Chapter 47 I Have an Occupational Disease
It was Mo Qingyan's first time riding a helicopter.
Although he was considered a rich man before his rebirth.
But I have never been on a helicopter.
As for her first experience riding a helicopter, Mo Qingyan felt that it was not as comfortable as those large passenger planes.
Most importantly, the propeller is too loud.
It's so noisy that my ears hurt.
Apart from being able to show off, this type of helicopter is not of much use in normal times.
Of course, for Mo Qingyan now, this helicopter is the life-saving straw.
Because he has to get to City A within an hour.
It takes more than an hour to drive from City B to City A at the fastest speed.
By helicopter, it only takes about twenty minutes to get there.
It seemed that it was the first time for Song Beichen and his friends to ride a helicopter, so after getting on the helicopter, they looked around like curious babies.
Looking down from the helicopter and overlooking the skyscrapers in City B, they were very excited.
The cameramen also understand what the audience in the live broadcast room want to see.
So, several cameramen pointed their cameras outside.
Fortunately, this helicopter is a cargo plane.
Not an ordinary small helicopter.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough space for so many people.
Twenty minutes later, the helicopter landed on the roof of a building.
Two staff members wearing Mendeley Auction uniforms were already on the rooftop to meet Mo Qingyan and others.
Seeing Mo Qingyan getting off the helicopter, two staff members from the Mengdeli Auction immediately came forward to greet her.
"Mr. Mo, welcome to our Mendeley Auction. The auction has started for half an hour, and your private room is ready."
"Would you like to go to the restaurant for some lunch first, or go directly to the auction?"
"I'm in a hurry, so let's go directly to the auction site. The most important thing is to be quick."
Mo Qingyan was extremely anxious as she watched the countdown with only a few seconds left.
"Okay, everyone please follow us."
Two staff members immediately took Mo Qingyan and others to the elevator and then came to the auction site.
The staff took Mo Qingyan and others through the VIP channel and went directly to the auction room.
At this time, the auction had already started for more than half an hour.
The atmosphere of the auction was very lively.
The entire auction hall is magnificent and built in an oval shape.
It is divided into two floors.
The first floor is the hall, which is packed with seats.
Directly facing the seats is the auction stage.
The private rooms on the second floor are above the seats in the hall.
Built around the entire upper edge of the hall.
It is hollow in the middle, so guests in the private rooms on the second floor can clearly see the stage.
Mo Qingyan's private room was right in the middle of the top of the hall, facing the stage.
It is the C position in all private rooms.
The private room is a certain distance away from the stage, so it is definitely impossible to clearly see the auction items on the stage.
Therefore, in addition to the huge display screen behind the stage, there is also a large screen in the private room that broadcasts the stage scene live for the VIP guests in the private room.
When Mo Qingyan arrived, all kinds of drinks and food had already been prepared in the private room.
At the same time, the staff also delivered a list of items for the auction.
The auction items include various rare ingredients that you may have never even heard of.
"This is my first time in a private room at an auction. Unexpectedly, it's quite nice." Song Beichen sat down on the sofa and looked at the various decorations in the private room.
"This is my first time here too, and there are quite a lot of people at this auction." Yin Yiyi stood in front of the large glass window of the private room and looked down.
I saw that the seats below were almost all occupied.
Qi Na sat on the sofa next to Mo Qingyan and asked Mo Qingyan curiously, "Brother Mo, what are you going to buy here?"
"The auction has already started for half an hour. Brother Mo, do you want me to ask for you whether the thing you want to buy has been auctioned off?" As he said that, Tao Zui wanted to press the bell and call the staff.
After all, they arrived late. The auction had already started for more than half an hour, and they didn't know how many items had been sold.
"No, I'll just buy some."
Mo Qingyan was pressed for time at this moment, and he wished that all the auction items could be put up for sale at once so that he could spend eight million directly.
Fortunately, he only gave Taozui and the others 40 million, leaving 10 million as a reserve.
Otherwise, he wouldn't know where to get eight million in such a short time for this task suddenly issued by the system.
However, Mo Qingyan also discovered a pattern.
The amount of money spent on tasks issued by the system seems to be higher each time.
Last time, only temporary mid-level tasks were released.
Mo Qingyan thought that this time it would become a primary task again.
Unexpectedly, this time it directly became an intermediate task, with the word "temporary" removed.
Moreover, he also found that as the level of the task increased, the time it took to complete the task was also shortened.
All previous tasks were completed nearby.
The current task actually involves crossing cities directly.
In the future, I don’t know if it will be able to cross borders.
But that's all in the future; the key now is to complete the current task of spending money.
At this point, the previous item at the auction had already been bought.
Then, the host immediately began to introduce the next item.
"The next ingredient is something that everyone is very familiar with. It is also a regular guest at our auction every year, the Xiangguo Beef."
"The Xiangguo cattle being auctioned this time are three-year-old adult cattle, a total of four, each weighing about 200 kilograms. The first one will be auctioned now. The starting price is 500,000. Each increase in the reserve price cannot be less than 50,000."
Xiangguo cattle are a small breed of cattle. Very famous in this world. It is one of the most expensive and famous beef cattle in the world.
An adult Xiangguo cattle usually weighs about 200 kilograms.
The reason why Xiangguo cattle is called Xiangguo cattle is because the beef of this kind of cattle has a natural fruity aroma.
And the amazing thing is that the fruity aroma of each cow is different.
It feels like opening a blind box of fruit.
The meat of Xiangguo Beef is delicate and the fat is evenly distributed. No matter which cooking method is used, it can produce a delicious taste.
In addition to being delicious, the reason why Xiangguo cattle are expensive is that they are difficult to raise.
The fragrant fruit cattle is a very picky animal. It does not eat grass and only eats fruit.
Moreover, the fruits you eat must be fresh.
Once the fragrant fruit cattle eat unfresh fruits or drink unclean water, they are prone to gastroenteritis. Diarrhea can lead to death.
Xiangguo cattle cannot be kept in captivity. If they are kept in captivity, they will become depressed and eventually die of starvation.
Therefore, the cost of raising such pampered Xiangguo cattle is naturally high.
Some high-end star restaurants usually reserve fragrant fruit beef. But, those fragrant fruit beef are all frozen.
The beef auctioned here is freshly slaughtered and delivered directly to the customer's home.
Most of the viewers in the live broadcast room have heard of Xiangguo Beef.
However, 500,000 yuan for a cow was the starting price, and it was the first time they had seen it.
"Hiss, this cow is too expensive. The starting price is 500,000?"
"Although I knew Xiangguo beef was expensive, I didn't expect it to be this expensive. 500,000 yuan for a cow, 200 kilograms, that's about 2,500 yuan per kilogram. And that's before removing the bones and internal organs. If it's just the meat, wouldn't the price be several thousand yuan?"
"Thousands? It's obvious that the guy above has never eaten Xiangguo beef. Real Xiangguo beef is divided into grades. From grade A to grade C. Each grade is divided into three levels. The highest grade A3 beef sells for 100,000 yuan per pound, and the lowest grade C3 beef also costs tens of thousands."
"What you can buy outside is frozen Xiangguo beef, but what's being auctioned here is fresh. Can the price of fresh Xiangguo beef be the same as frozen?"
"Is this what rich people eat? It's horrible."
"I've really learned a lot today. If I hadn't followed Brother Mo's live broadcast, I wouldn't have known that rich people eat so well."
…
The starting bid was 500,000, and many people immediately raised their placards to bid.
"550,000..."
"650,000..."
"700,000..."
"750,000..."
"800,000..."
The price suddenly started to slow down at 800,000.
Until the price reached 1 million, it suddenly stopped.
"One million for the first time..."
The auctioneer on the stage began the final countdown and shouted.
Mo Qingyan saw that there were only 20 minutes left before the mission was over.
Without thinking, he directly pressed the bidding button for the private room, and then pressed the bid of 2 million.
On the big screen behind the auctioneer, the words "Private Room 8" and "Bidding Price: 2 Million" were immediately displayed.
The auctioneer glanced back at the big screen behind him, then looked up at Room 8 in the middle of the second floor, and immediately shouted, "Room 8, 2 million, one time..."
Many people in the lobby on the first floor immediately couldn't help but look back and looked at the private room No. 8 in front of them.
"Huh? When did someone come to Room 8?"
"I don't know. There wasn't any just now."
"Who is this room No. 8? The price is so generous."
"Could it be Mr. Yin? Didn't they say that Mr. Yin likes to come to this auction the most?"
"No, Mr. Yin. Mr. Yin always goes to Room 6."
"Could it be Mr. Song?"
"It can't be Mr. Song. Mr. Song never likes to join in on this kind of fun."
"Who cares who it is? They've already offered 2 million, so they're determined to get it. There's no need for us to fight for it. There are still three more to come."
…
I saw the quote for Room 8, which is located in the lobby on the first floor, and there was no further increase in the price.
There is no additional charge for other private rooms.
"2 million for the second time, 2 million for the third time...deal."
"Congratulations to Room 8 for bidding on No. 1 Xiangguo Beef for 2 million."
There was applause in the hall.
Before Song Beichen and the others could react, Mo Qingyan had already bought a fragrant fruit cow for 2 million yuan.
"Brother Mo, you rushed to this auction, weren't you just here to buy this Xiangguo Beef?" Yin Yiyi suddenly remembered the scene when Mo Qingyan went to Wanrun Fresh Supermarket and bought seafood to make three-fresh dumplings with black-haired pork.
Qi Na also boldly guessed: "So, Brother Mo thinks that the beef provided at the competition is not good and insults your cooking skills. So, you come here to buy Xiangguo beef?"
"No." Mo Qingyan shook her head. "In fact, I came here purely because of an occupational disease."
"Occupational disease?" Song Beichen asked in confusion: "Brother Mo, what occupational disease do you have?"
Mo Qingyan said as a matter of course: "My job is to spend money. It's an occupational disease. Of course, I want to spend money anytime and anywhere."
"Ah? There is such a disease?" It was the first time that Song Beichen heard it wrong.
"Brother Mo, you are joking." Yin Yiyi covered her mouth and laughed.
"Indeed, Brother Mo was just joking, why did you take it seriously?" Tao Zui also didn't believe that anyone would have the disease of spending money poorly.
They all thought Mo Qingyan was joking.
However, they soon realized that Mo Qingyan's illness was not a joke.
Because, when the second fragrant fruit cow was auctioned. Mo Qingyan immediately pressed the auction price of 2 million.
The price for Room 8 appeared again on the big screen on the stage.
Why is the price for private room No. 8 being raised again? And it’s 2 million.
Although this fragrant fruit beef is good, it is not a particularly rare food ingredient. It is only offered at the auction two or three times every year.
The maximum price is over one million.
2 million is completely beyond the value of this fragrant fruit cow. It’s not worth it!
Many of those who come to this auction are owners of star-rated hotels or restaurants, or wealthy gourmets.
Although he is rich, he is not a big spender. It is impossible for him to spend 2 million to buy a fragrant fruit cow.
Besides, they didn’t want to offend the big shot in the private room.
So, no one raised the price anymore.
Mo Qingyan bought the second Xiangguo Cow for another 2 million.
The whole process. It took less than three minutes.
Song Beichen and others were unable to react at all.
"Um, Brother Mo..."
Tao Zui wanted to persuade Mo Qingyan that the Xiangguo Beef was just one of the ingredients being auctioned and was not the best. One is enough to last you a long time, there is no need to buy so many.
However, what he didn't expect was that before he could finish his words, Mo Qingyan actually paid another 2 million for the third Xiangguo Cow.
Now, Taozui was a little dumbfounded.
The people in the audience saw that private room 8 had bid for the third fragrant fruit beef.
Suddenly I felt numb.
How much do the people in Room 8 like beef? This is the third one.
Can we eat all these cows?
Moreover, the asking price is 2 million.
This is a direct price that only a big loser would offer.
"Two million for the first time... Two million for the second time... Two million for the third time, deal."
"Congratulations to Room 8 for winning the third Xiangguo Cow at a price of 2 million."
"No, Brother Mo, you bought so many cows, are you planning to have a beef banquet?" Song Beichen felt that Mo Qingyan was not buying cows, but cabbages. One is not enough, two is okay, and three is barely enough.
"Even if it's a full-cow banquet, there's no need to buy so many cows, right? Can we finish them all?" Zina was a little surprised.
Although her family is rich, it is only her family that is rich, not her.
Rich second-generations like them usually only have one credit card besides a fixed amount of pocket money.
The money that can be used is actually limited.
For them, spending 2 million to buy a cow is simply impossible.
With that 2 million, what can't you do?
Wouldn’t it be nice to buy a sports car? You can also pretend to be cool or something.
It is even more impossible for someone like Mo Qingyan to spend 6 million to buy three cows.
It’s not like I have too much money to spend.
"I say, you two, can you stop making such a fuss? It's just spending 6 million to buy three cows, but you act like you've never seen anything like it before." Yin Yiyi felt that the two men's expressions, as if they had never seen the world, were really embarrassing.
"Yiyi, have you seen it?" Zina asked her.
Yin Yiyi said: “No.”
"Then how dare you talk about us?" Song Beichen said contemptuously.
"Isn't it still being broadcast live? How embarrassed we would be if the audience in the live broadcast room knew that we haven't met either. Look at how calm Taozui is. Unlike you two at all." Yin Yiyi recognized Taozui's calm performance.
However, Tao Zui said: "I'm sorry, I haven't seen it either. I didn't react just now, just because I didn't react in time."
Yin Yiyi: “…”
This face hurts a little.
"Ha ha……"
"Did you get slapped in the face?"
Song Beichen and Qiao Na didn't give any face at all and just started laughing.
Mo Qingyan looked at the four people helplessly.
No wonder these four funny guys can get along so well with each other so quickly.
It’s not because these four people have similar family backgrounds, it’s because they have the same brain circuits.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also stunned by Mo Qingyan's generosity.
"Oh my god, I always thought that Brother Mo spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on food at Wanrun Fresh Supermarket, which was the limit for a rich person to spend on food. I didn't expect that this was just the beginning."
"To be honest, when Mo Ge said that his profession was a waste of money, I didn't quite believe it. Now I believe it. Spending 6 million to buy three cows, if this is not a waste of money, I don't know what the so-called waste of money is."
"I just want to say that the life of rich people is really beyond our imagination. It really fits the name of this variety show."
"I've really learned a lot..."
…
"Next, it's the fourth and final Xiangguo cattle. The starting price is 500,000, and each bid increase must not be less than 50,000."
Unexpectedly, there was a fourth fragrant fruit cow.
None of the guests in the lobby on the first floor made a bid.
They all turned around and looked towards Room 8.
Sure enough, Private Room 8 did not disappoint them.
Room 8, bid again.
2 million, Private Room 8 offered another 2 million.
Well, this time, people are planning to pre-order all the Xiangguo Beef and not give them any chance at all.
Originally everyone thought that the fourth fragrant fruit beef would be in private room No. 8.
When even Mo Qingyan thought so, Private Room No. 1 suddenly made an offer.
"2.1 million, Room 1 offers 2.1 million."
Seeing that Room 1 had joined the price-based charging system, the people in the hall immediately showed an expression of watching a show.
"Isn't Room 1 the one for Ren's family?"
"It was him. I just happened to see him at the door before the auction started. He was so impressive!"
"Last week, didn't he say that he took advantage of the Tao family's birthday to challenge the Tao family member, and ended up losing the Mirror Lake Villa?"
"Not only did he lose the Jinghu Villa, but I heard that he also gave away his sports car. Everyone knows this! But the one from the Ren family is also lucky. I heard that he is planning to marry the eldest daughter of a big family in Shangjing."
"Marrying the eldest daughter of a big family in Shangjing? No wonder he's been so cocky lately. It looks like his status as heir will be recognized soon."
…
Mo Qingyan didn't expect that someone would actually raise the price.
He doesn't think he's so awesome that no one dares to raise the price.
I just thought that this price was quite high, but I didn’t expect that someone would actually want it.
Raising the price is someone else's right, and Mo Qingyan certainly doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
But his mission time is almost up, and he has to pay off the last 2 million as soon as possible.
So, he also raised the price.
"Room No. 8, 2.5 million."
In order not to waste time, Mo Qingyan directly added 400,000.
I thought the other party would not follow me, but unexpectedly.
The other party continued to catch up.
"Private Room 1, 2.55 million."
"Room No. 8, 2.6 million."
"Private Room No. 1: 2.65 million."
"Room No. 8 is 2.8 million."
"Private Room No. 1: 2.85 million."
The other party has been raising the price, and only increases by 50,000 at a time.
If you really want that cow, you usually won't just offer the base price.
And the price was charged at the same price as Mo Qingyan's.
Mo Qingyan felt provoked.
It didn't seem like the other party wanted to pat the cow, but rather seemed to be deliberately going against him.
Song Beichen couldn't help it, "Oh my god, who is in Room 1? So cheap, always sticking to Brother Mo's price to raise the bottom price, isn't this deliberately provoking Brother Mo?"
Tao Zui raised his eyebrows and said, "Forget it, Brother Mo, it's just a cow, the price is already too high. There's no need to add more."
"Forget it? Taozui, don't you realize that the other party is deliberately provoking Brother Mo?" Yin Yiyi said angrily.
“I know, but it’s not worth it.”
In Taozui's opinion, the price of a Xiangguo cattle at 2.85 million is already inflated by more than one million. Not worth it at all.
That's why he wanted to persuade Mo Qingyan to give up. There was no need to waste money just to save his breath.
Mo Qingyan nodded, "Yes, it's not worth it."
Then, he turned around and pressed the price of 3 million.
Tao Yu was dumbfounded, "Brother Mo, didn't you say it's not worth it?"
Mo Qingyan said innocently: "It's not worth it, but my occupational disease has come on, and I can't control my hands!"
There are still ten minutes left and the mission time will be over. Can he not hurry?
"This..." Tao Zui's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Is this what it means to be rich and willful?" Qi Na felt that among the people she knew, Mo Qingyan was the one who spent the most money.
The price has reached 3 million. At this price, I think the price of private room No. 1 will not be increased any more.
Unexpectedly, the other party was still very persistent.
"Room No. 1 is 3.05 million."
Before Mo Qingyan exploded, Song Beichen exploded first.
"Damn it, who is in Room 1? Is he mentally ill? I want to see who is the mentally ill person who is looking for trouble."
After saying that, Song Beichen was about to open the door and walk out.
"Xiaobei, don't be impulsive." Taozui immediately grabbed him.
"Are we just going to watch Brother Mo being played like this?" Song Beichen couldn't bear it anymore.
Mo Qingyan advised, "Song Beichen, calm down. We are still live streaming, don't do anything that will get your live streaming shut down, otherwise it will be more trouble than it is worth."
Although Mo Qingyan was a little angry, she didn't want to cause trouble when the task was not completed.
"But, if that's the case, that person might think we are afraid of him!" Song Beichen was unwilling to accept this.
Mo Qingyan said: "If a problem can be solved with money, then it is not a problem."
After saying that, Mo Qingyan directly pressed the price of 4 million.
He wanted to see if the other party would increase the price.
