Fortunately, several classmates caught fish and had their fill of fishing. In the evening, the cruise ship sailed to the sea.
As soon as the ship docked, Ning Yan had the fish airlifted back to M City.
"Let's go, change our clothes, and then we'll go check out the auction."
She registered online and paid the deposit a couple of days ago, so she can just go there today.
Su Mengmeng: "Oh my god, what are you going to buy now?"
Ning Yan said, "That depends on what they sell."
"No, Uncle really won't have any objections to you spending money like this?"
Ning Yan didn't want to tell her that her father had transferred another 200 million yuan to her this morning, and that this mission was clearly going to cost 300 million yuan.
She has to spend it quickly, otherwise she won't be able to spend money so lavishly once school starts.
"Don't worry, the card is his. He knows exactly how much I spend and what I buy. Have you seen him call me even once?"
Su Mengmeng said: No, my uncle has never called my deskmate.
"He'd love for me to spend more money. Let's go. If there's anything suitable, I'll buy it. If not, let's just consider this a trip to Haishi. Tomorrow we'll go back to Shanshi to pack our bags, and the day after tomorrow we'll go to H City."
Upon hearing the city name, Su Mengmeng said, "So you're going to H City for high-end consumption, right?"
Ning Yan gave her a thumbs up, "Smart."
Su Mengmeng really wants a dad like hers. Why can't her dad let her spend money as much as she wants?
She had already seen the items that the auction house was going to bid on, and she had her eye on one of them, a Pixiu carved from top-grade mutton fat jade, which she was absolutely determined to bid on.
Pixiu, which only takes in and never gives out, is most suitable for her father to wear.
As for the rest, let fate decide.
The group arrived at the auction house by car. The receptionist was quite bewildered and whispered to his colleague, "My God, a kid who's not even an adult dares to come to an auction? What kind of family does this person come from?"
"We don't know what kind of family they come from, but the outfit of the person in the lead alone must be worth seven figures, and his watch is from Brand B, which must also be worth seven figures."
The waiter fell silent.
He had just started working at the auction house and his knowledge of luxury goods was not up to par. He couldn't recognize those high-end items, yet his clothes were worth millions. Hearing this made him want to curse. There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more like him?
Inside the venue, several children sat in the lobby, quietly watching other guests bid on things like used cars, vases, and calligraphy and paintings, but Ning Yan wasn't interested at all.
Even if she's bound to a spendthrift system, the things she buys have to be things she likes or that are useful, otherwise she won't spend money recklessly.
Because that would make her seem silly.
Soon, it was the turn of lot number eight, a top-grade mutton-fat white jade Pixiu. The host introduced the master carver and carving techniques of the Pixiu, as well as the quality and weight of the mutton-fat white jade, and then announced the starting price: "The starting price for this jade pendant is 12 million, and each bid must be at least 500,000. Those who are interested can place their bids now."
Su Mengmeng leaned closer to Ning Yan: "It feels so expensive, only a little over 100 grams, how much gold could that buy?"
"Gold is gold, and jade is jade. Even if the price doubles by twelve million, it might not be enough to buy it."
Qiu Jinzhu said, "I don't know what's going on, but if I'm not with you, I feel like it's so expensive when I hear someone say they bought a jade pendant for ten million."
But thinking about how much money your dad sends you, and then considering this price, I feel like it's not quite commensurate with your dad's abilities.
Giving my daughter nine figures in pocket money, is it a bit inappropriate for her to wear an eight-figure jade pendant?
The other three: ...Thinking about it carefully, it does make a little bit of sense.
People in the audience kept bidding, and the price of the jade pendant had already soared to 21 million.
Ning Yan immediately raised her paddle: "Thirty million!"
"Guest number 78 has offered 30 million. Is there any other bid?"
"32 million." It was a female voice, and the voice came from the second floor.
Ning Yan continued to raise the price: "40 million."
The woman's voice upstairs sounded somewhat familiar: "41 million."
41.5 million.
Huang Yuyan came here today to buy her older brother a birthday present. After looking around, she took a fancy to this jade pendant. Her brother wouldn't be interested in anything too cheap. Her budget was only 30 million. She could scrape together 40 million, but she couldn't come up with any more than that at the moment. After all, she was just a high school student, and having that much pocket money was already quite a lot.
Just when she thought she was sure she could get the jade pendant, someone else intervened. Not only did they bid so aggressively, but they also seemed to know her bottom line. This time, they only increased their bid by 500,000!
Is she really going to lose because of this 500,000?
42 million.
Ning Yan continued to raise her paddle, adding only 500,000 each time, and soon the price reached 46 million.
The girl who came with Huang Yuyan saw that she was going to raise the price again and quickly stopped her, "Yan Yan, don't raise it anymore. Even if I lend you all my pocket money, we still can't afford that much. Why don't you choose a different gift?"
Huang Yuyan looked down at the audience in anger and happened to see Ning Yan looking up at her. "You just wait and see."
Her voice was very soft, and Ning Yan, who was downstairs, definitely couldn't hear it, but Ning Yan could read her lips. Ning Yan gave her a provocative smile, "If you're so capable, keep raising the price; if you're not, then shut up!"
"Forty-six million once, forty-six million twice, forty-six million sold!"
Ning Yan got up and went backstage to complete the formalities, and soon she had the jade pendant in her possession.
Seeing her return, Su Mengmeng quietly asked her, "Can we leave now?"
For her, staying any longer meant that her deskmate would have to spend money.
She spends money way too much.
Ning Yan: "What's the rush? Let's wait a bit longer."
The ninth item has been sold, and now it's the tenth item, a landscape painting by a certain master. The starting price was 6.5 million, and Ning Yan immediately bid 10 million.
Sure enough, a bid came from VIP room number four upstairs: "12 million."
Someone nearby commented, "Master Lu's paintings are worth at most ten million; anything more would be a loss."
Ning Yan put down the sign.
The painting was quickly sold for twelve million.
Huang Yuyan, inside VIP Box No. 4, said smugly, "If you're so capable, why don't you try and take it from me? Weren't you very arrogant just now?"
Her cousin sighed helplessly. "People buy what they like, and they're willing to spend more money. You also spent a lot of money on something, but it's not what you like."
After that, Ning Yan remained quiet. The sixteenth item was a watch from the top brand Burberry, featuring a minute repeater, perpetual calendar, and single-button chronograph. Most importantly, it had a titanium case and was made by Only Watch seven years ago. Only one of these watches existed, and the starting bid was 15 million.
Ning Yan immediately raised her paddle, and another bid came from the second floor, raising the price to 20 million.
It seems like they're determined to win.
Other customers were also bidding, but they were all very rational, increasing their bids by one million at a time.
Even so, the price quickly reached 38 million.
Ning Yan bid another forty million. (End of Chapter)
