Super Zoo

Mrs. Xiang is naturally Long Wu's wife. Although she looks a little fat, Su Ming has seen photos of her when she was young on the Internet. It can be said that she is not inferior to any female star under Long Wu Entertainment Company. As a powerful figure in the entertainment industry and the entertainment industry, Long Wu's ability to stay with her until today is considered a good story in Hong Kong. This Mrs. Xiang must also be quite skillful in controlling her husband.

Along the way to the charity banquet venue, the formation of the four people changed. Su Ming and Long Wu, two men in matching attire, walked in front, and Mrs. Xiang walked behind with Nangong on her arm. Mrs. Xiang was in the back and was teaching Nangong. Experience, "Let me tell you, men are all about loyalty. When their brains get hot, they don't care about anything. Look at him. He is like this every time. He can't turn away his friends when they ask for help. He has so much money in the Jockey Club, how much money can he lose?" It’s nothing, why do you need him to come forward..."

Although her words had a strong flavor of bragging, they seemed very honest and not annoying. She was on the same side as Su Ming and the others, implying that Su Ming was also a friend. It's better to let Su Ming win more money from the Jockey Club. Nangong was also a good person, so he smiled and said: "Tenth Brother is famous. Here, Tenth Brother's words are more effective than the chief executive's administrative order. Otherwise, the horse club would have to find Tenth Brother for me. Xiang Tai, what is being auctioned tonight? ah?"

"They are all useless things, and we don't have to pay for them. But after all, they are doing charity and accumulating virtue for future generations."

The dinner was held at the Felix Restaurant on the 28th floor of the Peninsula Hotel. The organizer had booked the entire restaurant. After Su Ming entered the venue, he found that there were already many guests coming to the dinner in the circular restaurant. Along the way, people kept coming and going. Long Wu said hello.

Different from the previous press conference held in Yangchuan City, on this occasion today, Su Ming was just a soy sauce person. He didn’t know anyone. He simply said hello to Long Wu’s family and went straight to his seat. Sit down by the window.

Looking down from the 360-degree ring-shaped viewing glass, Victoria Harbor at dusk is already filled with dots of lights, shining like a starry river. Sitting in a place like this, even the most ordinary person can easily develop ambition, or the motivation to strive.

"That's what it means to be a drunkard. I don't know how many people have struggled all their lives, thinking that they were finally standing at the top of the pyramid, but in the end they found that they were still just a powerless ordinary human being." Su Ming suddenly said something.

"Wow, Mr. Su, it's such a pity that you are studying philosophy when you have such a beautiful girl by your side." A foreigner suddenly appeared on the opposite side, wearing a girly, tight-fitting and cut-out suit, with the shirt turned up. Orchid finger.

Seeing him like this, Nangong thought he had encountered a pervert, and subconsciously shrank towards Su Ming. But on second thought, he felt it was not polite, so he squeezed out a smile and asked, "Who is this?"

"Young Master Su, don't you remember me? Wow, you must have forgotten me too well. It makes people like you so sad." The foreigner cast a wink at Su Ming resentfully.

"Roben, are you hosting today's auction?" Su Ming looked at it for several seconds before he recognized this guy. He was the same auctioneer who hosted the auction at Sotheby's last time. Later I found out that he was not a good person. Absolutely gay.

"Of course it's me. Then **** said that Mr. Su has a bright future. We haven't seen him for half a year and he has become a lot more handsome!" Robben said with a silly smile.

Nangong felt so sick that he almost had goosebumps. Su Ming laughed and said, "Don't worry, this guy is not interested in women. Robben, come and help me see which of the items being auctioned tonight are particularly unique." Collectible?”

Before entering the venue, the waiter had already distributed a brochure introducing tonight's auction items to each guest. Su Ming flipped through it casually. Not many were interested. He was not an expert in this field. Robben happened to show up. , you might as well ask him, maybe you can find something missing.

"Wow, Su Sheng, is this a violation of my professional ethics?" Robben blinked, shocking Su Ming, and then deliberately pretended to be reluctant and said: "But Who made you so handsome? I can’t refuse your request.”

"According to what you say, I'm betraying my appearance." Su Ming also smiled.

Before this kind of charity dinner, small groups of acquaintances chatted together in twos and threes, and no one noticed Su Ming and the others. Robben flipped through the brochure and pointed to a few gadgets to introduce. A Governor's flag signed by the last Governor of Hong Kong, Peng Dingkang, and an out-of-print Patek Philippe watch, all have good potential for appreciation. I can't say that you will make money if you buy them, but compared with other charity auction items that are almost free of charge, they are finally No loss.

"Are there animals?" Su Ming was slightly startled, pointing to a page in the album, a rare pure white gold arowana, and several hexagonal arowanas.

Pure platinum arowana is actually an albino. Its whole body is snow-white without any other impurities. Only its eyes are red. It looks very elegant. It is a very high-end pet fish. When the price is very high, it can be sold for two to three hundred thousand dollars a piece. However, the starting price of this fish is only 150,000 US dollars, so there is obviously no point in buying it.

The Hexagonal Arowana is not a fish, but a kind of salamander that lives in the water. It looks like a miniature version of the giant salamander, but it is much cuter than the giant salamander. It has a pink body, a big flat mouth, and two cute eyes. It has small black eyes and six coral-like tentacles around its big head. It looks like a water elf in a fairy tale.

"Some kind-hearted and noble children donated their pets." Robben shrugged and added in a low voice: "Actually, I just don't want to keep them."

"These little fish with long horns are so cute, let's buy them and keep them!" Nangong had no resistance at all to such small animals that only appeared in fairy tales.

Hexagonal arowanas are not expensive. The starting price for all nine of them is US$10,000. However, for US$10,000, you can buy a car full of hexagonal arowanas at the pet market.

Su Ming flipped through a few more pages and found a horse. When he saw the introduction, he couldn't help but laugh. It was actually the 'Shibaolong'.

"Young Master Su, please don't buy it. This horse is rubbish." Seeing that Su Ming seemed to be very interested, Luo Ben quickly advised: "It is at the bottom every year. Its role in horse racing is Be a clown and make everyone laugh.”

"I like it!" Su Ming raised his eyebrows. Nangong was very happy. He didn't have a horse yet. He bought one and went back to ride it. It also put some pressure on the second senior brother, lest it think that he was the only mount and become arrogant.

…

The auction started soon. Since it was a charity event, Robben's hosting style was completely different from that at the Sotheby's wine sale. He mainly made jokes and made the audience burst into laughter.

The competition in the auction is not fierce. Generally, after raising the price two or three times symbolically, if one party shows that they are really interested, the others will take the initiative to withdraw. Su Ming believed that as long as Nangong was happy, the money would be well spent. After two bids, he bought the small box of hexagonal arowana for US$20,000.

When Robben announced that the auction item was the Shibaolong, the whole audience burst into laughter, and no one raised a sign for a long time. It's not that he is reluctant to give up money. This Shibaosaurus is a living creature and will definitely continue to compete in the future. Spending money to buy it back will be really embarrassing in the future.

So Su Ming didn't even encounter any bidders and bought it directly at the starting price.

"Eighty thousand dollars, a thoroughbred racehorse, Su Sheng has earned it!" Robben said in a funny tone when the hammer fell.

Everyone present turned around and looked at Su Ming with an amateurish expression. Some even smiled kindly and shook their heads sympathetically.

If you just look at the pedigree, buying a purebred racehorse for $80,000 is certainly a profit. However, these Shibaosaurs have almost no competition value. If you buy them back, they will be a burden. After they go on the field, they can only play clowns and be last. The previous owner just couldn't stand the jokes from all sides, so he took it out and auctioned it off for charity.

Many people even think that this new face is gaining fame in this way, so that he can integrate into the upper class circles as soon as possible.

In any case, when Robben called out the buyer's name, the celebrities present immediately remembered Su Ming.

"Don't care about their opinions. Shibaolong has potential, but it just lacks a good master. If it is well-trained and achieves good results once or twice in competitions, its worth will increase tenfold or a hundredfold, and then they will regret it. "Long Wu persuaded with a smile, but it could be seen that he was just standing as a friend to encourage Su Ming, and was not really optimistic about Shibaolong's potential.

The former owner of Shibaolong sent the certificate to Su Ming and said, "I heard from Brother Ten that Mr. Su won tens of millions at the Jockey Club a few days ago and is a real expert. I hope that Shibaolong can be with you in the future. It shines brightly in my hands!”

This man’s surname is Luo, Luo Jiaju, the son of Luo Dingbang, the king of Xiangjiang’s textile industry and founder of the Shibaolong brand, so the previous horse was also named ‘Shibaolong’.

"Wow, it turns out that the horse god who 'robbed' the Jockey Club in Happy Valley is Mr. Su! Mr. Su, you have given a sigh of relief to all of us. I suggest you applaud Mr. Su!" Robben was on the stage. He made a very excited expression and was the first to applaud.

The wealthy people at the dinner watched Su Ming's expression change slightly, and the sympathetic smile on his face disappeared and turned into curiosity.

Most of the rich people present are horse racing enthusiasts. For them, tens of millions can be spent, but winning tens of millions is another concept. Under normal circumstances, they give money to the Jockey Club, and the Jockey Club can make a lot of money from them every year. When Robben said this, everyone smiled knowingly and applauded as if they were just having fun. stand up.

After a small hiatus, several more knick-knacks were auctioned off. Su Ming's table was relatively close to Long Wu's table. They were watching the auction while chatting.

Just when the auction was about to end, Luo Jiaju, the former owner of Shibaolong, who was sitting not far away, suddenly strode up to Long Wu very rudely.

People at the tables closer could see that Luo Jiaju's face was extremely ugly. The air-conditioning in the restaurant was turned on, but there were big beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Mr. Luo, what's the matter?" Long Wu asked with a frown.

"Brother Ten, I just received a call from home. My daughter has been kidnapped. I have asked my family to call the police. The police have no clues for the time being. I would like to ask Brother Ten to help find out the news." Luo Jiaju said solemnly.

He spoke not loudly, but due to the close distance, Su Ming heard everything clearly.

It’s a big event! Su Ming burst into tears.
