Previously, Elder Dong had been talking over there, but now room number three was bidding for the《 Iceland Snow Diagram》. What was this old man trying to do? Was this a continuous stream of bad rules?
Thinking up to here, Jiang Xu still didn't say anything due to Elder Dong's face and strength. Even if this old fogey was purposely raising the price, he wouldn't care about an extra hundred or two hundred thousand. Therefore, he had the secretary beside him raise the sign, but his expression was indifferent.
"Mister Jiang is magnanimous. He offered three million and two hundred thousand, is there anyone else willing to raise the price?" Wang Kun looked at Jiang Xu with a slightly gloomy expression as he calmly continued with his hosting.
In the VIP room, Lin Jing raised the bid again without any hesitation. Wang Kun looked at Jiang Xu and smiled, "Young master Jiang Chen, it seems that the third VIP booth's Mister isn't willing to easily give you the《 Shi Lan Ao Xue Dian》. Do you still want to increase the price?"
Narrowing his eyes, a sense of anger emerged in Jiang Xu's heart as he muttered to himself, "Old man, isn't this a bit too much? With so many people watching here, forcefully raising the price, don't tell me that the Dong Clan Auction House doesn't intend to keep its reputation?"
Jiang Xu raised the bid yet again, forcefully suppressing his anger. He turned his gaze towards private room three.
As soon as he called out his bid, it was immediately overtaken again. However, this time, it wasn't private room three that was bidding, but the last row of the auction house.
Wang Kun glanced in that direction, then said with a smile, "Oh, so it's Miss Jiang. You're really good with your sharp eyes."
Hearing this, Jiang Xu's brow furrowed as he turned his head to look behind him. As expected, he saw Jiang Qianxue sitting there with a resolute expression on her face. His expression instantly turned completely gloomy. He coldly glanced at Jiang Qianxue, turned around, and continued to bid.
"Young master Jiang, please bid another three million four hundred thousand. Is there anyone else who would like to raise the price?" Wang Kun dutifully said. Right after he said that, a line of words appeared on the display screen in front of him. Following that, he smiled and announced, "private room number three bids 3.5 million!"
"Auctioneer Wang, what do you mean by that? Everyone present had heard it. It was without a doubt that the person in private room three was Elder Dong. This auction was held by him, and he was the one who held the item. Even the auction house was his! If he is unwilling to part with the《 Stone Orchid Sky Snow Diagram》, he can just withdraw it and compete with us here, it doesn't seem to be in line with the rules. " Jiang Xu could no longer hold back the rage burning in his chest as he said in a cold voice.
In fact, other than him, the other people in the auction house all had their own thoughts about this. However, they did not say it out loud. He had bid for the item in his own auction house, what difference was there between this and playing a hooligan?
No matter how rich those people were, it was impossible for them to compete against them. Just like what Jiang Xu said, if you don't want to sell it, then just don't take it out.
"Elder Dong has a respected and respected status in Eastsea City. Since he was young, my family has made me follow his example. No matter if it was being a person or doing business, he should first emphasize the word 'trust' like the old man. However, what we are doing today is truly disappointing! "
Sensing the change in the atmosphere within the auction house, a cold intent emerged in Jiang Xu's heart. He purposefully spoke of the serious matter again.
As soon as his voice fell, whispers sounded out in the auction hall.
Old man Dong was bidding from the third VIP booth by remote control. This action had greatly violated the rules of the auction. This was no longer a covert operation, but a blatant act of robbery.
Wang Kun stood on the stage with a smile on his face. As the chief auctioneer of the Dong Clan Auction House, there were at least eight hundred people in the Soaring Dragon Auction House. With a glint in his eye, he glanced in the direction of private room number 3. He seemed to be inquiring about something.
Seeing that the green light had lit up on the auction stage, Wang Kun knew what to do. He smiled and said, "Looks like everyone is mistaken. I was not clear about this earlier, Elder Dong is indeed in private room three. However, he is not the only one there. More accurately speaking, he is there to accompany another distinguished guest. I think everyone should have heard of his name before — — Mr. Baolin [Bao Lin Zhai]! "
"It was this Mister Lin and not Elder Dong that bid on the《 Iceland Snow Diagram》 earlier. I hope everyone won't think too much about it. As the Dong Clan Auction House had been established for a long time, its reputation had always been guaranteed. Moreover, Elder Dong had never thought about taking out his own treasure this time, so everyone could confidently bid for it. "I can vouch for the Dong Clan's reputation here. Elder Dong will definitely not step in personally."
"What?! It's that mysterious Mr. Lin? He's in private room three?"
The moment Wang Kun finished speaking, a few people in the venue let out a surprised sound. They turned around and looked towards the window of private room three, but unfortunately, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen.
"This Mister Lin is extremely mysterious. From the opening of the Treasure Forest Pavilion until now, he has never been seen, and no one knows who he is. I never thought that he would actually appear in Elder Dong's private auction today. Could it be that he has an extraordinary relationship with Elder Dong? " Another person said.
"This weekend, the Dong Clan Auction House has a special green flower auction. Dozens of green flowers are being auctioned off. "Tsk tsk, although the Jiaqing Cyan Flower can't be considered to be a phoenix feather or a unicorn's horn, it is still extremely rare to be able to take out so much at once!"
"Now is the time when the market price of blue and white porcelain is going up. Every stationery shop is sparing no effort to buy and stock up. In at most a year or two, the price will increase by at least 20%!" This Mister Lin has so many things he doesn't want to put away, and even wants to take them out for auction, it shows how unfathomably powerful he is! "
Hearing the words of those around him, Jiang Xu's face became so dark that it seemed as if water was about to drip out of it. Although Wang Kun said that the one bidding in private room number three was the mysterious' Mister Lin ', in his heart, he felt that those words were all nonsense. Who would believe him? That would truly be a fool!
It was a pity that there were quite a few idiots in the hall, so much so that they believed him without even the slightest hint of doubt.
Rage welled up in his heart, but Jiang Xu had no other choice. Of course he could continue bidding, but if he knew this was a trap, then wouldn't he become a fool?
Jiang Qianxue, who was sitting in the last row, also revealed a shocked and incredulous expression. Previously, when the《 Shi Lan Ao Xue Diagram》 was taken away, Lin Jing had confidently told her that her family must be Elder Dong, and that they would definitely appear in this auction.
Originally, she had only wanted to give it a try. After thinking of many ways, she finally found an invitation letter. When Shi Lan Ao Xue Diagram appeared, she was extremely excited in her heart, but the price kept soaring all the way, which also made her a little scared.
It was not easy for her to summon the courage to bid the highest price she could, but in the blink of an eye, she was suppressed by Jiang Xu. He had already given up all hope, but he didn't expect that private room three would be so determined to get it.
Lin Jing had previously said that Lin Mu Lin had received an invitation from Old Man Dong to buy the 'Icemountain Painting' when the time came. At that time, Jiang Qianxue had only heard him say that, and didn't pay too much attention to him. After all, Mr. Lin was too mysterious and she did not dare to have any thoughts about him.
Who would have thought that Lin Ming would actually appear and make a move!
Countless thoughts flashed through Jiang Qianxue's mind as she muttered to herself, "Could it be that Lin Jing went to ask Mister Lin to buy the « Heavenly Snow Painting of Shi Lan »?" He once said that he would give me a painting of the Zheng Banqiao, and now he's going to fulfill his promise? "
Thinking about it, Jiang Qianxue complained again: "This idiot, I just left the Jiang family, I finally got my Treasure Forest to stay in. Right now, I should hide my strength and focus on my studies, how could I be so reckless to ask Mr. Lin for help? "Doesn't this make people look down on him first? How will he continue to develop in the Precious Forest Temple?"
Regardless of what Jiang Qianxue was thinking about, Lin Jing's heart was thumping incessantly in private in private room number three.
The current price was close to the limit that he could bear. He had spent most of his cash previously, so if Jiang Xu increased the price, it would be difficult for him to continue. Fortunately, this guy didn't seem to have any intention of continuing and no one else bid in the auction house.
After Wang Kun asked for three times, there was a crisp sound. Finally, he confirmed that Lin Jing had taken down the « Heavenly Snow Painting of Shi Lan » with a single strike of his hammer.
After hearing that Han Yin had been finalized, Lin Jing was finally able to relax. To him, buying this painting was enough to satisfy him.
Elder Dong, who was at the side, smiled as he congratulated him: "Xiaolin, congratulations on successfully obtaining the《 Shi Lan Ao Xue Dian》!"
Hearing Old Dong's words, Lin Jing suddenly realized that the reason he had been able to succeed was thanks to Old Dong's help.
If not for Old Dong's previous announcement, everyone would have known that he was in private room three. Afterwards, when Lin Jing made his bid, he didn't explain in time, allowing the audience to guess what he wanted. Others couldn't say. At the very least, Jiang Xu definitely wouldn't give up so easily.
However, by doing so, Elder Dong was using his own reputation as a wager. If this matter were to spread, he would be the one to say anything.
His heart was filled with gratitude towards Old Dong. Lin Jing deeply bowed to him and said, "Old Dong, I, Lin Jing, will remember your help in my heart!"
"Haha, how could I have helped you? It was you who acted decisively and successfully took it. It has nothing to do with me." Old man Dong had a carefree smile on his face as he spoke to Lin Jing with a different tone in his eyes.
"Ah, yes. Elder Dong, you're right. It's me, Meng Lang!" At this moment, he couldn't say that it was Old Dong who had helped him. If others were to hear of this, then it would be the truth. This would be a huge blow to the reputation of the Dong Clan Auction House.
The auction of the《 Heavenly Snow Painting of Shi Lan》 was successfully completed. Now it was time for the fourth item. However, perhaps it was because of the earlier matter, although Wang Kun had already introduced the item very clearly and explained its enormous value, no one bid immediately.
No one bid. Just as Wang Kun was about to announce the auction, a line of words appeared on the screen in front of him.
