In a span of two days, the news of Luo Feng’s intention to sell gold had reached the entire world.

The haste, however, might have restricted some from reaching the sale in time. Luo Feng, indifferent to this, knew his primary target was not international.

The Tsarist gold, intrinsically, held a value beyond its weight. Each gold bar bore the emblem of the double-headed eagle. As collectibles alone, the price was sure to soar. But the colossal volume of gold meant not all of it could possibly double in price. After all, the sheer quantity was overwhelming.

Luo Feng was aware that among the potential gold buyers, collectors would surely constitute a minority. The news had hit hard for the Emperor of the Cherry Blossom Country. Upon hearing of it, he issued a statement that night claiming the gold belonged to their nation, and no one could lay a finger on it, let alone sell it. He stated that the Cherry Blossom Country was in the process of sanctioning Luo Feng.

That night, the online world was abuzz with chatter. The world watched eagerly, wondering whether Luo Feng would face sanctions, and whether the Cherry Blossom Country could win this legal battle. Simultaneously, the Tsar also issued a statement, asserting the gold had been swindled from them by the Cherry Blossom Country in the past and thus did not belong to them. Moreover, he demanded its return if it was taken.

Of course, the Cherry Blossom Country had a retort, arguing that the situation pertained to a bygone era, and they had transitioned from being Tsarist Russia to modern-day Russia. Luo Feng, however, was too preoccupied to pay attention to the overseas commotion.

In two days, he had arranged everything. The Jiangnan Grand Hotel had been cleared to accommodate Luo Feng’s needs. The team brought by Qin Rubing, hired at a handsome price, comprised of auction experts. Qin Rubing declined the payment, citing their relationship. In response, Luo Feng kissed her in gratitude. For some reason, he particularly enjoyed this method of expressing gratitude.

Under great anticipation, at eight in the morning, Luo Feng, along with his three beauties and some rich second-generation friends, arrived at the hotel conference room after breakfast. Taking the VIP passage, they were devoid of any irrelevant company.

The sight of the elevator was bustling. Inside and out, it was filled with people.

When they reached the conference room, it was bursting at the seams. Journalists and media people filled the area to the brim. Internet celebrities, bloggers, and major influencers had all gathered for the excitement.

Luo Feng initiated the livestream, walking into the conference room. The audience had long awaited this day’s broadcast. Millions rushed in at the beginning, which was simply an overwhelming response.

“The day has finally arrived. With so much gold, I have a feeling it won’t sell out!”

“How could it not sell out? You’re overthinking. I estimate it will be snapped up in a jiff!”

“These gold bars have inherent value and could even be considered half antiques!”

Within the conference room, the crowd discussed the gold auction, everyone optimistic about the spectacle.

“Little Luo, you’re going to make a fortune this time!” Suddenly, an old friend arrived at the backstage of the conference room. This man was Wang Yousheng, the expert who had initially appraised the porcelain.

“Hahaha, Master Wang? It’s alright, just the usual!” Luo Feng gave a cheerful laugh and went over to greet him. Wang Yousheng was filled with emotion. He remembered the first time he met Luo Feng, who had only discovered an ancient village worth a few hundred million yuan. Over half a year, this young man’s assets had grown to several hundred billion. With the sale of such a vast amount of gold, Luo Feng was destined to be a trillionaire.

“Today, many heavy hitters have arrived!” Wang Yousheng started.

“Who are these heavy hitters?” Luo Feng was surprised, wondering who could earn such a label from Wang Yousheng.

“Wall Street, J.P. Morgan, HSBC!” Wang Yousheng began.

“Moreover, several jewelry shop owners have arrived. Given the volume of gold and the number of interested nations, it’s uncertain if there’s enough to go around!”

“Oh, by the way, I also plan to buy a few gold bars for my collection. Hahaha!”

The gold from the Tsarist era was a desirable collectible due to its significance.

Luo Feng chatted with Wang Yousheng for a while until the clock struck nine. Qin Rubing then took the stage. In a red cheongsam that barely hid her long legs, she aroused the desires of the men below.

A few bosses commented on the auctioneer’s appeal and planned to get to know her later, but upon hearing that she might be Luo Feng’s woman, they dismissed the thought. After all, those in the know understood Luo Feng’s standing as a darling of the national officials, and no one dared to offend him. They could only gaze at such a beauty and sigh, imagining the taste of those red lips when kissing.

“Please, everyone, take your seats!”

“Today, I am here on behalf of Mr. Luo to auction gold, a total of five hundred tons!”

“This batch of gold, after verification, is from the Tsarist era, with a purity of approximately ninety-nine percent..”
