C54 You Are Serious

"Right, if it's true, then we only need around 3 million. 8 million is too much of a waste!" It wasn't that they cared about the money, but if they were to know the difference in price, they would definitely feel very uncomfortable. As a result, many of the guests began pointing at the host and scolding him.

The host knew that he had been exposed. He raised his hand and continued to explain, but how could the guests have allowed him to explain?

There were even some people who had come up to the stage to pull at him. Thankfully, He Changsheng had already helped out by saying, "Everyone, don't be so impulsive. It was just a momentary mistake on the part of the host, wasn't it? You don't have to make this kind of mistake anymore.

"Understood. Everyone, please go down first. It's time to start the auction. Please!" Since he had already spoken, what else could the guests do? They left the stage one by one and returned to their seats. Only then did the host heave a sigh of relief. "Let's begin!"

"3.05 million!" As soon as master said this, people on the side immediately started to bid, and then more people started to state their prices. Because there were a lot of people talking, the numbers of 3.08 million, 3.1 million, 3.2 million, and 2.35 million came out one after another. Everyone was desperately talking about their prices, and at that moment, Liu Zhenghui raised his hand and said loudly, "4 million!"

Immediately, many people stopped talking and started to hesitate, whether they could spend more than 4 million on this kind of blue and white porcelain of the Tang Dynasty. When Liu ZhengHui said this price, he purposely glanced at the seat separated from Liu Yan by the corner, He Hui Sheng.

Waiting for him to quote a price, he thought to himself, just say it immediately if you have the money, don't waste time here. If you don't tell me, then this Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain will belong to me.

Liu Zhenghui really wanted to buy all the precious items in this antique auction. He wanted to use this method to show off his ability. Even though he was extremely humble on the surface, he wanted to see when he was down on his luck.

Liu Zhenghui was very happy to see He Changsheng not talk at all. He was sure that He Changsheng was too expensive, so he did not dare to say anything. At this moment, Li Fang Fang, who was beside He Changsheng, said, "4.5 million!"

No one expected the woman in front of them to be so generous, or to be so rich, to be willing to pay such a price. This was already more than the original price of 1.5 million, so why did she have to offer such a price?

He had originally thought that it would be fine to just bring He Hui Sheng down, but now there was actually Li Fang Fang. He could tell that this Li Fang Fang was a friend of He Hui Sheng's, but he did not know about their relationship. He could not imagine what was going on with them.

He was quite puzzled in his heart. Could it be that these two were in cahoots with each other? Even though He Hui Sheng did not bid, the fact that Li Fang Fang had offered a price proved that it was He Hui Sheng's intention.

Many thoughts appeared in Liu Zhenghui's mind, but he was not sure if it was the truth, or if he was just overthinking it, since he would not bid anymore, feeling that the price was not worth it, and furthermore, he was not the type of person to casually bid, so he chose to remain silent.

Thereafter, the host thought that no one would offer an even higher price, so he announced, "If no one offers a higher price, then I will start announcing, 4.5 million going once, 4.5 million going twice, 4.5 million going thrice, OK …"

The host had originally wanted to say a deal, but at that moment, He Hui Sheng suddenly interrupted him and said, "1 million!" This time, the impact was even more huge, with almost half of the people calling out. No one knew that this young man, who was living just now, would spend 1 million just to buy such an antique!

Even the host didn't know what to say. Didn't he just say that it was too expensive? Why did he have to raise the price to 1 million now? Wasn't this intentional?

However, since he was making money, he did not mind how much the price was. He trembled as he asked He Changsheng, "Sir, are you sure you're right? That's 1 million, not 1 million! "

"Yes, don't you believe me? If I say 1 million, then it's 1 million! " Everyone and the host knew that he was going to spend over 1 million to purchase the Tang Dynasty's blue and white porcelain. Perhaps to him, this price wasn't that expensive.

The host could only announce, "Then if no one else bids any higher, I will announce it, 1 million going once, 1 million going twice, 1 million going thrice! "Deal!"

This time, the host was finally able to say the word 'deal'. This Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain was finally sold, and the host was also relieved, but there were still more antiques for the guests to auction. He had just sold the Tang Dynasty blue and white porcelain at a high price, and the host was quite happy.

Because He Leisheng had offered the highest price, the Tang Dynasty's blue and white porcelain was quickly placed beside him. Liu Yanyan immediately wrapped it up in the most exquisite gift box, and the nearby customers all shot envious looks at He Leisheng. To be able to buy the Tang Dynasty's blue and white porcelain at such a high price, it was clear that He Leisheng was a rich man.

At this moment, no one dared to say anything to him. Everyone quieted down, waiting for the second antique to come up on stage. After about 2 minutes, several beauty in qipao started moving again as they took out a very interesting ink painting from behind the scenes.

Judging from the composition and color, this was the ink painting of the Southern Song that Liu Zhenghui had told him about. This ink painting depicted a mountain, some streams, and some fish swimming nearby. It should be a very interesting painting of the Southern Song Dynasty.

The timing was inferred. He did not only know by looking at the stamp, but by looking at the style of the picture. The other option was to use color and composition, since he was an appraising treasure with his eye of discernment, it was very normal for him to be able to see through it at a glance without any explanation.

The moment the ink painting was done, many customers nodded and said, "This work is not bad. I wonder if it came from that famous expert."

"I think it should be a scholar from the Southern Song. I wonder how much this work costs?" Some of the noblewomen seemed to be interested in this landscape painting and began to discuss it. There were also some from wealthy families discussing it and the whole venue was bustling with noise and excitement.
