Chapter 719 - The Last Item (1/2)
It was as if everything that had been found in treasure hunts in the past decades were gathered and presented at this moment.
The voices of the core members spouting money echoed everywhere in the entire hall.
It was very lively.
”I can't believe it, even the ring of the first monarch of our country is found! This is the very ring of the founding father of Huaxia! It is not even on the list. Ming Zhi Yi must have found it on his own,” Old Xiong muttered in shock. His sharp eyes narrowed at the old ring on the stage.
The amount had already climbed up to a high price, but was still considerably low if the historical significance of the ring was taken into consideration.
Xiong Zhi glanced at her grandfather. ”Do you want that, Grandpa?”
Old Xiong looked at his granddaughter, his eyes crinkling in amusement.
”I am just marveling at that man's ability to find something old and have long been thought as lost. But if I say I want it, will you buy it for me?”
”If Grandpa wants it, why not?”
”Nine!” One of the VVIP guests raised his placard and added another half of the latter's auction price.
It was already in billions.
”Ten!”
”Twelve!”
”Thirteen!”
”Sixteen!”
It went up to twenty billion.
”Are you sure that you can buy me this?” The old man raised his eyebrow, teasing Xiong Zhi.
Xiong Zhi raised her placard. ”Thirty.”
Everyone turned silent.
”Going once! Going Twice! Sold!”
Xiong Zhi looked at her stunned grandfather. ”Of course.”
Old Xiong: ….Too domineering.
Many people looked at Xiong Zhi and whispered.
Was she not the Young Miss Xiong who became a VVIP because of her huge contribution in the last major event of IAmFashionista? A dress that could have been at most one billion dollars, but was pushed up to twenty billion, a totally unimaginable and rather foolish price.
Many thought that she was too foolish to waste such an amount for a mere dress, no matter how precious it was.
So the reason why she spent twenty billion was to secure a VVIP position in the organization at the fastest time without any requirements. Even if the price was high, this was worth it.
However, right now, to spend twenty billion without qualms for the second time in the IAmFashionista auctions, this girl was simply a spendthrift after all!
For appearances though, they praised Xiong Zhi as a great contributor for today.
To everyone's surprise, the long lost ring of the founding father of Huaxia was not the last item today.
”There's actually more?”
”The last is usually the best. What could be better than the national treasure ring of the founding emperor?”
The lights dimmed again. The song suddenly changed into a low beating tempo, rousing the excitement and anticipation of the listeners.
The person who came up on the stage this time was not the host, but Ming Zhi Yi himself who still wore a mask.
The tall man came up on the stage. The guests who were still gossiping and marveling at Xiong Zhi's sudden display of her immense financial power turned quiet.
”I think everyone here enjoyed the 'special course' that we especially presented. This event marks my first year as the head, and I shall not let any of you be disappointed.”
Ming Zhi Yi suddenly turned towards the direction of Xiong Zhi's table. The pitch black eyes under the mask were directed at her.
Xiong Zhi felt the sharp and scrutinizing gaze thrown at her.
She could feel her limbs turning cold.
Those eyes were cold and searching. As if knowing, but at the same time, observing.
