CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 172 Eat shit, Liang Feifan!
The auctioneer was passionately explaining the item.

As for the people at the auction.

All I can say is that their expressions were different.

There were Asian faces full of anger, Asian faces full of amusement, white faces full of mockery, and black men laughing heartily.

at this time.

Lu Yiming pressed the call button.

Qin Hao, who was waiting at the door, pushed the door open and came in.

Lu Yiming frowned and looked at her coldly, saying, "Is this how Christie's treats its customers? You should know what the appearance of this item means to me, right?"

National treasures are also classified into different levels.

Some of them are national treasures of public opinion.

It is mainly through publicity that it has reached the level of a national treasure.

But take the bronze heads of the twelve zodiac animals as an example.

This is a true national treasure.

It also falls under the category of cultural relics that have been recovered.

Yes, they are on the list.

Christie's has auctioned similar items before; in fact, their previous auction of the bronze head caused quite a stir.

Upon hearing this, Qin Hao said apologetically, "I'm sorry! The final and main items here are the responsibility of the local association, and we cannot interfere with their choices."

Qin Hao was just an employee.

It's no use taking your anger out on Lu Yiming.

Hearing this, he nodded and said, "Then you should tell your superiors! From this moment on, I unilaterally refuse to become your VIP! At the same time, I will refuse to pay for the property I just purchased! Furthermore, I strongly condemn your public auction of national treasures listed in our country's recovery catalog!"

Hear this.

Qin Hao looked troubled.

Lu Yiming then gestured for him to leave.

This scene drew applause and cheers from the viewers in the live stream.

It was after watching Qin Hao leave.

Lu Yiming sat down again, looked at the camera, and said, "Damn it! These bastards are really inhuman! But now that they've been born, we can't let them end up in other people's homes. Today, I have to film them and bring them home!"

This family uses the word "character" very well.

The auction had already begun.

The starting bid for the two bronze heads is two million pounds.

The minimum bid increase is £100,000.

The most recent auction of the bronze animal heads took place at the end of last year.

The dragon head was bought by a Chinese man for 240 million euros at a small auction.

However, the identity of this dragon head is questionable.

After all, the price is too low.

It's important to understand that the meaning of the dragon is quite different.

The horse head statue was auctioned off for over 70 million euros in 2007, so this one is only 2.4 million euros, which is also over 20 million euros.

However, the horse head, being the zodiac animal of Emperor Qianlong, also boasts the highest level of craftsmanship among the twelve zodiac animal heads.

The high price is reasonable.

Lu Yiming was so angry because he could sense that the two bronze heads were real!

at the same time.

In the auction hall, Lin Dongliang frowned as he looked at the two bronze heads on the stage.

He couldn't be sure if it was true or false.

But this thing has to be photographed no matter what!

Even if it's fake!
The West will use every means to launch a propaganda offensive. If these two bronze heads are bought up and used to make a fuss, it will be more than just a matter of money.

at this time.

He was surrounded by members of the Overseas Cultural Relics Return Association.

They were all representatives sent by various companies.

They looked at Lin Dongliang.

His eyes were asking what to do.

He met the questioning gazes of the crowd.

Lin Dongliang sighed softly and said, "Go ahead and film it! What I'm worried about now isn't that they're after the money!"

Using national treasures as leverage.

Demand ransom.

This is something the West has been doing all along.

However, they had always done it in a big way before, this is the first time they've done it so secretly.

It's estimated that they plan to strike with lightning speed.

The condemnation they face at that time will not do them any harm.

After all, the deal has already been made.

The collectibles market is quite enthusiastic about national treasures, even if it means facing pressure from a major Eastern power.

The price starts at £200 million.

It quickly rose to ten million pounds.

This price is already outrageous.

at this time.

Several people expressed their regret to Lin Dongliang that he did not have enough money to continue the auction.

Christie's aims to prevent bidders from backing out after the auction.

Apart from their VIPs.

All of these require verification of capital and the signing of relevant agreements.

Their bidding quota is also linked to the verification results.

We've already filmed a lot of things before.

That ten million pounds, nearly a hundred million, is not something these entrepreneurs can come up with.

Upon hearing this, Lin Dongliang nodded in understanding.

soon.

The price reached an astonishing 15 million pounds.

The last entrepreneur on Lin Dongliang's side shook his head, indicating that he could not take the film.

This plunged Lin Dongliang into despair.

at this time.

There were still five people bidding.

Four white faces and one Asian face.

One of them was an old acquaintance.

It was the same person who had previously competed with the well-known patriot Mr. He for the horse head.

soon.

When the price reached twenty million pounds.

This exorbitant price has left many people speechless.

That's already ten times the starting bid!

at this time.

The Asian man gritted his teeth and quoted £21 million.

Lin Dongliang sighed, "At this price, there's really no need to bid anymore."

Patriotic fervor was exploited.

This is a common tactic used by the West.

It is also a very effective tactic.

There are calls within China for the bronze animal heads to be returned to the country, but not through a buyback; instead, they should be pursued through diplomatic and moral appeals.

After all, if you buy one or two items, what about the thousands or tens of thousands of other items?
Should we buy it back too?
Buybacks will only fuel the greed of international speculators, leading to greater costs and encouraging tomb raiding and cultural relic smuggling.

But everyone understands the big principles.

How to handle it after encountering it is another matter entirely.

In Lin Dongliang's view.

It would be a good deal to acquire these two bronze heads for under ten million pounds.

Twenty million is simply outrageous.

at the same time.

Two middle-aged men were sitting in VIP box number two.

The small round hats they wore on their heads highlighted their identity.

at this time.

The two were chatting and laughing.

"Easterners' money is so easy to make! They're willing to spend 20 million on just two pieces of junk!"

"What's so special about this! Guess what! Once that guy on the sidelines gives up, will our guy next door step in?"

"Probably, right? After all, he's Chinese too!"

"Want to bet? I bet he can push the price up to fifty million!"

"Fifty million? That's outrageous! But I'll bet you!"

at this time.

Lu Yiming was watching the auction proceedings.

The viewers didn't urge him in the chat, knowing that Lu Yiming was probably waiting for the right moment to make his move.

soon.

When the price reached 25 million.

The young man with Asian features tried to raise his hand several times, but was stopped each time by those around him, who even snatched the bidding paddle from his hand.

at this time.

Lu Yiming picked up the microphone and said in a deep voice, "Twenty-five million one hundred thousand!!"

Say something.

The VIPs from Box 1 leave the room.

This was entirely expected by everyone present.

Lin Dongliang also turned around and looked up at VIP room number one.

His eyes were filled with worry.

It is clear.

This is a game.

Moreover, it is very likely a scheme targeting Lu Yiming.

He didn't know how much money Lu Yiming had, but since he was a VIP in the number one box, he could easily come up with at least 100 million pounds.

But there's no need for that!
It's already reached this price.

This is clearly a pig butchering scam!

soon.

The price was 25.1 million, quoted by Lu Yiming.

It has reached 40 million.

At this point, Lu Yiming was only competing with one other person.

It was the one who fought for the horse's head.

[Mr. Lu! Forget it! This price is outrageous! Forty million pounds!]

[Yes! Three hundred million Chinese yuan is outrageous! Mr. Lu, please give in!]

[That's enough, Mr. Lu! Stop filming! The government has already issued a statement condemning this!]

[Yes! I saw the message too! Mr. Lu, let's call it off!]

【.】

In just over half an hour.

Prices range from two million pounds to forty million pounds. A full twenty-fold difference.

Viewers started to feel sorry for Lu Yiming for the money he spent.

Seeing his angry face, I assumed he had lost his temper.

They started offering advice in the comments section.

However, Lu Yiming's anger was not because he was impulsive, since he had spent the system's money on the auction. His anger came from a feeling in his heart.

Today's lucky dice number is six.

This means that he can sense something mysterious in the unseen realm.

For example, the simplest thing is that in this state, no one can lie to him.

at this time.

He sensed that the auction was targeting him.

Looking at the comments section.

Lu Yiming said in a deep voice, "Don't panic! I'm not acting impulsively! Since I'm here, I'll bid even if it's 100 million, let alone 40 million!"

The words fell.

The two middle-aged men next door, wearing small round hats, burst out laughing.

at this time.

There was a screen in front of the two people.

Each of them was wearing a Bluetooth headset.

Lu Yiming's words were simultaneously interpreted to their ears.

"Haha! One hundred million? That's quite an boast! But does he really have that kind of money?"

The person speaking is the one on the left.

Upon hearing this, the man on the right shook his head and said, "I don't know! I tried to investigate his background, but all I found was what was on the surface. With just what he had on the surface, he couldn't possibly get the top VIP status here."

This scheme was planned by the two of them.

However, Lu Yiming was not originally the target.

It was only after I started paying attention to him that I shifted my focus to him.

At this moment, the man on the left laughed and said, "Want to give it a try?"

Hear this.

The person on the right has a slightly furrowed brow.

Fifty million was the limit they estimated Lu Yiming could accept.

After all, he didn't even flinch when he spent 30 million before.

But 100 million is different.

If the other party withdraws, they will need to pay auction fees, plus taxes, which will cost them a lot of money.

He shook his head and said, "Let's not! The profit has already reached a hundredfold. If we get greedy, it's easy to run into problems."

Hear this.

The person on the left looked at him with disdain.

He then said, "Okay then! I'll take responsibility! I'll take the blame if anything goes wrong, but you won't get any of those profits!"

The two animal heads were provided by the two individuals.

The cost is only a few hundred thousand pounds.

But in order to make this happen.

They have already spent over a million pounds.

This included bribing Christie's staff in the Chongqing department to ensure that these two items could be presented as a large-scale display.

Lu Yiming's words were meant to show the person on the left that there was a greater profit to be made.

Upon hearing this, the person on the right paused to think for a moment.

He then said, "Okay! But we need a written agreement! You have to guarantee my profit!"

The two are business partners.

Cooperation naturally revolves around mutual benefits.

Upon hearing this, the man on the left readily agreed.

Ten minutes.

The two signed a contract.

at this time.

The price has reached fifty million.

At that moment, Lu Yiming's bidding opponent received a phone call.

Then came the direct offer of 55 million!

Another five million bid has appeared!
There was a gasp of surprise from the crowd!
"This is insane! Fifty-five million pounds! This is the most insane auction in recent years!"

"Are the Chinese in Box Number One that rich? They've already spent almost 30 million, right? Are they going to spend 100 million pounds?"

"Are Chinese people really that rich now?"

"My God! Who is this guy?! Is he planning to spend a hundred million today?"

The crowd at the scene was abuzz with discussion about it.

This is the final grand finale.

The level of excitement in this auction surpassed Christie's previous record.

Even if it ends at fifty million pounds.

It can also be in the top three.

However, the bidding was still ongoing.

When the auctioneer excitedly announced that the bid for Box 1 was 60 million pounds.

There was an uproar at the scene.

Many people stood up and looked at the number one VIP box behind them.

at this time.

The number of viewers in Lu Yiming's live stream reached one million.

Actually, it had already reached a million views an hour ago, but the platform's maximum display is only 100 million+. Currently, the live stream is being split into as many as eight different channels.

The comments section was full of people saying that Quan Luyiming should let go.

But Lu Yiming did not.

After the other party offered £6500 million.

Lu Yiming picked up the phone immediately and said, "Eighty million!"

What the hell!

Damn it! ! !

As soon as he said that, the live stream chat erupted in a chorus of "Wow!"

The barrage of comments caused Lu Yiming's live stream to lag.

At this moment, Lu Yiming's phone was so hot that he couldn't touch it with his hands.

This live stream is probably over.

His phone's lifespan is also coming to an end.

After the auctioneer announced the bid for Box Number One in a trembling voice.

The scene immediately erupted in excitement.

If a price premium of five million is considered a significant drop, then...

So fifteen million is in the atmosphere.

at the same time.

The next room, number two.

The person on the right looks at the person on the left holding a phone with a hesitant expression.

He immediately laughed and said, "Is that enough? If you keep shouting and he gives up, you'll be seriously injured!"

Christie's auction house charges 12% on the portion exceeding $100 million.

But for VIPs, it's only five percent.

However, as the recipient of the money...

They also have to pay a high luxury tax.

You only get seventy out of almost a hundred dollars.

Nearly 30% loss.

This is precisely why the lady in the next booth, number three, was angry.

Moreover, the two had just signed a contract.

This person needs to ensure his profits.

Once Lu Yiming chooses to give up.

It's fair to say he'll have to throw in at least a large portion of the transaction amount.

Based on £80 million.

This person will suffer a loss of at least £60 million.

While this may seem insignificant compared to the assets he possesses, assets and cash flow are two different things, and £60 million in cash flow is enough to put him in a very difficult position.

It's not impossible that it could even trigger a domino effect.

However, it is better to die for a fellow Daoist than for oneself.

Although they don't have this proverb, proverbs from different countries are actually quite interchangeable.

Hearing this, the man on the left shook his head and said, "No rush! He should still have some room to spare! I'll have someone make another offer! Just one more time!"

at this time.

The person on the right shook his head as he looked at him.

However, the profits are indeed substantial and addictive.

He got up and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

You can see that the guy competing against Lu Yiming is on the phone.

soon.

This person is holding up their bidding paddle.

The price of 95 million came out of his mouth.

The unit is pounds!
crazy!

Really crazy!

At this moment, countless people in the scene were watching the person who stood up and read out this crazy offer.

What does 95 million pounds sterling even mean?!

The richest man only has a little over 20 billion pounds!

And what they have are assets!
It's not cash flow!

soon.

Their eyes all turned to the number one VIP box.

Waiting for a response from VIP Box Number One.

They were absolutely certain that once this offer was made, based on the previous momentum, it would definitely be a bid of 100 million!

One hundred million pounds!

What an exaggeration!
It can be said that once the person in box number one makes another offer...

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they'll be remembered in history!
Yet at the same time.

Lu Yiming was already standing at the door with his schoolbag on his back.

Holding a gimbal, he grinned broadly and said to the camera, "Alright! I'm not filming anymore! Hahaha! Ninety-five million pounds? Eat shit, Leung Fei-fan! Do you really think I'm stupid?!"

I can't take it anymore!
I'm so sleepy!
