Chapter 754: Victory in the First Battle

Blake's tone seemed to be a charity, Ma Xiong's face sank suddenly, he didn't expect the young and vigorous Blake to be so domineering, and he began to take the initiative to provoke Xia Ruofei before he entered.

Xia Ruofei's face remained unchanged, he glanced at Blake lightly, and said, "Take care of our business?" Maybe you will be disappointed, you can't get any truffles today!"

Blake sneered and said, "If you have money, you're afraid you won't be able to buy truffles?

Xia Ruofei was too lazy to talk to Blake again, and said directly to Ma Xiong: "Mr. Ma, let's go in!"

Ma Xiong immediately nodded, glared at Blake without a trace, and then said to Xia Ruofei: "Xia Sheng, please!"

As soon as the two of them took two steps, Xia Ruofei heard Blake's surprised voice behind him: "Monica......!

Xia Ruofei stopped and turned to look, only to see Monica, who was wearing a luxurious dress, walking out of the elevator with elegant steps.

Her figure is already very tall, and with a pair of Salvatore Ferragamo's handmade high heels, the long legs appear even more slender, and when she walks over with elegant steps, she immediately attracts a lot of amazing eyes.

And Xia Ruofei couldn't help but think of the beautiful scene last night, and couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart.

Facing the enthusiastic Blake, Monica's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then nodded at him lightly, even if it was a greeting.

Then her eyes moved to Xia Ruofei's body, a beautiful smile suddenly bloomed on her delicate pretty face, and she also quickened her steps and walked towards Xia Ruofei quickly.

"It's a pleasure to meet you again on beautiful Hong Kong Island!" Monica said in English.

Xia Ruofei also pretended that the two had just met, and said with a smile: "Monica, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Monica glanced at Xia Ruofei in a charming manner, at this time she had already walked in front of Xia Ruofei, hugged Xia Ruofei without hesitation, and came to give a veneer salute.

Just when hugging, Monica gently twisted on the soft flesh on Xia Ruofei's waist very covertly, and such a small action in front of the public made Xia Ruofei's heart flutter, feeling both nervous and exciting.

Although hugging and veneers are normal etiquette in Europe, being able to hug a big beauty like Monica, Xia Ruofei still attracted many envious eyes.

Feng Jing saw this scene not far away, and she didn't know why there was a faint sourness in her heart.

And Blake's eyes were on fire.

He took the initiative to greet Monica just now, and the two were still old acquaintances, and even Monica's Grasso's family and his Black family intended to match the two for marriage, but Monica was so cold to him.

Then Monica and Xia Ruofei hugged and kissed again.

This distinction made Blake go crazy with jealousy.

There was a deep coldness in his eyes, and he secretly gritted his teeth and stared at Xia Ruofei, his hands under the sleeves were also clenched into fists, and his nails were about to pierce into the flesh before he knew it.

Blake couldn't wait to step forward and beat Xia Ruofei hard, but in the end, reason overcame impulse, and he just stood in place, watching Xia Ruofei and Monica, and Ma Xiong walk into the auction venue with a smile.

"Huaxia hillbilly, I'm sure I'll teach you a profound lesson!" Blake said hatefully in his heart.

Blake also walked into the auction hall, he didn't have an invitation letter, so after checking the deposit payment slip and general admission ticket at the door, he was guided by the staff to the more backward ordinary area to do it.

Xia Ruofei, Monica, Ma Xiong and others are naturally in the guest seats in the middle of the front row.

Ma Xiong is also a wonderful person, he arranged Xia Ruofei and Monica in adjacent positions.

After Xia Ruofei and Monica sat down, Ma Xiong said hello, got up and left his seat to greet the old friends who had been invited to participate in the auction.

Ma Xiong did not introduce those friends to Xia Ruofei before the auction began - there was a small thank-you luncheon after the auction, and the people who were invited to attend were all old friends of Ma Xiong for many years, each of whom was very influential on Hong Kong Island and a high-ranking person with a pivotal position in all walks of life.

Ma Xiong plans to introduce Xia Ruofei to Xia Ruofei at the luncheon, and that environment is more suitable for everyone to communicate.

After Ma Xiong left, Xia Ruofei and Monica were left to sit in their seats.

However, there were cameras everywhere in the venue, and there were many people behind them, and there were also footage of media reporters everywhere, so the two of them were still sitting upright and didn't dare to do anything out of the ordinary.

Of course, although the two of them sat in their seats without squinting, they could still speak quietly, but they would cover their mouths with their hands when they spoke, so as not to be read out of their lips - the paparazzi on Hong Kong Island were too powerful, and Xia Ruofei had to guard against it.

"Monica, are you rested?" Xia Ruofei asked in a low voice.

Monica's eyes looked ahead, and she seemed to be looking at the official promotional video of the auction very seriously, and at the same time, she also covered her mouth and whispered, "It's good! I feel energetic now, Natsu, you are really a man with magical powers!"

Hearing Monica's undisguised praise, and even a hint of admiration in her tone, Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a strong sense of accomplishment in her heart.

He couldn't help but blurt out, "Are you free tonight?"

Monica couldn't help but purse her lips and chuckle when she heard this, and said, "Honey, you're getting more and more obsessed with me......"

Xia Ruofei coughed lightly with some embarrassment, and said, "It's not easy to see you, we should cherish the time, right......"

"Agreed, then...... I'm going to look for you at night?" Monica said with a smile, "I was so excited at the thought of your body that I didn't even want to participate in the auction......"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sweat profusely, and said in his heart, sisters, you are too proactive, right? This will make me feel like I am being piao by you......

However, he couldn't admit it in front of the beauties, so Xia Ruofei quickly said with a wicked smile: "If you can unlock more postures, you will definitely be more knowledgeable......

Monica's charming blue eyes became even more misty, and she giggled and said, "Then it depends on your ability!"

At this time, the guest on the seat next to Monica also sat down under the guidance of the staff, and the two immediately stopped this charming topic and began to talk about the auction seriously.

At 9:30 a.m., the auction officially began.

This time, Feng Jing specially revised the arrangement, she did not go on stage at the opening, and Dong Jiajun, the manager of Hengfeng Auction House, took her place.

Xia Ruofei flipped through the process of the auction, and Feng Jing only had a simple speech after the auction ended.

She really didn't want to show up, but she didn't have the ability to refuse Xia Ruofei's rogue apportionment, and in the end, such an arrangement was the product of compromise.

After Dong Jiajun came to the stage, he did not speak at length, but enthusiastically introduced the situation of the lots, expressed his gratitude to all the guests and guests who were present to support today, and then invited Lu Zhongguang, the gold medal auctioneer of Hengfeng Auction House.

There were 38 white truffles and 19 black truffles participating in the auction.

The largest of them is 2.75 kg for white truffles and 2.66 kg for black truffles.

There are 6 pieces of white truffles of more than 2 kilograms, 3 pieces of black truffles, 15 pieces of white truffles and 7 pieces of black truffles between 1 and 2 kilograms, and the remaining 16 pieces of white truffles and 8 pieces of black truffles have at least 8 or 900 grams.

It can be said that the truffles in this auction, even if they are relatively the worst, can be regarded as the best when taken out.

The first to be auctioned are white truffles under one kilogram and black truffles.

Eight black truffles were unveiled first.

About half of the buyers in this auction are from Europe and the United States, so the auction is settled in the US dollar, the common currency.

These 8 pieces of black truffles were auctioned one by one, and the transaction price of these 8 pieces of black truffles, with an average weight of 8 or 900 grams, basically reached more than 4,000 US dollars, and the 8 pieces of black truffles brought Xia Ruofei a total of 35,000 US dollars.

The price of white truffles is significantly more expensive.

The same weight of white truffles is already more precious than black truffles, and this year's white truffle harvest is the worst in recent years, which objectively leads to a rise in prices.

The starting price of 16 white truffles was $10,000, and the lightest piece reached 882 grams, and this piece of truffle sold for a high price of $65,000, and none of the next 15 pieces were below this price.

In the end, the total transaction price of these 16 white truffles reached $1.129 million.

This can only be regarded as a warm-up auction - all the good things are still to come! Even so, Xia Ruofei has already earned 1.164 million US dollars.

Basically, the bidders who participated in the auction were buyers from ordinary areas, although this batch of truffles would definitely be the best if they were placed on other occasions, but in today's auction, it was only the lowest grade, and there were more and bigger truffles that did not appear, and those guests who were specially invited to participate in the auction basically did not make a move at this time.

People with status still have to be reserved.

And Blake, who was sitting in the ordinary area, also had a disdainful smile on his face, and did not participate in the competition for this batch of truffles.

After the auction of truffles under one kilogram was completed, Lu Zhongguang immediately announced the start of the auction of the second batch of truffles.

There are too many top-quality truffles in this auction, and now Taoyuan's reputation has also been played, and it can be regarded as a brand guarantee, so Lu Zhongguang rarely sells off, and the whole auction is very compact.

The remaining 11 black truffles are all scheduled for auction in this batch.

Among them, 7 pieces between 1 and 2 kilograms, more than 2 kilograms, including the largest piece of 2.66 kilograms, a total of 4 pieces.

The price of black truffles has always been much lower than that of white truffles, and even when the production has plummeted this year, the transaction price of black truffles is much lower than that of white truffles.

Seven pieces of black truffles of 1 to 2 kilograms fetched a total of $380,000.

Four pieces of black truffles of more than 2 kilograms brought a total of 730,000 US dollars to Xia Ruofei, of which the 2.66 kilograms of black truffles were auctioned for 200,000 US dollars, which is far more than the current unit price of black truffles.

Of course, the black truffle, which breaks the world record for its monomer weight, is certainly not priced at the market price because of its scarcity.

Then only the auction of white truffles remained, and the rich and celebrities who had been lacking interest before also sat up straight and began to show serious expressions.

And although Blake still pretended not to care, the gaze he cast on the stage from time to time revealed his inner thoughts.

First on the auction table were 15 pieces of white truffles between 1 and 2 kilograms, all of which were priced at $100,000.

As soon as the first white truffle, weighing 1.12 kilograms, was auctioned, everyone bid enthusiastically, and soon the price came to 210,000 US dollars.

This is basically close to the limit price in previous years, but this year, the harvest is not very good, so the price is likely to go higher.

Chefs from two Michelin-starred restaurants were bidding, and even after the price reached $210,000, the two were still weighing what to do.

After all, after such a piece of white truffle is brought back to the restaurant, it will definitely bring a considerable advertising effect, and it will definitely not lose money by dividing the retail in the restaurant.

At this moment, a lazy voice said, "250,000 dollars!"

This voice came from an ordinary seat, and Lu Zhongguang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, but his professionalism made him almost subconsciously follow the prestige, and then accurately quoted the price: "Mr. No. 184 bid 250,000 US dollars!"

The person holding the 184th auction card was none other than Blake.

Blake's offer is a bit unreasonable, the price is already close to the ceiling, but he suddenly added $40,000, making it clear that it is inevitable.

After he finished quoting the price, he glanced at Xia Ruofei, and of course he didn't forget to sneak a glance at Monica, but unfortunately Monica didn't have any change in expression at all.

As soon as this offer came out, the previous competitors gave up.

Although there are a lot of rich people in this, but none of them are wronged, and there are more than a dozen white truffles waiting to be auctioned later, and there will be a heavier finale in the future.

Ma Xiong, who was sitting in the middle of the first row, looked a little ugly, but there was nothing he could do, Blake came all the way uninvited, and he was definitely going to sell at the auction, and he couldn't stop this.

Ma Xiong was worried that Xia Ruofei would be awkward in his heart.

Lu Zhongguang saw that none of the buyers present seemed to have any intention of bidding, so he said without much hesitation: "Is there anyone else who wants to offer a higher price? $250,000 for the first time, $250,000 for the second time, $250,000 for the third ......."

Just as Lu Zhongguang raised the auction hammer as he spoke, a faint voice came from the audience: "300,000 US dollars!"
