Chapter 60 - 60 Lighting the Lamp!
60 Lighting the Lamp!
It was not just Su Yuncheng!
Beside him, Kawakaze Kei, who was originally beaming with joy, instantly turned cold.
In the auction venue.
After a short silence, an intense discussion broke out.
“How generous. He simply increased the price by 100 million!”
“This is good. Director Chen of Sacred Heaven Entertainment versus Young Master Su Yuncheng of Huaying Entertainment.”
“I wonder if Young Master Su will raise the price again.” A child-like excitement appeared on a middle-aged man’s face. “Perhaps this jade seal can be sold for an astronomical price today.”
Sacred Heaven Entertainment and Huaying Entertainment were competitors to begin with. Coupled with Chen Yun’s previous actions, Su Yuncheng treated him as a thorn in his side. Needless to say, everyone understood these things.
“Brother Yun…” Jiang Shouheng looked at Chen Yun from the side, shocked speechless.
He simply increased the price by 100 million!
Just thinking about it made his heart ache!
What kind of foundation did he have to raise the price like this?!
At this moment, Chen Yun leaned back in his chair and picked up his teacup. He brushed away the mist and took a sip. Then, he turned to look at Su Yuncheng and the others not far away and sneered.
“I want this thing today.”
“Outsiders can’t take things that belong to China.”
These two sentences were spoken indifferently, indicating Chen Yun’s determination.
“Mr. Su, no matter what, you have to get this today. I’ll personally invest in it. With it, my status in the family can rise to another level. I can provide greater help to you and the Su family for you to obtain more wealth.”
“Alright!” Without any hesitation, Su Yuncheng immediately nodded and raised his hand. “I’d like to raise the price to 250 million.”
He increased the price again!
“Five hundred million.” Chen Yun put down the teacup in his hand and said 500 million as if he was throwing out 50 cents to buy a lollipop.
Five hundred million!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue erupted again.
Everyone felt a chill in their hearts. They simply could not believe what they had heard!
Many of them did not even have 500 million yuan in assets!
As for Chen Yun, he spent 500 million yuan with a wave of his hand!
“You!”
Su Yuncheng was furious. He looked at Chen Yun and clenched his fists.
Beside Chen Yun, Jiang Shouheng and Zheng Jianghao were also extremely shocked. Five hundred million!
It was equivalent to one-third of the assets of their family!
Apart from being shocked, they immediately smiled. The young master of Huaying Entertainment, Su Yuncheng, could be said to be the number one young master in Jiang City. He was also an enemy force, so he had suppressed them a lot. Now that Chen Yun had suppressed Su Yuncheng, how could they not be happy?
Just as Su Yuncheng was about to speak, Chen Yun knocked on the table.
Then, he pointed at the item beside the waiter not far away.
The waiter looked at the thing beside him and his body suddenly trembled.
Chen Yun’s actions were also seen by everyone present. They looked at the waiter and saw a golden lamp beside him.
It was exquisitely carved and incomparably dazzling.
However, the local tycoons in Jiang City knew what this lamp meant!
He wanted to light the lamp!
When these words appeared in everyone’s hearts, everyone’s bodies trembled!
The meaning of these words was very simple!
He was saying that he definitely had to get this item!
They could raise the price of this auction as much as they wanted! He would pay for everything!
A tycoon from the outer city looked at the person beside him. “Brother, what does this mean?”
“It’s very simple. We can raise the price of this jade seal for this round. No matter how much we increase the price, Director Chen will buy it at an additional price!”
“This is called lighting the lamp!”
“How ruthless!” The rich man from the outer city rubbed his hands. “Why don’t I try raising the price too?”
Hahahaha!
The man beside him laughed and stood up. “Brother Zhang, I advise you not to.”
“The action of lighting the lamp was a rule in Jiang City during the dynasty. At that time, if you couldn’t afford to pay for the auction item, one of your hands or legs would be cut off. But now, hmph.”
“First, see who dares to compete with Director Chen.”
“Second, the current price has reached 500 million. You can increase the price, but if Director Chen extinguishes the lamp, you’ll have to fork out 500 million.”
“In the past, during the dynasty, auction houses had the right to break people’s limbs. But now, hehe, go and ask Sotheby’s Auction House if they dare to touch a billionaire!”
“Also, try and see if you can walk out of Jiang City if you dare to cheat Director Chen.” As the man spoke, he turned around and left. “Brother Zhang, let’s end our cooperation here. You’re on your own.”
As soon as the man said this, Brother Zhang was stunned on the spot. Many people beside him looked at him and sneered.
Not far away, Jiang Shouheng nodded at him and waved to the side. A few burly men in black immediately walked over.
This action frightened Brother Zhang so much that his face turned pale.
He did not dare to say another word!
He was like a frightened quail. If there was a crack in the ground here, he would definitely hide inside.
No one present dared to say anything else.
They could tell that this was a battle between Su Yuncheng and Chen Yun. It was a battle between Huaying and Sacred Heaven!
If they interfered, they would be standing opposite the Su family and Sacred Heaven at the same time!
That would be asking for death!
Meanwhile, the waiter brought the golden lamp over. Chen Yun waved his hand at Jiang Shouheng, who tacitly understood Chen Yun. Then, Jiang Shouheng took out his Zippo lighter that cost more than ten thousand yuan.
Chen Yun lit up a small fire.
The small fire burned the air, but in everyone’s eyes, it was burning money!
Even Su Yuncheng looked at the golden lamp and the corners of his mouth twitched.
Good, Director Chen!
How bold!
He actually dared to light the lamp!
He lit the lamp with a starting price of 500 million!
This was unprecedented!
At this moment, everyone was looking at Su Yuncheng and Kawakaze Kei.
“Mr. Su.” Kawakaze Kei looked at Su Yuncheng. “Mr. Su, help me get this thing. When I return to the Three Spirits Headquarters, it will be a great merit. The Su family will definitely benefit!”
“Mr. Su, why are you still hesitating?!”
At this moment, Su Yuncheng was being watched by dozens of people. He looked at the lamp and narrowed his eyes.
He clenched his fists.
Kawakaze Kei did not know the rules of Jiang City, but he knew that Chen Yun was determined to get this thing today!
Moreover, he had already lit up the lamp. The starting price was 500 million yuan!
He did not dare to accept it!
He could not accept it either!
He couldn’t afford it!
The Su family behind him could not afford it either!
“Mr. Su!”
Kawakaze Kei interrogated him again, but Su Yuncheng lowered his head and picked up the lid of the teacup.
He gently closed it.
Everyone knew that this battle had come to an end!
