Rebirth 2004: I can make money by writing.

Hao Qiang gave new instructions to the financial team that they could buy once the share price of Tengxun fell below HK$40.

This time, he plans to hold on for the long term.

Unless you encounter financial difficulties, you will not sell easily.

The next day,

With the start of the National Day holiday, Future Technology Group also has a few days off.

The Mid-Autumn Festival just passed two weeks ago, and as usual, the company distributed holiday benefits for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day together.

During their rare free time, Hao Qiang took Han Qingying to the port city for shopping.

When it comes to purchasing diamond jewelry, Hong Kong is undoubtedly the best choice.

However, if one wants to buy jadeite, Hao Qiang knows that Jieyang, Guangdong Province is one of the world's largest jade processing and distribution centers, and the prices are much cheaper than those in shopping mall counters. Often, jadeite of the same quality can be bought at a discount of 20% to 30%.

In just one day, Hao Qiang spent 30 million yuan on diamond necklaces and earrings.

Han Qingying doesn't have pierced ears, and Hao Qiang doesn't want her to either, preferring a more natural look.

Wearing a diamond necklace worth tens of millions of yuan, paired with her exquisite collarbone and shoulder and neck lines, she perfectly demonstrates her luxurious and elegant temperament.

Especially after changing into a white strapless dress, she is extremely beautiful.

"Brother Qiang, we don't need to buy so much jewelry, right? There are still three sets."

At the beginning, Han Qingying did not agree with Hao Qiang's extravagance.

“It’s not safe to keep money in the bank, so we need to buy some collectibles as risky investments and invest in multiple areas.

It doesn’t matter if you make a loss. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can still sell it.

Besides, I need to use it myself on some occasions." Hao Qiang explained that he was tired of being poor, and now that he finally had money, he decided to buy some valuable collections.

He plans to not only have assets domestically, but also invest abroad to diversify risks.

Moreover, these assets are not limited to his personal name.

As for the inheritance of wealth, Hao Qiang felt that it might not last more than four generations.

If his descendants could inherit his four-dimensional attributes or genes, even a small part, like the imperial blood inheritance in the novel, then it would be possible to create a wealthy family that would last for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Oh, so that's it." Han Qing suddenly realized.

The next day around 2:00 PM,

The two came to the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, No. 1 Harbour Road, Wan Chai, to attend Christie's autumn auction.

Each year's autumn auction has a three-day exhibition period, followed by a five-day official auction. This year, there are more than 2400 lots, spanning ancient and modern times, with a total of fourteen categories of auctions, including the most eye-catching auctions in each field.

Some time ago, Hao Qiang received auction promotional materials from Christie's.

Rich people from home and abroad are all distinguished customers of Christie’s auction house.

Hao Qiang likes calligraphy and painting, such as those of Zhang Daqian, Li Keran and Qi Baishi, or oil paintings of foreign masters.

This type of work is easier to collect, and he plans to display some in his office and home.

He also likes court porcelain, or jade.

The items auctioned this afternoon were all estimated to be worth over one million Hong Kong dollars, attracting many wealthy people to participate and pay deposits.

Of course, if you do not want to participate or are not comfortable disclosing your personal information, you can entrust Christie’s staff to bid on your behalf by phone.

However, Hao Qiang wanted to experience the atmosphere of a live auction.

When Hao Qiang and Han Qingying walked into the exhibition center, they met many wealthy people and celebrities.

"Hello, Mr. Hao, I didn't expect you to be here too."

Hao Qiang turned around and saw Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Zheng Tong, the chairman of Xinshijie Development. He politely replied, "Well, come and take a look and feel the atmosphere of the auction."

At the end of 2006, the two had a telephone conversation, and Hao Qiang purchased two residential buildings in Triumph New World Fontainebleau.

"Oh, me too. If you are free, Mr. Hao, you are welcome to visit my home."

"Okay." Hao Qiang replied with a smile.

After he took a few steps, two more people greeted him, one of whom was the celebrity Chow Yun-fat.

"Brother Wei, who is that young man who is so popular among the big guys in Hong Kong City?"

Wang Xin participated in the Miss Hong Kong pageant last year and won the runner-up. She signed with TBV and debuted in the entertainment industry, but currently has no works.

Today, she accompanied her colleague Zeng Wei out for a stroll, mainly to join in the fun. She heard that the afternoon auction would be different and many bigwigs would participate.

Zeng Wei took a look and recognized it, saying, "Of course it's Hao Qiang from Future Technology Group!"

"He is Hao Qiang. I didn't recognize him. He was dressed very casually without any jewelry on. So was his female companion." He just refused to admit that the other person was pretty.

"Haha, she has a net worth of tens of billions and has gotten rid of the vulgar taste of showing off with clothes. I heard that she spends all day in the laboratory." Zeng Wei shrugged his shoulders and grinned, feeling that this woman who just won the runner-up of Miss Hong Kong was so ignorant.

Apart from having a nice figure, her IQ is so low that even Hao Qiang doesn't know about it, and she still wants to marry someone of high status.

Hao Qiang entered the auction hall, registered and took a bidding card No. 08.

He had contacted Christie's in advance, expressed his willingness to participate in the auction, and paid a deposit.

If you are an ordinary person, you may need to provide a bank credit certificate.

For some special or high-value lots, additional eligibility review may be required.

Of course, there is no need to review the assets of wealthy people like Hao Qiang.

After Hao Qiang and Han Qingying sat down, they leisurely browsed the auction catalog.

"Just take a picture of whatever you like," Hao Qiang said easily.

Han Qingying nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't understand much about this."

Hao Qiang shrugged and smiled, "To be honest, I'm not an expert either. Just mark the ones you like and I'll do the bidding."

Han Qingying browsed casually and was surprised to find that the starting prices were all over one million Hong Kong dollars.

But when he thought of Hao Qiang's financial resources, he felt relieved.

While they were chatting, they unknowingly marked more than a dozen items in the catalog.

The auction started on time at 3 pm.

Hundreds of people gathered at the scene, including many foreign collectors.

Although participants come from various countries, today's auction is denominated in Hong Kong dollars and the auctioneer will give the entire presentation in English.

It is not surprising that most Hong Kong people can speak English.

The first lot to be auctioned is Zhang Daqian's modern and contemporary ink painting "Imitating Wang Meng's Summer Mountain Hidden Picture", with a starting price of HK$300 million and each bid increase of no less than HK$10.

The image of the painting was displayed on the big screen, and two staff members presented the real object to the guests.

The auctioneer finished his introduction and announced the start of bidding.

Instantly someone raised their hand and the bidding became fierce.

"No. 256, HK$310 million!"

"No. 54, HK$330 million!"

"No. 256, HK$340 million!"

"No. 15, HK$350 million!"

The atmosphere at the auction site gradually heated up, with bidding sounds coming one after another.

When the bidding climbed to HK$800 million, only two bidders remained in the competition.

Hao Qiang raised his sign and calmly called out, "HKD 850 million."

"No. 15, HK$870 million!"

"No. 08, HK$1000 million!"

Hao Qiang was unwilling to increase the price gradually and directly raised the price significantly.

This action attracted the attention of the whole audience. Everyone then recognized that it was Hao Qiang and started talking about it in private.

"It turned out to be Hao Qiang. I didn't expect him to come too."

"I heard he has over 20 billion in cash alone. Who can compete with him?"

"That's not the way to say it. We're all smart people and will only take action if it's worth it. Besides, there are quite a few big guys here."

When bidder No. 15 saw that it was Hao Qiang and that the price had been raised too high, he decisively gave up.

The atmosphere on the scene remained harmonious, without any threats or unpleasant words.

Everyone understands that this is a contest of strength, and if you don't have the capital, you shouldn't get involved, so as not to bring shame upon yourself.

The auctioneer asked three times in a row, and after no one responded, he dropped the hammer and announced, "Congratulations to number 08, you have successfully won the first lot."

The second lot began immediately, and the auction was fast-paced, leaving almost no time for thought.

This is exactly the auctioneer's strategy, to create a tense and exciting atmosphere and stimulate the bidders' impulse.

Throughout the afternoon, Hao Qiang participated in the bidding of 15 lots.

He gave up on one of them because the competition was too fierce and beyond his expectations.

Although he has strong financial resources, he is not in a position to do anything without them.

In the end, Hao Qiang successfully won 14 lots with a total transaction volume of HK$1.2 million, including two pieces of jadeite.

After the auction ended, Hao Qiang immediately paid the balance.

Some of the portable items were taken away on the spot by bodyguards.

Porcelain pieces like those two are fragile and will be delivered to Hao Qiang's door by Christie's. Hao Qiang will need to pay additional shipping and insurance fees.

For Hao Qiang and Han Qingying, this auction is an opportunity to experience the life of the rich and feel the tense atmosphere on the scene.

I have to say, it feels pretty good to bid against others with money.

Of course, for an outsider like Hao Qiang, he must have wasted a lot of money. The prices of two items were too high, and Han Qingying pulled his clothes to tell him not to be too impulsive.

At that moment, Hao Qiang felt a little dizzy.

Han Qingying's reminder was unreasonable.

It's not a good thing for people to be too arrogant.

For the last few items he wanted, Hao Qiang simply asked Han Qingying to make the offer.

Han Qingying was relatively calm and actually saved Hao Qiang a lot of money.

After all, she knew that making money was not easy, and there was no need to spend money recklessly for meaningless face.
