Chapter 2306: Astronomically Priced Hairpin



"Oh really, then it's going to be a difficult situation..." Qiao Mei sighed deeply and yelled out, "550,000 dollars."

"600,000."

"700,000."

"800,000!"

Just like that, the two of them went back and forth, trying to outbid each other. At one point, the bid hit the amount of 1.8 million! At a time when the average salary of an ordinary person was only 80 dollars a month, these two people could actually spend 1.8 million dollars on a hairpin! What was the charm of this hairpin!

"It looks like Mr. Nan really likes this hairpin," Qiao Mei said with a resigned smile.

"That's right. I hope Miss Qiao can be magnanimous enough not to snatch what another person loves," Nan Dong said.

"Is that so? But I like it very much too. I can't possibly disappoint myself just to satisfy Mr. Nan," Qiao Mei said.

"Are the two of you going to continue bidding?" the emcee asked shakily.

Qiao Mei raised the sign in her hand and said, "2.3 million."

After that, Qiao Mei was not interested in the rest of the auction items. Since she had already contributed 5 million dollars to this charity gala, no one dared to say anything when she stood up and walked away.

Qiao Mei left the auction area with Gao Long and they headed to the dessert bar for some drinks. The wine served here tasted so much worse than the ones from their vineyard.

"I should open a winery in the capital and import all the wine I have in Country M," Gao Long said disdainfully.

"Even if you manage to import the wine, not many people will be able to afford it. The losses will be too great, so it's not worth the effort. You should just leave them at Bella's casino. That way, you can earn money faster and can price them much higher," Qiao Mei said.

"Bella has her own wine cellar. You probably don't know this, but Bella is the top wine producer in Country M. No one has ever said a bad thing about her wine," Gao Long said.

This was the first time Qiao Mei had heard of this. Bella was really amazing! She wished that she could invite Bella to the capital to have some fun, but she probably had to wait until Bella retired from her current business.

"Let me see if I can set up a vineyard here," Qiao Mei said.

"Can't you just build an extension to your manor?" Gao Long asked.

"That geographical environment is not suitable for producing wine and it will not taste good. Anyway, there are so many plots of land around. Let's talk about it when we find a suitable place. We already have too many businesses to take care of," Qiao Mei said calmly.

This was a normal conversation between the two of them, but anyone else listening in would not find it normal. Qiao Mei's assets were never made public. Everyone mainly only knew about her educational background and her factories in the capital.

"Aren't you worried that you'll cause trouble for the Xia family by spending so much money?" Gao Long raised his eyebrows and said to Qiao Mei as he looked at the people muttering among themselves in the distance.

"It doesn't matter. Eldest Brother should be able to... settle it..." Qiao Mei said.
