Fierce Competition!

If they really followed the auction house's requirements, Chen Mo would have already returned from the next world a month later, and the time in between the two worlds would have been completely wasted.

Therefore, Chen Mo would never agree to it. For a little bit of insignificant money, Chen Mo would rather just take out his Iron Man suit and rob a bank.

The auction house was helpless. No matter how they tried to persuade him, Chen Mo wouldn't budge. You see, the jewelry and antiques Chen Mo brought out were extremely valuable. If they weren't properly promoted and the auction price was affected, the difference would be in the hundreds of millions!

For most people, let alone a month, even half a year or a year would be considered too short a preparation time. But Chen Mo acted as if he were selling cabbages, not caring about a few cents. He couldn't wait to sell them all and go home.

Under Chen Mo's strong threat to switch to another auction house if he didn't agree, the auction house finally had no choice but to reluctantly agree, and the auction would begin three days later.

Ignoring their pained expressions, Chen Mo settled the auction arrangements and returned directly to the hotel, leaving the auction house staff to frantically begin promotional work, hoping to attract enough clients within the next three days to minimize losses.

The auction was arranged, and Chen Mo only needed to wait for the auction to end in three days to collect the money. However, he didn't stay idle these few days; instead, he started searching for suitable properties and companies through J.A.R.V.I.S..

According to his plan, he will stay here for a considerable period of time. Naturally, he cannot stay in the hotel forever and will need to own his own property. The company is the first step in building his own power, and he needs to have some of his own businesses. He cannot rely solely on selling antiques and jewelry to make money.

With J.A.R.V.I.S. around, many things are much easier to do. Chen Mo only needs to state his requirements, and J.A.R.V.I.S. can find all the suitable candidates for him and provide corresponding analysis and recommendations, making the advantages and disadvantages clear at a glance, which saves Chen Mo a lot of effort.

With J.A.R.V.I.S., Chen Mo didn't even need to visit the site in person. Through satellites, surveillance, and various video materials and information found online, Chen Mo could clearly and comprehensively understand the actual situation of each object, even more clearly than if he had gone to the site in person. After all, many things cannot be known simply by going to see them.

Soon, Chen Mo selected a property he really liked and a suitable company. He just needed to wait for the auction money to arrive so he could buy them directly.

Three days later, the auction began.

The auction house went to great lengths, notifying almost all the well-known wealthy individuals, especially those interested in jewelry and antiques. Chen Mo's rare and top-quality jewelry and antiques did indeed attract a lot of interest, and many people, even those who were far away or unable to attend, sent their subordinates to attend.

The scale of this impromptu auction was no less than that of the spring and autumn auctions of previous years, and the atmosphere was quite lively. However, Chen Mo, the owner of all the items in this auction, did not attend the event in person.

The jewelry and antiques that Chen Mo put up for auction were rare and priceless treasures to others, but in Chen Mo's eyes they were just items to exchange for funds, so he didn't care much about them. He just waited for the auction to end and for him to get the money so he could carry out his plan.

The auction went very smoothly. The rare and magnificent medieval jewelry, antiques, rare gems, and colored diamonds that Chen Mo brought out sparked tremendous enthusiasm among the wealthy attendees, who vied for the bids. The atmosphere at the auction was extremely heated, with the price of each item soaring. The lowest-priced item sold for over ten million US dollars, while the most expensive set of magnificent medieval royal jewelry fetched a record-breaking price of ninety-five million US dollars after being contested by several members of Europe and Arab royal families.

This is actually quite normal. Given Chen Mo's status in both worlds, every piece he can collect into his space is a rare treasure. If he didn't want to be too ostentatious, Chen Mo could easily acquire even top national treasures like the Mona Lisa or the Last Supper.

However, these items are too conspicuous and would attract too much attention. Also, apart from those that have been stolen, lost, or are missing, many of them are displayed in major museums. If Chen Mo were to take out another one, it would only be considered a fake.

However, Chen Mo still has a few oil paintings in his space, such as "Sunflowers" and "The Starry Night," which he likes and plans to hang in his house for his own enjoyment in the future.

After the auction, the funds were quickly transferred to Chen Mo's account. The jewelry and antiques he casually took out, which he himself didn't even think much of, brought him a huge sum of nearly 2.3 billion US dollars. Although this was nothing compared to the vast wealth he controlled in the movie world, it provided him with ample financial support for his first step in development in the real world.

As soon as the money arrived, Chen Mo immediately had J.A.R.V.I.S. buy the property and company he had already set his sights on.

Chen Mo didn't even need to show up; J.A.R.V.I.S. had already contacted the relevant personnel. Chen Mo only needed to sign the contract documents, and he didn't need to worry about any other procedures, as professionals would take care of everything.

After checking out of the hotel, Chen Mo walked to the secluded alleyway he had visited before and took out the Harley Street 750 motorcycle from his spatial storage.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With a deep, powerful engine roar, a stylish black motorcycle sped out from a side alley.

"Squeak!--"

After bursting out of the alley, the motorcycle's front wheel veered sharply to the right, while the rear wheel continued to surge forward, causing the entire vehicle to spin ninety degrees and turn its front towards the right.

After quickly completing the turn, the motorcycle roared to life again, unleashing its powerful horsepower and rapidly increasing its speed. It sped along the road, nimbly overtaking speeding cars, and soon disappeared into the distant traffic.

Chen Mo drove his motorcycle at high speed, quickly leaving the city and continuing north along the Coastal Highway 1.

Chen Mo was heading to the new home he had just bought, which now belonged to him.

Once outside downtown Los Angeles, the scenery along the road gradually changed. All the tall buildings disappeared, and as Chen Mo drove further and further away, even the human population gradually thinned out. Apart from the occasional car that Chen Mo overtook, there was no one else in sight.

All that remains is the long highway stretching into the distance along the coastline, along with the waves, beaches, and dense forests on either side.
