During this period, an advertisement has been bombarding the internet and television.
Even when you open Youku to watch videos, there are always interruptions at the beginning and in the middle.
Some people have discovered that some websites have changed their previously obscure embedded ads from those low-quality web games to the same ads.
What kind of advertisement is it?
That is, the legendary treasure, the luminous pearl, has appeared in the world. The story vividly recounts the origin of the luminous pearl, analyzes the existence of merfolk in the sea in a seemingly plausible way, and even makes a completely unrelated connection with dragons.
In short, I'm telling you that this luminous pearl is amazing, far superior to those low-grade fluorite stones. It has a mythical aura, it's unique, and it will be auctioned at the Wanli Special Auction on Saturday, July 8th, at the Wanli Qiantang Branch Auction Hall in Qiantang District.
Qiantang has been the subject of countless legends and stories since ancient times. From the poetic and picturesque scenery of Jiangnan in the misty rain to the love story between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, a mortal and a demon, all of these have shrouded this historic city in mystery.
Starting Friday, private planes from various cities in China and around the world began landing at Qiantang Xiaoshan International Airport.
Airport staff have only seen such scenes during some international expositions, but they don't think there are any major conferences or other projects taking place in Qiantang recently.
Presidential suites and deluxe suites in some five-star hotels in Qiantang are basically fully booked, and the guests staying there are all very important people.
The auction venue for Wanli Qiantang Branch's auction has been temporarily changed to the main exhibition hall of Qiantang Convention and Exhibition Center because the original auction hall was no longer available.
Even Zhou Peng and Zhou Wannian did not expect that, despite overestimating the scale of the auction as much as possible, there would be far more bidders than they had anticipated, and that this luminous pearl would attract such widespread attention.
This is because the news and videos that have been leaked are so shocking. In the past, even for large diamonds, the only bidders at gem auctions were gem processing companies and a few economic giants.
But this luminous pearl is different; it's practically a mythical treasure, coveted by countless people.
Some people, by virtue of their status, do not need to be there in person, but they all want to see this magical treasure with their own eyes, since the competition is too fierce and they may not be able to win it.
...
In a suite on the top floor of the Qiantang Grand Hotel, Yang Zhangcheng hung up the phone with a furrowed brow.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yun asked her father.
Yang Zhangcheng put his phone on the table.
"Prince Mohammed's private jet has also arrived at Xiaoshan Airport."
Yang Yun fell silent. They were originally determined to get the luminous pearl this time, but the situation was much more serious than they had thought.
If the Saudi prince starts throwing money around, even ten Yang families couldn't stop him.
...
Finally, Saturday, July 8th, arrived.
Wu You led Bai Yanxi and Garuru to the Qiantang Convention and Exhibition Hall. After the gatekeeper checked their special invitation, they entered the exhibition hall without any hindrance.
The convention center was heavily guarded, with even the public security system deploying personnel to maintain order on the perimeter. No one could enter without an invitation.
High-end floor mats, wooden tables and chairs, and beverage counters had been laid out in advance in the exhibition hall, and reception staff fluent in foreign languages were stationed around the various bosses, executives, and foreign guests.
Because of the large number of people and the temporary change of venue, there was no backstage VIP lounge. Instead, the lobby resembled a large cocktail party, with some prominent figures exchanging pleasantries and building rapport.
Many people, like Wu You, come with bodyguards; those who don't are in the minority. However, Garuru's fierce appearance brings a strong sense of oppression, frequently drawing attention from everyone present.
Bai Yanxi, after washing up and changing his clothes, was also extraordinary.
With his full head of silver hair coiled in a bun, his white beard flowing smoothly, and his complexion rosy, he wore a white silk Tai Chi uniform that accentuated his vigorous spirit. With his white hair, youthful face, and otherworldly air, this was the unanimous thought in the minds of everyone who saw Elder Bai.
Naturally, Wu You, who was a step ahead of the two, also became extraordinary. He was dressed in ordinary casual clothes, but with his confident and sunny smile, no one dared to underestimate him.
Several well-to-do businessmen nearby hesitated whether to step forward and strike up a conversation to get to know Wu You.
...
Zhou Peng was riding high today, all his past anxieties gone. His inherent pride began to emerge, and many of the company's veterans and powerful managers were eager to curry favor with him.
From this day forward, he will undoubtedly seize the right to inherit the colossal Wanli Group with overwhelming force.
Don't underestimate Wanli Auction Company; its power lies not only in its enormous capital but also in the formidable network of relationships among its various clients.
Just then, Zhou Peng, who was chatting with several imposing figures, saw Wu You enter. He quickly apologized to the people next to him and then strode towards Wu You.
"Brother Wu, you've finally arrived. The auction is about to begin, and there are quite a few important people here today."
Zhou Peng greeted Wu You warmly, but when he saw Garuru, he somehow changed his mind and shook hands instead.
Wu You shrugged in relief: "Brother Peng, you go and attend to the customers. I'm not here to buy anything anyway. I'll just watch the show later."
Seeing that Garuru didn't react, Zhou Peng patted Wu You on the shoulder with relief.
"Hahahaha, you can't miss my glorious moment, Brother Peng. Today I've swept away all the grudges from the past."
"Come on, let me introduce you to a few people, the ones I mentioned to you on the phone last time."
Wu You followed Zhou Peng indifferently toward the group of people who had just been chatting with Zhou Peng.
Everyone around knew Zhou Peng, and even those who didn't know him before had all gotten to know him today. Seeing how warmly he received Wu You, they all began to speculate about Wu You's identity.
...
Yang Yun and Fan Tiantian chatted on the side; today's auction was the most unusual one they had ever attended.
"Tian Tian, didn't you say last time you were going to teach that Liu Weiliang a lesson? So, are you planning to do it?" Yang Yun asked with a smile.
Fan Tiantian couldn't help but laugh whenever she thought of Liu Weiliang at the hospital.
"No need, he's already suffered enough. Yunyun, do you know that he's inexplicably paralyzed all over his body? The doctors can't figure out the cause. So I won't pursue anything else with him."
“Yes, yes, we’re the most magnanimous people ever,” Yang Yun joked from the side.
Fan Tiantian, however, saw Wu You walking with Zhou Peng.
"Sister Yang, look, that person looks unfamiliar. Do you know him?"
Following Fan Tiantian's finger, Yang Yun saw Zhou Peng and Wu You, as well as Garuru and Bai Yanxi behind them.
"I don't know him either, but since he's so close to Zhou Peng, he must be from some powerful family!"
...
Wu You actually dislikes being polite with a bunch of people, but unfortunately, the people Zhou Peng introduced him to today were all very important figures, some of whom he had only seen on national-level television programs.
For example, Saudi Prince Mohammed.
Strangely enough, Mohammed actually thought Wu You's bodyguard was really cool. Luckily, Wu You came up with a cliché story about repaying a debt of gratitude for saving his life, which was enough to appease Mohammed's desire for him to help find a bodyguard.
When these important figures learned that the luminous pearl originated from Wu You, they all showed goodwill and subtly inquired about its origin and whether there was a second one.
However, even if other luminous pearls were to be released, it would have to wait until the auction was over. Wu You understood the value of the unique treasure.
...
A dozen minutes later, in this venue that was least like an auction, the electronic audio-visual system emitted sound.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the special auction of the Pearl is about to begin. Please take your seats according to your nameplates!"
