The golden light faded, and a card was floating in the tool bar.
[ Auction card ]
[ One-time special card ]
[ You can use this card for any auction item. ]
[ After use, the system will pay a deposit for you, and pay nine-tenths of the final auction price for you. ]
[ You only need to pay 1/10 of the final price to get the auction item. ]
[ Note 1: If your cash is less than 1/10 of the total price, the card will be invalid. ]
[ Note 2: The specified auction item can not be canceled or replaced. ]
[ Note 3: This card can only be kept for 7 days, please use it within 7 days. ]
[ Note 4: You can only get the experience points equivalent to the actual amount of the money paid. ]
What a powerful card!
It was equivalent to a 10 times shopping card with no restrictions!
If the final price of an antique was 100 million, and the system provided the deposit, Wang Yan would only need to pay 10 million in cash to get it.
He earned 90 million!
Such a powerful card should not appear in the beginner level Lucky Roulette at all, so it had many restrictions.
The worst was the time limit, seven days!
Wang Yan immediately lowered his head to check his assets.
Today was October 12th, and breathing wages had increased by another one million compared to the last time he checked.
He spent a little over 100,000 on shopping today, and he spent less than 10,000 on treating everyone to a meal and a massage in the last few days, totaling 110,000.
He spent one million on winning Lucky Roulette.
Currently, he was left with 2.36 million in cash, and his experience points were 3,577/12,500.
Within seven days, it could only rise to 3.36 million at most. Therefore, the value of the item could not exceed 33 million, or the card would be invalid.
However, it was still a profit.
It only cost one million to buy the Lucky Roulette. The card was sold for five million in theory. In reality, it could earn nearly 30 million!
Hey, as long as it was well operated, the next 30 roulettes would all be a f*cking net profit…
Young Master Wang was so happy that he brushed his little teeth until they were white and shiny. He bared his teeth in front of the mirror and started singing.
Good little rabbit, open the door. Old wolf, I, want to eat chicken today…
Bah Bah!
I sang it wrong. Let’s start again.
I have a little donkey. I have never ridden it. If I want to ride it, I will ride a kitten…
The more he sang, the more he got it wrong.
…
The unexpected surprise did not disrupt Wang Yan’s rhythm of life.
There was still a group exercise in the morning, and Gong Feiyu again volunteered to help.
After two sprints, the time was basically stabilized at around 10.6 seconds.
The young master was not very satisfied, but Gong Feiyu was extremely envious.
“You are really talented, you are able to achieve your current results in just a few days. Train well for a year, and let the technical essentials form muscle memory. It’s really not difficult to achieve a little over 10 seconds.”
Wang Yan knew well about his ability. He could already feel that his current speed was the limit of his current physique.
His 79 points in attributes were really not outstanding. He had to combine them to stabilize his level. If he wanted to improve further, his skills could only be used for 0.3 seconds at most.
“Thank you for your help. Shall we continue?”
Wang Yan smiled and did not continue the topic with Gong Feiyu.
Miss. Cheetah’s eyes flashed, and resumed her indifference.
“Okay.”
Gong Feiyu didn’t speak again until the training ended at 7:30 am.
“Hurry up and buy a pair of long spike shoes for sprinting. Get used to sprinting with spike shoes as soon as possible. It will be very helpful to your results.”
“No money!”
Young Master Wang was especially sensitive to money right now. He blurted out two words, “Speaking with Discretion” didn’t stop him.
Of course, it was actually a bit of a joke, so there was no need to stop him.
Gong Feiyu then misunderstood. She frowned, turned around, and left.
“Why are you crying about being poor with me?!”
“Eh…”
Wang Yan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he immediately stopped. He was stunned for a while and then smiled playfully.
Miss. Cheetah’s personality was quite interesting, wasn’t it?
She clearly had the body of a female tyrannosaurus, but she was unexpectedly simple…
A straight woman of steel?!
Haha!
…
After laughing for a while, Young Master Wang called Lou Lou over. “Tally up the shoe sizes of the boys and use the class fee to buy all the spiked shoes.”
“I’m your secretary?!”
Lou Lou was extremely angry. The key was that he acted as if it was a matter of course and ordered the maids around.
Wang Yan then lazily glanced over and smiled evilly. “Be a secretary? Are you good looking enough? At most, you’re just a maid!”
He decided to retreat before he was beaten up.
In any case, the vice squad leader would definitely do something. Who else would care about a group activity?
After returning to his dorm and taking a shower, Wang Yan officially began to contact his friends.
Lin Baizhou, Huang Xu, Lv Yichen, and President Al. Overall he could use just these four people.
Capital and Shanghai were the places with the most high-end auctions. They had wide connections so it was not a problem for them to get some information.
Wang Yan did not stand on ceremony and asked directly, “Have there been any high-end auctions in the past few days?”
Lin Baizhou confirmed and was the first to reply, “Jiade, Hanhai, Paulie, Kuang Shi, Chuan Shi, and Dongzheng have an autumn auction to be held in Capital. starting from the beginning of November. There are a lot of items to be auctioned.”
D*mn, so late?!
“Is there any time sooner?”
“Then we’ll have to find an underground auction. I can help you ask, but it’s a mess and I personally don’t recommend you to get involved.”
Lin Baizhou’s words were very reasonable, and Wang Yan himself did not want to get involved in the mess of the private auction.
“Okay, I’ll ask again.”
Right after, President Al replied.
“Sotheby’s Xiangjiang autumn auction ends on the 7th. There’s a Christie’s autumn auction in Shanghai on October 24th. I have a lot of friends who are interested. Why, does Young Master Wang want to join in the fun?”
Today was the 12th. He would need to use his auction card by the 19th at the latest. It was too late.
Wang Yan frowned. “Are there any earlier mainland autumn auctions? Before the 19th.”
“There aren’t any well-known autumn auctions in the mainland, but there’s an autumn auction in Macao by Zhenguan International. Let me see… it happens to open on the 19th.”
Young Master Wang perked up. “Do you have an album?”
“I don’t have it on hand. Give me two hours. I’ll get you a copy and send it to your email, okay?”
President AI was very straightforward and did not mention any difficulties.
He was very determined to befriend Wang Yan.
“Thank you very much. I won’t say much. Next time when I return to Shanghai, let’s have a good drink!”
Wang Yan was very happy. He felt like he had finally seen the light of day and saw a glimmer of hope.
The morning had passed while he was waiting and studying. In the afternoon, he received a PDF file from President Al. When he opened it, Wang Yan felt a chill in his heart.
A total of 124 items were auctioned. The estimated price was 38 million Australian dollars.
More than 33 million RMB. 124 items were divided equally. Each item was worth less than 300,000.
F*ck, are you kidding me?!
Looking at Zhenguan International’s introduction, it was 14 year old new auction company established in Singapore.
Sigh…
How did you become landlord?
Couldn’t you save some food?!
However, the poor landlord was the only company that had an auction before the 19th. It was very miserable.
Young Master Wang sighed and contacted Lin Baizhou and President AI for the second time.
“Expand the scope to the whole world. Are there any large-scale auctions before the 19th?”
Lin Baizhou and president AI were both puzzled. Why did he restrict the time so tightly?
They were all smart people. They did not ask anyone and only promised to ask around immediately.
Wang Yan could not collect information on his own. He had no connections, did not know any foreign languages, and even when he searched on the internet, he was completely clueless.
Fortunately, Lin Baizhou and President AI were very good. In less than half a day, they had gathered all the information.
In the whole world, there were more than a dozen auctions of all sizes this week. Actually, there should be more than that, but those kinds of private auctions were very difficult for outsiders to know.
The variety of auctions opened Wang Yan’s eyes.
There was a special auction for the wine from the workhouse in England. There were treasures from Romani Conti and diggin winery. Unfortunately, the most expensive bottle of wine was only a few hundred thousand.
It didn’t quench my thirst at all, so I had to give this a pass.
Neon had a second-hand luxury auction. The main item was bags. It was amazing.
There was a charity auction in the country. Using money to buy reputation, the value of the items wouldn’t be much.
There was a judicial auction in Rice. It was for a few luxury houses in Los Angeles.
New York’s Gagosian Gallery had an auction that wasn’t really an auction. It was an art exhibition.
New Zealand was selling island, but the model was not an auction. It was a kind of matchmaking transaction…
The Myanmar Jade auction had ended. Tengchong’s auction was open, but how could Wang Yan know anything about stone gambling? !
He could go and broaden his horizons in his spare time.
After much consideration, there wasn’t even one auction that was suitable.
By the 14th, the young master was almost in despair.
Could it be that he could only go to Zhen Guan International’s auction to earn some money?
Let’s wait and see. If it didn’t work, then forget it.
Wang Yan calmed himself down and waited for a turnaround.
The 14th and 15th passed uneventfully. On the 16th, Lv Yichen called.
“Young Master Wang, Young Master Wang, go online now and search for Ali’s judicial auction!”
“What’s that?”
Wang Yan was a little confused.
Wang Yan understood what a judicial auction was. The previous judicial auction of Rice had information attached to it.
The simple explanation was that the court seized the assets of the debtor and then auctioned them off to the outside world. The money obtained would be used to pay off the creditor’s rights of the applicant.
Because the seller of the auction was the court, the authenticity of the items could be completely guaranteed.
The price was low, the handling fee was low, and there were fewer competitors. It was a good way to get a bargain.
However, how did Ali have a relationship with the judicial auction?!
Wang Yan opened the web page in puzzlement and searched. Suddenly, an online judicial auction website popped up.
It was under the banner of Jack Ma.
After a quick glance, Young Master Wang had a plan in mind.
Courts of all levels were stationed throughout the country. The auction items were authentic and the price was fair. The platform even provided appraisal, evaluation, and legal support.
It was very convenient.
“Young Master Wang, you’re thinking of buying something as a gift, right? There’s a large primary blue and white vase in the calligraphy and painting antique section, and there’s a glass type emperor green bracelet in the jewelry section. Both are of high quality!”
Wang Yan immediately found the large primary blue and white vase. The starting price was 14 million, and the estimated price was 28.8 million. If there were many competitors, he might need to spend 25 million to get it.
It was just right to be more expensive!
Wang Yan was instantly happy.
“Yichen, thank you for your kindness. Thank you very much!”
Lv Yichen’s fawning voice was stuck to his teeth through the phone. “Look at what you’re saying! It’s a small matter. As long as I can help, I’ll definitely do my best!”
“Okay, let’s have a gathering when we have time. I’ll go pick something up first. Talk to you later.”
After Wang Yan gave a perfunctory reply, Lv Yichen immediately took the initiative to leave.
Sigh, no wonder some people like to keep a spare tire. It’s so convenient and comfortable!
Happily browsing the website, Young Master Wang started picking the auction items.
He opened the page of the blue and white jar and looked at it carefully. Wang Yan suddenly felt a little confused.
Eh?
Why did the auction take so long?!
There was a countdown on the page. It was very eye-catching. It showed that the auction would end in 51 days.
F*ck!
What was the meaning of this?!
Wang Yan’s heart was beating rapidly. He immediately confirmed with the system.
“Can I use the card for auction item which exceeds the range of seven days?”
The System Daddy was very reasonable. He would answer all questions related to the use of props.
[ Yes, you can use the card within the time limit. The auction cycle will not affect the final result. ]
F*ck!
Wang Young Master was instantly so excited that he wanted to lift a person high up. However, when he looked back, only the sand sculpture Like Jade was in the bedroom. He thus gave up.
Auctions would take a long time. Under normal circumstances, that’s not a good thing.
It was because the longer it took to bid, the more competitors it would be, and the closer the item would come to its actual value.
If you only had one day to bid, it’s easy to pick up the slack.
Some potential buyers might not even know the news and the auction would had been over.
However, the long auction period was a great thing for Wang Yan.
If it was at an auction, he would have to take the item and pay on the spot. Wang Yan could only bid based on the three million he had on him.
With ten times the leverage, he could at most pry open 30 million items. He would have no money for anything more.
After 50 days, Young Master Wang would be able to save at least 20 million worth of money. He could directly use ten times the leverage to take down an item that was worth 200 million!
Did he make a lot of money?!
Young Master Wang immediately opened all sorts of interfaces and frantically searched for the item with the highest valuation.
Money was a b*stard. If I spent it all, I would make more!
Just buy!
Opening the interface and ranking the items according to the price from high to low, Young Master Wang suddenly had an eye-opener.
Capital Chaoyang District, a commercial building with four upper floors and three lower floors, with a total floor area of more than 60,000 square meters, the starting price was 2.1 billion.
It started in July and ended in December. So far, no one had bid for it.
It made Wang Yan envious…
You couldn’t bear to part with it, I could!
You’re afraid that it wouldn’t be easy to make a move, I was not.
210 million would be in your hands, and you could hand it over to the bank. The loan would be at least 1 billion, and the system would be upgraded two levels in a row. How comfortable would that be?!
Unfortunately, money came from nothing.
Next, commercial land, equity, debt, forest rights, mining rights, equipment, ships and airplanes…
It was an eye-opener for Wang Yan.
Especially the mining rights. There was a “mining rights, construction (structural) buildings, machinery and equipment, and vehicles” from Delong coal industry in Gujiao City of the mining province. It was estimated to be worth 1.5 billion, with a deposit of 1 billion. The starting bid was 950 million.
Looking at the details, the construction and vehicles were simply given away for free. Just the mining rights alone were more than 1.3 billion!
Aiyo, if I really won, would I be a genuine second mining generation?!
Young Master Wang thought about it for five seconds, and with a straight face, he closed the page.
Forget about whether the money was enough, even if he could get it…
It was most likely a loss.
The mining industry was really not something that ordinary people could handle. Nowadays, there were pits everywhere in the coal industry. Environmental protection and the coal price were two huge mountains that could crush Young Master Wang’s small shoulders.
I’d better go home and play with earthworms…
Thus, Young Master Wang checked all the way and finally picked out three items.
Shanghai Thomson First Class Block A 43rd floor duplex house, 876 square meters, three stairs for one house, two underground parking spaces, 270 degrees River view, only 50 meters from the river.
The house was good, and the valuation was even better.
208 million!
The starting price was 185 million, not very much cheaper.
It was less than 15 days until the end of the auction, at this time, no one had yet bid for it.
Hehe, if it didn’t fail two or three times, no one would take it.
After he listed it down, Wang Yan continued to look at the following item.
Golden Bridge building in Gujiao City, a total of 68 floors, construction area of 60,000 square meters, land area of 6,000 square meters.
The total price was 308.8 million. The auction had failed twice, and the current starting price was 173 million.
There were 43 days left.
If nothing unexpected happened, the auction would continue.
Wang Yan was very familiar with the location. It was not in the center of the business circle but not far from Xiawa.
What to do with such property after it was taken over was a problem for most buyers.
Although Wang Yan did not have to fork out much money, he still had to consider its use.
Although it seemed to be a lot of money, it didn’t have much meaning in reality…
The third option was finally interesting.
Shanghai Pudong New Area, Pudong south road, 18th and 19th floors, Haiguang building.
The area was 7,400 square meters, estimated at 480 million, and the auction failed twice. Currently, the starting price was 320 million, and the remaining auction time was 29 days.
The location wasn’t included in the core circle of Lujiazui, but it was very close to everywhere, and the transportation was especially convenient. Behind it was a residential area, and the employees didn’t even need to walk five minutes to rent or go to work.
The original price was 65,000 yuan per square meter, and the current price was about 43,000 yuan. It was considered very cheap.
So the key question was… did Wangting Yule need such a high-end office space?
It was not necessary for the time being, but if they wanted to make it big, they needed it sooner or later.
If they really did a good job with the concept of being an internet celebrity, it was not impossible for them to go public in the future. With their own office space, they could save costs and show their strength.
It just so happened that they were about to expand their army, so they had to find a place to accommodate them.
The 19th floor would be used as a live broadcast room, a dressing room, and a studio. The 18th floor would be used as an office, which was just right.
Coincidentally, Wangting Yule wanted to evaluate the value of their shares and redistribute them. By injecting two floors of office assets into them, they would be able to take back some of the shares that Ling Ya and the other two had.
Wang Yan didn’t plan to scheme against them.
Originally, it was just a small matter and nothing mattered.
Now, they might have to make a big deal out of it. It was very necessary to centralize power appropriately.
They had to reserve some room for financing. Otherwise, after two or three rounds of financing, the shares would be diluted to only ten or twenty points, which would affect their right too much.
Wang Yan considered all aspects clearly and quickly determined that the two floors of office buildings would be the most cost-effective auction item.
The only question now was…
Could he get it in 29 days?
Or to put it another way: Could he save up 33 million in cash in 29 days?!
Breathing wages was almost 6 million. He currently had 3 million in cash and was short of 24 million.
There was no place to earn money. It was all depending on that [ cold, slightly spicy, and very sweet ] card…
Wang Yan reviewed the contents of the card again and fell into deep thought.
The crux of the problem lay in He Miaomiao’s emotions and the value of the ingredients.
He could only coax her emotions at the last minute. The value of the ingredients could be controlled.
Wang Yan immediately called Wang Yunxi.
“Brother Xi Zige, how’s the negotiation with Haidilao and Haagen-Dazs going?”
Wang Yunxi was very excited. “I was just about to report to you. It’s basically a success!”
Wang Yan was excited. “Oh? What’s the price?”
“According to your request, we will use the best of everything!”
Haagen-Dazs would specially make an ice cream for us. The price will be 600 yuan per 100ml, and it will be announced to the public that it will be 1,888 yuan!
A total of 50,000 ml will be ordered, which is about 40 kilograms. The participants will each have an average of 4 kilograms, and the rest will be supplied to the fans and models present.
Just the actual cost of the ice cream alone was 300,000!
In addition, Haidilao was already actively buying Azure Dragon. The exact price was not available for the time being, but it was guaranteed to be the best quality!
In terms of advertising, Haagen-Dazs and Haidilao agreed to pay according to the popularity of the event.
But I still don’t understand. Why do we have to split it up? How good would it be if we just let them sponsor the ice cream directly…”
Of course, they couldn’t sponsor it directly. If they didn’t count the money, where would the critical hit come from?
But the truth couldn’t be told. Wang Yan could only give Xi Zige a shot of adrenaline.
“Only by paying by tier can we earn a sum of money from the other party. What’s 300,000 yuan worth of ice cream? You have to believe that our event can make the headlines!”
“Alright…”
Wang Yunxi foolishly believed it, because it seemed like there was indeed something to earn.
“It’s just that Mudniu isn’t too satisfied with the event. We didn’t choose their ice cream, so CEO Zhang has been pestering me about it.”
Wang Yan laughed out loud. “Why is UEC getting involved in this! Tell CEO Zhang that if he pays the full advertising fee, I guarantee that I won’t see any other drinks throughout the venue!”
“Alright, then do you have anything else? Right now, there are napkins, mobile phones, apps, models, clothing, and a bunch of other sponsors waiting for me to talk to them.”
Wang Yunxi was so very busy. This was the first time he proactively wanted to end the call with Wang Yan.
“Okay, go do your work. Keep in touch.”
Putting down the phone, Wang Yan waved his fist.
The price of the ingredients seemed to be stable. As long as He Miaomiao didn’t poop, he would definitely be able to get more than 20 million!
Even if it was just a little bit, it didn’t matter. Let Wangting Yule settle their dividends and cash flow in advance. 10 million should be enough.
So… Take It!
Wang Yan immediately registered an account, paid the deposit, and used the [ Auction card ] . His target was the two-story office building in Shanghai.
When he confirmed it, Young Master Wang’s hands trembled a little.
He was so excited!
A month later, his net would be over 500 million!
With the office building in hand, his experience soared to around 70 million, and he had a direct mortgage of 60 million. If he used it to invest in Wangting Yule, he could upgrade the system!
Then, inject the office building into Wangting Yule according to the market value, and the reverse would be another 400 million experience points!
Wahaha, the next level would have a maximum of 750 million experience points, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of it would be filled up.
If they could grasp some other rhythm, they might be able to upgrade the system to level 10 before the end of the Lunar New Year!
By then, the breathing wages of 1.8 million per day would be 30 million per month. If they did not talk about business and only consumption, they would be able to do whatever they wanted.
Buying clothes to try on one by one?
Why was my time so worthless?!
I would directly hire Lin Weiwei as an image consultant, throw the card to her, and go shopping!
If it did not look good or uncomfortable, I would just beat her up!
Feeling bloated?
That’s right!
Who wouldn’t if one had 30 million yuan of pocket money in a month?
After being beaten up by Liu Li’s socialist iron fist twice, it would naturally stop.
After spring, they would start to build the villa.
Then, they would study hard and accumulate connections. In another year or two, they would go and wrestle with the real big shots in the business world!
After planning for the future clearly, Young Master Wang smiled like full of peach blossoms.
It was not that I was not calm, no one could be calm!
When the sand sculpture Like Jade turned his head, he saw that Wang Yan’s shoulder was shaking.
They shook and shook again and again, and the frequency was fixed. It was very mysterious.
“F*ck!”
Like Jade cried out in a fuss and poked his head out to take a look.
“Boss, are you serious?!”
Wang Yan abruptly stopped smiling and turned his head back, clenching his fists as he stood up.
You asked for it, I was not to be blamed me for being too vicious!
The golden light faded, and a card was floating in the tool bar.
[ Auction card ]
[ One-time special card ]
[ You can use this card for any auction item. ]
[ After use, the system will pay a deposit for you, and pay nine-tenths of the final auction price for you. ]
[ You only need to pay 1/10 of the final price to get the auction item. ]

[ Note 2: The specified auction item can not be canceled or replaced. ]
[ Note 3: This card can only be kept for 7 days, please use it within 7 days. ]
[ Note 4: You can only get the experience points equivalent to the actual amount of the money paid. ]
What a powerful card!
It was equivalent to a 10 times shopping card with no restrictions!
If the final price of an antique was 100 million, and the system provided the deposit, Wang Yan would only need to pay 10 million in cash to get it.
He earned 90 million!
Such a powerful card should not appear in the beginner level Lucky Roulette at all, so it had many restrictions.
The worst was the time limit, seven days!
Wang Yan immediately lowered his head to check his assets.
Today was October 12th, and breathing wages had increased by another one million compared to the last time he checked.
He spent a little over 100,000 on shopping today, and he spent less than 10,000 on treating everyone to a meal and a massage in the last few days, totaling 110,000.
He spent one million on winning Lucky Roulette.
Currently, he was left with 2.36 million in cash, and his experience points were 3,577/12,500.
Within seven days, it could only rise to 3.36 million at most. Therefore, the value of the item could not exceed 33 million, or the card would be invalid.
However, it was still a profit.
It only cost one million to buy the Lucky Roulette. The card was sold for five million in theory. In reality, it could earn nearly 30 million!
Hey, as long as it was well operated, the next 30 roulettes would all be a f*cking net profit…
Young Master Wang was so happy that he brushed his little teeth until they were white and shiny. He bared his teeth in front of the mirror and started singing.
Good little rabbit, open the door. Old wolf, I, want to eat chicken today…
Bah Bah!
I sang it wrong. Let’s start again.
I have a little donkey. I have never ridden it. If I want to ride it, I will ride a kitten…
The more he sang, the more he got it wrong.
…
The unexpected surprise did not disrupt Wang Yan’s rhythm of life.
There was still a group exercise in the morning, and Gong Feiyu again volunteered to help.
After two sprints, the time was basically stabilized at around 10.6 seconds.
The young master was not very satisfied, but Gong Feiyu was extremely envious.
“You are really talented, you are able to achieve your current results in just a few days. Train well for a year, and let the technical essentials form muscle memory. It’s really not difficult to achieve a little over 10 seconds.”
Wang Yan knew well about his ability. He could already feel that his current speed was the limit of his current physique.
His 79 points in attributes were really not outstanding. He had to combine them to stabilize his level. If he wanted to improve further, his skills could only be used for 0.3 seconds at most.
“Thank you for your help. Shall we continue?”
Wang Yan smiled and did not continue the topic with Gong Feiyu.
Miss. Cheetah’s eyes flashed, and resumed her indifference.
“Okay.”
Gong Feiyu didn’t speak again until the training ended at 7:30 am.
“Hurry up and buy a pair of long spike shoes for sprinting. Get used to sprinting with spike shoes as soon as possible. It will be very helpful to your results.”
“No money!”
Young Master Wang was especially sensitive to money right now. He blurted out two words, “Speaking with Discretion” didn’t stop him.
Of course, it was actually a bit of a joke, so there was no need to stop him.
Gong Feiyu then misunderstood. She frowned, turned around, and left.
“Why are you crying about being poor with me?!”
“Eh…”
Wang Yan subconsciously wanted to stop her, but he immediately stopped. He was stunned for a while and then smiled playfully.
Miss. Cheetah’s personality was quite interesting, wasn’t it?
She clearly had the body of a female tyrannosaurus, but she was unexpectedly simple…
A straight woman of steel?!
Haha!
…
After laughing for a while, Young Master Wang called Lou Lou over. “Tally up the shoe sizes of the boys and use the class fee to buy all the spiked shoes.”
“I’m your secretary?!”
Lou Lou was extremely angry. The key was that he acted as if it was a matter of course and ordered the maids around.
Wang Yan then lazily glanced over and smiled evilly. “Be a secretary? Are you good looking enough? At most, you’re just a maid!”
He decided to retreat before he was beaten up.
In any case, the vice squad leader would definitely do something. Who else would care about a group activity?
After returning to his dorm and taking a shower, Wang Yan officially began to contact his friends.

Wang Yan frowned. “Are there any earlier mainland autumn auctions? Before the 19th.”
“There aren’t any well-known autumn auctions in the mainland, but there’s an autumn auction in Macao by Zhenguan International. Let me see… it happens to open on the 19th.”
Young Master Wang perked up. “Do you have an album?”
“I don’t have it on hand. Give me two hours. I’ll get you a copy and send it to your email, okay?”
President AI was very straightforward and did not mention any difficulties.
He was very determined to befriend Wang Yan.
“Thank you very much. I won’t say much. Next time when I return to Shanghai, let’s have a good drink!”
Wang Yan was very happy. He felt like he had finally seen the light of day and saw a glimmer of hope.
The morning had passed while he was waiting and studying. In the afternoon, he received a PDF file from President Al. When he opened it, Wang Yan felt a chill in his heart.
A total of 124 items were auctioned. The estimated price was 38 million Australian dollars.
More than 33 million RMB. 124 items were divided equally. Each item was worth less than 300,000.
F*ck, are you kidding me?!
Looking at Zhenguan International’s introduction, it was 14 year old new auction company established in Singapore.
Sigh…
How did you become landlord?
Couldn’t you save some food?!
However, the poor landlord was the only company that had an auction before the 19th. It was very miserable.
Young Master Wang sighed and contacted Lin Baizhou and President AI for the second time.
“Expand the scope to the whole world. Are there any large-scale auctions before the 19th?”
Lin Baizhou and president AI were both puzzled. Why did he restrict the time so tightly?
They were all smart people. They did not ask anyone and only promised to ask around immediately.
Wang Yan could not collect information on his own. He had no connections, did not know any foreign languages, and even when he searched on the internet, he was completely clueless.
Fortunately, Lin Baizhou and President AI were very good. In less than half a day, they had gathered all the information.
In the whole world, there were more than a dozen auctions of all sizes this week. Actually, there should be more than that, but those kinds of private auctions were very difficult for outsiders to know.
The variety of auctions opened Wang Yan’s eyes.
There was a special auction for the wine from the workhouse in England. There were treasures from Romani Conti and diggin winery. Unfortunately, the most expensive bottle of wine was only a few hundred thousand.
It didn’t quench my thirst at all, so I had to give this a pass.
Neon had a second-hand luxury auction. The main item was bags. It was amazing.
There was a charity auction in the country. Using money to buy reputation, the value of the items wouldn’t be much.
There was a judicial auction in Rice. It was for a few luxury houses in Los Angeles.
New York’s Gagosian Gallery had an auction that wasn’t really an auction. It was an art exhibition.
New Zealand was selling island, but the model was not an auction. It was a kind of matchmaking transaction…
The Myanmar Jade auction had ended. Tengchong’s auction was open, but how could Wang Yan know anything about stone gambling? !
He could go and broaden his horizons in his spare time.
After much consideration, there wasn’t even one auction that was suitable.
By the 14th, the young master was almost in despair.
Could it be that he could only go to Zhen Guan International’s auction to earn some money?
Let’s wait and see. If it didn’t work, then forget it.
Wang Yan calmed himself down and waited for a turnaround.
The 14th and 15th passed uneventfully. On the 16th, Lv Yichen called.
“Young Master Wang, Young Master Wang, go online now and search for Ali’s judicial auction!”
“What’s that?”
Wang Yan was a little confused.
Wang Yan understood what a judicial auction was. The previous judicial auction of Rice had information attached to it.
The simple explanation was that the court seized the assets of the debtor and then auctioned them off to the outside world. The money obtained would be used to pay off the creditor’s rights of the applicant.
Because the seller of the auction was the court, the authenticity of the items could be completely guaranteed.
The price was low, the handling fee was low, and there were fewer competitors. It was a good way to get a bargain.
However, how did Ali have a relationship with the judicial auction?!
Wang Yan opened the web page in puzzlement and searched. Suddenly, an online judicial auction website popped up.
It was under the banner of Jack Ma.
After a quick glance, Young Master Wang had a plan in mind.
Courts of all levels were stationed throughout the country. The auction items were authentic and the price was fair. The platform even provided appraisal, evaluation, and legal support.
It was very convenient.
“Young Master Wang, you’re thinking of buying something as a gift, right? There’s a large primary blue and white vase in the calligraphy and painting antique section, and there’s a glass type emperor green bracelet in the jewelry section. Both are of high quality!”
Wang Yan immediately found the large primary blue and white vase. The starting price was 14 million, and the estimated price was 28.8 million. If there were many competitors, he might need to spend 25 million to get it.
It was just right to be more expensive!
Wang Yan was instantly happy.
“Yichen, thank you for your kindness. Thank you very much!”
Lv Yichen’s fawning voice was stuck to his teeth through the phone. “Look at what you’re saying! It’s a small matter. As long as I can help, I’ll definitely do my best!”
“Okay, let’s have a gathering when we have time. I’ll go pick something up first. Talk to you later.”
After Wang Yan gave a perfunctory reply, Lv Yichen immediately took the initiative to leave.
Sigh, no wonder some people like to keep a spare tire. It’s so convenient and comfortable!
Happily browsing the website, Young Master Wang started picking the auction items.
He opened the page of the blue and white jar and looked at it carefully. Wang Yan suddenly felt a little confused.
Eh?
Why did the auction take so long?!
There was a countdown on the page. It was very eye-catching. It showed that the auction would end in 51 days.
F*ck!
What was the meaning of this?!
Wang Yan’s heart was beating rapidly. He immediately confirmed with the system.
“Can I use the card for auction item which exceeds the range of seven days?”
The System Daddy was very reasonable. He would answer all questions related to the use of props.
[ Yes, you can use the card within the time limit. The auction cycle will not affect the final result. ]
F*ck!
Wang Young Master was instantly so excited that he wanted to lift a person high up. However, when he looked back, only the sand sculpture Like Jade was in the bedroom. He thus gave up.
Auctions would take a long time. Under normal circumstances, that’s not a good thing.
It was because the longer it took to bid, the more competitors it would be, and the closer the item would come to its actual value.
If you only had one day to bid, it’s easy to pick up the slack.
Some potential buyers might not even know the news and the auction would had been over.
However, the long auction period was a great thing for Wang Yan.
If it was at an auction, he would have to take the item and pay on the spot. Wang Yan could only bid based on the three million he had on him.
With ten times the leverage, he could at most pry open 30 million items. He would have no money for anything more.
After 50 days, Young Master Wang would be able to save at least 20 million worth of money. He could directly use ten times the leverage to take down an item that was worth 200 million!
Did he make a lot of money?!
Young Master Wang immediately opened all sorts of interfaces and frantically searched for the item with the highest valuation.
Money was a b*stard. If I spent it all, I would make more!
Just buy!
Opening the interface and ranking the items according to the price from high to low, Young Master Wang suddenly had an eye-opener.
Capital Chaoyang District, a commercial building with four upper floors and three lower floors, with a total floor area of more than 60,000 square meters, the starting price was 2.1 billion.
It started in July and ended in December. So far, no one had bid for it.
It made Wang Yan envious…
You couldn’t bear to part with it, I could!
You’re afraid that it wouldn’t be easy to make a move, I was not.
210 million would be in your hands, and you could hand it over to the bank. The loan would be at least 1 billion, and the system would be upgraded two levels in a row. How comfortable would that be?!
Unfortunately, money came from nothing.
Next, commercial land, equity, debt, forest rights, mining rights, equipment, ships and airplanes…
It was an eye-opener for Wang Yan.
Especially the mining rights. There was a “mining rights, construction (structural) buildings, machinery and equipment, and vehicles” from Delong coal industry in Gujiao City of the mining province. It was estimated to be worth 1.5 billion, with a deposit of 1 billion. The starting bid was 950 million.
Looking at the details, the construction and vehicles were simply given away for free. Just the mining rights alone were more than 1.3 billion!
Aiyo, if I really won, would I be a genuine second mining generation?!
Young Master Wang thought about it for five seconds, and with a straight face, he closed the page.
Forget about whether the money was enough, even if he could get it…
It was most likely a loss.
The mining industry was really not something that ordinary people could handle. Nowadays, there were pits everywhere in the coal industry. Environmental protection and the coal price were two huge mountains that could crush Young Master Wang’s small shoulders.
I’d better go home and play with earthworms…
Thus, Young Master Wang checked all the way and finally picked out three items.
Shanghai Thomson First Class Block A 43rd floor duplex house, 876 square meters, three stairs for one house, two underground parking spaces, 270 degrees River view, only 50 meters from the river.
The house was good, and the valuation was even better.
208 million!
The starting price was 185 million, not very much cheaper.
It was less than 15 days until the end of the auction, at this time, no one had yet bid for it.
Hehe, if it didn’t fail two or three times, no one would take it.
After he listed it down, Wang Yan continued to look at the following item.
Golden Bridge building in Gujiao City, a total of 68 floors, construction area of 60,000 square meters, land area of 6,000 square meters.
The total price was 308.8 million. The auction had failed twice, and the current starting price was 173 million.
There were 43 days left.
If nothing unexpected happened, the auction would continue.
Wang Yan was very familiar with the location. It was not in the center of the business circle but not far from Xiawa.
What to do with such property after it was taken over was a problem for most buyers.
Although Wang Yan did not have to fork out much money, he still had to consider its use.
Although it seemed to be a lot of money, it didn’t have much meaning in reality…
The third option was finally interesting.
Shanghai Pudong New Area, Pudong south road, 18th and 19th floors, Haiguang building.
The area was 7,400 square meters, estimated at 480 million, and the auction failed twice. Currently, the starting price was 320 million, and the remaining auction time was 29 days.
The location wasn’t included in the core circle of Lujiazui, but it was very close to everywhere, and the transportation was especially convenient. Behind it was a residential area, and the employees didn’t even need to walk five minutes to rent or go to work.
The original price was 65,000 yuan per square meter, and the current price was about 43,000 yuan. It was considered very cheap.
So the key question was… did Wangting Yule need such a high-end office space?
It was not necessary for the time being, but if they wanted to make it big, they needed it sooner or later.
If they really did a good job with the concept of being an internet celebrity, it was not impossible for them to go public in the future. With their own office space, they could save costs and show their strength.
It just so happened that they were about to expand their army, so they had to find a place to accommodate them.
The 19th floor would be used as a live broadcast room, a dressing room, and a studio. The 18th floor would be used as an office, which was just right.
Coincidentally, Wangting Yule wanted to evaluate the value of their shares and redistribute them. By injecting two floors of office assets into them, they would be able to take back some of the shares that Ling Ya and the other two had.
Wang Yan didn’t plan to scheme against them.
Originally, it was just a small matter and nothing mattered.
Now, they might have to make a big deal out of it. It was very necessary to centralize power appropriately.
They had to reserve some room for financing. Otherwise, after two or three rounds of financing, the shares would be diluted to only ten or twenty points, which would affect their right too much.
Wang Yan considered all aspects clearly and quickly determined that the two floors of office buildings would be the most cost-effective auction item.
The only question now was…
Could he get it in 29 days?
Or to put it another way: Could he save up 33 million in cash in 29 days?!
Breathing wages was almost 6 million. He currently had 3 million in cash and was short of 24 million.
There was no place to earn money. It was all depending on that [ cold, slightly spicy, and very sweet ] card…
Wang Yan reviewed the contents of the card again and fell into deep thought.
The crux of the problem lay in He Miaomiao’s emotions and the value of the ingredients.
He could only coax her emotions at the last minute. The value of the ingredients could be controlled.
Wang Yan immediately called Wang Yunxi.
“Brother Xi Zige, how’s the negotiation with Haidilao and Haagen-Dazs going?”
Wang Yunxi was very excited. “I was just about to report to you. It’s basically a success!”
Wang Yan was excited. “Oh? What’s the price?”
“According to your request, we will use the best of everything!”
Haagen-Dazs would specially make an ice cream for us. The price will be 600 yuan per 100ml, and it will be announced to the public that it will be 1,888 yuan!
A total of 50,000 ml will be ordered, which is about 40 kilograms. The participants will each have an average of 4 kilograms, and the rest will be supplied to the fans and models present.
Just the actual cost of the ice cream alone was 300,000!
In addition, Haidilao was already actively buying Azure Dragon. The exact price was not available for the time being, but it was guaranteed to be the best quality!
In terms of advertising, Haagen-Dazs and Haidilao agreed to pay according to the popularity of the event.
But I still don’t understand. Why do we have to split it up? How good would it be if we just let them sponsor the ice cream directly…”
Of course, they couldn’t sponsor it directly. If they didn’t count the money, where would the critical hit come from?
But the truth couldn’t be told. Wang Yan could only give Xi Zige a shot of adrenaline.
“Only by paying by tier can we earn a sum of money from the other party. What’s 300,000 yuan worth of ice cream? You have to believe that our event can make the headlines!”
“Alright…”
Wang Yunxi foolishly believed it, because it seemed like there was indeed something to earn.
“It’s just that Mudniu isn’t too satisfied with the event. We didn’t choose their ice cream, so CEO Zhang has been pestering me about it.”
Wang Yan laughed out loud. “Why is UEC getting involved in this! Tell CEO Zhang that if he pays the full advertising fee, I guarantee that I won’t see any other drinks throughout the venue!”
“Alright, then do you have anything else? Right now, there are napkins, mobile phones, apps, models, clothing, and a bunch of other sponsors waiting for me to talk to them.”
Wang Yunxi was so very busy. This was the first time he proactively wanted to end the call with Wang Yan.
“Okay, go do your work. Keep in touch.”
Putting down the phone, Wang Yan waved his fist.
The price of the ingredients seemed to be stable. As long as He Miaomiao didn’t poop, he would definitely be able to get more than 20 million!
Even if it was just a little bit, it didn’t matter. Let Wangting Yule settle their dividends and cash flow in advance. 10 million should be enough.
So… Take It!
Wang Yan immediately registered an account, paid the deposit, and used the [ Auction card ] . His target was the two-story office building in Shanghai.
When he confirmed it, Young Master Wang’s hands trembled a little.
He was so excited!
A month later, his net would be over 500 million!
With the office building in hand, his experience soared to around 70 million, and he had a direct mortgage of 60 million. If he used it to invest in Wangting Yule, he could upgrade the system!
Then, inject the office building into Wangting Yule according to the market value, and the reverse would be another 400 million experience points!
Wahaha, the next level would have a maximum of 750 million experience points, and in the blink of an eye, more than half of it would be filled up.
If they could grasp some other rhythm, they might be able to upgrade the system to level 10 before the end of the Lunar New Year!
By then, the breathing wages of 1.8 million per day would be 30 million per month. If they did not talk about business and only consumption, they would be able to do whatever they wanted.
Buying clothes to try on one by one?
Why was my time so worthless?!
I would directly hire Lin Weiwei as an image consultant, throw the card to her, and go shopping!
If it did not look good or uncomfortable, I would just beat her up!
Feeling bloated?
That’s right!
Who wouldn’t if one had 30 million yuan of pocket money in a month?
After being beaten up by Liu Li’s socialist iron fist twice, it would naturally stop.
After spring, they would start to build the villa.
Then, they would study hard and accumulate connections. In another year or two, they would go and wrestle with the real big shots in the business world!
After planning for the future clearly, Young Master Wang smiled like full of peach blossoms.
It was not that I was not calm, no one could be calm!
When the sand sculpture Like Jade turned his head, he saw that Wang Yan’s shoulder was shaking.
They shook and shook again and again, and the frequency was fixed. It was very mysterious.
“F*ck!”
Like Jade cried out in a fuss and poked his head out to take a look.
“Boss, are you serious?!”
Wang Yan abruptly stopped smiling and turned his head back, clenching his fists as he stood up.
You asked for it, I was not to be blamed me for being too vicious!
