CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 171: A whopping £3!

Chapter 171 A whopping 30 million pounds!
Lu Yiming did not join the Overseas Cultural Relics Return Association.

I did accept their goodwill.

The next morning.

A white, extended Lincoln was parked in front of the hotel.

Lu Yiming yawned.

Fu Xiaoli and Lin Ke followed behind.

The three of them set off for the auction.

In the car.

Lin Ke presented the European travel plan she had prepared for the two of them.

He presented the plan to Lu Yiming with both hands and said quite respectfully, "Mr. Lu! This is a travel plan prepared for you and your wife according to your request."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming thanked him and accepted the gift.

After briefly browsing through the contents, he handed it to Fu Xiaoli, who was standing next to him.

He then looked at Lin Ke and said, "I remember you're a graduate student. Do you have any job plans yet?"

Hear this.

Lin Ke was both surprised and delighted.

Lu Yiming was definitely not asking casually.

She has both high IQ and high EQ.

She didn't go too far, but spoke with a rather regretful tone about the current employment prospects of her major and her confusion about finding a job after graduation.

Over the next few days.

Lu Yiming could sense her "proactiveness".

However, this proactive approach demonstrates a perfect balance.

It doesn't feel annoying.

At this moment, he looked at Fu Xiaoli beside him and asked, "How about going abroad twice a year from now on?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoli responded with a smile.

He nodded slightly.

Then Lu Yiming looked at Lin Ke and said, "If you don't mind, you can come and work for me after you graduate!"

Hire a private translator and tour guide.

In the past, Lu Yiming would never have wasted money like this.

But now he no longer thinks about money.

Do whatever makes you happy and comfortable.

The main theme is casualness.

This idea was finally formed after acquiring a stake in ByteDance.

The auction was held in a castle within a park.

The auction featured over two hundred items, and the entire auction process was divided into two parts.

The items displayed in the morning were all exquisite little objects.

The starting bids are all around ten thousand pounds.

While the other bidders were seated in the main hall, Lu Yiming and his two companions were led to a rather luxurious room.

A 100-inch screen hangs on the wall in front of the sofa.

At this moment, Qin Hao, who was receiving him, pointed to an antique landline phone on the coffee table and said, "Mr. Lu! If you see anything you like during the auction, you can just pick up this phone and state your price. We have prepared a Chinese-speaking operator for you."

After he finished speaking...

He walked up to the television.

Reach out and pull the curtains behind the TV to both sides.

The previously blocked floor-to-ceiling window was now visible.

At the same time, he pressed a button on the table.

You can see that the television set, which was originally suspended in mid-air, has risen up.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the auction venue, where many people had already begun to enter and take their seats.

At this moment, Qin Hao laughed and said, "Of course! If you feel the atmosphere isn't enough, you can just look at it like this. The glass is one-way, so you don't have to worry about people in the audience seeing this."

This was Lu Yiming's first time here.

Qin Hao gave him a detailed introduction to the functions and services offered here.

of course.

He couldn't easily introduce some of the hidden services because he was with his wife.

At last.

He stood at the door, gave a slight bow, and said to Lu Yiming and the others, "Then I will wait at the door. Please let me know if you need any service! Have a pleasant auction!"

at this time.

Fu Xiaoli was flipping through the books on the table.

These were all information about today's auction items, and Lin Ke explained the text to her.

Lu Yiming nodded and watched him leave.

Ready to start today's live stream.

It's 9 a.m. now.

That corresponds to 5 PM in China.

Because of the prior announcement, tens of thousands of people flooded into his live stream room immediately after it started.

Wow! Where is this? Haven't we arrived at the auction yet? I saw on the broadcast that people were already starting to enter!

[There shouldn't be a rush, right? After all, the six items Mr. Lu chose are all up for auction this afternoon.]

[Possibly! But is President Lu at a hotel right now? That sofa must be part of the presidential suite, right?]

【.】

The scrolling of comments is very fast.

Fortunately, Lu Yiming had prepared a tablet specifically for playing bullet comments this time.

Looking at the comments from the viewers.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "No! I've already arrived! But I'm in a private room!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming picked up his phone and began taking pictures of the surrounding environment.

Then he walked over to the television.

I drew back the curtains to show my viewers what was happening at the auction.

It's common knowledge among fans that Lu Yiming is a VIP.

However, the fact that such a high-class private room was arranged was unexpected for many people.

at this time.

The auction officially begins.

Sounds from the auction could be heard coming from Lu Yiming's room.

Although it's in English.

But with Lin Ke helping with the translation, it didn't cause any problems.

For many viewers in the live stream, this was their first time watching an auction from this perspective.

soon.

The first item in the collection started at a price of £10,000.

After much bidding, the deal was finally completed for over £30,000.

I thought the auction would be exciting, but the atmosphere was really subdued! It was just a bunch of bidding and raising paddles; nothing special at all.

[That's normal! Many of these people in the audience have their own targets; they wouldn't bid if they didn't. You don't think you can find bargains here, do you? Most of them are buying at a premium!]

[Is this considered an appetizer? I remember the estimated value was over 20,000, so getting 30,000 is pretty good! The main event is yet to come!]

【.】

Lu Yiming's live stream this time really opened the eyes of his viewers.

of course.

He was the same way.

If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

Two hours passed quickly.

Lu Yiming did not participate in the bidding, but instead interacted with his fans.

The viewers also knew that his target was not in the auction catalog that morning.

But soon.

When a ring appears on screen.

Lu Yiming turned to look at Fu Xiaoli, seeing the joy in her eyes, and immediately pointed the camera at the screen in front of him, where the auctioneer was introducing the ring.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Brothers! I'm planning to get this and give it to my wife!"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoli looked at him with considerable surprise.

He immediately said he didn't want it.

Lu Yiming, who had seen through everything, ignored it.

Instead, he gave Lin Ke a wink.

The latter nodded slightly.

Then, a simultaneous translation began of what the auctioneer was saying, introducing the ring.

"This is a twelve-carat fancy vivid pink diamond, only 6.96 carats smaller than the one auctioned last November. Although it is slightly smaller in weight, it is superior in terms of color uniformity and has almost no trace of nitrogen. It is a top-quality Type IIa diamond! I don't need to elaborate on the rarity of diamonds over ten carats! In Christie's more than 250-year auction history, only five such diamonds have been sold, and this is the sixth!"

This diamond ring was the highlight of today's auction.

It's worth noting that the one he mentioned last year was slightly more restrained.

The final transaction price was over 5 million Swiss francs.

That's equivalent to 400 million Chinese Yuan.

It set a new world auction record for the price of a single carat of pink diamond.

at this time.

Lin Ke announced the starting bid for the ring with a trembling voice.

"Starting bid: two million pounds! Minimum increment: multiples of five thousand pounds!"

This price caused a sensation in the live stream.

What does two million pounds mean?
Based on the current exchange rate.

The starting bid is over 18 million Chinese yuan.

Gems worth tens of millions are quite common in novels, but you should know that this is reality, and Lu Yiming has expressed his intention to participate in the bidding.

At this moment, the first person at the scene announced a price of 2.1 million.

Many people began to participate in the auction.

The price quickly reached three million.

Seeing the comments on the screen saying he should make his move, Lu Yiming immediately shook his head and said, "Don't panic! There are so many competitors right now! I'll wait until there are fewer competitors before I enter the fray. I estimate this ring shouldn't be less than five million."

As Lu Yiming finished speaking.

Someone in the live chat reminded him to include the unit.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Of course I know what kind of organization it is. How about this? Since you're all in such a hurry, I'll quote five million to test the waters first!"

They're going to start by offering a price of five million to test the waters.

Five million pounds is roughly fifty million Chinese yuan.

This time, Lu Yiming picked up the landline phone on the table.

He held it to his ear and whispered, "Five million!"

The words fell.

The auctioneer was pressing his hand against the headset in his left ear.

Then, he gestured towards Lu Yiming's private room and said, "In VIP Room Number One! Mr. Lu from China has offered five million pounds! That's a truly astonishing offer!"

How could it not be breathtaking?
Theoretically speaking, there is no market price for gems of this level; there is basically only a lower limit, and the upper limit depends on the buyer's mood.

But this ring doesn't actually have much of a chance to fetch a premium anymore.

After all, there is already a piece with approximately nineteen carats in existence, while this one is only twelve carats. They estimate that it would be very good if it could fetch more than four million at auction.

Lu Yiming's offer of five million was completely beyond expectations.

At this moment, many people at the scene were looking back.

Many of the people at the scene were proxy photographers.

As a highly sought-after item, this pink diamond naturally attracted a lot of attention, but Lu Yiming's offer of five million exceeded many people's budgets, forcing them to immediately contact their suppliers.

As for those with ample budgets...

They also had to consider whether it was necessary to compete with the person sitting in the VIP room.

After all, a price increase of several hundred thousand or even a million might not mean much to the person in the VIP room, but most people would need to weigh the pros and cons.

A one-carat pink diamond is worth between £20,000 and £30,000.

A ten-carat diamond typically starts at £200,000 and can go up to £2 million, depending mainly on the quality of the pink diamond.

This 12-carat coin could fetch five million pounds.

That's its fair and reasonable value.

The next step is to raise the premium.

However, the world has never lacked rich people.

soon.

The auctioneer covered his right ear again.

He then gestured to the left of Lu Yiming's VIP room and said, "In VIP Room Number Three! Lady Flanders has offered six million pounds!"

This offer caused a stir among the audience.
It's not because of the price.

Rather, it was the identity of this Sir Flander.

The Forbes rich list was recently released and made headlines in major media outlets.

Everyone is curious to know who the richest people on Earth are and how they made their fortunes.

Sir Frederick Flanders is ranked 46th globally among them.

His net worth is £230 billion.

The fact that his wife was able to participate in the auction was something that the "locals" present had not expected.

of course.

still have a question.

That is, the richest man's wife could only be in VIP box number three.

At this moment, many people in the room turned their attention to VIP box number one.

Everyone was curious about what made this person rank so high.

Lin Ke translated the auctioneer's words.

Lu Yiming was quite surprised to hear that someone had offered six million.

At this moment, Fu Xiaoli grabbed his arm.

When his gaze fell upon her, she said, "Forget it! This thing is too expensive. I admit I like it a little, but it's just that I like pink things, not precious gems."

Hear this.

Lu Yiming shook his head and laughed, "It's nothing! It's just a small amount of money! Since you like it, I'll buy it for you!"

Women often say things they don't mean.

Lu Yiming naturally didn't believe her nonsense.

He was simply worried about spending too much money, but in reality, he didn't need to spend any money at all, since the system would pay for it anyway. If he wasn't worried about being investigated for money laundering, he would have wanted to quote an outrageous price that would make everyone gasp.

The other party offered a price of one million in one go.

Lu Yiming was naturally not going to be ambiguous either.

Then he picked up the phone and quoted seven million.

As his offer came out.

Many people at the scene had expressions of watching a show.

After all, it's quite obvious that Box Number One is now going head-to-head with Box Number Three.

That 19-carat coin could sell for 400 million Chinese yuan.

The main reason is that this carat pink diamond is extremely rare, although there are still a few twelve-carat pink diamonds in existence, and anything over six million pounds becomes uneconomical.
It could even be described as irrational.

at this time.

With Lu Yiming's offer of seven million.

The Lady of Flanders in the third treasure chest has a smile on her lips.

This pink diamond is one of her collections.

I originally thought it would be good if it could sell for more than four million, but I didn't expect that the No. 1 VIP room would be sold out.

Let's cut off a piece of meat.

It's almost unfair to her as the wife of a capitalist.

of course.

No one knew that the pink diamond belonged to her.

At this moment, one of her assistants said, "Madam! We've found the information! The other party is a public figure from the East, and it seems he's doing a live broadcast right now. He intends to give this ring as a gift to his wife!"

Hear the sound.

Lady Flanders nodded.

He then picked up the microphone and said, "Nine million!"

A 12-carat pink diamond is worth at most six million on the market.

The fact that the other party offered seven million already proves that he is determined to win.

This nine million was her final offer.

She was certain that the Asian man in box number one would follow, after all, she understood Asians too well; this kind of people who valued face would not give up so easily.

at this time.

The audience gasped again at her offer.

Lu Yiming also frowned slightly.

Today's lucky dice rolled a six, and he only said the seven million offer after suppressing a strange feeling of nausea.

They immediately raised the price to nine million.

This amplified his discomfort to an extreme degree.

at this time.

The comments in the live stream were also divided into two camps.

One side hopes Lu Yiming will continue filming, while the other side hopes he will stop in time.

After all, Lu Yiming had just started filming.

Some viewers have already shared the market price range for a 12-carat pink diamond in the live chat.

Lu Yiming's main trait is that he listens to advice.

Even though the system will cover the costs, he doesn't need to be taken advantage of.

It is clear.

The current feeling of nausea comes from the system reminding me that anyone selling at this price is an idiot.

He immediately turned to Fu Xiaoli and said, "So you're giving up? I'll buy you a bigger one next time!"

Hear this.

Fu Xiaoli couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

She was genuinely worried that Lu Yiming would offer ten million pounds to buy this thing that wasn't important to her.

As for whether his words were just empty promises.

Neither she nor the viewers in the live stream had this idea.

After all, he really did offer seven million pounds.

at this time.

Many people at the scene were paying attention to Box Number One.

A price of nine million is already outrageous; it's safe to say that once it's sold, it will definitely be one of the top ten highest-priced items of the day.

But it's a pity.

Lu Yiming gave up.

Finally, the auctioneer brought down the gavel to congratulate Lady Flanders of Box 3 on acquiring this piece.

This prompted many people at the scene to applaud and celebrate.

however.

Lady Flanders was not happy.

Her expression was quite unpleasant at this moment.

Auctions charge a handling fee, and the recipient of the funds must also pay taxes.

This means she paid high fees and taxes.

Take back what rightfully belongs to you.

It would be strange if he had a good expression.

The auction for this ring has ended.

This means the first half of the auction has ended.

Lunch is served here at noon.

It can be considered a halftime break, or a social occasion.

However, Lu Yiming and the others did not leave the private room.

The food was brought by the waiter.

The local food here is actually terrible.

For example, when Lu Yiming and Fu Xiaoli went to a restaurant, Lin Ke helped translate and asked the staff to serve their restaurant's signature dish.

But I don't know if there's a problem with the translation.

Or perhaps the shop assistant has a misunderstanding.

They were served fish and chips, sausage, and mashed potatoes. For dessert, they were served a plate of chopped apples.

It's hard to believe that this is a signature dish offered by a restaurant that looks quite upscale.

After confirming that all the other "locals" around the four weeks had enjoyed their meal.

Lu Yiming gave it a try, hoping there might be something special inside.

The conclusion drawn is that this is not merely a facade.

It really doesn't qualify as gourmet food!
It's just edible!

This is the time.

Lu Yiming gave up his desire to explore the local cuisine.

The live stream chat seemed to be full of curiosity about the food on the table.

Lu Yiming shook his head with disdain and said, "I suggest that if you have the chance to come to Chongqing in the future, instead of eating their local food, you should consider other international cuisines!"

This assessment was refuted by some viewers in the live stream who had previously taken their children on trips to England.

In their opinion, Lu Yiming's assessment of being a big eater was a bit too high.

There's a classic joke in the West.

Heaven is a policeman with English accents, a technician from the Hans, and a chef from France; Hell is a policeman from the Hans, a technician from France, and a chef with English accents.

It's easy to imagine how much people and dogs dislike the food here.

of course.

Nothing is absolute.

Restaurants with an average price of £80-£100 per person can serve delicious, authentic British cuisine.

For example, Lu Yiming commented that he could eat a lot.

It's also because the restaurant he went to was quite upscale.

Seeing so many people complaining about the local food in the comments section is quite surprising.

Lu Yiming couldn't help but criticize the other directions as well.

For example, public security.

For example, the two cars he lost.

It's fair to say that his midday live stream turned into a roast session.

time flies.

One p.m.

The second half of the auction has begun.

Compared to the items auctioned in the first half, the items in the second half all started at £100,000.

soon.

The first of Lu Yiming's six items was carried to the scene.

"A bronze taotie-patterned vase with tubular handles! A national treasure from the East! Starting bid: £1.5 million! Minimum bid increments must be multiples of £5,000!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell.

Soon, a white man at the auction raised his paddle to bid.

Subsequently, people began to raise their placards.

The price reached two million pounds in just five minutes.

Regarding this collection.

Yesterday, Niu Daode conservatively estimated the value at over 40 million RMB.

They also gave a reasonable price range of four and a half million to five million pounds.

This estimate is based on previous years' estimates of similar bronze artifacts found overseas.

They also advised Lu Yiming not to ask for too high a price all at once.

Lu Yiming understood the suggestive expression on her face.

At this point, the price reached four million.

Only three companies remain in the competition.

He picked up the microphone and gave an offer of four million two hundred thousand pounds.

[Here it comes! President Lu has entered the fray! Does anyone know how much four million two hundred thousand pounds is?]

Around thirty-eight million! Mr. Lu is awesome!

Holy crap! Those three items will definitely cost over 100 million! Wasn't this supposed to be the cheapest?

[Haha! The average price is about the same! But this one is definitely the cheapest estimated price! It's certain that President Lu will spend 100 million today!]

Thankfully, the bidding for the nine million ring didn't continue, otherwise Mr. Lu might have ended up spending close to two hundred million today!

【.】

Many netizens are skeptical.

But then he bought a ring for seven million.

Such questioning has become a complete joke.

After all, once you start bidding, you have to be prepared for the possibility of a sale. Also, because there have been cases of bidders not paying in the past, auctions now require advance verification of funds, payment of a deposit, and signing of a contract.

Your offer is legally binding.

It's not something you can just shout out casually.

Lu Yiming shouted out 4.2 million.

Two of the three companies withdrew.

The remaining bidder continued to compete with him, bringing the price to four and a half million pounds.

The two of them added up to 10,000 each.

When Lu Yiming quoted 4.5 million.

After a long pause, the other party finally offered 4.5 million and 5 million.

Lu Yiming answered decisively, "Four hundred and sixty!"

They added almost 100,000 at once.

This nonchalant tone drove the viewers in the live stream crazy.

This is what it means to spend a fortune.

This price increase made the other party hesitate. At this moment, you can see that the white man who was competing with Lu Yiming is flipping through the documents and talking on the phone.

It is clear.

He was just a proxy photographer.

soon.

The other party added another five thousand.

It was the last moment before the gavel fell that prompted the sign to be raised.

This prompted viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream to angrily criticize the auctioneer for messing with their mentality.

However, this is also quite obvious.

The opponent has probably reached their limit.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "It's alright! My budget is more than enough! He's the one who should be worried! If he adds five thousand, I'll add another five thousand! Let's see where his limit is!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming picked up the microphone and gave his quote.

at this time.

The bidding price reached 4.61 million.

When the price reached 4.65 million.

The other party finally gave up.

As the auctioneer brought down the gavel on the ink stains.

Lu Yiming finally won the first item at the auction.

at this time.

The barrage was full of 666.

Lu Yiming spent over 40 million Chinese yuan this time.

And he did say that.

He intends to take this item back to China and donate it.

As the afternoon approached, the online buzz from the past two days had grown, and his live stream had nearly 600,000 viewers.

It was quite a spectacle of a live broadcast.

Looking at the excited viewers in the live chat.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Don't get excited! This is just the beginning! There are still two more of the three items I promised you! Let's take it slow! Let's try to get them all at this price, okay?"

Currently, there are many streamers in the live streaming industry who use spending money as their content.

There are also those who flaunt their wealth.

But people like Lu Yiming participate in auctions via live stream.

This is the first case of its kind on the entire internet.

The popularity is still rising, and the platform seems to be intentionally driving traffic to Lu Yiming. The number of online users is rapidly approaching one million in a short period of time.

Currently, Lu Yiming's live stream has been split into five channels.

This is the only way to ensure his live stream runs smoothly.

soon.

Lu Yiming and his fans agreed to meet at 3 PM.

After his third item sold for £4.9 million.

The three items cost a total of approximately £15 million.

The total comes to approximately 130 million Chinese yuan.

This immediately brought the atmosphere in his live stream to a climax.

[Ah~ That's awesome! Mr. Lu is amazing! 130 million! What kind of wealth is that!]

[I don't know why, but I was trembling all over while watching the live stream! Is this the allure of auctions?]

[This is too exciting! Three collectibles for 130 million! Mr. Lu is awesome!]

[I feel like CEO Lu has reached godhood! Spending 130 million on a single live stream for entertainment value is absolutely unprecedented and will likely never be repeated!]

【.】

The scrolling of comments is currently going crazy.

They were so frantic that Lu Yiming couldn't even understand what they were saying.

However, it's possible to guess roughly.

At this moment, Lu Yiming put down the landline microphone and laughed, "Alright! I've completed my mission, brothers! I wonder if you're satisfied with this live broadcast?"

Hear this.

The word "satisfied" began to flood the screen with comments.

Lu Yiming gave them an in-depth experience of the bidding process.

Although it was just picking up the phone to quote a price
However, it cannot be denied that...

Lu Yiming's live stream was absolutely a rare find.

The 130 million expenditure was all for himself.

The name of the charity anchor has become even more well-known.

However, this was met with reactions from the viewers.

Lu Yiming nodded and smiled, "That's good! I was just about to ask for leave! It's a rare opportunity to go abroad, and I have my wedding at the end of the month, so I'll just ask for leave and start broadcasting next month!"

He signed a contract with Douyin.

There was no set duration for his live stream.

However, it cannot be ruled out that if he doesn't broadcast, Douyin will make things difficult for him.

But he's not afraid of that now; he was notified this morning before he left that the one percent stake had officially taken effect.

The screen was filled with question marks upon hearing this.

Whether the live stream is good or not is one thing, but taking a month-long leave is just ridiculous.

However, Lu Yiming mentioned the wedding.

The majority of the comments immediately went to congratulations.

Many people also asked him if his wedding would be broadcast live.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "The wedding won't be broadcast live!"

The auction continues.

However, Lu Yiming no longer cared much.

Although the system says you can get five for free.

But he's not the type to want everything.

At this point, the audience interacted with the comments section about the wedding.

soon.

The highlight of this year's first autumn auction in Chongqing is about to be unveiled.

Lin Ke's reminder made Lu Yiming turn his attention from the live broadcast room to the screen.

The camera was instantly pointed at the screen.

at this time.

A waiter walked onto the stage carrying a tray.

The tray was then handed over to the auctioneer to remove the lid.

A bronze key appeared in the picture.

at this time.

The auctioneer chuckled, "That's right! Today's grand finale is a house! Or rather, a castle! A castle with an ancient exterior but a highly modern interior!"

The words fell.

Images appeared on the large screen behind him.

The house is located within a park in the foggy city.

It features its own rose garden and courtyard.

The house was purchased along with two hectares of nearby land.

After explaining, the auctioneer said, "The renovation cost of this house is seven million pounds. All the wood and furniture in the house are made of top-grade oak! The renovation was completed in February of this year. The owner is selling the house because of cash flow problems. Our estimate is that it is worth fifteen million pounds, with a starting bid of eight million pounds and a minimum increment of one hundred thousand pounds!"

Christie's rarely sells houses.

However, this house does have quite a few selling points.

The location is good enough.

In addition, the price is cheap enough.

This caught the eye of many wealthy "foreigners" present.

Fifteen million pounds is equivalent to more than 130 million Chinese yuan.

Such luxurious mansions are not uncommon even in China.

For example, in Shanghai's Zhongying Black Forest, one unit sold for 300 million yuan, with an area of over 2,700 square meters.

A more common example is the Evergrande Palace in the capital.

The average price ranges from 150 million to 200 million.

They are all top-tier luxury homes.

However, two hectares of land still seems somewhat insufficient.

at this time.

Lu Yiming looked at Fu Xiaoli standing to the side.

He immediately asked, "How about I buy this house? Then I'll have a place to stay when I come here in the future!"

What the hell is this place?!
The viewers in the live stream changed their expressions drastically upon hearing Lu Yiming's words.

This also includes Fu Xiaoli.

"No, thank you! It's too expensive! We only come here twice a year!"

Hear this.

Lu Yiming shook his head and said, "It's alright! We'll come here to escape the summer heat!"

Let’s put it this way!

雾都历史上最炎热的夏天出现在1976年——当时连续18天最高气温达到30℃以上，其中 15天的气温超过了32℃。

In addition, there's the level of greenery surrounding the house.

Lu Yiming felt it would be a great summer resort.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xiaoli and Lin Ke's expressions became quite complicated.

of course.

The situation is even more complicated with the viewers in the live stream.

at this time.

The auction has begun.

Many wealthy individuals were involved in the purchase of this property.

The price went from the starting bid of eight million pounds to over ten million pounds.

at this time.

Lu Yiming picked up the microphone.

He said directly, "Fifteen million pounds!"

Discontinuous pricing is not uncommon.

However, a fault line of five million is indeed extremely rare.

As the auctioneer read out Lu Yiming's bid in an excited, trembling voice to his private room.

The scene fell silent.

"Another bid! Mr. Lu from the East has offered 15 million pounds! Is there anyone else bidding? This mansion is quite rare! Especially since it's a brand new house that no one has lived in yet!"

An autumn auction typically sees bids totaling hundreds of millions of pounds.

A single item reaching 15 million pounds is already quite extravagant.

The global economy has been sluggish in recent years.

If this house had been there three years ago...

Doubling the price is no problem.

at this time.

Lu Yiming's offer shocked many people.

The valuation was originally 15 million.

They could probably rebuild one themselves for less than 15 million, but the owner of this house put a lot of effort into the renovation and saved them the time and effort of waiting.

The accounts didn't add up.

Naturally, no one continued bidding.

soon.

This was after they realized that no one was continuing to submit bids.

The auctioneer finally brought down the gavel three minutes after Lu Yiming made his bid.

And so it happened with the fall of that hammer.

This means that Lu Yiming spent 30 million pounds at this auction!

at this time.

Many viewers in the live stream were watching the auction live on Christie's website.

Once the transaction is completed.

They all had blank expressions.

Fifteen million doesn't sound like much.
