"four million!"
Ye Anjin saw that Cheng Yueliu was bound to win, so he added more firepower.
"Oh, this Miss An has a very discerning eye. She can tell right away that this is a good treasure. Come on, does anyone want to increase the price?"
The auctioneer raised his hammer and said, "Four million at a time..."
Cheng Yueliu was anxious, "I'll pay five million!"
"Five and a half million!"
Good night, calm and relaxed.
Cheng Yueliu was angry, "Six million!"
Ye Anjin looked at the anxious Cheng Yueliu and knew that her vanity and competitiveness had been fully aroused.
This psychological effect of making money, similar to gambling, will make Cheng Yueliu want to stop and become aggressive to the point of madness.
Just as Ye Anjin was about to continue to increase the price, the little puppy next to her leaned lazily on the backrest and put an arm on the back of her chair.
This act of crossing the line is ambiguous.
Ye Anjin's territory was violated, and he glared in warning like a hairy man.
No, the little milk dog was uncharacteristically expressive, "Just shout, it's mine within 100 million."
Ye Anjin gave him a "you're stupid" look, fearing that he would misunderstand, so he didn't continue to increase the price.
"Is there any increase in price? Six million for the first time... Six million for the second time... Six million for the third time... The deal is done! Congratulations to Ms. Cheng Yueliu on the treasure furnace!"
The auctioneer dropped the hammer.
There was a burst of applause from the surroundings, and many people congratulated Cheng Yueliu and Xie Chenfei.
Cheng Yueliu's face was full of joy and he proudly raised his chin to Ye Anjin.
Ye Anjin was "sullen".
Like to call others stupid? She, Cheng Yueliu, is really stupid.
However, it is difficult to say whether there is any behind-the-scenes operation.
Some people give gifts and bribes just to be legitimate, and the black money is laundered through auctions. Buyers know that the auction items are fakes, but they still bid at high prices.
This is a well-known secret in your circle.
Cheng Yueliu might have intended to give a gift to some "collector" when he bought such a shabby thing.
The night is peaceful and quiet, watching the changes.
"understand?"
At this time, the little puppy next to him was taking advantage of the situation, and his eyebrows were slightly raised in an evil and seductive manner.
Ye Anjin glanced at him with disgust and didn't bother to talk.
"I'm asking you, do you understand?"
The little puppy is very persistent, and his honest voice is very seductive.
"We are not familiar with each other, do you understand?"
Ye Anjin's face was expressionless and his eyes were not squinting.
“Just add us on WeChat and chat and we’ll get used to it.”
The little naughty dog grandly placed the phone in front of her and raised his chin to instruct her.
Ye Anjin pulled his arm off, threw his phone back, and gave him a cold look.
The little puppy was neither anxious nor annoyed, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, not knowing what he was thinking.

The next lot is a Ming Jiajing blue and white infant play bowl.
It has an extraordinary origin and is about a tortuous love story of Tang Bohu.
The auctioneer's words were vivid and tear-jerking.
There was a sigh of relief in the audience.
Ye Anjin couldn't laugh or cry.
In the collecting circle, if you want people to be willing to suffer losses and be fooled, being able to tell stories is one of the essential skills for sellers.
The origin of antiques is called anecdotes.
Antiques with a history are fun to play with.
It doesn't matter whether the anecdote is unsubstantiated or there is no way to verify it. As long as the plot is touching, rumors can be spread to drive up the market price.
Making up anecdotes about fake antiques can deceive real collectors, and making up anecdotes about real antiques can deceive fake collectors. You have no objection to whether the authenticity is true or false.
Ultimately it's well worth the asking price.
As for the type of anecdote, suspenseful, emotional, repaying gratitude, emergency, ancestral, and legacy of turmoil, it varies from person to person and can be tailored to the situation.
On an occasion like today, all the people who come are arrogant and wealthy dignitaries. There are few who really know how to collect and many who are arty.
The auctioneer made up a sensational story about Tang Bohu ordering autumn incense and holding a bowl to ask for water to test his love, and these people actually believed it.
Ye Anjin was also speechless.
There are many similar versions.
When Tang Bohu lit autumn fragrance, he not only held a bowl to ask for water, but also held a cup to ask for tea, a basin to ask for vegetables, and... he held what he could hold, and he who couldn't.
Anyway, the talented Tang Bohu did not know when he became an effective member of the Beggars Gang, and he used his love as an excuse to do pyramid schemes.
Everything Tang Bohu handled was valuable and has been preserved intact to this day. It was also tracked and recorded every time.
Then, in thousands of furnaces, cups, basins, and jars, you meet the one you meet. In the wilderness of endless time for millions of years, there is not a step too early or a step too late, just enough for you to catch up. On.
There was nothing else to say, except to ask gently: "Do you want to buy it? Pay for it."
There are people who believe such an illogical plot and are willing to be deceived without stopping...
Ye Anjin took a careful look at it with a rigorous and professional attitude.
This blue and white bowl is obviously a modern handicraft, and you don't even take it seriously. The stamp on the bottom looks fake at first glance.
Going to the flea market is a hundred and eighty at most.
Still serious about bidding.
Someone shouted 1.8 million, and someone immediately added 100,000.
Later, adding 100,000 yuan at a time was no longer enough, and it was increased to 200,000 and 300,000 yuan.
Is it the fool who has more money, or the fool who has more money?
Not many people who come here are really stupid.
They are all ruthless masters of fame and fortune, with desires and calculations clamoring from every pore.
These people are either struggling in the underworld, or they are comfortable in the white way. They are all human beings.
If a man is smart and foolish, he must have some plan.
Don't look at them holding up placards like 250, they are all calculating carefully, thinking about doing what others want to gain fame and fortune.
Looking at this situation, the price will not be lowered for a while.
Ye Anjin was bored and looked around for her benefactor.
He asked her to come here for other purposes besides helping her "encounter" Xie Chenfei and Cheng Yueliu.
Does he want her to help him take pictures of something?
However, since the start of the auction, six lots have been taken.
Except for the second lot, the other five items were either shoddy or fake.
Ye Anjin was a little disappointed because he didn't see anyone who looked like his benefactor.
When Xie Chenfei raised his card, the broken bowl was worth 2.3 million.
"Hurry, there are so many people grabbing it, it must be a good thing. Hurry up and pick it up! If you put all the items in the capital auction, the price will at least triple!"
There are "bricks" in the back who are talking nonsense.
Immediately some people believed it, rushed to the front, and raised their placards bravely.
Xie Chenfei hesitated.
Cheng Yueliu held Xie Chenfei's wrist and raised the sign, "Three million!"
Xie Chenfei and Cheng Yueliu looked at each other, smiled, and slapped each other in public.
Ye Anjin had a panoramic view and his stomach was churning.
"The first time in three million! The second time in three million!"
The auctioneer's voice soared.
"Three and a half million."
The little puppy beside Ye Anjin lazily held up the sign.
Ye Anjin gave him a confused look. Did he really not understand or was he deliberately raising the price?
The little puppy blinked at her and smiled inscrutably.
Ye Anjin quickly looked away, fearing that he would mistakenly think that she was flirting with him.
"You can't go wrong with anything that Mr. Fu can like!"
The auctioneer looked around to stir up emotions, and the audience reacted violently.
"That's right, what Mr. Fu is interested in must be a good thing! I'll pay four million!"
"Four and a half million!"
"five million!"
"Six million!"
"I'll pay seven million!"
The bidding was fierce, one after another.
Ye Anjin never expected that the little milk dog would have such great appeal.
Looking at Xie Chenfei again, he tried to raise his sign several times but was overtaken by others. His face turned red and he looked like he was constipated.
"I-I'll pay eight million!"
Xie Chenfei finally took the opportunity to raise his card.
No regrets at the drop of the hammer.
Ye Anjin almost laughed.
Last time Cheng Yueliu paid 6 million for an urn, and this time Xie Chenfei paid 8 million for a begging bowl. The two products are a perfect match.
However, Ye Anjin discovered that the previous incense burner and this broken bowl were obviously made by one person in terms of their craftsmanship, age and condition.
Could it be that these two fakes have extraordinary origins and hidden mysteries?
Even if Cheng Yueliu and Xie Chenfei were blind, they would not be so blind.
What ulterior purpose do they want to achieve by paying high prices for these two things?
