Chapter 45 No Purity
"One million!"
A low shout was like a shocking crash in people's ears, and even the auctioneer himself felt his heart beating faster.
Boom!
For a moment, everyone was stunned. They once again turned their eyes to Chen Moran, especially Charlie. When they looked at Chen Moran, his face was gray and his lips trembled gently. He held the number plate in his hand and wanted to fight for face several times, but he couldn't lift his hand. He was afraid that after he raised the price, the man suddenly gave up. What should he do then?
Like a three-year-old, he refused to pay. If he really did that, Charlie knew that his reputation and status of his hard work for 30 years would be destroyed, and he could only swallow it and admit it. But... Charlie looked at Chen Moran with hatred and put down the sign in his hand.
"One million for the first time!"
Jing, no one has the desire to raise a card at this time.
"One million for the second time!"
When the auctioneer said 1.5 million for the second time, Henry looked at Charlie's old gray face and felt so happy! Charlie also has today! Thirty years ago, when he came to Shanghai, the first sworn enemy he met was Charlie. Because of a business dispute, it can be said that the two fought to the death, and this man also had time to hold back!
"One million for the third time!"
Hammered and made a deal. In a not big applause, looking at Charlie's dead mother-like appearance, Henry smiled more brightly than usual.
At this moment, Owen came back. He missed the previous wonderful scene. After sitting down, he handed the boss a note.
"Are you sure to buy Rich Garden for 1.5 million yuan?"
In the congratulations of the auctioneer, he looked at Chen Moran and Ji Li with an incredible look.
"It should be called Chen's Garden now!"
Chen Moran smiled. The feeling of throwing a lot of money is really cool. No wonder the rich second generation in later generations like to create factions. It turns out that this feeling is really comfortable.
"Yes,"
Xiao Yuren said something in Chen Moran's ear, and then handed him the note and looked behind him at him.
Looking at the name on the note and the room number of the hotel, although he felt a little bitter about the foreigner's behavior, he still turned his head and smiled at him.
"Thank you!"
When he nodded gently to accept Chen's thanks, Henry leaned forward.
"Mr. Chen, if you like this set of books, I can take a picture for you. You know..."
Henry's eyes turned to Charlie. Charlie was staring at Chen Moran. Obviously, he was ready to talk to him.
As a businessman, he is very glad to have such an opportunity to get to know this tycoon who is about to be famous in Shanghai before everyone.
He followed his eyes and looked at Charlie. Chen Moran vaguely felt that he had seen him somewhere and understood the man's intention. He wanted to take the opportunity of the auction to buy at least, at least to make friends with himself, and the effect was really achieved.
"Thank you so much!"
After thanking him, Chen Moran rubbed the note in the palm of his hand.
"Chen Moran, China Industrial Company!"
At the auction, Shasun occasionally looked at one of the only two Chinese in the room.
Is it worth spending 1.5 million yuan to buy Fuli Manor?
As a real estate developer, Sassoon knows that it is definitely not worth it, but what will make him spend so much money. If Charlie took a picture of Fuli Manor, as a director of Charlie's Industry Bureau, he may still make a slight adjustment and then make a street in the backyard, but if it is 1.5 million, Charlie will not do so. The gains outweigh the losses. For a businessman, the most important thing is the rate of return after investment.
What is that? Let him spend a lot of money and buy Fuli Manor at the expense of a huge amount of money? Thinking of this, a thing came to Sassoon's mind. A man on the beach more than a decade ago, but that person was an Englishman and a British liar!
Ma Lishi, who was beside him, followed Sassoon's eyes and looked at Chen Moran, who had not left after taking pictures of Fuli Manor. He turned his head and said softly.
"Mr. Sassoon, I'm afraid there will be a Yangzi crocodile on the beach!"
"Yangzi crocodile?"
Saxon frowned slightly, and then showed some contempt.
"That is, even if he cut his braids, he is just a Yangzi crocodile with braids in his heart!"
For Chinese people, Sassoon will not look at them most of the time. The act of throwing a lot of money in his heart may be the same as that of Gittes 16 years ago. Both of them are just for fame, and then what? Unfortunately, he is a Chinese!
"Chen Moran!"
When he left the auction house, Charlie looked at the lame man with hatred. Originally, he wanted to let the damn Chinese pig spend several times more money in the next auction, but then he didn't participate in anything at all.
"Mr. Chen, Mr. Charlie seems to remember you!"
Handing the list of Yongle Canon to Chen Mo, Henry looked at Charlie's background and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mr. Henry!"
After taking over the order, Chen Moran did not respond to Henry's instigation. He thanked him and handed the order to Xiao Yiren with his left hand. This thank you is from the bottom of my heart. No matter what his purpose is, this person has helped himself twice after all, and he has spent 100,000 yuan to buy these books, which is worth it.
"He said that Mr. Henry must come to the Chen Garden for the name change banquet!"
"For sure, for sure!"
While Henry agreed, the carriage had arrived. When he got into the carriage and said goodbye to Chen Moran, the smile on his face was put away. As a businessman, he knew that the fermentation of friendship was gradual, and now it was just a good start.
"Owen, go and ask where this Chen Moran comes from!"
Sitting in the car and looking at Chen Moran, who was saying goodbye to other tycoons, Henry told his assistant that Shanghai is full of tycoons, and a tycoon may appear anytime and anywhere, but how many real tycoons can there be. There are too many people who want to mix in it. It's safe to find out. It's good.
"Silently, Henry was born as an opium dealer!"
Jili, who is still holding Chen Moran's arm, gently reminded after Henry left that although she only came to Shanghai, she still had a certain understanding of the Concession, especially the Concession, from her sister.
"I know, among these people,"
In response to Ji Li, Chen Moran smiled and nodded to the tycoons who were about to leave.
"How many people are clean!"
They are not clean, so how can they be clean?
I'm just making counterfeit money!
With that, Shunzi drove the carriage to stop in front of the door of Baimai. After Lin Yuqing opened the door, Chen Moran made a demeanorous gesture to Ji Li.
