Chapter 122: Beating Up the Rich Young Master 2
The auction continued, and one by one the items were bought by others, but at this time, Chu Zifeng had not made a bid, which caused You Ran and her three sisters to pout.
"Big brother, didn't you promise us? Why don't you even haggle over the price of something we've set our sights on?"
Chu Zi Feng smiled slightly. It wasn't that he didn't want to name a price, but rather he was waiting for the right moment, waiting for a moment when there would be conflict with that golden treasure.
After listening to Murong Zhenzhu and the others' account just now, Chu Zifeng made a decision. Today, he must make that Xiang Jinbao lose his arms and legs. It's not that he has any grudge against him, nor does Chu Zifeng even know him. But who asked the Xiang family to be so ungrateful and become enemies with their own mother? Then they will have to pay the price.
However, Chu Zifeng had already learned from Murong Pearl and others that the Xie family's power was not small either. Small families didn't dare to be enemies with their own mothers, so they couldn't take the initiative to find trouble. They had to let Xie Jinbao come to them first. As long as there was a conflict between the two sides, Chu Zifeng would seize the opportunity to escalate it and not allow the Xie family to grasp his handle, and then severely punish Xie Jinbao.
"Little ones, don't be in a hurry, actually there is a gift on the scene that is much better than those bought with money."
"What is it, Big Brother?" asked Guo Xiangxiang.
"Aren't you all displeased with Xiang Jinbao? Today Eldest Brother will help you vent your anger, how about that?"
As soon as Chu Zi Feng said this, Mu Rong Zhen Zhu immediately knew what he wanted to do and said: "Zi Feng younger brother, you mustn't act rashly now is the most sensitive period. If things are blown up, it will add trouble for your mother, and the Ye family won't let it go either."
"Haha, don't worry, I'm not stupid enough to rush over and mess with him. But if he rushes over to deal with me, then I won't be a gentleman and just talk without taking action!"
"Young Master Yu said: 'Big Brother, what are you going to do? You speak, we'll all listen.'"
"Alright then. Little baby, can your phone take videos?"
"Of course, the pixels are still very high."
"Then you find a place to hide first, and when things unfold, you will record the whole process."
"Okay, no problem."
You Ran hurriedly ran to a corner on one side, where basically no one would notice.
"Big brother, what should we do?" asked Deng Yi.
"Haha, just wait a moment, and then follow what I said."
"Alright."
Murong Zhenzhu could only shake her head bitterly and didn't say much!
At this moment, the man hosting the auction on the stage in front has taken out a white box. However, what's inside the box isn't some kind of valuable treasure, but rather a few sheets of white paper. Looking at those papers, they might not even be worth as much as the box itself.
"Ladies and gentlemen, don't underestimate these few pieces of paper. They are from the Qing Dynasty period and are the best for writing calligraphy. The starting price is 1,000 RMB."
Even the best paper, if it's from a bygone era and doesn't have the handwriting of a famous person on it, is no different from waste paper. This auction house has even brought out this kind of thing - they're really crazy for money!
Chu Zi Feng didn't think that Xiang Jin Bao would be interested in these few pieces of paper, so he continued to wait.
In the front, Ma Dingxian, who was with Xiang Jinbao, said: "Xiang Shao, I heard that Old Master Xiang likes to practice calligraphy every day. If you buy these few sheets of paper from the Qing Dynasty back home, I'm sure he'll be very happy."
This golden treasure is just like its name, fat-headed and big-eared, long but ugly, the kind that makes people vomit at first sight.
"Actually, my grandfather hasn't been writing calligraphy much in recent years, but since they have Qing dynasty paper here, I'll buy it along with that last 'Angel's Tear'."
What Xiang Jinbao said is enough to prove that his ultimate goal for coming here today is the last auction item. Since there are books and papers from the Qing dynasty, and the price isn't high, buying them back to please the old master wouldn't be bad either.
Xiang Jinbao raised the bidding paddle in his hand and said, "Two thousand."
Just like at the beginning, no one competed with Xiang Jinbao for it, only Xiang Jinbao didn't say anything explicitly. The people here probably all knew Xiang Jinbao's identity and didn't dare to compete with him.
The man hosting the auction was sweating, originally thinking that these few pieces of paper could be sold for at least 10,000, after all, there were several masters of calligraphy and painting present, but unexpectedly, this young master Xiang would take an interest in the paper!
The man hosting the auction reluctantly raised the wooden hammer in his hand, not believing that anyone present would dare to compete with Xiang Jinbao. Today, even if he was unlucky, he should have started the price a bit higher.
"Good, now Lord Gongzi has bid 2,000, is there anyone who can bid higher than 2,000?"
Chu Zi Feng had thought he would have to wait another hour or so before encountering such a situation, but didn't expect Xiang Jin Bao, that fat-headed and big-eared guy, to buy several sheets of paper, which just happened to give Chu Zi Feng an opportunity.
"Two thousand first time, two thousand second time, two thousand third..."
"I'll put up 10,000."
"What's going on here? Everyone in the room turned their heads, what's this kid's background? He actually dares to compete with Xiang Jinbao, is he tired of living? Xiang Jinbao is a notorious little tyrant in the capital!"
The man hosting the auction was also completely unexpected that someone would offer a price higher than Xiang Jinbao's, which was also his own expected price. Since someone had now called out a high price, he couldn't possibly not respond with a nod, anyway if something went wrong, Xiang Jinbao would naturally find the person who did it and wouldn't take it out on him.
"Alright, the gentleman in the back just bid 10,000. Is there anyone who can bid higher than 10,000?"
Ma Dingxian turned his head and said: "Xiang Shao, that kid really doesn't know what's good for him. I'll go teach him a lesson."
"It's nothing, ten thousand is just a small amount of money, just suppress it and that's all."
" Fifteen thousand."
"Fifty thousand."
Everyone present was stunned, no way, it's just a few scraps of paper, you're out 500,000, are you kidding me?
Xiang Jinbao still didn't care and said: "Then it's 600,000."
"One hundred thousand."
The men hosting the auction didn't dare speak anymore. Today they really met a big spender, but this money may not necessarily be earned by the auction house itself.
Everyone knows that Xiang Jinbao values face more than money, in such a situation where everyone knows his identity, how can he lose face.
"One hundred and fifty thousand." Xiang Jinbao shouted.
Chu Zi Feng's face remained calm as he shouted back: "Three million."
Alright, a few scraps of waste paper are worth 300,000 yuan, what is this, which rich young master is causing trouble here!
"Big brother, I think it's better not to argue with him anymore. Is it worth it for a few scraps of paper?" Guo Xiangxiang felt a pang in her heart seeing Chu Zifeng raise the price of the scraps so high.
Ke Chu Zi just smiled and didn't say anything.
"Four hundred thousand." Xiang Jinbao shouted.
"One million."
"Fine, that kid is asking for it."
"Old horse, sit down for me now, it's time to save face, don't mess with me."
"Items are few, but this price is also too high."
"Mind your own business."
Chu Zi Feng said to Guo Xiang Xiang and Deng Yi, "Two good sisters, now it's your turn."
"What should we do, Big Brother?"
"Before that little brat notices we're together, you two go sit next to him and curse him out, but pretend like you don't know me."
"Haha, I understand, it's to provoke him, no problem."
Guo Xiangxiang and Deng Yi immediately did what Chu Zifeng said.
"One hundred and thirty million."
"Two million."
"The items are few in number, can't bargain anymore, or else will suffer a big loss!"
"TMD, what's with that kid? Come on, let's go meet him."
"Hey, isn't this Young Master Yi? I said this voice sounds familiar, it turns out it's you, Young Master, here."
Guo Xiangxiang and Deng Yi directly slapped the two men beside Xiang Jinbao, and the two men immediately sat down.
"What's wrong, Lord Xiang? Aren't you going to bid anymore? Those few pieces of paper are exactly what my dad needs. If you don't have enough money, my sisters and I won't be polite." Deng Yi said with a smile.
"Guo Xiangxiang, why have you all run over here?"
"What's this? This isn't your family's place, is it? If you, Young Master Ye, can come, why can't we sisters come too? Don't waste words, those without money should scram and not block our view."
"Who says I don't have money? I'll take out 2.5 million."
When he quoted this price, Xiang Jinbao's heart was bleeding. Two million five hundred thousand for a few pieces of scrap paper? If the old man at home found out, wouldn't he be finished? But at this moment, in front of these two girls from the Zhao family, Xiang Dage couldn't lose face.
"Five million." Chu Zifeng called out the price again, and this time it was even higher. The whole room was guessing about Chu Zifeng's identity. He must be a super-rich young master from outside, otherwise he wouldn't dare to call out such a high price for just a few pieces of scrap paper, especially since he didn't seem to know Xiang Jinbao.
"Xiang Gongzi, what's wrong? Have you run out of money? If you really like those few pieces of paper, my sister and I will make an exception today and lend you some money."
"I, I have money, who needs to borrow from the Zhao family... I, I'll give 6 million."
Xiang Jinbao had just called out the price when Ma Dingxian whispered beside him, "Xiang Shao, since that kid wants to play, why don't we raise the price a bit and play him to death? After all, this face is worth more than tens of millions, money is still more important."
Xiang Jinbao slightly nodded, thinking to himself: "You want to play, huh? Today I'll play you all to death. When the price reached 10 million, he thought: "Today I don't care about saving face either, let's give it to them."
Of course, everyone present was waiting to see the show. In their opinion, since that unfamiliar little guy had raised the price so high, he must be going to call again!
Three seconds passed, five seconds passed, ten seconds passed, but the Chu Zi Feng behind him didn't say a word, still standing there very leisurely, as if nothing had happened.
The man hosting the auction on stage wiped away a bead of sweat and looked at Xiang Jinbao again, fearfully saying: "Uh, six hundred million for the first time, six hundred million for the second time, six hundred million for the third..."
"Wait a minute."
Xiang Jinbao couldn't help it anymore, he suddenly stood up and pointed at Chu Zifeng behind him, angrily shouting: "Damn it, what do you mean, you little brat?"
The young master, Chu Zi Feng, laughed and said: "Sir, I'm sorry to say that I don't have any money. This is my first time coming to a place like this, so I just wanted to have some fun. But you're quoting such a high price, even if I worked for ten lifetimes, I wouldn't be able to afford it! If you keep asking for that price, I'll definitely die!"
Xiang Jinbao is so annoying, this guy, got played by that kid today!
With a helpless glance at Guo Xiangxiang and the other, Item Golden Treasure smiled and said: "I say, two young ladies, aren't you in need of those few pieces of paper? Why don't I give them to you?"
"You're kidding, 6 million, who would want that?" said Deng Yi.
"But you just..."
"Oh, we were just joking earlier," said Guo Xiangxiang.
"You, you..."
"Master Xiang, you can't be really broke, can you? If you really are, you can just leave, I'm sure no one here would dare to stop you! However, my sisters and I were born with kind hearts, so we have to warn you: if you don't pay up and try to sneak away, tomorrow's headlines will probably be about tonight's events!"
Xiang Jinbao was helpless, and he sat down with a thud. He waved his hand in pain at the man on the stage, who said, "Mr. Xiang has bought three pieces of Qing Dynasty paper for 6 million yuan. Congratulations, congratulations! These are indeed antiques."
"You're the antique, your whole family are antiques!"
"Congratulations, congratulations to Item B, 6 million bought three pieces of scrap paper. What can this paper do? Use it for toilet paper or fold it into a plane to play with? Haha..."
"Xiang Xiang, don't mock Item Master anymore. I heard that the final auction item today is the legendary 'Tears of Angel', which was worn by a 15th-century British queen. We must get it today."
"That's right, isn't this exactly why we came here today?"
Xiang Jinbao was heartbroken, but he had also come here for the "Angel's Tear" necklace, so he couldn't leave now and even more couldn't lose his temper.
