LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 66: Breakthrough
&nbThe second young master of the Xiao family was knocked to the ground. Upon seeing this, the bodyguard not far behind him immediately ran over and pushed Lu Xuan away and stood in front of the second young master.
&nbLu Xuan pretended to be pushed and staggered backwards, but he was secretly vigilant, always on guard against the two bodyguards taking action.
&nb "Second Young Master, are you okay?" The two of them helped the Second Young Master of the Xiao family who fell to the ground and asked with concern.
&nbAfter asking, one of the bodyguards let go when he saw that there was nothing wrong with Young Master Xiao. He turned around and stared at Lu Xuan with sharp eyes, walking over and pretending to teach him a lesson.
&nb"It's okay." Second Young Master Xiao frowned and shouted. He stood up straight with the help of the bodyguards. He waved his hands to stop any of the bodyguards who were about to make a move and said, "Come back, you two, stand down." .”
&nb"Yes!" After hearing this, the bodyguard turned around without any objection, and retreated behind Young Master Xiao with his companions.
&nbTang Yu on the side also saw clearly that the person who bumped into Second Young Master Xiao was Lu Xuan, and couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.
&nb "I'm sorry. I was drinking water and rushing on my way. I didn't notice anyone in front of me. I'm really sorry." Lu Xuan pretended to be panicked and apologized repeatedly to the second young master Xiao who fell to the ground.
&nb "Okay, stop pretending." Second Young Master Xiao looked at Lu Xuan with a faint smile, and said indifferently: "You are the Lu Xuan who helped my brother make a lot of money recently, right? Not bad, not bad!"
&nbTang Yu originally thought that Lu Xuan was going to be in bad luck, but he didn't expect Second Young Master Xiao to react like this. He didn't mention anything about being hit. On the contrary, he seemed to appreciate Lu Xuan.
&nbLu Xuan didn't respond. The panic he had pretended before suddenly disappeared, and his face became expressionless.
&nbSecond Young Master Xiao ignored Lu Xuan's reaction and still thought to himself: "You are a talented person, are you interested in coming over to help me?"
&nb "No, thank you Second Young Master for your compliments. I'm very satisfied with my current job." Lu Xuan firmly shook his head and declined.
&nbThe corner of Young Master Xiao's mouth twitched a few times, but he quickly covered it up and returned to normal. He said with a smile: "He is indeed a loyal soldier, but I also like the more loyal he is, at least he is much better than the kind of wallflower who can act according to the wind. "
&nb "Second Young Master, that's a compliment." Lu Xuan still looked calm and responded without saying a word.
&nbSecond Young Master Xiao raised the corner of his mouth and said with a sly smile: "If you feel uncomfortable staying around my brother one day, you can come to me at any time."
&nb"Thank you, Second Young Master." Lu Xuan just smiled and replied lightly.
&nbSecond Young Master Xiao nodded, and then looked at Tang Yu several times, his eyes full of teasing.
&nbBut now that Lu Xuan is here, he doesn't use his language as lightly and unscrupulously as before.
&nbAfter watching for a while, Second Young Master Xiao looked away, turned around and coldly ordered the two bodyguards behind him: "Let's go!"
&nbAfter receiving the order, the bodyguards followed Xiao Ershao to the left and right to protect him as he left.
&nbWhen the figure of Second Young Master Xiao disappeared completely in the corridor, Tang Yu, whose face was still a little ugly, came back to his senses, glanced at Lu Xuan and warned him seriously: "Don't do this next time, this guy is not a good person, maybe I appreciate that your attitude was so friendly just now. If it had been someone else, it probably wouldn't have been like this. The Second Young Master is usually moody, and no one can predict what he will do next, he is like a lunatic."
&nb "Oh." Lu Xuan responded lightly, and then asked curiously: "Is he very powerful in the family? I don't think he is afraid of Young Master Xiao at all."
&nb "This guy is a lunatic. He is the most evil and powerful in the whole family. They have five brothers in total, and now he is the only younger generation who can compete with the elders!" Tang Yu slowly told Lu Xuan, there was a hint of anger in her tone. It was obvious that Second Young Master Xiao's outrageous behavior made her very uncomfortable.
&nbLu Xuan raised his lips and smiled, and said: "It turns out that he is a competitor who can compete with Mr. Xiao. No wonder he is not afraid of him at all, poaching me in front of you."
&nb "You should be more careful in the future and don't be as reckless as you were today when you meet him." Tang Yu warned Lu Xuan again.
&nbLu Xuan nodded. Seeing that Tang Yu was okay, after chatting for a few more words, he said goodbye to her and returned to the room.
&nbBack in the room, Lu Xuan thought about the research institution, and then sat on the bedside to practice as usual.
&nbThe time of cultivation always passes quickly, and a night passes in the blink of an eye.
&nbThe next morning, Lu Xuan was woken up early by Yang Qi. After breakfast, the three of them went to the exhibition hall where the conference was held.
&nbThe exhibition hall is already full of people, all waiting for the start of a new round of rough stone selection activities.
&nbThe rules announced by the organizer today are to only take out ten super huge rough stones and auction them using a free bidding method. The starting price of all rough stones is five million, and whoever pays the highest price will get the rough stones.
&nbThere are rarely only ten rough stones, and they are all very large. The weathered rocks outside are of good quality and are easy to produce high-quality jade. In addition, the quantity is small, which attracts a large number of people to bid at once. Everyone wants to Grab a piece.
&nbThe first stone was just brought onto the stage by the staff. The host took the microphone and explained to the audience: "Good morning, distinguished guests, the rough stone I want to introduce next is from Heisha Lao, Myanmar. The material of the pit has a smooth and delicate surface rock layer, and a faint luster on the surface. You can tell at a glance that it is a high-quality raw stone, and it is very likely to produce something good. I don’t need to tell you this, many people know it.”
&nb"The price of good rough stones is naturally not low. The rules are still as low as five million as mentioned before, and each increase in price cannot be less than one hundred thousand. Bidding is free, and the one with the highest price will win. Now I announce that the bidding for the first rough stone has officially begun. !" At the end, the host knocked down the hammer in his hand and shouted loudly to announce the official start of the conference.
&nbThe hammer fell like a big stone thrown into a calm pool, and the crowd in the audience who was waiting for it immediately started bidding wildly.
&nb"600 million!"
&nb"770 million!"
&nb"1000 million!"
&nbThe price rose crazily like the tide on a rainy day, and in the end there was only a middle-aged man in a black suit competing with a long-haired woman.
&nb"1700 million!" the long-haired woman shouted.
&nbAs soon as he finished speaking, the middle-aged man immediately started bidding not to be outdone: "2000 million!"
&nbWhile speaking, his face showed a determined look, as if he was announcing that the long-haired woman was bidding, and he would accompany her to the end.
&nbIn the end, the long-haired woman sighed slightly and put down the sign in her hand, and the venue immediately stopped bidding quietly.
&nbNo one quoted, so the host immediately picked up the hammer and made the final inquiry.
&nb"2000 million for the first time."
&nb"2000 million for the second time."
&nb"2000 million for the third time."
&nbAfter three times, there was still no one to bid. The host hammered down, looked at the middle-aged man with a smile and said loudly: "The deal was sold for 2000 million, congratulations to this gentleman."
&nbThe first rough stone was obtained by a middle-aged man in a black suit, which immediately attracted countless envious eyes.
&nbThe middle-aged man was obviously very happy to get this stone, and laughed heartily!
&nbLu Xuan and the other two people were also sitting in the bidding venue, but they didn't bid from the beginning to the end, they just looked at others silently.
&nb Yang Qi was so big that he was very likely to find a precious rough stone. However, seeing that Lu Xuan was not interested in the stone at all, he could only force himself to settle down. After all, Lu Xuan was stronger than He knows stones better.
&nbAfter the first stone was taken away, the second stone was carried up by the staff in less than two minutes.
&nbThe diameter of the second piece is much larger than that of the first one. After the forklift was shoveled onto the stage, five workers were required to move it before it was placed in the most conspicuous center of the stage.
&nb"This stone is also produced in Heisha Laokeng, Myanmar. The quality is nothing to say but it is much larger than the previous one. But the low price is still five million, and the value is not less than one hundred thousand each time. Now I announce , the bidding officially begins." The host introduced the rough stone, then picked up a hammer and struck it and said loudly.
&nbAs soon as the words fell, the crowd immediately started shouting and bidding crazily.
&nbIncluding Yang Qi, who looked like he couldn't hold it in any longer. He reached out and pushed Lu Xuan, and asked excitedly: "Brother, can we take a picture of this rock? It looks like a big treasure will come out." .”
&nb "Don't worry, haven't you heard the saying that good things sink to the bottom? If you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, there might be something better later." Lu Xuan smiled and warned lightly.
&nbAs for what is inside the stone, he already knew it. The value when opened is definitely less than million. There is no point in buying this kind of stone. If the price is too high, you will definitely lose money.
&nbBut Yang Qi didn't have the leisure to wait any longer, and couldn't help but murmur again: "But if there are no good things later, then we won't be able to grab them up front, wouldn't it be a huge loss?"
&nb "Heh." Lu Xuan raised his lips and smiled, then rolled his eyes at Yang Qi and said, "Don't worry, I have my own sense of discretion, and I'm not very optimistic about this stone. You believe me, I'm right. "
&nb"Okay." Yang Qi pursed his lips and became calm again, but his face was still a little unwilling. After all, there are only ten stones, and if one is snatched away, you will lose an opportunity. Anyone who sees a good product but doesn't even have a chance to bid would be unhappy.
&nbWhile the two brothers were chatting, the second stone had exceeded the million mark, and there were currently only a young man and an old man bidding.
&nb"2100 million!" The old man raised the bidding sign and said with a solemn expression and a strong tone.
&nbThe young man smiled, refused to show weakness, raised the sign and bid: "2150 million."
&nb"2200 million." The old man said again with a serious face and a serious tone.
&nb"2250 million." The young man did not back down and continued to bid.
&nbSeeing that the young man kept biting him, the old man couldn't help but blushed angrily, glared at him, and said angrily: "2400 million."
&nb"2450 million." The young man remained calm and slowly raised the price.
&nbThe old man was so angry that his lungs almost exploded. He gritted his teeth and revealed his final bottom line: "2600 million."
&nbAfter quoting the price, he glared at the young man fiercely and said angrily: "Young man, you can't be so shameless. If you want to win, I will win openly. Don't add little by little like you are taking advantage."
&nb"I like this, can you take care of it?" The young man sneered, and then continued to bid: "2650 million!"
&nb"Okay, okay! I will let you have no fight!" The old man said with a red face and an angry look on his face.
&nbHe also knows that no matter how much the bidding goes on, this guy will still stick to his back like a dog-skin plaster.
&nbThe old man gave up the bidding, and the host immediately asked the people present: "2650 million is the highest price currently. Is there anyone with a higher price? I will announce 2650 million for the first time."
&nbEveryone in the audience shook their heads. Obviously, everyone was not optimistic about the sharp rise of this stone and did not dare to buy too much.
&nb"2650 million for the second time." The host just raised his hammer and asked again slowly.
&nb"2650 million for the third time, the transaction was completed. Congratulations to this gentleman." After no one bid for three times in a row, the host knocked the hammer and announced the final result.
&nbThe young man seemed very happy after taking the picture of the stone, smiling proudly, while other people who had participated in the bidding looked sad and disappointed.
&nbThe third stone was brought onto the stage, and when the host announced the start of the bidding, a loud voice suddenly came: "Ten million!"
&nb As soon as he opened his mouth, the price of the stone was tens of millions. Countless people immediately looked towards the voice and found that it was a young man wearing a white suit with a beautiful girl beside him.
&nb"Isn't this the arrogant guy?" Yang Qi also looked over, and immediately discovered that this young man was actually Liu Ziyu who was laughing at him when he was picking out rough stones on the first day.
&nbAnd Liu Ziyu was sitting in front of them, and the two groups were positioned exactly right.
&nbLu Xuan also looked over after hearing Yang Qi's words. Liu Ziyu seemed to sense something and turned his head to look behind him, and their eyes suddenly collided.
&nb"Thirteen million!"
&nb"Fifteen and a half million!"
&nb"Eighteen and a half million!"
&nbIn just a short time, the price of million has been continuously refreshed and raised, approaching the million mark.
&nbThe two of them just looked at each other. Liu Ziyu showed a contemptuous smile, then turned around, held up the bidding sign and shouted loudly: "Twenty-five million!"
&nbWow——
&nbHearing this bid, many people in the venue became quiet, because the price has reached the top, and if it doesn't make money, it will be a big loss.
&nbMany people silently put down their bidding cards and planned to give up this round of bidding.
&nb"2700 million." A young woman dressed enchantingly gritted her teeth and raised the bidding sign again to bid. However, judging from her tone and demeanor, it was far-fetched to call out this price, and she seemed to be making a last-ditch effort.
&nb"3000 million." Liu Ziyu didn't even look at it, and directly raised the price to million with a confident look on his face, which suddenly surpassed the enchanting young woman's million.
&nbWhen the young woman heard the price and saw his confident look, she shook her head bitterly and put down the bidding card in her hand.
&nb"3000 million for the first time." After no bids were made for a long time, the host asked the people present with Liu Ziyu's price.
&nbAfter shouting three times in a row but no one raised the price, the host dropped the hammer, pointed at Liu Ziyu and said with a smile: "Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on this third stone. After the bidding is over, a staff member will take you to handle it." Relevant procedures.”
&nbLiu Ziyu took a picture of the stone, turned his head and smiled at Lu Xuan, his face full of sarcasm, obviously showing off that he had taken a good treasure.
&nbLu Xuan just smiled and didn't take it to heart at all.
&nbLiu Mo on the side also noticed Lu Xuan, smiled slightly and nodded to say hello, then asked Liu Ziyu full of doubts: "Ziyu, is this stone really worth this value?"
&nb "Don't worry, I can guarantee that this stone will definitely rise sharply. At least it will make a net profit of more than million minus the cost." Liu Ziyu patted his chest and said vowedly, not forgetting to look back at Lu Xuan A glance revealed a playful sneer at the corner of his mouth.
&nbLu Xuan ignored him and focused his gaze on the stage to look at the newly brought fourth stone.
&nbThree stones were snatched away in a row, and there were only the last seven stones left. The competition among the crowd became more intense, and the price exceeded the million mark early.
&nbDuring this period, Liu Ziyu didn't bid and neither did Lu Xuan. However, Yang Qi once again couldn't sit still and kept asking Lu Xuan if he wanted to shoot. If he didn't, it would be gone.
&nbNot only him, but also Tang Yu, who had always been calm, had a hint of anxiety on his face, but Lu Xuan just shook his head and told them not to worry.
&nbIn the end, the fourth stone was bought by a middle-aged man with a stout body and some bald hair for 2800 million.
&nbSoon, the fifth stone was moved onto the stage by the staff.
&nbAs soon as the staff announced the start of bidding, Liu Ziyu immediately stood up from his position and shouted loudly: "Twenty million!"
&nbWow——
&nbWhen someone said it was million, everyone present was immediately shocked by the price, and they all glanced at Liu Ziyu.
&nbSome people who raised their hands to bid silently put down the signs in their hands, looking downcast and sad. Some even showed expressions of surprise, looking at Liu Ziyu with confusion and curiosity.
&nb "Is this guy crazy about rushing? He eliminated % of his opponents from the beginning, and the few remaining people who can compete with him must be shocked by his determination to win, and are thinking about whether to rush for the shot." Yang Qi stood aside, Said angrily.
&nbBut Lu Xuan didn't feel any strange at all. He nodded to Tang Yu beside him and closed his eyes.
&nbTang Yu understood what he meant, and immediately picked up the bidding card in his hand. Before people could react, he shouted loudly: "3000 million!"
&nbWow——
&nbHearing Tang Yu's bidding sound, the people present who were originally shocked by Liu Ziyun immediately couldn't help but shout loudly, and unanimously cast their eyes on Tang Yu.
&nbSome people even started to tremble with their hands holding the bidding signs, with disbelief written all over their faces.
