Su Mu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I am indeed interested in this tripod, but after I take the photo, I will still have to pay for it. How can I let Sister Cheng spend your money?"
Cheng Xiaobi smiled softly and said charmingly: "Brother Xiao Su, why are you so polite to my sister? My sister will have to rely on you in the future!"
"2.3 million, 2.3 million, is there any higher price?" The host shouted the price, especially hard. Although Cheng Xiaobi was the organizer, the auction still had to follow the process.
"3 million!" The first bidder looked this way and added 700,000 yuan.
"3.1 million!" Cheng Xiaobi quoted, adding little by little and not in a hurry.
"3.5 million!"
"3.6 million..."
Seeing that the prices kept increasing, and apart from a few houses, only one person was bidding, Su Mu was surprised and frowned at the person who made the bid.
I wondered, maybe that person also knew the origin of the tripod. At this moment, many people saw that the bidder was Cheng Xiaobi, and they all made guesses.
"Director Cheng is bidding?"
"Is there something weird about this ancient furnace? Cheng Xiaobi is a talented student in archeology and has a high knowledge of antiques."
"Shoot, if that's the case, let's take a photo and take a look!"
As a result, many people suddenly participated in the bidding, and within a few minutes, the value soared to 6 million.
And it was still going on, but at this price, everyone else who had been shouting for a round stopped.
They still lack confidence in the ancient tripod. Isn't it just an alchemy furnace?
There is no specific provenance yet. If it's nothing special, it won't fetch a high price when sold as a collection. Wouldn't it be an injustice if it were thrown into your hands? 6 million is not a small amount.
The price quadrupled. Cheng Xiaobi also hesitated. She lowered her head and asked Su Mu: "Brother Xiao Su, do you see anything unusual about this thing? 6 million is already far higher than the price. If it is really just pure I like it. I know a friend who has an ancient furnace at home, which is much better than this one. I will ask him to get it and give it to you."
Su Mu smiled: "Sister Cheng, I actually like this tripod because it was actually cast by an ancestor, and it has no special value."
When Cheng Xiaobi heard this, her mind turned around. She still needed Sumu to treat her illness, and her husband's illness also needed his help.
Besides, being friends with such a brilliant doctor is a good thing to be prepared for any eventuality.
To put it bluntly, although some intimate things happened during the treatment just now, it actually doesn't mean anything. Modern people have many one-night stands, and it's not like they don't know each other after it's over.
What's more, she couldn't help but act because of the treatment. Such ambiguity was not strong and sincere enough, so she immediately raised her sign again: "7 million!"
Thirty meters away from the two of them was the young man who had made the first bid, accompanied by a middle-aged man.
The young man looked back at Cheng Xiaobi and Su Mu beside him, his eyes cold and filled with resentment.
He whispered to the middle-aged man next to him: "I am determined to get this tripod, but I don't have enough money with me. You can take a picture of it for me, no matter how much you want."
The middle-aged man is Yuan Ping, a somewhat accomplished group company CEO in Shanghai.
But this young man was specially invited by him to treat his old father.
Originally he invited the young man's father, with whom he had a relationship, but he didn't know that it was his son who came.
Moreover, this son Leng Ao was very talkative, which made Yuan Ping very unhappy.
Fortunately, his medical skills were not bad, and the old man finally got better. At this time, he asked doubtfully: "Master Ma, I think this tripod is nothing. The price is so high now, completely beyond the collection value. Then Cheng Xiaobi is completely doing it on his own." Raise the price to get a higher commission, I think it’s better to give up!”
When Yuan Ping said this, he couldn't help but snorted in his heart. I loaned you money to take pictures. I won't be the one to pay for it then?
The young man looked at him angrily, suddenly stood up and said: "I have a bracelet here, made of twelve thousand-year-old sandalwood, and it was personally consecrated by a Thai master. It can be sold for eight million. I I want to exchange this bracelet for this ancient tripod. Is it possible?
I am Ma Weibiao from the Ma family in Henan. My father is known as the magic rejuvenator. Madam Ma, this cauldron is actually of no use to everyone. Our Ma family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine. We can use it to make medicine and so on. Please give it to everyone. Thank you very much. Anyway, if you have any illness in the future, Ma will definitely help, but if someone deliberately raises the price, huh..."
The first few words Ma Weibiao said seemed to be pleading, but the latter ones were quite threatening. Especially when he looked back at Cheng Xiaobi and Su Mu, his expressions were filled with anger and resentment.
Cheng Xiaobi shook her head slightly. She was the organizer. She wanted to curry favor with Su Mu now, but she would not worry about the Ma family in Henan.
I had never heard of it, so I stood up and said, "I also took a photo of this ancient tripod to give to a Chinese medicine friend, so I'm sorry."
When Ma Weibiao heard this, his eyes suddenly burst into anger, and he turned to Yuan Ping and said: "You help me take the picture, no matter how much it costs, how can I, Ma Weibiao, still rely on you for money? If you don't have any trust, your father's illness, then Just forgive me for being powerless, it’s none of my business if you die in the future.”
"ah--"
Yuan Ping's face turned dark when he heard this, and he almost wanted to curse.
And this was actually listened to by many people present.
Even Cheng Xiaobi and Su Mu listened.
Su Mu thought for a while and said, "Sister Cheng, before the auction ends, can you arrange for me to see the ancient tripod first? If possible, I can give this tripod to him."
Cheng Xiaobi pondered for a moment: "Okay."
Su Mu nodded, and then Cheng Xiaobi said with a smile: "Since Mr. Yuan is in trouble, I, Cheng Xiaobi, can't embarrass you. This ancient tripod is also entrusted to me by an old gentleman for auction, so let me give it to you!"
When Cheng Xiaobi said this, Yuan Ping was very grateful, and people in the audience also praised her.
Only Ma Weibiao glared at them fiercely.
Su Mu felt something in his heart, secretly thinking that this guy is really arrogant, and he is also a stingy and insidious guy.
Under Cheng Xiaobi's arrangement, Su Mu first secretly went backstage to check in secret.
Because the auction items cannot be traded immediately after being auctioned, they need to be paid and delivered after the auction is over. The time in between is just right.
With Cheng Xiaobi helping out, Su Mu will naturally not fail.
In fact, it was also the first time that he touched this furnace with his own hands.
Ten minutes later, Su Mu came out of the room where the furnace was placed, with a thick smile on his face.
Just now Cheng Xiaobi made an excuse to dismiss the staff and guarded the door by herself. When Su Mu came out and saw a smile on his face, she immediately asked: "How is it? Is it your furnace? If so, I'll make an excuse." stay."
Su Mu was a little excited at the moment. According to the method passed down from his ancestors, he found the secret grid on the furnace cauldron.
He also took out a volume of documents made of special materials and stored in a special way, which indeed contained the alchemy notes left by Su Qingyun.
With a "boo" sound, Su Mu was so excited and so grateful to Cheng Xiaobi that he held her face and kissed her when he came out.
"Oh--"
Cheng Xiaobi was surprised, she didn't expect Su Mu to do this.
