The city's number one tycoon

Chapter 288

"Let him in." A voice suddenly rang out, and Chen Hao walked over.

"Mr. Ma, it seems he doesn't have your invitation letter," the security guard said awkwardly, trying to prove his responsibility at work.

"This person is my friend. I told him to come in. Didn't you understand?" Chen Hao said coldly.

The security guard immediately gestured for Ma Yunteng and Xia Yuxin to enter, and the two quickly went up to the third floor. Some nouveau riche behind them were envious and green with envy, lamenting why they weren't Ma Yunteng's friends.

The two were stunned by the scene before them as soon as they entered the third floor.

This is a large space that appears to be several thousand square meters in size. The lights inside are flashing, and it is extremely luxurious. Soft music is playing inside, which is very elegant. If the atmosphere they saw on the first floor was more lively and wealthy, then this place can be described as elegant and luxurious.

You can tell from the volume of the voices and the greedy expressions on the faces of the people inside.

The people on this yacht are the real millionaires. Every move they make exudes maturity, composure, and confidence. Of course, the women accompanying them are also adorned with gold and silver, displaying a remarkably elegant and luxurious demeanor.

Dressed like Xia Yuxin, walking into this place would make her look no different from a beggar.

Xia Yuxin stared blankly at the scenery inside. It was the first time she had ever seen such a prosperous place. The chandeliers in the hall looked like pure gold, and the cups on the tables used for drinking tea or wine were all antiques.

"Take this card." Ma Yunteng handed Xia Yuxin a bank card directly.

"Brother Teng... how can I take your money!" Xia Yuxin declined.

“Just take it. Don’t be so polite with me. Besides, it’s just a little pocket money,” Ma Yunteng said with a slight smile.

"Brother Teng, how much money is in this card?" Xia Yuxin asked in surprise. It was the first time she had ever used such a black bank card.

"It's not much, a little over 10 billion. You can spend it for now," Ma Yunteng said casually.

Xia Yuxin felt completely bewildered. It was just a little pocket money, nothing much... just over 10 billion!

"Brother Teng... this is too much... I can't possibly spend it all!" Xia Yuxin said speechlessly. To be honest, what could a girl possibly spend over 10 billion on? Aside from investments, if it were for cosmetics... it could probably fill ten villas!

“I’ll get angry if you refuse again. Just consider this money as the wedding money I’m saving for our son…” Ma Yunteng said with a chuckle.

"Hmph! Who wants to have a son with you!" Xia Yuxin said coquettishly, her pretty face flushed.

“Having a daughter is fine too,” Ma Yunteng said with a smile.

"You bad guy," Xia Yuxin glared at him, embarrassed and annoyed.

As the two joked around, the auction slowly began. Some staff members slowly placed the auction items on the stage. Because they were covered with red cloth, no one could tell what was inside.

"Let's go to the front row." Ma Yunteng pulled Xia Yuxin directly towards the front row.

"Have you heard? Nobody with a net worth of less than 100 million can even get into this auction."

"After all, it's an auction organized by Boss Ma. This level of event isn't something that nouveau riche can just walk into."

"It is said that all the profits from this auction will be donated free of charge."

"Mr. Ma is really shrewd. Now that he's not short of money, he's starting to care about his reputation. The title of the most philanthropic man in Jiangnan City is definitely his."

"I wonder what Mr. Ma is going to bid on this time. I guess any one of the items he picks out would be a priceless collectible, right?"

"So what if it's expensive? These tycoons will definitely give him face and bid for it all. Everyone knows that as long as you can cooperate with Calorie Group, you can easily make tens of billions in profits."

Along the way, Ma Yunteng heard various opinions. From these opinions, Ma Yunteng could roughly tell that there was a lot of support for this charity auction, and everyone felt that 'Ma Yunteng' was a person of high moral character.

The music in the venue changed from a soothing piano piece to a rousing entrance song. Guided by several beautiful hostesses, Chen Hao slowly walked onto the auction stage, holding a microphone in his hand, smiling broadly at the crowd, and called out, "My name is Ma Yunteng!"

After saying those five words, Chen Hao paused noticeably, because he knew that the audience was about to applaud.

Clap clap clap clap!

The huge third-floor hall was instantly filled with thunderous applause, and even the chandelier on the ceiling trembled several times because of the loud sound.

The performance officially began.

Chapter 199 Five Hundred and One Hundred Million! [Third update as a bonus for yesterday!]

The performance officially began.

Chen Hao glanced at the crowd below the stage, gestured for them to stop, and then said, "Thank you all for coming. I, Ma Yunteng, am honored and proud to have invited all the distinguished guests from Jiangnan City!"

As everyone knows, our Calorie Group started with internet cafes and later established Banana Mobile and TR Technology. Of course, everyone here also knows that for a company to truly grow and become stronger, it must develop comprehensively, in a multi-dimensional, multi-field, and multi-angle manner!

Calorie Group is thriving and will be expanding into various fields! It will also inevitably forge deep collaborations with industry leaders in each sector!

However, when Calories collaborates with others, we consider not only profit potential but also the other party's quality and aspirations! Therefore, the Calories Group Board of Directors has unanimously decided that the owner who auctions the most items today will receive an opportunity for in-depth cooperation with Calories Group!

Furthermore, all profits generated from this auction will be donated by my Calorie Group to the Red Cross and Hope Primary Schools! That concludes my remarks. Thank you again for your support! Now, I declare the auction officially open!

Chen Hao's speech, which was nearly 500 words long, instantly brought the auction to a climax.

"A deep collaboration with Calorie Group! Wow, this opportunity is so tempting!"

"Needless to say? Any company that gets associated with Calorie Group will likely see its profits increase exponentially!"

"Today's auction is destined to be a battlefield where many big shots will fight it out!"

"Moreover, Mr. Ma is so generous that he actually wants to donate all of his profits. Such a vision is something that ordinary entrepreneurs like us can never achieve in our entire lives!"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
