I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 354 Sotheby's Auction
When the car arrived at the manor, Yin Hua and his son Yin Jiazhi were already waiting at the gate, their smiles quite obsequious.

Yin Hua took the initiative to open the back door for Long Ruoli and Su Cheng.

"President Long."

"Mr. Su."

"It is truly an honor for you two to visit my humble abode!"

Yin Hua made no attempt to hide her excitement.

Not to mention since he gained power, he has never shown such a demeanor in his entire life.

But today is different.

Yin Hua tried his best to imitate the mannerisms of those who usually wanted to ask him for favors.

have to say.

After seeing a lot, one can imitate it quite well.

"President Su, please allow me to formally introduce you. This is Mr. Yin Hua, President and Shareholder of Atlantic Bank."

"This is our General Manager Su, currently the Vice President of RK International Consulting."

After Long Ruoli finished her introduction, Yin Hua quickly extended her arms and shook Su Cheng's hands: "President Su, I have long heard of your great name, welcome, welcome!"

Su Cheng responded politely to Yin Hua's enthusiasm.

"President Su, let me introduce you again. This is my son, Yin Jiazhi. You should have met him before."

Yin Hua turned to look at Yin Jiazhi, and after receiving the signal, Yin Jiazhi quickly stepped forward to greet Su Cheng.

However, his emotions were not as intense as Yin Hua's, but his smile remained bright.

"Hey Cheng-ge, I had a lot of fun with you last time!"

Yin Jiazhi used the nickname "Brother Cheng" to make their relationship seem closer.

Su Cheng knew Yin Jiazhi: "Yes, we've hung out together before, and you actually got along quite well with him."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Cheng!"

Everything Yin Hua is saying now has been discussed with Long Ruoli beforehand, especially after asking if she could mention previous events when introducing Yin Jiazhi, and they received Long Ruoli's permission.

Long Ruoli allowed them to make the request.

Mentioning it would bring back Su Cheng's memories of Texas Hold'em.

But if Yin Hua isn't allowed to mention it, it would seem very suspicious.

The Yin family's manor was not large; there was no passageway, not even a few hundred meters or a kilometer or two long, leading to the main house.

However, this courtyard is indeed quite large.

A brand-new Mercedes-AMG was parked at the entrance of the main building.

Yin Hua gestured to the servants waiting behind him, and soon an exquisite wooden box was presented to Su Cheng.

"This is?"

"Mr. Su, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is just a small token of my appreciation."

The servant opened the wooden box, inside which lay a car key.

This move completely baffled Su Cheng.

They're giving away a car right off the bat?

And it's an AMG?

“Mr. Yin, I appreciate your kind intentions, but I cannot accept this gift.” Su Cheng decisively refused Yin Hua.

But Yin Hua was persistent in trying to get Su Cheng to accept it, so Su Cheng had no choice but to look at Long Ruoli beside her.

Why isn't Daenerys Targaryen speaking up for me?

Why should I let myself fall for the Yin family's sweet-coated bullets?
Surrounded by several people, Su Cheng hurriedly led them to the Mercedes supercar.

This AMG is infused with a unique performance aesthetic, and its supercar pedigree and attributes are very pure.

The iconic waterfall-style racing grille is the most recognizable feature of the front face. Paired with the huge lower air intake and air blades, it is not only imposing, but also designed to meet the extreme cooling requirements of the powerful power system.

The vehicle is covered with complex aerodynamic components.

The shark fin on the roof, along with the actively adjustable rear wing and diffuser, provides powerful downforce and stability at extreme speeds.

The body uses a carbon fiber monocoque structure, ensuring extreme lightweighting and body rigidity.

The body lines are smooth and muscular, and the long wheelbase and short front overhang design create a dynamic body posture.

Its low and wide body, mid-engine layout, forward-shifted cockpit, and massive wheel arches all highlight its racing pedigree.

have to say.

This is a gift that is hard to refuse.

Regardless of gender, at this moment, one will quickly imagine themselves driving this Mercedes supercar along the coastline.

Su Cheng tried his best not to look at the car, because it made him imagine virtual ownership, as if he were already its owner.

Su Cheng looked at Long Ruoli, hoping that Long's mother could stop Yin Hua from throwing sweet-coated bullets at her.

But Long Ruoli completely ignored Su Cheng's distress signal and just laughed as if watching a show.

Yin Hua gave Long Ruoli the supercar with her permission, which is why she dared to give it to her so confidently.

But it was sent back.

Su Cheng couldn't accept it!
If the old man knew he had been seduced and bribed by money and material possessions, he would surely kill himself.

And Long Ruoli was right next to her.

No sooner had he accepted it than Long Ruoli went to Old Deng to complain.

Who would dare to accept this?!
"No, Mr. Yin, I really can't accept this gift. Our company has regulations."

Su Cheng had no other choice but to use the company as a shield.

Yin Hua was frightened by the word "group," so he dared not go any further and could only tentatively look at Long Ruoli.

To everyone's surprise, Long Ruoli actually sided with Yin Hua.

"President Su, Mr. Yin is so kind, please accept this."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua immediately felt relieved.

Su Cheng: ???
Not sisters.

You're my boss.

Why are you helping someone "bribe" you? Shouldn't you stand up and stop them immediately?

Did you plan this?
Are you two ganging up on me and treating me like a foreigner?
Long Ruoli thoughtfully offered Su Cheng a way out: "President Su, you can try it for a few days first. If you don't like it, you can return it to Mr. Yin later."

Upon hearing this, Yin Hua immediately chimed in, "Yes, yes, yes."

No?

Are you using this to test a man?

Which man could withstand such a test?

This is a luxury supercar!

Su Cheng knew that once she accepted it, she would definitely not be able to return it, because she would subconsciously regard returning it as a "loss".

But judging from the way things are going today...

If he doesn't accept it, he might just hold out here.

"Alright, then I'll keep it for Mr. Yin for a few days."

Yin Hua immediately handed over the keys, afraid that Su Cheng would change her mind again: "Okay, okay, no problem!"

Fearing that Su Cheng might change her mind again.

Tell the truth.

Long Ruoli must have thoroughly studied this Crown Prince.

The upper-class stuff doesn't work on Su Cheng.

Su Cheng is a smart person, but also a cautious one.

So the more you try to trick this kid, the less likely he is to fall for it.

Just send the car directly and bluntly. However, this car wasn't arranged or planned by Long Ruoli; it was Yin Hua's own initiative, and Long Ruoli merely acquiesced to it.

The group ushered Long Ruoli and Su Cheng into the room.

As expected, Long Ruoli was invited to sit in the most important seat, with Su Cheng in the second seat.

The father and son sat in the lower seats.

This is no ordinary meeting.

These established forces are more aware of the recent situation in Australia than anyone else. Countless people are crowding into RK Consulting, desperate to meet Su Cheng in person.

Yin Hua got this opportunity today thanks to her luck in catching Ma Shuning.

With Long Ruoli acting as guarantor, the implications are obvious.

After a few brief pleasantries and casual conversations, the four of them moved on to the main topic, led by Long Ruoli.

"Mr. Su, could you briefly discuss your asset disposal plan with Mr. Yin? See if there's anything they can do to help you."

Ok?
Su Cheng felt that the nature of this sentence was somewhat familiar.

Now, Long Ruoli is the introducer, Su Cheng is the owner of the rights, and established gentlemanly families like Yin Hua and Yin Jiazhi have become "newcomers".

On the surface, Long Ruoli is Su Cheng's direct supervisor. Since his direct supervisor asked him to report on his work here, Su Cheng can only report.

Su Cheng refused without any excuse.

He couldn't go into details, so Su Cheng just gave a brief outline, dividing the Ma family's assets into three parts: gambling, non-gambling, and the personal assets of each branch of the family.

Su Cheng gave a vague explanation when asked to be more specific.

Before coming, Su Cheng had already heard from Long Ruoli that her intention was to give the Yin family priority.

Then Su Cheng will just do as Daenerys says.

First of all, the Yin family is indeed powerful.

Secondly, the Yin family's influence is quite unique; their bank can utilize almost every available financial tool.

Su Cheng needed a complex financial network to cover his tracks, and he needed such a "general agent" to act as his front man.

but.

This requires the Yin family to be unaware of the situation, allowing them to passively act as their front men.

It was a bit difficult, but Su Cheng had already come up with a flawless plan in just a few minutes.

The conversation that followed went smoothly, with Su Cheng tacitly agreeing to let the Yin family play the role of general agent.

Long Ruoli emphasized, "Mr. Yin, you must do your best to help President Su."

"President Long, please rest assured that we will provide President Su with all available channels and resources to help him solve his problems and find the most suitable buyer."

Su Cheng had no choice but to retort: ​​"Mr. Yin, you don't need to worry about finding a buyer. I've already made arrangements."

He only agreed to let the Yin family act as the general agent, but didn't ask him to find buyers for himself.

What the Yin family needs to do is implement things, not have autonomy.

"Yes, yes, Mr. Su, have you already chosen someone?"

Yin Hua wanted to know which company was so lucky to be chosen by Su Cheng.

"There's no specific candidate yet, but you'll find out the day after tomorrow."

"President Su, what do you mean by that?"

Su Cheng explained, "There will be a Sotheby's auction the day after tomorrow. You can just go to the auction and copy down the list of names."

Upon hearing this, the other three immediately understood what Su Cheng meant.

auctions?
What to sell?
The Ma family's private collection?
Long Ruoli couldn't help but chuckle to herself.

Su Cheng is really meticulous in her work.

Did they just raid the Ma family's house?

This was something Long Ruoli hadn't expected.

It's okay.

It's nothing serious.

If your child wants to earn some pocket money, let them do it.

She certainly wouldn't be as strict with the children as Tianyan.

……

Day three.

Under the dazzling night sky of Australia, an unprecedented Sotheby's auction is taking place in the banquet hall of the city's most luxurious hotel.

This grand event was hailed as the "auction of the century," not only because it featured the largest number of artifacts in Asia, but also because it brought together the world's most powerful collectors, and the total value of all the artifacts reached an unprecedented astronomical figure.

This foreshadows another historic moment for the global art market.

Stepping into the banquet hall is like entering a meticulously crafted art palace.

Above the towering dome, a giant crystal chandelier casts a dazzling light like stars, illuminating every inch of the meticulously arranged space below.

These important figures, who rarely appear in public, gathered together at this moment, and the number of collectors present was enormous and their influence was immense.

In addition to locals from Australia, they also include billionaires, art patrons, museum directors, and business tycoons from all over the world.

Everyone rushed over by plane overnight after hearing about the auction in Australia.

The originally spacious area gradually began to feel crowded as more people entered.

Collectors, art dealers, and social celebrities from all over the world mingled together, forming one private circle after another.

However, many people's ideas and goals may be dashed.

Because today's auction is not just selling collectibles, or rather, it's not even selling collectibles at all.

RK's high-priced consultation fee is merely an admission ticket.

This auction is the true qualification for those who can sit at the table and share in the feast.

No one was able to find a bargain at this auction.

This is not an auction, but a pledge of allegiance by the forces in Australia.

Whoever offers the highest premium and pays the most will get priority to eat meat.

Fan Xingxian also quietly entered the venue with the crowd. However, he and his son Fan Li were dressed very, very low-key, even wearing masks and baseball caps, and they also brought bodyguards.

If those wolves had actually managed to steal the documents from Fan Xingxian at RK that day, causing the news to leak out, there's no way RK would have sold its assets to me.

Moreover, Fan Xingxian couldn't afford to fall out with those bastards.

Although today is a contest of financial resources and there shouldn't be any surprises, Fan Xingxian still took relevant measures after almost being robbed last time, in case of any unforeseen circumstances.

Fan Xingxian had received news of the auction two days ago.

Moreover, he wasn't the only one who received the message; almost all the top figures in the entire Australian island and the collecting community received it.

In the past two days, the financial chain in Australia has been pulsating wildly.

Almost everyone is mobilizing all the available cash they can get their hands on, preparing to spend it all at today's auction.

Everyone has already bought their tickets.

What they want to buy now is a qualification certificate.

Fan Xingxian instructed his son to take the number plate and find a place to hide. He then took off his mask and baseball cap and joined a series of private circles, trying to find out some information that he did not yet know.

The second floor of the auction house.

A semi-open Box-style private room.

This angle and position offer the best viewing experience.

Su Cheng, Zhang Yangwen, and Jiang Shuyue, accompanied by Yin Jiazhi, entered Box just as the auction was about to begin.

Zhang Yangwen was also holding a number plate, which read 999.

The main purpose of this license plate is to inflate prices.

If the price doesn't meet Su Cheng's expectations, Zhang Yangwen will decisively raise his bidding paddle to increase the price.

"Brother Cheng, what would you like to drink? I'll order it for you."
