The price increase was steep for our table, but it also left a lot of room for others to take pictures.
Therefore, the people at our table gave others the impression that they were inhumane and were charging extravagantly for the goods they wanted to photograph.
Not long after, my "target" arrived, and it was also Xu Jinhyuk's "target".
"The next item is a Tang bronze official kiln underglaze color pot imitated during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty."
"The reserve price is one million, start bidding now!"
As the host called out the name of the goods, a "genuine" underglaze colored pot from the Tang Dynasty bronze official kiln was placed on the display.
I secretly glanced at Xu Jinhe, obviously he was going to take action!
"One million and three hundred thousand!"
Before Xu Jinhe could take action, I took the lead and started bidding.
Xu Jinhyuk glanced at me, and of course I responded with a rather arrogant look.
Just tell him: I am not short of money!
"1500000."
Xu Jinhyuk followed closely behind.
Then one or two people started to raise prices, but they were all suppressed by Xu Jinhe and I's "inhumane" price increase speed.
At this time, the price of the colorful pot has been called 6.2 million.
"Six million three hundred thousand!"
Xu Jinhyuk once again surpassed me, but not by much.
I thought about it for a while, but the chairman's hammer speed was much faster than other bids.
"Six million and three hundred thousand, is there a new price? Six and three million once, six and three million twice..."
Just before I thought about it, the host had already called for the third time and was about to swing the hammer.
"Eight million!"
I just screamed at the price!
Even based on the price collected by the museum, this Tang bronze official kiln underglaze color pot is only 7.8 million.
The host was stunned for a moment, and the bidding was not as fast as before.
I could see that the host was staring at Xu Jinhyuk in the audience.
But Xu Jinhyuk's eyes were staring at me.
There was confusion and anger in his eyes.
I responded in kind and gave him a look, "We are at odds!"
When we were in high school ten years ago, Xu Jinhyuk and I were each other's masters and apprentices.
He taught me some tricks of the old man, and I taught him some tricks of looking at antiques.
Xu Jinhe could have continued to bid, but he knew that my price had exceeded the price of the genuine product and was not worth it.
I can even see that he plans to come to me after this auction to settle the "debt" in front of him.
"Eight million once, eight million twice, eight million three times, deal!"
As the host brought the hammer down, this thing was mine.
I looked at today's goods, and this is the only target item. The rest will be auctioned tomorrow morning.
There are two auctions in total, which are basically held at sea.
I estimate that starting tonight, the boat will return to the estuary tomorrow afternoon, sail upstream, and return to Hezhou in the evening.
Tao Ronghua would definitely choose to blow up a ship at sea.
The first auction was over and all the cameras were focused on our table.
To put it mildly, he is the most handsome guy in the whole room; to put it badly, he is the most stupid and rich guy in the whole room.
Others would rather not take any of them, but our table would rather take them all.
But by the time the camera turned around, I had already excused myself to the bathroom and was watching secretly from behind the door at the end of the corridor.
"Although it is a fake for the Tang and Song Dynasties, can't it be considered genuine if it is imitated in the Qing Dynasty?"
Han Shijin stood up with a smile and walked to the reporter, "Our Han family has always been generous. The purpose of Mr. Tao's charity auction is charity."
He also specially prepared a cane with a golden dragon head and a tuxedo, making him look like a European and American gentleman.
"Uh...we were sent by Uncle Seven."
"Uncle Seven has always been enthusiastic about charity. We are willing to see so many authentic products taken this time."
On the other side, Zhou Jianguo also spoke high-sounding words, while Su Yu stood quietly beside him.
I was just wondering, how could such a "explosive" girl pretend to be like this in front of the camera?
I didn't come back until the reporter finished the interview.
At this time, Tao Ronghua came over with a smile while rubbing his hands.
The look in his eyes was like looking at two top-notch swindlers who had to pay tens of millions in compensation if they couldn't get the goods.
"Uh... Mr. Han, Mr. Zhou, you have a lot of objects to take pictures of. Could you please pay the price first?"
I saw him saying this, and kept mumbling something in his mouth.
"Mr. Tao, isn't there another auction?"
"Our Mr. Zhou came here with a huge sum of money. Mr. Tao, don't worry about money."
I stepped out and spoke confidently.
"Who is this……"
Tao Ronghua looked at Zhou Jianguo and asked for an introduction.
"This is Brother Shen, a talented young man we just found."
Zhou Jianguo thought for a while before thinking about the words.
"Brother Shen, nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you."
Tao Ronghua and I shook hands "cordially" and said, "We will pay the money together when the auction ends tomorrow. Mr. Tao can rest assured."
"Me too. My father gave me a lot of money this time. When the show is over tomorrow, I will give it to you as well."
Han Shijin followed suit, nodding his head from time to time, pretending to still have something to say.
The auction has officially ended here, and all the big guys have gone back to their rooms to rest until the second session tomorrow.
When a group of us went to Zhou Jianguo's room to rest, sure enough, Xu Jinhe came.
"Shen Fan, are you crazy?"
Xu Jinhe's original calm demeanor has turned into agitated, "If you want to grab goods, you can't afford to offend the boss behind me!"
"Can't afford it?"
I smiled slightly and said, "I remember hanging out with me when I was still in the capital. Is that what you told others?"
"I'm not kidding you. I hope you can hand over the goods obediently when you go back."
"Otherwise, you might not be able to survive in this world!"
Xu Jinhe swallowed and became slightly less anxious, "This is my last advice to you, an old classmate."
"Then let me give you a piece of advice. This auction is just a joke."
I spoke slowly, the plan had been accomplished, and it was confirmed that Xu Jinhe did not know that Tao Ronghua was going to blow up the ship.
"Are you kidding? Well, that's right. It was already decided internally. You come out to disrupt the situation. Is it fun?"
Xu Jinhe almost shouted, "Don't forget, what is your current status!"
"It seems that you and Tao Ronghua are not the same group."
"Do you know that Tao Ronghua wants to blow up the ship?"
Before I finished speaking, Xu Jinhe was stunned.
The anger and anxiety in his eyes turned into confusion at this time, "Evidence, otherwise I won't believe you."
"Okay, let's go."
With that said, I grabbed Han Shijin and headed to the lower cabin together.
In front of the engine room, I followed Xu Jinhe's instructions, put on sailor's clothes and blended in.
"Will it not be discovered?"
