"I go."
Luo Wenyao on the side was also stunned. Before he could finish the snack in his mouth, he said vaguely: "Someone really got kicked in the head by a donkey, and it turned out to be our leader..."
at the same time.
Kroff outside the dance floor couldn't help but be startled, and looked at Xue Yun with a calm expression from a distance.
The two looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became confusing.
"This gentleman is willing to pay three million to buy this painting!"
The mood was obviously a little excited.
Even the beauty in red as the host did not expect anyone to pay such a high price, and quickly asked: "Of all of you, is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?"
There was silence.
In addition to the host's urging, it was almost to the point where you could hear the drop of a needle.
Three million federal coins.
This is definitely a huge sum of money for a satellite town.
Although the dignitaries in front of them were very wealthy, they had no reason to sacrifice their flesh for an oil painting that was worthless to them.
"That's it..."
He smiled bitterly.
The beauty in red looked slightly disappointed and said, "Then I declare, congratulations to the gentleman just now..."
"Three and a half million."
suddenly.
Kroff, who had been away from the dance floor, spoke in person, instantly interrupting the host's words and even called out the price.
next moment--
The whole audience was in an uproar, including the host on stage, who were all confused.
"Excuse me."
Smile slightly.
Kroff shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "This painting is a collection that I like very much. Since no one is willing to bid, I might as well buy it back. Anyway, it is to contribute to the country and make more money." Let’s consider the five hundred thousand as my personal additional donation.”
Although the words are high-sounding.
But in fact, everyone present knew it very well.
Kroff, the bastard, clearly saw Xue Yun's generosity and deliberately wanted to raise the value of this painting.
Narrow your eyes.
Xue Yun pondered for a moment.
When he looked at the administrator in the distance again, he found that Croft was holding up the wine glass and gesturing towards him with a smile.
His attitude was totally different from before.
"Haha, Chief Croft, I'm really sorry."
He immediately smiled.
Xue Yun's eyes were deep and he shouted from a distance: "Although a gentleman will not take away someone's love, I also like this painting. I'm afraid you will have to bear the pain and part with it this time."
Raise your hands slowly.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xue Yun looked at the host on the high platform and shouted in a deep voice: "I will pay five million!"
Hit the nail on the head.
Everyone gasped.
Looking at the painting on the high platform again, his eyes obviously became a little unusual.
But no matter how they looked at it, this oil painting was still ordinary, with nothing special at all.
"Crazy, really crazy..."
His eyelids twitched involuntarily.
Luo Wenyao couldn't laugh or cry: "Spending five million to buy such a junk thing is not how you spend it even if you have money. It's just playing the piano randomly!"
Nodding silently.
Lu Le on the side was already speechless, and his whole body felt dizzy.
"You don't understand..."
Suddenly.
Xuanyuan Qiong, who had not been seen for a long time, suddenly came behind the two of them and said calmly: "He wants to attract the other party's attention and deliberately uses money to create an opportunity."
There was a pause.
Xuanyuan Qiong said with profound meaning: "Compared with our mission, five million is nothing. If we can find a breakthrough, no matter how much effort we put in, it will be worth it."
Hear the words.
Lu Le and Luo Wenyao immediately looked at each other and figured out the reason in an instant.
But what they don’t know is——
It is true that Xue Yun deliberately wanted to win Croft's favor and attention.
But at the same time, he was also determined to win this oil painting that depicts the "beginning and ending".
"Well......"
On the high platform.
After hearing this outrageous price, the beauty in red was completely confused.
But he saw that he was speechless for a long time, looked at Croft helplessly, and asked with a wry smile: "So, is there anyone else raising the price?"
For a while.
Everyone suddenly felt dumbfounded.
Even the host knew very well that whether the painting would eventually fall into Xue Yun's possession still depended on Croft's mood.
"Oh, there's nothing we can do."
The scene was a bit embarrassing.
Kroff could only accept it as soon as it was good, and said with a pretense of regret: "In this case, I have no choice but to give this masterpiece to Mr. Kondo who came from afar."
"Congratulations Mr. Kondo!"
The beauty in red immediately announced: "I bought this rare treasure for five million!"
In an instant.
The whole place was silent, and many people even lowered their heads and whispered, probably just like Lu Le and Luo Wenyao, they were all laughing at Xue Yun for being an out-and-out wretch.
Bang bang bang...
Unexpectedly, lonely applause suddenly sounded.
Everyone was stunned and followed the sound.
However, he saw that the always cold and cunning Kroof actually applauded Xue Yun. As he glanced at the crowd, the expression on his face was full of warning and threat.
next moment--
Thunderous applause erupted.
No one dared to say anything more at all. All kinds of flattering words came one after another. Basically, they were all telling lies and praising Xue Yun for his unique vision.
"Fuck."
He drooped his eyelids.
Luo Wenyao spit out the thick phlegm and complained: "It's great to have money. The black ones can turn white, and the dead ones can be resurrected with full blood. It's not like me. I don't have a single coin in my body..." "
He glanced at the big man next to him.
Lu Le frowned and asked, "Brother, you are also a descendant of the Luo family in Shenju City, so why are you acting like a beggar?"
"Oh, don't mention it..."
Luo Wenyao was about to cry, but shook his head and said: "You are not the old man in my family who believes in the concept of raising children when the poor are rich and raising daughters when the rich are rich. Unless we are officially married and have children, the men of our Luo family will only receive a small amount every month. Except for the extra money, there are no extra expenses. Sometimes I have to go to the pasture below to help feed the horses, not to mention how hard it is!"
Daxia Empire, Luo Family of Shenju City——
The city lord Luo Qingyang was famous for his bad temper and stubbornness, so it was not unusual for the old guy to make such a crazy decision.
The so-called charity auction is still going on.
Next, under the recommendation of the host, dozens of strange and weird rags were displayed one after another.
as always.
Xue Yun would take the initiative to bid every time. Although he no longer asked for millions like before, but cumulatively, he still spent at least hundreds of thousands.
No matter the cost, have deep pockets.
The faces of the dignitaries present were ashen, completely impressed by this almost vindictive view of consumption.
finally.
After everything was over, for the first time in this charity auction, not a single item was sold unsold.
This has never happened before at any charity dinner.
