Chapter 764 Auction

"I'm so pissed off!"

Taking the elevator back to the surface, Berkeley cursed Jiang Chen, who meddled in his heart, and Emma, ​​who made him embarrass himself. He vaguely remembered the way the people around him were looking at him when he left the scene disheveled.

He has never been so useless before!

A Porsche was parked by the side of the road. Seeing his young master approaching, the driver immediately got out of the car and opened the door for him.

Compared with the first few days when it was opened, there are a lot more vehicles on the roads of Penglai City. Some wealthy cruise ships have their own garages, so the car can be driven wherever the ship goes. And Berkeley obviously belongs to this category. When he came to Penglai, he set sail directly from his private port in California.

Sitting down in the car, Berkeley had a gloomy face.

"Drive, go back to the hotel."

"yes."

Seeing that the young master was in a bad mood, the driver could guess with his toes that he must have encountered some unpleasant things at the banquet. As a professional dog leg, this is a good opportunity to share worries for the young master! Halfway through the drive, guessing that Berkeley was in a better mood, the driver asked tentatively.

"Master Berkeley, who is so courageous to make you unhappy?"

"Jiang Chen." Berkeley said flatly.

The driver shivered suddenly.

Nima, there is no solution at all!

But soon, Berkeley added another sentence lightly.

"And Emma."

After explaining the ins and outs to his driver named Tate, Berkeley leaned back on the seat and stopped talking. Thanks to Emma, ​​he still has to think about how to explain it to his father. After all, his father valued face more than anything else.

Even in the end, it was his own self-awareness that he wasn't wrong at all.

With Jiang Chen's protective umbrella, no one can touch Emma. However, this does not bother Tate. Before driving this stupid and rich young master, he was a paparazzi reporter in Hollywood. In order to get that salary, what kind of tricks has he never seen before?

The eyeballs rolled around,

While holding the steering wheel, Tate lowered his voice and tilted his head.

"Master, I have a trick."

"Speak." Berkeley said impatiently.

"Since this cousin relies on the protective umbrella above her head to do whatever she wants, you, we should take off her golden umbrella first, and then touch her people. Just..." Tate lowered his figure and whispered next to Berkeley A few words.

After listening, Berkeley's eyes became brighter and brighter, and he suddenly slapped his thigh with a loud laugh.

"Haha, Tate," Berkeley said with a hook on Tate's shoulder, laughing loudly, "You are simply too bad!"

In an instant, the bad mood was swept away from his mind.

Wait! I will make you pay the price!

Berkeley licked the corner of his mouth, and he had already started to think about how to torture that haughty girl when he got his hands on her.

...

The waiters removed the assortment of cooked food and replaced it with delicate and delicious desserts. The sweet but not greasy ice cream stimulated Jiang Chen's taste buds. Even though he didn't like sweets very much, he couldn't help falling in love with this unnamed ice cream.

Jiang Chen secretly made up his mind, after the party is over, he must go to the kitchen to get the recipe of this ice cream, and then let Aisha learn how to make it for him.

After the dessert was served, all the guests had almost enjoyed themselves, and the party also entered the last and most critical part - the charity auction.

The auction items were all donated by people from all walks of life. For example, Jiang Chen donated a fountain pen he had used, with a price tag of 100,000 US dollars. Compared with Julian Schnabel's "Pearl of the Pacific", a fountain pen is undoubtedly a bit shabby. But what matters in this auction is not what is sold, but how much money is donated in the end.

Because it is a charity auction, most of the people sitting here are famous and successful people. After the goods are auctioned, the organizer will announce the name of the auction winner to satisfy the vanity of these donors.

Guided by the waiter, Jiang Chen and Xia Shiyu came to the venue next door and sat in the corner seats.

The guests had already taken their seats, and the envoy standing at the door gently closed the door.

Seeing that it was almost time, Mr. Jia Lewei, the host of the party, walked onto the stage, coughed lightly while holding the microphone, and then looked at the guests present with a smile on his face.

"I am very happy and grateful to see you here today. We are here for the same purpose, for those who need help..."

The opening remarks did not have the slightest bright spot. For Jiang Chen, an atheist without compassion, what Jialewei said did not arouse his interest. Compared with charity, he cares more about what interesting things he can get from this auction.

Jiang Chen was not disappointed. When Mr. Jia Lewei said the concluding remarks, the beautiful woman wearing the uniform of UNICEF stepped forward, holding a red brocade wooden box in her hand, lying a looking Antique teacup.

"The teacup used by Queen Victoria has a history of two hundred years. The donor is Duke Edward from London. The starting price is 5 million US dollars!"

There was applause in the venue, people paid their respects to the generous duke, and then raised their bidding cards.

In the end, the tea cup once used by the queen was sold at a sky-high price of 17 million US dollars.

The second one is also an antique, nothing to say about it.

When it came to the third item, Jiang Chen cheered up immediately.

Because the one that will be auctioned is the pen he used, with a starting price of one hundred thousand dollars!

To be honest, he is still looking forward to the price of this fountain pen. However, the reality is very cruel. The auction hall was quiet for two seconds, but no one bid. Seeing that his pen was about to fail, Jiang Chen's expression suddenly became embarrassing.

What a fool, this pretense is a bit too much!

Seeing Jiang Chen's deflated appearance, Xia Shiyu pursed her crooked mouth, feeling a little amused.

After taking the sign, she wrote a string of zeros on it, and was about to take a picture of the pen for him.

But at this moment, a sign was raised on the other side of the venue, and the host immediately turned his gaze to that side and exclaimed.

"One million dollars! Directly increase the price by ten times! The auction winner, Carmen Rothschild! Let us give our applause to this generous gentleman and this generous family..."

Applause rang out, but Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, he noticed that Carmen, who was sitting there, was smiling at him and toasting from afar.

Well, finally someone who knows the goods.

The fourth item was the finale "Pearl of the Pacific Ocean", which caused a wave of upsurge at the auction. The starting price was five million US dollars, and each increase should not be less than one hundred thousand. However, as soon as the painting was displayed, the price was doubled by a local tycoon directly to 10 million U.S. dollars!

Unfortunately, his competitor is Jiang Chen.

After some competition, when the third sound of the hammer fell, the painting was finally sold at a high price of 110 million US dollars, which was eaten by Jiang Chen. A painting was sold for 110 million US dollars. Even though there were many rich people present, they still couldn't help being stunned by the terrifying transaction price.

Many celebrities even cast Chiguo's eyes on Jiang Chen, and at the same time cast Chiguo's jealousy on Xia Shiyu sitting next to him, wishing that it was him who was sitting there.

The fifth product appeared, which immediately attracted Jiang Chen's attention.

It was an unassuming notebook.

To be precise, it was a cipherbook.

And the origin of this codebook is a little bit special... (To be continued.) 8
