C148 (1/2)
”Seventy million, Mr. Du is really generous, I bid one hundred million!”
The young master shouted, ”Do you dare to continue bidding?”
”Actually, I was just casually shouting for fun. I didn't expect that you would actually take it seriously.”
Du Lei laughed indifferently: ”This time I congratulate young master Zhou, remember to buy me a bottle of Lafite for 82 years!”
”You …”
The young master was so angry that he couldn't speak. He had thought that his method of slapping the face should be considered trendy. Unexpectedly, the other party had not taken him seriously at all.
At the same time, the host on stage quickly said, ”Congratulations No.18 for obtaining the 24th piece of woolen cloth and breaking the record for the domestic private woolen cloth. This is extremely rare, for which our young master Zhou has prepared a mysterious gift for him.”
”Bring the things here.”
The host said into the microphone.
Soon after, a two meter long, one meter wide coffin was carried up by a few black-clothed men. The atmosphere in the entire ballroom seemed to have dropped to zero. Many girls even revealed frightened expressions.
”Everyone, please don't be afraid. The coffin from ancient times symbolizes the promotion of an official to become rich. This is not a bad omen. Moreover, it contains a very rare treasure, I believe that Mister Chen will definitely like it.”
The host's explanation somewhat improved the situation down below, so she continued, ”Open the coffin.”
A few men in black heard the sound and opened the coffin. The spotlight was aimed at the interior of the coffin and a sharp sword was impressively laid there!
This sword was ancient and thick, but it did not have that sharp aura. Its shape was extremely simple, and under the light of the lamp, the blade shined with an eye-piercing light.
”This sword was personally forged by the number one Swordsmith of the capital after seven to four days. It weighs 108 Jin and is a perfect piece of work of art. Young Master Zhou had accidentally obtained it through a stroke of luck.”
”The sword within the coffin also has a way of nurturing it. Actually, this can't be said to be a coffin. It can only be said to be a slightly larger box.”
The host awkwardly explained, ”Alright, this sword is now given to Mister Chen. When we leave later, we will have someone deliver it to your mansion.”
”Alright, next, let's start the bidding for the 25th piece of wool, its starting price is 50 thousand. The opening chance given by the officials is zero, so everyone can take their pictures at will. ”
”I bid 60 thousand.”
With the lesson given by Number 18, this time, there were not many young masters who wanted to slap Du Lei's face. However, there were still some young masters who tried to stop him, and in the end, Du Lei spent a million to buy a piece of useless rock. It was a good thing that this stone looked extremely good, if it was not cut, it would still be a good piece of furniture at home.
”Hey, can it be that mister has noticed that this stone is not ordinary?”
Qing Ning laughed and said, ”The success rate for this stone is zero, you actually dared to bid one million, you are truly bold.”
”What do you think?”
Du Lei laughed, ”Host, after the stones have been auctioned off, please cut off my piece as well. I want to see just how lucky I am.”
”Alright, Mr. Du.”
