Chapter 65 The Auction Begins

Before Nigel Whyet came, he told Miles Julian specifically that he had to have a good attitude after seeing Martin James. But he did not expect Miles to be like this after seeing Martin.

"Mr. Whyet."

Martin waved his hand to Nigel, motioning him to stop talking.

Immediately afterwards, Martin looked at Miles and smiled,

"Mr. Julian, yes. I am the new chairman of the Gold Group. Yes, I am the grandson of Morgan Gracie."

"But, but--" Miles glared at Martin, still a little confused.

"Yesterday in the artificial lake side, I told you that you see nothing but the appearance of the lake. But next to the lake you knew nothing about, as you know me. You just stop at the surface. In fact, you told me that I don't know you." Martin said calmly.

After Miles heard this, he sighed long, and he understood. It turned out that Martin just hid his identity.

He thought carefully, with Martin James' position, it was easy to create a fake personal information.

"I, after all, looked away." Miles lowered his head.

Miles thought before that he must find a way to match his daughter with Mr. Gracie's grandson. He never dreamed that this person turned out to be Martin James.

Yesterday, Miles was at C City University artificial lake banks. He remembered telling Martin that he does not allow him to be around his daughter and to leave her alone.

What a drama! It was ridiculous!

"Mr. Julian, I don't know if you think now I am worthy of your daughter?" Martin stared at Miles Julian with a smile.

"Of course, of course!" Miles nodded with a grin.

Miles knew clearly now that Martin was the grandson of Morgan Gracie. How could he not be worthy of his daughter? Only his own daughter is not worthy of him.

Miles smiled and continued, "Mr. James, I had a problem with my brain yesterday. Do not take it seriously. About you and Hedy, I now support it one hundred percent!"

Miles thought carefully at that moment. Martin and his daughter were already boy and girl friends, and this was definitely a good one. Martin was practically his son-in-law, and he was happy just to think of that.

"Mr. Julian, I will tell you the truth about the matter between me and Hedy. I am not her boyfriend. I just pretended to be his boyfriend for a few days to help her cope with Moore Johnson's harassment." Martin said lightly.

"What!?"

Miles' expression suddenly stiffened.

Miles was fortunate in his heart just now, anyway. At least Martin and his daughter were already boy and girl friends for a while. He thought that he will be Martin's father-in-law and a relative of Morgan Gracie.

In the end, he was not happy for three seconds before Martin told him the truth.

At this time, the auction staff had already picked up the microphone to inform everyone that they would enter the auction venue and the auction would begin soon.

Martin stood up and said, "Mr. Julian, I hope you don't tell Hedy who I am. "

"Yes. Yes." Miles nodded quickly.

"Michael, let's go."

Martin called Michael and walked with him to the auction venue.

Miles looked at the back of Martin leaving, and his eyes were complicated.

At the same time, Miles secretly made up his mind that even if Martin and her daughter were pretending to be a couple, he still had to find a way to match the two of them. It is best to let the two of them do the fake.

The start of the auction had come, and the big bosses in the venue started walking to the auction venue.

As for those rich second generations, they were okay to play in the hall outside, and they were not eligible to enter the main venue of the auction.

The main venue of the auction was on the third floor. Martin and Michael entered the venue together, and then sat in the VIP seats in the first row. They had to sit according to the assigned numbers.

Martin, as a Gold Group Chairman, even if he did not mention, the auction party will have arranged him on the VIP seats.

To be honest, this was the first time Martin had visited such a place in his life.

But Martin was calm and composed. Because of the balance in the card, Martin can be confident enough.

Martin glanced at it, and the auction was not big. It could not hold more than a hundred people.

Martin had time to look around. Horace Edie of Mars Group just passed by Martin.

"Boy, let's wait and see!" Horace gave Martin a fierce look.

"Okay, let's take a look at today's auction. Who could possible have the last laugh?" Martin said with a smile.

Horace did not answer any more. He turned around and walked to his seat.

Horace was also sitting in the VIP seat in the first row, but he is on the left and Martin was on the right. It could be that the auction party, who deliberately separated the two parties.

A few minutes later, the bosses were all seated.

Boom!

The headlights of the auction were suddenly turned off, leaving only a few small lights and the lights on the auction stage.

At this time, a host walked onto the stage in a stride.

"Welcome all bosses to C City's annual auction." The host seemed very enthusiastic.

After the host took the stage, he gave a brief introduction to today's auction, and then invited several cadres from C City to give speeches on stage.

After the speech, fifteen minutes had passed.

"I think all the bosses, can't wait to look forward to the start of the auction, right? Well, let us not say much, for the auction will officially start!" The host raised his hand.

At this time, the first auction item was pushed upon the stage.

The first auction was a painting. It had a starting price of 10 million dollars, and a single mark, the lowest million.

As for this piece of art which came from the artist's hand. Martin did not hear clearly. Anyway, Martin was not interested on what they brought out.

It was the host's introduction that made Martin want to sleep.

Martin was surprised that that piece of art which started as a few bidders eventually drew a lot of bidders. Finally one of the bosses got it at 55 million dollar after the auction.

The second item on auction was an antique vase. Martin was also not interested, and the shareholder vase finally sold for 400,000 dollars.

The third item for auction was a glass jade bracelet with a starting price of 300,000 dollars.

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!

Four hundred thousand!

Four hundred and fifty thousand!"

The auction had just started. The bidding sounded one after another.

"Michael, what was the glass?" Martin looked at Michael.

Martin used to be a poor boy. Although he knew jade, he did not know the very specific classification.

Michael stared at the stage and said, "Mr. James, the glass type is the best variety of jadeite. This glass type jadeite has a very good color. If there were no surprises, it may cost millions of dollars."

Immediately afterwards, Michael looked at Martin and curiously said,

"Mr. James, are you interested in this jade bracelet?"

"Well, a little interest." Martin smiled and nodded.

At that time, the price had been called to a high price of 1.15 million dollars.

"Boss Z bid 1.15 million dollars. Is there anything higher than 1.15 million?

1.15 million for the first time!

The second time for 1.155 million dollars!"

The host on the stage had already raised the auction hammer in his hand and started the countdown.

"I will pay 1.5 million dollars!"

At that moment, a loud voice sounded.

Everyone followed the voice and saw the people in sight.

It was Martin James.

"Gold 's new chairman was lavish, raising so much at one time."

Everyone can't help sighing when Martin added to 1.5 million at a time.

"Boss Z, I like this jade bracelet, are you okay?" Martin turned his head and said to Boss Z who was sitting not far away.

Boss Z was the one who just bid 1.15 million.

"No, no." Boss Z could only laugh.

The boss was interested in this jade bracelet, but he thought he would not be able to win it.

As a result, Martin directly increased the price to 1.5 million. Why would he dare to increase the price? He did not think his wealth can be compared with Martin James.

"1.5 million! This jade bracelet belongs to Gold's Mr. James!"

Seeing that no one was bidding again, the host immediately dropped the hammer.

Next, the auction continued, and many more things were put out for auction, but Martin never bought anything again.

What Martin was waiting for was the final highlight, the land auction.

On stage, after another item was auctioned off,

"Boss, what follows is the finale of our auction, the land auction." The host said loudly.

When many bosses in the audience heard this, they all came to God and prayed.

"The first piece of land is east of the Church. A piece of land with a starting price of 200 million dollars and a minimum single fare one hundred thousand." the presenter announced.

"Two million five hundred thousand!

Two million eight hundred thousand!"

The fare increase sounded suddenly.

"Mr. James, this piece of land is in the suburbs. It was very partial and not of high value. Our company has no development intentions." Michael said.

Martin nodded his head. Some pieces of land must be grabbed. Michael told Martin before that Church was not among them.
