Chapter 1535 Bidding
"Seventy million!" Lu Fan seemed to be angered by the old man's provocation and directly raised the sign.
"This gentleman bids 70 million. Is there anyone else who bids higher?" The auctioneer suddenly became excited.
As an experienced auctioneer, he knew that he had once again encountered his favorite link between rich people.
Every time he encounters this kind of thing, he can auction some mediocre auction items for a price that far exceeds their own value, and then make a lot of money!
This time is obviously no exception.
Although the painting in his hand is an authentic work by Bada Shanren, considering the quality and size of the work, it is considered a success if the final transaction price reaches 5,000.
However, due to unknown reasons, two people at the scene got into an inexplicable fight.
That means that this painting is likely to be auctioned for over 100 million!
The auctioneer became very excited. If this painting really fetched a price of over 100 million, he would make a fortune!
"Is there any higher bid than this young and promising gentleman?"
He deliberately mentioned Lu Fan's age just to hint to the old man in front of him not to admit defeat.
Don't live for such a long time and end up worse than a young man!
"Hmph! Eighty million!"
Sure enough, the old man was never willing to lose to a young man, so he immediately raised the price by another ten million.
After shouting, he turned back again and glanced at Lu Fan provocatively.
So good!
The auctioneer was so excited that he almost screamed.
Originally, this situation required him, as the auctioneer, to use words to stimulate the emotions of both parties and make both parties less rational.
But unexpectedly, before he could speak, the old man took the initiative to provoke him.
Which young man can endure such provocation?
Lu Fan seemed like he couldn't bear it now.
"Eighty-five million!"
"Ninety million!" The old man refused to give in.
"Ninety-five million!" Lu Fan continued.
"I'll give you 100 million!" The old man seemed angry.
"Okay, I'll let you." Lu Fan spread his hands, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair and closed his eyes.
"The current price of this authentic landscape painting by Bada Shanren is 100 million. Is there anyone who bids higher?" The auctioneer's tone was several times higher than before.
He waved the small hammer and stared at Lu Fan with fiery eyes, as if expecting the latter to continue to increase the price.
However, Lu Fan seemed like an old monk who had fallen into trance and never opened his eyes again, let alone increased the price.
"One hundred million once, one hundred million twice, deal done! Let us congratulate this old gentleman for taking the lead and winning today's first auction item!"
The auctioneer could only knock the hammer with some reluctance.
It stands to reason that this painting would be enough to fetch 100 million.
But the intense and exciting bidding just now ended in an instant, leaving the auctioneer feeling a little unfinished.
If only those two people could bid for a while longer, they might be able to raise the price of this painting to 200 million.
Could it be that that young man only has 100 million, and he can't afford it if it exceeds this price?
The auctioneer was thinking in his mind.
He felt it was a pity, but he kept moving his hands and quickly took out the second auction item.
The second auction item is a piece of porcelain, and it is the emperor of porcelain, Yuan blue and white.
The value of this thing was even higher than that of Bada Shanren's landscape paintings, so the bidding became even more intense.
Soon, the price was hit to 100 million, and Lu Fan also joined the competition when the price was hit to 60 million.
"When did you become interested in these things? I know you are rich, but there is no need to throw them around like this, right?"
Bingxue finally couldn't help it and whispered in Lu Fan's ear again.
She had known Lu Fan for a short time, but in such a long time of contact, she had never heard that the latter had a hobby of collecting.
In Bingxue's view, collecting is meaningless if it is not a true hobby and is a pure waste.
Of course, some people collect to make money, or to preserve the value of their assets.
But Bingxue knew that Lu Fan didn't need to do this at all.
Don't look at some antique cultural relics that can earn millions, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions after just flipping a few hands. For ordinary people, it is almost impossible to earn money in a lifetime.
But who is Lu Fan?
He is the actual boss of Izumo Pharmaceutical!
No matter how much antique cultural relics increase in value, the money is nothing to Izumo Pharmaceutical.
That's a giant hen that lays golden eggs with a net profit of tens of billions a year!
Therefore, Bingxue really couldn't understand what Lu Fan's purpose was for suddenly coming here to participate in this auction.
Didn't he say that he was going to do something that he was not sure about?
Participating in an auction shouldn’t be considered something uncertain, right?
Bingxue believed that if Lu Fan was willing, he could even buy all the items in today's auction.
Even though everyone else present was the richest man or something, when it came to the cash in their hands, none of them could compare with Lu Fan.
"You will know soon. We can't talk about this yet!" Lu Fan shook his head, making an inscrutable look, then turned his head and raised the sign in his hand.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"One hundred and fifty million. The gentleman behind has bid one hundred and fifty million. There is no higher price!"
The auctioneer shouted at the top of his lungs, and at the same time he was ecstatic in his heart.
Before, he thought Lu Fan only had 100 million, and he couldn't help but feel a little regretful.
Of course, 100 million is not too small, but at an auction of this size, you really can't buy anything.
The auction items at auctions are usually cheaper at the front and more expensive at the back. The first one was priced at 100 million, and the prices for the subsequent ones will definitely not be lower.
In this case, what's the use of 100 million?
Of course, the auctioneer didn't feel sorry that Lu Fan couldn't buy anything, he just felt sorry that there was one less person to help him raise the price.
After all, there are very few people who can bid as neatly as Lu Fan did just now.
Therefore, when the auctioneer heard that Lu Fan's bid exceeded 100 million, he was extremely excited.
As long as this kid has money, as long as he has money, he can raise the prices of subsequent auction items!
"One hundred and sixty million!"
Lu Fan's bid was quickly suppressed again.
However, this time, it was not the old man who took action, but a bald man sitting on the other side.
Lu Fan looked over, and the big man happened to look over too. Like the old man just now, the big man also showed a provocative smile to Lu Fan.
These all fell into Bingxue's eyes, filling her heart with doubts.
