemed to be growing wildly, viciously appearing in front of his eyes in various ways, and even changing ways to disgust him every day.
Wilson felt that Lu Yuan was like a dark cloud covering the sky...
The feeling of oppression is too great.
He finally couldn't help but start staring at the beating and refreshing data.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
He even forgot to have dinner.
I kept watching like this until half past eleven in the evening.
Then……
This figure jumps to one million dollars!
He felt his heart pounding.
He picked up the phone.
"Hello? Miss Ellie, I want to..."
"Mr. Wilson, you want to ask how Lu Yuan's auction will end, right?" A senior executive of eby company named Ai Li asked without waiting for Wilson to finish.
"How do you know?"
"Just now, I have received no less than thirty calls with this type of problem."
"Then Miss Ai Li, your prediction is..."
"Mr. Wilson, actually, what you should do now is go to bed and have a good rest, or be busy with your company's affairs, and stop paying attention to this..."
"Why?"
"One million is not the end point. In three days, I predict that the price will reach three million or more..."
"..."
"Everything can only be said to have just begun. Do you understand this? Mr. Wilson, in fact, there are too many uncertain factors here. Even if it really breaks through to five million, I feel that I will not
