It’s no wonder the bosses were surprised, as the fierce competition at the Xiao auction in previous years was still fresh in their memory.
The reserve price is tens of millions, but with the bidding of wealthy bosses, the price can sometimes reach as high as one or two hundred million.
The big guys can afford to spend 100 million or 200 million to buy a collection, but they can't bear to spend any amount, no matter how many there are.
So basically everyone only bought one or two items when they entered the venue, and they found it very interesting to hear the girl's outburst of words.
When the shipping tycoon who was closest caught a glimpse of Ye Lan's appearance, a look of amazement flashed across his eyes. He then smiled and greeted Tang Sinian, "Is this your child?"
"Mr. Xu." Tang Sinian returned the greeting before explaining, "Miss Ye is my grandfather's friend. She's here to help."
He didn't care about taking advantage of Ye Lan, after all, the other party was still an ancient warrior.
Hearing this, Mr. Xu was shocked again, his mouth opened even wider than before. After a moment, he took the initiative to hand Ye Lan his business card.
"Ms. Ye, my name is Xu, and I hope we can be friends."
Ye Lan looked over and saw the other person's face. His brows furrowed slightly, and he reached out to take the business card. "Hello, Ye Lan."
After exchanging names, the other party did not bother me anymore and sat back in his seat very tactfully.
A few more people greeted him, and soon Ye Lan had a stack of business cards in his hand.
These are all nationally renowned business tycoons, and each one of them is an important figure.
However, these people did not look down on Ye Lan because of her young age. Instead, when they realized the unusual relationship between her age and Tang Hede, they keenly caught the message and extended an olive branch.
By the time Ye Lan had almost finished reading the booklet in his hand, the auction officially began.
"Thank you all for coming to the Xiao family's first auction this year. The first lot is a cedar fossil from an uninhabited equatorial island. The starting price is 30 million."
The host on the stage gave a brief introduction and then stepped aside, allowing the waiter to show the items in his hand.
Cedar fossil.
The condensation of billions of years of time exists in an ice field with abnormal temperature. Fresh plankton can still be found under a microscope. This is the research material that biotechnology researchers have been seeking all their lives.
Almost at the same time, several people in the audience started bidding.
It soon rose to 50 million.
This is the peak value of a fossil. If it is higher, it would be counterproductive.
The highest bidder slowly put down his sign, already full of confidence that the item was within his grasp.
Then the next second, I saw a number plate raised in the middle position right in front.
No. 7.
"Miss No. 7 is bidding 55 million. Is there anyone else who would like to bid?"
At first, no one noticed this brand.
"Number 19, 60 million."
"Number 7, 65 million."
…
"Number 7, 90 million."
After several rounds of bidding, the price was raised to nearly 100 million yuan, and everyone in the venue finally set their sights on the number plate.
The girl sat under the dazzling crystal chandelier, wearing the simplest white sportswear, but her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her temperament was cool and elegant, and she did not seem cramped at all.
The number plate she raised without hesitation every time echoed her calm and indifferent profile, showing her unparalleled dominance.
"Ninety million, is there anyone who can offer a higher price?"
The trader repeated the question three times on the stage and finally dropped the gavel.
Sitting in the back, a bioengineering tycoon slumped in his chair, threw down his sign, and couldn't figure it out. "I didn't hear anyone trying to snatch this thing tonight. Who is that little girl?"
"I'm not sure, it seems he came with the Tang family in the imperial capital." The distance was too far, and the people sitting next to him didn't know either.
"The Tang family? Is the Tang family so wealthy that they can spend a fortune on the Xiao family?" The bioengineering boss was very depressed.
The person sitting next to him smiled and comforted him, "Maybe some young man is trying to impress his girlfriend and taking pictures for fun. You can just buy a piece of jewelry and exchange it with them later."
The boss sighed, feeling a little bad, "This is the only way."
Xiao's auction is different from others. Basically, the species are rare and the asking price is high, so over time, the bosses have formed a tacit understanding with each other.
Communicate privately before shooting to reduce competition and bidding.
Everyone thought the first lot was just an accident.
Even Tang Sinian didn't expect Ye Lan to be so generous.
"Do you like this fossil very much?" he tilted his head and asked the girl.
Ye Lan turned the sign in his hand and said, "Not bad."
Tang Sinian: “…”
He spent 90 million just to say "it's okay". How rich is he?
However, what shocked him even more was yet to come.
As the auction progressed, more and more items were auctioned. Apart from ornamental items such as antiques and calligraphy and paintings, "No. 7" could be seen on almost all objects of research value.
Moreover, once the number 7 sign is raised, it will be auctioned to the end and will never be missed.
Seeing that the last piece of blood ginseng was also put into the other party's bag, a man in the corner wanted to stand up angrily, but was stopped by someone next to him.
"Don't be impulsive, this is Xiao's."
As soon as the word "Xiao" came out of his mouth, the man regained his composure, but he still stared at the silhouette of the girl in the middle with gritted teeth, "I can't let her take the blood ginseng away."
There was a hint of cruelty in his words.
My friend pondered calmly, "Overall, she's spent nearly 1 billion yuan on the auction. The items are diverse and span many professional fields. Given her age, it's impossible for her to need all of them, and she may not even be able to come up with the money."
