Chapter 189: Price gouging, some are happy and some are worried
"Everyone has finished looking at the lots and I believe you have made your own judgment. The auction is now starting. The starting price is two thousand yuan. Each increase in price must not be less than two hundred yuan. Please start!"
Qi Linger's voice was as gentle as a lark.
As soon as she banged the hammer, people started bidding.
"Two thousand two!"
"Two thousand six!"
"Three thousand two!"
…
Soon, the price exceeded 3,000.
Obviously, everyone thinks that this ancient bronze lamp is authentic, and it is also an extremely rare treasure.
I would have known that bronzes generally cannot be traded, but with the reputation of Nandu Auction, as long as it can be taken out, it must have come through formal channels.
That's why everyone bid so crazy.
"four thousand!"
Hu Zhengsheng finally started bidding.
He Jincheng secretly smiled in his heart. Sure enough, Hu Zhengsheng was determined to get that ancient bronze lamp.
If that's the case, then I won't be polite.
Next, Hu Zhengsheng made several bids one after another.
This ancient bronze lamp was directly added to more than 6,000.
This price is already not low, even Hu Zhengsheng is a little stressed.
However, as long as you can get this object, it will all be worth it.
He Jincheng also found that none of the big shots in the boxes on the second floor made bids, which also surprised He Jincheng.
"Six thousand eight!"
Hu Zhengsheng gritted his teeth again and agreed on a price.
The venue suddenly became quiet.
This price is overdue for many people.
After a long silence, someone gritted his teeth and raised his placard to bid.
"My last bid is seven thousand two thousand. If anyone bids more than me, I will give up the bid!"
A balding middle-aged man held up a sign and said through gritted teeth.
Obviously, this price is extremely high for him.
"Seven thousand five!"
Hu Zhengsheng was about to curse the bald middle-aged man to death, but there was no other way. At this point, he couldn't just give up.
Seeing that Hu Zhengsheng offered a high price of seven thousand five thousand, the bald middle-aged man shook his head and stopped bidding.
He just likes this ancient bronze lamp, but he doesn't have to have it.
The price of 7,500 was too high, so I had to give up.
Hu Zhengsheng was so proud that he felt that this ancient bronze lamp already belonged to him.
"Master Hu bids 7,500, is there any higher price? This is a rare treasure that is rare to find. I hope everyone will bid enthusiastically!"
Qi Linger smiled and spoke.
This price is actually very high.
However, out of professional habit, Qi Linger still wanted to ask again. The higher the price, the better.
But with the current high price, naturally no one will bid again.
"Seven thousand five times!"
"Seven thousand five times!"
"Seven thousand five..."
"Eight thousand dollars!"
Just when Qi Linger raised the wooden hammer, a voice broke the silence.
Everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from, with strange expressions on their faces.
After seeing who the bidder was, Hu Zhengsheng's face became even more ugly.
The bidder was none other than He Jincheng.
The price of the painting before was doubled by Hu Zhengsheng. How could He Jincheng let Hu Zhengsheng take this ancient bronze lamp so comfortably? If he didn't give him a hard time, he would be very sorry for himself.
Hu Zhengsheng's eyes were full of viciousness, and he wanted to rush over and strangle He Jincheng to death right now.
"Eight thousand and five"
Hu Zhengsheng gritted his teeth and made his bid.
He was determined to get this ancient bronze lamp, not to mention that there was a kid like He Jincheng who was causing trouble with him.
So I immediately added five hundred.
"Nine thousand!"
He Jincheng said lightly.
How sophisticated he is, and the more careless he is, the more people like Hu Zhengsheng won't be convinced on dates.
"Nine thousand and five! Boy, you are deliberately going against me, aren't you?"
Hu Zhengsheng's face turned dark.
Originally it could be won with 7,500 yuan, but He Jincheng's trouble would cost at least 2,000 yuan more.
"Haha, Mr. Hu is so generous, let's get something big, just in case!"
He Jincheng laughed and directly added a thousand and five.
Hu Zheng's forehead exploded with anger, this He Jincheng was really abominable.
Of course he knew that He Jincheng was deliberately raising the price, but he had no choice. How could he let He Jincheng, a bastard, sit on his head and shit?
No, absolutely not!
"Twelve thousand!"
As Hu Zhengsheng's quotation was shouted out, the entire venue was in an uproar.
We are all experts. The maximum value of this so-called ancient bronze lamp is not more than 15,000. Spending 12,000 to buy this is really not attractive to them, and it also carries a lot of risks.
Unless you are a collector of bronzes, and after identification, this thing is 100% authentic.
"Haha, it seems that Mr. Hu really likes this object, so I'll give it to you!"
He Jincheng laughed, and if he continued to increase the price, he would probably shoot himself in the foot.
He Jincheng only has more than 3,000 yuan in his pocket now. If Hu Zhengsheng simply stops bidding, he will be the unlucky one.
Since he had no money, he deliberately raised the price of the auction items and broke the rules of the auction. He was afraid that he would not be able to leave Nandu Manor today.
Moreover, the price of 12,000 yuan was considered a huge loss for Hu Zhengsheng.
"He Jincheng, I and you are at odds with each other!"
Hu Zhengsheng gritted his teeth and roared, wishing he could drink He Jincheng's blood and eat He Jincheng's flesh.
He Jincheng shrugged, saying this as if he and he would be good friends.
"Haha, Mr. Hu, don't forget our bet. You will kneel down and apologize to me later!"
He Jincheng chuckled.
"Fart, you want to win against me? Wishful thinking! Even if my bid for this ancient bronze lamp is a bit high, the valuation can reach 15,000 yuan. This is a profit difference of 3,000 yuan. How much does your shabby painting cost?"
If you want to compare with me for money, are you worthy?"
Hu Zhengsheng said with a sneer.
In his opinion, He Jincheng had lost. He seemed to have seen He Jincheng kneeling in front of him and begging for mercy!
"Haha, let's wait and see!"
He Jincheng smiled faintly, wondering if Hu Zhengsheng would cry later!
Seeing He Jincheng so calm, Hu Zhengsheng couldn't help but feel a little foreboding in his heart, but he quickly rejected his thoughts. This He Jincheng was just a boy. How could a broken painting be compared with his ancient bronze lamp?
Well, there is absolutely no way that I can lose.
Next, the auction will continue.
Hu Zhengsheng made a few more bids, but each time He Jincheng would raise the price. However, He Jincheng's bids were more conservative the next few times, and he would withdraw from the bidding when he felt that it was about the same.
Hu Zhengsheng tried to punish He Jincheng several times, but failed. He was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.
After almost an hour, the auction was finally over.
