Chapter 187: Extremely Smart, an Expert at Making Money
"Starting price: 1000 million!!!"
As the host finished speaking, everyone in the auction hall went crazy, bidding higher and higher.
"1100."
"1200."
"1300."
"1500 million..."
"..."
"........."
"5000."
"5500."
"6000 million..."
"........."
what?
you ask why?
Of course, it’s because the starting price of this 28th rough stone is higher than that of other rough stones.
With a tenfold difference in the starting price, who wouldn’t be excited?
The organizers are not stupid, so how could they do something that would damage their own reputation?
The last piece of raw stone to appear is number 28, which must be the best one in the eyes of the treasure appraiser they invited.
When everyone thought about the delivery rate and quality of the first 27 rough stones, the madness in their eyes could not be suppressed.
"8000."
"8600."
"8800."
The bidder in front was still saying 8800 million, when suddenly a strong male voice came from behind and shouted "2 million".
The word "2 million" shocked the whole audience!
"Isn't it too obvious that you don't follow martial ethics?"
"From 8800 million to 2 million, it's more than doubled. That's... outrageous."
"Who says not? It seems he is another rich man."
"Fortunately, it wasn't Miss Lin. Miss Lin is very rich and powerful, and we can't afford to offend her."
"So... who is this guy who asked for 2 million?"
"I do not know……"
After a quiet discussion, someone called out, "210 million."
At the same time, almost everyone's eyes were focused on the person who called out 2 million.
The staff was also very considerate and directly shone a beam of light on the man, exposing him more clearly to everyone's sight.
...
Lin Yaoyao was very, very happy.
The higher the final transaction price of each rough stone, the happier she is.
The better the jade they produce, the more beneficial it will be for her goal of increasing the popularity of Emperor Mountain.
As for this last piece of raw stone, she did not plan to bid for it, but it would be better for her to fulfill her wish than to let others sell such a good jade at a high price.
So… she found someone to help her bid.
And the man who shouted out 2 million was Lin Yaoyao's man.
In fact, he was not Lin Yaoyao's man, but someone found by Chen Congming. He was a young man of about 27 or 28 years old. Lin Yaoyao had never seen him before and he looked average.
The highest authority Lin Yaoyao gave him was: 5 million.
If someone calls out a price over 5 million, there's no need to follow it.
The reason is very simple. Lin Yaoyao has an identical raw stone in her hand, and she also has a treasure pot in her hand. There is no need to compete with others.
It would be good to get a few hundred million first!
Thinking of this, Lin Yaoyao silently gave herself a thumbs up.
Lin Yaoyao, Lin Yaoyao, you are so smart and a master at making money.
She secretly boasted about herself, and even Rich 99 couldn't stand it, so she just 'pretended to be dead': "Host, you are so narcissistic."
Lin Yaoyao: “…”
How embarrassing.
He was caught in the act of narcissism.
The awkwardness lasted only two seconds, and Lin Yaoyao thought it was nothing.
Baofu99 is a system, not a person. So what if he gets caught? As a human being, being narcissistic isn't illegal.
"Narcissism is better than low self-esteem." Lin Yaoyao took over and said earnestly, "99, please be content. If I were a host with low self-esteem, you would be finished~~~"
Rich99: "..."
...
The price of the finale, the 28th rough stone, quickly rose to 800 million yuan. The man Chen Congming had hired was a minor actor, and his acting was truly exceptional. He acted out a scene of beating his chest and stamping his feet, mourning the loss of his beloved rough stone, before leaving the stage.
In the end, the rough stone No. 28 was bought by the old man of the Rong family for 2 billion yuan.
Well, it’s the Rong family that owns the Venado Vineyard in Las Vegas.
Yes, it’s the Rong family that is rumored to be able to sell 500g of Vinado grapes for a sky-high price of 100 million yuan.
Everyone was waiting for the old man of the Rong family to cut the cake, but he didn't. He even publicly rejected Master Fei Yun's invitation, paid the money and left.
Looking at his back, Fei Yun fell into deep thought.
This old man from the Rong family is quite interesting.
He just took the raw stone back like this, what if it got damaged...
However, since others have paid the money, how they deal with it is their private matter. Even the jade master Fei Yun has no reason to interfere.
The auction ended and the bosses left one after another.
In the backstage of Qingcheng Star, Lin Yaoyao saw the young man, who was talking to Chen Congming.
However, Lin Yaoyao was a little far away and couldn't hear clearly what they were saying.
It was Chen Congming who saw her and waved to her, so she quickened her pace and walked over. "Congming, this is..."
Lin Yaoyao looked at the young man and asked hesitantly.
Chen Congming smiled and introduced Lin Yaoyao: "Fengyu. A temporary actor. Sister Yao, you..."
Hearing the word "actor" and thinking of his series of performances at the auction, Lin Yaoyao couldn't help but look at Fengyu again.
Then, under Chen Congming's surprised gaze, Lin Yaoyao asked Feng Yu: "What are you good at?"
Fengyu is not stupid.
After seeing Chen Congming, the sponsor who invited him to play a wealthy man, being so respectful to Lin Yaoyao, how could he not guess her identity?
He was surprised that Lin Yaoyao had such a high status at such a young age. At the same time, he said in a calm and powerful tone: "Acting and martial arts."
Martial arts?
Lin Yaoyao became interested and walked towards the sofa while calling Chen Congming and Feng Yu, "Come and sit down."
Then, as they walked towards her, she asked again, "Do you know martial arts?"
Feng Yu nodded, "My health is not good, so I started to practice martial arts."
After getting a positive answer, Lin Yaoyao looked at Fengyu again.
Oh, yes, and also mobilized the ability to get rich 99.
I saw the words "appearance score 76" on Fengyu's head.
76 points is indeed not good enough in the entertainment industry.
But he knows martial arts, and judging from the information retrieved by Baofu99, Fengyu's strength is no less than that of the Dragon Country martial arts master - Li Xiaolong a hundred years ago.
Very good, not bad.
Lin Yaoyao was determined not to let such a person go.
She had an idea in mind and looked at Chen Congming and asked directly, "How many artists does Mingyao Media have now?"
Chen Congming understood Lin Yaoyao's thoughts immediately and responded, "Sister Yao, there is only Yuanyuan for now."
Lin Yaoyao hummed an unclear emotion, and pointed her beautiful, slender fingers at Fengyu, "Now, there's still him."
Chen Congming nodded, "Okay, Sister Yao, I'll have someone prepare the contract right away."
Chen Congming is a man of action and he goes wherever he wants.
Fengyu looked at his back as he walked away, and was completely confused.
Yes, he did think that Lin Yaoyao might give him a chance, but he never expected that it would be a chance to sign with her company and become a contracted artist.
Can he...really do it?
All the investors before him were unwilling to sign him because of his average looks and lack of talent. How could Lin Yaoyao...
"Miss Lin."
Feng Yu was halfway through his thoughts when he suddenly stood up and bowed deeply ninety degrees to Lin Yaoyao.
"I have no talent. Apart from martial arts, I don't know anything else. If you sign me, I'm worried that you will lose money..."
Lin Yaoyao knew exactly what Fengyu was going to say.
Before he could finish, she smiled, revealing her white teeth, and spoke with a firm voice, "What I, Lin Yaoyao, want to do is only win, never lose."
"Fengyu, huh? Just wait, I'm going to make you famous all over the world."
Fengyu was stunned.
Not to mention where Lin Yaoyao's aura that makes people trust her instinctively comes from, the fact that she is so optimistic about him is enough to shock him.
He slowly stood up straight, looking at Lin Yaoyao with a look of hesitation in his eyes, "Ms. Lin, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to look like this."
"If I say you can do it, you definitely can do it." Lin Yaoyao stood up from the sofa and extended her hand towards Feng Yu. "Mr. Feng, on behalf of Mingyao Media, I welcome you to join us."
In Fengyu's eyes, Lin Yaoyao was like a god descending from the sky, attracting him and making his entire barren world bloom with brilliant flowers.
A feeling of gratitude arises spontaneously.
He stared at Lin Yaoyao's hand that was stretched out in front of him for a long time before his Adam's apple rolled and he solemnly stretched out his hand to shake hands with her.
Two seconds later, Lin Yaoyao heard Feng Yu's voice.
He said, "Miss Lin, I will definitely not let you down."
...
Ultimately, at Lin Yaoyao's behest, Chen Congming offered Fengyu a guaranteed annual salary of 10 million yuan, plus commissions. The contract, in accordance with Lin Yaoyao's request, clearly stated that after deducting costs, the profits would be split 50-50 between Mingyao Media and Fengyu.
This is the best treatment offered in the entire entertainment industry.
Fengyu was stunned, but soon he realized that all this was because of Lin Yaoyao, so he kept thanking Lin Yaoyao.
"Don't thank me. It's your ability that makes me willing to invest in you." After saying that, Lin Yaoyao glanced at the time and asked Feng Yu, "Where are you staying? I'll arrange a car to take you home."
Feng Yu looked embarrassed. "The landlord just kicked me out today. I...I'm staying in a hotel."
What he didn't say was: he was kicked out because he had no money to pay the rent.
But Lin Yaoyao knew.
She had seen in Fengyu's information a long time ago that he had no other money on him except the 1000 yuan that Chen Congming had just paid him.
Thinking that Mingyao Media was just starting out and had a lot of space, Lin Yaoyao made the decision, "Smart, take him to live in the company. There are not many people here now, so we can just allocate a floor for everyone to use as a dormitory."
Mingyao Media’s office building is a 5-story detached villa.
Why choose that place?
Of course it was Li Qingcheng's intention.
She, a rich lady, really couldn't stand being squeezed in with so many people in the office building.
Therefore, in order to cater to her preferences, Chen Congming had to move Mingyao Media from the office building to a luxurious villa.
"Sister Yao, there will definitely be no problem with Yuanyuan and I, but Mr. Li..." Chen Congming hesitated to speak.
Lin Yaoyao raised her eyebrows, and thinking of Li Qingcheng's perfectionist nature, she simply took out her cell phone and called her.
Li Qingcheng responded quickly, the first thing she said was, "At the auction, you're really good at calling out old men and old babies. Lin Yaoyao, you're so good at it. You can attract both young and old people???"
