This international city located on the coast of the South China Sea can definitely be called the Pearl of Asia. It is almost a symbol of economic and world trends. A large amount of astonishing wealth has been gathered here. There are wealthy businessmen from all over the world. It is also home to the underworld forces from all over the world.
The fat in the eyes.
At this moment, it is the golden hour of eight o'clock in the evening, and the whole city is brightly lit. From a high altitude, it looks like a night sky twinkling with endless stars.
The entrance to Christie's auction house is very lively, busier than every day before.
Expensive cars and sports cars stopped one after another, and well-dressed men and women walked down one after another and passed through layers of security measures to enter the interior.
Dozens of reporters from various media, desperately using their flashlights, took pictures of all the wealthy people gathered in Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and even several cities in the Pearl River Delta in mainland China. There is no doubt that tonight is destined to be a night of great excitement.
This grand event for a wealthy family is bound to become a topic of conversation among people after dinner. Who has seen such a grand scene?
There are not only faces that are common in newspapers and TV, but also people that the media has never seen before. These invisible rich people who are not famous will shine brightly in newspapers and TV tomorrow.
Why these rich people, whom they have met or never met, came to Christie's at the same time is definitely the question that the media wants to know the most.
It's a pity that no matter how hard they talked, they didn't get the answer they wanted, only "no comment."
In fact, this matter started a few days ago.
The college entrance examination ended five days ago, and Xia Lei and the others began to discuss ways to deal with the little devil.
When it comes to the national economic situation, the Republic is definitely not inferior to Japan. However, our country has a large population and a large amount of wealth is gathered in the private sector. The funds that the state can mobilize are not as good as the other country. However, even the state cannot mobilize private wealth.
, if forced recruitment would be tantamount to disrupting the foundation of a country, so they thought of another way.
Feng Jue returned to Beimang Mountain and collected all the treasures that everyone in the sect had as souvenirs and brought them to the world. In addition, Xie Lingzi was forced by Xiandi to go to other sects with whom he had good relations and bring those treasures to the secular world.
All treasures that are of little significance to a cultivator are obtained.
In addition, the huge amount of rare treasures mined in the high-tech folding space created by Atlantis were distributed by everyone and taken to various places.
Among them, Xia Lei is responsible for an area centered on Hong Kong and radiating to the surrounding areas.
The country invites wealthy people from all over the world to participate in this unique auction, taking this opportunity to gather private wealth for their own use. Not only Xia Lei and the others are responsible for the country, but also the central cities of many developed countries abroad will also be in the same place.
The auction will be held during the time.
It's just that these auctions are all hosted by other people. For example, Harry is in charge of North America, people from the Tungulas family are in charge of Europe, and other places are people placed there by the Republic.
In short, no one can find out any relationship between foreign and domestic auctions. As for the reason for choosing to hold them at the same time, it is even simpler.
It is said that things are rare and valuable. If others hear that a huge amount of unique jewelry has appeared, the value of the jewelry will be greatly reduced. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent everyone from getting the news in advance, so that the maximum value of the jewelry can be discovered and through this
way to get the most benefit.
When the state comes forward, no matter whether it is a rich man who is often seen in the media or an invisible rich man who hides in the city, how dare he fail to make an appointment?
This is equivalent to being summoned by the emperor in ancient times. It is a great honor!
Moreover, being eligible to be invited also shows your distinguished status. Not everyone can participate in tonight's auction. Those who don't have a net worth of over 100 million cannot even enter the auction house. However, there are some people who do not need to abide by this rule.
Those are the celebrities who were invited to add glamor to the auction, just to attract more attention.
Although the stars who can come here are without exception superstars, the entertainment industry is not the mainstay of society after all. Having the opportunity to meet these real rich people will undoubtedly have a great impact on the stars' acting careers, so every recipient
The celebrities who were invited were all honored, and those who were not invited tried their best to get a ticket.
Xia Lei, who was wearing casual clothes, was in a restaurant more than a hundred meters away from the auction house.
Unlike usual, there was no one around him. Everyone was scattered across the country to host the auction. Even if the two girls Sandy and Sophie were reluctant to part with each other, they could only separate temporarily for the sake of the overall situation. After all, the country is so big, there are only
Only people who are trustworthy enough can host the auction, and there is also a layer of reasons to ensure the safety of the auction.
However, sitting on a chair next to him was a small pug. This time, the little guy was covered in white hair and weighed only a few kilograms. It became the focus of the entire restaurant.
The reason is simple. It ate at least 20 kilograms of steak and drank five bottles of red wine!
How can such a tiny little guy with a pitiful body and a stomach that is theoretically only as big as a fist hold so many things? The most outrageous thing is that after eating so much food, that little body doesn't even swell a little.
No.
In fact, this was due to Xia Lei's secret restraint, otherwise its appetite would be several times larger than that of a kitten. Not to mention a mere 20 kilograms of steak, even 200 kilograms would probably only be able to give it the bottom spot.
Squatting on the chair that was specially raised a lot, almost as high as the dining table, Qilin was like a starving ghost reincarnated, devouring pieces of steak. While it was devouring it, it secretly glanced at Xia Lei, who was sipping red wine.
, thinking to myself: Grandma is such a bear, I want you to treat me as a pet, and as you treat me as a slave, I have to praise you!
"Hey... Xiaobai, overeating is bad for your health, do you understand?"
Xia Lei stood up with a smile and grabbed the top of its melon, showing no affection for the pet at all.
After throwing a stack of banknotes on the table, amidst the strange looks of many guests, he carried the Qilin and walked outside. The poor Qilin had to pretend to be a puppy, and with all the grievances in his heart, it kept chopping in his hands.
He twisted his body and made a whimpering sound from his mouth, which sounded as pitiable as possible.
After leaving the restaurant and crossing the road, Qilin was placed on the road, walking on his short legs like a follower, following Xia Lei towards the auction as if he was flattering.
"Be good..."
Looking at the row of expensive cars in front of the auction house and the celebrities with bright clothes and excellent looks, Xia Lei couldn't help but admire: "Hong Kong is indeed a place for rich people. These cars are worth selling."
A lot of money, right? Tsk...don’t you often see that one on TV?”
There were about ten minutes left before the admission was over, and the auction house was crowded with people. In addition to a large number of reporters, there were also rich people with net worth less than hundreds of millions and celebrities who were not famous enough.
They are trying their best to sneak in and take this opportunity to become members of the upper class.
Although the aura of a cultivator was masked by the magic talisman and he looked like a completely ordinary person, Xia Lei's almost perfect appearance still attracted the attention of many people. When he appeared at the door of the auction house, many reporters
They couldn't help but turn the spotlight to him, and they were full of curiosity about this 'newcomer in the entertainment industry'.
There is no way, there are only two kinds of guests who can enter the auction house. This is not a high-society cocktail party. Even billionaires cannot bring people in. Therefore, the second generation ancestor is not qualified to enter the auction house. None of those rich people is not thirty.
Someone who is older? And he looks to be about twenty years old, and he has a handsome appearance that makes men jealous, so he naturally belongs to another kind of person - a star.
It's just that the celebrities who can come here today are all of the superstar level. No one has seen Xia Lei before, so it's hard not to be curious.
"Mr. Xia."
As soon as they walked outside the security circle, the special team members sent by Pangu Base to perform defense work bowed their heads respectfully and saluted. At this moment, everyone was stunned.
These guards, who didn't know where they came from, were dragging them like uncles. There were so many celebrities who came in before, but none of them received the slightest courtesy. They all mechanically checked the invitations. Some of the middle-class wealthy people who tried to sneak in were even beaten by a
They were punched, kicked and thrown out, as if these guys were robots that only knew how to obey orders and would not give anyone the slightest bit of face.
However, these guards with stiff and inhuman expressions all saluted a young man in unison, their expressions full of deep awe.
Who is this young man?
"Wang...wang..." Qilin shouted to the special team members.
It is very unhappy now. How can you say that you are also a majestic mythical beast? These ant-like humans didn't show you the respect you deserve when they saw you. How can you mess around after you tell them?
Wow!
Qilin bit Xia Lei's trousers hard, and with a tear, a piece of cloth as big as a fist was torn off the trousers.
Being pulled and dragged by it, Qilin immediately crossed Xia Lei and ran to the front. In the eyes of people with surprise, he walked in front with his little head held high. This move made the onlookers dumbfounded. This little thing looked nothing like it.
A dog is basically a monster with human nature.
What's even more surprising is that the guards took two steps back one by one, with a trace of surprise flashing deep in their eyes. Outsiders didn't know it yet, even they themselves didn't know it, but they got the warning from Xue Gang,
Don't mess with that pug, it's a hundred times more terrifying than Xia Lei!
Helplessly shrugging his shoulders, Xia Lei had nothing to do with this unicorn that resembled a human child. He could only follow it and glare at its squirming little butt.
Perhaps feeling the unkind gaze behind him, the little dog turned his head and glanced at Xia Lei. His speed immediately increased several times, and he quickly slipped in. How dare he continue to show off?
This auction was different from usual. Instead of sitting in a chair and bidding in a formal manner, it felt a bit like a cocktail party.
There are hundreds of people in a hall of over a thousand square meters. They are all well-dressed and show their upper-class status. They are either drinking champagne or red wine from goblets, or gathering in twos and threes to talk about business matters.
, and there are some glamorous stars who flirt with the rich and try to climb up the ladder.
In the center of the room, there was a rosewood table on a half-meter-high stage, but the time was not up yet and no host appeared.
Taking a glass of red wine from the tray in the waiter's hand, Xia Lei walked to the chair in the corner alone and secretly observed the crowd.
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded: "I don't know what to call this gentleman?"
