www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of automotive black technology!

Seeing Li Fanyu looking steadily toward the dock, Mason couldn't help but take a look.

"Hey, man. Most of the celebrities who frequently perform in Los Angeles are back today. So it's not surprising to see anyone! Why don't you go to the venue to register, and let's go in and have a look? You can be counted as one after all. If you are a rich man, go in and buy some small things for a third- or fourth-tier starlet, but you have a high chance of winning the beauty."

Li Fanyu glared at the talkative guy, thought about it for a moment, and walked towards the dock.

"Hey! Wait for me, brother!"

Ignoring the chatty guy behind him, Li Fanyu directly applied for a permanent membership certificate for an auction at the registration office in front of the pier.

Because of the large number of attendees, auctions of this level generally charge a large deposit for guests entering the venue. This is done to prevent someone from causing trouble and raising signs randomly, causing the auction to fail. The second is to highlight the value of the auction and isolate some people without financial strength.

Fifty thousand US dollars is not a lot of money for Li Fanyu.

And...it's not against the rules if you don't buy anything, you can still get the money back...

Seeing that the figure had already walked into the venue, he directly swiped his card to register Mason and himself, and then followed after him.

"Man, who are you looking for? Oh my god, look at that chick. Isn't that the supporting actress from the latest season of the American TV series Jasmine? Oh oh oh! That's tennis star Bill Watson! Oh my god, man, you're awesome It’s my lucky star. I wanted to come in and see it before, but I only had 30,000 US dollars left after selling the junkyard, which was not enough to register, haha!

Mist grass! I said, why did you ask me to come over and stand outside the door?

You dare not have money to buy tickets, you bastard!

The corners of Li Fanyu's mouth twitched twice. Seeing that Mason was still chattering in his ears, he wanted to seal this chatty mouth with tape!

I was distracted when I listened to his chatter just now, and lost my target in the huge crowd.

"Hey, I just saw a friend at the pier, but as soon as I turned around, I couldn't find him."

When Mason heard that he was looking for someone, it was someone who had just come in. Smiling slightly, "Hey, if she just came in, then the auction will start soon, and our seats should not be far apart."

Li Fanyu spread her hands, who knows when she completed the registration. Maybe it was done in advance?

But now the venue is overcrowded, like a superstar having sex. Not being able to find anyone for a while, he and Mason walked through the crowd and arrived at their seats in advance.

The auction is high-end, and the seats cannot be lined up like ordinary venues. Because the auction is based on sign-up bidding, the seating arrangements are very random, and the seats are independent round tables.

The guests present did not take the seats seriously at all, but randomly found people they were familiar with or interested in chatting with, except that the first row in front was reserved for some important guests and could not be used casually. Other than that, the rest is up to you.

As soon as Li Fanyu and Li Fanyu sit down, the auction will begin.

Gooding Auction has strong capabilities and a deep background.

After the lights in the venue were switched to the stage, everyone was surprised to find that the organizer of the auction was actually the former host of the famous talk show "The Daily Show", who was respectfully called "Uncle囧" by netizens "Jon Stewart.

Stewart recently resigned from "The Daily Show," and the industry is very concerned about his sudden departure. His sudden appearance at this auction naturally aroused quite a bit of surprise.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the annual Gooding Auction! I'm Jon, and I'm delighted to be the host of this auction that best embodies the most luxurious and luxurious auction."

Looking at the applause from the audience, Uncle Jon stretched out his hand to suppress the atmosphere and made his iconic embarrassed face, "Friends, before I come here, in order to avoid impulsive spending, which will make my poor financial situation worse. , I deliberately threw my wallet full of all my bank cards into the sea."

The joke is not funny, but his expression is strangely funny.

All the guests in the audience laughed helplessly and clapped when they heard that he was cheating on himself and the auction.

Amidst the laughter, Stewart stretched out his finger and emphasized seriously: "But I guess you guys don't have it, right?"

The audience continued to laugh, and some people raised their handbags or bank cards in cooperation.

"OK! Now that everyone has brought enough US dollars, our auction can finally begin without any worries. Now, I would like to invite Gooding's chief auctioneer, Wolkand, to show you our first lot; it has been This is the iPhone 4 design manuscript hand-drawn by the legendary IT giant Smith Jobs! The starting price is US$100,000, with each increase in price not less than US$10,000!”

After he stirs up the atmosphere, the auctioneer will appear. Wearing pure white thread gloves, he showed the manuscript sandwiched in double-glazed glass to the audience and then placed it in front of the camera.

Seeing the manuscript projected on the big screen through the camera, people immediately raised signs.

"One hundred thousand!"

“Once in a hundred thousand!”

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Okay, this generous and classy gentleman will increase the price by thirty thousand, one hundred and fifty thousand once!"

"Two hundred thousand!"

"Okay, No. 12! Oh No. 12, the charming Pennsylvania beauty, Amanda Seyfried! Amanda increased the price by fifty thousand, is there any friend who is more generous than her?"

"Twenty-one thousand!"

……

The first lot immediately brought the atmosphere to a fever pitch. With the cooperation of the auctioneer, Stewart sang rap-like speculations and made the atmosphere very exciting.

In the end, the manuscript was bought by a wealthy Canadian businessman for $450,000.

Then, it was delivered to Amanda Seyfried.

Faced with this gift, Amanda, who is now one of the four leading ladies in Hollywood, just stood up and waved to the wealthy businessman to express her gratitude. But after a while, the wealthy businessman came over and sat directly at her table.

Seeing this scene, Li Fanyu couldn't close his jaw.

This is totally a trick!

Mason felt it was even more exaggerated; even when the company was doing well before, his annual income was only three to four hundred thousand dollars. When I saw this behavior of spending a lot of money just to buy a seat, I was shocked.

"Man, why don't we discuss it with Amanda and let her hold up a sign when our car shoot starts later?"

Li Fanyu grinned but said nothing.

Compared with Steve Jobs’ manuscripts, the next few lots are not inferior at all in terms of weight. A piano collected by Richard Clayderman, a set of crystal jewelry worn by Nicole Kidman, a limited edition watch handmade by Patek Philippe in 1970, and a Montblanc diamond-encrusted pen.

Except for the pen, which was sold at a price higher than the reserve price, all these items fetched very high prices.

Such a fierce atmosphere was really enjoyable for everyone in the venue. Throwing themselves into the atmosphere, some actresses' makeup was wet with sweat.

In order to give everyone some time to relax, Stewart announced the end of the appetizer portion of the auction and took a fifteen-minute break before showing the highlights of the auction.

Li Fanyu and Mason felt excited even if they didn't raise their cards once.

The two guys sat nervously for a long time. Although they didn't raise a card once, they stretched their necks and sweated while raising the bids. At this time, there was an intermission, so he got up and walked to the drink counter to relax.

Just when the two of them had a glass of wine and were about to return to their seats, Li Fanyu heard a familiar voice say: "Mr. ."

As soon as Li Fanyu turned his head, he saw Zhou Qingyu holding his shoulders and facing away from him.

Across from her, stood a man with a bright smile.
