When I Saw The Returns, I Invested In My Future Wife First Chapter 353

353 The First Auction, The Worst Moment To Raise The Price
“You're so direct, I don't even know how to answer you.” Chairman Xiong shook his head with a bitter smile.

Was he unable to keep up with the times? Why was it that he was getting more and more confused about the thoughts of young people? He practically had all his motives written on his face and did not even bother to hide them.

“We're not outsiders. Why should Chairman Xiong and I hide it?” Luo Feng revealed a sincere smile.

Chairman Xiong was used to pretending to be someone else. Now that he had met such a straightforward person, he did not know how to deal with it.

He stared at Luo Feng's harmless face for a while before sneering. “I think you already have an idea. Are you asking for my opinion?”

“This isn't my first time here. I'm asking you if this is appropriate,” Luo Feng said.

“Of course. As long as you're strong enough, even if you bring people to smash the venue, the organizers will praise you for doing a good job,” Chairman Xiong said. “After all, our industry is so pragmatic.”

“Thank you for your guidance, Chairman Xiong.” Luo Feng smiled.

Xiao Chun and Tang Jin, who were sitting at the back, were confused.

“Do you know what the boss wants to do?” Xiao Chun asked Tang Jin.

“I don't know, but from what Chairman Xiong said, he seems to be asking the boss to destroy the venue,” Tang Jin replied foolishly.

If he remembered correctly, Luo Feng had brought the two of them here this time because firstly, he wanted them to see the world. Secondly, he wanted them to promote the company and increase their reputation. Thirdly, he wanted to collaborate with the trainees' variety show that was being prepared.

These three points had already been made clear to the guests during the refreshments just now. Many people immediately expressed their intention to cooperate.

According to their simple minds, as long as they sat until the end of the gala or bought one or two auction items back as souvenirs, tonight's mission would be completed.

Luo Feng did not think so.

His innovative artist company was a small company that had been established for less than a year. It was much worse than Morris. So many people had expressed their willingness to cooperate just now. It was hard to guarantee that it was not just empty words.

In addition, Morris had already treated the Innovative Artist as a thorn in his side. In the future, if there were isolated incidents like invitations, Luo Feng would not have the time to deal with these small matters one by one.

He had to show his true strength to let these people reevaluate the value of both sides.

As for the performance method, the simpler and more direct the method, the more effective it was.

Money!

He wanted everyone present to see what kind of person the Innovative Artist's boss was.

“Take it.” Luo Feng handed the number plate to Xiao Chun. “You can call for it later.”

Xiaochun held the sign in fear and trepidation. “Why?”

Luo Feng smiled and did not answer directly.

Why?

Of course, it was because of the profits!

If he was the one who called the number, then this money would be considered a pastime that he had spent for nothing. It could not be considered an investment in the company. However, if it was Xiaochun who called it out, it would be different.

She was an employee of the Innovative Artist Company. When she worked for the company, the money would also be transferred from the company's accounts, and the cashback would enter Luo Feng's pocket.

“I'll give you a chance to train and show your face in front of everyone,” Luo Feng said vaguely.

Xiaochun held the number plate and began to breathe.

The light wooden token in his hand was comparable to a tiger talisman! Moreover, it was a tiger talisman that could command money.

“I… I, I, I… Can I really do it?” Xiao Chun stuttered as she asked Tang Jin for help. “I, I, I, I can't control my hand. Xiao Jin, help me hold it, hold it!”

“I… I don't dare either…” The two girls were at a loss as to what to do with this sign, as if they were facing a baby whose neck had yet to grow stiff.

Chairman Xiong looked at the nervous and flustered duo, then at the calm Luo Feng.
Another question mark popped up in her head. “And why is that?”

He realized that his attention was completely focused on Luo Feng. He had been investigating what this person wanted to do.

Studying people's hearts was a compulsory path for qualified vendors. When Chairman Xiong was young, he liked to find a random shop and sit at the door to observe the customers who entered. Through their appearance, clothes, and expressions, he pondered their needs.

It was also this ability to see through people's hearts that made his business path much smoother.

However, the first time he saw Luo Feng, he could not understand this young man. It was the same when they met again.

“We're sitting so close this time. I have to take a good look at what you're up to,” Chairman Xiong thought to himself as he watched Luo Feng's every move from the corner of his eye.

After the long opening speech, the auction officially began.

The host made way for the center of the stage, and the elegant hostess pushed up the first auction item—the golden bracelet.

“The first auction item was donated by our famous Kunqu artist, Madam Zuo Nian. It's a pure gold bracelet that symbolizes the auspiciousness of dragons and phoenixes. This bracelet's background is not small. It has accompanied Madam Zuo Nian through the stage for 40 years. Now, Madam Zuo Nian hopes that it can achieve a more meaningful value. The starting price is 100,000 yuan! 100 bids.”

As soon as the host finished announcing, someone immediately raised his card. “150,000!”

Everyone looked back and the lights followed. A white-haired old man was smiling as he raised his number plate.

“This seems to be Madam Zuo Nian's die-hard fan. Every year, Madam Zuo Nian will donate something to charity sales. No matter what costume she has worn for more than 10 years, this person will film it back,” Chairman Xiong explained.

“You can find out about this too?” Luo Feng thought that he was completely uninterested in the entertainment industry.

“My mother also likes to listen to Teacher Zuo Nian's plays,” Chairman Xiong said calmly.

Luo Feng nodded. He was already so old, yet he still had the money to chase after celebrities. He did not miss any auctions. It seemed that this auctioneer had a powerful background.

Thinking of this, Luo Feng turned around and looked. The old man's eyes were smiling into slits. Occasionally, he would nod at his surroundings and thank someone.

In the end, the most important thing here was the way of the world.

There were not many rules in the Star Gathering Party's auction segment because most of the people who could sit here understood when to perform and when not to perform. It looked like there were no restrictions, but it was actually very easy to unintentionally offend people.

Luo Feng retracted his gaze. He could not participate in the first round of the auction.

After all, she was a true fan. How could she snatch someone else's love?

“200,000 yuan!” A familiar voice rang out in the venue.

Luo Feng was stunned. He turned around and saw Tang Jin calmly holding up a sign.

This… He had just said pass, but he snatched it away?

When Tang Jin saw Luo Feng looking at her, she grinned. “Sister Xiaochun, I'm sorry. I'll help her raise the first sign. Boss, don't worry. We'll definitely complete the mission you gave us perfectly!”

She did not know what Luo Feng wanted to do, but since he had already said that he would raise the sign, he had to raise it high!

Luo Feng's usual indulgence and protectiveness made Tang Jin bolder and bolder. He raised the bid to 200,000 yuan!

We Innovative Artists are not lacking money after all!
