There are already many people sitting at the auction venue.
Those who came from the VIP room were all dignitaries with status, and their seats were arranged near the front.
When Fang Lin and others sat down in groups of twos and threes, the auction was about to begin.
This auction is one of the largest in Handong Province, otherwise it would not be possible for the leaders of the four wealthy groups to gather together.
Under the professional guidance of the auctioneer, many lots were put on the market one by one.
These auctions are of various types, with high value and high prices, and there are almost no unsold items.
Even though Fang Lin has no interest in collecting antiques, he still takes a closer look at these auction items, which is an eye-opener.
The authentic Tang Yin painting that Fang Lin sent for auction was placed in the middle and was finally sold for 14 million.
Seeing that this painting had been sold for 14 million yuan, most of the people who had learned about what had happened in the VIP room burst into laughter, which made Jiang Junchen's face extremely ugly.
Especially when he turned around and found Fang Linzheng and Long Qiangwei whispering and laughing to each other, Jiang Junchen was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.
"That painting was originally Jiang Junchen's? No wonder he insulted Master Zou angrily."
Long Qiangwei smiled and shook her head. It had been a long time since she had seen Jiang Junchen deflate one after another.
Especially since he was still defeated by Fang Lin one after another, Long Qiangwei believed even more that Jiang Junchen would never give up.
Fang Lin smiled faintly and didn't care. He and Jiang Junchen had already become enemies anyway, and the two of them would have a fight sooner or later. It didn't matter how many times they offended him.
The auction continued, and after a while, the staff brought up a bronze tripod that smelled of simplicity.
Seeing this bronze tripod, Fang Lin's eyes suddenly lit up.
At the same time, Jiang Junchen, Ren Xun and others seemed to be interested after seeing the bronze tripod again.
What really interested Fang Lin was not the bronze tripod, but the bronze base that held the bronze tripod.
He clearly felt a holy aura from the base. As expected, that inconspicuous base was most likely a magic weapon.
Judging from the aura on it, it is inferred that this magical weapon should belong to Buddhism and is of great use in warding off evil spirits and suppressing demons.
"This is a bronze tripod unearthed from the Qin Dynasty. The tripod is 61 centimeters high and weighs 214 kilograms. According to the unearthed data, it is most likely the one that Xiang Yu lifted the tripod."
The auctioneer pointed to the bronze tripod and introduced it to everyone: "Of course, this statement cannot be verified, but the bronze tripod of this size, known as the Jiuzhou tripod, had extraordinary significance in the Qin Dynasty...
The starting price of this bronze tripod is 8.5 million, you can bid."
There seemed to be quite a few people at the venue who were interested in this bronze tripod. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, several people started bidding one after another.
Seeing that everyone's bidding slowed down, Ren Xun smiled and held up the sign and quoted a high price: "17 million."
After his offer, many people accepted the offer and decided to continue bidding.
As the leader of Tianyu Group, Ren Xun has a distinguished position, and no one is willing to disgrace him.
But everyone present did not necessarily have to sell Ren Xun's face. Just when everyone thought that Ren Xun would take this bronze tripod for 17 million, they saw Jiang Junchen holding up a sign: "18 million!"
After quoting the price, he glanced back at Ren Xun provocatively and said in a low voice: "My old man likes Qin Dynasty objects the most. I like this tripod very much. I want to order it!"
This sentence seemed to be spoken to Ma Zhiguang next to him, but in fact half of the people in the venue could hear it.
Ma Zhiguang looked directly at Ren Xun, raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Ren, Mr. Chen has come all the way and is an honored guest from our Handong Province. It would be a bit impersonal if you keep arguing with him."
A look of disgust flashed in Ren Xun's eyes, but he didn't show it. He smiled lightly and said: "Since Mr. Ma has said so, I won't take away from others, old man. I don't want this bronze tripod."
Ma Zhiguang couldn't help but smile proudly when he heard this. Although he and Ren Xun had the same status, he felt very comfortable that Ren Xun could sell his face in such a public place.
Even Ren Xun withdrew from the bidding, and everyone thought that the bronze tripod already belonged to Jiang Junchen.
But just when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, he heard a bid sound again.
"19 million."
The person holding the sign was none other than Fang Lin.
"This gentleman bids 19 million. Is there any increase in price?" The auctioneer put away his hammer with a smile on his face.
For a moment, everyone looked sideways.
Long Qiangwei asked in a funny and surprised tone: "Do you also like this bronze tripod? Or do you mean to raise the price with Jiang Junchen on purpose?"
Not only Long Qiangwei was curious about this question, but others were also a little curious. They all pricked up their ears and wanted to hear Fang Lin's answer.
Then Fang Lin smiled and said: "I just like this bronze tripod. Anyway, I just sold a painting and made more than 10 million. I took pictures for fun."
puff!
Many people laughed out loud.
Fang Lin made more than 10 million by reselling a painting. He picked it up from Jiang Junchen. Now he is using this money to bid for a bronze tripod with Jiang Junchen. It's funny to think that.
Jiang Junchen's face turned terribly dark. He suspected that Fang Lin was deliberately going against him! xdw8
With a snort, he looked coldly at Fang Lin and held up the sign again: "20 million!"
Jiang Junchen had stopped talking just now. He wanted to decide on this bronze tripod. And now, even if it wasn't for the bronze tripod, he had to fight for it.
If Fang Lin lets Fang Lin race away from his hands again with this bronze tripod, he will be in great disgrace!
Fang Lin didn't show any weakness and followed the bidding. The two raised their bid by one million to one million, and soon they reached 30 million.
At this time, everyone also felt a hint of gunpowder smoke from the two of them.
Thirty million, for that bronze tripod, is far beyond its own value.
When it was Fang Lin's turn to bid again, Fang Lin finally stopped.
Then he raised his eyebrows, hooked his hand towards Wei Tingxuan, and whispered a few words in Wei Tingxuan's ear.
Wei Tingxuan nodded, left his seat and walked to the staff next to the front desk.
During this process, Jiang Junchen urged impatiently: "What are you waiting for? If you can't afford it, just say it. Don't waste everyone's time!"
The auctioneer also said: "Mr. Fang, do you still bid? If you don't bid, this bronze tripod will be sold to Mr. Jiang for 30 million."
Fang Lin apologized: "I'm sorry, please wait a moment."
After saying that, he looked at Wei Tingxuan. He saw that Wei Tingxuan didn't know what he said to the staff. After a moment, he turned to Fang Lin and made an OK gesture, nodding slightly.
Fang Lin understood, smiled and said to the auctioneer: "I don't want this bronze tripod anymore, let's give it to Mr. Jiang."
The auctioneer smiled and dropped the hammer, and the bronze tripod belonged to Jiang Junchen.
Jiang Junchen immediately sneered triumphantly and pretended to be pretentious. Don't you have the money to compete with me?
Even if this country bumpkin made more than 10 million yuan by taking advantage of him, he is still far from being able to compete with him in terms of financial resources!
