"Oh? You may leave!" Mario Pocaré stood up. Through a small window, he saw Zhang Hongmei outside.
"Hehe, sixty-five is fine with a beauty like this!" He really didn't take the McCann family seriously, but seeing Zhang Hongmei, he thought a little less was fine! He'd get to know this beautiful lady in a bit.
Looking at Zhang Hongmei's satisfied smile, Carlos knew that he shouldn't give her gifts or jewelry in the future; she would definitely like these works of art.
With the sheep's head secured, Zhang Hongmei felt relieved and was finally able to focus on watching the rest of the auction.
Next was another plot of land in the city center, but this time Wyatt didn't continue filming, which puzzled Zhang Hongmei.
The Beths were also puzzled; why wasn't Wyatt being filmed? The countdown was almost over, and Zhang Hongmei was getting anxious. Just then, Carlos raised his paddle. In the end, he won the bid for the fifty-acre plot of land for one million.
It's already 10 o'clock. I wonder what items are still up for auction?
Wyatt breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Carlos shoot. At the same time, he was incredibly angry. His good father, how could he tell him to give up?
That's true. Does the Roy family want this land? It would be fine if it really belonged to the family, but this is for my eldest brother personally. How could I be willing to accept that?
Thankfully, Carlos is in the bag. I wonder what kind of expressions my dad and that nice older brother will have when we get back; I'm really looking forward to it.
I didn't originally plan to go back to the old house today, but haha, for the sake of the show, I'll go back anyway.
The auction progressed slowly. And the last item up for auction was actually a dragon head?!
Zhang Hongmei couldn't sit still any longer. This must be the real national treasure!
He moved closer to Beth and said, "Godfather, we absolutely have to take a picture of this!"
"Yes, don't worry."
It's almost the end, and I never expected this to be the grand finale! So everyone's totally confused.
Fortunately, the beautiful woman who was being auctioned went down. Mario Pocaré came up himself.
"Good evening, everyone. I will be in charge of the last item up for auction."
As everyone knows, the dragon is the most revered animal in China. Moreover, the dragon carries immense symbolic significance. The highest ruler of China is called the "Son of Heaven, the True Dragon." In other words, the dragon holds profound meaning.
The starting bid for this item is 1.5 million. Those interested can participate; let's begin.
When Zhang Hongmei heard the price, her heart sank. It would cost at least three million!
Beth patted her hand again. She looked very calm.
Despite the high starting price, there were still quite a few bidders. Bass didn't make a move within ten minutes. The price had already reached 2.6 million.
Zhang Hongmei took a deep breath. "If I gain it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate. Let nature take its course."
Mario Pocaré, standing at the front desk, had been observing Zhang Hongmei. He found the girl's sudden composure quite amusing, and his smile deepened.
At this price, many people gave up.
"Does anyone else have any bids? With such a wonderful meaning, and being made of pure gold with such vivid details, this is a top-tier collectible. I guarantee it will increase in value more than tenfold within ten years."
After Mario Pocaré's instigation, prices began to rise slowly.
The price has now reached 3.2 million, and it has entered a period of stagnation again.
Beth calmly wrote down 3.3 million and held up the sign.
Those behind breathed a sigh of relief when they saw the old patriarch of the McCann family get involved.
Honestly, the price of this dragon head is really too high right now. Looking at the beautiful Asian girl beside him, I even think it's better not to get involved.
Mario Pocaré saw the price of the bass and laughed happily.
"Mr. Beth McKen offered 330. Anyone bidding higher? I'll start counting now, so don't wait until he gets it and then regret it!"
Only after the hammer fell did Zhang Hongmei finally feel relieved.
I received it. Although the price was much higher, I can still accept it.
"Congratulations, Mr. Beth McKenzie, please come up to the stage."
Beth stood up, turned around, smiled at the people behind her, and didn't say anything. But she bent her arm and glanced at Zhang Hongmei.
She immediately understood what Beth meant, stood up, took his arm, and the father and daughter slowly walked onto the stage.
"Hongmei, will you go on stage in a bit and say a few words of thanks?"
"I understand, Godfather."
Mario Bocar, watching Zhang Hongmei approach, thought she was even more beautiful; she was truly a pure angel!
The father and daughter released each other, and Mario Bocar extended his hand, "Congratulations again to Mr. Beth McKen."
"Thank you. It is our honor to have Mr. Mario Pocaré personally oversee the auction."
Zhang Hongmei disliked foreign etiquette, so she took the initiative to extend her hand.
Mario Pocaré, who actually wanted a hug, saw through Zhang Hongmei's little scheme and secretly smiled. "That's good," he thought, "a conservative girl is more suitable to be a wife."
He didn't do anything else in this situation, but he also reached out his hand, clasped his hands together, and felt the smoothness in his hands.
Zhang Hongmei withdrew her hand, a forced smile on her face, and said, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Mario Pocaré."
“I am also very happy to meet the eldest daughter of the McCann family.”
At the boss's signal, the staff brought over the faucet tray.
Zeng Zhongkang looked at him and said, "Carlos, I'll go up and take him."
"OK."
Zeng Zhongkang took a few steps onto the stage and stood behind Zhang Hongmei, while the staff also stood behind Mario Pocaré.
“Mr. McCann, Miss, these are yours.”
Zeng Zhongkang stepped forward and took the tray. Then he stepped back behind Zhang Hongmei.
"Thank you, Mr. Mario Pocaré. Please let me know if you come across any similar artworks in the future. My daughter loves them."
"Of course, if the beautiful Miss McKen likes it, I will do my best. I also know the whereabouts of the rabbit head, monkey head, and chicken head. In order to gain Miss McKen's favor, I have decided to personally go and get them for her."
"Thank you, Mr. Mario Pocaré, for your trouble."
The three exchanged a few more pleasantries. Just as they were about to descend the stairs, Zhang Hongmei turned to the people below and bowed, saying, "Thank you everyone!"
There's no need to spell it out. Everyone knows that the eldest daughter of the McCann family is aware of this. That's good enough.
The three of them stepped off the stage, and a staff member brought them a box. Zeng Zhongkang carefully put it inside.
The auction was drawing to a close. It was already eleven o'clock. Everyone exchanged brief greetings; Beth had received the most congratulations this morning. Those who had made purchases collected their items and went home.
