The central area is dominated by landscapes and core buildings; the eastern area is a combination of dense buildings and multiple gardens; the western area has large rockery and natural forests; the northern area is arranged with bamboo forests, fruit trees and bonsai gardens.
Although it has undergone many renovations over the years, it still retains its ancient charm and has a retro feel.
I won’t talk about the other luxury houses I just photographed, I must get this one, and I came here mainly for it.
Sister Jing couldn't give her an estimate for this item, and there were no items in previous years that could be compared with it. It all depends on her own determination.
For a good thing like this, the final transaction price will definitely be much higher than the starting price. Instead of increasing the price bit by bit, it is better to show your strength and intimidate other customers.
"Number 17 bid 2 billion, Susie's call, 2.5 billion, number 2 bid 3 billion, number 6's 3.5 billion, number 5's 4 billion. Is there a higher bid? Zhou Xing's call, 4.1 billion, number 17's 4.5 billion, number 2199 is back in the hands of number 17 again."
The host's hand gestures were so intense that smoke was coming out of his mouth. Many people present came for this highlight item.
The customers in the first row had not bid much before, but now they all showed up, and basically they all bid in increments of 500 million.
Guan Yan didn't say anything yet. She held the high-priced bidding card in her hand and watched others bid leisurely. She wanted to bid for lot 2199 herself.
No one would be foolish enough to maliciously raise the price of such a huge item, and in the end, every customer who raised the price carefully considered the price.
"4.7 billion, any more to add? 4.7 billion, good, 4.9 billion goes back to No. 17, 5 billion goes back to Susie's commission, and 6 billion goes back to No. 17. It seems No. 17 is bound to win."
The host continued to gracefully prompt bids, using various slow-motion gestures to stall for time in order to reach a higher transaction price.
Obviously, 6 billion is far from the auction house's expected price.
"Number 2's 7 billion, 7 billion, 7.1 billion returned to number 17. Number 2's 7.6 billion, number 17's 7.7 billion, is there a higher bid?"
On the field, we can see that number 2 and number 17 are competing with each other. Neither of them is willing to give in. Number 2 is raising the stakes by 500 million at a time. Although number 17 only raises 100 million each time, he is still following closely and decisively, almost constantly raising the stakes.
When number 1 was raised to 8.5 billion, Guan Yan turned his head to look at the number 2 card position on the right. It was a middle-aged lady. She called out the price less than five times throughout the whole game. She should also be heading for Qionglin Garden.
Unfortunately, she was going to be disappointed. Guan Yan gently raised the card and made a gesture.
"Nine billion for card number 1."
Almost at the moment when the host said the number 1, the customer who just bid the price had only two words in his mind: It's over.
The guests watching the fight between the gods on the field had only two words in their minds: beautiful.
Jiang Chengyi: The new boss is extremely rich.
Yan: Well... Guan Guan should be happy tonight.
Card No. 2 looked towards Guan Yan, forced a smile and nodded at her.
Daddy, here we go again.
The woman raised her card again, and the host pointed at her with five fingers together and said, "Number 2 means 9.1 billion."
Guan Yan generously returned her a smile and politely gestured back.
"Number 1 has 9.6 billion, can you add more? Number 2 has 9.7 billion, and number 17 has 9.8 billion."
Card 2 struggled once more, this number already reaching her critical value. Card 17, who had been thought to have given up, also joined in the fun. Guan Yan was not afraid, so she just rounded it up.
"10 billion for number 1. 10 billion once, 10 billion twice. 10 billion goes to number 1. Congratulations to number 1. Thank you very much!"
Sure enough, after reaching their estimated amount, the hammer fell much more smoothly. The host banged the hammer down for the last time tonight, and the auction ended perfectly with the host's words of thanks.
After acquiring Qionglin Garden and spending 4.3 billion on various other items auctioned earlier, Guan Yan's original balance of 16.2 billion is now reduced to 1.9 billion. It has been a long time since his wallet has been so empty.
After the event, before Guan Yan could leave, she was surrounded by a group of unfamiliar guests, who greeted her and tried to secretly test her identity. She was blocked by Jiang Chengyi. Xi Jing was seated at No. 42, and he came to the front row to find her after a while.
Using her nimble body to push aside passersby, Xi Jing stood in front of Guan Yan, blocking everyone else's view. Smiling like a delicate flower, she said, "Xiao Yan, you really surprised me tonight. You're going to blow up everyone in the circle tomorrow. I really don't know where your limit is."
Guan Yan, in this situation, didn't act like she was the best in the world, as she did online. She said modestly, "It was the seniors who let me win, and in the end it wasn't much of a difference. They just didn't compete with me. But Sister Jing, your booklet was a great help tonight. It saved me a lot of trouble."
You can be rich, but you can't be stupid enough to become a target.
They were praising each other in the group, and even when they were outside, Xijing liked Guan Yan's sincerity. See, she's a wealthy woman without putting on airs, so who wouldn't want to be her friend? Secretly delighted that she was now the closest to her in the group, she invited her, "I'm glad you can use me. So, do you want to get together later? Quite a few people showed up in the group for today's auction."
Some unfamiliar customers nearby heard and asked what group they were talking about. Most of them were businessmen, and profit was the most important thing. Even if they didn't know them, they pretended to be familiar with them.
Before the No. 2 ticket, she had been arguing with Guan Yan about the price for Qionglin Garden, and she was a little unhappy that she didn't get it. The two seats were not far apart, and she also heard Guan Yan's nice words just now, and she felt a lot better in her heart.
He is a pretty good young man, but she is not as capable as him.
Guan Yan nodded: "Okay, then I have to bring my family with me."
Instead of listening to a bunch of strangers flattering me, I might as well go out for a midnight snack with those lovely friends. We are all so familiar with each other.
Moreover, no matter how impressive the people at the auction were, she had no desire to socialize. To put it bluntly, what benefits could they bring her? Even if there were any profitable interactions, she wouldn't care about such trivial matters.
If anyone wants to harm her, they can just buy a firearm from the system mall and assassinate them.
So they have no social value to her, and there is no need for social interaction.
Xi Jing glanced back and forth between Jiang Chengyi and Yan, then glanced at Guan Yan. She hadn't been able to tell which one was a family member based on their appearance and clothing; they were all so handsome. Besides, maybe they were all family members? After all, the boy she had brought to her shop last time was quite outstanding.
Xi Jing gave Guan Yan an "I understand, I understand" look and said, "No problem, everyone can go to the party I organized."
Guan Yan: ??? I don’t understand.
