Chapter 1748

For the rich, the appeal of the Rejuvenation Pill definitely exceeds any other item in the world.

However, for such a long time before, Ye Chen had never treated the Rejuvenation Pill as a commodity.

The only time he auctioned the Rejuvenation Pill was because Kong Delong was too arrogant at Song Wanting's birthday party, so Ye Chen took out a Rejuvenation Pill to slap his face.

As for the other Rejuvenation Pills, Ye Chen basically treated them as favors and gave them to his relatives and friends around him.

However, Ye Chen's mentality had changed compared to before.

Before, he was not desperate for money and had never thought about how much money to earn or what height to reach.

But now, he had officially become the head of the Ye family and vowed to carry forward the Ye family. Therefore, he must consider how to convert all his resources into benefits and influence as much as possible.

It just so happened that he had been rooted in Jin Ling for many years, and now he also hoped that Jin Ling could take on the burden of the Ye family's second center. Therefore, using the Rejuvenation Pill and the auction could not only make a lot of money but also improve Jin Ling's influence, which was definitely killing two birds with one stone.

At this time, Chen Zekai asked Ye Chen respectfully, "Master Ye, how should we release these two hundred spots for the auction?"

Ye Chen laughed, "Find a technical team to develop an official APP, and let them sign up on our official APP."

Chen Zekai asked again, "What if there are a lot of people signing up? How should we select them? First come, first served?"

Ye Chen waved his hand, "How can such a fair and just rule as first come, first served appear in our APP? We are doing business with open doors, so of course, everything is based on money!"

Chen Zekai was confused, "Master Ye, what do you mean..."

Ye Chen laughed, "Our APP, in theory, can be downloaded by anyone, but if you want to sign up, I have two requirements:"

"First, you must accept our capital verification. Only those with actual assets greater than 10 billion RMB are eligible to participate;"

As soon as this was said, everyone's expressions were extremely shocked.

An admission ticket is 10 billion?! This threshold is too high! Even the top high-end clubs in the country now have an entry threshold of only about 1 billion.

Before they could recover from the shock, Ye Chen added, "Second, on this basis, we will select the two hundred spots that can finally participate in the bidding from high to low based on the actual amount of capital verification!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen explained, "That is to say, our ranking is not in order of time, nor is it first come, first served. It is simply a crude measure of everyone's strength. Whoever has the most money will be ranked first. Whoever doesn't have money, or whoever is not rich enough to rank in the top two hundred, then I'm sorry, I don't welcome them here."

Everyone was stunned. Chen Zekai said subconsciously, "Master Ye... there aren't even two hundred billionaires in the whole country..."

Ye Chen laughed, "Who said it's limited to China? I will find some people from overseas to help promote it, and I believe those wealthy people overseas will also flock here."

When he said this, Ye Chen thought of two suitable candidates.

One is the old feng shui master Lai Qinghua, who is highly respected in the Chinese world in the United States. This group of Chinese-Americans, including Mai Chengxing, dreams of figuring out how Lai Qinghua managed to be twenty years younger. Once the auction releases the news and Lai Qinghua clearly states that he took this Rejuvenation Pill to return to his youth, the wealthy people in North America will probably fly over overnight that night.

The other is the Nordic Queen who was just saved by himself.

She is still waiting for his follow-up Rejuvenation Pill, so she will naturally obey him. Tomorrow is Helena's coronation ceremony. By then, the entire European royal family, nobles, and top wealthy people will go to Northern Europe to participate in this coronation ceremony. As long as the old lady appears in front of this group of European wealthy people to speak, the Rejuvenation Pill will definitely set off a huge wave in the hearts of this group of nobles.

By then, small Jin Ling will probably become the center of attention for global wealthy people.

Speaking of this, Ye Chen added, "Old Chen, aren't many people trying to draw a line with Bai Jinhangong now? Then you can announce to the outside world that everyone who comes to participate in the auction must stay at Bai Jinhangong to enter!"

"By then, your Bai Jinhangong room rates can directly increase by a hundred times on the original price! Those that were 1,000 a night will become 100,000 a night, and those that were 10,000 a night will become 1,000,000 a night! Don't they all want to stay away from Bai Jinhangong? By then, let them see how those top wealthy people are grabbing rooms at Bai Jinhangong!"

Chen Zekai was very excited when he heard this, "That would be great! We can earn a year's turnover in two or three days..."

Ye Chen laughed, "I hope that through this auction, Jin Ling's soft power can be greatly improved!"

"Silicon Valley in the United States doesn't have any unique conditions. Isn't it because there are many internet companies that it has gradually become world-famous?"

"Las Vegas was originally a desert, but after the gambling industry started, it also became a world-famous gambling city in a very short time."

"This proves that for a city to develop, it doesn't necessarily need unique geographical location and natural resources. As long as it can choose the right field and promote its soft power in this field, it will definitely be able to develop."

Speaking of this, Ye Chen said arrogantly, "I dare not say that I can build Jin Ling into a top prosperous metropolis, but I can definitely build Jin Ling into a capital of longevity that top wealthy people from all over the world flock to! By then, I believe Jin Ling's economic development will also usher in a huge take-off!"

In order to promote the auction plan as soon as possible, Ye Chen called Song Wanting and told her about the auction concept.

Song Wanting was extremely excited after hearing it, because she knew very well that this was also a very good promotion for the Song family's Jiqing Hall.

There are many companies doing antique calligraphy and painting collection auctions now, but not many can make an impact. The reason why Christie's and Sotheby's can be world-famous is mainly because they have strong connections and influence in the upstream and downstream.

Upstream, which is the source of antique calligraphy and paintings, many good things are now in the hands of individual collectors. If they want to take out some collections for auction, the first thing they think of is these two large auction houses. Therefore, the so-called sources of these two large auction houses are countless times stronger than ordinary auction houses.

As for the downstream, it is those wealthy people who are willing to spend a lot of money to bid for collections from auction houses. Generally speaking, they only choose auction houses with high visibility, guaranteed safety, and good things.

Therefore, large auction houses like Christie's and Sotheby's can meet the needs of upstream and downstream at the same time, so they can form a strong commercial closed loop. The more people trust them and the more people hand over good things to them for auction, the more buyers are willing to choose them.

Over time, it is almost impossible for other brands to compete with them.

The Song family also handles many collections every year, but because they do not have strong influence, neither the acquisition price nor the selling price can reach the best state, and many times they cannot receive good things even if they have money.

This auction, Ye Chen is willing to organize it with Jiqing Hall, which is a very big improvement for Jiqing Hall's brand influence.

Maybe after one or two auctions, Jiqing Hall's influence can be on par with Christie's and Sotheby's.

Therefore, Song Wanting not only agreed without hesitation but also promised Ye Chen that she would definitely take out Jiqing Hall's best collections to help Ye Chen support the scene of this auction!
