    The entry requirement for Jiqingtang is set at RMB 10 billion, which is roughly equivalent to US$1.6 billion.


    While that seems like an enormous sum, statistics reveal that there are nearly 3,000 wealthy individuals worldwide whose assets surpass this threshold.


    Additionally, there are likely many hidden billionaires who choose not to publicly disclose their wealth.<fn5ad1> Original content can be found at f?ndnovel</fn5ad1>


    Given these facts, Charlie wasn’t at all shocked that 500 people registered within just two hours.


    Meanwhile, at home, ine and Jacob were reacting with frustration to the news about this auction.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    When ine stumbled upon the news on her phone, she eximed without a second thought, “Can you believe this Jiqingtang? Have they lost their minds? A broken auction with a registration threshold of 10 billion assets? Seriously? Who would be so arrogant?”


    In Jacob’s mind, Ji Qingtang had always been a source of anxiety.


    He recalled the time he identally broke a vase at Jiqingtang, which nearly gave him a heart attack.


    After managing to shift the me onto Charlie and making a hasty exit, he ended up feeling embarrassed when people confronted himter.


    So when he heard the news, he immediately expressed his irritation: “What’s with this Jiqingtang? They’re just trying to create hype! I’ve been in the antiques business in Aurous Hill for years, and I can tell you, what level is Jiqingtang even at? They can’t evenpare to top firms like Christie’s and Sotheby’s. Even our local Poly is leagues ahead of them!”


    He continued with disdain, “Sotheby’s and Christie’s don’t make a big deal out of capital verification. You can participate in their auctions with just a million-dor deposit. But Jiqingtang thinks they can set a 10 billion threshold? That’s absurd!”


    ine nodded in agreement, then squinted and wondered, “Could it be that this rejuvenation pill is something special?”


    Jacob scoffed, “What’s so special about it? Are they iming it can make you fly? Even if it were an Angong Niuhuang Pill, it wouldn’t be worth more than hundreds of thousands. I think they’re just trying to generate buzz. Jiqingtang has been around for years without making any waves; this time, they probably want to attract attention using some dubious tactics.”


    ine concurred, “You’re right; it’s probably just like that inte celebrity who imed to have unparalleled intelligence and went abroad for manicures.”


    Jacob chuckled, “I thought Jasmine had real skills, but it turns out she’s just resorting to such low-level tricks. It’s quite surprising.”


    Then he turned to Charlie, “By the way, Charlie, aren’t you familiar with Jasmine? She partnered with you for auctions before and sent you an invitation letter. Did she mention anything about this auction?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “I don’t have any business dealings with Miss Moore, and there’s no need for her to discuss anything with me.”


    Jacob, looking serious, said, “Aren’t you the Master Wade among the wealthy in Aurous Hill? Before they make decisions, don’t they consult you for fortune-telling or Feng Shui? I remember someone asked you to check their house before.”


    Realizing the implications, Jacob eximed, “Wait… Charlie… Are you a fortune teller?”


    ine quickly interjected, “My son-inw, are you really doing this? Will people spend millions to have you check Feng Shui?”


    Noticing their anxiousness, Charlie shook his head and chuckled, “My main focus isn’t on fortune-telling. As you know, Feng Shui involves looking at real locations, like ancestral graves, homes, and offices. Jasmine just trusts my insights; it’s unlikely she’d discuss any specific business matters with me.”


    Jacob nodded, understanding, “That makes sense…”


    He then eagerly asked, “By the way, Charlie, could you ask Jasmine whether this auction is genuine or just a publicity stunt? If it’s real, see if you can get an invitation for me. I want to see who the fool is that shows up.”


    Charlie casually replied, “It’s probably just a marketing gimmick, Dad. Don’t worry about it. By the way, how’s your Calligraphy and Painting Association doing?”


    “Very well!” Jacob replied enthusiastically. “Our association is gaining more influence in the city, and we’re about to coborate with the city on cultural promotion activities. Our city has a friendly rtionship with Daejeon in South Korea, and there are ns for a cultural exchange event soon. If everything goes as nned, I’ll take you along when the timees.”


    Upon hearing this, ine’s excitement was palpable as she eximed, “Jacob, are you really going to Korea for this exchange?”


    Jacob, sensing a potential jab from ine, defensively replied, “Why not? I’m Jacob, the vice president of the association—second inmand!”<h2 ss="wp-block-heading">The Amazing son inw Chapter 3953</h2><h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading"><strong></strong>
