Chapter 773: 768 needle tip against wheat awn

He also didn’t continue the conversation with Gu Chen and the Chairman at this time.

"Take me to have a look," he said, turning his head to the little chubby boy.

The little chubby boy nodded after hearing this, and immediately began the auction for today.

Generally speaking, the auction is held toward the end of the banquet.

However, under today’s circumstances, the auction had to be moved up, otherwise, if the argument between the two sides continued, it was hard to say what would happen. Rather than that, it was better to quickly sacrifice one person.

To let all the guests who should go home, go home, and those who should cook, cook.

Once no one was paying attention, he didn’t believe the two of them would still fight here. Of course, the collectible being discussed was very important as well.

If he remembered correctly, Mr. Tong was about to propose.

The auction was on the third floor of the hotel, and Gu Chen wasn’t keen on going.

Because he was not interested in those things at all and he didn’t have that much spare money to buy a bunch of things that he couldn’t use, so he really looked down on this so-called auction.

After arriving on the third floor, Gu Chen found his number plate and took a seat.

He noticed that the layout of the seats was completely random.

He was sitting in the second row.

The Chairman directly sat in the fifth row.

As for Tong Jingxin, he was not much better, currently sitting in the third row; this was the current seating arrangement.

Seeing such an arrangement, Gu Chen wasn’t sure if there had been any changes made later.

But these things weren’t important to Gu Chen anymore.

The only priority now was to quickly get the auction over with.

"Next, we will present the first item for auction, please stay tuned," came the announcement.

At the command of the little chubby boy, a staff member immediately came up with a small plate.

On the plate, at that moment, lay a fan as thin as a cicada’s wing.

The staff member then slowly unfolded the fan.

Many people interested in this sort of thing lit up upon seeing this.

Everyone recognized that this was indeed a fine treasure.

Although Gu Chen had said he didn’t have much interest in collecting, he could tell that this fan was not just simple.

Just by its appearance, one could feel that a lot of thought must have gone into making the fan.

By this time, the interested people already had their own mental price in mind.

"Well then, let’s officially begin now.

This fan was once used by Qi Baishi.

The starting price is one hundred thousand yuan, with each bid increment not less than one thousand yuan, please start the bidding," said the little chubby boy.

After the little chubby boy finished speaking, it was visibly noticeable that many gave up after hearing the starting price.

Because such items often have significant issues.

But this fan was indeed genuine.

"110,000!"

"Nobody move, I bid 130,000."

"150,000!"

The last bid of one hundred and fifty thousand emerged.

Suddenly, the whole room fell silent.

It was as if everyone had been given a dose of mute medicine and all fell silent.

They even looked at each other, eventually turning their gaze to the person who had just bid.

This bidder was none other than the Tong Family’s son from before.

At this moment, the Tong Family’s son displayed a beaming confidence, as if he were dismissing everyone around him, as if no one was worthy to compete with him.

Gu Chen was somewhat surprised when he saw this scene.

It was clear that Tong Jingxin was really quite rich, spending one hundred and fifty thousand on a fan.

When everyone heard about this event, they all thought he was just too rich, as if money was merely a trivial number to him, not worth mentioning at all.

"If my family wants something, others don’t need to consider it, you can’t compete with me,"

he said to everyone present at this time.

It felt like he was mocking them in a cold and sarcastic way.

After hearing this, everyone felt somewhat helpless for a moment, not knowing what to say.

However, Gu Chen still felt a slight fondness for the fan.

The main reason he wanted to buy the fan wasn’t for his own use; he intended to present it as a generous gift.

And the effect this item could have was far greater than six figures.

But it was just as Gu Chen had finished bidding that moment.

Boom!

This loud noise suddenly appeared.

In the end, everyone could clearly see that Tong Jingxin was angrily staring at Gu Chen.

Cracks had already appeared on the table in front of him.

"Kid, are you deliberately crossing paths with the Tong Family?"

He directly asked Gu Chen this at that time.

At this moment, Gu Chen slowly said, "I’d like to ask the organizers if I can actually bid?"

After he raised this question, the organizers immediately understood what he meant.

"Sir, please calm down and return to your seat. If this happens again, we will have to eject you from the auction venue,"

the chubby auctioneer said as he walked over.

But after he finished speaking, Tong Jingxin was not at all moved.

He still stood there, his gaze towards Gu Chen turning somewhat fierce at this moment.

Gu Chen had no reaction, just sitting there quietly.

After a while, the second lot was presented.

"I’m sure everyone knows what this is, no need for me to say more, glass-type jadeite."

"Such a jadeite is truly priceless, and many people are probably here for our jadeite. So, let’s get started now.

The starting bid for this jadeite is still one hundred thousand, with an increment of no less than ten thousand, the same rules as before,"

he said to everyone present at that time.

And at that time, many jewelers in the audience opened their eyes wide.

The debate between Gu Chen and Wang Ba earlier hadn’t caught their attention, but when the jadeite appeared, their spirits were instantly revitalized.

"One hundred thousand!"

"I bid a flat two hundred thousand."

"Thanks to everyone’s generosity, two hundred and fifty thousand."

"I bid two hundred and seventy thousand, we bid two hundred and seventy thousand!"

All of a sudden, it became chaotic.

And the price for this jadeite kept soaring.

Gu Chen was just waiting indifferently at that time.

However, it was just then, Tong Jingxin, who hadn’t won the previous item, seemed to still hold a grudge in his heart.

"I bid five hundred thousand!"

After his voice thundered out, suddenly the whole room fell silent.

Everyone didn’t expect Tong Jingxin to be crazy enough to offer such an astronomical price.
