Although Ye Fan's voice was silent, it was like a bomb that exploded in the ears of everyone present.
Thousands of times more expensive?!
Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils shrank sharply, their mouths opened into an "O" shape, enough to swallow their own fists, their faces looked like they had seen a ghost, and their hearts were filled with huge waves, and they were so surprised that they couldn't be more surprised.
Are you kidding?!
You know, this "Ocean Love" diamond necklace is worth a full 2 million.
Now Ye Fan said that the gift he prepared was thousands of times more expensive, wouldn't it be worth billions, or even tens of billions?
I’ve seen people showing off, but I’ve never seen anyone show off like this!
At this moment, in everyone's mind, if the Oscars set up an award for best showmanship, Ye Fan would definitely win the crown.
Suddenly, Zhao Chen glanced sideways at Ye Fan and said in a strange tone:
"Tsk tsk...I have never seen such an expensive gift before! Mr. Ye, stop hiding it and let us open our eyes!"
Others also shouted and urged Ye Fan to bring out the gifts, but their faces showed narrow smiles and had no good intentions.
Ye Fan didn't show off, took out a jade pendant from his pants pocket, handed it to Tang Anni, and said with a smile:
"Annie, happy birthday!"
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on this jade pendant.
Looking from a distance, I can see that it is as bright as a bright cloud, as smooth as a crisp, with a faint flow of brilliance inside, revealing the aura of a fairy.
At the Lucheng magic weapon auction, Ye Fan got a piece of purple rainbow glass jade, and used the "Heaven and Earth Furnace" weapon refining method taught by Mr. Wei to refine five pieces of protective jade pendants.
One of the pieces was bought at an auction by Sun Zisu, a descendant of the Sun family of Medicine King. Two pieces were given to Liu Yiyi, and one piece was given to Chu Mengyao after returning to Huahai.
There was still one piece left at the end, just in time for Annie Tang's birthday gift.
"Wow! What a beautiful jade pendant!"
Tang Anni's pretty face was full of joy that could not be concealed, and she carefully took the jade pendant.
In her heart, the jade pendant given by Ye Fan was more precious than all other gifts combined.
However, others looked at this jade pendant and couldn't help but complain:
"Although this jade pendant looks good, it is thousands of times more expensive than Brother Chen's diamond necklace. It's too exaggerated!"
"That's right! Even if it's glass imperial green, it's just a tiny bit in size, and it's only worth tens of millions to hold it to death!"
"Hmph... Although it's not illegal to brag, are you treating us like idiots?"
…
For a while, the sarcasm could not be heard.
Suddenly, there was a boy in the crowd, as if he had seen something incredible, his eyes flashed, and he walked quickly to Tang Anni.
"Annie...can you let me see this jade pendant?" he asked excitedly.
Hearing this, Tang Anni hesitated for a moment and then handed the jade pendant out.
The man took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully. The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he was admiring the rare treasure.
"Oh my god! Could it be... is this really that treasure?" the man exclaimed.
Hearing this, Zhao Chen frowned and subconsciously had a strong foreboding feeling. He couldn't help but ask: "Fan Jin, is there anything unusual about this jade pendant?"
Others in the venue also subconsciously looked at Fan Jin, looking forward to his answer.
The Fan family he belongs to is a well-known collecting family in Jinling, with a wide range of interests. The head of the Fan family is also known as "Iron-speaking" and is an authority in this industry.
Although Fan Jin is young, he is very knowledgeable, especially in the field of jade, and his attainments are not inferior to those of the older gentlemen.
After a while, Fan Jin carefully handed the jade pendant back to Tang Anni.
Because of extreme nervousness, his hands were still shaking a little.
It wasn't until Tang Anni took the jade pendant that Fan Jin breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to wipe his sweat, turned to look at Zhao Chen, and sighed:
"Mr. Zhao, if I'm not wrong, the value of this jade pendant is probably thousands of times more expensive than your diamond necklace!"
"boom!"
As soon as these words came out, it was like a huge stone smashing into the calm water, causing thousands of waves and causing an uproar in the venue.
"How can this be?!"
Zhao Chen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fan Jin, are you crazy? Do you know what you are talking about?"
If he didn't know Fan Jin's personality, Zhao Chen might have thought that he was a shill hired by Ye Fan.
As for other people in the venue, including Tang Anni, they were also extremely surprised. They never expected that Fan Jin would speak for Ye Fan.
"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!"
The next moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Jin, pushing him to the forefront.
If he doesn't give a reasonable explanation, he will never be able to convince the public.
…
Under the attention of everyone, Fan Jin slowly said: "Not long ago, an auction was held in Lucheng City, Jiangnan Province. Only rich people worth billions and those strong men in the ancient martial arts world could participate.
!”
Hearing the words "ancient martial arts world", everyone's faces showed a somewhat dignified look.
They were from extraordinary backgrounds, and they all heard about the ancient martial arts world from their fathers.
Their parents were all big figures in the upper class of Jinling, standing at the top of the pyramid. However, compared with those sects and aristocratic families in the ancient martial arts world that had been passed down for hundreds of years, they were not worth mentioning at all. They were as different as clouds and mud.
At this time, Fan Jin continued: "It is said that in that auction, a mysterious and extraordinary item appeared. It was a protective jade pendant. Even if the wearer was hit by a bullet, he would not be hurt!"
"Fan Jin, this is too exaggerated, isn't it? Do you think you are making a movie when you block a bullet?" Someone immediately questioned.
"Although I have never seen the protective jade pendant with my own eyes, there is no need to question the fact that it can block bullets. Hundreds of people were present to witness it with their own eyes! What's more important is that Young Master Li Zeyan of the Li family in Hong Kong offered tens of billions of Chinese coins.
The sky-high price, I want to buy this protective jade pendant!" Fan Jin said word by word.
Tens of billions of Chinese coins!!!
"hiss!"
Hearing this astonishing number, everyone couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, and their whole bodies were shaken violently, as if they were being shocked by electricity, as if their hearts were being pinched hard by a pair of invisible hands, and they were almost suffocating.
Among the dandies, there are also three, six or nine grades.
These young men and women in the box belong to the top circles in Jinling City, but their family assets range from tens to hundreds of millions.
Further up, there is a circle at the Jiangning Province level, which they cannot set foot in. Even if they force their way in, they can only act as followers.
As for a big family like the Li family in Hong Kong, they are the leading wealthy families in the whole of China. For them, they are even more out of reach and can only be seen on TV news.
"However--"
Fan Jin changed the topic and continued: "Even if the young master of the Li family offered a sky-high price of tens of billions, he still couldn't buy that jade pendant! According to my judgment, this jade pendant is exactly the same as the one at the Lucheng auction."
As soon as this statement came out, the whole audience was shocked.
…
Suddenly, Dai Shanshan asked tremblingly: "If it is true...then isn't this jade pendant worth at least tens of billions?"
"That's right!" Fan Jin nodded, his eyes firm.
After receiving an affirmative reply, everyone seemed to have been given a restraining spell and stood there dumbly, unable to describe their surprise in words.
They never expected that the value of this small piece of jade pendant was more than the combined assets of all the families in the venue.
In this way, what Ye Fan said just now was not showing off, but just seeking truth from facts.
Zhao Chen was immediately speechless, his face looked as ugly as if he had eaten shit, and he couldn't even say a word.
He originally thought that his diamond necklace would be the best in the audience and win the favor of Chu Mengyao.
But he never expected that the gift that Ye Fan gave away would be worth tens of billions.
Compared with Ye Fan, he was instantly reduced to a foil, and the gap between the two was like the difference between clouds and mud.
At this moment, Zhao Chen wished that a big hole would open in the ground so that he could get in.
However, Ye Fan didn't mean to beat up the drowned dog. He completely ignored him and turned to look at Tang Anni and said: "Annie, you'd better wear this jade pendant close to your body and don't take it off. It will be of great benefit to you!"
"Yes!" Tang Anni nodded and said with a sweet smile: "Xiaofan, I will definitely cherish the gift you gave me!"
