I'm reborn and I'm an international student again?

"Eight hundred thousand!"

"one million!"

"Young people today really don't understand. One million yuan is enough to buy 30 pairs of shoes, and each pair costs more than 30,000 yuan. And these are rubber products. How much are the real leather shoes on my feet? They don't understand the value of things at all."

"There is nothing we can do. Times are changing and consumer attitudes are also changing. Look at those brand-name bags, luxury goods like Aix-en-Provence, LU, and Chanel. Their bags are all made of artificial leather. They are expensive because of the brand. Merchants use brand awareness and customer loyalty to reap profits."

"Don't think I'm old-fashioned. I understand this! But I recognize the logos on those shoes. They're Nike and A-Di. These shoes only cost a few hundred to a thousand yuan. I've worn them. You want me to spend more than 30,000 yuan on them. I won't be taken advantage of."

"One million and four hundred thousand!"

"It's not more than 30,000 now, it's going to be 50,000 a pair soon."

While a few people were still discussing, the price of the sneakers had already been raised to 1.4 million.

The latest bidder is the same girl as before.

This made other people look at her. Why would a girl buy thirty pairs of men's shoes?
The shoe size isn't right!
Is there something hidden inside?
If you can hide things in boxes, why can’t you hide things in shoes?

"Two million!" Suddenly someone raised the price to six hundred thousand, causing everyone to turn their heads away.

I saw the handsome guy who was late before, sitting with his legs crossed and waving a sign in his hand.

He noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and smiled with satisfaction.

"Two million and one hundred thousand!" The girl bid again, drawing everyone's attention back.

"Two million and one hundred thousand!" The handsome guy raised his hand again in dissatisfaction.

"Two million, one hundred and eleven thousand!"

"Are you kidding me? You raise the price by ten thousand every time. Are you trying to be hard on me? Two and a half million!" The handsome guy glared at the girl and started bidding crazily again.

"Two million five hundred and ten thousand!"

"Three million!" The handsome guy couldn't bear it anymore and stood up from his seat.

"Sir, please calm down." The staff member came to him and gestured for him to sit down with a smile.

The bid this time was still very high, and the girl did not shout again. The man bought all thirty pairs of sneakers.

"Wow, a pair of shoes costing one hundred thousand yuan, I'm really losing money." A wealthy woman exclaimed.

"It's not a big deal, we usually spend hundreds of thousands to buy a bag, so just think of it as buying a few bags~"

"How can they be the same? When you carry a bag outside, everyone will look at it, and it can be used for a long time. As for these shoes... no one will keep staring at your feet."

"The next items to be auctioned are a few IOUs! Plus a few badges, dating back to the Republic of China period... the starting price is 20,000!" While a few wealthy ladies were still chatting, the host pointed to a small black box brought up by the staff and said.

I'm coming!
It should be this box.

Chen Xi, who was originally daydreaming, suddenly became alert.

This is an IOU... and a badge... What the hell?

If you buy an IOU from the Republic of China, can you still ask someone to pay you back?

No wonder the starting price is only 20,000.

"What the hell...is this box an antique?" someone asked.

"The material of this box is ordinary, not a famous wood!" the host responded with a smile.

"Twenty thousand!" Just when no one made a bid, Tan Guang, who had been sitting there without raising his hand for a long time, suddenly shouted.

"What I want is jewelry. Are you buying me a badge?" Zhang Lili next to him stared at him with wide eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense and get down to business!" Tan Guang waved his hands at her impatiently, as if to drive away a fly.

"Hmph~ Anyway, I must have something today." Zhang Lili's words did not get any response from the other party.

"Twenty-one thousand!" The girl sitting far away would raise the price by ten thousand every time, and she would always go against the young people present, which made everyone else very unhappy.

"Thirty thousand!" This time it was the young man with glasses who shouted.

"forty thousand!"

"Forty-five thousand!"

Then two more young men raised their hands.

Damn, so many people are fighting for it!

Chen Xi looked behind him. There were so many people that he couldn't see who made the offer.

"fifty thousand!"

"Seventy thousand!"

"..."

"One hundred and eighty thousand!"

"Hey, I really don't understand why young people nowadays like worthless things like sneakers, as well as IOUs and badges. Oh, it seems I am getting old."

"They don't think this IOU can be redeemed, do they? The debtor is probably dead now. Are they going to ask their descendants for the money? That's unrealistic, and it won't have any legal effect."

"I just heard from the host that the amount on this IOU seems to be very large. After so many years, which fool would still keep his promise? If it were me, I would definitely not pay it back."

"The IOU contains gold, beautiful coins, enamel, dollars, antibiotics and other medicines... If you calculate it, according to today's money, I don't know how many hundreds of millions it is. And I have never heard of the debtor. He should be an entrepreneur from the Republic of China period. He might have been very famous in that era..."

Several bosses were discussing with great interest, arms folded.

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and one thousand!"

Chen Xi sat there, observing the people who made bids.

The man who was with Zhang Lili had never taken any photos before, but he was suddenly interested in several IOUs. This was definitely not normal.

The girl was obviously raising the price on purpose, and she was targeting those young people. The problem is, weren't they sitting together in the hotel restaurant?

The handsome guy didn't seem to be interested in the item. He just sat there with his arms folded, but his eyes were looking elsewhere.

Hmm, it seems like I'm looking at those rich ladies over there...

As for the man with glasses, he was hesitant every time he made a bid, seeming a little lacking in confidence.

The other few people were just like Dasha, raising the price desperately, with no rules at all.

Chen Xi blinked at Zhao Lingshan, who nodded and suddenly grabbed his arm and said, "Honey, I think that box is good. My puppy just died and I want to get a new urn for it!"

Damn, can you make up another one...

Chen Xi was amused by Zhao Lingshan's words, saying that a jewelry box is better than an urn.

"Baby, you are so loving. Your husband will definitely win you the prize!" Chen Xi kissed Zhao Lingshan on the forehead, raised his hand and shouted, "Five hundred thousand! Don't fight with me for the urn!"

"Pfft~" The girl who made the bid earlier laughed out loud when she heard this.

"Hahaha." Everyone else in the venue started laughing.

"It's so unlucky that I have to fight with others for an urn for hundreds of thousands of dollars." A boss shook his head helplessly.

Tan Guang's face looked a little unhappy at this time. The box was already being scrambled for by a group of people, and now a silly guy jumped out and offered a high price. The most outrageous thing was that he actually wanted to buy the box to give the dog a home.

"Let's just forget it. I think it's that Zhao Lingshan who is deliberately doing this. She saw that we had also bid, so she wanted to make trouble. She raised the price too high and wanted to cheat us!" Zhang Lili grabbed Tan Guang's hand which was about to be raised again.

Although she was not very smart, she did not want Zhao Lingshan to let her down. Otherwise, it would be extremely embarrassing if the news got out.

"What do you know! Four hundred thousand!" Tan Guang's face was gloomy. He shook off Zhang Lili's hand and then raised the price by 90,000.

"Good intentions don't go unrewarded, I don't care about you anymore." Zhang Lili touched the back of her hand in pain. "Four hundred and fifty thousand!" The young man with glasses followed closely behind.

"Five hundred thousand!" Chen Xi stretched out his hand.

For a while, the atmosphere on the field was full of gunpowder.

Soon, the price was raised to one million.

Sun Chen stood in the distance, coughing constantly, trying to remind Chen Xi, but the other party didn't even look at him.

"Damn it, a fool shows up out of nowhere. One million and two hundred thousand!" Tan Guang cursed and attacked again.

Haha, he is not stupid. Even Yang Dan was fooled by him.

I told you not to listen to me.

Zhang Lili sat there, staring at Tan Guang and sneering in her heart.

"One million and five hundred thousand!" Chen Xi slowly raised his hand.

Anyway, the final money from the auction would be reimbursed by Ma Yueling, so he didn't care at all.

He was thinking about something else now.

"Hey, you want to compare with me in terms of handsomeness and wealth? Two million!" The handsome guy sitting in the distance was not willing to be outdone.

"Two million and one hundred thousand!" The girl looked at them and raised the corner of her mouth.

"Two million and one hundred thousand!" The young man with glasses looked very unhappy.

The other young men had already given up bargaining.

Now there are only five people on the field trying to grab the box.

Lao Chen’s shabby paintings can be sold for millions, so I don’t believe that the value of this box can be lower than those two shabby paintings.

"Two and a half million!" Chen Xi was too lazy to raise his hand and asked Zhao Lingshan to bid directly.

This was the first time that Zhao Lingshan personally bid at an auction like this, and she had a lot of fun.

After half an hour of scramble, the price of the box was called up to eight million.

"Fuck, you spent eight million to buy a broken box and take it home to bury your dog. What's the point? Why don't I give you one million so you can go back and buy a good grave?" Tan Guang couldn't help but pointed at Chen Xi and asked.

"I like it! I bought the box to use as an urn. Why did you spend so much money? Is this box a treasure?"

"I...I...I bought it to store cigars for my dad."

"Hahaha."

"Two fools."

Tan Guang and Chen Xi's words made everyone laugh.

However, not everyone present believed their words. The box was priced so high and five people made bids. There must be something fishy going on.

However, the exact value is unknown, and no one would take the risk to buy it at a high price.

"Stop arguing. I'll give you nine million and buy it to use as an ashtray!" Just as the two were arguing, the handsome guy in the distance suddenly said something.

"TM... 10 million!" Tan Guang was too lazy to talk nonsense and directly offered 10 million. This was also the highest price he could offer because he needed to bid for another item.

"Eleven million!" The young man raised the sign again. "When he saw that Tan Guang didn't respond for a long time, he began to mock him, "Don't act so arrogant if you don't have money! Okay, this box is mine."

"Twelve million!" Chen Xi slowly stretched out his hand.

After their eyes met for more than ten seconds, the handsome guy suddenly shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you!"

He saw from Chen Xi's eyes that the other party was determined to win.

"Okay, congratulations to this gentleman for winning this item." After asking a round of questions, the host rang the hammer.

"Twelve million to buy a broken box?" After Chen Xi sat down, Saori looked puzzled.

"It's not me who's paying, so do whatever you want!" Chen Xi grinned wickedly.

But deep down, he still wanted to help Ma Yueling save money, otherwise why would he have slowly raised the price just now? He could have just directly said 50 million.

"TMD, TMD..." When Tan Guang saw Chen Xi took pictures of the things his father asked him to do, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice.

"The next item is a batch of fine Maotai liquor... a total of 30 bottles, the reserve price is 100,000!"

Maotai liquor from this period is not very expensive, especially this kind of Maotai which is said to be a fine product but has an average age. At auctions, each bottle usually sells for a few thousand to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan.

To be honest, the starting price of these three bottles is 100,000, which is indeed a bit high.

Before Chen Xi could think about it carefully, someone started to quote: "One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred and ten thousand!"

"One hundred twenty thousand!"

There were quite a few people bidding this time, including many middle-aged people present, who all liked to drink.

Some people haven't taken a picture of anything yet, and their hands are itching to take a picture of something so that they don't go home empty-handed.

"Two hundred thousand!" Chen Xi looked around and suddenly raised his hand.

Because he found that those young men started bidding again, including Tan Guang, who had just snatched the box from him.

"Fuck, didn't you buy the box? Why are you trying to snatch the wine from me again?" Tan Guang was irritated and questioned directly.

"My dad is getting married for the second time. Can't I buy some wine to celebrate his wedding?"

"Hahaha."

"Whose landlord's stupid son is this? It makes me laugh to death."

Chen Xi's words once again caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Even the three women beside him couldn't help themselves.

"You are so cruel! Three hundred thousand! Let me see how rich you are. You just spent twelve million!" Tan Guang grinned.

"Four hundred thousand!" The handsome guy sitting in the back row also joined in.

"Fuck! Don't tell me your dad is also getting married!" Tan Guanghe looked over and started cursing again.

"No, no! It's my godmother's wedding!" The handsome young man answered, shaking his head. His expression was so mean that Tan Guang almost beat him up.

"Damn it, are you kidding me? Five hundred thousand!" Tan Guang cursed and started raising the price again.

His father asked him to bid on two items. Since the first item was gone, he could bid on the second item at will.

However, spending that much money on a few bottles of wine seems a bit of a loss...

He could understand the IOU just now, so...

"What I said is true, my godmother is really getting married..." The handsome guy waved his hands and tried his best to explain.

"Six hundred thousand!" Chen Xi no longer paid attention to Tan Guang and directly asked Saori to start bidding.

Saori also found it amusing, so she raised the sign.

At this time, Sun Chen was no longer at the scene, because Chen Xi had just bought the box for 12 million, which almost caused him to have a heart attack. Now he was sitting backstage and taking heart pills.

If he knew that Chen Xi was causing trouble again, Sun Chen would probably be dead.

Originally, it was Sun Chen who secretly let Chen Xilai into the auction without informing Chen Yifeng. How should he deal with the following matters... (End of this chapter)
