Tycoon: I can see the goddess's wish list novel Chapter 863

A few minutes passed.

When Luofeng arrived at the garage, he happened to see a Mercedes-Benz driving in, obviously the hotel's courtesy car.

"Good evening, Mr. Luo!" Li Qiang got out of the car and walked over to Luofeng's BMW X5.

Though the BMW X5 is not very high-end,

Li Qiang, knowing Luofeng's strength, didn't look down on him at all.

For someone who can casually spend millions or tens of millions on watches, what car he drives doesn't really matter.

Like Chairman Ma going out in slippers, could you say he's poor?

Luofeng said, "Good evening, Manager Li. Let me introduce you, this is my girlfriend, her name is Bai Ningbing!"

Li Qiang, being tactful, refrained from saying something foolish, like asking if he's seen a fairy.

Nor did he thoughtlessly extend a hand to shake Bai Ningbing's.

He just looked slightly away and said politely, without directly meeting her gaze, "Hello, Miss Bai Ningbing, I'm the manager of Patek Philippe. My name is Li Qiang, just call me Little Li!"

Actually, a Patek Philippe manager has some standing in the business circle.

But alas, Luofeng is way too wealthy, being a premium client of Patek Philippe.

This compelled Li Qiang to play the flatterer.

Li Qiang quickly spotted the Patek Philippe on Bai Ningbing's wrist, instantly recognizing it as a 7140G series worth 680,000.

Li Qiang knew very well, gifting such an expensive watch to a girlfriend

means this beautiful beauty isn't just a one-night stand for Luofeng.

But a true girlfriend.

After all, even an overnight session at the priciest "internet cafe" costs no more than a few tens of thousands.

Is it necessary to gift such an expensive watch?

These are all worldly truths; without asking Luofeng, one needs to judge Luofeng's relationship with the woman on their own for appropriate conduct and speech.

"By the way, Manager Li, do you have the list for tonight's auction items?" Luofeng asked.

Li Qiang invited Luofeng into the car, pulled a list out from his assistant's bag, handed it to Luofeng, and apologized, "I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, the ref1517 watch you need was added last minute, so it's not on the list!"

Luofeng passed the auction list to Bai Ningbing, "Honey, take a look, see if there's anything you like. If there is, we'll buy it!"

Li Qiang sensed once more Bai Ningbing's importance to Luofeng.

Well... it's not just women envying; even as a man, if Luofeng agreed, Li Qiang would pave the way too.

He's a bit too indulgent.

Picking auction items at will?

But Li Qiang was delighted too, previously thinking Luofeng came just for the watch tonight, but he might actually bid on other auction items too?

Yet even that watch would likely fetch a price of 20 million; he knows people at the auction and can earn a 2% commission.

That's more than 400,000.

That's why Li Qiang specially rushed over from Shanghai.

Otherwise, who'd have so much free time?

Li Qiang knew clearly, some of the highlight auction items tonight are billion-level, if Luofeng really buys them for Bai Ningbing, he'd make a fortune.

Li Qiang invited Luofeng into the car and soon headed to the front of Sotheby's Auction with him.

About half an hour later,

they arrived at a commercial building.

The group took the high-speed elevator to the fifty-fifth floor.

This is where Sotheby's Auction House is holding a small auction.

There's still a bit of time before the official start.

Bai Ningbing nodded sincerely, "Of course, but it's too expensive!" 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

The two are basically incomparable.

Like Hu Ge and Brother Fa, though both are dazzling, their standing in the community differs greatly.

Plus, this one is fancy grade with a clarity level of VS1.

You'd need a tenfold magnification to notice slight flaws.

Sotheby's Auction's appraisal started at 13 million USD.

This piece appeared at an auction in New York back in 2018, sold for 12 million USD then.

Reappearing on the auction block now, after four to five years.

The starting price now is higher than the previous selling price.

This indicates it has appreciated in value in the market.

Starting at about 13 million USD, converting to Daxia Coin, though not an exact hundred million, it's close.

In a 2% transaction case, Li Qiang would earn a 2 million commission, wouldn't he?

Even if Li Qiang's annual salary starts at a million, earning 2 million in one night is exciting for him.

"The price is too high!" Bai Ningbing reiterated, really feeling it unnecessary, honestly answering but not implying Luofeng should buy it.

"I'll look again, see if there's anything more affordable!" Bai Ningbing said.

But in reality, there are plenty affordable ones.

Most auction items are around five million.

Yet they fall a bit short in terms of meaning.

After seeing the best, the ordinary ones just seem a bit mundane.

As Bai Ningbing casually browsed, the time reached 8 o'clock, and the auction officially began.
