The leisurely life of the rich start

A smile appeared on Zhang Da's face: "Thank you, thank you."

After traveling all the way to Citigroup, I finally got my wish.

Next, I hope that at ti8, the Huaguo team can also raise the Immortal Shield.

At this time, the auctioneer has already started to play the video of the last lot.

It was an oil painting.

After several rounds of bidding, Lin Hai won the oil painting at a price of US$100 million.

"Let's go, pay the money and sign the contract."

Lin Hai, who took down the oil painting, was in a good mood, and said to Zhang Da with a smile.

Zhang Da stood up from his seat: "Well, let's go."

Fan Jiang stretched his waist: "Oh, my butt is numb."

"Let's go first."

Lin Hai greeted Huang Shiyi expressionlessly, and led Zhang Da to find the staff at the venue.

"Gentlemen, this way."

The staff led them to the trading room, and the staff in the trading room invited Zhang Da and the lawyer into an independent office.

In the office, apart from the staff wearing the Rockefeller Auction Company badge, there was also a middle-aged white man with brown hair.

The middle-aged people may have seen the process of the auction, and immediately greeted Zhang Da:

"Hello, sir, I am the head of Tudor North America, Christopher Fournier, this is my business card, thank you for your love and support for Tudor."

"Hi, my name is Zhang Da."

Zhang Da took the business card with both hands and shook hands with the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Zhang," Fournier said "Hello" in Chinese, "If you have time, I would like to talk to you after the transaction."

Zhang Da nodded: "Okay, no problem."

"Thank you, then I'll wait for you outside."

After finishing speaking, Fournier smiled at Zhang Da, turned around and walked out of the office.

The staff of the auction house asked Zhang Da to sit down, and then handed over a sales contract.

After confirming the contract and the lot, Zhang Da signed it, paid $858 million, and became a member of the auction house by the way.

In addition to the transaction price, as the buyer, he also needs to pay 10% commission to the auction house.

As for the fact that the buyer has to pay a commission, Zhang Da only found out about it at the last auction.

Moreover, compared with the domestic regulation that "the auctioneer shall not charge the buyer a commission exceeding 5% of the transaction price", the commission for foreign auctions is obviously much higher.

The moment the payment was successful, the system sounded:

"Hey, congratulations to the host for unlocking the 'unique' achievement, rewarding 5 million soft sister coins!"

'unique? 5 million? '

Zhang Da was a little surprised, and then another feeling of surprise came to his heart.

He didn't expect that the system would be so generous this time.

He took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and the reward money was still transferred to his card with the end number "3154".

Moreover, the "generosity" of the system goes far beyond this: "Since the host has unlocked 10 achievements, the system has started to automatically upgrade, and the upgrade time is estimated to be 30 minutes."

A sense of anticipation rose in Zhang Da's heart: "It's been upgraded again!"Moreover, the upgrade time this time is 30 minutes, and I don't know if any new content will be unlocked. '

After taking the golden watch box from the staff, Zhang Da took out his watch.

"Unique, Unique..."

Looking at the black watch, Zhang Da seemed to have some understanding in his heart.

In the future, he will have more "uniqueness".

Zhang Da took off the Richard Mille watch on his wrist, and put the bronze watch on his right hand.

The lawyers and the staff of the auction house applauded at the same time.

Chapter 51 System Upgrade

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, I have prepared a conference room, and I hope it won't take up too much of your time."

Outside the office, Fournier approached Zhang Da very enthusiastically.

After saying hello to Fan Jiang who was waiting for Lin Hai in the trading room, Zhang Da brought his lawyer and followed Fournier to a small meeting room.

"I saw your generosity at the auction today, it was really impressive."

Fournier exchanged pleasantries with Zhang Da again, and then got to the point, "Now, I am honored to extend a sincere invitation to you, the owner of this watch..."

"Tudor, looking forward to your arrival."

"In addition to yourself, you can also invite three companions to visit our headquarters together."

Every time Fournier said a sentence, he would stop and wait for a while, leaving enough time for the translator.

"Besides, when you visit, we will also prepare a special gift for you."

"Of course, I want to remind you again that this invitation must be fulfilled by November 2022, 11."

"Once you decide on a time to visit, just send an email to the email address on the business card."

"Also, I hope to have the honor of getting your email address and formally invite you to become our member."

...

After some conversation, Zhang Da shook hands with Fournier again, and left the meeting room with the lawyer.

On the mobile phone, Fan Jiang had already sent him a message, telling Zhang Da to go back to his room to find him.

At the elevator entrance, the lawyer who was about to get off work said goodbye to Zhang Da:

"Then, Mr. Zhang, I will take my leave first."

"Okay, sorry to trouble you today, thank you."

Zhang Da nodded, turned and walked into the elevator.

Back in the room, Fan Jiang greeted him.

"Are you back? Does this watch look good on your hand?" Fan Jiang glanced at Zhang Da's right wrist and asked again, "By the way, are you going to the auction dinner?"

Zhang Da was only thinking about the system being upgraded, so he refused: "I don't want to go, it's all foreigners, I don't think it's interesting."

Fan Jiang shrugged: "All right, then I won't go either."

Zhang Da asked again: "By the way, where are Brother Hai and the others? Are you back in your room?"

Fan Jiang sat on the sofa: "They said they would send the lot to the branch in Los Angeles, and they will be back later."

"Then let's wait for them to come back."

Zhang Da looked at his watch. It was almost half an hour since the system upgrade started.

A few minutes later, the sound of the system rang on time.

"Hey, the system has been upgraded to version 111, and the task system and achievement system have been upgraded."

"After the quest system was upgraded, the quest rewards were increased, and a quest column was added. The host can now have up to two quests, and a new quest mode - 'challenge quest' has been opened."

'Challenge mission?What's the meaning? '

"Challenge tasks, the difficulty and rewards are higher than other tasks, and the penalty for failure is reduced."

'Oh, that's not bad. '

Zhang Da gave a thumbs up in his heart, and opened the task panel again.

Sure enough, as the system said, there are now two empty task bars in the task panel.

Then cut to the achievement panel, which is roughly the same as before, and the unlocked achievements are still invisible.

But for the tasks that have been completed, there are more specific instructions.

For example, the "unique" achievement that Zhang Da just obtained today reads:

"The host has a unique item in the world."

Below the achievements of "Task Novice", the upgrade achievements and achievement progress of the next stage are listed:

"Mission Elite: Unlockable after completing 30 missions. (630)"

Similarly, there are corresponding upgrade achievements under the achievements of "No Deal or No Deal" and "Elementary Riding":

As long as the total riding time exceeds 50 hours, Zhang Da can upgrade elementary riding to intermediate riding.

And after spending more than [-] million yuan in a single transaction, he can also unlock an achievement called "more wealth and more than [-] million yuan".

Zhang Da couldn't help complaining in his heart: "The creator of this system is also a ghost." '

After carefully studying the upgraded system again, Fan Jiang said: "My brother sent me a message, and he said that if he doesn't go to the dinner party, he will take us to a Chinese restaurant for dinner."

Zhang Da repeatedly nodded: "Okay, isn't Chinese food more delicious than going to a dinner party?"

Fan Jiang tapped the phone screen for a while: "My brother said that the driver will pick us up later."

...

When the two came to the private room in the restaurant, Lin Hai had already ordered, and a large plate of dim sum and several cold dishes were placed on the table.

"Come on, let's try it, Jing Ba Pieces, I heard that they are all palace desserts."

"Okay, then I'm welcome."

Zhang Da nodded, sat down and tasted all kinds of dim sum.

It would be already 7 o'clock in the evening, and he was really hungry.

Lin Hai grabbed the shortbread and asked as he ate, "Zhang Da, would you like some wine today? Congratulations on buying this watch."

Zhang Da thought for a while: "Let's drink some, I'm happy today."

Lin Hai nodded: "Okay, let's not drink red wine today, let's eat some rice wine and eat mutton!"

For this meal, Lin Hai "restrained" only ordered one dish of fried crab, and most of the other dishes were home-cooked.

However, eating mutton with skin full of soup and drinking a sip of rice wine is really enjoyable!

"This mutton tastes really good!" Zhang Da couldn't help sighing, "I want to go to Pengcheng again."

Lin Hai thought for a while: "Oh, Pengcheng, where did you go to university?"

"Yes, Brother Hai!" Zhang Da took the initiative to raise his glass, "Do you still remember this?"

"My first...well, a friend of mine is also from Pengcheng," Lin Hai said vaguely, "Is there a Fuyang Festival in Pengcheng?"

"Yes, the Goat Festival," Zhang Da smiled, "However, don't worry about not celebrating the Goat Festival, Pengcheng has mutton to eat."

"Pengcheng mutton is really delicious," Fan Jiang recalled. "I remember when I was in college, I went to Pengcheng to play with Zhang Da, and I had barbecue and mutton soup every day. When I came back, I immediately gained a lot of weight."

Zhang Da patted him: "There is also ground pot chicken, brother."

"Yes, yes, ground pot chicken!" Fan Jiang patted his thigh and said to Lin Hai, "Brother Hai, why don't we go to Pengcheng together after returning to China! It's really good there, the food is delicious and cheap."

Lin Hai shook his head: "It may not be possible recently. I will stay in Citigroup for a long time. If you want to go, you two should go first."

"Okay, then Zhang Da and I will go first," Fan Jiang nodded, "Anyway, Pengcheng is also close to Shencheng, so you can go whenever you want after you return to China."

Several people were having a lively meal here, and in another hotel in Los Angeles, Cheng Mingming was sitting by the bed alone on the phone with the sound of water flowing in the bathroom.

"Mom, I'm sorry, that watch was not photographed, and someone else bid higher than me."

A gentle female voice came out of the phone: "What's there to apologize for? There's nothing you can do about it if someone else bids too much."

"But didn't you say this watch is very important? You want to give this watch to grandpa..."

"It's okay, just go find other gifts for mom."

"But…"
