The path to becoming a tycoon begins with binding to the Godly Rich System.

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen:

Hello everyone!

Welcome to this auction! I am your host, Li Bing. It is a great honor to be here with you all to participate in this exciting and opportune auction. Today, we gather here not only to bid on rare items, but also to share the joy of discovery and ownership. On this special occasion, each item carries a unique story and value, awaiting the appreciation and collection of its destined owner…”

Everyone took their seats, and the auctioneer went on stage.

The auction finally began, and Dong Senyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Mr. Yu, is there anything you've been eyeing at today's auction?" Li Dao was sitting next to Yu Heng. After all, Yu Heng was his guest, and even if others wanted to make their presence known, they wouldn't dare to steal his thunder.

“They’re all pretty good.” Yu Heng flipped through the list of auction items in his hand.

He didn't have any particular favorites, but most of these items were worth collecting.

“This sapphire is quite nice; I can give it to my future partner.” Dong Senyao said to Yu Heng without looking up from the list of items being auctioned.

Yu Heng also turned to the page about gemstones. He wasn't interested in that at first; he had been looking at porcelain and antiques.

But when Yu Heng heard Dong Senyao say it was a gift for his girlfriend, he immediately thought of Chu Anlan. It seemed like a pretty good idea.

Li Daozheng was also watching from the side, making it easier to explain to Yu Heng. Seeing Yu Heng seriously selecting the gemstones, he also guessed: "President Yu, do you have a girlfriend?"

Li Daozheng didn't ask if she was his girlfriend, since Yu Heng's friend had said she was his partner, so he figured he couldn't go wrong by repeating it.

"Not yet." Yu Heng thought of Chu Anlan, and his eyes softened for a moment.

Li Daozheng understood. He didn't have a girlfriend yet, but he had a target in mind.

I wonder which lucky person Mr. Yu has his eye on.

Rich old men like them are very popular, but young, handsome men without money are equally popular.

However, someone as young, handsome, rich, and powerful as Mr. Yu actually makes many people hesitate. Without a certain level of self-confidence, one wouldn't dare even dream of such a thing.

"Next, please welcome our next lot: a small Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period Jun-glazed censer with upturned handles. This censer is modeled after a Xuande bronze censer, featuring upturned handles, a slightly flared lip, a slightly tapering neck that bulges downwards into a flattened, round belly, and rounded handles. The overall shape is graceful and full. Except for the foot rim, which is brushed with a dark brown protective glaze, the entire body, inside and out, is covered with Jun-glazed glaze..."

"The starting price has been set at 1.8 million yuan. Is there any collector willing to make the first bid?" the auctioneer announced loudly.

"One million nine hundred thousand!"

"Two million!"

……

Soon someone raised their paddle, and the auctioneer announced the latest bids to all participants on stage.

Ultimately, this Qing Dynasty Yongzheng period Jun glaze small censer with upturned ears was auctioned off for three million yuan to a businessman.

Several more items were put up for auction, but Yu Heng did not compete for them.

"Now let's introduce our next major auction item!"

The auctioneer pointed to the item being auctioned, which was being held by the presenter.

"This sapphire weighs 20.5 carats and, after being examined by the Bersling Laboratory, has been confirmed as a royal sapphire from Myanmar, possessing extremely high collectible value and investment potential. In the past few years, top-quality sapphires have consistently performed exceptionally well in the auction market, with prices steadily rising..."

"The starting bid for this gem is ten million. Bidding begins now!"

Fifteen million

"Eighteen million"

"Twenty-two million"

……

People were bidding against each other, as if money wasn't money at all.

Yu Heng signaled Zhang An to raise his sign.

"Twenty-five million!"

After a moment of silence, someone else chimed in, "Twenty-six million!"

Zhang An raised his paddle and shouted, "Thirty million!"

The room fell silent for a moment.

"Thirty million yuan once, thirty million yuan twice, this is the last chance, is there any way to raise the price?"

The host scanned the room, hoping someone would bid again.

Most people gave up, since the price was already too high, but before the auctioneer's gavel fell, another person raised their paddle.

"Thirty-one million! Thirty-one million, is anyone else bidding?" the auctioneer exclaimed excitedly.

Yu Heng nodded, and Zhang An raised his paddle again, "Thirty-five million, this boss has bid thirty-five million, is anyone else going to bid?"

After waiting for a long time, no one else placed a bid.

"35 million yuan once, 35 million yuan twice, 35 million yuan three times, sold! Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully acquiring this treasure."

The auctioneer brought down the hammer.

Ultimately, Yu Heng acquired the sapphire for 35 million.

Dong Senyao clicked his tongue in surprise: "Are you saving this for a marriage proposal?"

Yu Heng glared at him and said irritably, "Take a look and see what you want, and I'll take a picture for you."

Dong Senyao shook his head. He would just take a look; if he bought these things and put them at home, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

Later, Yu Heng bid 56 million for a Ming Dynasty Jun ware celadon vase and a Song Dynasty Jun ware celadon plate with purple spots and a folded rim, for 32 million.

"Those who missed out on the Royal Sapphire are in luck! Our next item," the host gestured, and the presenter stepped forward. "This is a gold brooch set with a 16.98-carat oval sapphire, complemented by old European-cut diamonds totaling approximately 8.00 carats. The brooch measures 2.8 x 2.2 cm..."

Listening to the host's introduction, Yu Heng was somewhat tempted.

"Starting price: 8.5 million. Bidding begins now!"

"Eight.6 million!"

"Eight million eight hundred thousand!"

……

"Thirteen million! This boss has offered thirteen million!"

Yu Heng raised a sign

"Fifteen million!"

When Yu Heng raised his sign, a buzzing sound arose in the room, and most people gave up. After all, once Yu Heng made a move, he wouldn't stop until he got the prize, and arguing with him would only offend people.

"Sixteen million!"

After a long silence, someone raised their sign again.

Just as Yu Heng was about to ask again, Zhang An handed him a business card: "Mr. Yu, that gentleman handed it to me, saying he wants to use this gemstone to propose marriage. He hopes you will be lenient."

Zhang An pointed to his left behind him. Seeing Yu Heng turn around, an elite man in his thirties stood up and bowed slightly to Yu Heng.

"That's Zheng's third son. I heard he and Sun's only daughter were childhood sweethearts. I didn't expect they'd be getting married soon," Li Daozheng remarked from the side.

Yu Heng glanced at the business card; it belonged to the vice president of Lingxun Technology. He nodded to this Vice President Zheng and withdrew from the bidding.

"That's doing a good deed," Yu Heng said, handing his business card to Zhang An.

"Mr. Yu, you have a special fondness for sapphires?" Li Daozheng asked Yu Heng with a smile.

"I just saw something suitable and wanted to give it to the younger generation in my family," Yu Heng said.

"Is this junior of President Yu a girl?" Li Daozheng asked, thinking that if a junior is given a gemstone, then the junior must be a girl.

"Yes, the two sisters." Yu Heng thought about buying some collectible gems for Qingying and Qingyan.

“Then Mr. Yu, why don’t you take a look at this?” Li Daozheng turned the page of the auction list and showed it to Yu Heng: “This is a pair of earrings with 11.17 and 10.85 carat fancy pink diamonds. If there are two girls, you can ask a designer to redesign them and make them into brooches or necklaces.”

Yu Heng took a look and saw that it was indeed very suitable: "President Li is so thoughtful!"

"Haha, these siblings, they're not worried about scarcity but about inequality. My cousin has twins, and they have to cut a sausage in half to share!" Li Daozheng said casually, subtly building rapport.

Yu Heng was well aware of the situation and approved of Duozheng Group taking over their project. After all, it was a large company, and its construction quality, safety assurance, and after-sales service were unmatched by ordinary companies.

After a few casual words, the pair of pink diamond earrings were finally brought out and bought by Yu Heng for over 40 million yuan.

After the auction ended, Yu Heng didn't stay to talk; he left directly with Zhang An and the others.

Those who had hoped to build a relationship with him were disappointed, as this was a big shot who had bid nearly 200 million in one go!
