Unlimited Black Cards! A Mysterious and Wealthy Young Lady!
Chapter 19: A staggering 20 billion spent at the auction!
Of course, the system is equipped with top-of-the-line vehicles and a dispatch system to ensure a rapid response to the host's needs; its professionalism is beyond question.
Jiang Wenxi nodded in satisfaction. When she opened her eyes again, the smile in her eyes had disappeared, and she regained her calm and composed demeanor, turning her gaze to the auction.
"First item to be auctioned: a famille rose vase with a hundred deer from the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, starting at five million, with each bid increment no less than 50!" The auctioneer's voice rang out, and in the glass display case on the stage, a famille rose vase with a hundred deer was displayed, with vibrant colors, exquisite patterns, and excellent condition.
Jiang Wenxi looked at the auction catalog, but since it wasn't something she was interested in, she didn't bid.
It was subsequently auctioned off to a collector for 1 million.
A pair of natural, fully green jadeite bangles, starting at 1.1 million yuan, with each bid increment no less than 100 million yuan.
This is something Jiang Wen is somewhat interested in. Of course, good things attract many other people as well.
One lady offered 1.2 million.
1.3 billion
1.4 billion
1.5 billion
There was little news until it reached 1.5 million.
3 million! A cool voice rang out.
The room fell silent for a moment, then murmurs arose. This was her first bid of the night, and she immediately raised the price to 2 million, doubling the bid and displaying great confidence.
"3 million for the first time! 3 million for the second time! 3 million for the third time! Sold!" The auctioneer brought down the gavel, and the natural full-green jadeite bangle successfully fell into Jiang Wenxi's hands.
Fu Siya's eyes lit up, and she secretly gave Jiang Wenxi a thumbs up.
Over the next half hour, Jiang Wenxi made a series of purchases. He acquired a Ming Dynasty Yongle blue and white plum vase for 5 million yuan; a landscape painting by Zhang Daqian from the modern era for 1.5 million yuan; a Guanyin sculpture carved from Hetian jade from the Qing Dynasty for 2.5 million yuan; and a natural amethyst necklace for 2.5 million yuan.
In a short period of time, she has successfully bid on five items worth over 100 million yuan each, bringing the total amount to 1 billion yuan. The guests were all awestruck by her extravagance, and whispers of discussion arose continuously.
"My God! Five items already! Almost every one is worth over 100 million! This is an incredible amount of money!"
"Just how much wealth does she have? The speed at which she spends money is unimaginable!"
"I used to doubt her abilities, but now it seems she's probably inferior to other powerful families!"
Fu Yunzhe, Ma Yun, and Jiang Xunye exchanged a glance, all seeing shock in each other's eyes. They had thought Jiang Wenxi would only bid on one or two items she liked at most, but they hadn't expected her to be so decisive, bidding on each item without hesitation and raising the price without any concern for the price.
Jiang Wenxi paid no attention to the stares and whispers around her. The system notification sounded in her mind: [The mission objective of acquiring five items worth over 100 million yuan has been completed. You are free to choose whether to continue bidding in the remaining auction stages.]
But she didn't stop there; her gaze fell on the next grand finale item—blood jade. The blood jade was carved from a single piece of top-grade blood jade, its color as deep red as blood, its texture warm and translucent, lifelike, and gleaming under the lights. The starting price was 2 million, with each bid increasing by no less than 5000 million.
"250 million!"
"3 million!"
"4 million!"
The price soared, quickly surpassing 5 million, and the bidding gradually thinned out, leaving only a few top billionaires still vying for it. Ma Yun was the first to raise his paddle: "6 million!" He had come today specifically for this, and he glanced at Jiang Wenxi.
Fu Yunzhe followed closely: "7 million!"
They all came for the bloodshed.
Jiang Xunye remained motionless, his gaze fixed on the Blood Jade Guanyin, lost in thought.
Just then, Jiang Wenxi raised her hand again, her voice still cold, but carrying an undeniable air of authority: "10 billion."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire hall fell into complete silence. Everyone was stunned, their faces filled with disbelief. Jiang Wenxi had simply raised the price by 10 billion with a single word, far exceeding the estimated value of the Blood Jade—an unprecedented move!
Jiang Wenxi didn't think he was particularly handsome; she just wanted to use him to open up the market.
"10 billion! This lady has bid 10 billion! Is there any higher bid?" The auctioneer's voice trembled with excitement. In his decades of experience, he had never seen such a decisive and efficient bidding.
The room fell silent; no one dared to raise their paddle. A price of 10 billion already exceeded the intrinsic value of the collectible, and further bidding would undoubtedly be a losing proposition.
"A billion for the first time!"
"A second time with 10 billion!"
"10 billion for the third time! Sold!"
The auctioneer brought down the gavel, and the entire hall erupted in thunderous applause, mixed with gasps and murmurs. Jiang Wenxi's total spending tonight came to exactly 1 billion, with five collectibles exceeding 100 million plus a final piece of blood jade, each purchase stunning the audience.
[Mission Completed! Total spending reached 2 billion, with five items exceeding 100 million each acquired. Rewards have been issued: 500 points. The equity transfer of 60% of Tianye Law Firm's shares has been completed, and relevant documents will be delivered by a designated person.] The system's mechanical voice echoed in Jiang Wenxi's mind.
She nodded slightly, as if she had just spent 200 yuan, not 20 billion. This nonchalant attitude shocked everyone present.
Fu Siya ran to her side, her eyes sparkling: "Wenxi, you're amazing! 20 billion! That blood jade is so beautiful!"
Jiang Wenxi smiled faintly: "You like it? I'll let you see it up close another time."
Fu Yunzhe walked over, his expression complex: "Miss Jiang is indeed exceptionally capable; I admire her."
Jiang Wenxi raised her eyes and said calmly, "They're just a few things that suit my taste; they don't really represent any real strength."
Her composure and calmness shocked them even more. In her eyes, 20 billion was just "something that suited her tastes." This confidence was something that ordinary families could not possess.
The afterglow of the auction had not yet faded, and the guests in the hall were still discussing the shocking event of Jiang Wenxi spending 20 billion yuan today, slowly leaving in twos and threes.
At this moment, a tall, middle-aged man in a black suit strode over. He was the special assistant to the auctioneer, and he approached Jiang Wenxi respectfully, bowing slightly. "Ms. Jiang, the five items you purchased have all been packed up. Each item is equipped with a specially made bulletproof safe and moisture-proof and shockproof devices. Would you prefer that we arrange for a professional team to escort you back to your residence, or would you like someone to receive them here?"
He paused, then added, "After all, this is a priceless treasure worth 20 billion. To be honest, even with our experienced escort team, there are still risks involved. Without top-notch security, there might be unexpected incidents along the way."
Jiang Wenxi was getting up to straighten her skirt when she heard this. She raised her eyes indifferently and said in a clear, calm voice, "No need, someone is coming to pick me up. Just pack according to the standard."
"Yes, Miss Jiang." The assistant dared not say more, bowed and stepped back, and immediately instructed the staff to carefully move the five large boxes of collectibles to the entrance of the auction hall to wait for orders.
