Ye Li's eyes lit up.
Tris's smile froze.
Everyone turned around and saw a Chinese man in a black suit standing outside the crowd.
"who is he?"
"I don't know him!"
"I don't think I've ever seen this before!"
People in the fashion industry shook their heads.
Those in the entertainment industry also looked suspicious.
Only a few Parisian business tycoons who had accompanied their wives to the auction were reminded by their secretaries and snapped out of their daze.
“Fu…”
The first person to go up on the stage was the royal official who was originally in charge of the auction.
With a look of delighted surprise, as if seeing an old friend after many years, the person in charge put down the microphone and walked towards Fu Yanci, "It's been many years since we last met, long time no see!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Fu Yanci reached out and shook hands with the other person.
He looked up at Triss again, his cold gaze full of warning.
? ? ?
Triss was completely confused. "Who is he?"
"The founder of Lixin Capital."
Triss: ...
Lixin Capital is the most legendary venture capital firm in France.
From being underestimated at the beginning to its rapid growth in just a few years.
For several years, no one knew who the ruthless angel investor at Lixin Capital was. All that was known was that he was highly skilled and quickly turned around several companies that were on the verge of bankruptcy, and then went public soon after.
In recent years, Lixin Capital's stock price has been soaring.
And more and more companies are cooperating with Lixin Capital.
There are also rumors circulating that many members of the royal family and nobles are trying to make connections with Mr. Fu, the renowned but unseen CEO of Lixin Capital.
Although Triss indulged in sensual pleasures, he knew nothing about business.
But whether at home or at social gatherings, I've heard the name of that General Manager Fu quite often.
I thought the other person was either an elderly man with gray hair or at least a middle-aged man with a big belly, but I didn't expect him to be so young.
And their first meeting was about the same woman?
He cursed under his breath, then looked at Fu Yanci and then at Ye Li, a sudden glint of eager anticipation appearing in his eyes.
Even if you lose to the famous CEO Fu, you can still be proud of your defeat, right?
In terms of financial resources, he is unmatched.
But in terms of looks, he might not be inferior, right?
A competitive spirit and a desire to conquer shone in his eyes. Before Triss could even utter a provocative declaration as he watched Fu Yanci walk over from outside the crowd, he was already uttering his first words.
Then Fu Yanci walked to Ye Li's side and affectionately put his arm around her waist.
Throughout the entire process, Ye Li did not show the slightest sign of resistance.
Triss: !!!
“Daniel…”
Fu Yanci looked at the auction organizer and said, "Excuse me for interrupting you, you can continue now!"
"Oh, right!"
With a belated realization, the auction manager stepped onto the stage and announced, "10 million per bid!"
"Ten million twice!"
"15 million!"
Tris stubbornly raised the price.
"20 million!"
Fu Yanci spoke calmly and deliberately.
"30 million!"
Triss caught up, glaring fiercely at Fu Yanci, with an air of "I have plenty of money, I'm not afraid of you."
His fierce gaze met Fu Yanci's gentle, nodding face.
It's as if it's saying: Thank you!
? ? ?
Triss was taken aback.
On the stands, the auctioneer looked around the room and announced, "30 million per bid."
"30 million twice."
"30 million, three times! Sold!"
clatter!
The hammer fell.
Applause erupted.
Triss was stunned.
Behind the crowd, Dai Qingzhou was visibly shaken.
Lydia, Jolian, and Jiang Chengcheng, who were standing beside him, all looked completely dumbfounded.
That's...that's 30 million US dollars!
That translates to nearly 200 million RMB!
Those who know the upper class don't see money as money; it's just a rough estimate.
But isn't this impact a bit too great?
Just minutes before, they were cheering for the $2.2 million "Seine Lake".
In the WeChat group, the vice president led the group of designers in cheers, saying they would hold a celebration party when they got back to celebrate the successful auction of Lydia's work.
In the blink of an eye, Ye Li's "Deep Sea Siren" fetched a sky-high price of 30 million.
Not to mention the dazzling post-match auction last year, even the recent auctions in Paris and Milan haven't seen a single item fetch such a high price.
Dai Qingzhou was a little confused.
Jiang Chengcheng's mind went blank.
The largest banquet she had ever attended in the past 19 years was a birthday party for a girl in the elite circles of the capital.
It was Zhou Hechen who took her there.
Champagne bottles starting at 100,000 are displayed on the table as if they were free, and guests can drink as much as they want.
The gifts that the people present gave to the girl were either racing cars or handbags, and any one of them would cost hundreds of thousands or even millions if you searched online.
I originally thought that banquet of that scale was already pretty impressive.
But after a trip to Paris, everything she saw and experienced completely overturned her perception.
Jiang Chengcheng thought that the Palace of Versailles was like an antique, something that could only be seen on TV or in photos.
This was the first time I had ever heard that banquets could be held at the Palace of Versailles.
Moreover, even one of the guests present, even one sitting in the corner, would be a big shot or a bigwig if taken outside.
Those fashion industry bigwigs she used to think were unapproachable, and who she would carefully consider her words when leaving a comment, are now only able to stand on the outer circle.
