Chapter 20 One Billion Gambling
The next morning, Xiao Wei rushed to the set as usual, and Su Yang, who wanted to go to school to see her, received a call from Xu Tianyang.
"Boss, do you have time this afternoon?"
"What's wrong? Are you in trouble?" Su Yang still took great care of this old subordinate who was nearly a hundred years old.
"This afternoon, there was an autumn auction in Yubaozhai. They sent me a preview of the lot in advance, and there seemed to be something that the boss was interested in."
"Things that I'm interested in." Su Yang paused, and he was already clear.
When he was in Shanghai in his last life, he liked to buy some strange small jade items, including street stalls and priceless antiques. Xu Tianyang knew about these.
Of course, what Xu Tianyang didn't know was that the reason why Su Yang had this hobby was because he developed a magic technique based on the secret magic technique of the Demon Sect and the "Nine Changes of the Sky".
This magic can inject the vitality contained in the true energy of the sky into a spiritual jade piece. Although the probability of success depends on the spiritual strength of the jade piece, once successful, this jade piece is a priceless treasure that can save lives in times of crisis.
For example, if you are seriously injured, the vitality in the spiritual jade will be released to save people. For example, if you are attacked by someone, the spiritual jade will protect the master and break, and burst out with a powerful true energy to resist the fatal blow.
Several finished products from that year were given to the people around him by Su Yang, and he did save people with this, which made him lose many regrets.
The only remaining spiritual jade is Su Yang took out the jade pendant from the Huaqi Bank, and there is no more.

1c Tianyang, do you mean there is a good jade auction there?"
"That's right, there are 120 items in this autumn auction, including more than ten small jade items. I thought that the boss might be interested, so I called you to tell you."
"The auction sounds interesting."
Su Yang nodded and said, "That's it, you come and pick me up at that time. Let's go together to see if there is any good product."
In the afternoon, Xu Tianyang took Su Yang and soon arrived at the headquarters of Yubaozhai.
Speaking of Yubaozhai, this auction agency has only been around for more than ten years, but it has already gained a high reputation in the world.
Unlike the two most well-known auction houses in the world, global chain auction houses such as Sotheby's and Christie's, Yubaozhai is not targeted at a wide range of people, and only auction houses have been set up in Shanghai and London, England.
If you want to participate in the autumn auction of Yubaozhai, you must be their member first. The most basic condition for becoming a member is that your net worth is over 100 million yuan. In addition, when applying for a membership, you must also undergo a series of verifications and pay a membership fee of up to 300,000 US dollars per year.
Even so, wealthy and powerful people who want to become members of Yubaozhai are flocking to them. Many times, they may not necessarily buy things, but to join this global top circle and gilt themselves.
Of course, the things that Yu Baozhai auctions are indeed exciting. Here, many objects that you have only heard of in rumors or have been lost in the long river of history are often seen.
More importantly, Yu Baozhai’s backend is strong enough. Even the main leaders of a super-large municipality like Shanghai will show enough respect when they meet the boss of Yu Baozhai, which shows that.
Another unique feature is that every auction at Yubaozhai requires the participants to send a piece of their own products on the spot, and the person who sends the goods on the spot will be exempted from the handling fee and will be given the qualification of a lifetime membership.
To a certain extent, this strange rule is also a major factor in the success of Yubaozhai. Because of this rule, many times people send photos not only for money, but also gain popularity among the world's rich and powerful circles.
Moreover, being able to become a lifelong member of Yu Baozhai is a great political capital and glory for the upper class. Even the powerful and wealthy people with a net worth of hundreds of billions are quite enthusiastic about this.
Every year, each session holds an auction. Until now, Yubaozhai has been established for 14 years, with a total of 28 lifetime members, all of which are world-renowned wealthy and powerful.
After all, there are too many rich and powerful people who are willing to win this honor, and do not have enough foundation and capital. It is nothing more than a fool to take out the highest-priced auction.
Xu Tianyang only obtained the qualification of a lifetime membership four years ago. After the "Fuchun Mountain Residence" he sent for was confirmed as the original, it was finally sold at a sky-high price of 260 million US dollars. In previous Yubaozhai auctions, its transaction price was ranked among the top ten.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Tianyang was able to lead Su Yang, who was not a member, to participate in the auction, and the lifelong membership has an additional quota for participating in the auction.
At about 2:00 pm, the autumn auction is about to begin. There are only a hundred people participating in the auction, from all over the world. Some are quite familiar with each other, and even some family members at the peak of world wealth and power also attended in person.
In addition, after the auction began, more than 1,200 Yubaozhai members around the world, even if they did not come to the scene, could watch the entire auction through Yubaozhai’s private satellite in real time, and participate in the auction through an encrypted dedicated line.
Xu Tianyang knew that his boss didn't like to deal with messy people, so he sat down in a corner of the auction, which was not very noticeable.
But the more I don’t want to attract attention, the more people will post it without any worries, and they are people who don’t deal with Xu Tianyang very much.
"Mr. Xu, I waited for you for a long time last year, but you didn't come to take the photo. It's very disappointing!" The visitor was a fat man with a slightly fat figure and narrowed eyes. Judging from his tone, he obviously had some old grudges with Xu Tianyang.
"Fortunately, I met this time. I wonder if Mr. Xu is interested in betting on a bet with me?

”
It turned out that when Xu Tianyang sent a photo of "Fuchun Mountain Residence" four years ago, this person also sent a rare treasure. He thought that the highest transaction price of the auction was definitely his, but Xu Tianyang suddenly emerged and robbed him of his life-long membership that he thought he would win, but he still resented.
"Boss, if you don't want him to make noise, I'll beat him to death." In front of Su Yang, Xu Tianyang completely returned to the feeling of following him back then, and sent a message to Su Yang.
Looking at the old subordinate who was nearly a hundred years old beside him, Su Yang smiled and sent a message: "Tianyang, when did you become so violent? I really didn't expect that your hair and beard will turn white. Your fighting and killing spirit will not decrease in the past."
Xu Tianyang briefly informed Su Yang of the other party and himself, which instead aroused Su Yang's interest.
"It sounds quite fun. Do you see this guy is going to hit the highest transaction price at this auction?"
"This fat man yellow should be worth hundreds of billions, but his family industry is in northern China. Among the older generation, there is a real power figure like a northern emperor. He has always been above the top. After I won a lifetime membership a few years ago, he has caused me a lot of trouble, and he is too lazy to care about him."
"I think he is bound to win this year, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to show off his power with me."
"Bet with him."
Su Yang doesn't stand the arrogant people in front of him the most. Even if it is not for him or for the people around him, he cannot tolerate it.
"Boss, I have no preparation this time. If I want to get the highest transaction price in the whole game, I will not be able to produce such a lot for a while." Xu Tianyang said in a difficult face.
"You don't need to take it, I have it."
Su Yang smiled confidently and quickly explained a few words with the message of the message. Xu Tianyang was stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head to Fatty Huang on the side and said, "It seems that Mr. Huang is bringing good things this year, but I, Xu, have never been afraid of people asking for gambles. Since that's the case, we might as well bet bigger."
Fatty Huang didn't expect that Xu Tianyang, who had already obtained a lifetime membership, would agree. He had absolute confidence in the items he brought. Thinking of the failure four years ago, he also said proudly: "It's rare that Mr. Xu is so interested. What do you want to bet?"
"Who has the higher transaction price of the items you and I have to bet on."
"How about winning?"
"No need to do it, one billion US dollars." Xu Tianyang, who had already received a private gift from Su Yang, said calmly.
"Billion US dollars?!"
Fatty Huang said in surprise, realizing his loss of composure. He cannot blame him. Although his net worth is nearly 100 billion, as the helmsman of the family business, such huge funds are not something he can lose with just a mouthful.
But now it is already difficult to get rid of the tiger. Fatty Huang took a deep breath and nodded expressionlessly and said, "Since Mr. Xu is so confident, Mr. Huang will accompany him."
After the two made a bet, they called the on-site lawyer in the auction hall. In less than ten minutes, a tripartite agreement was signed. As the notary party, the bet was also learned by the senior management of Yubaozhai at the first time.
As a businessman, the senior executives of Yubaozhai immediately realized that this was an excellent opportunity to hype. In a very short time, private satellites sent to live broadcasts around the world to forward the emergencies, which also attracted the attention of wealthy people all over the world.
In Dubai, UAE, in the long-packed presidential suite on the 25th floor of the Sailing Hotel, Saudi Prince Alhad focused on a line of Chinese and English translations to broadcast information. He drank the glass of red wine in one sip and called the servant and ordered: "Cancel the afternoon trip."
"Why is the value of a bet worth a billion US dollars? Isn't the value of the lot more expensive? I'm really looking forward to it."
In the United States, on a private plane of the Rockefeller family, a man in his fifties looked at the screen in front of him with interest and murmured: "It seems that this will be a autumn auction where surprises will be born."
On the top floor of the headquarters building of Sumitomo chaebol in Japan, Sumitomo Hideda frowned for a while. Although the bet of a billion-dollar dollar aroused his interest, he was more concerned about the lots in the hands of the two of them.
In Frankfurt, in the Rothschild family's old castle, the Yasin-Rothschild family stared at the monitor in a hurry, and excitedly called out his sister Lin, who also had a collection hobby with him, and participated in this autumn auction, which was originally just a quick look.
