Chapter 873: It is impossible to retreat
".The starting price is 50,000."
"52,000."
"53,000."
"54,000."
"55,000."
"60,000."
"65,000."
After the host finished his introduction, the auction began and several people made bids.
However, after the two young women at the first table joined the bidding, the rest of the people who wanted to bid put down their bidding cards.
Zhong Yunli of the Wachacha Group and Li Funong of Qiaofu Mineral Water, two daughters of group companies with a net worth of tens of billions, are definitely top socialites in Jiang Province. No one would compete with them for an ordinary necklace.
As the two people bid, the necklace, which was originally worth only 60,000 yuan, rose to 120,000 yuan.
Pang Dahai, who was originally encouraging the young man next to him to bid, stopped talking abruptly.
He was certainly not afraid that this young man would offend the two daughters of the billionaire group. He was even happy to see them suffer a setback. What he was afraid of was that the bidding price would really go up and he would not have that much cash to borrow.
Even though he said before that he had a net worth of three or four hundred million, that was after taking into account all the fixed assets, and the freely available liquid funds were only a few million at best.
Compared with those two young ladies, well, there is no comparison at all.
"125,000."
Looking at Miss Wang's considerate and gentle big eyes, Zhou Anan couldn't bear to reject her kindness and raised her hand to quote a price.
The price increase of 5,000 is naturally in line with the bidding range of the two previous young ladies, and it is impossible to increase it by more.
It is impossible for the hero to spend huge sums of money and pay dozens or even hundreds of times the premium to buy an item just to make the heroine smile, as in those idol dramas.
That only exists in the fantasy of fishing. If you really do that, you will be considered a fool with a lot of money.
The premium is just over double, Zhou Anan doesn't mind such a small amount of money. He just hopes that a big shot at the first table will not notice this insignificant little character like him.
"130,000."
"135,000."
When they heard someone bidding, Zhong Yunli and the other man didn't pay any attention, and didn't even look at it, and continued to raise the price.
For both of them, they are rivals.
Anyway, the extra money can be regarded as charity.
Without a premium, what's the point of this charity dinner.
The so-called necklace is just an excuse to make a reasonable donation.
The most important thing is not to lose to the opponent.
“.”
"How about we not do it?!"
Seeing the offer price going up all the way, Zhou Anan was somewhat speechless and looked at Miss Wang who was standing next to her with an innocent look on her face.
"Brother Zhou, your girlfriend is right. Those two are the daughters of the Wachacha Group and Qiaofu Mineral Water. There's no need for us to get angry. If you want to buy a necklace, you can go to the jewelry store later. If it's within 100,000, I'll help you pay for it."
Pang Dahai, who was standing next to him, took the opportunity to interject and say something, also showing off his wealth.
He was really afraid that this young man would be too arrogant and think he had made a little money, so he would not know the seriousness of the matter.
It's worth spending 100,000 to win the favor of that beautiful lady.
"No, thank you."
At this point, Zhou Anan would not back down and continued to hold up the sign: "200,000."
"Brother Zhou"
Compared to the 150,000 bid that was previously offered by Li Fenong, the price increased by 50,000 at once.
This time, both Zhong Yunli and the other person, who had not paid attention to the bidder before, turned their eyes to look over, including the guests at table 45 and several tables nearby.
From a fairly long distance away, they saw a middle-aged fat man with Mediterranean hair. When he saw them looking over, he covered his face with his fat hands.
Afterwards, Zhong Yunli and the other person turned their attention to the young man holding the sign.
"Zhou Anan???"
When they recognized the bidder's appearance, Zhong Yunli and the other man couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
Why did the CEO of Mingliu Group run to the back? Was he pretending to be low-key to pick up girls?
Looking at the beautiful girl sitting next to each other, the same thought came to their minds at the same time.
"Okay, congratulations to Mr. No. 4503 for winning the ** necklace provided by Fat Xiaofu Jewelry with a bid of 200,000."
Unlike the shopping mall rules of auction houses where the auction price is raised once, twice, or three times before the hammer falls, the bidding rules of tonight's charity gala are very simple. If no one else bids within one minute, the deal is done.
The many guests who originally thought it was just a small episode did not expect that the two daughters of the 10 billion yuan group would stop at the low price of 200,000 and give the seats to the young men from Table 45 who suddenly appeared.
For a moment, many eyes were once again focused on the young man and the very beautiful girl beside him.
"call."
"call."
Coincidentally, Zhou Anan and Pang Dahai next to her both breathed a sigh of relief.
The former noticed that a big shot at the first table was chatting with a Tai Chi master, but he didn't turn around to look at him. As for the looks of others, he didn't care.
Just be on camera. It’s a live broadcast on the Internet anyway. Only a few people will watch it, and the probability of acquaintances seeing it is basically very low.
The latter was entirely because the two young ladies did not continue to bid, so they did not have to worry about the previous verbal agreement and cause trouble for themselves.
However, based on the courage of this young man, Pang Dahai suddenly felt that it would be difficult to poach him.
"Oh"
Wei Baochuan, who had been keeping an eye on the other party from two tables away, couldn't help but chuckle when she saw how the other party made the two young ladies of the group give up.
The idea of letting the two second-generations next to him compete for the limelight flashed through Wei Baochuan's mind, but she only thought about it and never thought of putting it into practice.
We are all adults, don't treat each other as fools.
"Hey, Xia Xia, Xia Xia, come and take a look. Is this your Zhou An An???"
Far away in a room in Lucheng, Wang Min, who was eating an apple, saw a figure flash by on the computer screen and shouted excitedly in the direction of the bathroom.
Knowing that Zhou Anan went to Hangzhou, Wang Min took the opportunity to live in her good friend's three-bedroom, one-living-room house to avoid having to squeeze into a single apartment with three roommates.
Of course, it is inevitable to help the other party eliminate some fruits and so on, to prevent them from spoiling.
"Where?"
Shi Mingxia, who had just come out of the bathroom with a facial mask on, walked to the computer and happened to see the close-up of her boyfriend taken by the camera.
"Hey, isn't that the woman we met last time at Yintai? Her name is Wang what?"
Seeing the beautiful woman sitting next to Zhou Anan, Wang Min spoke with some confusion.
"Wang Xiaoxiao is An An's partner."
After correcting his friend's words, Shi Mingxia looked at the dazzling woman in a long dress, and an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
Perhaps, only in that way can she be worthy of her boyfriend's current achievements.
"Yes, it's Wang Xiaoxiao. She looks so beautiful in this outfit. I wonder if the dress is expensive?"
Without noticing the complicated look on his friend's face, Wang Min admired the other person's eye-catching outfit.
As for the deeper things, she didn't think much about it.
It was Zhou Anan himself who told them about going to Hangzhou to attend the charity gala, because Shi Mingxia did not agree to accompany him, and the other party also made it clear that a partner would be the female companion.
In this regard, Wang Min has a good evaluation of Zhou Anan and trusts her.
"You should just watch a TV show. It's just a charity party, what's so interesting about it?"
After patting the facial mask, Shi Mingxia said this in a nonchalant tone.
"Hehe, I'm just trying to help you find a boyfriend. You don't know how to appreciate a good person. By the way, your account is VIP, right? I heard that some new TV series will be online at 12 o'clock tonight. How about we stay up all night to watch them together?"
"I don't stay up that late. It will be the same tomorrow."
“How can it be the same?”
The host on the stage began to introduce the next item. Zhou Anan felt that the gazes from all around were leaving, and seeing that a certain big shot never looked at her, she finally felt relieved and even had the mood to talk to Pang Dahai next to her.
At this time, a young male secretary in a black suit came to the head table and whispered something in the ear of a middle-aged boss.
Then, the middle-aged boss turned his gaze to the side and rear.
