Chapter 206 What you play is the heartbeat

This set of jade books is also one of the highlights of this auction, with a starting price of 2 million US dollars. The book itself is all carved from emerald, which is very precious. What's more remarkable is that it was originally a national treasure belonging to China. When the Eight-Nation Alliance burned the Yuanmingyuan, it fell into the pocket of a French officer, and then it was transferred to Japan several times. Before this auction, the Chinese government has raised a strong protest, pointing out that jade books and colorful pearl shirts were originally cultural relics belonging to China. The auctioneer's practice not only hurt the feelings of the Chinese people, but also damaged the cultural rights and interests of China. However, the auctioneers insist on going their own way. In the case of unsuccessful negotiations between China and Japan, some patriotic businessmen and overseas Chinese, including non-governmental organizations, spontaneously organized to participate in the auction, hoping to return these two national treasures to the embrace of the motherland.

Therefore, in addition to their own value, these two auctions also have special significance. The auction has not yet started, and the media of all parties have made overwhelming reports. Almost all the buyers who participated in the auction are staring at the books and pearl shirts, and want to know who will win the two national treasures in the end.

According to Xia Ruoyun's initial estimate, this set of books can be sold at a price of about four to five times the starting price, that is, from 9 million to 12 million, which is reasonable. And if she wants to make sure that she is foolproof, the bid may be two or three million higher, and this price is acceptable. But now there is a Yue Tianxiong in the middle, who is also an unconclusive enemy, and the result is hard to say.

In the last Louis crown, Fang Zhennan's prediction of her was a sky-high price of 40 million. Fortunately, she did not win the plan. But this time, for the last fight, no one can predict whether this person will spare any blood, because the Yue family is extremely strong in terms of financial resources and power, even surpassing the Fang family, compared with the Xia family in its heyday. It's not much worse. If Yue Tianxiong's offer really exceeds 50 million US dollars, and Xia Ruoyun can't raise money smoothly, then she can only watch this set of emerald books fall into Yue Tianxiong's pocket!

Xia Ruoyun couldn't help looking at the VIP seat. Yue Tianxiong's man held a purple sand pot and tasted tea leisurely. He was calm and confident, which made Xia Ruoyun even more worried.

"Dongzi, do you think... will this emerald book also be a fort?" After pondering for a while, Xia Ruoyun said hesitantly, "The last Louis Crown, I believe your judgment, but what I'm worried about is that since Fang Zhennan and others have stolen the beam and changed the column once, will he also use the same trick on this book..."

"This may not be big." After she finished speaking, Li Weidong interrupted and said with a smile, "Although I can't guess how Fang Zhennan and those people used to let a forge into the auction, this kind of concealment must be extremely risky. If you do it one more, you will be more dangerous. Fang Zhennan is very cautious in doing things. I guess he won't be stupid to that extent. This is one of them. The second and the most critical point is that the reason why Fang Zhennan raised the price of the last collection with you and stopped you from raising money at the same time. Why is he so deliberate?

"It's for... so that I can't take the second lot, that is, this set of emerald books! Yes, in this way, Shu Jian must be true, otherwise he doesn't have to spend so much effort at all!"

Xia Ruoyun is in charge of Xia's Group, which is very insightful, so it is clear at all. Li Weidong's analysis is very reasonable. The only thing I'm worried about now is what kind of price Yue Tianxiong can pay. After a moment of hesitation, Xia Ruoyun said, "Just like you just predicted Fang Zhennan, can you guess Yue Tianxiong's psychological price?"

"Damn it, you think I'm an immortal, and you can figure it out with a pinch!" Li Weidong is angry and funny. It seems that this young lady has begun to be superstitious about herself. He lowered his head for a moment and said, "So what about your psychological price? How much is it within what you can accept?

"Me? The money I can use now plus the prepaid deposit, which is a total of 5, 7 million US dollars. Xia Ruoyun took a deep breath and said slowly but without doubt, "At all costs, spend the last penny on me, and I must also get this set of emerald books!"

Li Weidong sighed secretly. This girl is indeed determined to win. Unfortunately, there is Yue Tianxiong there. They have lost once. This time, even if they lose all their money, they will never obediently give up Shu Jian, more than 50 million US dollars, which is of course an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but for Fang Zhennan and Yue Tianxiong said that they were afraid that they couldn't even hear a sound when thrown into the water!

No, if you want to kill the guy surnamed Yue, it seems that you have to get a little shady!

How can I get this guy overshadowed? If you can find a trust at this time, maybe everything will be much easier. Unfortunately, the process of participating in this formal auction is more complicated. You must first apply for a qualification certificate and pay a certain amount of deposit. It's almost the end now, and it's too late to apply for a buyer's qualification.

Li Weidong habitually knocked on his forehead and glanced around the venue. Suddenly, his eyes fell on the blonde MM in the front row who had been vomited by him. Unexpectedly, the MM was also secretly looking at him sideways. The two looked at each other, and the MM smiled at him without hesitation, with affectionate eyes. It seems that foreign MM is better. It's more direct. It won't be like a Chinese MM. It's not like a Chinese MM, and it won't admit it. Looking at how enthusiastic and unrestrained they are, Li Weidong is confident in the face of the powerful bonus of charming gems. As long as he is willing to go up and have a chat with him, go out for a drink or something, it is not a problem to take him out directly to open a room, or even reverse it is not known.

It's just that although this girl's Mimi is very spectacular, her appearance is flat. Li Weidong secretly regretted for a moment. Just as he was about to turn his eyes away, he suddenly had an idea: Shit, didn't he say he wanted to find a trust? Isn't this foreign girl a ready-made candidate?

At this time, the devil auctioneer on the stage is introducing and displaying the auction items for the final mobilization. Li Weidong took the opportunity to pull the chair forward, sat next to the blonde MM, and said a gentlemanly greeting in fluent English. MM was obviously a little flattered, and the tone of his voice was a little excited, but his eyes stared at Li Weidong's charming face and refused to move away.

Through simple communication, Li Weidong learned that the MM's name is Susan, an Australian. This time, a person came to participate in the auction and belonged to the fun. From the beginning of the auction to now, this girl has only asked for two bids, and they are all bids within hundreds of thousands of dollars. She should not have any strength.

So Li Weidong put forward the conditions: let her be entrusted, no matter how high the price others pay, only add 100,000 dollars more at a time, no more, no less. As a reward, whether the final auction is successful or not, she will be paid $100,000 in a lump sum. Anyway, even if she finally bought the collection, the money needs to be paid by Xia Ruoyun and picked up the goods. This MM is just a passing god of wealth, and there is no risk for both sides.

The foreign girl agreed happily. This is not entirely because of Li Weidong's charm plus two, but 100,000 dollars is indeed not a small amount for her. People die for money and birds die for food. As a trust, she can get 100,000 dollars, and there will be no risk. This kind of good thing of pie falling from the sky can be encountered several times in her life. Question mark

According to Li Weidong's order, the foreign girl ran to the other side of the temporary seat, tightly pinched the sign, and waited for someone to bid, and desperately increased the price. It happened that the auctioneer did a good job of displaying the auction and announced the start of the auction!

In the form of this auction, it adopts the most traditional English-style auction, which is commonly known as the price-added auction. And this method is divided into two types, audio auction and silent auction. The so-called audio auction is through which the buyer verbally calls out the bidding price, while the silent auction replaces the oral quotation with bidding plates, number plates, nods, gestures or other prescribed signals, and then the auctioneer quotes the price in public. In this way, the buyer does not need to make a sound to bid, so it is called a silent auction. It is also called a seller's bid auction. Usually, international auctions mostly use the latter due to language barriers.

This auction also uses a silent auction to replace the buyer's oral quotation with a bidding plate. The first bid was the guy in the front row VIP seat who didn't know whether it was a devil or a stick. The price was 2.4 million yuan. The foreign girl Susan was extremely competent. As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, he immediately raised the sign to bid 2.5 million yuan. Xia Ruoyun obviously couldn't figure out what Li Weidong meant. She looked at him in surprise. She didn't know what this foreign girl had to do with killing Yue Tianxiong.

In Xia Ruoyun's style, there is basically no need to participate in the early bidding, because this low quotation is not tenable at all, so Masao Yamada also sits there in a regular manner, still like a primary school student who listens attentively. Unexpectedly, Li Weidong suddenly grabbed the bidding card from his hand, directly turned out a number, and raised it high.

"Three and a half million!"

The auctioneer reported such a number, and the price increase was one million US dollars. Such a strong and generous hand, so that all the buyers do not have to look back to know that it must be the combination of magnificent ugly women and white-faced adulterous husbands and women just now!

The buyers who are eager to try are a little discouraged all of a sudden. It is said that the style of this pair of adulterers is really a headache. The price increase is one million, which does not give those small buyers who pick up cheap ones any chance at all, so the lively scene just now immediately cools down a lot. Yue Tianxiong on the VIP seat also looked back unexpectedly. It seemed that he couldn't figure out why Xia Ruoyun couldn't calm down this time and took the initiative to bid as soon as she came up. You should know that auctions are also a war, fighting wits and courage. Whoever can't calm down first will probably lose miserably. Therefore, in addition to accidents, Yue Tianxiong's eyes naturally have a kind of contempt. Humph, this pair of dog men and women are still too tender after all!

I was about to ask the assistant to raise the card when the auctioneer's voice sounded again: "1.6 million!" Yue Tianxiong, including all the buyers, followed the reputation, but it was the previous blonde foreign girl who held the bidding list high.

Huh, just an angry man left Fang Zhennan, is this another one who is not afraid of death? Everyone felt a little surprised, but they didn't need to pay attention to this price, because everyone knew that once Xia Ruoyun took action, she would never give up if she didn't call 30 to 50 million yuan. Everyone was quietly waiting for Xia Ruoyun to raise the price.

Sure enough, 460 million!

4, 7 million!

5.3 million!

......

The numbers rose staggered, and soon the foreign girl Susan shouted out the price of eight million. The auction site fell into silence again. Although no one knows what this foreign girl is, one thing is certain. Entangled with the adulterous husband and woman, there must be no good fruit to eat. Fang Zhennan is a living example!

Thinking of this, many people even began to sympathize with this foreign girl. Alas, the next victim, I guess his brain is flooded.

Xia Ruoyun frowned slightly at this time. She also felt that Li Weidong was too impulsive and reckless. The auction was like this. The first buyer to take action, the more unfavorable it was, and it was easy to be seized by the opportunity by the opponent. And this time when he called eight million, he didn't know why Li Weidong suddenly stopped, lowered his head and knocked on his forehead. He seemed to be thinking nervously about something and didn't raise his card for a long time.

What's wrong with the adulterous husband** woman? The buyers at the venue also felt a little strange, and all their eyes were focused on Xia Ruoyun and Li Weidong. Yue Tianxiong was no exception. He turned his head and stared at Li Weidong with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through what this guy was doing.

"Eight million for the first time, eight million for the second time..."

Just as the auctioneer was about to shout for the third time, Yue Tianxiong couldn't sit still. For this jade book, he is obviously the same as Xia Ruoyun, and he is also determined to get it. Even if Xia Ruoyun gives up and no price increase, it is impossible for him to let this thing fall into other people's hands. God knows if that foreign girl is a trust!

Just as he was about to order his assistant to raise the card, the auctioneer also began to inquire for the third time. At this time, Li Weidong looked up, looked at Yue Tianxiong with some chagrin, and then raised the bidding plate in his hand.

Humph, it turned out that he wanted to provoke me to take action, so it was mysterious!

Yue Tianxiong sneered and turned his head contemptuously. The auctioneer paused slightly, and suddenly said loudly but unwillingly, "Eight million for the third time!"

Dong! With a hammer, all the buyers were stunned. After a few seconds, Yue Tianxiong jumped up and roared angrily, "Damn, what are you doing?"

Hundreds of buyers were in an uproar, one after another of discussion and scolding, and the splashing spit almost drowned the auctioneer. It is said that this little devil auctioneer was already good enough to carry his back. He didn't say anything for no reason. Now he is going to be attacked by the group again. He was so scared that his face changed. He stammered, "It's the third time. No, there is no higher price, so it's a deal!"

Yue Tianxiong couldn't help it. He smashed the purple sand pot in his hand, rushed directly from the VIP seat to the stage, grabbed the auctioneer and roared, "Buld! Isn't there a clear sign over there?"

"Yes, it's a sign!" The auctioneer was afraid and aggrieved. He said weakly, "But you didn't look carefully at all. His offer is also eight million, which is the same as the previous one... According to the auction rules, this is an invalid bid..."

"What?! ......”

Everyone's eyes gathered on the bidding board held high by Li Weidong. The red letter on a white background is clearly marked with ¥8000000!

Damn it! It's too insidious, too despicable! Only now did everyone understand why he had deliberately maintained a price increase of one million at a time before. This pair of adulterous husbands and women turned out to be playing psychological warfare!

People's thinking is inertia, and when they are used to a certain way of thinking, it is difficult to change. It's you who participate in the auction. Every time you see a person maintaining a fixed price increase rate, then next time as long as he raises a sign, you basically don't have to look at it, and you are used to thinking about how much he will be. The auction itself is a process of fighting wits and courage. Everyone is always thinking about countermeasures and planning their own combat deployment. The more they do this, the less they can pay attention to those details.

Li Weidong's price increase is simple and clear, one million at a time, just add it. Therefore, Yue Tianxiong also includes almost all buyers. When he saw Li Weidong raising his arm, he gave a logical judgment in his mind at the first time: this time it must be nine million! However, no one expected that he would raise a price that was simply wrong!

Yue Tianxiong was black in front of his eyes. He never thought that Li Weidong would use such a simple and extremely shameless move. He really couldn't swallow this anger. He held the auctioneer's collar and roared, "How does this count? He made the wrong quotation. He is deliberately making trouble. How does it count?!"

"This," the auctioneer said tremblingly, "his behavior is indeed a violation of the auction order. According to the rules, we can disqualify his buyer. But the woman's auction has been successful, and we can't change this fact..."

"Damn it!"

Yue Tianxiong screamed and punched the unlucky auctioneer and threw him out. The security guards and staff present rushed forward to maintain order.

At this time, Xia Ruoyun was completely stunned with joy. She couldn't believe that it was true. A set of national treasure emerald books was easily photographed with only eight million yuan, which was exactly one million dollars lower than the lowest price she had expected before! What's more, she has already made the worst plan. Even if she spends more than 50 million yuan without a penny, she has to get the book, but now she only uses eight million!!!

Even if it's a dream, it's just like that, right?

The first thing she came to her senses, Xia Ruoyun screamed and rushed up and hugged Li Weidong crazily. Fortunately, Li Weidong had already expected that he stretched out his hand like lightning to cover her mouth and said solemnly, "Fuck! Come on, I warn you, don't take advantage of me anymore! Shit, helping you is helping you, and your mouth should keep a distance from me at all times!"

Xia Ruoyun's face turned red and said angrily, "Zu Xing! Remember that you said this yourself. Don't beg me if you regret it in the future, hum!"

Shit, I beg you? Please kiss me? Thinking about this respectable face, Li Weidong had a feeling of goose bumps on the ground.

Due to the violation of the auction rules, Xia Ruoyun and Li Weidong were disqualified from bidding and chased out of the venue. The foreign girl Susan also immediately came to ask for the cash of 100,000 US dollars. Li Weidong controlled the bidding price very well. The price of eight million yuan was actually not low in terms of the value of the book, which ensured that Susan would not see the money and sold the book to make a difference. And she herself can't afford to pay this huge amount of money, so she can only honestly earn her 100,000 commission, and everyone is very happy.

After taking the book without any effort, Xia Ruoyun was so happy that she was about to faint, and of course, Li Weidong was the greatest contributor today. Excited Xia Ruoyun insisted on sending Li Weidong a gift to express her gratitude and asked him to choose from all the treasures at the auction, as long as it does not exceed 20 million yuan, and he can give whatever he wants. Li Weidong was so affectionate that he finally picked only one collection, which was the colorful pearl shirt that Zhao Feiyan wore. After all, it is a national treasure. It is quite a sense of achievement to be able to take it back to the motherland.

The pearl shirt is the last auction item. Since he and Xia Ruoyun have been disqualified from bidding, Susan still came forward and only spent 6.25 million US dollars to finish it. This price was obviously too cheap for Xia Ruoyun, which made this tough girl very sorry and showed a trace of cowardly expression for the first time.
