Chapter 31
Before long, the hall was filled with people, which meant that the auction was about to begin. There were men and women, old and young, in the hall. There were probably seven or eight hundred people.
A few minutes later, the auction began. First, a middle-aged man in his thirties came out with a microphone and said in his opening remarks: "Welcome to this jewellery auction, I hope you can buy what you like when you come here, and I won't say much more. The first item in our auction will be a sentient being.
Then a woman in a red cheongsam walked up with a plate covered with a red cloth and placed him on the auction table. on the table.
The auctioneer explained: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the first item in this auction, Changbai Mountain Ginseng, which is five hundred years old. The starting price is three million dollars. Please place your bids.
Changbai Mountain Ginseng is not an ordinary ginseng, it is one of the three treasures of Northeast China. Changbai Mountain is full of ginseng but all of them are more than ten years or decades old, and nowadays there are very few 100-year ginseng. The higher the age, the higher the price.
But Li Linfei didn't dare to be interested, he had the system, even if he got this ginseng in his hands, it would be useless, eating it would be considered a waste, at most tasting the taste.
The 100-year-old ginseng was auctioned off by a middle-aged man in his thirties for $5.3 million after intense bidding.
Next were all jewels in the hundreds of thousands, up for bid. The time of the auction passed by minute by minute. No matter what it was, these wealthy men had to earn their way out of the money.
More than an hour passed and a lot of things were auctioned off, precious famous paintings, pearl earrings and even - a brush of a Song Dynasty emperor, I don't know which emperor it belonged to.
During this time, Gao Wenjun got a pair of pearl earrings for over half a million. Wang Xiaodong got a brush of a Song dynasty emperor for 800,000. Wu Hailin got a high copy of Qi Baishi's painting for a million. It was what could possibly be real.
A few people were left with Li Linfei not auctioning anything.
Good, the auction has now entered an important moment, now we auction a few important ones. Here we move on to the thirty-second item in this auction.
It is the gold gilt Buddha that we have been waiting for. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, three staff members each came over with a plate, then placed it on the table and opened the red cloth, three gold gilt Buddhas.
The auctioneer introduced: "These three gilt Buddhas are made of pure gold and took three years to create, these three gilt Buddhas are Guanyin, Manjushri and Maitreya Buddha, three Bodhisattvas. Without further ado, the starting price for these three gilt Buddhas is $50 million.
Just as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone raised the bid.
"Fifty-three million."
I bid fifty-eight million. I bid fifty-eight million.
"Fifty-eight million and a half."
"I bid sixty million."
Lilin~Fei became interested in this. So he raised his card and started to call for bids:Sixty million eight hundred million.
But for those who had them, sixty million was nothing, these three gilt Buddhas were worth collecting and viewing.
Someone called out, "Sixty-five million nine hundred thousand."
"Another person:Sixty-eight million."
The auctioneer called out, "Sixty-eight million, is there a higher price for those sitting again? This is a gold gilt Buddha, absolutely pure gold, more worthy of collection.
Li Linfei: "Seventy million. "These three gilt Buddhas have already reached seventy million, but there are still people who are not dead. "Eighty million."
Li Linfei: "Eighty million. It was almost as if many people had given up, twenty to eighty million, it was not worth it to add, so there was no need, but a white suit sitting in front of Li Linfei shouted: "Eighty-five million, he still looked like fighting for it.
The man didn't call for more, he didn't think it was worth it, 90 million for three gilded Buddhas was not worth it.
So it was sold for 90 million for three gilt Buddhas. The three Buddhas are worth $70 million at best. You might as well let me build one for you at a friend's place for $90 million," sighed Gao Wenjun.
"Yes, Brother Li, it's really not worth it," Wang Xiaodong also said. "Brother, did you buy those three gilt Buddhas for 90 million to give to your girlfriend to go, said Wu Hailin, the comedian."
Li Linfei said, "One of the three gilt Buddhas is for my mother, one is indeed for my girlfriend, and as for the last one, do you want it, Brother Gao? I'll give it to you."
"That's not necessary, I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't need it. Gao Wenjun excused himself." Which one of you two wants it, I'll give it to you for free. Li Linfei said. Wang Xiaojun said, "I don't want it, I don't like this gilt Buddha thing." And Wu Hailin the tease said, "I'll take it if you guys don't want it, I'll send it to my cousin."
Wang Xiaodong laughed and scolded, "You tease taking Brother Li's gilt Buddha and sending it to your cousin by borrowing flowers really."
Chapter 32
After taking the three gilt Buddhas, Li Lin' Fei took a number of other items, the most valuable of which were two jadeite bracelets made from a single piece of imperial green. The starting bid was one million.
It was finally won by Li Linfei for four million eight hundred thousand. The auction was now nearing its end. The items up for auction were becoming more and more valuable.
But Li Linfei was not interested in any of them until the auction reached the penultimate item.
The auctioneer said, "This is a Patek Philippe ladies' watch, a vintage Patek Philippe mechanical watch, a limited edition ladies' watch. The starting bid is nine hundred thousand dollars.
"Nine hundred and eighty thousand."
"I bid one million."
"I bid a million and a half for this watch"
"A million and a half, can you go higher than a million and a half? This is a Patek Philippe ladies' watch, for your wife or girlfriend. It's the face of a lady on a trip. Come on, everyone.
The auctioneer was on the verge of complimenting the woman into a good one, but it was very effective, most of the rich men present had their wives or girlfriends with them, or their lovers, and couldn't resist the grinding of the women around them.
"One million seven hundred thousand."
"One million seven hundred and eighty thousand."
One rich man shouted at the top of his voice: "Two million. "There was a fight over this watch.
The price came to two million eight hundred and eighty thousand
And Li Linfei also liked it, he wanted to auction it off and give it to Wu Yuting, so he shouted, "Four million."
All the rich people looked for the sound, and it turned out to be the godly man who had just auctioned off the gilt Buddha and the emerald bracelet.
Now many of them were dumbfounded, because they couldn't afford to spell it out! So no matter how much the women around them grinded, they stopped raising their bids.
In the end the auctioneer hammered home the price of four hundred and fifty.
"Holy shit, Brother Li, you're so rich, you just auctioned a gilt Buddha for ninety million and then two bangles for four million eight hundred thousand. And now you've auctioned the Patek Philippe ladies' watch for four million. You're really rich. Wu Hailin said."
Li Linfei just smiled and said, "These are all for my dad and mum, and this watch I gave to my girlfriend."
"Elder brother Li, what a warm man, even the auction doesn't forget to buy things for your girlfriend! Gao Wenjun teased."
"Big brother Gao is no different, buying down a pair of earrings for his sister-in-law. Li Linfei said."
......
An hour or so later, the auction ended and several people went backstage to pay for their goods.
Taking the gilt Buddha and bangles and a few other things that were auctioned, but Li Linfei took a closer look at the two pairs of bangles, which were simply thieving green. Then Li Linfei took out a gilt Buddha from the box and gave it to Wu Hailin and said, "Here, send it to your cousin."
"This I can not send my cousin, I even my father I did not send, brother Li you make fun of me, tease Wu Hailin said.
With that, he took the gilt Buddha in his hand, and Li Linfei said, "I don't care who you give it to, I'll give it to you anyway.
So a few people left each other's phone numbers and went home. After saying goodbye to Gao Wenjun, Li Linfei went to the car park, put his things in the back seat and then drove home in his Brady Voyager. The next day, Li Linfei woke up early, brushed his teeth and washed his face before driving to school, as today was the day to announce his college entrance exam scores and his choice of university.
When he went, his mother asked Li Linfei to call him as soon as he looked at the scores.
Chapter 33
Driving to the school, there were no final exams yet, so the senior students were still in school, and by the time Li Linfei arrived at the school, it was after school hours.
But Li Linfei didn't drive the car in, he parked it opposite the school. Then he got out and walked into the school.
After entering the school gate and seeing that there were still students playing in the playground_, Li Linfei entered the school gate and went straight to the senior three classes, but Li Linfei had entered the system's transformation and became handsome and heroic. As he walked along, he attracted many girls from the first and second year of high school.
A few daring girls followed Li Linfei to see which class he had entered. But they were disappointed, it was the senior three, but they lay outside on the balcony to see this handsome man exam just enter the class, Wu Yuting followed behind,Yo, isn't this our big class president and Li Shenhao? You two are really tacit understanding, one after the other to come in. A classmate teased.
"Go on, it's your business. " said Li Linfei.
"I say, you recruited those girls outside, didn't you? " said Wu Yuting. She had just seen Li Lin'fei get off the bus and enter the school gate and followed him, but those girls wanted to see the sunlight and followed Li Linfei. She became a little uncomfortable.
"No, I don't know them, so who knows why they are following me. " Li Linfei explained.
"Hmph, who knows if you're serious or not, someone now seems .... ," "What are you trying to say? " asked Li Linfei. Nothing, and then Wu Yuting sat down on the seat.
I said are you jealous, sour smell so big. Who is jealous of you, a rascal. Wu Yuting said." Okay, okay, don't be angry, I'll give you something later. " Li Linfei said comfortingly. What is it Wu Yuting asked curiously. I can't say now.
At this time the class teacher Wang and the head teacher came in, saw Li Linfei and Wu Yuting and said, "Li Linfei congratulations, with 735 points, the first in the school and the top student in the Jiangnan province entrance exam, 35 points more than the second place.
Yes, this is the first provincial top student of our school, it's worth celebrating, Li Linfei, you've done our school proud. The head teacher said with a face full of joy.
Wu Yuting, you are the second best student in the school with 687 points.
At this point the students exploded
I go a 735 points the province's first high school student, a a 687 school second, let us these four or five hundred points to be embarrassed ah!
"Yes! The first time I saw this was a few months ago, but now I'm in front of us and we can't catch up."
"Li Linfei, you scored full marks in both Maths and English in the '18 exam! That's great for our school teachers, said the head teacher."
The girls who followed him outside heard that this handsome guy was the top student in this year's Jiangnan province's college entrance exam, so one - spreads ten, ten spreads hundred, then the whole floor knew, many students gathered at the entrance of senior class three, and some girls even called out:
"Senior, I love you, just like a mouse loves rice."
"Senior, I love you.
"Senior, I want to give you a baby nose."
Facing the crazy girls, Li Linfei blushed and smiled awkwardly, while Wu Yuting was sour in her heart, obviously his boyfriend, these girls were so shameless, bah.
However, the head teacher still drove them away. "Li Linfei, Wu Yuting, this is this year's application guide, take a look at it, said Mr. Wang."
So they both took the application guide and looked at it, waiting for all the students to arrive. At ten o'clock, the students came one by one. Those who came were good and those who were bad. But even if they were better, they were not as good as Li Linfei and Wu Yuting, there was a world of difference.
Wang Li scored 615 points this time, the fifteenth in his grade and seventh in his class. He initially thought he could score as high as Li Linfei, but when he heard that Li Linfei was the top student in the college entrance examination, he said he was a monster.
Ma Xiangxiang scored 630 points this time, seventh in her grade and fifth in the class, and he was satisfied with his result. She was not a monster like Li Linfei.
As for Zhao Lei, he scored 605 this time, eighteenth in the whole grade and eleventh in the class. He was a little disappointed to be 15 points short of his reserved score.
If you drop your score, a college or university is no problem, but if you don't talk about it, it's only a second college or university.
By the time of recess, no one came out because it was too hot, but the fact that Li Linfei was the top student in the college entrance exam was known to the whole school, and most people gathered around the door of the classroom of senior three.
