Chapter 52: Knocked Out

The charity auction is over.

In the end, the antique that I, Shao Yuan, liked was bought by a celebrity.

I have to say that some celebrities are actually quite rich.

Coming to such occasions is actually just to expand relationships.

Just get to know more people.

After all, many of the people here are big bosses with money and status.

The payment method for auction items is a bit cumbersome and needs to be paid for each item one by one.

Why can't we pay together?

Of course, this is to ensure that the auction amount can be clearly displayed when it is announced on the official website.

One amount corresponds to one auction item.

This has always been the rule of the Han Dynasty’s charity auctions.

It is precisely because of this that the free coupon of Shao Yuan can only be used to purchase one item.

So, it’s not that the system is stingy, it’s just that the rules of the auction are like this.

The people in the live broadcast room were shocked when I, Shao Yuan, bought the ruby necklace for 3 billion.

There were originally 300,000 people online, and when he was arguing with Zhao Kangqian, more than 200,000 more people came.

The number of viewers has now exceeded one million.

The number of people online is still increasing at a visible rate.

At this time, two auction staff members were standing in front of me, Shao Yuan.

Behind the staff stood two Han charity supervisors.

The purpose is to supervise the entire process of this charity auction and the final payment process.

Make sure that the auction amount is consistent with the final payment amount.

Everyone else's payment was successful.

Now the only one missing is me, Shao Yuan.

I have to say that I, Shao Yuan, really stole the show this time.

First, in the banquet hall, Wang Quanzhi was summoned within ten minutes, and Wang Quanzhi was sent to the VIP throne with all kinds of flattery.

Now, he bought the ruby necklace at a sky-high price of 3 billion.

3 billion! This is a price that is higher than all other items put together.

In fact, the other lots combined do not even reach one-third of this.

This price can be said to have created the highest auction price and the highest transaction amount in a charity auction.

For many people today, all their assets added up are less than 3 billion.

But I, Shao Yuan, spent 3 billion to buy a necklace.

Just as Zhao Kangqian said and thought just now.

Many people also think that I, Shao Yuan, am a rich second generation.

It is basically impossible for a rich second-generation to come up with so much money before taking over the family business.

If I, Shao Yuan, had taken over the family business, I would not be so reckless.

Raise the price to 3 billion.

In the end, he failed to trick Zhao Kangqian, but ended up tricking himself.

Yes, in the eyes of those people.

I, Shao Yuan, am young and hot-headed. I wanted to take revenge on Zhao Kangqian, so I deliberately raised the price.

Otherwise, if I, Shao Yuan, really wanted to buy that necklace, why didn't I do anything at the beginning?

As a result, he failed to trick Zhao Kangqian, but tricked himself.

3 billion, can he come up with it?

"Boss Wang, I think you should call him over first. With his condition, he might not even be able to come up with 300 million, let alone 3 billion."

Zhao Kangqian firmly believed that it was impossible for Shao Yuan to come up with 3 billion.

The fans in the live broadcast room were also a little worried.

Some passersby who came to watch the fun were even gloating.

"3 billion? Is this guy crazy? 3 billion for a necklace."

"And we don't know if this necklace is real or not. If it's fake, then these 3 billion will be wasted."

"If you can't come up with this much money, it's not just a matter of embarrassment. I think you'll go to jail, right?"

"It's true that the government will be affected. If it were a normal auction, the most they would have to do would be mortgage their assets. But this is a charity auction. If you can't come up with that much money, you could go to jail. According to our Han Dynasty's laws, for such a large sum, you'd probably be sentenced to more than 30 years."

"Serves you right. If you don't have the skills, how can you stop the porcelain work?"

"I say, you guys, stop it. His Majesty hasn't even paid yet, how do you know he can't pay?"

"That's right, our Majesty would spend over 100 million just for a casual stroll, and 3 billion for a necklace. This is not normal."

"What kind of people are they? Your Majesty is the prince of the Gold Mining Kingdom. What's a mere 3 billion?"

"Those people above are just bragging, spending over 100 million on shopping. They are just acting, and you believe it. It's all a pre-written script."

"What prince of the gold mining country? I've checked everything out. This guy is just an ordinary college student in Lancheng. He couldn't even afford the tuition before and had to go out to work to earn money for tuition."

"Ah? Working to earn tuition? No way? Then where does he get so much money to buy things at the Black Dragon store?"

"Didn't I just say that? It was all an act. A joint act with the Black Dragon store. They wanted to get on the trending search list and get some advertising."

…

Zhang Tao and Huang Zhiming were very angry when they saw the comments on their phones that slandered Shao Yuan.

However, they were unable to refute it on the spot.

I just hope that I, Shao Yuan, can be powerful and give those people a slap in the face.

"Mr. Zhen, you have three lots in total. The price of the first lot is 1 million."

Zhen Shao Yuan directly handed the black card to the staff, "Swipe the card, no password."

After I, Shao Yuan, took out the black card, Zhao Kangqian, who had originally looked disdainful, was stunned.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

Then he opened his eyes wide and looked.

I want to see if I saw it wrong.

However, he was not wrong.

That is Hanguo Bank’s highest-level black card.

Don’t be fooled by the simple appearance of the black card, which seems to have no special features.

Even worse than some ordinary cards.

However, this black card represents a lot of meaning.

I want to have this black card.

Then the net worth must reach more than 100 billion.

And you also need cash savings of more than one million.

That’s right, cash savings.

Moreover, it is not enough to save money in addition to cash.

If you want to apply for this black card, you need various identity verifications.

Therefore, this black card represents the top-level status.

Even Zhao Kangqian, the uncle who controls one-fifth of the entertainment industry, is not eligible to apply for this black card.

Unexpectedly, this young man actually owns this black card.

Although Zhao Kangqian doesn’t think this black card belongs to me, Shao Yuan.

But even if the black card belongs to my Shao Yuan parents.

That was enough to scare him.

Because that means that my parents, Shao Yuan, are people that he, or even his uncle, cannot afford to offend.

Just now, he not only ridiculed the young man in various ways, but also directly cheated the young man out of more than ten billion.

If this matter were known by the young man's parents.

Then the consequence...

Zhao Kangqian's face turned pale instantly.

Even though the air conditioner was on in the room, sweat broke out on his forehead unconsciously.

In addition to Zhao Kangqian, Wang Quanzhi also recognized the black card.

But Wang Quanzhi was not surprised at all.

Most other people don’t know what this black card means.

So, there was no reaction.

Under the supervision of the charity's supervisor, the auction staff took the black card and began to swipe it.

It’s just one million, they don’t think that I, Shao Yuan, can’t afford it.

What makes them nervous is the remaining 3 billion.

The card swipe was successful.

Next came the second lot, a Monster watch worth 40 million.

Soon, the 40 million yuan was successfully swiped.

Now comes the final highlight.

The staff member took a deep breath and continued, "Mr. Zhen, the price of your third lot is 3 billion."

"Keep brushing."

I, Shao Yuan, casually put my hands into my pockets, as if I didn't care about the 3 billion at all.

The staff member carefully pressed a series of zeros, and his hands shook unconsciously twice during the process.

In fact, he had never pressed so many zeros in his life.

Then, he picked up Zhen Shao Yuan's card with some trepidation and swiped it on the card reader.

Everyone held their breath and looked at the blue card machine.

Can the payment be successful?

That’s 3 billion.

Jay Chou and the others also looked nervous.

Although they all believe in Shao Yuan's financial resources.

But believing is one thing.

Whether or not you can finally pay by card is another matter.

Si Yi, the housekeeper, stood aside with a normal expression.

Appears exceptionally calm.

It was only two seconds.

But everyone felt as if two centuries had passed.

The "beep" sound from the card machine brought everyone back to their senses.

The white receipt that came out of the card machine made everyone except Si Yi gasp.

Payment successful.

Oh my god!

3 billion, just by swiping the brush, the payment was actually successful.

At this time, the live broadcast room of Zhen Shao Yuan seemed to be disconnected from the Internet, and everyone fell into silence.

Until the staff member respectfully handed the black card and receipt to me, Shao Yuan.

Until the two charity supervisors bowed to me, Shao Yuan, to express their gratitude.

Thank you Shao Yuan for making such a great contribution to charity.

Only then did the people in the live broadcast room come to their senses.

Those fans are crazy.

The excitement this time is even greater than the last time the Black Dragon stores were cleared out.

"Oh my god..."

"At this moment, I just want to say, Your Majesty is awesome."

"Three billion, and they paid it so easily without blinking an eye? Am I dreaming?"

"I knew it. I knew His Majesty wouldn't care about a mere 3 billion. Look, now the payment has been made easily."

"Where are those people who just said that Your Majesty couldn't come up with that much money and was just putting on an act? Why aren't they shouting anymore?"

"What are you still yelling about? Those guys' faces are swollen now, right?"

"Beat him? I think he was even knocked unconscious. And you're still acting? Does His Majesty really need to act for a mere 100 million?"

"What's wrong with working part-time to earn tuition? Who says those who work part-time are poor? Your Majesty, that's called experiencing life, don't you understand?"

"Exactly. Do you really think all rich people are the kind who only know how to spend money lavishly and never make money? Our Majesty is different."

"If those haters hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that our Majesty was so frugal. He actually works part-time to earn tuition. He's truly worthy of being my fan."

…

At this time, the black spots had completely retreated.

Even those who did not retreat remained silent.

The 3 billion really stunned them.

The kind where your mouth is smacked so hard that you can't speak.

After swiping the card successfully, I, Shao Yuan, took the black card in my hand and was about to go find Zhao Kangqian.

But he found that Zhao Kangqian was nowhere to be seen.

Si Yi saw through his thoughts and leaned over to whisper, "Master, Zhao Kangqian has just left in a hurry with his bodyguards."

"Left?"

Zhen Shao Yuan said with a look of regret: "I haven't even shown off to him yet. What a pity."

Looking at Shao Yuan's smug look, Si Yi didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

On the contrary, I feel that my young master is very frank.

He smiled and said, "Do you need me to help you, Master, bring him back?"

"Forget it." Shao Yuan waved his hand. He saw that the two charity supervisors seemed to be ready to call the reporters in.

Puzzled, “Why did they call the reporters in?”

Wang Quanzhi said, "For the photo opportunity. Tonight's charity auction has already been booked for tomorrow's headlines. Guests attending the auction tonight can take part in the group photo. Guests who donated items or took photos of the items will also have the opportunity to take individual photos."

"Mr. Zhen is the top performer tonight, so he deserves to be in the center. The press will give you an exclusive interview later."

"Exclusive interview?" Zhen Shao Yuan quickly waved his hand, "I think we should forget it."

Then he quickly snatched the phone from the shelf.

Said to Si Yi: "Hurry, let's run away. I don't want to be surrounded by a group of reporters."

"Okay, Master."

Then, under Wang Quanzhi's incredulous gaze, I, Shao Yuan, quickly slipped away from the back door with Si Yi and others.

When the two supervisors brought the reporters in and prepared for the interview, they found that the real person had disappeared.
