Chapter 196: A Priceless Key
It is a lot that does not have a specific value, or rather, such a lot, for many people, it is unseen and unheard of, and many people can't understand why such a lot will appear at the end of this auction in the form of a finale. οΌwWWοΌ
It was precisely because I couldn't understand that the appearance of the last lot soon set off a frenzy of whispering discussions at the auction site.
Everyone was whispering about what it was, what Tang Yitian's intentions were, and Jiang Feng also had such doubts, but he didn't pay much attention to the noisy discussions, but looked at the lot in the glass box on the stage.
Judging from the shape of the lot, it looks like a key. Whether it was the key or not, Jiang Feng couldn't be sure for a while, because with his eyesight, he could clearly see that the material of this lot was very peculiar, not gold, not wood, not stone or jade, except for the light purple light emitted from the whole body, there was nothing strange at all.
Of course, although Jiang Feng focused most of his attention on the final lot, he did not forget to pay attention to Yu Xiqiao and Cen Qin's movements.
As Jiang Feng expected, when this lot appeared, Yu Xiqiao's facial expression almost couldn't help but become excited, and even his face became a little red because of excitement.
"It seems that what they are going to auction at tonight's auction is this key, but I don't know what magic this key has that will make Yu Xiqiao attach so much importance to it. Jiang Feng said in his heart.
Although he couldn't figure it out, since it was Yu Xiqiao's favor, Jiang Feng decided that he would try his best to hold it in his hand no matter what.
"Jiang Feng, what is that?" Sister Hua asked with a curious expression.
Jiang Feng shook his head lightly: "I don't know, maybe Tang Yitian will introduce it later." β
Sister Hua muttered: "I just think it's strange, could it be that the value of this thing will be higher than that of Yuan Qinghua? Maybe it's not good, but it may not be Tang Yitian who used it to get people to make money. β
Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Anyway, it must not be you who is blinded, so why should you care about these little things." β
Sister Hua giggled, "I'm afraid that the last person to be deceived is you, you said that if you were deceived, how distressed should I be?"
Sister Hua was very delicate, and the words she said were ambiguous and delicate, Jiang Feng didn't react, but Cen Qin muttered softly-dog man and woman.
Tang Yitian waited for the sound of discussion on the scene to subside for a while, and then began to explain some things about this key, but to Jiang Feng's regret, Tang Yitian didn't say much, it seemed that he had nothing to say, just briefly introduced the auction process, and finally set the starting price of this key at 100,000, as for the price increase, there is no threshold or upper limit, free to play.
Compared with the finale of this lot, Tang Yitian's dispensable introduction once again made everyone on the scene dissatisfied.
"Mr. Tang, the starting price of 100,000 yuan is not high, but it is not much, it is money after all, you have to at least introduce the origin of this thing, our money is not all blown by the wind. "Some people questioned it.
Tang Yitian smiled: "To be honest, I really can't tell you too much, anyway, in a word, this lot, those who are destined to get it, if anyone can't believe in my Tang Yitian's reputation, there is no need to bid." β
Someone else said: "Mr. Tang, it's not that we can't trust your credibility, but if you don't introduce the origin of this thing, forget it, don't you want to say a word about the purpose or something." β
Tang Yitian hesitated for a moment and said: "I can only say one thing, this is a key, as for what is the key used to do, I am sorry I have no comment, everyone will start bidding now." β
Tang Yitian's ambiguous words made many people confused in their hearts, but someone quickly called out the price.
"Ten million. β
The price was asked by a gray-haired old man, and the old man was sitting in the front row, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Jiang Feng only thought that Yu Xiqiao might be bound to win this lot, but he didn't expect that the first person to shout the price was not Yu Xiqiao but someone else.
He followed the sound, because he was sitting in the back row, he couldn't see too clearly, but from the accent, the old man should have come from Hong Kong.
The old man directly shouted the price from 100,000 to 10 million, which made some people who originally wanted to bid and play silent, and there was a short silence at the scene.
Then I heard another voice say, "I'll give fifteen million." β
The person who spoke was the same Mr. Liu who had met Sister Hua before, and Mr. Liu's voice was not high, but it was very low, as if he also wanted to win this lot in one bite.
The two people before and after the price were bargaining, but Yu Xiqiao never said anything, which made Jiang Feng more and more confused.
"Thirty million. The white-haired old man who was the first to speak spoke again.
"Thirty-five million. Mr. Liu pressed on him without giving an inch, and still raised the price by 5 million.
"Sixty million. The white-haired old man said loudly, followed by a rapid cough and wheezing.
"Sixty-five million. Without much hesitation, Mr. Liu made his own voice.
"100 million!" the old man's coughing voice became louder and louder, and the sound of the price was drowned out, but everyone still heard it clearly.
The world-famous Yuan Qinghua only sold for more than 60 million yuan, a key that I don't know the origin and purpose, but after a few rounds of bidding, it exploded at a sky-high price of 100 million, and countless people were dumbfounded.
Because all of them think that spending hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a key to play may also be regarded as a pastime for people who are stupid and have a lot of money.
But a key with a starting price of only 100,000 yuan was shouted to a price of 100 million in an instant without warning, which was greatly beyond the limit that everyone could bear, and everyone was staring at the old man in the front row.
It's just that the old man can't see any difference except that he is a little older and doesn't seem to be in good health.
It seemed that it was also an accident that the white-haired old man would shout out the price of 100 million, Mr. Liu's face changed slightly, and he glanced in the direction of the old man in surprise, and then looked at a young man sitting next to him, and the two whispered a few words, Mr. Liu's face became embarrassed, and after all, he gritted his teeth and said, "150 million." β
"Two hundred million. β
As soon as Mr. Liu's words were spoken, everyone almost couldn't hear the specific figure reported by Mr. Liu, and they were shocked by another number.
This time, it was not the white-haired old man who was bidding, but Cen Qin, who had not moved since the auction, and it was not Yu Xiqiao who spoke, but Cen Qin. Of course, in Jiang Feng's opinion, Cen Qin was the spokesperson of Yu Xiqiao, and what she said was what Yu Xiqiao wanted to say, no different.
If the white-haired old man shouted a high price of 100 million, which was already making everyone make a fuss, then Cen Qin's shouting of 200 million made everyone's eyes fall to the ground.
Who the white-haired old man is, few people know, but Cen Qin has always been in the circle of Yanjing, and there are too many people who are familiar with her.
It was because it was familiar, so it was even more shocking.
Such a shock is not that Cen Qin can't get 200 million, but Cen Qin's business is not next to the antiques at all, and her 200 million yuan can be described as inexplicable.
Jiang Feng was waiting for Yu Xiqiao and Cen Qin to speak, and at this time, the two of them couldn't hold it back after all, and their hearts couldn't help but move slightly, but the roots of their ears were slightly itchy.
"Jiang Feng, I just said that Cen Qin is a little strange, and you are still pretending to be crazy and stupid in front of me. Now you see, she's in her own form. Sister Hua's soft red lips touched Jiang Feng's earlobe, and said in a way that only two people could hear.
Jiang Feng's ears were itchy, and his heart also became itchy, so he turned his head sideways quietly, and said, "Maybe people have a purpose, but it may not be." β
"What purpose?" Jiang Feng dodged away, and Sister Hua leaned over again, with a playful smile on her delicate face, as if she wanted to try where Jiang Feng could hide.
"I don't know. Jiang Feng said helplessly.
"You don't know, so what do you know if you tell me? Don't tell me, you're here to join in the fun, anyway, no matter what you say, I won't believe a word. Sister Hua said with a smile.
"Maybe I'm here to join in the fun. Jiang Feng was even more helpless, this helplessness was not because of Sister Hua's teasing, but because he was helpless because he had little money and was short of breath.
If the final transaction price of the key is only a few million, he can still find a way to raise it, and it suddenly becomes 200 million, and the next competition has obviously not stopped, and it is almost unimaginable what number will be auctioned in the end.
At this point, money has become a meaningless number, and Cheng DΓΉ, who has money, has also become a symbol, even if he wants to meddle in it, he has more than enough heart but not enough strength.
"You also said maybe, look, sure enough, you didn't tell the truth, hmph, see how long you can pretend. Sister Hua snorted and let Jiang Feng go for the time being.
Soon, the white-haired old man said again: "Two hundred and ten million." β
"Three hundred million. Cen Qin said without any hesitation.
"300 million...... 300 million ......" The white-haired old man's cough became louder, as if he was going to continue to bid down, but he couldn't make a sound, and all that was left was coughing one after another.
The coughing sound was the only sound at the auction site after Cen Qin shouted a high price of 300 million, which was harsh and ugly, but it tickled everyone's nerves.
Including Tang Yitian, everyone knew that the show was not over yet, and after a while, they heard the old man say tremblingly: "Four hundred million!"
