Chapter 160 Hot Auction (Seeking Monthly Pass)

Xia Rufei really couldn't associate the sexy girl in the gym in the morning wearing a three-point sportswear with the noble, elegant and charming heir to the Grasso family in front of her.

But that's the truth.

Monica Grasso, who was standing on the stage at this moment, was Monica, a sexy foreign girl who had a great chat with Xia Rufei in the gym in the morning.

In fact, after Monica took the stage, she saw Xia Rufei's position as soon as she was very conspicuous. She was almost the center of the first row, and she was surrounded by world-class wealthy Ma Xiong.

The moment Monica saw Xia Rufei, she was also slightly surprised, but it was much better than Xia Rufei.

When she said goodbye at the gym today, Monica saw Xia Rufei walking towards the special elevator for the presidential suite with her own eyes. At that time, she had a premonition that Xia Rufei's identity should be unusual.

Monica's beautiful dark blue eyes emitted a brilliant ray. After a moment of staying on Xia Rufei, she showed an elegant smile at him before looking around the audience.

Monica's sexy red lips slightly opened and said, "Ladies and gentlemen! Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in the truffle auction of our Grasso family. Our Grasso family has always attached importance to the Chinese market. This time, we specially put the final auction of this season's truffle auction in China. The Grasso family has a history of more than 150 years of operation of truffles, and we have always adhered to it..."

Monica talked freely on the stage, exuding the inherent confidence of a noble.

Such a beautiful beauty standing on the stage, naturally everyone will not be impatient, and Westerners are not used to long-term discussions. Monica briefly introduced the situation of the truffle auctioned this time and handed the microphone to the host.

Of course, she did not step down, but walked to the chair beside her and sat down.

After sitting down, Monica gently tidied up the hem of her skirt, looked up at Xia Rufei, and a charming smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Xia Rufei also nodded slightly to greet her.

At this time, Lu You next to Xia Rufei leaned closer to him and asked in a low voice: "Do you know that foreign girl?"

Xia Rufei was stunned for a moment. Although he and Monica on the stage had been "flirting" several times, he thought they were all very hidden, but he didn't expect Lu You to find it all at once.

Xia Rufei turned his head and looked at Lu You, saying, "I met you in the gym today."

There is no need to hide this. I am open and upright and have not done anything wrong.

Lu You curled her lips and said, "I will tell Jiang Yue when I go back!"

Xia Rufei was confused. He was even stunned for a second or two before he remembered that Jiang Yue was the college student he had saved, Lu You's best friend in the same dormitory.

Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly and said, "Why did you mention Jiang Yue suddenly? What does this matter have to do with her?"

"Pretending to be confused." Lu You said lightly, then sat up straight.

Xia Rufei suddenly felt ten thousand alpacas rushing past, thinking that the girl’s thinking was too jumpy and she refused to speak clearly, so she felt that communication was so difficult!

However, it is obviously not suitable to ask what to ask for on this occasion, so I can only ask carefully after I come down.

At this time, the auction had already begun on the stage.

To be fair, the truffles that the Grasso family airlifted to China for auction this time are actually of very good quality. For example, the white truffle displayed on the stage now weighs about 300 grams. Once the transparent lid is lifted, the unique rich fragrance of the white truffle immediately spreads.

The price of white truffles this year is about US$5,000 per kilogram, but after the auction of this piece of white truffle of about 300 grams, the buyers were very enthusiastic. From the starting price of US$1,000, it quickly called out to US$5,000, which is more than three times the market price.

Of course, the truffles sold by the Grasso family this time are of great quality, and it is natural to be more expensive.

Moreover, the tradition of the Grasso family is that 5% of the income from each auction will be donated to charity, and this time in China's auction, the donation will be directly donated to the Huaxia Charity Foundation.

Those who are invited to participate in such auctions are also valuable business elites. Some people love truffles themselves and have the intention of doing charity, so they don’t care much about the price.

Finally, this 300 grams of truffle was sold for US$5,888. It can be seen from this transaction price that the buyer is a Chinese.

A middle-aged man in his suit and ties, about the early forties, took a photo of the truffle, and went to the staff to pay and deliver it with a smile. He also brought a good start to the auction.

The following auction went very smoothly, with more than a dozen truffles sold for more than US$5,000. The weight of these truffles generally ranged from about 300 grams.

Most buyers come from China.

Of course, some truly heavyweight rich people have not taken action yet. Most of the people participating in the auction are small and medium-sized entrepreneurs or catering businesses.

As the auction proceeded, the weight of the truffle single body was getting heavier and white truffles above 500 grams began to appear.

Everyone's enthusiasm was completely mobilized, and some chefs from well-known Western restaurants also began to participate in the auction. Such white truffles can become the treasure of a Western restaurant. Although the timeliness is only two or three days, it can completely bring great popularity and a reputation to the restaurant.

The transaction price also rose rapidly, and soon the transaction price of a white truffle of about 580 grams exceeded 10,000 US dollars.

However, some people have noticed that as a loyal fan of White Truffle, Ma Xiong has not even offered a price once and always sits firmly on Diaoyutai with a smile on his face.

It is understandable if Ma Xiong did not take action. After all, as a super rich man, he has a high horizon. The truffles auctioned now may be very precious in the eyes of others, but Ma Xiong may not be able to see them.

However, even Mark Lawrence, chef of the French restaurant on the top floor of Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel, had no intention of participating in the auction at all, which made everyone a little puzzled.

It is logical that when the auction is at this stage, it is the time when the competition for those high-end Western restaurants is the most intense!

Of course, many people just felt a little strange. The auction atmosphere on the venue was very lively, and everyone's attention was more on the stage.

The auction is continuing, Xia Rufei roughly calculated that the total transaction price of the truffles in front should have reached about 300,000 US dollars.

Finally, the auctioneer said exaggeratedly in an infectious tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next one is today's finale! This is also the largest single white truffle collected by the Grasso family in this truffle season, with a weight of 1.45 kg! This is an almost world record weight!"

As soon as the auctioneer said this, the audience suddenly became excited...
