Chapter 21 Plan
The auction was very lively, with many people at the scene, but not many people came to the auction. Instead, there were a lot of media, almost filling the entire venue, and some people who came to watch the fun.
The three major families are the Lu family, the Zhou family, and the Xu family, which has the most say.
Their snobbery is not exaggerated casually. They form an iron triangle and dominate the medical field and other aspects. They monopolize almost all the most golden industries, making it difficult for others to intervene.
And because they have a strong foundation of nearly fifty years, no one dares to challenge their authority.
So Li Rongsen is the one who overestimates his own abilities, and An Yan is even more of a little brat.
Today, the Xu family was not present. It was the Lu and Zhou families who sent representatives because they were determined to get it. The Snow Lotus Purple must belong to them, and they did not expect that anyone would come to snatch it away.
Li Rongsen and An Yan chose to sit in the last row.
Lu and Zhou Er's family sat in the first row, forming a diagonal relationship with them.
The auctioneer had already started bidding, saying, "Five million starting bid. Begin."
"Six million." The Lu family raised the sign.
"Ten million." Li Rongsen said as he raised the sign.
"Fifteen million." The Lu family continued to snatch.
"Twenty million." Li Rongsen did not give in.
An Yan looked at her watch. She wanted to go home early to see An Cheng, so she said to Li Rongsen, "Be generous and just give them a base price."
Li Rongsen glanced at her and said, "One hundred million."
As soon as he said this, everyone was in an uproar. The flash lights kept hitting Li Rongsen's face, and everyone couldn't help whispering to each other.
"What a generous move! They raised the price to 100 million right away."
"To the people over there, one hundred million is nothing."
Just as he finished speaking, he heard the Lu family raise a sign again and said, "Two hundred million."
Li Rongsen remained expressionless. After a brief pause, he said, "Three hundred million.
An Yan was quite satisfied with this number, but she heard Li Rongsen say, "They said they wanted to take a picture of Snow Lotus Purple and use it as their signature product. They probably won't let it go so easily."
"Then don't let go and continue to bargain with them." An Yan disagreed.
"The company has only prepared this much money for bidding." Li Rongsen said. He is a businessman and when buying things, he looks at the value. As far as the current situation is concerned, the price is almost higher than the actual value of Snow Lotus Purple.
But An Yan didn't see it that way. When she heard the Lu family directly shout out 500 million, she said to Li Rongsen, "What are you afraid of? Fight them to the end."
"Then I'll just have to use my own pocket money."
"Just say 1 billion." An Yan said shamelessly.
Li Rongsen wasn't frightened. Instead, he laughed and said, "I'll become very poor if I do this. Will you be responsible for supporting me?"
"You have a fiancée, let her support you." An Yan knew he was joking, so she didn't make a big deal about it.
"I'm already a poor guy, of course my fiancée would run away." Li Rongsen said lightly.
The auctioneer was asking for the third time: "Five hundred million. If no one raises the price, it's a done deal."
"One billion." Li Rongsen raised the sign.
There was no sound from the Lu family. They were on the phone and I didn't know what they would do.
Li Rongsen whispered to An Yan, "I can add another 500 million. This is my private money."
At this time, someone from the Lu family was heard shouting, "1.5 billion."
Li Rongsen frowned. Just as he was about to raise the sign, An Yan stopped him. She said, "That's it. Let them have it."
"What do you mean? Don't you want Snow Lotus Purple?" Li Rongsen asked, then added, "I can still increase the price."
"If you add more, they won't add any more." An Yan stood up first, and Li Rongsen followed her and left the auction venue with her.
The weather outside is particularly good, with the sun shining brightly.
An Yan didn't get in the car and said to Li Rongsen, "It's not far from here to my home. I can just walk back."
"I want to take a walk too. Let's go together." Li Rongsen said as he got out of the car and followed her.
But before the two men had gone far, they were surrounded by a group of reporters. Someone asked, "Mr. Li, do you feel any regret today that you didn't get to take a picture of that rare purple snow lotus?"
"No one dares to snatch things from Mr. Xu's people. Does Mr. Li have any special plans?"
Li Rongsen had a headache, so he had to go back to the car, while An Yan walked back leisurely. She bought a cup of milk tea at a roadside milk tea shop, drank it while walking, and felt that life was very comfortable.
She turned a corner and planned to go to Hua Ye's place, so she bought some daily necessities on the way.
She didn't go in through the main gate, but climbed up the sycamore tree and climbed over the tree into the yard. She saw Hua Ye lying outside in the sun, with many low tables beside him, on which precious medicinal herbs were drying.
Hua Ye opened his eyes. He looked very weak and said, "My beloved disciple is here."
"We've already started the first step today. They should be very angry. Something that could have been done with five million has cost them 1.5 billion." An Yan sorted out some things and handed them to him, saying, "This won't hurt when you shave. You can use this from now on."
"I don't have much time left. It should be in the next few days." Hua Ye looked at An Yan with a smile and said, "Girl, we have only known each other for a few days, and I have to ask you to take care of my funeral. I am so sorry."
"You're my master, this is what you should do." An Yan bought a thick, soft cushion, immediately helped him up, and shoved him into his chair, saying, "Master, isn't this much more comfortable?"
There was a gentle light in Grandpa Hua's eyes. He said, "I always thought that my granddaughter was still alive. She was about your age, not much different."
"I'll help you find him once I finish the things at hand." An Yan promised him.
"I looked for her. The people at the orphanage said she was adopted. I also went to the family's house, but they said it wasn't true. I haven't heard anything about her since then." Hua Ye sighed and added, "She was a promising young girl. She could read ten lines at a glance since she was a child."
"You will find it." An Yan comforted him.
"As long as she's safe, I won't force myself to see her." Hua Ye seemed to be comforting himself. He handed over another thing and said, "Take a look at this. It's up to you whether you want to learn it or not. If you don't want to learn it, burn it. I created it yesterday."
An Yan took it and looked at it. Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a man's voice said, "Open the door, my master wants to see you."
"No." Hua Ye answered indifferently.
"It's none of your business." The man kicked the door open and a group of people followed him in.
An Yan had already put on her formal attire and a small felt hat, but she couldn't reveal her identity yet, so she dressed up as a man.
Hua Ye was a little worried about her and said, "You should leave quickly. They are so powerful and outnumbered. Don't get involved in this mess. I've already explained everything. My death is imminent anyway, so I'm not afraid of it happening two days sooner."
