Chapter 248: Bidding with Meng Qingyi
At this moment, a man who looked like a host walked up to the auction table and announced the official start of the auction.
After Lin Yiran and Lan Yangshu sat down in the VIP seat, no one took a seat in the VIP seat anymore.
The first five items, as Lin Yiran expected, none of them could enter his eyes, and Meng Qingyi and Meng Bopeng were not interested in those five items, so Lin Yiran did not bid.
It wasn't until the host took out the sixth auction item that Lin Yiran noticed a hint of excitement hidden in Meng Qingyi's eyes.
Lin Yiran observed the stone taken out by the host, it was orange and yellow, and it was not transparent at all, it looked like an ordinary stone to the naked eye, but it gave Lin Yiran the feeling that it was just like the emerald green stone he bought in Boss Wang's store last time, it seemed to hide an unknown secret.
Looking at Meng Qingyi's excited but unrevealing appearance, Lin Yiran felt that the other party should know the secret of this stone, otherwise he wouldn't be so excited.
Because he found that the other people sitting in the VIP seat did not seem to be interested in this seemingly ordinary stone. If it weren't for his own special feelings, he wouldn't have noticed that there was something unusual about this stone.
At this time, the host took the orange stone and began to introduce: "We didn't want to put this stone up for auction, but the owner of this stone is our old customer, and he hopes that we can try to auction it at the auction to see if we can auction it at a good price." ”
"To be honest, we don't see a reason for this stone, we just know that no matter what method is used, this stone cannot be broken. ”
"The starting price of this orange stone is ten acres of space, and each increase is not less than five acres of space. The auction begins below. ”
As the last sentence of the host fell, the audience fell silent, many people were unwilling to spend ten acres of space to buy a stone of unknown origin, it seemed that only he and Meng Qingyi knew that this stone seemed to be extraordinary.
Lin Yiran knew that Meng Qingyi would definitely make a bid, so he was not in a hurry to bid, he had to wait for the other party to bid before raising the price.
Sure enough, after the audience was silent for a long time, Meng Qingyi began to bid: "Ten acres." ”
When bidding, Meng Qingyi pretended to be careless, pretending that he was not very interested in this stone.
"Fifteen acres. Seeing Meng Qingyi's appearance, Lin Yiran sneered in his heart, and then raised the price, but he couldn't show that he was very interested in this stone.
As soon as Lin Yiran finished bidding, Meng Qingyi glanced at Lin Yiran fiercely.
He knew that Lin Yiran deliberately raised the price, because the previous five things were much better than this stone on the surface, and the other party did not bid, but when he made a bid for this stone that looked ordinary on the surface, the other party also made a bid, and he did not drag his feet.
However, Meng Qingyi knew the usefulness of this stone, so he planned to take this stone down no matter what, and the other party's spiritual realm was not just the late stage of the hanging realm, so he was not afraid that the other party would pay a higher price than himself to take this stone.
Thinking of this, Meng Qingyi snorted coldly and bid loudly: "Twenty acres." ”
Lin Yiran didn't think about it, and shouted directly: "Twenty-five acres." ”
Seeing these two people bidding for each other, the host couldn't help but take the orange stone and look at it again, for fear that he had lost sight before. However, after looking at it for a while, he still didn't find anything unique, so he breathed a sigh of relief and put the stone down.
After all, misestimating the price of the auction item is a very fatal mistake for the auction house, and if it is made this time and then it is passed on to the ears of outsiders, it will definitely damage the reputation of the auction house and cause the auction house to suffer a lot of losses.
Meng Qingyi heard that Lin Yiran was still raising the price, and he had nowhere to vent in his heart, so he could only shout loudly: "Thirty acres." ”
"Thirty-five acres. A middle-aged man in the VIP seat saw that the two were bidding for each other, and felt that this stone might really have something else, so he raised the price loudly without waiting for Lin Yiran to bid again.
"Forty acres!" Meng Qingyi found that someone had raised the price again, so he was angry, blew his beard, and then increased the price again.
Seeing that Meng Qingyi's price increase was so refreshing, Lin Yiran was even more sure that the other party understood the usefulness of this stone, so his heart to take this stone became even firmer.
It's just that he can't increase the price right away, because he knows that as long as he behaves very cheerfully, others will think that this stone is not ordinary, and even if they don't know what the stone is for, they will definitely not let him auction this stone at a low price.
Although Lin Yiran's inner world is very large, he doesn't want to squander it casually, and besides, he doesn't know if there will be any side effects of transferring too much space.
Sure enough, the middle-aged man who had bid before glanced at Lin Yiran, and then hesitated and did not bid again.
Meng Qingyi noticed the middle-aged man's movements, and his heart became proud, he thought that the other party was just blindly coaxing. And since the young man who followed Lan Yangshu was Lan Yangshu's person, it was estimated that the price increase was just to take a breath, so he didn't believe that the other party was willing to raise the price with a large price.
The host saw that no one raised the price again, so he shouted loudly: "Forty acres for the first time, is there any continued price increase?" ”
Seeing that Lin Yiran didn't increase the price again, Meng Qingyi glanced at Lin Yiran proudly, thinking that the hairy boy was just like that.
The middle-aged man glanced at Lin Yiran again, and found that Lin Yiran looked calm and relaxed, so he did not continue to increase the price.
And the host also continued to shout: "Forty acres for the second time, is there any continued price increase?"
"Forty-five acres. ”
A moment later, just as the host wanted to knock down the hammer in his hand, he heard someone continue to increase the price, he looked in the direction where the voice came from, and found that it was the young man who increased the price.
When the host was puzzled, he suddenly found that the young master of the Lan family was sitting next to the young man, he remembered that the relationship between the Lan family and the Meng family was not very good, and he figured out that the young man was actually listening to Lan Yangshu's order and deliberately raising the price for Meng Qingyi, so he couldn't help but smile.
The middle-aged man who had bid before saw the host's smile, glanced at Lin Yiran again, and found that Lan Yangshu was sitting next to him, and understood the reason for the host's smile, and knew that Lin Yiran was just fighting with Meng Qingyi, so he didn't increase the price anymore.
And Meng Qingyi was so angry that his face turned green, but he couldn't just give up.
