Chapter 85: If You Don't Bid Again, You'll Lose
Qin Aodong had been having a miserable time these past few days.
After causing trouble a few days ago, he was severely beaten by his second uncle and grounded.
However, with his extreme love for antiques and curios, how could he miss an auction of this level?
So, he tried his best to sneak out to attend the auction today, not expecting to see Ye Chen here again.
He had always held Ye Chen in contempt. In his view, his second uncle was completely deceived by this kid.
But he didn't dare to provoke Ye Chen directly. Seeing Ye Chen about to bid for this necklace, he immediately followed up with a bid. Although it was useless, it was good to make Ye Chen uncomfortable.
Ye Chen glanced at him, then turned his head coldly and continued to bid.
"Seven hundred thousand!"
Qin Aodong followed closely: "Eight hundred thousand!"
Xiao Changkun couldn't sit still and hurriedly said, "Ye Chen, let's not bid anymore. Forget it, don't compete."
Ye Chen smiled indifferently and said, "Watch how I play with him."
After speaking, he raised his hand directly: "Eight million!"
The scene was dumbfounded.
Others bid eight hundred thousand, and you bid eight million? Are you poisoned?
Qin Aodong was also dumbfounded. Damn, you're not playing by the rules! I bid eight hundred thousand, you should bid nine hundred thousand, at most one million. What do you mean by bidding eight million?
Are you burning money, or is your brain short-circuited?
Ye Chen raised his eyebrows at Qin Aodong and smiled, "Young Master Qin, continue!"
Qin Aodong spat, "Am I crazy? Spend eight million on this piece of junk? Forget it, I'll let you have it!"
Although Qin Aodong couldn't save face, he really couldn't bear to bid on top of eight million.
The value of these beads was at most seven hundred thousand. If he really spent more than eight million to buy it, wouldn't his legs be broken when he got home?
Money isn't spent like this!
Ye Chen stared at Qin Aodong and said disdainfully, "Young Master Qin, so soft so quickly? It seems you're not up to it either."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Qin Aodong said with a red face, "Stop f*cking provoking me. I think you can't afford it at all. You're just bidding blindly, trying to lure me into a trap? Hmph, I'll f*cking see how you come up with these eight million!"
Ye Chen curled his lips, "If you can't afford it, just say you can't afford it. What's the point of explaining so much here?"
At this time, the auctioneer also dropped the mallet.
"Eight million, sold! Congratulations, Mr. Ye!"
Subsequently, an etiquette lady immediately came to Ye Chen with a wireless card reader and said, "Mr. Ye, please swipe your card to pay."
Everyone was staring at Ye Chen. Qin Aodong sneered, "Ye Chen, I'll f*cking see how you swipe your card! Can you come up with eight million?"
Others were also curious whether Ye Chen, who bid so insanely, could really come up with so much money.
Ye Chen smiled indifferently, took out the black card from Qin Gang, and swiped it with a swish.
The black card had no password.
Card swiped successfully!
The etiquette lady handed the receipt to Ye Chen and said respectfully, "Mr. Ye, the treasure you bid for will be delivered to you before the end!"
"Good!" Ye Chen nodded.
Others were shocked!
It seems he really has money!
Buying a seven-hundred-thousand necklace for eight million, this person really has courage!
At this time, Ye Chen looked at Qin Aodong and asked with a smile, "Young Master Qin, are you convinced now?"
There was a burst of laughter around, and someone teased, "Young Master Qin, is your family declining, and you can't afford the money?"
"Haha, I think Young Master Qin is too weak and can't lift the knife anymore!"
"Hahahaha!"
Qin Aodong felt his face burning hot.
Damn, this grandson can actually come up with so much money!
This time he really lost face!
So, he gritted his teeth and said, "Ye Chen, I will never lose to you on the next item!"
Ye Chen nodded and said indifferently, "Alright, let's compare again on the next one!"
Qin Aodong didn't know where Ye Chen got such great confidence, and even less did he know that Ye Chen was still holding a card given by his second uncle...
Soon, a few more collections were auctioned off, and the next was a semi-finished piece of Tianhuang jade embryo.
Half of this jade embryo was wrapped in rock to show that it was purely natural, with a marked price of eight hundred thousand.
The naturally formed jade embryo contained a certain amount of spiritual energy. Ye Chen thought that this thing was just right for refining evil-warding artifacts for Qin Gang, so he immediately raised his placard.
"900,000!"
But as soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice sounded again.
"1 million!"
Ye Chen turned his head and met Qin Aodong's provocative eyes.
He remained calm and continued to raise his placard.
"1.1 million!"
"1.2 million!"
After a few times, the price of the Tianhuang jade embryo had doubled. Under Qin Aodong's deliberate bidding, it soared to 2 million!
Many people present also saw that Qin Aodong had started to deliberately target Ye Chen again.
Everyone was waiting to see another good show, so they kept their eyes on Ye Chen's hand.
Ye Chen slowly raised his placard and said, "20 million!"
Holy crap!
The scene went crazy!
Bidding 20 million from 2 million? Just like before, it increased tenfold directly!
Qin Aodong's face was extremely ugly.
Is this Ye Chen looking to die? Even if you have money, isn't money money? Why be so wasteful?
He was a well-known spendthrift in Jinling, but even he couldn't bear to spend ten times the price to buy something...
He suddenly hesitated.
Should he follow?
If he follows, he will throw away more than 18 million for nothing.
If he doesn't follow, Ye Chen will probably mock him to death, and these people will probably laugh at him to death.
He had already lost face once just now. If he was compared by Ye Chen again this time, he really wouldn't have the face to hang out anymore!
Thinking of this, Qin Aodong gritted his teeth and blurted out, "I bid 20.1 million!"
There was an exclamation at the scene!
Qin Aodong added 100,000!
This was a challenge!
Ye Chen smiled slightly at this time and raised his hand again: "I bid 30 million!"
"Damn!!!"
"This is f*cking crazy!!!"
"This guy is too tough!!!"
Bidding 20 million from 2 million, and 30 million from 20.1 million, Ye Chen's style simply scared everyone at the scene.
Qin Aodong also collapsed!
What exactly is this Ye Chen doing? Is he really that rich? 30 million! He could buy fifteen pieces of such jade! No matter who bids this price, they are a huge sucker!
Ye Chen asked Qin Aodong again: "Young Master Qin, come on, continue!"
Qin Aodong panicked.
Spending 30 million to buy a piece of jade, if his family finds out, he's dead!
His sister Qin Aoxue would probably beat him into a lifelong disability.
However, with so many people watching...
What to do?
Qin Aodong's face turned red and white.
The auctioneer called out: "30 million once!"
"30 million twice!"
The lively audience at the scene started shouting:
"Young Master Qin, bid!"
"Young Master Qin, you have to be tough!"
"Young Master Qin, don't let us look down on you!"
"Young Master Qin, are you really scared? You were acting so cool just now, and now you're scared?"
Ye Chen said with a smile: "Young Master Qin, if you don't bid again, you'll lose!"
