C99 Which potential customer offers a high price (1/2)
When Tang Chu Rui looked back, she found that the person holding the plate was only three or four seats away from her.
Qin Haotian.
”I'll pay a million.” The other side raised the signboard, and the words that came out of his mouth caused an uproar.
”Oh my god, what kind of painting is this?”
”Why are there so many people fighting for it? Could it be that there's some kind of secret behind the painting? ”
”Or some lost masterpiece?”
”Anyway, we mortals don't understand it at all!” But to be able to get such an expensive price, there must be something special about it! ”
”One million for one painting, how rich!”
Just as everyone was discussing about this, Huan Jing calmly raised a signboard.
With this action, the host was stunned. He did not fall off the stage immediately.
”Two... Two million? ”
The first few paintings had already been auctioned off for a long time, and very few people had bought them. Many of the paintings did not wait for the buyers from beginning to end.
Who would have thought that two rich men would suddenly appear out of nowhere.
”Two million for this painting, right?” The host was on the verge of tears, ”Everyone, this financial backer has made a bid of two million! Two million! ”
”Two million going once!”
”2 million times!”
The bystanders could not help but peep at Qin Haotian from the corner of their eyes.
After all, Qin Haotian was the only one who could compete with Huan Jing.
Qin Haotian clenched his teeth, hesitating as to whether he should go along with it or not. Chen Meimei, who was beside him, seemed to have been frightened long ago.
”What's so good about this painting, Young Master Qin?” If you have one million gold coins, you might as well buy some jewelry and some clothes.
Chen Meimei charmingly whispered into Qin Haotian's ear, saying: ”If I don't want this painting, I want one million … …”
However, Qin Haotian simply ignored her.
His gaze slanted over and landed on Tang Chu Rui.
He had also heard the words that had come out of Tang Chu Rui's mouth. He was a little unwilling. Why couldn't Huan Jing obtain her while he himself didn't?
This unwillingness had some complex emotions mixed within, to the point that even Qin Haotian himself couldn't explain why he insisted on bidding against Huan Jing. Could it be that it was really because he had taken a fancy to this painting?
”Two million! Three million!”
The host announced excitedly. Just as he was about to finalize the contract, Qin Haotian clenched his teeth and raised his card again!
This time, the crowd was in an uproar!
”I almost wondered if this painting was some kind of masterpiece by Da Vinci! ”Or a priceless lost product!”
”There's going to be a good show today. Let's see which grandpa this painting will land on. Do you know the two bidders? One is Young Master Huan, and the other is Young Master Qin. They're both powerful local princes …”
”You really know a lot! ”Then tell me, which one of them is richer?”
”In terms of strength, they are actually about the same. After all, they all have their own clans behind them! But in terms of courage, I feel that Huan Wu is slightly better! ”
”Two million two hundred thousand!” Two million and two hundred thousand! ”
The host became even more excited, as if he had discovered an amazing new continent.
The organizers of today's auction were able to draw a percentage based on the price they had bid. With such a huge sum of money, he could almost imagine himself holding a stack of performance bonuses and counting until his hands went soft …
”Is there anyone else who wants to continue bidding?”
Spittle flew everywhere on the stage.
”Two million three hundred thousand going once!”
”Two million three hundred thousand twice!”
”Two million three hundred thousand!”
Everyone's eyes once again landed on Huan Jing's body.
No one else would be bidding against Qin Haotian now, everyone's hopes were on Huan Jing.
Everyone's eyes were filled with anticipation, but no one knew what they were really looking forward to.
”Forget it.” Tang Meng Rui couldn't help but pull Huan Jing's sleeve.
It was just a casual remark. There was no need to be so serious, was there?
Even if he brought such a painting back to her and hung it on the wall every day, she wouldn't have the ability to appreciate it.
Other than knowing that it had a little bit of what was called ”texture,” could she possibly know more?
But Huan Jing only lowered his eyes.
This kind of expression did not seem to be influenced by the outside world (even if everyone's gaze was focused on them, they had already become the focus of the entire audience), but for Huan Jing, it seemed as if he had fallen into a place that no one else was present, as if the people beside him did not exist. It was as if he was the only one sitting in the hall, leisurely rolling up the sleeves of his shirt.
Tang Meng Rui almost suspected that if he placed a tea set in front of Huan Jing right now, would he really lift up the pot handle and then slowly pour tea for the tea leaves to taste?
… …. It was hard to say.
”Eldest Young Master, let's go.” She carefully tugged at his sleeve.
But Huan Jing lowered his eyes and actually laughed softly.
