As two new families join the fray, the atmosphere at the venue becomes even more tense.
The bidding of the Zhao family and Ouyang family has reached staggering heights, and the newly joined families seem to show no sign of weakness.
The first was the Qin family. They had always been low-key and mysterious and suddenly took action, making the atmosphere in the venue even more intense.
Qin Mingxuan, the head of the Qin family, held up a placard to bid. His expression was calm, but his firm determination for the painting could be seen in his eyes.
Next, there is the Han family, which does not often appear in public.
The Han family is famous for its unique art collection, and they have an extremely precise appreciation of antique art.
Han Jinxuan, the representative of the Han family, made a bid. His expression showed a kind of indifferent elegance, but his enthusiasm for this competition was self-evident.
With the addition of these two families, the bidding became more intense.
Each price increase was in the millions, and the atmosphere in the venue was so tense that it could almost be cut with a knife.
Everyone present held their breath, waiting for the final result of this gamble.
Every bid they make is extremely determined.
Zhao Gangyan's face looked particularly serious under the dim light, and his eyes shone with calculation and determination.
Zhao Jianye was watching the bidding nervously from the side, thinking in a low voice from time to time.
Xiao Ye stood in the crowd, and his eyes fell on the picture of Spring Dawn in the Han Palace from time to time.
His brows wrinkled slightly, as if he was thinking about something.
The beauty of the painting undoubtedly attracted his attention, but his intuition told him that there seemed to be some unknown secrets hidden in the painting.
Zhao Yasi stood quietly aside, her eyes flashing with deep fascination with the painting.
Xiao Ye's eyes fell on the painting again. He took a deep breath and activated his divine pupil ability.
Under his special vision, every stroke of the painting becomes clearly visible.
He was suddenly surprised to find that although the painting was meticulous, it was subtly different from the real thing in some details.
A trace of surprise flashed in Xiao Ye's eyes. He stared at the painting, activated his divine pupil ability, and scanned every detail carefully.
[Fake, the three layers of canvas in the painting are cleverly laminated together. The surface painting almost perfectly imitates the original, while the inner layer is made of inferior materials. 】
He couldn't help but take a breath. Seeing everyone's condition, he could only say nothing for the time being.
In this fierce bidding atmosphere, both Zhao Gangyan and Zhao Jianye were deeply involved.
Zhao Gangyan's face showed a thoughtful look, and he seemed unusually calm every time he made a bid.
Zhao Jianye suddenly raised his head and made a bid in a calm voice.
"Seventy-five million."
His voice echoed in the auction hall, causing a slight uproar.
Zhao Gangyan followed immediately and decided to make a price as well.
"Eighty million."
His voice sounded somewhat tough, as if he was proving his determination and strength to everyone present.
Zhao Gangyan said to Zhao Jianye with a disdainful smile on his face.
"With that little money, it's better not to participate."
There was clear sarcasm and contempt in his tone.
Zhao Jianye said with an unconvinced look.
"Why don't you give it a try?"
As the bidding continued, the atmosphere became more tense.
The competition between several major families is like a silent battle, and every price increase brings invisible pressure.
In the end, the price was raised to 360 million, a staggering figure.
Zhao Gangyan's eyes became more profound, and every bid he made seemed extremely cautious.
His face no longer had the deep thought before, but a heavy expression.
He understood that the price was far beyond what ordinary people could afford.
Zhao Jianye looked a little anxious. He held the auction sign tightly and whispered to Zhao Gangyan.
"Are we still going to follow up on this price?"
There was a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
Zhao Gangyan was silent for a while, and finally shook his head, his voice low.
"The price is already too high, we need to think clearly." His words revealed reason and calmness.
The other bidders present gradually withdrew from the competition, leaving only the four major families.
Their competition with each other became more fierce, and each price increase was carried with determination and determination.
Zhao Yasi looked at all this, and her heart was filled with complicated emotions.
Xiao Ye stood aside, his eyes were deep.
Although he had already discovered the doubts about the painting, he was still interested in the auction.
He wanted to see whose hands this priceless fake would eventually fall into.
The host's voice sounded again.
"Three hundred and sixty million, the first time."
There was a hint of excitement and nervousness in his voice because the price had set a new auction record.
At the climax of the auction, Ouyang Hao from the Ouyang family showed his determination.
He was sitting in the front row, wearing a fine suit, with a calm and confident face.
His eyes were sharp and he seemed determined every time he made a bid.
Ouyang Hao's bid immediately caused a sensation. Other family members participating in the bidding looked at each other with complicated expressions on their faces. Zhao Gangyan and Zhao Jianye from the Zhao family looked at each other, with a trace of hesitation in their eyes.
In the tense atmosphere of the auction, Ouyang Hao suddenly stood up, his eyes were determined, and his voice was loud and confident.
"Four hundred million!"
His words echoed throughout the venue, causing murmurs of astonishment.
Zhao Gangyan and Zhao Jianye looked at each other with shock in their eyes.
Zhao Gangyan's face showed a thoughtful look. He knew that the price had exceeded the Zhao family's expectations, and he also realized that it might cause financial pressure on the family.
Zhao Jianye held the auction sign tightly, a trace of struggle flashed in his eyes.
He asked Zhao Gangyan in a low voice.
"Are you still going on? This price...
Zhao Gangyan shook his head slightly, his voice low and firm.
"No, we did our best."
"Let them go." There was reason and calmness in his decision.
Ouyang Hao looked extremely determined, his eyes scanning the venue sharply, as if he was challenging any possible competitor.
His posture betrayed an unshakable determination.
The host's voice sounded again, with a hint of excitement.
"Four hundred million, the first time!"
His words echoed in the venue, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the final deal.
As the host knocked the hammer for the third time, confirming that Ouyang Hao had successfully photographed the Spring Dawn in the Han Palace for 400 million, the entire venue burst into warm applause.
A proud and satisfied smile appeared on Ouyang Hao's face. He was obviously very happy with his victory.
Zhao Gangyan and Zhao Jianye appeared relatively calm, but Zhao Gangyan's eyes showed a hint of disappointment.
He clearly regretted not being able to photograph the painting.
At this moment, Xiao Ye quietly walked to Zhao Gangyan and whispered.
"Uncle, don't be sad. In fact, that painting is fake."
