Feiyang Auction House is the largest auction company in Jiang City.
Every time a large auction is held, it will attract wealthy people from all over Jiang City. If there are good goods, it will also attract a lot of wealthy people from other places. It is always very lively.
Fang Ziyang did not come alone today. In addition to Fang Qianhao, who was euphemistically called "accompanying and caring", there were also Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu.
If he wanted to buy the piece of land in the western suburbs under Fang Yandong's nose, he couldn't do it alone. He had to bring in the Zhou and Zhao families as a cover, otherwise he couldn't explain why he had so much money.
Anyway, the three of them were well-known "stupid" rich second-generations in the circle, so it was normal for them to buy a piece of waste land on a whim.
In order to give Fang Yandong a "surprise", Fang Ziyang dressed up nicely today.
Not only are all his clothes and shoes the latest brands, but he also has a variety of cuffs, collar buttons, and collar clips. A watch inlaid with diamonds is a must, and flashy red ear studs are a must!
In short, be as showy as possible and as dazzling as possible, just make sure you can embarrass Fang Yandong.
When we arrived at the auction entrance, we saw rows of reporters waiting there.
Fang Ziyang even shook off Fang Qianhao who was trying to stop him and rushed forward, posing in various ways with an excited expression.
I believe he will be the headline of all entertainment news tomorrow!
Fang Qianhao was almost pissed off by what he saw.
He finally understood why his father insisted on having him come along. His stupid brother was acting stupid and crazy all the time!
"Fang Ziyang, what are you going crazy about? Are you mentally ill? We are not public figures, nor are we celebrities. There is no need for us to be on camera everywhere, and there is no need to pose specially. You are really embarrassing, don't you know that?"
Fang Qianhao felt that he could imagine tomorrow's entertainment news headlines about their Fang family.
But the stupid brother didn't seem to understand what he meant at all.
"Shameful? Why is it shameful? How rare is it that the young master of our Fang family is willing to show his face and post photos? Didn't our group's public image suffer a lot because of my live broadcast? I am trying to redeem myself now, and you actually say that I am shameful?"
Fang Ziyang looked down on him, "Fang Qianhao, since you are so stupid from studying that you don't know how to help your father, then stop making trouble all the time. You are really a flower in an ivory tower, ignorant of the sufferings of the world."
Fang Qianhao: ...
Fang Qianhao was really about to faint from anger. How could this idiot who knew nothing have the nerve to say that he was ignorant of the sufferings of the world?
He felt that he really couldn't be too tactful when talking to this stupid brother.
"Fang Ziyang, you are hopeless. Do you know how ostentatious you are now? The watches and accessories on your body are so dazzling that they can blind people's eyes. Tomorrow, our Fang family will definitely be on the headlines of entertainment gossip. I have even thought of a name for you! [Shocking! There is no shortage of nouveau riche young masters in the world!]"
Although the Fang family is rich, they have only been wealthy for a few decades, and most of their personal connections are maintained by money, which is indeed the standard for nouveau riche.
Fang Yandong loves face the most and hates this kind of description very much, so he has very strict requirements on etiquette at home. Even though he doesn't like his youngest son, he still hired a good etiquette teacher and public relations image teacher to teach him to avoid embarrassing him.
When Fang Ziyang went out today, he was wearing a well-known brand, not custom-made, which made Fang Yandong a little dissatisfied, but there was no time to change the style temporarily, so he could only make do with it. Fang Qianhao didn't notice anything wrong.
But who knew that Fang Ziyang actually carried those diamond cuffs, collar buttons, collar clips, etc. with him and wore them on the road!
As a result, his younger brother now appears in front of people as a nouveau riche, and Fang Qianhao is too late to stop him.
"Fang Ziyang, take off all these diamond collar buttons and collar clips immediately. The most important thing is this red ear stud. This color doesn't suit you!" It's too flashy.
Fang Qianhao had a tough attitude.
But it would be strange if Fang Ziyang listened to him.
"Why is it not suitable? It's obviously very beautiful. Fang Qianhao, are you just jealous that I have the money to buy these things, and you are too poor and feel unfair, so you are deliberately finding fault?"
"If I really take these things and go inside, people will think tomorrow that our Fang family is going bankrupt and we can't even afford a few pieces of jewelry. Then my father will definitely lecture me for being immature...wait!"
At this point, Fang Ziyang seemed to understand something and suddenly became angry.
"Fang Qianhao, I understand. You just want me to make a mistake and be hated by my father! You are such a shameless villain. How could I have a brother like you? You are so mean."
Fang Qianhao's face was shocked.
What kind of logic is this stupid brother of his! How come he doesn't know when he came up with such a 'smart' idea!
Some people around had heard the noise and looked over.
In public, Fang Qianhao wanted to argue.
But at this moment, Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu also arrived. They were also dressed like flashy roosters, covered in sparkling diamond jewelry, and ran over excitedly.
"Zi Yang, you're here so early? Your clothes look so nice today. I can't even buy this limited edition one!"
"The watch and earrings are beautiful too. You were the first thing I saw when I got off the car!"
The two were very happy and looked at their friends' outfits with envy.
The people around him twitched their lips when they heard this.
Fang Qianhao felt that the gazes from people around him were burning. He was too embarrassed to walk with Fang Ziyang anymore. He didn't want to appear in the same entertainment photo with this stupid brother tomorrow!
Without even saying a word of warning, Fang Qianhao turned around and left angrily, forgetting Fang Yandong's words that he should watch over him.
It's so embarrassing! It's simply unreasonable!
Wait until he is far away.
Fang Ziyang, Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu got to know each other and burst into laughter that only the three of them could understand. Then they walked into the auction venue together with a bold step that showed they didn't recognize any relatives.
Along the way, the three of them attracted a lot of attention.
The crowd had different expressions, some were shocked, some were laughing, and some were covering their mouths. But Fang Ziyang and the other two looked straight ahead, as if they didn't notice the ridicule around them. They even acted as if everyone was envious and amazed. They puffed out their chests with great confidence. They were as stupid as they could be.
Someone who recognized their identities deliberately stopped Fang Qianhao and started gossiping.
Fang Qianhao couldn't get rid of him. Since he was already embarrassed, he was not afraid of being embarrassed even more. He just said helplessly,
"You all know what kind of personality my brother has had since he was a child. My father loves him the most, and I can't control him even if he wants to act recklessly. Let alone this little thing now, he brought more than 2 billion to squander today, and my father let him do it, just for his happiness..."
"Ah, I heard that he sold his antique jade collection for 2.3 billion. Does your father really let him spend this money? Did he come here today to bid for the Hong Corporation's agency rights?"
"That's not the case. Even if he bids, Hong Corporation won't dare to sell them. My brother wants to bid for those raw jade stones. He wants to open a jewelry store. You better not argue with him later, otherwise my brother will definitely catch you and won't let you go..."
With just a few simple words, he attributed all of Fang Ziyang's embarrassing behavior to his own willfulness, and absolved himself of responsibility for his brother's incompetence.
By the way, I'd like to say hello to those who want to buy raw jade stones to prevent any accidents from happening during the auction later.
Fang Ziyang prepared 2.3 billion yuan for the auction, but all the raw jade stones were not worth the price, and no one would be stupid enough to waste money to grab them.
Everyone had an idea in mind.
He kept shaking his head at Fang Ziyang, the young master of the Fang family, what a spendthrift and stupid son. Fang Yandong really loved his youngest son too much.
Fang Ziyang heard all kinds of pessimistic voices and shaking heads, but he didn't care. Instead, he was very happy.
There is no doubt that Fang Qianhao is a genius but a pig teammate. Does he think this is suppressing him? Little did he know what consequences this would bring to Fang Yandong in the future. When Fang Yandong's intention to praise him to death was completely revealed, all his stupid behavior became ironclad evidence.
Although Fang Yandong hopes that he will be a waste, he does not want him to be too high-profile. However, Fang Qianhao does not understand his father's intentions at all.
The auction officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening.
Before that, everyone will wait in the buffet lounge area specially prepared at the venue, meet and greet familiar friends, and take a look at the list of items to be auctioned later so that the bidding will go more smoothly.
At 7:40, people started to enter the auction hall one after another.
Although Fang Qianhao didn't want to embarrass himself by staying with him, the venue seats had been booked in advance and could not be changed. Considering what his father had told him, he could only come back and sit together again in frustration.
"snort!"
They had just had an argument, and Fang Ziyang was in a bad mood towards him. When he saw him, he snorted and had no intention of saying anything more.
Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu also showed disdain and firmly stood on the successful side.
Fang Qianhao was irritated by Fang Ziyang's attitude again. Although his relationship with Fang Ziyang was not good, he was Fang Ziyang's brother after all. It was really hateful that this guy didn't give him face in public.
"Fang Ziyang, just wait, I will tell Dad about your misbehavior today when I get back!"
Fang Qianhao was so angry that he uttered some vicious words.
But before Fang Ziyang could open his mouth to retort, a person sitting in the back row spoke first.
"Sir, please be quiet, this is not your home."
The sudden voice carried a strong power that startled people.
Fang Ziyang and others looked back after hearing what was said.
The person who was speaking was a very handsome young man, who looked to be only about twenty years old, but his temperament and aura were much better than Fang Qianhao, a man of the same age.
For example, an elite who has been in society for a long time can make a person with immature psychological quality fall into an inferior position with just a cold look.
Fang Qianhao's anger at being interrupted was immediately suppressed. The young man's cold gaze made his throat dry and he couldn't speak.
However, when he looked at Fang Ziyang, there seemed to be a hint of warmth in the other party's cold eyes, and he nodded slightly at him.
It’s an act of radiating kindness.
Fang Ziyang was slightly stunned, then smiled in return, "I'm sorry sir, my elder brother's brain is not working very well, I'm sorry to bother you..."
Fang Qianhao, who had a bad brain, almost vomited blood.
The handsome young man pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses and smiled as if he heard something interesting.
He nodded very good-naturedly, his voice gentle, "It's okay. In that case, do you need my help? I have a habit of carrying a personal doctor with me at all times. He also deals with neurology."
"Puff"
Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu couldn't help but burst out laughing. Where did this guy come from? His mouth is even more poisonous than Zi Yang's.
Fang Ziyang couldn't help laughing. The person in front of him was really interesting.
But Fang Qianhao was really furious. He stood up and angrily said to the young man,
"Who are you? What does it have to do with you when I talk to my brother? Why do you have to mind your own business?"
As the eldest son of one of the richest families in Jiang City, he had never met anyone who dared to speak to him so disrespectfully, especially in public. He had suffered a lot of anger in a row, and now even an outsider came to provoke him. It would be strange if he could control his temper.
Although Fang Qianhao has a good reputation in the circle and is the kind of child that elders often praise, in fact Fang Qianhao has a bad temper and is even richer than some rich second generations.
In the book, Fang Qianhao’s character is that of a domineering and cool prince, and it’s so cool to slap cannon fodder in the face.
However, today he hit a wall.
No matter how the plot describes how powerful the identity of the eldest son of the Fang family is, in fact, this identity is only useful in the circle of Jiang City. Outside of Jiang City, no one knows what the Fang family is.
The handsome young man had no intention of arguing with Fang Qianhao, and he calmly pressed the call button on the chair.
The security guard in charge of maintaining order at the venue immediately rushed over and stared at Fang Qianhao with an unfriendly look.
"Young gentleman, if you need anything please tell us, please don't make a scene in the venue."
Feiyang Auction House is more than just an auction house, it also has a strong background. The Fang family’s background alone is not enough to disrupt order in the venue.
Fang Qianhao had no choice but to glare at the young man hatefully and sit down again.
And the handsome young man didn't take his threats and anger seriously from beginning to end, and his calmness was infuriating.
Fang Ziyang withdrew his gaze, feeling a little strange.
He didn't know this person, why would he help him? Moreover, this person made him feel particularly strange. It wasn't that he was bad, but rather he felt particularly close to him.
strangeness.
However, he was very happy that Fang Qianhao could be humiliated.
…
After calming down and putting aside the previous incident, the auction started on time at eight o'clock.
There are a lot of items for auction today, including jewelry, antiques, jade, art collections, land... and so on. Precisely because there are so many items and they are good enough, there are so many wealthy people coming here today.
With the auctioneer's encouragement, the items were sold one by one, and the transaction prices were very good.
Soon, the auction items arrived at several pieces of jade raw stones. They were very large and very eye-catching. The auctioneer introduced them very excitedly.
"...The stones you see now are among the most important items in our venue today. These huge stones are not ordinary jade ores, but were dug out from an old jade mine in the southwest that was only developed two years ago."
"After being appraised by several professionals, there is a 90% chance of finding a giant imperial jadeite. Of course, there is also a 10% chance of losing out, but as the saying goes, one cut can make you poor, another cut can make you rich, and this is the market for jade..."
"So the employer who provided these rough stones finally set the starting price at 100 million yuan. Interested friends can bid now."
The starting price is not high. After all, no matter how great the expert is, if the raw stone is not cut, it may become waste.
Although there are many wealthy people present, and they are not short of hundreds of millions to squander, no one is a fool. Being rich may be rich, but everyone knows how to spend the money.
Considering what Fang Qianhao had said to the outside world before, not many people came to bid.
"With just these few people, Zhou Junjingyu, it looks like I'm going to get a bargain today..."
When Fang Ziyang saw the situation at the auction, he couldn't help but smile with relief, looking naive as if he was about to make a fortune in a simple way.
Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu agreed very cooperatively, "Yes, hurry up, Ziyang, just pay 1 billion, don't let them waste their time, I think these rough stones will definitely produce green, we must make a fortune."
"OK!"
Fang Ziyang didn't even think about it and just stupidly held up the sign.
Three typical stupid sons of landlords.
Seeing this situation, Fang Qianhao finally felt much better. No matter how good Fang Ziyang is at talking, he is still a fool after all. Once he helps his father get the money back, he will make sure his father rewards him well.
With his hands folded, Fang Qianhao waited with a leisurely expression.
The bidding for rough stones continues.
After Fang Ziyang bid 1 billion, the voices of bidding gradually became fewer and fewer. When the price rose to 1.2 billion, only the voices of Fang Ziyang and a middle-aged man were left.
Fang Ziyang's happy expression also disappeared and he became ugly and angry.
He complained angrily, "Who is that uncle? Is he deliberately competing with me? Every time he raises the price, he raises the lowest price!"
Zhou Jun and Zhao Jingyu were also very angry and nodded, "This person must have done it on purpose, Ziyang, why don't we just forget about it? Good raw stones are not only available here. At worst, we can just spend a little more money and buy the good jadeite directly."
Although some of the raw stones are large in size and in good condition, the price has already reached 12, and it would not be cost-effective if the price goes up further.
Fang Ziyang nodded, looking like he thought it made sense.
However, Fang Qianhao was shocked. These raw stones were specially prepared for his stupid brother. The middle-aged man also found a good agent in order to raise the price and get the money back from his stupid brother at one time.
How can we just give up like this? It’s only 1.2 billion now!
Fang Qianhao hurriedly spoke, even changing his address, "No, we can't stop, little brother, we can't give up. If we give up at this time, others will definitely laugh at us. Our family has been embarrassed enough today..."
"Why can't you just give up? Even if the price of those raw stones goes up, I'll lose a lot if they turn out to be waste stones."
Fang Ziyang puffed up his cheeks and huffed, "Fang Qianhao, just tell me, you just can't stand seeing me get better? You're just hoping that I'll buy some scrap stones!"
"Little brother!"
Fang Qianhao was extremely angry, but he had to coax her, "Little brother, even though we quarrel all the time and have a bad relationship, you are still my brother after all. How can I watch you lose money? I have asked someone about those rough stones, and they are definitely worth a 100% bet on."
"real?"
Fang Ziyang was skeptical.
Fang Qianhao nodded repeatedly and thought of a clever idea in a hurry, "Of course, otherwise why would I accompany you today? Do you really think I listen to my father? I get angry when I see you! If you think it's too expensive, let's buy this stone together. You bid first, and I will give you all my savings when I go back, but you have to give me half of the money you make..."
It sounds like a good idea indeed.
Fang Ziyang showed a look of contempt, "Haha, Fang Qianhao, you always say that I am a money-grubber, but you are not much better. Well, well, since you said so, I will take a picture of the stone. Remember to pay me back later. We bought it together."
"Of course, of course."
Fang Qianhao agreed quickly.
Fang Ziyang didn't say anything else and continued bidding. He bid very happily and his confidence soared. He seemed determined to buy the stone.
The guests present all looked sideways.
The auctioneer was even more excited. "1.8 billion! 1.8 billion! This young man bid 1.8 billion. It seems that he is very optimistic about these rough stones. But it is true that our auction house has invited several appraisers to appraise them. There is a 90% chance of an increase in value. These are super imperial jadeite. How can I justify myself if I don't take a gamble!"
"Sir, would you like to raise your price? If not, you may miss out on several pieces of super imperial jadeite!"
The auctioneer's job is to drive up the price of the item being sold, the higher the better, and naturally he will encourage this no matter how big the deal.
The middle-aged man who had been bidding against Fang Ziyang over there could not tolerate such words if he was wealthy and proud.
No surprise.
The middle-aged man over there seemed to be stimulated, and immediately raised the sign again, "1.9 billion!"
boom.
The atmosphere at the auction was ignited to a new climax by this number, and everyone was watching this money game with excitement.
"How abominable! This guy really wants to force himself on me!"
Fang Ziyang was furious, his breathing became unstable, and his competitive spirit seemed to be completely aroused.
Fang Qianhao was happy at heart, but pretended to be worried on the surface. "This... there are so many. Brother, why don't we just forget about it? Even if these stones are really valuable, they are estimated to be worth more than 2 billion yuan. It's not worth it."
But with the temper of the young master of the Fang family, can he listen to these words?
Fang Ziyang suddenly got angry and glared, "Fang Qianhao, you coward! Just now you said that you can't lose face, and now you tell me to stop. Are you kidding me? You are not the one who is embarrassed, so you don't care, right? I must take pictures of these rough stones today, and no one is allowed to compete with me!"
After saying.
He raised his number plate again and shouted directly, "2.1 billion!"
"Oh, my God, 2.1 billion! This young gentleman bid 2.1 billion! Sir, what about you? Do you want to increase the price? If you don't, then these rough stones belong to this young gentleman..."
The auctioneer roared with excitement.
Everyone also looked towards the middle-aged man, thousands of fiery gazes.
The bidding has come to this point. It is no longer a simple auction, but a matter of face.
So, as everyone held their breath.
The middle-aged man also showed a very unconvinced expression, glared at Fang Ziyang fiercely, and sneered provocatively, "2.2 billion!"
The auctioneer looked at Fang Ziyang again and repeated his words of persuasion.
"2.2 billion, young man, would you like to raise the price? If you give up, the rough stone will belong to you..."
The invisible smell of ** permeated the air.
Fang Qianhao clenched his fists excitedly and breathed heavily.
Almost there, just a little bit more...
Everyone's eyes fell on Fang Ziyang again, with the same fiery gaze, and everyone was waiting for his answer.
Then.
Then Fang Ziyang became silent.
Everyone's heart was pounding, and the middle-aged man who was bidding was holding on to his stool nervously.
But Fang Ziyang just didn't make any sound.
Fang Qianhao suddenly felt something was wrong and pushed his brother's arm, asking with rapid breathing, "Little brother, say something, everyone is waiting for you..."
However, Fang Ziyang did not raise the bidding card as he wished.
Instead, he angrily shouted at the auctioneer on the stage,
"What are you waiting for me for? I'm not going to shoot this anymore! If he wants to give it to him, just give it to him! It's just a few pieces of jadeite rough stones. I'll go to the old mine and pick up a lot more later!"
The words fell.
The middle-aged man who was bidding turned pale and sweated profusely on the spot.
Fang Qianhao's voice suddenly changed, "Little brother, how can you stop filming? Didn't we agree on this?!"
"What's so good about that? Although our family is rich, we don't spend money like this."
Fang Ziyang looked disdainful, "Fang Qianhao, why do I feel like you're getting more and more stupid? I don't think there's anything wrong with my brain if I spend billions to buy face."
Fang Qianhao: ...
That's not what you just said, brother!
