"Haha, it looks good now. If he raises the price, it will be a fool's errand."
"I really don't know what his background is. He actually raised the price like this. I can guarantee that he is not from an ordinary background."
"It's not an ordinary background? But what he's wearing..."
"People should not be judged by their appearance. This is called keeping a low profile. If you check what you are wearing, it will cost you 100 million to open your mouth. Even if some of us can afford it, I'm afraid they won't."
"Yes, even if I come across a treasure, I won't spend so much money. After all, collecting is just for fun, and I don't intend to play with my family wealth."
"So, for that young man, this little money is far away from his family's financial resources!"
Mr. Tong frowned and looked at Lin Zichen. It was obvious that Lin Zichen's price increase this time made him extremely unhappy.
If the blood crystal can be given away, then the cold iron cauldron is definitely not allowed. Not only does he plan to use the cold iron cauldron to make tens of millions of profits, but if he can't buy it, he won't be able to explain it when he goes back. After all, he can't buy the cold iron cauldron.
The superior’s instructions to him!
While he was in a daze, Guo Zhigang came over in person.
After all, this matter is not trivial. The Fang family has already announced that they want this tripod, and the current price has exceeded 100 million. He must personally explain to Mr. Tong that Chen Feng is not qualified.
"Mr. Tong, I think I need to talk to you."
Mr. Tong turned his head and saw President Guo. Although he felt unhappy, he did not get angry. After all, he and Chen Feng were different. There was a huge difference between the chief and the deputy.
"President Guo?"
"Haha, yes, Mr. Tong, you also know that the person sitting over there is the daughter of the Dongjiang Fang family," Guo Zhigang said with some embarrassment, "She also plans to participate in the bidding, so if there is another bidding between you, I can only
keep neutral."
"But... President Guo, didn't we agree before? And if I hadn't asked you to spend 60 million to buy this tripod, it would never have been put on the auction block," Mr. Tong said.
"Yes, Mr. Tong, you are right, but we didn't know that such a thing would happen. Everything Miss Fang is interested in this time is what you want. If this tripod is not put on the auction, we can discuss everything easily."
, but now that it’s up, we can’t help but let people bid, right?”
"Huh, I don't care about that. That's your business, President Guo. I will continue to increase the price now. After the auction, you must sell it at the original price."
"This...Mr. Tong, we will be in a very difficult situation, because once the Fang family knows about it, we will no longer be involved in the auction industry. Although they are far away in Dongjiang, they plan to report this matter and bring it to justice. That is definitely not the case."
It's difficult." Guo Zhigang said.
Mr. Tong stared: "Aren't you afraid that I will expose this matter?"
"Mr. Tong, I hope you understand that we are not saying that we want to help the Fang family, we just want to be fair and just. I believe that even the official will not deal with us." Hearing this, Guo Zhigang also became serious.
What he said was right. If he sold it to Mr. Tong at the original price after the auction, once the Fang family reported it or exposed it, just checking the accounts would be enough for him, Guo Zhigang, to drink.
But if he goes back on his word now and changes to a fair auction, even if Mr. Tong exposes him, it will not damage the image of Jinkang Auction House.
"You..." Mr. Tong narrowed his eyes slightly, "Haha, President Guo, it seems that we can no longer cooperate in the future."
"I'm sorry Mr. Tong, I can't ruin the auction house just because of cooperation. If this disappoints you, then I can only apologize."
After saying that, Guo Zhigang left.
Mr. Tong clenched his fists and thought, Damn it... Huh, forget it, at worst I won't make this money, but I want to see if your Fang family plans to use their wealth to fight with me!
But a question suddenly came to his mind, that is...is this tripod really what the Fang family wants?
Or... did the young man want it, including the blood crystal? Although he didn't know the reason, he always felt that the young man was very extraordinary, and the Fang family was just helping out.
"One hundred and twenty million!"
Thinking of this, Mr. Tong increased the price again.
The previous price increase of one million per lot has now been defaulted to 10 million per lot. Every time the price is increased, almost everyone present will feel a tremor.
After all, opening your mouth means ten million.
The previously quiet auction hall has become a bit lively. With Mr. Tong's increase in price, many people have already shouted "Okay."
On the surface, they are competing for the Stone Cauldron, but in reality it is also a competition of masculinity. They have already shouted 100 million, and everyone knows that neither of these two people will back down easily.
"One hundred and three hundred million!" Lin Zichen waved his hand and shouted.
Compared with Mr. Tong's aggressive price increase, Lin Zichen seemed extremely indifferent, but the more he acted like this, the more invisible aura he showed.
One hundred and three words came out of his mouth so easily that everyone present was doubting the true identity of this young man.
Including Guo Zhigang, they also feel that Lin Zichen is not simple.
He even began to feel that this bidding might not be simple at all. It was not between the Fang family and Mr. Tong at all. The young man was the real protagonist!
In this way, he let out a sigh of relief. His gaze was naturally not comparable to that of Chen Feng. In Chen Feng's view, if the other party was really not the Fang family, it would be easy to handle, and he would definitely support Mr. Tong.
But Guo Zhigang is different.
He knew that if the bidding party was Boss Lin, the power behind it would be even more terrifying, because the Fang family would probably only be considered a supporting role!
Even the Fang family has to accompany him, which shows the strength of Boss Lin. The auction house refers to various dignitaries, so... Boss Lin will never be offended!
"One hundred and forty million!"
It can be said that Mr. Tong is furious. In his opinion, it is not a price increase at all, but an outburst. Are you arguing with me? Why!
Even if you are from the Dongjiang Fang family, if you come here for real, will we be afraid of you?
However, Lin Zichen's rhythm remained unchanged. He turned to look at Mr. Tong and said with a playful smile: "One hundred and fifty million."
The auctioneer was also dumbfounded, not knowing what was going on. He glanced blankly at Guo Zhigang, obviously seeking his opinion.
Guo Zhigang looked calm and shook his head.
The auctioneer immediately understood that the boss was asking him to ignore everything else and continue the auction, which meant fairness and justice.
"Okay, Boss Lin has already called for 150 million, does anyone want to increase the price?"
The auctioneer's words were obviously meant for Mr. Tong. Since the boss asked him to auction fairly, he would definitely show his professionalism.
The quality of an auctioneer is to use words to stimulate everyone's desire to increase the price, so that the auction house's profits can be maximized.
Guo Zhigang smiled, which seemed to be an affirmation of the auctioneer. After all, looking at it now, the owner of this tripod is his Jinkang Auction House, and the treasure of 60 million has already reached 150 million. For him, it is already
It avoids all risks.
"One hundred and sixty million!"
Mr. Tong gritted his teeth and said.
"One hundred and seventy million!"
Lin Zichen shouted immediately without even frowning.
"Master, it's so enjoyable. This is called domineering. By the way, do we have enough money?" Xiaofeng said excitedly.
Lin Zichen smiled: "That's enough. I don't know what kind of influence this Mr. Tong is. If nothing happens, I can buy his influence."
"Haha, it's so cool, Master, crush him to death!"
Lan Luoshi on the side finally said: "Zichen, it's 170 million, is there any upper limit?"
Lin Zichen understood what Lan Luoshi meant. In an auction, bidders must have their own upper limit. Otherwise, endless bid increases will only make themselves passive.
He smiled, leaned close to Lan Luoshi's ear, and said, "Yes, one billion!"
Hearing this, Lan Luoshi was also stunned. One billion? One billion to buy a shabby stone tripod?
Although she would not stop Lin Zichen, she still turned her head and rolled her eyes at him: "Why are you so prodigal?"
"Haha, Luo Shi, this tripod must be earned."
"Hmph, just use my hard-earned money to make it." Lan Luoshi said coquettishly.
Lin Zichen smiled. Lan Luoshi obviously meant that part of the money could come from Lan's, but Lin Zichen said: "Don't worry, let's auction it off. I'll take care of the private account."
"What is the origin of this cauldron?"
"Haha, I can double the inventory of Lan's elixirs!"
Hearing these words, Lan Luoshi slowly opened her eyes, and understood what Lin Zichen meant, and said: "This is... the alchemy cauldron?"
"Haha, girl, you are so smart!"
Watching the two whispering, Fang Ning felt sour in her heart, but she didn't say anything. She just sighed, silly girl, happiness... is yours after all.
And Mr. Tong was really angry. This kid had been fighting with him since the beginning of the blood crystal. Just now he gave the blood crystal to him for the sake of the Fang family, but he didn't expect that he would come to fight for the Cold Iron Cauldron!
Mr. Tong gritted his teeth and said: "Huh, 200 million!"
An additional 30 million was added at once, and everyone present was shocked. It seemed that Mr. Tong was bound to win!
And Mr. Tong also knew in his heart that this was almost his upper limit. If it were any higher, he would not be able to explain it even if he took the Han Iron Cauldron back. After all, the price was too high.
At this time, everyone's eyes also turned to Lin Zichen, expecting what price he would shout out. This bidding was not about buying antiques, but about buying land...
"Zi Chen, do you want more?" Fang Ning asked.
Lin Zichen smiled: "Of course, otherwise how could we be worthy of these audiences?"
"Three hundred million!"
One hundred million was added at once, and almost everyone else exclaimed, and immediately the audience burst into thunderous applause.
Although many people thought that Lin Zichen was sick and spent 300 million to buy a tripod, their heroic spirit and financial resources were enough for them to applaud.
Mr. Tong was completely angry. He stood up directly and glared at Lin Zichen: "Four hundred million!"
Hum, it’s okay if I can’t get it, but I can’t let you win it easily. Even if I don’t get it, I’ll have to make you spend hundreds of millions more!
Everyone looked at Lin Zichen, but Lin Zichen saw a hint of guilt on Mr. Tong's face, and laughed secretly, "Haha, it seems... you can't afford it anymore."
Under everyone's expectant gaze, Lin Zichen leaned back on the chair, crossed his legs, and said with a smile: "It's yours!"
