"One million and five hundred thousand."

A lady immediately raised her hand to bid.

"Two million."

Immediately, a well-dressed woman raised her hand.

"Five million."

A familiar voice sounded out, causing an uproar. No one raised their hand because this price was already ten times the base price.

Shen Lian looked towards the direction of the voice and saw that it was Shangguan Zhiyun holding the card. The self-conceited smile slipped out from his eyes and the corners of his mouth. He looked as if he was determined to win.

Before the auctioneer shouted "the third time!"

Finally, the blue-and-white porcelain bottle belonged to Shangguan Zhiyun.

"Damn, this Shangguan Zhiyun guy is pretty rich!"

Shen Lian could not help muttering to himself. No wonder he spent 5 million without batting an eyelid. This was not something that normal rich people could do.

"The thing that Shangguan Zhiyun likes to do the most is to get fame. It's like I'm afraid others won't know that he's a member of the Wealthy Class! "

Su Ruoxue said as his mouth twitched.

"Hehe, the charity auction has actually already evolved into a show of wealth, a battle spirit field. In terms of price, taste, and lastly, it's reputation that's going to be competing! "To compete for fame and fortune, for fame and for profit, is always a twin. They complement each other."

Luo Yunshan smiled and said, "Moreover, the charity auction that is being held in this hall is only a small matter. Real players will not participate in this kind of auction!"

"Oh? Could it be that there is a bigger auction than this place? "

Shen Lian asked in surprise.

"I heard the Sister Mei'er say that there's an internal auction, and it's mainly held in the Antique Jewelry business world. Furthermore, the items that will be auctioned will always be different! "

Su Ruoxue said as if she was deep in thought.

"It seems that Snowy still knows some insider news!"

Luo Yunshan smiled and said, "In fact, other than the participants from the antique jewelry business, the internal trade fair is open to other people. For example, the VIP members of the clubhouse can enter to participate in the auction. Simply put, only those who have a good reputation and have a strong economy can participate in the auction."

"Oh! So that's how it is, I'm just an ordinary member of the Sky Sovereign Empire, no wonder I can't enter! It seems like VIP members get a lot of special treatment! "

Su Ruoxue suddenly understood.

"Hehe, that is the reality. After all, the amount involved in the internal auction is enormous. For the sake of safety and efficiency, it is understandable that they would take such measures."

As Luo Yunshan spoke, he said in a low voice, "Tonight, the internal auction will be a very exciting exchange for the Jadeite Ore Stone!"

"Trading with the Jadeite Ore Stone? Could it be the legendary rock gambling? "

Shen Lian was shocked.

"Hehe, that's right! Originally, this event was held in the border region, but in recent years, the price of the jade artifact had skyrocketed, causing the gambling to become even more popular. Therefore, someone with ulterior motives decided to hold this event in a clubhouse.

Luo Yunshan explained, then mysteriously smiled and said.

When the auction ends, I can bring the two of you to broaden your horizons!

"

"Really!?" I really must go and take a look! "

Shen Lian and Su Ruoxue started to look forward to it.

The auction for the charity banquet continued. The auction continued for almost two hours before the curtain fell. During this time, dozens of paintings, jewelry, and art were auctioned off.

However, most of the items that were auctioned off were around 10 to 800 thousand, rarely reaching 1 million. The blue and white porcelain bottle that Shangguan Zhiyun had bought was the most expensive antique in today's charity dinner.

And because of this, Shangguan Zhiyun also received the attention of the crowd, especially those famous rich ladies, who all looked at him with adoration, and even looked at him with enchanting eyes … After the auction ended, the guests began to drink and the banquet also began to come to an end.

As for the Old Lady Shu that was originally participating in the auction, Xiao Mei Er had already disappeared, leaving behind Zhou Wenqing, who was below the stage, instructing the servants to clean up the auction.

And through their conversation with Luo Yunshan, Shen Lian and Su Ruoxue had already found out that his wife, Zhou Wenqing, was one of the three Vice Presidents of the Lishan Association.

"It's about time. Let's go in."

Luo Yun Shan stood up, called out to Shen Lian and Su Ruoxue, and followed him towards a door on the right side of the hall, and into the clubhouse.

After passing through a garden corridor filled with luxurious flowers, the three of them arrived at a quiet two-storied baroque villa.

As soon as he arrived, he saw two large men wearing black suits standing at the entrance. They were like two black towers, and their demeanor made them look like two gatekeepers with a murderous aura around them.

"Ugh …" These two guards are not simple! "

Sensing the aura that was emanating from their bodies, Shen Lian was secretly shocked in his heart.

"Hehe, they're retired special forces soldiers, of course they're not normal people!"

Luo Yunshan smiled and took out an exquisite golden card, handing it over to one of the guards.

The guard took the letter and looked at it carefully, then glanced at Shen Lian and Su Ruoxue. He then nodded respectfully towards Luo Yunshan and said, "Greetings, Mr. Luo.

With that, the two guards opened the iron gate and a crimson Persian carpet appeared in front of them.

After entering, Luo Yunshan brought the two of them up to the second floor. What entered their eyes was a spacious and bright hall.

The hall was filled with rocks of various sizes. These were the ores excavated from Myanmar and brought here after a preliminary selection.

These ores had already been stowed away. In front of each pile, there was a staff member standing.

He saw that there were already quite a number of people in the hall, carefully observing the ores around them.

On top of those ores, there was a starting price of over ten thousand yuan, maybe even over ten million yuan!

Shen Lian did not know much about gambling. He only had a little knowledge about it online.

However, based on his understanding, Shen Lian knew that the ores stored in the hall were expensive.

Some of the ores had already been "opened".

Revealing a jade-green color that differed from one another... The so-called "open window"

It was to cut a small hole on the ore, exposing a small part of the "face" inside the ore.

Come.

Although the windows were all green, most of the people in the hall were not interested in this kind of ore.

This was because the main purpose of these people coming here was to gamble.

As for the stone gambling, one would bet unpolished jade, the ore that had yet to open their mouth.

This was because when the ore was mined, it was wrapped in a layer of weathered skin, making it impossible to tell whether it was good or bad. One had to cut it to see if it contained jade.
