Mao Jinxi looked around, snorted coldly, and without caring about the young lady beside him, he left slamming the door.
Li Ta Tian said indifferently, "Put Mao Jinxi and all Mao Family members on the Didixiya Auction House's entry ban list."
"Yes!" the voice of a staff member responded, and it was recorded immediately.
The auction continued until midnight before it ended.
People started leaving the venue, and those who had won items proceeded to pay and collect them in order.
Xu Hao looked around and did not see the mysterious young lady, so he stopped pondering it and went to collect the items with a few girls.
Le Wanqing followed closely behind Xu Hao. He wanted to see for himself whether Xu Hao could really pay up.
He knew that if Xu Hao dared to bid, he could definitely pay; otherwise, he wouldn't be able to leave the venue.
Yet, he still harbored a one in ten thousand hope.
He didn't dare to run away, for he would surely be caught by Jiang Xue Zhu and then beaten to a pulp. The reference version of this chapter is on *.
When Xu Hao received the plate that was only the size of a palm, he finally felt something different.
The plate was very hot, extremely hot, yet the heat did not dissipate.
If he hadn't touched it, he wouldn't have felt the heat at all.
Liu Ruyan glanced at the back of the plate and noticed that unlike the Ancient Sword, it didn't have the words "Feng Yi" engraved on it, which made her feel much more relieved.
Although she knew the item was deliberately gifted to Xu Hao by that mysterious girl, the absence of her name made her feel a bit better.
When the girls received the rings, they were all overjoyed, not just because of their value but more so because of what they represented.
In the entire jewelry industry, only these rings represented the planets of the solar system.
After paying, Xu Hao said to Le Wanqing, "Now, do you have anything else to say? Isn't it time to honor the bet?"
Le Wanqing hastily replied, "Can I just give you the money instead? I can give you ten million!"
"Heh, do you think I need your ten million?" Xu Hao said with a light smile.
Jiang Xue Zhu, seeing that Elder Dong was just passing by, immediately said, "Go honor the bet now, or this miss will smash your head in!"
Le Wanqing touched his head, thought about the public beating he'd receive from Jiang Xue Zhu if he disobeyed, and weighing his options, he rushed over to Elder Dong and kissed his cheek with the fastest speed he'd ever moved, then fled in a frenzy.
Elder Dong was instantly disheveled in the wind.
Touching his face, he exclaimed angrily, "You little rascal, stop right there! You've ruined my chastity!"
Old Mr. Li, hearing this, couldn't help but tease, "What chastity do you still have, you old boy? Didn't you give it to Big Sister Wang a long time ago?"
The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing this; many knew that Elder Dong's wife had passed away early, and he had been without company for years, but recently he'd been seen quite close to a Ms. Wang living next door. In fact, he even brought her along for this Huaya tour auction.
Elder Dong immediately retorted angrily, "You, Li, always have ulterior motives. I was drunk because of you that night!"
Seeing these two old gentlemen teasing each other in front of everyone lightened up the atmosphere, which had been somewhat subdued because of the late hour.
Just then, an elderly man with white hair and blue eyes walked over accompanied by a few young people.
Liu Ruyan, upon seeing this man, immediately whispered to Xu Hao, "This is Mark, Weining, chairman of the Mark Group, the biggest industrial machinery manufacturer in both America and the world, and he is also the clan leader of the Mark Family."
Mark, Weining laughed heartily, "Ha ha! Little Brother Xu, you're surrounded by so many beauties; truly enviable!"
Xu Hao was taken aback; this foreigner spoke the Huaya language exceedingly well.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Weining, you flatter me too much."
After exchanging a few compliments, Xu Hao asked, "May I know why Mr. Weining has sought me out? Is there anything you need?"
Mark Wei laughed, "Nothing much; Old Chen mentioned you to me, and seeing Little Brother Xu spend so generously, I could tell you are from a great family. I was wondering if there might be a chance for cooperation between us."
Xu Hao smiled, "That might indeed be possible. Frankly, our group needs to set up a new factory for producing cosmetics, and we require some of the latest types of cosmetics production equipment."
"Ha ha! You've come to the right person! The Mark Family is all about industrial machinery, not just cosmetics production equipment; even if you wanted to manufacture airplanes, I could send over a complete set of equipment to you!" Mark Weining said this with great pride, for there were few people in the world who could speak with such confidence.
Liu Ruyan whispered to Xu Hao, "All the equipment in the world's largest passenger aircraft manufacturing base is provided by the Mark Group."
Xu Hao was inwardly astonished; the Mark Group truly was a colossal entity. Solely the core technologies like aircraft engine manufacturing were absolutely top secret, yet they had them completely under their control.
