Reborn IT Giant

"Brother Zhen, relax, let's eat something first."

After all, the place was unfamiliar, and the environment outside the castle was indeed a bit eerie, so Wang Zhen had not let down his guard since he came in.

"You said these foreigners are really weird. I really don't know what's so good about those bare-butt women. They are all as fat as pigs. You can buy them and hang them at home without fear of nausea."

The screen at the scene was playing photos of tonight's auction, and Zheng Yan also paid attention to it. Although he didn't think it was good, he didn't expect Wang Zhen to say such things.

"Pfft... ok Brother Zhen, this is the cultural difference between East and West, it's normal."

Zheng Yan thought to himself, no one can understand Chinese, otherwise it will be another troublesome thing.

"Oh Zheng Yan, why are you eating here? The auction is about to start. Let's go over and have a look. There is a restaurant here. We will go to eat later."

Although Larry Ellison is crazy, he pays great attention to his appearance, words and deeds. When he saw Zheng Yan eating and drinking there, he couldn't help but drag Zheng Yan away. At this kind of upper-class gathering, the drinks are very exciting.

Drinks, but snacks and so on are just decorations.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to the auction held by the Harris family. Because a Chinese guest came today, two items were temporarily added. Let's start tonight's auction."

After Owen Harris came on stage and spoke a few words, he walked off and the auction began under the auspices of the auctioneer.

"Please take a look at the first lot below. This is a natural ruby ​​weighing 76.58 carats. The most precious thing is that it is a six-ray star ruby. It is definitely one of the most precious rubies in the world... Its starting price

It’s five million U.S. dollars, and each increase must not be less than one hundred thousand dollars.”

After chattering for a while, the auctioneer finally announced the starting price.

"Five and a half million."

"Six million."

“…”

"Eight million."

The ruby ​​in front of him is indeed very rare. In a short time, the price has increased by three million, and judging from the situation at the scene, it will definitely not be sold like this. However, Zheng Yan found that Larry Ellison was looking at him with hatred.

Staring at the old man who quoted eight million.

"

What’s wrong Larry, do you have a grudge against that guy?”

"Did you see that beauty? That's Jennifer Connelly. It's a pity that such a little beauty actually took advantage of that old man Gary Hilton. I feel angry just thinking about it."

"Twelve million."

"And that one, that's Diane Lane, she's also cheaper than an old man. Why doesn't this little beauty belong to me?" Larry Ellison said, pointing in the direction of the quotation.

Larry Ellison just felt unbalanced in his heart and never thought about it. In fact, he was half an old man himself.

After Zheng Yan heard what Larry Ellison said, he immediately felt dumbfounded. Although Zheng Yan had also heard that Larry Ellison was a romantic man, had many girlfriends, and had four marriages in his life, but there was nothing

Thinking about it, he felt aggrieved because of this kind of thing. But thinking about it again, Larry Ellison, who is in his seventies, is still dating young models in their twenties, so this behavior is not surprising.

"Fifteen million."

I don't know if it was to vent his anger or for some other reason, Larry Ellison also joined the competition. Zheng Yan originally had some thoughts about the gem, but when he saw Larry Ellison getting involved, he didn't.

Plan to fight for it.

In the end, the ruby ​​was sold for 23 million, but it was not Larry Ellison who bought it.

"Larry, why didn't you grab it?"

"I don't want the gem, I just want them to spend more money."

Zheng Yan found that because of what happened tonight, she had a new understanding of Larry Ellison. And Zheng Yan also admitted that the other person was indeed more like a young man than herself, whether it was his pursuit of beautiful women or... pranks

superior.

"Next, we will proceed with the second auction, which is a work by the famous French painter Cézanne - "Three Women Bathing". We all know that Cézanne is the leader of Post-Impressionism and is also known as the "New

"Father of Art", his works certainly have extremely high collection value. The starting price is US$7 million, and each increase in price shall not be less than US$100,000."

While Zheng Yan was communicating with Larry Ellison, the naked-butt woman Wang Zhen talked about had already started to be auctioned.

"Eight million."

"Eight and a half million."

"Nine million."

“…”

Although the painting was worthless in the eyes of Zheng Yan and Wang Zhen, there were many people who liked it, and it was even more popular than the Ruby just now.

"Zheng Yan, this painting is pretty good. I think you can take a photo of it."

Larry Ellison is just not interested in these things, not that he doesn't understand them. Although Cézanne's works are not as good as those of Picasso, Leonardo da Vinci, Van Gogh and others, his paintings are also very popular in the international collection community.

"Forget it, I can't appreciate this kind of thing."

If it were traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting, you could buy it and hang it at home as decoration, but looking at the three naked women in the painting in front of him, Zheng Yan really couldn't arouse his interest.

"By the way, Larry, since you have no interest in these things at all, why did you bring me here? I don't seem to have said that I like these things, right?"

If Larry Ellison was interested in collecting antiques, then it would make sense to come here today, but that is obviously not the case. Larry Ellison's interest is not as great as mine.

"Zheng Yan..."

"The following lot is from China..."

Larry Ellison was just about to explain to Zheng Yan, but the auctioneer took out Chinese cultural relics, and Zheng Yan's attention was immediately attracted.

"We'll talk about it later. Let's see what it is first."

"This is a Chinese landscape painting. Because it is a temporary addition, the specific value is not particularly clear. The starting price is 10,000 US dollars, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 US dollars."

"What is this painting..."

"Oh my god, how could something like this be put up for auction..."

“…”

Without the operation of international speculators, the current Chinese cultural relics are not popular in the international market, so no one except Zheng Yan is interested.

As for Zheng Yan, although he felt that the lower the price, the better, but after hearing the various voices at the scene, he suddenly felt a little angry. In his opinion, compared with the picture of the naked woman just now, this painting cost tens of thousands.

times.

"Sorry to interrupt, can I come up and take a look?"

Although Zheng Yan knows nothing about antiques, he can be sure that this painting is definitely real. Zheng Yan just wanted to see the name of the author.
