As each auction item appeared, Chu He discovered a strange phenomenon: these competing items were significantly higher than the market price!
"Xiaoxue, don't you think the prices at the auction are too high?" Chu He turned to ask Leng Muxue.
"There's something I forgot to tell you!"
Leng Muxue pursed her lips and smiled, then lowered her voice and said: "Another major selling point of this auction is that bidders have the opportunity to dine at the same table with direct descendants of the Jiang family!"
"Tch! Do the Jiang family consider themselves Buffett?" Long Jiao looked disdainful upon hearing this.
"Ms. Long, if you are not in the business world, you don't know that the Jiang family has greater influence in China than Buffett!" Leng Muxue raised the corners of her mouth, showing a winner's smile.
"you......"
When Long Jiao saw that the other party dared to laugh at her, she was so angry that her breasts ached. If Chu He hadn't been there, she would have stabbed this bitch in the head with a sword!
After hearing this, Chu He suddenly realized that no wonder these people were willing to spend more money because they all wanted to climb high.
While several people were talking, they heard the auctioneer on the stage saying to everyone:
"Everyone, the next item up for auction is a treasure map. Whoever gets the map will be richest in the world!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, there was an uproar in the audience, and everyone couldn't help but talk about it.
"Why is the treasure map so powerful? Is it real or fake?"
"I think it's 80% fake, otherwise the Jiang family would have sent people to dig for treasures themselves!"
"It makes sense!"
"..."
The audience was chattering. No one believed that the so-called 'treasure map' was real. Only the Gong family and Chu He looked seriously and looked at the etiquette lady who walked on the stage without blinking.
When the hostess displayed a piece of shredded cowhide from the tray in front of everyone, there was a burst of boos.
Obviously, no one believes that this piece of old cowhide is a treasure map!
Seeing that everyone didn't believe it, the auctioneer smiled lightly and explained: "There are five treasure maps in total, and this is just one of them. The starting price is five million."
"Isn't it a bit expensive to sell a broken picture for five million?" Someone questioned on the spot.
"I'll give you 10 million!"
Unexpectedly, the next second there was a sound of increasing the price at the auction, and it was directly increased to tens of millions. Who is so awesome?
Everyone turned to look for the sound and found that the person bidding was none other than the representative of the Gong family, Gong Lei.
"The Gong family wants the treasure map. I hope you won't raise the price with me, otherwise I will be very angry!" Gong Lei was already holding back his anger, and now he was threatening people nakedly.
"..."
No one dares to refute. After all, the Gong family in Guangdong is famous, just like the Ma family in Suhang. Who among ordinary people dares to provoke?
The auctioneer's face turned dark. Is this going to let people make money?
Thinking that the auctioneer glanced back, only to find Jiang Hong nodding towards him. The big boss actually agreed to the Gong family doing this?
"Ten million, once."
"Ten million, twice."
"Ten million......"
Just as the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, a faint voice suddenly came from the scene:
"Fifteen million!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the auction site was filled with noise. Everyone found out that the bidder was Chu He, and they couldn't help but talk about it.
"Is Chuhe going to go against the Gong family?"
"The Gong family is rich and powerful. No matter how powerful Chu He is, he is still influential in Jiangzhou. How can he possibly fight with the Gong family?"
"Oh, you are young after all. How can you raise random prices at the Jiang family's auction!"
"..."
Everyone was talking in low voices, and almost no one was optimistic about Chu He. Instead, they felt that he was disrupting the auction just to vent his anger.
When Gong Lei heard someone shouting the price, he immediately got angry. He glared at Chu He fiercely and gritted his teeth and said:
"Boy, are you tired of living if you dare to steal something from me?"
"Who are you?"
Chu He smiled coldly and said calmly: "At auctions, everyone depends on their ability. If you are not convinced, keep raising the price. If you can't afford it, don't come out and embarrass yourself!"
"hiss!"
Everyone took a breath after hearing this. If you look at Jiangzhou, Chuhe is the only one who dares to talk to the Gong family like this, right?
"What? You said I can't afford it!"
Gong Lei's lungs were about to explode when he heard this. You must know that the most important thing the Gong family lacks is money.
"What can you afford? Why don't you bid?" Long Jiao saw the excitement and cheered from the side without taking it too seriously.
"You little bitch, just wait for me!" Gong Lei gritted his teeth.
"Damn your sister!"
According to Long Jiao's character, she was bound to take action. Fortunately, Chu He stopped her and whispered: "Leave this person to Lin Yue!"
"Yes!"
Long Jiao slapped her forehead and asked as if waking up from a dream: "Where is the foot-washing king?"
"The King of Feet Washers?"
"It's Lin Yue!"
Long Jiao playfully spat out her sweet tongue at Chu He, which made Leng Muxue next to her roll her eyes and thought to herself, "Why is the underworld daughter pretending to be cute? Does it fit your personality?"
"Don't worry, you will see him when the auction is over!" Chu He smiled lightly.
When Gong Lei saw the two of them talking and laughing, he didn't take him seriously at all and became even more angry. He immediately said angrily:
"I'll give you 50 million, country bumpkin, let me see how you can follow!"
Not only everyone present, but also the auctioneer was stunned by this offer. After all, it was just a piece of cowhide with a legendary treasure, but it was just a legend!
Chu He smiled calmly, raised his hand and said lightly:
"One hundred million!"
"What?"
Gong Lei's eyes almost popped out when he heard this, and the others were also so shocked that they were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside. What about a piece of broken cowhide?
But some people realized that neither Chuhe nor the Gong family were ordinary families. They could pay such a high price. Could it be that the cowhide was really a treasure map?
"My little friend, our Gong family has no enmity against you, why are you targeting us?" Butler Zeng finally couldn't help but speak, looking at Chu He sharply, full of warning.
"Isn't it the highest bidder at the auction? I like this cowhide too!"
"You Gong family can take pictures, but I can't?" Chu He shrugged and said calmly.
"If you must do this, little friend, have you thought about the consequences?" Butler Zeng suppressed his anger, and a murderous aura emanated from him.
"Stop talking nonsense, if you don't bid, the stuff will be mine!"
"Okay, I remember you!"
Butler Zeng gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, turned his head and said nothing.
"Mr. Gong, are you still bidding?" The auctioneer was happy. The higher the price of the item, the higher his commission. He wished both parties could raise the price higher and higher.
"Damn, I, I'll pay 120 million!" Gong Lei shouted through gritted teeth.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Chu He's voice sounded again:
"I'll pay 200 million!"
"Oh my god! Two hundred million, is Chu He so rich?"
"It's not just for the sake of anger, right? This is the Jiang family's auction, and there is no room for chaos!"
Chu He's quotation once again caused a stir. This time Gong Lei was so angry that his balls hurt. He glared at Chu He fiercely like he was looking at an enemy who killed his father. He really wanted to devour this kid!
