Chapter 405 The Weak Lu Yi
Soon, we arrived at the Saint-Face Auction House's "Pearl of the Orient" themed auction.
Prior to this, Saint-Face Auction House had made ample preparations, promoting the event through various channels.
After ensuring that everyone knew about the auction, they continued to release various tantalizing announcements.
After everyone's curiosity had been piqued to its peak, the grand auction finally began.
Lu Yi stood at the door, dressed simply and modestly, watching the luxury cars and beautiful women coming and going, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.
It seems Li Xun was right; without money, power, and their approval, one really couldn't get into this auction.
Just as Lu Yi observed, the auction was attended by prominent figures in the United States, who, if not the best in their respective fields, were at least highly accomplished.
After becoming wealthy, these people satisfied all their desires: luxury cars, mansions, beautiful women...
Once these desires were satisfied, they began to have even more desires, so they started to collect and invest in all sorts of things.
They have always been particularly enthusiastic about collecting items from China.
This country has a long history and countless fascinating cultural remnants, each of which may have its own story.
These items, once collected, will not likely depreciate in value like the works of the artists they idolize.
On the contrary, the longer the time, the higher the value. It is a sure-fire way to make money, so many smart businessmen choose to bid on their favorite items at such auctions.
On the one hand, it showcases one's artistic pursuits, and on the other hand, it's a sure-fire investment—why not?
Looking at the enthusiastic crowd, Lu Yi seemed to be talking to himself, and whispered, "These people won't be laughing later..."
As soon as Lu Yi finished speaking, a person appeared at the door; it was Li Xun.
After looking around for a while, Li Xun finally spotted Lu Yi standing at the door and quickly greeted him with a smile, "Brother, you're here? I've been waiting for you for ages, why didn't you come in yourself?"
Lu Yi smiled at him, "I just arrived and was just about to go in. Let's go."
"Hey! Brother, why didn't your wife come today?" Li Xun looked around a few times but didn't see Ye Ran who came with Lu Yi that day, and asked curiously.
"Oh! The child at home isn't used to the climate here and has gotten sick, so she's taking care of him at home." Lu Yi's tone carried a hint of worry.
Hearing this, Li Xun nodded in agreement, "It's normal to feel a little uncomfortable when you first arrive here, especially for the elderly and children. When my family first arrived here, we had the same experience, and it was quite a struggle!"
But don't worry, you'll recover quickly. You might not be used to the climate at first, but once you get used to it, you'll appreciate its advantages.
"So that's why you've lived here for so many years, bro?"
"Yes, I originally came here as a refugee, but now I truly feel that this place is great!"
"Brother, listen to my advice. Developing your career here will be a hundred times better than going back!" Li Xun said earnestly, as if he genuinely cared about Lu Yi.
Lu Yi twitched the corner of his mouth. "We'll see."
"Stop talking! Let me give you a heads-up! Several wealthy people over here have already expressed clear interest in your items."
Soon, you'll get a large sum of money. Once you have that money, what can't you do here?
Look here, the houses, the cars, everything is better than our dilapidated place.
