Chapter 253 Who's The Best (1)
when the auctioneer heard this, he immediately said respectfully, " "dear sir, you can rest assured. if there are any problems, the auction house will solve them for you."
after he finished speaking, he even bowed.
"that\'s good,"
long chen nodded and sat down.
the auction was still going on, and not long after, the second of the last three finale items was brought up on the auction stage.
it was a white jade cup that looked almost transparent, with specks of purple light flowing within.
the purple light was faintly discernible. it seemed to exist, but it also seemed to be an illusion.
just this point alone made many people exclaim in admiration.
long chen stared at the white jade cup and probed it. he felt that the energy contained in it was even more intense than the ancient sword.
this made long chen very excited. he thought that it was a great opportunity to encounter the ancient sword of the pre-qin qi cultivator, but he did not expect to encounter the white jade cup.
"everyone, we don\'t know the name of this cup, but it was said that it was found in the tomb of the three-eyed war god, so we will temporarily name it the war god cup. this cup is obviously an antique, perhaps even older than the previous ancient sword. the value of the two treasures depends on the opinions of the people. it depends on whether you are interested or not. the starting price is 100000, and each increment must not be less than 100000. everyone, please start the bidding."
the auctioneer announced the item\'s origin and starting price.
although it was not clearly said, it was very vague.
however, everyone present could see that the white jade cup was extraordinary.
"one million."
someone immediately made a bid of one million.
"five million."
"ten million."
the crowd began to bid crazily.
money didn\'t seem to be money.
"five hundred million."
suddenly, a voice came from private room 1.
"one billion."
someone from private room 2 immediately raised the bid.
"1.1 billion."
the person in private room 3 immediately followed suit.
as the bosses of the three private rooms joined the bidding, the other voices quieted down.
the price was raised to hundreds of millions in an instant. the people in the hall could only watch the fun at such a level of competition.
however, at this moment, everyone\'s eyes fell on long chen at the same time.
they were secretly looking forward to long chen joining the competition.
however, long chen did not speak. he just watched the show quietly.
he wanted to wait until the end before slowly bidding.
the competitors in the three private rooms were bidding wildly.
when the price reached 1.5 billion, other than the person in private room 1, the other two guests in the private room were silent.
"1.5 billion going once, 1.5 billion going twice, 1.5 billion ..."
"1.6 billion."
long chen said slowly.
"the gentleman in number 18, it\'s him again. my god, 1.6 billion, is there any higher price than 1.6 billion? is there any more?"
the auctioneer shouted with all his might.
the faces of the guests in the no. 1 private room changed completely.
he didn\'t expect that the first treasure would be snatched by number 18.
now that he had his eyes on the second treasure, he still wanted to bid.
"1.7 billion."
the old man in the no. 1 private room was not convinced and added another 100 million.
"two billion."
long chen said in a carefree manner.
money was just a number to him, and he didn\'t care about it at all.
to him, the effects of treasures were far more valuable than ordinary money.
"two billion ... hiss, grandpa, why don\'t we just forget about it?"
in private room no. 1, the young man\'s face was pale as he pulled the old man.
the old man sighed deeply, feeling a little angry and disappointed, and sat back in his seat.
a price of two billion, he was indeed unable to compete.
however, the old man was extremely curious about number 18.
" this person spent two billion on the ancient sword the first time, and another two billion this time. that\'s a total of four billion. i don\'t believe that he can still compete for the last treasure. "
the old man gritted his teeth.
" grandpa, it might not be a good thing for him to bid for it now. i think we can get it without putting in any effort. "
the young man said gloomily.
"don\'t talk nonsense." " those who can spend billions to bid are definitely not ordinary people, " the old man said solemnly. " we\'re only here for the treasure. we can\'t cause trouble. "
...
not long after, the third treasure appeared on the auction stage.
this was the final treasure. it was a two-feet-tall bronze dragon cauldron.
the bronze dragon cauldron itself wasn\'t anything special. what was important was the dragon pattern on the cauldron.
there was a clear spiritual qi fluctuation in the dragon pattern.
it was obvious that the cauldron had an extraordinary origin, and long chen was immediately tempted.
after the auctioneer announced the price, just as the crowd was about to start bidding, long chen raised his sign and said, " "three billion."
three billion?
everyone was dumbfounded.
"f * ck, how can you play like this?"
"there\'s no justice."
"he\'s really rich and overbearing."
" he\'s not letting anyone else play. i\'m convinced, i\'m really convinced. "
the bosses in the three private rooms were also speechless.
asking for three billion right off the bat, was he still letting people live?
"three ... three billion going once, three billion going twice ..."
the auctioneer\'s voice was trembling.
tonight\'s high price was all offered by one person.
who was this person?
however, he didn\'t have much time to think.
"three billion going thrice, done ..."
"wait, 3.1 billion."
the old man in the no. 1 private room said loudly.
he had to make a final struggle.
he really wanted the bronze dragon cauldron.
"3.5 billion."
long chen immediately raised the price, calm and composed.
at this moment, the entire place was silent, but many people\'s breathing became rapid.
"3.6 billion."
the voice from the no. 1 private room spoke again.
"four billion."
long chen raised the bid without hesitation.
it was as if no matter how much you offered, i would take it.
the old man in the no. 1 private room trembled when he heard four billion.
four billion, this price, he no longer dared to open his mouth.
four billion, who could compete with that?
in the end, long chen successfully won the bronze dragon cauldron with four billion, and the auction came to an end.
after that, the manager of the auction house came to pick long chen up personally and brought him to the trading area.
after all the procedures were completed, long chen paid eight billion and five million yuan and got the item he won.
five million yuan worth of chinese knotweed, two billion yuan worth of ancient swords, two billion yuan worth of white jade cups, and four billion yuan worth of bronze dragon cauldron.
"mr. long, did you come alone?"
the manager asked carefully.
"yes," long chen nodded.
"mr. long, i\'ll send 20 people to escort you back." the manager said.
" there\'s no need for that. two people are enough. just find a car and send it back to me. " long chen said.
"alright, i ..."
before the manager could finish, the phone suddenly rang.
"i\'m sorry, mr. long. i have to take this call."
the manager answered the call.
after a few more words, the manager hung up and said to long chen, " "mr. long, our boss will be here soon. she would like to meet you."
"alright," he said.
long chen did not refuse.
this was because long chen felt that he might come back to this auction to buy these ancient things in the future.
a few minutes later, an alluring woman with long flowing hair came to the office.
the moment long chen saw this person, he was stunned.
he had seen this woman not too long ago. she was the one who had accompanied zhao tian to wushuang\'s school, the one called han yun.
han yun was about twenty-six or twenty-seven years old. she was mature and charming, with curves in all the right places. she was almost perfect from any angle.
every frown and smile was filled with an unimaginable charm, charming yet extraordinary.
"mr. long, we meet again."
han yun walked up to long chen and smiled very gently.
"i didn\'t expect it to be you," long chen said.
" haha, i didn\'t expect that you would be the biggest sponsor tonight. fate, it\'s all fate. "
han yun laughed coquettishly. although she was trying her best to restrain herself, there was still a hint of \'flirtatious\' in her voice.
"let\'s find a place to chat?" long chen asked with a smile.
"sure, but you have to send this eight billion yuan worth of stuff home first." han yun said.
"there\'s no hurry. it\'s just the time for a meal. it\'s no big deal."
"that\'s good." han yun turned to the manager. " look after mr. long\'s stuff. if anything goes wrong, you know the consequences. "
the manager nodded repeatedly, not daring to look han yun in the eye. he said respectfully, " "don\'t worry, boss. i\'ll keep an eye on it."
"yes."
han yun nodded slightly.
not long after, han yun and long chen walked out of the auction house together. outside the auction house, they found a restaurant and ordered a few dishes.
the two of them chatted as they ate, and their conversation was quite congenial.
han yun was extremely curious about long chen. she wanted to know how long chen was able to create a trillion-dollar eastern dragon shadow group at such a young age. she was curious about what kind of shocking abilities long chen had.
little did he know that long chen was also extremely curious about han yun.
he was curious as to why this woman had the ability to control such a large auction house. she was definitely not a simple person.
therefore, the two of them who were both curious about each other naturally brought up these questions as they chatted.
" mr. long, there are rumors on the streets that the medicinal pills that dragon doctor used to help the world were all made by you. is that true? "
han yun asked long chen naturally.
"yes." long chen did not deny it. he smiled and said, " it\'s a pill that can cure the \'terminal illness\' in the world. it can save people from fire and water, and at the same time, it can also help me. this is why the dragon doctor\'s help the world has become a legend in just a year. "
" hehe, mr. long, it seems like you know what i want to know. we really do have some telepathy. "
han yun said coyly.
" i don\'t know if you know me, but i can read your mind through your eyes. the eyes are the windows to the soul. the more beautiful the eyes are, the more information i can read from them. "
long chen said with a smile.
"really? mr. long, did you use this trick to pick up girls in the past?"
han yun stared at long chen.
"no, i don\'t usually pick up girls. it\'s the girls who chase me."
"i don\'t believe you." han yun said, " unless you can prove something to me. you can guess what i\'m thinking right now. if you\'re right, i\'ll kiss you, or you can ask for something. as long as it\'s within my power, i\'ll agree to it. of course, if you lose, you\'ll receive the same punishment. do you dare? "
"it\'s obvious that you\'re going to lose, so why do you still want to compete? beauty han, i think you should just forget it. "
"i\'m not afraid of losing. i just want to know if you can read my mind from my eyes. if you don\'t dare to compete, then it means that you were talking nonsense just now."
"since you want to know so much, then come, i\'ll fulfill your wish. look into my eyes."
long chen looked straight into han yun\'s eyes.
