145: Cao Lang booked the entire venue!

Soon, the venue quieted down.

Since they didn't get the first item, they focused entirely on the next one.

The female magnates had high psychological resilience; they wouldn't dwell too much on what they had lost.

This little interlude soon passed!

It was said there were dozens of jewelry items today, with many options to choose from!

"No need to worry if you didn't win the heart of egypt, because the second piece of jewelry is the long-lost heart of the ocean!!"

"However, let me clarify beforehand: this heart of the ocean is not the one from the movie 'Titanic.' But this heart of the ocean is ten carats larger than that one! It's crafted from a high-purity natural sapphire! It can be said that the blue comes from indigo but is even bluer, truly surpassing the original!"

"The heart of egypt symbolizes power, while the heart of the ocean symbolizes pure love. So, gentlemen, if there's a lady you like, you can bid for it and give it to your beloved."

"Starting bid: 100 million yuan!"

Cao Lang was looking for a way to spend money, and here was the perfect opportunity.

Xingyao Media had been extremely popular lately. Li Na often worked all night, and Cao Lang hadn't spent time with her for a long time. This woman worked like her life depended on it.

Cao Lang immediately decided to give this heart of the ocean to Li Na!

"110 million!"

Qin Cheng was still the first to call out.

Last time, Cao Lang stole all the spotlight; surely his cash flow must be tight now!!

This time, he was determined to win!

Movie Queen Yang Mi was sitting right next to him. Buying it would be a chance to show off his strength! If he could win her over, it wouldn't matter if he let her wear it! Achieving deep cooperation and making a few movies would easily earn billions!

After all, he had been lusting after Sister Mi's body for a long time!

Sister Mi's influence was not something those little stars who just debuted could compare to!

Qin Cheng was calculating things clearly in his mind.

He had watched that 'Where's my husband?' video many times. Unfortunately, since then, Sister Mi had been extremely guarded, and his many attempts to get closer had failed.

What you can't get is always the best. A fully ripe, juicy mature woman whose status and position were top-tier in the industry—such a woman naturally exuded a unique charm.

Now that Yang Mi was sitting right next to him, his heart was itching.

"130 million!"

"150 million!"

Several tech giants also joined the competition. The founder of ByteDance, wearing a plaid shirt, raised his paddle to bid.

"200 million!"

Qin Cheng immediately raised the price, trying to copy Cao Lang by jacking up the price significantly to scare off opponents.

"210 million!"

The tycoon in seat number 2 was a real estate mogul. Experienced and steady, he immediately followed the price!

He had recently followed the examples of his predecessors and formed a song and dance troupe. The lead dancer was incredibly beautiful, and her 'Dundun Dance' had danced right into his heart, leaving him completely infatuated!

So he wanted to buy this heart of the ocean for his beloved troupe leader. Dancing with such an expensive necklace would surely make her even more enchanting.

The Dundun Dance was also called the 'Eighteen Life-Taking Squats.' It was said to have squatted 1.2 billion out of Mr. Ma from the internet industry.

One could see how lethal it was!

Furthermore, this tycoon in seat 2 had already cashed out and left when the real estate market began to decline!

His cash flow was likely the highest present! Few people dared to challenge him!

This was a true tycoon!

"220 million!"

Qin Cheng felt the pressure, but he gritted his teeth and continued to follow!!!

His psychological limit was 300 million. If it exceeded that, he would retreat!

Yang Mi gave Qin Cheng a slight smile, giving him more motivation. No one should be able to bid 300 million, right?

At this moment, Cao Lang calmly raised his paddle: "400 million!"

As soon as he said this, the whole venue was shocked!!

Holy crap!!!

You just bought the heart of egypt for 400 million!

Now you're bidding 400 million for the heart of the ocean!!!

We know you're rich, but by raising the price so high, how are we supposed to buy anything!

The tycoon in seat 2 looked back at Cao Lang with some curiosity, as if saying, "Young man, you've got some strength!"

Yang Mi also turned her swan-like neck, focusing all her attention on Cao Lang.

Not just Yang Mi!

Tian Xiwei and Zhou Ye also swallowed hard in surprise.

There were many other female stars present!

Yu Shuxin, Dilraba, Gulnazar, Liu Shishi, Angelababy, Li Yitong, and so on!

A group of great beauties all turned back to look, even casting friendly smiles.

He just gave a 400-million-yuan necklace to Tian Xiwei; if they got to know him, would they also have a chance... After all, Cao Lang was both handsome and rich. What woman would refuse to know a wealthy, young, and handsome capitalist?

Even top-tier female stars were no exception!

In fact, ordinary women wouldn't dare approach Cao Lang, as they'd feel somewhat inferior, but these female stars were different. They were fully qualified to marry into a wealthy family!

"500 million!"

The tycoon in seat 2 was wealthy and overbearing, choosing to continue following. This also drew many side-glances!

It was a clash of titans, adding 100 million at a time!

"600 million."

Cao Lang's voice remained calm.

"700 million!"

Men are boys until they die.

Although he was no longer young, he still had a competitive spirit in his bones.

"800 million."

Cao Lang yawned and casually raised his paddle.

That voice was so indifferent, as if he were buying a head of cabbage at a wet market!

Shock!

Petrified!

Terrifyingly powerful!

800 million! If this deal went through, it would definitely break Bvlgari's transaction price record for the next hundred years!

Karrina's eyes shone with a light of pleasant surprise!

Tonight's auction had completely exceeded her expectations!

It could be called an unprecedented success!

The sales amount of just these two gems was enough to secure her position as CEO of the Greater China region for another five years!

The tycoon in seat 2 laughed and muttered to himself: "The younger generation is to be feared! It's been a long time since I've had such a hearty bidding war!"

The tycoon in seat 1 also patted the shoulder of the tycoon in seat 2 and laughed: "Haha, old brother, the world belongs to the young people now."

Qin Cheng listened from the side, feeling bitter.

These two were the richest people here tonight, and even they couldn't outbid Cao Lang.

Cao Lang had stolen all the limelight!

Seeing this, Zhao Liying hurriedly called the price: "800 million once."

"800 million twice!"

"800 million three times!"

"Sold!!! Congratulations to Mr. Cao, bidder number 666, for winning the heart of the ocean at the sky-high price of 800 million! Thank you for your significant contribution to charity! The children in impoverished mountain areas will thank you!"

Cao Lang nodded slightly, his expression suggesting he had only spent a negligible amount of petty cash.

The third item was a bracelet, starting at 50 million! Cao Lang took it for 200 million!

The fourth item was a ring, starting at 20 million, and Cao Lang took it for 150 million!

The fifth, sixth, seventh, all the way to the tenth—Cao Lang bought them all!

Cao Lang intended to give one to each of the targets bound to his system.

Li Na, Jiang Mengyuan, Liu Qingqin, Chen Yongqiu, Ye Wanqing, Wang Tangtang, Su Wei, Liu Xinyu, Xue Ziqi, and Xu Yizhen—exactly ten people.

Everyone present was now numb... especially Qin Cheng, who felt an inexplicable surge of rage in his heart!

Damn it, you did all the showing off. I came to the auction and didn't buy a single thing, only to watch you show off big time!

Did I come here just to get angry?

Qin Cheng decided that even if he couldn't win face, he had to win out of spite; he would take the next piece of jewelry no matter what!
