Seeing Ma Xiaoguang lose his smile, Sophie couldn't help but asked curiously: "Jack, why are you laughing?"
"Oh, I admire the wisdom of the Chinese people..." Ma Xiaoguang said with a straight face.
"Master, you smile so treacherously, are you afraid that something good will happen to you again?" The fat man next to him suddenly said loudly, and Ma Xiaoguang, who thought he was asleep, was startled instead.
"Oh, it's not a good thing, the fun has begun!" Ma Xiaoguang came back to his senses and said leisurely.
As soon as this item came out, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became more than five times more lively. This wine vase was auctioned by Sotheby's, which means it must have been appraised by many experts and expert eyes beforehand, and it definitely cannot be a fake. The goods, this is the Shang Dynasty, there is not much difference in this mythical era in Kegen legend, everyone is immediately eager to try and prepare to bid.
Sir He lowered his head and seemed to be talking to the entourage around him, and he seemed to be quite interested in this thing.
The guests in the waiting room released their enthusiasm for a while. Seeing that the atmosphere was already heated up and the effect had been achieved, the host cleared his throat and said: "Dear guests, we will start bidding now. The starting price is one thousand pounds, and the price will be increased by one pound each time." One hundred pounds..."
"Two thousand pounds!"
"Two thousand one hundred pounds!"
…
As the prices increased one after another, the people holding placards became more and more enthusiastic, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more enthusiastic, and the auctioneer's condition became better and better.
"The current bid is already six thousand three hundred pounds. Is there any higher price?" The auctioneer couldn't restrain his excitement and shouted.
"Eight thousand pounds!" A man in his thirties next to Lord He raised the number plate in his hand and made a bid.
"Sir He's bid of 8,000 is indeed extraordinary!" the host praised at the right moment.
The hall was filled with exclamation after hearing Lord He's quotation. Many people had stopped, but many were whispering to each other, creating a buzz.
The auctioneer allowed the buzzing to continue for a while, cleared his throat again, raised his voice and asked, "Everyone, is there anything else..."
"Eight thousand five hundred pounds!"
Before the auctioneer finished speaking, a somewhat stiff Mandarin voice sounded from the right side of the hall.
On Hong Kong Island, who dares to break up with Mr. He? Everyone couldn't help but focus on the bidder.
"Mr. Yasuda Zenzaburo of Neon Country bids eight thousand five hundred!" the auctioneer said loudly with a blushing face.
"Mom, why are there Japs everywhere? They are really rich." Lao Li spat.
"Now you know that the Japanese are scary? This Yasuda is one of the four major chaebols in the Neon Kingdom. The money is gone, and the lord has met his opponent this time." Ma Xiaoguang said with a playful smile on the side.
"What kind of statue is this really so valuable?" Sophie asked curiously with her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Ahem, probably, maybe, almost..." Ma Xiaoguang's answer made Fatty and Lao Li a little confused. Is this boss really having a mental problem recently? Why am I always so sticky when talking about things and answering questions?
"Ten thousand pounds!"
In the blink of an eye, Ma Xiaoguang raised the number plate in his hand and shouted loudly. This guy almost made Fatty and Lao Li fall under the chair.
Oh My God! Ten thousand pounds! This costs 100,000 yuan, which is a huge amount of money in this day and age. Many people cannot earn so much money in their lifetime. Has Master Senpo become confused again after seeing the romantic American beauty? With these ten thousand pounds, we should be able to fish out Boss Dai, right?
What a waste! The fat man's heart began to feel bad, and Lao Li felt like there was a buzzing in his ears. Although he had done several jobs with Chief Ma and Master Senpo, it was not like the two elites had never seen big money, but that was different, that It’s to make money, but this time it’s money!
When Sophie heard this, she looked at the heroic Young Master Senpo with admiration, her eyes full of care.
"Ahem, this is...Mr. Jack Ma from the Tianma Company in the beautiful country. He bids 10,000 pounds! Is there anyone higher?" The host looked at the list before making an introduction, so he hesitated. After all, everyone is not familiar with Mr. Jack Ma yet.
At this time, everyone in the hall also focused their attention on the unexpectedly born Mr. Jack Ma. They saw Mr. Jack Ma sitting there calmly and unfazed.
Lord He also turned around and saw this young man. Their eyes seemed to be intentional or unintentional, and they happened to meet each other. There seemed to be some apology in the young man's eyes, but it was not. The young man blinked, nodded heavily to himself, and then shook his head slightly...
The people on Yasuda Zenzaburo's side also saw this young man. This man just glanced at the people from the Neon Country lightly without much expression. This made Yasuda Zenzaburo quite angry. He frowned and whispered to his subordinates. sentence.
"Eleven thousand pounds!" Yasuda's entourage continued to increase the price.
"Eleven hundred pounds!" Ma Xiaoguang continued to increase the price.
"Twelve thousand pounds!" Lord He also began to increase the price.
What was originally thought to be a meeting of the two heroes has now become a Three Kingdoms Kill. The atmosphere in the hall is getting more and more intense, and the various voices are getting louder and louder.
"Thirteen thousand pounds!" The people from the Neon Country showed no signs of weakness and were determined to get this item.
Ma Xiaoguang hesitated for a moment, gritted his teeth, closed his eyes and raised the number plate again to bid: "Thirteen thousand five hundred pounds!"
As soon as the price came out, both Fatty and Lao Li could only smile bitterly. If this continued, would Boss Dai not be able to save him by then and would be completely naked and swim back to Yangcheng with this wine master in his arms? Isn’t this pretending to be stupid?
Seeing this, Sophie also pulled Ma Xiaoguang and said: "Jack, this thing is not urgently needed. I think it's better to forget it. Don't be brave!"
"Fourteen thousand pounds!" The old Sir Alex needed to increase the price.
"Fifteen thousand pounds!" The Neon man insisted.
"Fifteen thousand one hundred pounds!" Ma Xiaoguang continued to bid like a red-eyed gambler, but his tone could not hide his seriousness.
Seeing Ma Xiaoguang like this, Lord He shook his head and whispered a few words to his entourage.
"Everyone, Mr. Jack Ma bids 15,100 pounds. He has already created the history of our Hong Kong Island auction! Is there any higher bid?"
The auctioneer's words greatly stimulated the people in Neon Country. Before the auctioneer could finish his words, the bidding sounded urgently in the hall.
"Sixteen thousand pounds!" the neon countryman increased the price.
"Oh! My God! This is going to be a moment of history! Guys, sixteen thousand pounds! Sixteen thousand pounds!"
There was silence in the hall, only the auctioneer's words echoed in the air.
Zenzaburo Yasuda has put on a victor's expression, he is complacent and his joy is beyond words.
"Is there anyone with a higher bid?" The auctioneer's words are still echoing, as if he is celebrating the Neon people, or cheering them on.
"Sixteen thousand pounds for the first time!"
"Sixteen thousand pounds for the second time!"
"Sixteen thousand pounds for the third time!"
"make a deal!"
"Bang!" As the auctioneer dropped the hammer in his hand, the people in the Neon Kingdom burst into joy, and some even shed tears of excitement.
At this time, Ma Xiaoguang, who had just been given a shot of chicken blood, calmed down, smiled playfully, and even waved to Lord He.
The old prince also nodded calmly, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
What happened next was unremarkable to the people of Tianma Yangxing. Naturally, it was the handover of the treasures and the remarks of Neon Guo Yasuda and his gang. Ma Xiaoguang was not interested, so he said hello and led the two guardians and Sophie out of the auction. Hall, came to the elevator room.
"Master, you scare me to death. It's more than ten thousand pounds. If you really buy such a thing, I'm afraid I won't be able to go back..." The fat man sighed with some lingering fear.
"Really? I haven't thought of this yet." Ma Xiaoguang said nonchalantly.
"It's over! There's really something wrong with the young master's brain!" Lao Li and Fatty thought at the same time.
"Jack, don't mind, it's just an antique..." Sophie comforted.
While they were talking, Lord He and his party also came over.
Lord He seemed not to be concerned about the failure of the auction just now. Instead, he looked a little happy. When he saw Ma Xiaoguang, he smiled and said: "Young man, you are very interesting... Are you interested in chatting with an old man?"
"Sir, you are too polite. You dare not ask me to listen even if you wish." Ma Xiaoguang agreed politely. His expression was as usual, completely different from the bewildered look just now.
The two groups of people quickly arrived at the restaurant of the building hotel. When the restaurant saw that the old lord was coming, they naturally knelt down to greet them and immediately arranged a private room as quickly as possible.
After the guests and hosts were seated, the old lord who was the host first introduced himself and his group to everyone. Most of this group was his personal entourage and his nephews at home. There were so many people that Ma Xiaoguang didn't remember much, but there was one person who let him know. He was deeply impressed that it was the man holding the sign - He Shiguang!
He Shiguang is in his thirties, but perhaps because of his mixed-race appearance, he is quite handsome and looks younger than his actual age.
You may not be very familiar with this gentleman, but his son is famous, and he is a famous gambling king.
After the introduction of the host, Ma Xiaoguang also introduced himself and his party to the old lord. Fatty and Old Li were fine, but when they introduced Sophie, they had trouble with the full name and identity of the romantic American beauty.
"Hello Sir, I am Sophie de Castier, you call me Sophie... Mr. Ma and I are old acquaintances, and we met by chance in the auction hall." Sophie seemed to see Ma Xiaoguang's difficulties, He quickly took over the conversation and introduced himself.
After both parties finished their polite greetings, they sat down to drink tea and wait for the food to be served.
The old gentleman took a sip of tea and asked with a smile: "Mr. Ma, why did you just tell me not to take pictures of this wine master, but you yourself deliberately raised the price to the Neon people?"
Hearing this, Ma Xiaoguang knew that the drama was coming. He coughed lightly, adjusted his expression, and said solemnly: "Sir, you have a keen eye. If you take this thing, you will be in trouble... because this thing is Fake!"
