In fact, not only Mr. Tong, but others were also a little surprised.
After all, Lin Zichen’s previous bid never gave up until it reached its goal. Why did it suddenly soften?
Even Guo Zhigang looked over sharply. He didn't understand what Boss Lin meant. No money? No way. He could calmly shout out 300 million and give up now?
And even if he is reluctant to spend the money, Miss Fang next to him will not lose face, right?
He suddenly realized that he really couldn't see through this boss Lin. He seemed young, but his calmness and unexpected behavior really made Guo Zhigang unpredictable.
"Zi Chen, why don't you want it? Didn't you say..." Lan Luoshi wanted to say that the upper limit Lin Zichen would accept was one billion, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, it was still confidential at this moment.
Lin Zichen smiled and shook his head: "But I, Lin Zichen, am not stupid enough to waste money."
Hearing this, Fang Ning nodded, smiled slightly, and whispered: "Zi Chen, did you see that Mr. Tong has no money?"
"Haha, that's right. He had gritted his teeth to ask for the 200 million just now. In the blink of an eye, it reached 400 million, which doubled. Do you think he would be willing to pay this money? What's more... Haha, there are still prerequisites.
What are the conditions?"
Fang Ning secretly laughed, this guy is really clever. I thought he was a tycoon who spent a lot of money without blinking an eye, but it turned out that he also had small calculations.
However, this fully demonstrates Lin Zichen's level. Not only can he bid generously for what he wants, but he can also pay attention to the smallest details.
Lan Luoshi sneered: "Humph, this old fox, whoever fights with him will be unlucky."
"Am I very old?" Lin Zichen teased. At this time, his mood was extremely relaxed. He even anticipated what would happen in a while.
"Even if you are not old, you are also a little fox!" Lan Luoshi thought to herself, hum, you are messing me up, I can't do it without you, you Lin Zichen are just a cunning fox.
Lin Zichen shook his head and smiled, leaned firmly on the back of the chair, and immediately looked at Mr. Tong.
Mr. Tong's expression seemed to be frozen. Obviously, he did not understand Lin Zichen's actions and was extremely passive.
Lin Zichen could think that he must have bought this cauldron on behalf of his own power, so 60 million was his base price, and he must have planned to ask for around 100 million. If he made a profit, his power would not doubt it.
After all, if you are an alchemist, you should still be able to feel the value of this cauldron.
But... if it was 400 million, it would be different. His superiors would definitely become suspicious. Even if they didn't suspect that he was eating money in the middle, they probably wouldn't reimburse him 400 million.
Therefore, Mr. Tong is likely to have to pay for the tripod out of his own pocket. Even if he can afford it, he may inevitably return to before liberation overnight.
Mr. Tong seemed to understand something now. His eyes widened and he looked at Lin Zichen angrily.
Damn it, you actually played tricks on me, you little guy is just looking for death. If you know the power I am in, you will definitely regret it!
But bidding is not a child's play, and you can't go back on your bid. Now he no longer cares about the deposit he paid before participating in the auction, but where to get 400 million to complete the transaction.
He was sure that after returning to power, his superiors would not agree to the 400 million acquisition of the Cold Iron Cauldron.
At this time, the auctioneer looked at Guo Zhigang. After all, the auction had reached 400 million, and he did not even dare to drop the hammer at will.
Guo Zhigang thought for a while and looked at Lin Zichen again, but Lin Zichen didn't seem to have any reaction, he was as relaxed and calm as before.
Finally, he nodded towards the auctioneer, and the auction hammer fell with a crisp sound.
"Okay, then the final winner of this three-legged and square tripod is Mr. Tong. Congratulations to him!"
Applause broke out at the scene. Although Lin Zichen and his bidding did not satisfy everyone's eyes, the final price of 400 million for this stone tripod has already made many people gasp. This auction was not in vain. They witnessed the high-priced items in person.
!
Although the atmosphere was warm, Mr. Tong's expression was extremely embarrassed. This treasure belonged to him, but... he didn't know how to buy it. He was asked to take at least 400 million, but he seriously refused to acknowledge it.
This is also the last lot in the auction, so when the auction is over, the entire auction is over.
The crowd slowly dispersed, but the trading room of Jinkang Auction House became busy.
The actual transaction of each lot is actually in the trading room. Here, the auction house's financial staff holds a credit card machine and asks each lot winner to swipe their card one by one. Then the auction house completes the delivery of the lot, and the entire transaction is concluded.
Already.
By the time of the transaction of the three-legged and four-sided tripod, all the other bidders had left, including Lin Zichen, Lan Luoshi and Fang Ning, who also obtained the molten fire crystal and left the trading room.
At this moment, only Guo Zhigang, Chen Feng, Mr. Tong and two staff members were left in the trading room.
"Mr. Tong, this tripod..."
Mr. Tong took a deep breath. He had just been sitting next to him and said nothing. He only raised his head and cast an angry look when Lin Zichen was buying molten crystals. However, Lin Zichen ignored him. At other times, he was almost
Keep your head down.
"President Guo, haha, all I can say is... follow what we agreed in advance, otherwise I won't be able to conduct the transaction," Mr. Tong said.
At this time, everyone else had left, and he was no longer afraid of losing face, so he simply went straight to the bottom.
And Lin Zichen is no longer here. In his opinion, the initiative is now in his hands anyway. You Guo Zhigang will not suffer any loss if you sell me, but if you don't sell it, you will just wait to lose it.
Guo Zhigang thought for a moment: "Mr. Tong, I'm afraid I can't agree to this. I might not have hesitated before, but after all, there is Miss Fang in the middle. If I do this, once the matter gets out... I'm afraid
I can no longer work at Jinkang Auction House."
"Oh? It seems that President Guo doesn't plan to sell the tripod?" Mr. Tong said lightly with a smile.
"If Mr. Tong intends to bid but doesn't buy, I won't pursue it, just think that we are even," Guo Zhigang said, turning around and saying, "But it will harm the auction house."
I, Guo Zhigang, will definitely not do anything like this!"
"How about 100 million?" Mr. Tong stood up. After all, as long as he can get the tripod, he can at least explain it when he goes back. Even if he doesn't make any money, he still has completed the task. "President Guo, it's better than just throwing it into your hands."
Isn’t it good?”
Guo Zhigang shook his head and smiled: "Sorry, we can only trade according to the transaction price."
"One hundred and fifty million, President Guo, this is my limit. I hope we can still cooperate in the future, right? It's not like I, Tong Lei, haven't given you benefits to the auction house."
This is indeed Tong Lei's limit. One hundred and fifty million means that he will not earn a penny, and he will not get praise from his superiors. After all... this tripod also cost a lot of money.
Just as Guo Zhigang was about to speak, Chen Feng said: "President, after all, we have cooperated many times, otherwise... transfer the 150 million to Mr. Tong? It is better than keeping it for the next auction, and if it is auctioned again, it will be harmful to us."
Your reputation will also be affected, so why bother?”
Guo Zhigang glared at Chen Feng: "Shut up, my matter has more or less to do with you."
Chen Feng did not dare to say anything.
But the moment Guo Zhigang opened the door, he saw three people standing outside, it was Lin Zichen and two beauties.
"Lin...Boss Lin? Why are you back?"
Lin Zichen smiled and said: "President Guo's tripod..."
"Why, is Boss Lin interesting?"
"Why else would I come back? Can we talk?"
Guo Zhigang looked back at Tong Lei, showing a little embarrassment, but Lin Zichen didn't care and walked in directly, saying: "Four hundred million... He can't afford it, so I will pay it. I believe you will write an instruction manual by then, and it will be official."
I won’t care either.”
Hearing this, Guo Zhigang laughed: "Haha, Boss Lin is really happy. If so, this deal can be done."
"You..." Tong Lei immediately became anxious. Just now he ignored the auction out of shame, but now he walked directly in front of Lin Zichen, "Boy, where are you from?"
Seeing that Tong Lei's gentle appearance could be so rude, Lin Zichen shook his head and smiled: "First you spent 400 million to talk to me, but now you are not worthy!"
Tong Lei clenched his fists and stared at Lin Zichen, and even had the urge to take action, but he did not do so in the end.
Boy, if I really have you, I will make you regret it!
"President Guo, I, Tong Lei, have kept today's events in mind."
After saying that, he walked straight out of the trading room.
President Guo ignored it and said: "Boss Lin, I was surprised that you didn't make another bid just now, haha, but if you are willing now, you can complete the transaction immediately."
"Haha, okay, swipe the card." Lin Zichen's card has no transaction limit, even 400 million is no problem. Of course, he will not doubt that anyone can steal the card from his Vientiane space...
Chen Feng was dumbfounded. He couldn't imagine that Lin Zichen actually used his own card to swipe 400 million. Previously, he had always felt that if he really paid for it, it would definitely be Fang Ning.
After the transaction was completed, President Guo had someone carry the tripod in and said, "Boss Lin, he is yours now. If necessary, I can arrange for it to be delivered to your home."
Lin Zichen waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, I'll just take it myself."
Governor Guo thought to himself, this must be because Boss Lin is worried. If he can afford 400 million, how can he not have anyone under his command?
"Okay, but...Boss Lin, I don't know if it's convenient for me to tell you which company you are the boss of? It would also give Mr. Guo some insights."
Lin Zichen thought for a while, and for people like Guo Zhigang, it was definitely necessary to make friends with the wealthy people from all walks of life. He smiled and said: "Let them all get out."
They offered 400 million, so of course Guo Zhigang would comply and immediately let the other staff members leave.
"And Vice President Chen, please go out too." Lin Zichen did not forget to add.
"What? I'm going out too?" Chen Feng said unconvinced, and immediately looked at Guo Zhigang.
"Get out!" Guo Zhigang said with a gloomy face.
Chen Feng could only snort coldly and walked out immediately.
Only Lin Zichen, Guo Zhigang and two beauties were left in the room. Lin Zichen pointed at Lan Luoshi and said: "This is Lan Luoshi, the general manager of Lan's Pharmaceutical."
"Lan's Pharmaceuticals? Oh, I've admired it for a long time. This is a big group. I heard that it was acquired by Long Chuan some time ago. It's really a strong alliance. Miss Lan is so young and has a bright future."
Hearing this, Fang Ning smiled: "President Guo knows about Dragon Legend?"
"Of course, this is a first-class enterprise in China. Just establishing the headquarters has created a lot of economic benefits for Yanjing."
"Haha, but you don't know the chairman of Longchuan Group in front of you?" Lan Luoshi said with a smile.
Guo Zhigang was completely stunned, as if he had been struck by lightning, and even felt guilty. After all, compared to Long Chuan, Jin Kang was nothing.
He originally thought that this young man was a rich second generation or the boss of a mid-level company, but he didn't expect that he was actually a business giant in China today...
