Chapter 748 Fang Yu’s Wealth!
“Master, I was wrong, I was really wrong!” Little Wind Chime kept backing away, putting on a pitiful appearance.
Fang Yu stepped forward, grabbed her head with one hand, and lifted her up entirely.
Then, he pinched the flesh of her left cheek and kneaded it hard.
Little Wind Chime couldn’t break free from Fang Yu’s grip and could only look toward Ye Shengxue behind her with pleading eyes.
Ye Shengxue could only smile apologetically; she didn’t dare stop Fang Yu.
……
At nine o’clock the next morning, Little Wind Chime brought the visiting Qin Yimo and Qin Lang to Fang Yu.
Fang Yu had just gotten up not long ago and was practicing a set of health cultivation exercises.
Since placing the Star Fruit seed at the bottom of the clear spring yesterday, the life energy throughout the mansion had become more abundant.
As a result, living here became more comfortable.
“Mr. Fang…”
At this moment, both Qin Yimo and Qin Lang widened their eyes in disbelief.
They hadn’t expected that this mansion standing in the center of North Capital, occupying thousands of acres, was truly Fang Yu’s home.
“Good morning,” Fang Yu smiled. “I haven’t had breakfast yet, so I can treat you to a meal shortly.”
“But before that, let’s take care of business first.” Fang Yu looked at Little Wind Chime and said, “Take us to the treasure tower.”
“Which building should we go to?” Little Wind Chime asked.
“It doesn’t matter, they’re all the same,” Fang Yu said.
“Alright, then I’ll choose one,” Little Wind Chime said.
After speaking, Little Wind Chime waved her right hand forward.
Everyone present, including Fang Yu and herself, disappeared together.
Meanwhile, Ye Shengxue was behind the bamboo house, preparing breakfast for Fang Yu.
The four people appeared in front of a three-story building that occupied about 400 square meters.
Little Wind Chime waved her hand, and the building’s main door opened directly.
The light from outside shone in, immediately causing a strong reflection.
Various treasures reflected different kinds of light.
“Let’s go in,” Fang Yu said as he walked forward.
Qin Yimo and Qin Lang stood frozen for several seconds. The sisters exchanged glances, their eyes full of shock, before finally stepping inside.
The first floor was like an exhibition hall, with various paintings, calligraphy works, and poems hanging on the walls.
On the ground, they could first see many statues and casually placed porcelain on shelves.
Walking further in, they could see piles of randomly scattered gems and beads emitting various colored lights, as well as boxes full of gold bars, jade pendants…
Just with a casual glance, Qin Yimo and Qin Lang felt their hearts racing and their heads throbbing.
The entire floor was full of gold, silver, and jewels!
And this was just the first floor! There were still two more floors above!
“I used to enjoy collecting these things, but now I don’t feel anything for them. It seems my mindset has aged,” Fang Yu sighed as he looked at the various treasures around him.
“Mr. F-F-Fang…” Qin Lang spoke, his voice trembling.
“You need 3 billion, right? Just take whatever you want. I’m not sure if what’s here can be exchanged for 3 billion,” Fang Yu said.
Qin Lang widened his eyes, looking at a piece of calligraphy on the wall beside him.
“Records of Western Pavilion Tour.”
This was an extremely famous calligraphy piece in the calligraphy world, created by Chen Huanzhi, the universally acknowledged greatest calligrapher.
All the versions circulating in the outside world were imitations. The original disappeared six hundred years ago after falling into the hands of the emperor of that dynasty.
If this piece on the wall was the original… it would be worth at least 800 million, or even more, up to over a billion.
“Mr. Fang, is this ‘Records of Western Pavilion Tour’… the original?” Qin Lang swallowed and asked.
“Yes, of course it’s real,” Fang Yu said. “However, I still like to appreciate things like calligraphy and paintings sometimes. If you want to take something, try to take jewelry-type items.”
“I understand, I understand…” Qin Lang wiped away the cold sweat that had formed on his forehead.
He himself was a calligraphy and painting enthusiast, and for these artworks, he felt nothing but reverence and appreciation.
Even if Fang Yu wanted to give them to him to sell, he wouldn’t accept.
“Aren’t you in a hurry? Don’t bother with sightseeing, just quickly pick some jewelry and see how much money you can get for it,” Fang Yu said.
After speaking, Fang Yu looked at Little Wind Chime and said, “Get a storage bag.”
“Oh.” Little Wind Chime raised her right hand, white light emanating from her palm, condensing into a storage bag.
She held the storage bag in front of Qin Yimo and said, “Whatever you like, put it in here… except for the calligraphy and paintings.”
Qin Yimo took the storage bag and looked at Fang Yu, her gaze filled with gratitude beyond shock.
“Thank you, Fang Yu,” Qin Yimo took a deep breath and bowed.
……
Next, Qin Yimo began her time selecting jewelry.
For a woman, even if she doesn’t particularly like jewelry, after seeing those dazzling, colorful gems, she still couldn’t help feeling excited inside.
Half an hour later, Qin Yimo had already selected over a hundred jade pendants and gems.
But at this moment, Qin Lang received a phone call, and his expression turned grim.
“Sis, Uncle Xin took those assets to the bank for collateral, but was rejected. The bank used business updates as an excuse and refused to give us cash in exchange for our assets…” Qin Lang walked behind Qin Yimo and said in a low voice.
Hearing this news, Qin Yimo’s face changed, her eyebrows tightly knitted.
Obviously, this was the Tang family interfering again.
The Tang family was using their rising power to cut off all of the Qin family’s hopes.
The Tang family wanted to isolate the Qin family completely, to make them collapse!
If the bank wouldn’t accept collateral… then having any amount of valuables would be useless.
Qin Yimo’s face turned pale as she stood frozen, not knowing what to do.
“Are there any auctions being held in North Capital recently? If so, you might want to try auctioning these jewelry and jade items. North Capital has many wealthy people, so they should all sell,” Fang Yu casually suggested from the side.
Hearing this, Qin Lang’s expression changed.
He suddenly remembered that there was indeed a major auction in North Capital today!
The Florique Auction!
……
At two in the afternoon, Fang Yu brought Ye Shengxue to accompany Qin Lang to the North Capital branch of Florique Auction House.
“We have a batch of jewelry that we’d like to include in tonight’s auction. Is it possible…” Qin Lang said to the branch manager, Jeris.
“Mr. Qin, if you want to provide auction items, you need to contact us a month in advance… It’s too late now. Everything has been prepared, and it’s difficult to make changes. Your auction items will have to wait until the next auction,” Jeris replied.
“When is the next one?” Qin Lang asked.
“Three months later,” Jeris answered. “Our Florique Auction House holds an auction in North Capital once every quarter.”
“Three months is too long,” Qin Lang sighed, feeling somewhat desperate.
“Take out the items,” Fang Yu said to Ye Shengxue.
Ye Shengxue immediately took out a storage bag and handed it to Fang Yu.
From the storage bag, Fang Yu took out a fist-sized gem radiating seven-colored light and presented it to Jeris.
“This is…” Jeris’s eyes widened as he looked at the gem, his expression changing.
“Could this be a Seven-Colored Prism Gem!?”
“I don’t know what gem it is. You can have an appraiser come out to evaluate its value,” Fang Yu said.
Jeris immediately gestured for his secretary to call for the auction house’s dedicated appraiser.
Soon, an elderly man wearing reading glasses walked in from outside.
Seeing this huge gem, his eyes widened. He walked forward and took out various tools to appraise it.
“My goodness… such a large prism stone, and it’s seven-colored… my Lord…” the old man kept exclaiming, his eyes round with shock.
“I have many similar gems,” Fang Yu said as he took out several different gems in succession.
Each time he produced one, it caused the old man to exclaim in surprise.
“Jeris, if these gems were brought to tonight’s auction, they would certainly create a sensation… Just that prism gem alone might fetch a price of over 100 million… You know, the people attending tonight’s auction are the wealthiest in North Capital…” the old man whispered to Jeris.
Jeris looked at Fang Yu, who was holding several gems in each hand, and was momentarily speechless.
But for the auction house itself, they could collect a 7% commission fee for each item sold.
In other words, the higher the value of the auction items, the more profit the auction house would make.
And the man before him still held many more such jewels…
“Mr. Qin, I’m willing to make an exception for you. Tonight, after our regular auction, Florique Auction House will add an exclusive auction for you. The auction items will be these gems in this gentleman’s hands,” Jeris said with a smile.
