Chapter 73 Two Big Enemies
Someone finally bought the Phoenix Coronet and Bridal Gown in the lobby on the first floor for 5 million yuan. After all, it was purely handmade, so 5 million yuan was a normal price.
Yun Zijin and his companions did not participate in the bidding for many items that followed. Not until a Yuan Dynasty blue and white porcelain vase was introduced that Lu Yunque and his companions straightened their backs.
These people all wanted this blue and white porcelain vase.
"The starting price is 2 million, and each bid increase must not exceed 50,000. The bidding begins!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, people started bidding.
"3 million!"
"3.5 million!"
…
The competition among people on the first floor was fierce. Although Lu Yunque and his companions were paying close attention, they had not started bidding yet.
"From the looks of you all, you want to take a picture of this Yuan blue and white porcelain. How about I join in the fun?"
Yun Zijin suddenly said something, and Li Yuecheng quickly tried to persuade her: "No! Sister Yun, can I call you Sister Yun? My old man specifically told me to take a picture of this!"
When Li Yuecheng thought of Yun Zijin's bidding style at the last auction, he feared being dominated.
"This is also what my old man specifically requested. I hope Miss Yun will give me some space."
Fu Ze also explained his situation to Yun Zijin.
Lu Yunque didn't say anything. He was confident he was financially capable and didn't need Yun Zijin to show mercy.
"You can ask me not to participate, but what's in it for me?"
Yun Zijin put her hand on the quote machine and looked at Fu Ze and Li Yuecheng.
"This is our national chain supermarket 50% discount card, no time limit."
Li Yuecheng took a card from his wallet and handed it to Yun Zijin.
His supermarket is in the high-end market, and the prices are much higher than those in ordinary supermarkets.
This 50% discount can save you much money over the years.
"This is a Western restaurant I own. If you take this card, you can get a free meal."
Fu Ze also took out a card.
Yun Zijin raised her eyebrows. She was joking and didn't expect to get such benefits.
"Okay, I accept your kindness but will not bid for this Yuan blue and white porcelain."
Yun Zijin put the two cards into her purse.
Lu Yunque has already started entering the first amount.
"No! Brother Lu, you want to take a photo, too?"
Bengbu was shocked when Li Yuecheng and Fu Ze saw Lu Yunque's actions.
If Lu Yunque wanted to take the photo, wouldn't their action of "ceding land and paying compensation" to Yun Zijin now seem redundant and unfair?
"I never said I wouldn't shoot."
Lu Yunque did not feel embarrassed at all. They all came to participate in the auction, and whether to bid was theirs.
"No, since we all want to shoot, why are Fu Ze and I the only ones who received benefits from Miss Yun?"
Li Yuecheng only now realized that he and Fu Ze were making things difficult for Lu Yunque and Sheng Hao.
Yun Zijin shrugged. It wasn't her fault. They did everything voluntarily.
Sheng Yang sat next to him, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, trying to minimize his presence.
"If you don't bid, Mr. Lu will buy this Yuan blue and white porcelain."
Seeing that the two were still in a daze, Yun Zijin kindly reminded them they had received benefits.
Lu Yunque raised his eyes and glanced toward Yun Zijin, and the slightly upward curve of his eyes straightened a little.
It took too much effort to enter the quote.
Li Yuecheng and Fu Ze also quickly entered their quotes on their quote machines.
"The bid for Box 5 is 8 million! Uh... The bid for Box 5 is 10 million!
The competition for Box 5 is quite fierce! Is there a higher bid?"
The auctioneer was in high spirits throughout the day, but his voice had become a little hoarse.
"Box No. 1 bids 12 million! 12 million! Is there a higher price? Is there any higher price? Twelve million at a time!
The guest in Box No. 5 bids 15 million! Is there a higher price?
20 million! The guest in Box No. 5 bids 20 million! Twenty million at a time!"
In box No. 5, Lu Yunque, Fu Ze, Li Yuecheng, and Sheng Hao had almost entered the white-hot bidding stage.
Because he was not participating in the bidding, Yun Zijin sat leisurely in his seat and ate fruit.
"Why don't you just raise the price to 50 million?"
This way, other boxes should withdraw from the competition, and then they can compete among themselves.
According to Yun Zijin's idea, the goal is to shock the other party with the price.
"Although the color of this Yuan blue and white porcelain is very bright, it is not well preserved. Fifty million is a bit expensive."
Although Lu Yunque and his companions are rich, they don't want to be exploited.
Every penny they earn is earned through their hard work. They can spend as much as they want but will never be taken advantage of.
Lu Yunque considered it for a while and finally entered 30 million on the quote machine.
This is his bottom price. Anything above this is not worth it.
Fu Ze and others also quickly entered the price. They all had their reserve price, depending on who had the highest reserve price.
Fu Ze contributed 28 million, Li Yuecheng contributed 25 million, and Sheng Hao contributed 26 million.
Lu Yunque ended this war without gunpowder at a price of 30 million.
The auctioneer below was bidding excitedly. When the hammer struck for the third time, the Yuan blue and white porcelain officially belonged to Lu Yunque.
Li Yuecheng and Fu Ze suffered the most. Not only did they not film anything, but they also gave Yun Zijin benefits for nothing.
It's no different from losing both the wife and the soldiers.
"Um...how about I return the card to you?"
She didn't need this little money, and seeing they looked quite sad, she returned the card as a consolation.
"No, no! What's given to you is yours. We won't be sad about this little card."
What's important is that they didn't get the Yuan blue and white porcelain, not the card given away.
"Otherwise, what else do you guys like later? I'll let you have it?"
"Don't worry about them. Sheng Hao and I participated in the exhibition because our grandfather asked us to take photos of Yuan's blue and white porcelain.
They had anticipated this result, and they were all pretending. You don't need to be influenced by them."
Lu Yunque was unceremoniously sabotaging them. With just a few discounts and free-of-charge cards, did he still expect Yun Zijin to give in to them at the normal auction? What a wishful thinking!
Fu Ze and Li Yuecheng touched their noses and gave Yun Zijin two dry laughs.
Aren't they intimidated by Yun Zijin's financial resources? If they can't compete, why don't they take shortcuts?
"Is that so? Then I won't be polite next time?"
Yun Zijin first gave a few people a shot at prevention.
When she looked at the auction list, she saw many things she liked.
"Go ahead and shoot. If you can't win, they are not as skilled as you. Don't take it too seriously."
Yun Zijin nodded. She wanted to take pictures of everything she saw today!
Although her savings were increasing, she had little money to spend, making Yun Zijin uneasy.
