Kicked out of a wealthy family? I became a rich and beautiful woman thanks to the system.
Chapter 187 Extravagant Spending
Then, Wen Yao took 0001 and 0002 to the Sotheby's auction.
Wen Yao walked into the hotel wearing a white coat, a brown beret, a striking Miu Miu pearl necklace, and carrying a Hermes bag.
Sotheby's auctions are renowned worldwide, and many dignitaries attend each auction.
Wen Yao's seat was in the very center of the first row, which was the best seat in the entire venue.
Not long after, Wen Yao saw that Old Kevin had also come to the auction and was sitting right next to her.
Old Kevin was also taken aback when he saw Wen Yao.
"Hello, Mr. Kevin."
Old Kevin smiled, and then the two exchanged pleasantries.
"I never expected to meet Miss Wen here."
Wen Yao nodded.
"Yes, what a coincidence."
"Is there anything that Miss Wen has taken a fancy to?"
Wen Yao didn't think about it too much.
"I want to buy the Vanig aircraft carrier."
She openly stated her goal: no matter who competes with her today, she is determined to win the bid for the aircraft carrier.
Fortunately, old Kevin doesn't seem to care much about the aircraft carrier.
"Aircraft carrier? We often have people from China buying a lot of weapons from us, but aircraft carriers are very expensive. I wish Miss Wen good luck."
After the two chatted for a few more minutes, the auction began.
The first item to be displayed was a handbag once used by Princess Diana, which was eventually sold for 75 Chinese yuan.
Wen Yao wasn't interested in any of these. She glanced at the catalog and saw that the aircraft carrier was the last item up for auction.
So I simply took out my phone and started playing.
After a few rounds, a Chinese artifact was displayed on the large screen on stage.
Lotus-shaped glass saucer.
This thing looks like it's from China.
"This is a lotus-shaped glass saucer from the distant Dragon Kingdom, with a history of two thousand years..."
The host began introducing the auction item, which indeed came from China.
How could something from two thousand years ago appear in this place? It must have been brought to Country L by the invaders back then.
This light red saucer attracted the attention of many foreigners.
It looks like quite a few people will be vying for this artifact.
Wen Yao put away the phone and sat up straight.
The starting bid is 10!
The exchange rate between Huaxia Coin and L Coin is 10:1.
That's equivalent to 100 million Chinese yuan.
"50."
Wen Yao directly raised the price five times.
In an instant, a cacophony of voices erupted behind them, with many complaining that Wen Yao was maliciously inflating prices.
"60."
A man's voice rang out in the room.
"65."
"67."
……
"80 million!"
Many people are participating in the auction.
"Miss Wen, it seems the competition is fierce."
Old Kevin started teasing her.
"But didn't you say you were only going to film aircraft carriers? Now you seem quite interested in this saucer?"
“These are things from our Dragon Kingdom, so of course they should come to our Dragon Kingdom.”
Wen Yao spoke with righteous indignation.
Then he raised the sign in his hand.
"150 million!"
Wen Yao once again raised the price by hundreds of thousands.
By this time, very few people were participating in the competition.
But this is a 2000-year-old artifact, and many foreign collectors are still eyeing it covetously.
"160."
"177."
"..."
The situation reached a stalemate when the price reached 2,200,000 L coins, with the collector about to receive the lotus-shaped glass saucer.
At that moment, Wen Yao raised the sign in her hand.
"250 million!"
Wen Yao's firm and resolute response dashed his hopes.
In the end, Wen Yao acquired the lotus-shaped glass saucer for 250 L coins.
"Congratulations, Miss Wen."
Old Kevin clapped softly from the side.
Wen Yao responded with a polite smile.
"Thank you."
After several more rounds, the last item was finally up for auction: the Vanig aircraft carrier!
Besides Wen Yao, many other people came to see the aircraft carrier.
The starting price for this aircraft carrier isn't very high, starting at 2000 million L coins.
Many people made thorough preparations from the very beginning.
Wen Yao looked back and saw that everyone was rubbing their hands together, eager to try their luck.
"2100."
"2200."
.......
The price was quickly driven up to 1 million!
Wen Yao still did not choose to bid directly, but waited until the price was getting higher and higher before raising her paddle.
About half an hour later, the price was finally driven up to 5 million L coins.
This price is already at the normal level for the Vanigma aircraft carrier; any further increase would result in losses, so many people have given up on it.
"6 million!"
When Wen Yao raised the sign, it was to become the focus of everyone's attention.
Everyone started paying attention to her.
How could such a rich person suddenly appear out of nowhere?
"My God, I only just noticed that she was sitting next to Mr. Kevin."
“I saw her yesterday. It seems she moved into Kevin Building.”
“You see, her seat is even better than Mr. Kevin’s.”
"I think this is definitely a modern-day rich man."
Everyone was talking about it and remembered the name Wen Yao.
In the end, Wen Yao successfully acquired the Vanig aircraft carrier with 6 million L coins.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully completed the mission. Mission reward: One aircraft carrier captain: Chen Fei.]
"captain?"
[That's right, it's the highest-ranking officer on the aircraft carrier, responsible for its operation and combat command. Host, you will now be someone who owns an aircraft carrier.]
As soon as Wen Yao turned on her phone, someone requested to add her on WeChat. Looking at the applicant's name, she recognized him as Chen Fei.
After completing all the formalities, Wen Yao returned to the Kevin Building with her bag.
When she returned, Mai Jia had already woken up.
"Wen Yao, did you go to the Sotheby's auction?"
Mai Jiazhuang remained silent, waiting for Wen Yao in the living room.
Wen Yao nodded.
"How did you know? Did the bodyguards tell you?"
Mai Jia covered her mouth in surprise, then handed the phone screen to Wen Yao.
"Wen Yao, you didn't actually buy an aircraft carrier, did you?"
Wen Yao glanced at her phone screen.
Who are the residents of Kevin Building who spent a whopping 600 million to buy the Vanig aircraft carrier?
"Wow, it's already been reported by the media so quickly?"
The news report also included two photos: one taken secretly when she moved into the Kevin Building, and the other taken at a Sotheby's auction today.
"Wen Yao, you're really rich. But why did you buy an aircraft carrier?"
Surprised as I was, this was precisely what Mai Jia was most curious about.
Wen Yao stammered.
"Well... the main reason is that I feel there's too much gold on Sunshine Island, and it needs to be protected."
Mai Jia bit her lip, her feelings a mix of emotions.
"No, you don't need 60 billion Chinese yuan to buy Sunshine Island, do you? Hopefully, the price of that gold and the price of Sunshine Island will exceed your expenses today."
