Chapter 1404 - 1404 Two Hundred Million Deal
1404 Two Hundred Million Deal
As the staff brought the auction item up, the host began to introduce it.
“Welcome to our gala today. The first auction item today is a jade cauldron donated by an anonymous collector. The approximate age is a thousand years ago. The exact dynasty is unknown, but everyone can take a look. The quality of this jade cauldron is quite good.”
The host was showing this jade cauldron to the guests in all directions. Xia Wanyuan’s grip on Jun Shiling’s arm had already tightened.
Jun Shiling’s eyes were also a little solemn. The jade cauldron displayed on the stage was clearly the same as the one dug out of Xia Wanyuan’s ancient tomb.
But didn’t Xia Wanyuan say that there was only one sacred artifact? Then where did this come from?? And it looked like…
No, Jun Shiling’s eyes flickered. He turned around. “This is different from yours.”
Xia Wanyuan also realized it. “Yes, it’s indeed different.”
The dragon holding the jade bead in Xia Wanyuan’s jade cauldron was in the middle of the cauldron, and the dragon holding the jade bead in this jade cauldron was on the left side of the cauldron.
“How strange.” Puzzlement flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes. “Why is there another one?”
“Let’s bid for it first.”
“Okay.”
On stage, the host had already introduced all the details of this auction item.
“Okay, let’s start the bidding now. The starting price of this jade cauldron is 2 million. Is there anyone who wants to increase the price?”
As soon as the host finished speaking, someone added 50,000 yuan.
Although this jade cauldron was beautiful and made of good materials, because the dynasty was unknown and their status when they were alive was unknown, most people were not very interested in this.
After a long time, the price of this jade cauldron was only 2.5 million.
“Okay, 2.5 million. Anyone else? 2.5 million going once, 2.5 million.”
“Three million,” Jun Shiling suddenly said, causing a commotion.
“Okay, CEO Jun bid 3 million! Is there a higher bid?”
Lin Qingyuan looked at Jun Shiling and then at the jade cauldron on the stage. He gestured for Su Yueran to continue bidding. Su Yueran raised her card. “3.5 million.”
“Four million.” The person bidding was Xia Wanyuan.
“Okay, four mil.”
“Five million.” Before the host could finish speaking, Su Yueran raised the price again.
“Six million.”
In the following auction, there was no need for the host to exist at all. Su Yueran and Xia Wanyuan spoke one after another and finally increased the price to 50 million.
Looking at such a tense scene, the usually knowledgeable host began to wipe his sweat.
The other guests sitting below were even more shocked. Isn’t this just an ordinary jade cauldron?? 50 million? Are these two families crazy?? Or does this jade cauldron have some hidden value that we don’t know about??
“I’m buying a toy for Madam. Master Lin, are you interested in this too?” Jun Shiling looked at Lin Qingyuan.
The corners of Lin Qingyuan’s lips curled up slightly. “It’s not that I’m interested. The main thing is that CEO Jun has always had good taste. Since you like this jade cauldron so much, I think it should be very collectible. I want to buy it for my wife too.”
Jun Shiling’s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Lin Qingyuan quietly. Lin Qingyuan was not to be outdone and looked back at Jun Shiling.
The two of them instantly released their auras, and the others sitting around them could not take it.
“Then continue.”
“Okay, continue.”
Xia Wanyuan and Su Yueran continued to raise the price.
Finally, when Xia Wanyuan shouted 200 million, Su Yueran’s expression changed. She looked at Lin Qingyuan, who did not look too good.
He had asked Su Yueran to snatch this jade cauldron because he did not want Jun Shiling to get what he wanted.
However, he did not expect Xia Wanyuan to be so persistent in increasing the price. It had already reached 200 million. If he continued to increase it, with Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s cunningness, it was inevitable that they would withdraw and suffer in silence.
Lin Qingyuan thought about it and looked at Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling was saying something to Xia Wanyuan when he shook his head slightly.
Seeing Jun Shiling’s actions, Lin Qingyuan frowned slightly. He was worried that he would be schemed against by Jun Shiling. He had long sent someone to investigate this jade cauldron. There was nothing special about it at all. It was not worth it to get such a useless thing back for anger.
Thinking of this, Lin Qingyuan shook his head at Su Yueran. Su Yueran put down the bidding sign.
Seeing that the dispute had finally ended, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The host finally recovered.
He spoke extremely quickly, afraid that Lin Qingyuan would react and continue bidding. “Congratulations to Xia Wanyuan for winning this jade cauldron for 200 million yuan!!!”
There was thunderous applause and complicated gazes landed on Xia Wanyuan. Everyone thought to themselves that rich people were really good. Using 200 million to buy a jade cauldron was like playing.
The following auction items were not attractive to Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling. The second half of the auction was the home ground of Xia Wanyuan’s works. The price of each painting and calligraphy piece was auctioned higher and higher, receiving many people’s support.
This auction was quite successful, especially since it had sold a jade cauldron for an astronomical price of 200 million yuan. Just as the auction ended, news about this auction occupied all the major social media.
[ Good lord, 200 million. I don’t even dare to dream of having so much money in my life. I actually only used it to buy a jade cauldron. I really want to know how rich Xia Wanyuan and Jun Shiling are. ]
[ The person in front, didn’t you see the new global symbol rankings?? CEO Jun has already jumped to the top of the world and is now the true richest man in the world. Xia Wanyuan is even more amazing. She was still unknown on the rankings last year and has already broken into the top 100 this year. I feel that if this continues, Xia Wanyuan will soon be able to meet Jun Shiling at the peak of the rankings. ]
[ Isn’t it good to donate more money to the disaster area… Rich people… Hehehe. They really know how to enjoy themselves. ]
Regardless of the controversy online, after the auction ended, the auction house sent the jade cauldron to Xia Wanyuan intact.
After obtaining the jade cauldron, Xia Wanyuan took out another jade cauldron from the ancient tomb and compared it.
Xia Wanyuan looked at it for a long time and finally came to a conclusion. “There seems to be a pattern to the positions of these two dragons. According to this pattern, it’s very likely that there are still seven jade cauldrons left.”
Nine dragons holding pearls. In her previous life, this was a sign of auspiciousness.
“Then the increase in price today is a good thing.” Jun Shiling walked over and glanced at the jade cauldron in Xia Wanyuan’s hand.
“Mm, it’s not a bad thing.”
If there were really seven other people scattered among the people, then the sky-high price of the jade cauldron this time would definitely make the remaining people restless.
A million searches were not as effective as a single benefit temptation.
Just as Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had thought, as the news of the astronomical price of the jade cauldron spread, some people had already rushed to China with the jade cauldron.
