Automotive Black Technology Chapter 428: : I have a friend who never uses perfume

"Um, isn't this perfume a bit expensive?" Li Fanyu said calmly, pressing Zhou Qingyu's hand.

"Fortunately, haven't you heard of the saying that perfume has liquid gold? When Royal Dignity No. 1 was first created, one milliliter of this perfume was worth 10,000 US dollars. Now it is estimated that there are not two bottles in the world. If you buy it for two hundred thousand dollars, you will make a profit."

Li Fanyu was speechless after hearing what she said.

He once read a question on Zhihu: When did you feel the difference in class?

In the responses at that time, some said that they saw a 16-year-old girl in a special car with a driver, and the driver carried her to and from the car. Another said that a child bought a comic, but a certain revealing scene in the comic made people laugh. When my parents saw it, the comic was discontinued the next day...

Now, seeing Zhou Qingyu wave his hand and quote a price of 150,000 US dollars to buy a bottle of perfume, Li Fanyu really felt the difference in consciousness and class.

To be honest, even if Li Fanyu buys all the items in this auction from beginning to end, he still has the strength.

It cost billions to invest in a research and development center, and even gave away dozens of A8s for publicity, but he didn’t feel bad at all. But spending hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a bottle of perfume...

Ahem, this matter quite challenges his concept.

To put it bluntly, this guy got started too quickly. Although I have money, my underlying consumption concepts and methods of managing money are still in the same state as before.

Spending 30,000 to 50,000 yuan to buy a set of clothes is already the limit of this product...

While he was surprised, the price of this bottle of perfume had risen to US$250,000.

Whether it is in terms of collection value or practical value, perfume is almost at its limit at this price.

Unless there is someone who absolutely insists on it, or someone who has special feelings for this item, this is the transaction price.

Even the auctioneer felt that he was in place, and the tone of the auctioneer's bids softened, losing the agitation and charm just now.

Seeing that the overall situation was decided, Zhou Qingyu raised his sign again and added another ten thousand.

"Oh! This beautiful oriental beauty, supermodel Miss Zhou Qingyu bids 260,000, 260,000 once, 260,000 twice! 260,000..."

"Three hundred thousand!"

Wow!

With a shout from Xu Lin not far from the booth, the normal atmosphere was once again aroused.

Xu Lin never took his eyes off Zhou Qingyu from the beginning of the second half of the auction.

Seeing Zhou Qingyu talking and laughing with Li Fanyu, chatting from time to time, I felt jealous of him.

He has been plotting against Zhou Qingyu for more than a day or two.

Ever since he saw Zhou Qingyu as a jewelry model at a luxury goods exhibition, he was astonished and tried every means to get close to her.

But unfortunately Zhou Qingyu didn't like him and always kept a distance. Don't accept the gift, and don't go to the meal. I even spent 100,000 US dollars to buy a designated dance partner at a charity ball held by Victoria's Secret, but when I chose Zhou Qingyu, she was rejected.

That was the one that hurt his face the most; because Zhou Qingyu didn't want to be his dance partner, she even bought the spot back to herself with her own money.

But men are cheap, especially men like Xu Lin who are really not short of money.

Young girls are tired of playing with other things, so let’s try something a little more difficult. It feels like you have finished a game and want to switch to hard mode.

The less attainable it is, the more attractive it is to him.

In his eyes, women in the entertainment industry are just like that. He has also played with foreign starlets a lot, and the experience he has gained from these women is that there is no woman in the world that cannot be separated with money.

So when he learned last week that Zhou Qingyu had come to Los Angeles to participate in a Hollywood movie casting and auction, he followed him like a dog that smelled meat.

Firstly, I want to use my own strength to help Zhou Qingyu handle the matter of the heroine in the movie. Second, I want to prove my financial strength again through this auction.

When he saw Zhou Qingyu raising a sign twice just now, he determined that Zhou Qingyu liked that perfume.

Inspired by the wealthy businessman who courted Amanda Seyfried just now, Xu Lin also wanted to go through the same routine.

So just when the auctioneer was about to swing the hammer, he directly bid a high price, preparing to buy the perfume and then give it to Zhou Qingyu in front of the entire audience.

Haha, in front of so many celebrities, if she refuses again, she will be ruining her character. Amanda, the Hollywood actress who was more famous than her just now, had accepted gifts from others. If she continued to act cold and aloof, she would be bringing trouble to herself.

When Xu Lin thought about this, he felt relieved.

Zhou Qingyu was not very happy.

Seeing Xu Linqi shouting prices in a high-profile manner, her brows furrowed together slightly. With her eyebrows slightly raised, she looked even more beautiful.

"Ha! This generous gentleman offered three hundred thousand dollars! Are there any friends who want to take this unique bottle of perfume into their arms? Oh? No? Three hundred thousand dollars at a time, three hundred thousand dollars. Dollar twice!”

"Three hundred thousand." Zhou Qingyu held up the sign again with an expressionless face.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!" Xu Lin thought that Zhou Qingyu couldn't let go of his dignity, so he quoted a high price again.

"Three hundred and sixty thousand." Zhou Qingyu immediately fired back.

"Four hundred thousand!" Seeing that she had no intention of giving up, Xu Lin stood up, smiled at her, and raised the price again.

Li Fanyu is holding grass!

Seeing that Zhou Qingyu was unable to stop the car, he quickly grabbed her arm and said, "Isn't it just a bottle of perfume? That's not it..."

Zhou Qingyu looked at him with a smile and shook her head, indicating that she had concerns in her heart.

He turned around and called a new price: "Four hundred and one hundred thousand."

"Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Four hundred and sixty thousand."

"Fifty thousand!"

"Fifty-one million."

……

The guests present were all stunned. They never expected that they would encounter such tit-for-tat bidding just in the middle of the auction.

This situation is not uncommon at Gooding auctions, but it is usually concentrated on the finale lots in the second half of the auction.

According to regulations, guests participating in the auction are not allowed to communicate during the auction, so Xu Lin could not tell that he bought this bottle of perfume to give to Zhou Qingyu.

Zhou Qingyu's emotional intelligence is not low, and she can already understand his meaning from his helpless face.

But she didn't want Xu Lin to pay for the bottle of perfume.

Whether Zhou Qingyu keeps participating in catwalk shows to make money or establishing her own luxury brand, it is all in order to maintain financial independence for the rest of her life. You may not be rich, but at least you want to do what you like without having to rely on others.

In the modeling industry, she has seen too many fellow sisters who quit the industry and married into wealthy families; they live a life of luxury and luxury every day, but they can only rely on others to watch their master's face.

Days like that made her feel scared.

So in her opinion, women who are seduced by men with material things are stupid.

Originally, she wanted to buy this bottle of perfume because she liked it.

But now the nature of the matter has changed - it has become her persistent defense of her heart.

So in the face of Xu Lin's repeated bids, Zhou Qingyu added ten thousand to his asking price every time. This kind of bidding method means that you are bound to win.

The price was quickly raised to 600,000.

The auction price at this time has far exceeded the bottom line of the auctioneer's heart. Even the host can't stand it anymore.

After Zhou Qingyu shouted the price of 610,000 for the last time, he picked up the microphone. Not several times, but he said to Xu Lin half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Sir, since this lady values ​​​​so much this bottle of Royal Dignity No. 1. If it were me, I would like to be more gentleman, and adult beauty may be better. Choose. Do you want to increase the price? ”

Seeing Stuart speak, some of the guests around Xu Lin also muttered a few words in a low voice.

Not understanding Xu Lin's intentions, everyone thought he was deliberately trying to get in trouble with Zhou Qingyu and wanted to steal his love.

Hearing the sarcastic remarks around him, Xu Lin was so angry!

He glanced at Zhou Qingyu angrily; this woman! It’s simply unreasonable! Don't know what is good and what is evil!

Then he sat back in his chair angrily amid the disdainful looks of the people around him.

When Stewart saw this, he acted very quickly several times.

After three settlements, no one raised the price, so he swung the hammer very quickly, "Three hundred and one hundred thousand, deal! Twenty milliliters of Royal Dignity No. 1 now belongs to the beautiful Oriental supermodel Miss Zhou Qingyu!"

Although the previous auction prices were very high, they were all within the normal range. This bottle of perfume can be regarded as the first dark horse in this auction.

So Stewart walked to Li Fanyu's table and asked Zhou Qingyu, who was accepting congratulations from people around him: "Miss Zhou, congratulations on becoming the final winner and bringing this precious perfume into your arms. But I I seem to remember that you own your own luxury brand, and you seem to know more about perfume than me in the fashion industry.

So, I have a question. Why are you so interested in Royal Dignity No. 1, a unisex and even masculine perfume, that you are willing to pay more than three times its value to buy it? You know, this perfume was formulated by Clive Christian to target the men of the British royal family. You should know this better than me, right? ”

Zhou Qingyu took the microphone handed over by the waiter, turned to look at Li Fanyu who was still aching for her, and then nodded slightly to Stewart.

"Because I have a friend who never wears perfume. I had the opportunity to come into contact with this Royal Dignity No. 1 before; its first notes are composed of cardamom, bergamot, fresh pineapple and nutmeg. The middle notes are combined with jasmine , agarwood and sandalwood. The base is a mixture of musk, amber, and rosemary. I think this scent that feels calm and reliable when you first encounter it, and feels energetic and novel when you encounter it again is very suitable for him. ”
