Song Ya stood up in a daze, his mouth agape, but no sound came out.
Within just a few minutes, his emotions had gone through wild swings, and his mind was in a whirl.
It was only when Duan Zimo, who was equally stunned beside him, reached out and patted his shoulder that he seemed to wake up from a dream.
Ten minutes, 240 million!
He knew that Zhu Ning might bring him a pleasant surprise, but he never expected it to be such a huge one!
He opened his mouth to speak, only to find his voice hoarse and rough. He was so excited that he couldn't regain his composure.
"One hundred million!"
He growled at Duan Zimo in a suppressed voice, trying hard to stay calm, "Zhu Ning spent one hundred million here!"
Duan Zimo was equally excited. "Yes, one hundred million! Song Ya, your future path will be much smoother!"
Zhu Ning's heroic act of spending one hundred million to bid for the Spyder was simply an unparalleled honor for the car company. It was even more effective than advertising to boost the company's popularity!
For Song Ya, this was not just about making an immediate profit today. In the future, when he wanted to connect with various car companies for supplies, his priority would also move up.
It could even be said that she not only helped him hold the fort but also paved a smooth path for him!
A benefactor!
Song Ya turned his head. "President Liu, the wind was too strong just now. Who did you say was a fake socialite? I didn't catch it. Could you say it again?"
Hearing Song Ya's words, Liu Hong, whose face was already pale, turned even paler.
He slumped into his chair, looking dejectedly at Zhu Ning, who was surrounded by cheers and applause on the opposite side.
Fake socialite?
Why was he so stupid to think that a young lady who had already taken out one hundred million was a fake socialite!
In just a few minutes, Liu Hong had been severely taught a lesson by the constantly reversing reality.
The gap.
The gap was as vast as the difference between the clouds and the mud!
While he was still spending 70 million, worrying about being blamed and punished by his family.
Zhu Ning spent 200 million without even blinking an eye, spending money like water, like it was nothing.
Looking at the entire Haishi, how many socialite ladies could be as generous as her?
He remembered Zhu Ning saying that this was just her pocket money.
Pocket money...
Spending 200 million as pocket money with a wave of her hand...
No, it wasn't 200 million.
It was 300 million!
Four days ago, she had also paid 60 million for the Divo!
In just five days, her expenses exceeded 300 million!
This meant that the liquid funds available to her family were over a hundred billion!
Moreover, it also meant that Zhu Ning was a core member of her family.
Such a person was destined to lead the industry and the era in the future.
And he, for the sake of a license plate, had gone against her...
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and the more cold sweat broke out on his back.
Liu Hong's face became paler and paler, and his eyes looking at Zhu Ning were filled with horror.
Seeing Liu Hong's pale and terrified face, Song Ya beside him felt extremely elated!
He knew that he, Song Ya, couldn't have misjudged a person!
Zhu Ning was definitely worth befriending!
He stood up abruptly, his eyes, which were slightly red but still startlingly bright, looking in Zhu Ning's direction.
He clapped his hands vigorously, cheering and applauding for her!
The cheers and applause filled the air. Zhu Ning stood in the center of the venue, taking in all the shocked and excited looks on the field.
She knew that from now on, she would have a place in the upper - class society of Haishi!
Although excited inside, she remained calm on the surface. The model presented the car keys with both hands, and Zhu Ning took them. The applause of congratulations thundered again.
She nodded with a smile, indicating that she had received the congratulations. Her gaze swept from the excited crowd to Pei Jin's calm eyes.
He was very calm. It was as if the noisy world around him had nothing to do with him, yet he kindly chose to offer his blessings.
Their eyes met, and he nodded at her.
Zhu Ning nodded in return.
The car exhibition continued. The host continued to introduce the following cars in a hoarse voice.
There was an Aston Martin, priced at 48 million.
When the purchase began, the guests who were interested in buying all subconsciously looked in Zhu Ning's direction.
If she didn't raise her sign, no one dared to move.
No one wanted to compete with her.
They would only be crushed.
Zhu Ning smiled and said, "Everyone here is a guest. I've bought enough today. You can bid as you like."
The rebate was over, and she already had seven or eight super - cars in her hand. It was unnecessary to buy more.
Hearing her words, everyone immediately relaxed and began to raise their signs to bid.
"49 million..."
One and a half hours after the car exhibition started, the highlight of the show was presented.
— The Lamborghini Veneno Roadster.
The Poison.
There were only fourteen in the world.
It was the show - stopper car that Song Ya had tried his best to get.
Known as the "mobile collectible", it was the masterpiece of Lamborghini's 50th anniversary. The owners of it were mainly Middle - Eastern royal families and Silicon Valley tech giants.
It was the "Picasso painting" in the super - car world. Owning it was a symbol of the top wealth circle.
As soon as the silver - bodied car made its debut, the entire venue erupted in exclamations.
The old - money heirs who hadn't bid all this time sat up straight, waiting for the competition.
The host started the bidding at 60 million, and each bid increase had to be no less than 5 million.
Soon, someone raised their sign. "65 million."
"70 million."
"75 million..."
The price quickly reached 80 million. He Wenhui beside Zhu Ning asked, "Don't you plan to buy it?"
Zhu Ning showed the bunch of car keys in her hand. The keys of the super - cars jingled. She looked troubled. "How can I drive so many cars?"
He Wenhui was amused by her simple yet flamboyant act of showing off wealth. So she changed the topic and asked Zhu Ning who she thought would win this auction.
"Several of the current bidders are professional collectors. They have plenty of funds. I estimate the price will reach 100 million."
Zhu Ning looked at the bidders. Each of them exuded an air of nobility and seemed confident of victory. Then, after a while, she shifted her gaze to the man who had remained still.
She nodded at He Wenhui. "Him."
He Wenhui looked over. She was referring to Pei Jin.
Zhu Ning said, "The Crown Prince came all the way to the car exhibition. He won't leave empty - handed."
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, the man raised his sign. His calm and clear voice reached everyone's ears forcefully.
"One hundred million."
Jumping directly to one hundred million, the competitors on the field fell silent for a moment.
If they wanted to continue competing at this current bid, each subsequent bid increase had to be no less than 10 million.
They had 10 million, and Pei Jin surely did too.
But they knew their own limits. What about Pei Jin's?
Someone tentatively increased the bid to 120 million, and Pei Jin jumped the price again to 150 million.
It seemed that he could easily take out 200 million.
Everyone: ...
No way! Just when Zhu "300 - million" left, here came Pei "200 - million"?
What was going on!
They bid hesitantly and managed to raise the price to 170 million with difficulty.
Pei Jin calmly jumped the price to 200 million.
The scene fell silent, and even the host was shocked.
"Mr. Pei bids 200 million. Is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
Everyone remained silent for a long time.
Pei Jin looked at Zhu Ning.
Zhu Ning said, "A gentleman doesn't take what others like. President Pei, please go ahead."
Pei Jin glanced at her and thanked her.
The host started the process, repeating the price three times. Since there was no competition, the gavel fell, and Pei Jin won the Veneno at a price of 200 million!
The guests on the field stood up mechanically to applaud and congratulate.
What kind of venue was this?
It could even have two extraordinary people like this at the same time!
