Second dimension circle of friends
Chapter 382: Ning Family
"Is the Ning family...very powerful?" So powerful that he can't even reach it with his current strength? Lin Nan was a little confused. He only knew that Ning Qingzhu's family background was very high before, but he didn't have a clear idea. He had never been involved in business, so he didn't know much.
But after he already had a company with such a good prospect, the gap between him and the Ning family was still so big. This made him feel the disparity in status for the first time after obtaining the two-dimensional APP.
As soon as Lin Nan asked this question, other strangers at the table immediately looked at him with a mocking look, as if they were looking at a country bumpkin.
Zhao Xuan glared and replied in a low voice: "Of course, the Ning family is not only one of the best families in this city, but also in the country. There are disciples in the family who are engaged in business and politics, but without exception, they have all made achievements."
A powerful business empire is not only strong in business, but also consciously and implicitly involved in politics to ensure the smooth development of business.
Lin Nan nodded, with a trace of ambition in his eyes, "Sooner or later, I will stand in that position."
Not to mention other people, even Zhao Xuan laughed twice perfunctorily, but he didn't believe it in his heart.
The host of the charity auction was a well-known host in the entertainment industry, who was famous for his sharp tongue and his ability to control the atmosphere of the venue. He brought the atmosphere up in just two or three words, and praised everyone present, saying that they were all great philanthropists, so that everyone would be happy to listen now and happy to pay later.
"Okay, let's stop talking, let's take a look at what items are auctioned tonight. The first one is a blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty, with a starting price of 10,000 yuan."
There are number cards on each table, of course, they are all in units of 10,000. To be honest, 10,000 yuan of blue and white porcelain is already very cheap, but this is just a starting price, and the result is often far from the starting price.
When the blue and white porcelain was auctioned for 90,000 yuan, Lin Nan also participated and bid 100,000 yuan. Later, I don't know if it was intentional, the person in charge from the Ning family actually turned his head slightly to look at him, and then bid 200,000 yuan.
The price of 200,000 yuan was already expensive. No one was willing to waste a penny in vain, and no one was willing to go against the Ning family. Therefore, this blue and white porcelain vase was auctioned off by the Ning family at a high price of 200,000 yuan.
The items for auction were very mixed. Half of them were taken out by the head of the Feng family who held this charity auction, and the other half were donated by others. For example, the shirt worn by the movie emperor Fang Ziyao that was auctioned now was finally auctioned off by a female tycoon at a price of 300,000 yuan.
Lin Nan had always been uninterested in these things, but since he came here and was doing charity, he saw that the price was not very high, so he bid a few times casually, but each time it was auctioned off by Ning Qingyu from the Ning family.
Lin Nan thought it was just a coincidence at first, but if there were too many coincidences, it would be intentional. He twitched his lips. He didn't know what the relationship between Ning Qingyu and his Ning Qingzhu was. Brother and sister? I didn't hear Qingzhu say that she had a brother or a younger brother.
In the past, Lin Nan might have acted impulsively after being provoked like this, but after experiencing so many strange life and death things, he would not get angry because of such a small matter. Zhao Xuan was still worried about him, but seeing Lin Nan's calmness, he swallowed his words of persuasion before he could say them.
"Congratulations to our President Ning for bidding this tea set at a high price of 300,000. Now let's take a look at the next auction item, a ruby necklace that will make most beauties excited. The starting price is 100,000 yuan, and each increase in price must not be less than 10,000." The host smiled and lifted the red cloth on the tray held by the maid in cheongsam, revealing the crystal clear and beautifully polished raindrop-shaped ruby necklace inside.
There were many female compatriots present, whether they were wives who came with their husbands, lovers who came with their sponsors, or strong women who stood firm with their own abilities. When they saw this necklace, a light flashed in their eyes.
It is the nature of every woman to like shiny and beautiful things.
There were many bidders, both men and women, and the bidding was called out one after another, bringing the atmosphere of the venue to a new height.
Some men sneered at the rising prices, while some men joined the bidding in order to win the favor of the beauty.
But after the price reached 280,000, which was beyond the market price, fewer people participated in the bidding. At this time, Lin Nan joined the bidding and bid 300,000.
Ning Qingyu was not interested at first, but he immediately chased after Lin Nan when he heard the price, and the price increase was not low, directly to 400,000.
Lin Nan glanced at him and raised the sign.
"Five hundred thousand! This gentleman bid five hundred thousand, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?" The host exclaimed, using words to encourage people.
Ning Qingyu looked indifferent, did not speak, and directly bid six hundred thousand.
Lin Nan understood that this man was against him, and he bid seven hundred thousand, and he must bid this necklace.
Ning Qingyu wanted to raise the price, but Ning Qingzhu grabbed his sleeve and looked at him disapprovingly: "Brother!"
The Ning family has more men than women, so the extra ones are naturally not rare. Therefore, Ning Qingzhu has been loved by the elders and cousins since she was a child. She originally wanted to make Lin Nan spend a lot of money, but after Ning Qingzhu shouted like this, Ning Qingyu knew that the other party was not happy, and snorted coldly, "Why, are you worried about your mistress?"
"Brother~", Ning Qingzhu sighed helplessly, "He's not a mistress, he's my boyfriend."
"It's hard to say, I think no matter grandpa and grandma or uncle and uncle, they won't agree." Ning Qingyu said.
"I know that too, so I haven't figured out how to tell them yet, brother, don't say it." Ning Qingzhu was also very worried. In the hearts of the elders, she deserves the best, but love is not based on status.
Ning Qingyu didn't say anything, Ning Qingzhu took it as his consent.
Without Ning Qingyu's bidding, and the price had already exceeded the value, no mermaid Lin Nan competed for it, and finally the necklace was bought by Lin Nan at a high price of 700,000.
Zhao Xuan on the side was so distressed that he wanted to vomit blood. All this money was earned by him with great difficulty, but it was squandered by the boss. However, what can he do, who makes him the boss?
"Okay, don't be so stingy, money is earned to be spent." Lin Nan couldn't bear to see Zhao Xuan like that, and comforted him a few words.
