Chapter 168: I can only bring three items at most! I'm afraid of going bankrupt!
Say something.

The air quality in Chongqing is indeed quite good.

However, this only applies to the area surrounding the hotel where Lu Yiming is staying.

Lu Yiming doesn't have a particular desire for luxury goods, but when it comes to travel, he's like Fu Xiaoli, enjoying places that are "a sea of small commodities, a shopper's paradise."

When he told Lin Ke his thoughts.

Lin Ke said with a rather complicated expression, "President Lu, those kinds of places are very chaotic and not very safe. I suggest you don't go to those kinds of places."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming's expression turned to surprise.

Although he doesn't "yearn" for foreign countries like "public intellectuals".

However, for a well-known city like Chongqing, he felt that it shouldn't be described as "chaotic" or "unsafe."

Seeing the confusion on Lu Yiming's face.

Lin Ke explained, "City of Fog is known as the capital of theft and robbery. Places like the Elephant Castle shopping mall that Mr. Lu wants to go to, even the more famous ones, are filled with the smell of expired yogurt and are full of scavengers, mental patients, and idle people. I personally suggest that you try to avoid such places, Mr. Lu. Of course, this is just my personal suggestion!"

As mentioned earlier, Chongqing is known as the capital of theft and robbery.

The text then mentions scavengers, mental patients, and idlers.

The word "mental illness" is pronounced very heavily.

Judging from her facial expression, Lu Yiming guessed what she was talking about.

Lu Yiming felt that Lin Ke's description was somewhat exaggerated.

But listening to advice has always been one of Lu Yiming's strengths.

The reason they approached Lin Ke was because she had more than ten experiences flying to Chongqing.

Of course, I choose to believe her.

The car and driver were provided by the hotel.

Fu Xiaoli selected the attractions, while Lin Ke was responsible for planning the order.

For example, this afternoon they plan to visit Westminster Abbey and the British Museum.

Lin Ke is a tour guide who knows how to liven up the atmosphere.

On the way to Westminster Abbey, she would occasionally share some interesting local anecdotes.

For example, at this moment she turned to the two of them and asked with a smile, "Do you know how we outsiders distinguish between the rich areas and the poor areas of Chongqing?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli both shook their heads.

Lin Ke immediately laughed and said, "You can tell by the number of black people! If you observe the ten people closest to you on any street, and more than five of them are black, then it's a slum. Conversely, if you see that at least nine out of ten people nearby are not black, then it's a rich area!"

Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli were listening attentively to her "science popularization".

At this moment, the driver suddenly said, "If you find that only one out of ten people nearby is a black guy, listen to me! Run!"

It wasn't surprising that the driver could speak Chinese.

The hotel offers services in Chinese.

Hearing this, Lin was overjoyed.

Unfortunately, Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli didn't get what made them laugh.

However, my impression of the city of Chongqing dropped by half a star.

Nobody likes a chaotic and unregulated city.

Just like when Lu Yiming encountered a street gunfight in Gotham, the people of Gotham were used to it, but he was really scared and stayed obediently in the hotel without any intention of going out.

This has nothing to do with being timid.

I simply don't want to put myself in a high-risk situation.

This is an instinct.

Some places can only be truly appreciated by visiting them in person.

This is something no high-resolution image can achieve.

The group finished their visit to Westminster Abbey at 3 p.m. and rushed to the British Museum, where they were amazed by the sheer size of its collection.

The British Museum is one of the world’s largest and most famous museums.

The museum's vast collection is enough to showcase almost the entire history of world civilization.

The museum houses more than 700 million artifacts and treasures from around the world, a collection so rich in quantity and variety that it is unparalleled among museums worldwide.

Lu Yiming looked at the many national treasures inside, all labeled as originating from their China.

His expression was quite complex.

"We must find a way to get these things back when we get the chance!"

Lu Yiming stood in front of one of the collections and murmured to himself.

Lin Ke overheard this.

However, she didn't take it too seriously. Lu Yiming wasn't the only one with this thought; she had the same thought when she first came here.

When visiting tourist attractions, it's natural to want to buy some souvenirs.

Fu Xiaoli especially loves these little gadgets.

I always bought a lot of things when I went on previous trips.

"Wow, it's so expensive!"

Lu Yiming's change in consumption habits relied entirely on the system's forceful pull and coaxing.

Fu Xiaoli's consumption habits had not changed at this time.

The price of any "exquisite and fashionable small gift" starts at £9.90.

His brows were furrowed deeply.

Then look at the tag; it says the product is from Yiwu.

He grinned and put down what he was holding.

At this point, we have to praise the strength of our motherland. Apart from local handicrafts, we have at least a 50% market share in souvenir shops at tourist attractions around the world.

The streets of the foggy city at night.

Having found a "local" restaurant but not having high hopes for "local" cuisine, Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli decided to take a walk on the streets.

Lin Ke followed behind the two.

While waiting at the traffic light.

The young black man by the roadside caught Lu Yiming's attention.

At that moment, the guy was dancing Hip-Hop to the music.

Meanwhile, under a streetlamp not far away, two black men completed a transaction of money and goods in broad daylight, and then walked away after high-fiving and bumping shoulders.

Passersby were used to this.

At this time.

A slightly dilapidated convertible passed by in front of them.

The deafening sound of life going on played out.

Inside the car, the two men, Nige and Nijie, danced to the music. Their amazing coordination and unparalleled elegance made Lu Yiming's lips twitch.

They then walked only two streets.

I encountered police sirens at least three times as they drove in different directions.

At this moment, Lu Yiming turned around and looked at Lin Ke with a rather serious expression, saying, "I've made up my mind! That's enough for today! Let's go back to the hotel!"

Evaluation of this city.

Lu Yiming felt it was comparable to Gotham City.

It's alright, except for the tourist attractions.

The various details in the city reduced Lu Yiming and his wife's positive feelings towards the city to less than one-tenth of what they had felt before they arrived.

However, this was something they brought upon themselves.

Lin Ke had informed him of all of this beforehand.

The good news is that the two didn't trigger the city's other title today, "City of Acid Throwing."

For street crime gangs in Chongqing, using guns and knives is already considered too "vulgar".

In recent years.

The most popular weapon is strong acid.

In 2016.

The "acid-throwing capital" experiences at least one acid-throwing attack on average every day.

It has now decreased.

But it only returned to the standards of 15.

On the way back, Lin Ke brought up this matter.

This made Lu Yiming shiver involuntarily.

I also realized that I might have gone a bit too far.

Lin Ke continued, "There's no need to be too afraid! Certain areas are relatively safe."

The choice of words is quite subtle.

What a convenient way to describe "relatively" safe.

Lu Yiming immediately shrugged and said, "I think hotels are the safest!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Ke wore a sullen smile.

The hotel is certainly safe.

Lu Yiming was staying at a top-tier hotel; if it can't even provide security, it might as well close down.

The next morning.

Lu Yiming decided to take a stroll in the park near the hotel.

He even asked the hotel staff to help him buy two expensive bicycles so he could ride them with Fu Xiaoli.

Full carbon fiber body.

In addition, there are complimentary protective gear.

The total cost for two cars is exactly £10,000.

Including the tip, Lu Yiming paid the other party a total of £10,500.

There's nothing to complain about regarding the level of greenery here.

There are so many parks that they could be connected together.

After cycling for about five kilometers.

The two locked the car in the designated parking area.

Then we began a stroll along an unnamed artificial lake.

They occasionally encountered some young runners. Following the topic Lin Ke had discussed yesterday, they found that all ten of the runners they encountered were white, which put their minds at ease.

However, the eleventh one he encountered was Nigo.

The two of them also became very vigilant.

Fortunately, the guy was enjoying music with his headphones on and didn't notice Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli walking to the other side of the road.

The two chatted and laughed as they walked around the huge artificial lake.

Just as I arrived at the parking spot and was about to ride my bike back to the hotel.

The two people each held an ice cream cone.

Looking at the two remaining tires where the car was locked.

His expression turned to surprise.

hotel.

After returning from giving their statements, the two men completely lost faith in the city.

Lin Ke learned that their car had been stolen.

His expression was quite complex.

at this time.

Lu Yiming asked if there was any chance of recovering it.

After all, this was the first bicycle he had ever owned.

In this regard.

Lin Ke shrugged helplessly and replied, "Maybe it's already been sold to a used bicycle shop! It might even have a new owner!"

More than ten thousand pounds.

It's about 100,000 yuan.

It took less than two hours from when the hotel staff handed it over to when it was lost.

On average, the "rent" is 50,000 yuan per hour.

really.

It's so expensive abroad!

They were amazed by how outrageous the prices were abroad.

Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli went back to their room to wash up, preparing to head to the Christie's preview after dinner.

The three of them went to the hotel lobby for lunch.

The Christie's representative from yesterday had been waiting for quite some time.

In yesterday's chat, he introduced himself as a permanent staff member sent here from Hong Kong.

The car is a stretched Lincoln.

Lu Yiming and his wife were not dressed too formally.

On the contrary, it highlights his status as a tourist. For example, Lu Yiming was carrying a backpack at this moment.

Inside are the three essentials for live streaming.

Live streaming-specific mobile phone, gimbal, and power bank.

This wasn't the first time Lu Yiming had ridden in a stretched Lincoln, but the one Christie's arranged for him to be the highest-end luxury model was probably the one he was in.

Like this kind of car.

It's very common for modification costs to exceed the car's price.

In the car, Lu Yiming looked at Qin Hao, the Christie's representative, and asked, "How many VIPs like me are there at this auction?"

From plane tickets to hotels.

Then there's the current reception standards and known services.

Lu Yiming estimated that the cost of receiving him was at least several hundred thousand yuan.

Qin Hao was wearing a tuxedo.

His overall demeanor is quite like that of a butler.

In fact, his job was to receive the company's VIPs.

Hearing this, Christie’s smiled and said, “Currently, we only have 67 VIPs worldwide. Four people are confirmed to participate in this autumn auction, and the schedule is arranged to start at 1 p.m. today. Each of them will have one hour to visit the auction.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming raised an eyebrow.

He has two hours.

They also observed Lu Yiming's micro-expressions.

Qin Hao nodded slightly and said, "Yes! VIPs are also divided into levels. Mr. Lu, you are our highest-level VIP, so naturally you are different from other VIPs."

No ink marks.

Lu Yiming silently praised the system.

Lin Ke sat in the assistant's seat to the side.

She also looked at Lu Yiming with considerable admiration.

Christie's top VIPs.

This identity is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface.

That's right!

After learning that the person she was serving was Lu Yiming.

She had looked up Lu Yiming's information.

It wasn't exactly a special investigation.

It was pushed directly to her by big data.

For example, if you and your friend start discussing computer configurations, and then you use your phone to browse Douyin (TikTok), you'll inevitably be bombarded with related advertisements.

We arrived at the preview location a little before 1 a.m.

As the first exhibitor this afternoon.

Lu Yiming doesn't need to be at the exact exact moment to enter.

The exhibition hall is about 200 square meters.

The total number of items in the collection is over a thousand.

There were four security guards at both the entrance and inside the gate.

No items carried by Lu Yiming were inspected.

Qin Hao led the three of them into the exhibition hall.

At this moment, Qin Hao said, "Then, Mr. Lu, you are free to tour the place? I remember you mentioned that you wanted to do a live broadcast. If you need any professional explanations, just let me know at the door!"

For a VIP like Lu Yiming.

Naturally, we should grant them the greatest possible degree of freedom.

That's the only way to satisfy him.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming nodded to indicate that there was no problem.

Equip the equipment.

He glanced at Fu Xiaoli, then at Lin Ke, and said, "I wonder if you could help me get the live streaming equipment?"

Lin Ke was naturally eager to do something for Lu Yiming to prove herself.

She is a person who knows how to behave appropriately.

Fu Xiaoli could only passively wait for an opportunity.

Now the opportunity has arrived.

She readily nodded and said, "No problem! Leave it to me!"

at this time.

8:45 AM, domestic time.

Lu Yiming's announcement of his broadcast stated that he would start broadcasting around 9 PM.

This left and right is very spiritual.

In addition, you can't go to the Douyin live stream room in advance to wait.

At this moment, a great many people were waiting for Lu Yiming to start his live stream.

soon.

At exactly 8:52.

Viewers who turned on the live stream notification.

The notification immediately flooded into Lu Yiming's live stream.

The booth environment was quite upscale.

Lu Yiming was also worried that not bringing lighting equipment might affect the live stream's quality.

However, the booth's ample lighting can achieve the effect of shadowless lighting.

At the moment the broadcast started, he was standing in front of a display case.

He looked at the camera and smiled, "Brothers! It's been a few days! I've missed you all so much!"

These words drew boos from the viewers.

Especially his smile, which clearly indicated he wasn't being sincere.

But this is not important.

At this point, their biggest concern was whether he was the Lu Yiming mentioned in Google's announcement.

Trends on the Chinese internet.

Lu Yiming naturally knew this.

Looking at the questions in the live chat.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "Not yet~"

This statement disappointed many viewers, as they had been enthusiastically praising Lu Yiming as a shareholder of Douyin for the past two days, only to be contradicted by Lu Yiming himself.

and many more!

They suddenly realized what was happening.

It seems that Lu Yiming is referring to the present situation!

at this time.

They watched Lu Yiming grinning mischievously in the live stream.

Sensing something, their expressions gradually turned to surprise.

Holy crap! It really is!

[President Lu is awesome!!!]

[I knew it! Only our CEO Lu could have the money to acquire ByteDance shares!]

【.】

Lu Yiming's smile says a lot.

Looking at the barrage of comments that had already started to celebrate.

Although Lu Yiming didn't understand what they were so happy about, he smiled and played along, saying, "That's right! It's not just now, we've already sent someone to go through the procedures at Google on my behalf, and it should be finalized within a week! It's just a small shareholder! Nothing to be proud of! Everyone, calm down!"

He's just a small shareholder, what the hell?

This is a billion dollars worth of shares.

Moreover, given ByteDance's current performance, the monetization potential of these shares could even reach a ratio of 1:1.5 or higher.

In other words, if Lu Yiming wants to sell these shares...

Immediately, someone offered 1.5 billion dollars to exchange for it!

This is a unicorn company that has been estimated by multiple capital firms to have a market value of over 200 billion within the next five years!

With Lu Yiming's debut.

The number of viewers watching the live stream is surging at a rate of thousands per second.

The number of online users exceeded 200,000 within just one minute.

And they continued their rapid advance toward 300,000 without slowing down.

Lu Yiming has not yet joined the current group.

The audience was drawn by the online news that "Lu Yiming will soon hold one percent of ByteDance's shares."

At this moment, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Brothers! Those who haven't joined the fan club yet, join now! For every 100,000 new fans, I'll bring back a collectible item to donate to the country, how about that? As for the fan club's income, I promise to donate it all to charity!"

The system allowed him to bid on five collectibles.

How to take advantage of this convenience is something he has been thinking about.

He only came up with his current idea after acquiring shares in ByteDance.

He doesn't lack the income from his fan club.

Just donate it.

This also allows the platform to act without any reservations.

Christie's auctions overseas mainly feature Chinese cultural relics that are not available for bidding in China. Although China welcomes the return of cultural relics, Lu Yiming does not have a hobby of collecting antiques.

This kind of thing should be placed in a museum for the world to see.

Instead of existing in the hands of an individual, dying and then passing through the hands of various people in history.

to be honest.

Even if you own a cultural relic, you only own it while you are alive. You are merely a passerby in the eyes of the cultural relic.

Someone who "once" owned it at some point in time.

It can't even be called a master.

The words fell.

Lu Yiming gestured for Lin Ke to move the camera slightly.

at this time.

The camera slowly rotated 360 degrees.

The exhibits were displayed to viewers in the live stream.

At this time, there were more than 500,000 viewers in the live stream.

As people watched the numerous artifacts flash by in the exhibition hall, and combined with what Lu Yiming had just said, it suddenly started raining in the live stream room as people started signing up for memberships.

A card with 100,000 yuan would only amount to 600,000 yuan.

Lu Yiming not only bids for items worth far more than 600,000 yuan, but he also promised to donate the proceeds to charity.

At the same time, Lu Yiming's commitment to public welfare goes without saying.

The previous 80 million was praised by official media.

at this time.

The fans are really generous with their membership cards.

Applying for a card can help Lu Yiming bring back a problem.

At the same time, they can do public welfare.

This live stream content is absolutely top-notch!

soon.

The issuance of 100,000 cards was completed in just three minutes.

And it is advancing towards 200,000 at a considerable pace.
