Chapter 43 Auction!

Outside the door of Sotheby's auction house on Sichuan Road, along the front door of the auction house, there are more than a row of open "Hensme" carriages and a beautifully decorated milky white four-wheeled carriage. The logos on these carriages are all well-known foreign houses on the beach, Yihe, Shasun, Xinkang...

"The concession is the country in the country, and we are the king of the country!" Or the words of Jardine's big class in those years revealed the essence of the concession. These foreign class were the real top figures in the concession. Looking at these carriages, most of the occasional passers-by and patrols knew that another round of land auction began.

Since the opening of Shanghai, the foreign class from the West has relied on two soils to make money, one is tobacco soil and the other is land. As early as 20 years ago, with the localization of tobacco soil, the foreign banks that relied on the original accumulation of tobacco soil had long been abandoned for a long time. Only the land was a constant profiteering. In the 60 years since the opening of Shanghai port, the land price increased thousands of times. For these foreign banks that hold "only rent but not sold", the annual rent alone can earn hundreds of dollars. As many as ten thousand yuan.

Land has always been the hottest business in the concession, and it is also the focus of competition among major foreign banks.

In this kung fu, a black ordinary four-wheeled carriage stopped in front of the auction house. As soon as the carriage stopped, it stood on the back shelf of the carriage. Two young people in black tweed coats and hats jumped out of the carriage. One stood next to the carriage, and the other pulled open the door of the crystal glass. People who saw it inside and outside the auction house cast a surprised look.

"Do you know who it is?"

While chatting with Sassoon without a smile, he pointed to the carriage that stopped on the street outside the window and asked.

Originally, this ordinary four-wheeled carriage was quite common in the concession, but the dress and behavior of the two people behind the carriage were eye-catching. After a slightly stronger man got out of the car, he stood opposite the carriage door, in front of him, with his hands in his coat pocket. If it was correct, Matt believed that the man's coat pocket must be cut. It's empty. He must have a pistol in his hand. The other person opened the door with his left hand and put his right hand in his pocket. This kind of prevention and caution is the first time on the big beach.

Saxon, who was holding a wine glass, shook his head, but his eyes swept the clothes of the two people. He recognized that it should be produced by a handmade dress shop. The price was not cheap, that is, the attendants were dressed like this. For the people in the carriage, Shasun had a sense of expectation.

Not far from them, by the other window, Xiao Qian, who was holding a champagne glass, looked at the scene downstairs, and nodded with satisfaction. This was the result of the discussion between the two three days ago. As soon as they appeared, they would attract the attention of others.

When these so-called big classes were looking forward to Chen Moran's "Fan", they would have thought that this was just a little "vanity" after Chen Moran became rich. They learned from the rich and officials on TV. If the sunglasses are too ugly now, maybe Chen Moran will give them to Lin Yuqing and Zhu Jialiang. One person is a whole pair.

The Jackson manager who welcomed the guests outside the auction house, with a professional surname smile on his face, also had some expectations for the people in the car. The thirteen tycoons who signed up for the auction of "Fuli Garden" have arrived, and the last one is still missing, or this person. Unlike others, he knows that he is in the car. It's a Chinese.

As soon as the door opened, a black wooden crutches came out first. Jackson, with sharp eyes, immediately recognized that the crutches were absolutely expensive. After sticking out, Chen Moran got out of the carriage with the crutches in his hand, and then smiled at the carriage.

"God! It's Miss Ji Li!"

As soon as Ji Li, who was in a red dress in the carriage, walked out of the carriage, Jackson's eyes suddenly opened wide. He looked completely stunned. How could it be her, especially when he looked at her smiling and holding her arm between the Chinese's elbow, Jackson only felt that the vinegar jar in his stomach had overturned, extremely astringent. For the trouble.

"Miss Jili, welcome!"

With the jealousy in his heart, Jackson, with a professional smile, politely opened the door for them in person.

Ji Li nodded politely and smiled between Chen Moran's elbows.

"Mr. Jackson!"

When the two left, she looked at their background, especially Ji Li's skinny figure beside the Chinese. Jackson's expression was bitter. Ji Li was a famous beauty in the concession. A year ago, she came to the Shanghai concession. I don't know how many men fell under her pomegranate skirt. Don't Looking at her soft and amorous appearance, she rarely pretends to be a man. Jackson, as one of the suitors, is very clear about this.

And now she is shyly holding a Chinese man's arm. While Jackson was surprised, she was more of the bitterness of lovelorn.

After Chen Moran walked into the auction hall on the second floor of the auction house with Ji Li, everyone who had been laughing there was stunned at the same time. They didn't expect that the person who made them more or less expect was a Chinese, but what was more amazing was the woman next to him - Ji Li Grace, here The tycoons are no stranger to her. To be precise, they are their sisters. After all, these are the two most delicate flowers in the Shanghai Concession. The most rare one is the famous flower ownerless, and now one of the flowers actually appeared at the auction with a Chinese.

For a moment, the whole second floor suddenly boiled like boiling water, and even Sassoon, who had a gloomy face, showed a stunning look, and his eyes faintly exuded greed.

Feeling the sight of everyone looking back, Chen Moran, who had always been smiling, knew that he had done the right thing. If he came here, it would be impossible to achieve such an effect. With a beautiful woman, especially a famous beauty in the concession, he would often receive unexpected effects.

As soon as he entered the auction hall, Chen Moran saw Xiao Yuren, who entered the scene half an hour in advance. He held Ji Li, nodded to those tycoons he never knew, and walked towards Xiao Yuren, and Xiao Yuren threw a look at Chen Moran, which only two people understood.

"They are all looking at you!"

Before she sat down, Chen Moran turned her head and whispered in Ji Li's ear. Such a kiss only made Ji Li's face blush. She had long been used to other people's eyes, but it was the first time for such a kiss.

Ji Li, with a blushing face, held Chen Moran's arm, and her blue eyes flashed charmingly, which made Chen Moran stunned by her beauty.

"Well, that's it!"

Xiao Yuren pulled Chen Anran back. After Chen Moran sat down, he poked his head and whispered.

"I don't think we have to spend that money to buy that house. I'm sure that tomorrow, those people will inquire about you!"

After the expected effect is achieved, in Xiao Yiren's opinion, at least there is no need to buy a house now. It is nothing more than fame in this place in Shanghai. If you have fame, there will be benefits. As long as these big classes scramble to know him Chen Moran, his reputation in Shanghai will naturally come, and there will be a crime there. Money.

"Unlifted,"

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Yuren, with a smile on Chen Moran's face. From entering the room and seeing the surprised eyes of the big class, he knew that his goal had been achieved.

"The effect has been achieved, but why not make the effect better?"

For Chen Moran, who already has tens of millions of families, this money is simply a small amount of money. It was spent during the day and printed out at night. And the most important thing is that we must make ourselves famous in Shanghai today. Only in this way can we squeeze ourselves into Shanghai celebrities and finally achieve the purpose of turning fame into money.

When Chen Moran spoke, Ji Li, who was as delicate as a rose, was as quiet as an oriental woman, sitting there with a smile on her face, and occasionally threw her soft eyes to Chen Moran, which only stunned the people around her.

Sassoon leaned his head back gently, and a man in the back row stretched out his head.

"Ter, who is he!"

His voice is not loud, but most of the tycoons who entered here are doing similar actions. For them, the sudden appearance of Chinese people in this auction may not be surprising. After all, there are many rich people in China, but they can take this never fake color to participate in the shooting. Chinese people who sell the club are very rare.

Dozens of seconds later, the man returned to his seat again and whispered a few words to Sassoon.

"Chen Moran!"

Although it was very strange, Sassoon nodded and wrote down the name. At this time, the auction had already begun. Almost the first time for Hatong's bid, the attendant next to Sassoon raised the sign and added 10,000 yuan.

"Silence, have you really decided to buy a rich garden?"

Shortly after the auction began, looking at the rising price, Ji Li bowed her head and said softly without concern.

"If you are determined, you will get it!"

Chen Moran replied confidently. When Xiao Yuren asked if he had raised the card, he shook his head. It was not the right time. Although he has never participated in the auction in the past, he knows that if he wants to attract attention at the auction, the best way is to wait until the end.

"No. 6 price increase of 10,000! The current auction price is 740,000!"

The expression of the British auctioneer has not changed with the increase of the auction price, but the latest quotation is repeated from time to time. In the whole auction house, except for the voice of the auctioneer, there is almost no sound. The tycoons participating in the auction just signaled their attendants to raise their cards from time to time, which seems to be just a normal but ordinary auction. It's just a sale.

"Yes..."

In the face of Xiao Yu's doubts, Chen Moran shook his head again. Now he is not ready to bid.

"Wait a minute, Weiyang, look at the people here..."

He glanced around.

"Most of them are Jews. There is a saying in the Jewish saying that the fiercest wild dogs get the fattest bones! In China, there is a saying that biting dogs don't bark. Now, it's not the time to be fierce! Let them talk for a while!"
