Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 199 The Auction Ends

She gracefully made a concluding gesture: "With this, all items in this private auction of rare treasures have been successfully sold! A complete success! Thank you sincerely for the trust and support of all our distinguished guests."

She gave a slight bow: "Next, gentlemen who have successfully bid, please move forward so we can proceed with the final settlement and sign the relevant documents. Except for items such as vehicles and license plates that require special procedures for handover, you may take all other auctioned items and certificates with you on site."

As the two undisputed mainstays of this match, Ye Fan and Fang Yu were the first to stand up and walk to the temporary settlement area on the side.

叶凡将手中那三枚沉甸甸的黑色合金号牌——001（迈凯伦P1）、002（百达翡丽5002P）、以及刚拿到代表66666车牌的临时凭证，一起递给了那位年轻干练的女拍卖官。

The middle-aged assistant immediately pulled up a detailed list on the tablet, while the female auctioneer quickly announced the total amount in a clear voice: "Mr. Ye, you have successfully bid on three treasures: a McLaren P1 for 20 million; a Patek Philippe Ref. 5002P for 16 million; and the license plate Su A·66666 for 6 million. The total is 42 million. Please confirm."

Ye Fan simply nodded casually, took out a bank card, and swiped it lightly on the portable POS machine.

With a soft "beep" and Ye Fan's composed action of entering the password, a huge sum of money, enough to leave ordinary people speechless, was transferred in an instant.

Although the female auctioneer and her assistant tried their best to remain professional, the fleeting shock deep in their eyes was still hard to completely conceal.

The middle-aged assistant quickly and respectfully handed Ye Fan the dark blue velvet box containing the Patek Philippe 5002P watch and the relevant certificates with both hands.

On the other side, Fang Yu's settlement was also completed quickly.

"It's a pleasure doing business with you!" The female auctioneer greeted her again with a perfect professional smile.

......

At this moment, Mr. Li, the taciturn old man in the Tang suit who was in charge of the appraisal, also came over with his assistant.

The old man smiled warmly at Ye Fan, Fang Yu, and the others, cupped his hands, and said, "Young masters, the handover is now complete. We will take our leave now and not disturb your enjoyment any longer."

The three of them then disembarked and headed towards the dock.

As the auction was about to end, the yacht had already docked at the pier.

Ye Fan asked Qin Kun, "Is everything done? Shall we leave?"

"Okay, let's go eat." Qin Kun and Fang Yu both agreed.

After spending an afternoon together, especially after the auction, Ye Fan had been completely accepted by them.

In their world, which values ​​strength and social circles, Ye Fan proved his worth in the most direct way—his unfathomable wealth and unique way of doing things—and naturally integrated into the core.

His status and position have undergone a silent but solid leap forward in this circle of arrogant second-generation elites after this auction.

The atmosphere at dinner that follows will likely be even more harmonious and lively.

......

Inside the restaurant's private rooms, crystal chandeliers cast soft light as exquisite dishes were served one after another.

The atmosphere seemed relaxed, but an invisible sense of hierarchy had already formed.

Qin Kun and Fang Yu chatted and laughed with Ye Fan, their statuses being relatively equal.

Qin Fei, Wang Zhui, Lin Feng, and the others showed a noticeable, albeit subtle, respect towards Ye Fan, and their words carried a greater degree of agreement.

They knew very well that this newly acquainted Young Master Ye possessed far more power than they had initially imagined.

As for the female companions, their thoughts were more "pure".

They keenly sensed Ye Fan's undisputed central aura among this group, not only as the core member but also as the "big spender" who could casually spend over 40 million.

Coupled with his ridiculously handsome face and youthful charm, their eyes lingered on Ye Fan like hungry wolves, filled with undisguised desire and a yearning to climb on his shoulders.

Chen Chulin became the target of their envy, jealousy, and hatred, almost pierced by their burning gazes.

......

Fang Yu picked up the decanter and gestured to Ye Fan, "Old Ye, how about some baijiu? To liven things up?"

Ye Fan waved his hand, his expression calm: "Next time, let's skip it today."

He can drink, but he's not a heavy drinker; he only drinks when he's in the mood.

"Okay." Fang Yu didn't insist and poured himself a glass.

Qin Kun chuckled and interjected, "Drinking here is no fun! Let's go to my bar later, I'll open a few of my most prized bottles, I guarantee you'll be amazed and have a blast!"

Fang Yu took a sip of his drink, put down his glass, and looked at Qin Kun with a hint of inquiry: "Old Qin, are you just planning to keep running that bar? Don't you have any other ideas?"

Qin Kun's smile faded slightly, revealing a hint of helplessness and frustration: "Sigh, do you think I don't want to make a big splash? But in today's market, all the good opportunities and big deals have already been snapped up by those old foxes, leaving barely a drop of soup. We juniors are lucky if we can even pick up the scraps that slip through their fingers. It's tough!"

He sighed heavily; this was the truth.

Fang Yu nodded in agreement: "Indeed. The projects I'm working on look glamorous, but they're actually quite bumpy and not that easy to do."

There was also a hint of weariness in his voice.

Ye Fan listened quietly, and when the topic turned to business and investment, he naturally followed up with, "Investing is still quite promising right now. What industries have you been focusing on or investing in lately?"

His tone carried just the right amount of interest.

Fang Yu immediately turned around, his gaze sharp as he looked at Ye Fan: "What, Old Ye, are you interested in these things too?"

He keenly grasped the subtext in Ye Fan's words.

"Yes!" Ye Fan answered frankly and directly, without needing to hide anything from these people.

He founded Red Bean Capital to find and operate high-quality projects, and now that he has connections with people like Qin Kun and Fang Yu, it is a good opportunity to expand.

"No way?"

Qin Kun stared wide-eyed as if he'd heard something utterly unbelievable, his voice rising several decibels, "You're only eighteen, bro! You just spent over forty million at an auction without even blinking! And now you're thinking of starting an investment company? Are you kidding us?"

His words were filled with disbelief.

Opening an investment company?

That's not as simple as just opening a bubble tea shop!

Although Fang Yu didn't speak, his eyes also flashed with intense shock and curiosity.

He had guessed that Ye Fan's family was wealthy, but not to this extent?

Having just squandered over 40 million in cash, he's already talking about investing in companies?

This completely exceeded his understanding of what a "freshman" should be.

What is an investment company?

That's a behemoth that requires massive amounts of real money and profound resources to support it!

Without hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars in cash flow as a foundation, who would dare to get involved so easily?

Ye Fan's family wealth is astonishingly substantial!
