Back at the bidding meeting, the beautiful female host was already shouting out the bids, and some of the guests in the audience were bidding and watching.
There were also many people who took the initiative to come up and say hello to Gu.
"Mr. Gu, your presence today really makes the bidding meeting brilliant!"
"This is the girl next to you, the rising star in the jade world, right?"
"Mr. Gu, I have purchased several new paintings and calligraphy. Can you please appreciate them and appreciate them?"
With an old-fashioned polite smile, he declined them all.
He leaned close to Jiang Yun's ear and lowered his voice and said: "People who take the initiative to flatter you like this are probably up to no good. When the bidding is over, I will introduce you and Xiao Wei to some old friends."
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded.
As the items were taken away one by one, it was finally Lu's turn to show up.
"Everyone, this is an ancient book. Although it is only half a fragment, its historical value..."
The host introduced Lu's book eloquently: "...Experts and scholars who like to collect ancient documents can bid now, with a minimum price of two hundred."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a young man wearing a baseball cap and toad glasses coming outside the venue.
His clothes were bright and fashionable, and the gold chain around his neck and the gold watch on his hand were even more sparkling. At first glance, he looked like a wealthy nouveau riche.
There were two fierce-looking bodyguards standing to the left and right of this person, who aggressively fended off everyone as soon as he entered the room.
Everyone speculated about the origin of this unfamiliar face, and then the bodyguard on the side announced the door to his house in a loud voice.
"This is the Third Master of Heaven and Earth!"
!!!
When they heard the words "Heaven and Earth are connected", everyone was in an uproar.
This third master is a new big shot in the antique world!
Under the gaze of everyone, he found a seat in the corner and sat down.
Jiang Yun and Wei Tu always felt that this person looked familiar, but they couldn't remember who it was for a while.
"Okay, please bring your attention back to our stage. The current bidding is for half a fragment of Lu's book. The base price is two hundred. If you are interested..."
Before the female host finished speaking, she heard the loud-voiced bodyguard shout: "Five hundred!"
After hearing the bidding, Jiang Yun realized that she was here to take a photo of this ancient book today.
She immediately followed suit and raised the sign: "Six hundred!"
Tang Xiaosan curled up his lips, sneered, and gestured to the bodyguard with his finger, then heard the bodyguard holding up a sign and shouting: "Ten thousand!"
!!!
It suddenly jumped from 600 to 10,000, and everyone's eyes turned to Tang Xiaosan.
Wei Tu also turned away to look at him.
In an instant, the two looked at each other!
Although the other party was wearing dark sunglasses and could not see his eyes clearly, the raised corners of his mouth always made Wei Tu feel that there was a hint of provocation.
He frowned and had a question in his mind.
Could this person be “them”?!
At this time, Jiang Yun also frowned and looked downcast. This book was related to her life and fortune. No matter how expensive it was, she had to take it.
She raised her hand again: "Ten thousand and one hundred!"
If you add it to 1,000, you can save a little bit. Besides, no one stipulates that you can't increase the price like this!
Tang Xiaosan leaned back on the chair and crossed his legs.
When he heard the price of 10,000, he sneered from his nose and said in a voice that only he could hear clearly: "Humph, here we go again."
He gestured to the bodyguard a few times, and then he heard a loud shout: "Twenty thousand!"
At this moment, Tang Xiaosan was extremely proud and wanted to increase the amount little by little, but there was no way!
He insists on shouting ten thousand to ten thousand! Let’s see how long these two people can hold on! Anyway, it’s not their own money they spent, so no matter how much they shout, it doesn’t hurt!
Gu Gu looked at the two anxious young people beside him, frowned and asked: "Do you like this ancient book very much? It is better than this. I have many at home, so there is no need to compete with others."
Besides, the price of 20,000 is really not worth it!
Now the expressions of the two of them were even uglier. They had their own reasons for eagerly wanting this book, but it was difficult for them to say these words.
Jiang Yun rolled her eyes and smiled sloppily: "Teacher, I have a special eye for this book. As you know, my intuition is always very accurate!"
Gu Gu looked at her thoughtfully: "Okay, since it's your favorite, no matter how expensive it is, let's take the photo."
Jiang Yun smiled and nodded, raising her hand again: "Twenty thousand and one hundred!"
Wei Tu leaned close to her ear and asked in a low voice: "I came back with 30,000 yuan, what about you?"
Jiang Yun choked, thinking only about bidding, forgetting that she didn't have much money, and said, "I'm about the same as you."
Who knew that a book with a base price of 200 would be sold for 20,000!
And judging from the fact that the other party is determined to win, they may not be able to win it even with their combined money.
Tang Xiaosan felt very happy when he saw the two of them frowning. He didn't expect that just tens of thousands of dollars would put the other party in trouble. Money can do anything!
The bodyguard came over and said, "Boss, do you want to continue shouting?"
Tang Xiaosan snorted coldly: "Why are you so anxious? After the host shouts three times in a row, if you raise the price, I will tease them!"
"good!"
After Jiang Yun's bid ended, no one raised the price again.
The host kept shouting: "Twenty thousand and one hundred, does anyone want to increase the price?"
The scene was completely silent. When Jiang Yun saw this, she breathed a long sigh of relief. This response should be stable.
After the host asked several times, he began to count down three times: "Twenty thousand and one hundred, the first time..."
Every time she shouted, Jiang Yun and Wei Tu's hearts felt like a roller coaster, rising high and falling heavily.
Finally the third shout came.
"Twenty thousand and one hundred, third..."
Before he could say the second word, he was interrupted.
"Our third master said, one hundred thousand!"
Wei Tu and Jiang Yun turned around and saw the third master smiling, clasping his hands and bowing to them, as if to express his gratitude.
Jiang Yun's anger suddenly rose, thinking that this person was making a fool of herself!
Wei Tu held her down and persuaded her in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive. If you go forward and argue with someone now, others will only think that the little lady cannot afford to lose, and you will also lose Uncle Gu's face."
Hearing this, Jiang Yun calmed down and almost got confused!
She took a deep breath, calmed her mind, turned back to face the third master with a sweet smile, and mouthed: "You're welcome."
He was polite yet elegant, and his manners were generous, which impressed many people present.
Gu Gu patted her hand with satisfaction: "Neither arrogant nor arrogant, and no heart for gain or loss. You are worthy of being my favored disciple!"
Jiang Yunqiang cheered up and responded with a smile.
But I secretly comforted myself that although I failed to bid successfully, I at least knew who owned the half of the book.
Now that the enemy is clear and we are hidden, as long as we keep an eye on the movements of this third master, we might be able to resolve the crisis.
Having captured what he wanted, Tang Xiaosan stood up proudly and raised his chin condescendingly to look at Wei Tu.
He didn't say a word, only raised the corners of his mouth with a cold and sinister smile, turned around, and left with the people.
