Chapter 2211: Green Suits Your Temperament
Yeah, this was my first time singing just now. I was a little nervous, but I'll be fine after a rest."As she spoke, she glared menacingly at Ye Bufan. It was all this bad guy's fault that she had been...The auctioneer, a mature woman in her thirties, immediately sashayed onto the stage with her alluring figure upon receiving instructions from the manager.
"Everyone, welcome to the Treasure Pavilion..."
After some polite formalities, the auction officially began.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome our first item up for auction today!
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a maidservant immediately walked onto the stage carrying a tray. She opened the crimson cloth covering it, revealing a piece of fiery red wood.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a very rare and precious hardwood called red sandalwood. It has three benefits."
First, it can be used as an auxiliary medicinal material for many precious pills.
Second, it has a fragrant smell that can repel poisonous insects. Carrying it with you will keep mosquitoes away.
Thirdly, it can nourish the body. If you put such a large piece of red sandalwood in your bedroom, it will guarantee that you are refreshed and have a strong body every day.
This piece of red sandalwood has a starting bid of 100 high-grade spirit stones, with each increase not less than 10 high-grade spirit stones. Now the bidding begins!
Ladies and gentlemen, seize this opportunity while it lasts, for once it's gone, it won't return!
After the auctioneer's masterful and persuasive hype, the auction officially began.
This place truly lives up to its reputation as the most prestigious auction in the entire Great Shun Empire. It even uses top-grade spirit stones for transactions.
You have to know that this thing is extremely expensive, a high-grade spirit stone can be exchanged for ten million gold coins, and one hundred high-grade spirit stones are a full ten billion.
"I offer one hundred and ten high-grade spirit stones…"
"One hundred and twenty yuan..."
"One hundred and forty yuan…"
Red sandalwood is indeed a good thing, and everyone immediately raised their signboards.
"I offer two hundred high-grade spirit stones!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, silence fell upon the room.
200 high-grade spirit stones is a full 2 billion gold coins, definitely not a small sum.
Everyone followed the sound and saw that it was Gong Yuming, the eldest son of the Gong family, who was holding the sign.
This guy spends his days carousing and indulging in pleasure. He has completely drained his body with alcohol and women, and is eager to get this piece of red sandalwood to nourish his flesh. Who knows, maybe it will cure his kidney deficiency.
The Gong family, residing within the Imperial City of the Dashun Empire, was undoubtedly a top-tier clan. To say they were incredibly wealthy would be an understatement.
Seeing that Gong Yumings's victory was inevitable, the others one after another put down the number plates in their hands.
And just then, a lazy voice sounded.
“I offer three hundred high-grade spirit stones…”
As the price was called out, all eyes turned to see who had made the bid. To everyone's surprise, it was none other than Master Guan Qirui, the eldest son of the household.
Gong Yuming's brows furrowed immediately. If it were any other time, this friend certainly wouldn't have competed with him for the bid. Today, he couldn't figure out what had gotten into him.
He sighed and prepared to put the jade pendant down.
On the one hand, three hundred pieces of high-grade spirit stones is already a high price, reaching the upper limit of this piece of red sandalwood. Buying it would be a loss.
On the other hand, he still considered the relationship between the two families and didn't want to compete with Guan Qirui for the price.
Ye Bufan, since he challenged, would see it through to the end. How could he just give up so easily He sarcastically said: "Brother Gong, if you ask me, you should just stop filming."
This red sandalwood is red, it doesn't suit you. Wait until there's a green treasure that matches your temperament, best of all a hat.
His words caused an uproar of laughter in the room. Anyone who wasn't foolish could tell that Guan Qi was mocking Gong Jia, the eldest son, for being cheated on.
No man can accept being cheated on, especially when it's exposed publicly. Even if Gong Yuming has a good temper, he couldn't stand this.
"Guan Qiri, you wait for me."
With fury burning in his eyes, Gong Yumings suddenly raised the sign in his hand: "I bid five hundred pieces of high-grade spirit stones!"
He was truly enraged. If he gave up the bidding today, it would be like letting Guan Qirui step on him, admitting to everyone that he had been cheated.
"One thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
Ye Bufan unhesitatingly raised the number plate again.
Guan Yu was beside himself with worry, rubbing his hands anxiously. He knew the family's circumstances all too well; even if they pooled their entire fortune, it probably wouldn't amount to this many high-grade spirit stones.
If this weren't a high-end auction relying on everyone's reputation, if we just checked to see if anyone actually had that much money, my young master would be exposed immediately.
But having been slapped twice already, knowing this young master's bad temper today, he finally kept his mouth shut and honestly squatted aside without saying a word.
"Guan Qi, don't forget your steward just borrowed 50,000 top-grade spirit stones from our family and is now showing off here!"
Gong Yuming was about to be driven mad, originally thinking that the housekeeper had encountered some major difficulty and borrowed five thousand high-grade spirit stones all at once.
I never expected Guan Qi to actually use his own company's money to slap himself in the face here.
"Cut the crap, I'm rich, if you have the guts don't lend it to me!"
Not only would Ye Bufan seek revenge against Guan Qirui, but the housekeeper would also harbor resentment and naturally wouldn't hesitate at all.
"You… ungrateful bastard!"
Gong Yu Ming was furious and raised his number plate again: "I bid two thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Here, he couldn't resort to violence again, so he had to vent his anger in this way.
3,000 top-grade spirit stones.
Ye Bufan raised the number plate in his hand.
"This..."
Gong Yuming hesitated, after all, the price was frighteningly high, converted into gold coins it was hundreds of billions.
Just as he was hesitating whether to continue bidding, Ye Bufan sneered: "What Are you short of kidneys again"
"I'm not losing anything! When I get back, I'll have my father come and collect all the money you owe!"
Gong Yuming was furious and angrily raised the sign in his hand: "I offer four thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Ye Bufan smiled faintly and put down the cards in his hand: "You win."
The crowd gasped in astonishment. Four thousand top-grade spirit stones That piece of red sandalwood wasn't even worth four hundred! It seemed that the young master of the Gong family was truly enraged.
"Guan, you wait for me!"
After repeated provocations, Gong Yuming had completely abandoned any remaining affection and was filled with hatred.
The middle-aged manager remained silent, but a smile played at the corners of his lips.
No matter how much the other party struggles, in the end, only their own storefront benefits.
He even wanted to go over and give Ye Bufan a big hug. Just this piece of red cinnabar wood had brought his auction house dozens of times the profit. He was practically his lucky charm!
The auctioneer was also overjoyed, and after confirming, he hammered his gavel, finally making the piece of red sandalwood belong to Gong Yumeng.
The auction continued, and soon the second item was brought to the front of the stage.
Lift the crimson cloth above and you will find a long sword.
This sword is called Dragon Spring, it is definitely a rare and divine weapon, forged by a master blacksmith.
The starting bid is one hundred high-grade spirit stones, with each increase not less than ten high-grade spirit stones. Now the auction begins...
This sword is indeed quite good, having reached the level of low-grade spiritual energy. As soon as the auction began, everyone started bidding frantically.
"Two hundred high-grade spirit stones…"
"Three hundred top-grade spirit stones…"
"Four hundred high-grade spirit stones…"
As time goes on, prices keep rising and fewer people are holding up signs.
At last, Yuan Qihang raised his bidding sign: "I offer one thousand high-grade spirit stones!"
The moment the words left his mouth, a stunned silence fell over the entire room. That amount of money was already pushing this sword to its absolute limit!
For some reason, everyone put down their number boards and all looked towards the butler's young master at the same time.sion was cold and stern, his eyes gleaming with intelligence. There was no trace of his previous foolish smile.Now everyone was shocked. Changsun Qiulan exclaimed in surprise, "Big brother, you're alr...
