Chapter 111: Determined to Succeed

"20 million! Mr. 156 has bid 20 million, which is the highest price tonight, and this is also an offer that can reflect the value of this ancient painting. 20 million, is there anyone bidding higher?" The auctioneer on the stage was also very excited at this time, the higher the price of the auction item, the more commission he would get.

Nangong Chu's 20 million bid scared off the vast majority of buyers, and a $2 million increase in one breath was a very crazy move in the eyes of those veteran collectors, and the price of the painting seemed to have exceeded its value.

But for Nangong Chu, who knows the true value of this painting, this move is actually extremely wise, although if other buyers are allowed to gradually increase their offers, they will not necessarily break through the 20 million mark.

Nangong Chu wanted to show all the buyers who participated in the auction that he was determined to win this painting, and money was not a problem.

As a result, many hesitant buyers will opt out of the auction, and there will be fewer competitors.

"20.3 million!"

"20.6 million!"

"20.9 million!" After Nangong Chu shouted out the auction price of 20 million, only the other three buyers persevered, and one of them turned out to be a blonde and blue-eyed foreign man.

"Mr. 009 is now bidding 20.9 million, which is another price that has set a new record today, is there anyone else bidding?"

"21.9 million!" Nangong Chu's firm voice sounded again, the auction scene was completely quiet, and he once again increased his $1 million, which directly led to the fact that two of the last three competitors chose to withdraw from this competition, and the only one who was still insisting was an old man with gray hair.

"22.2 million!" the old man raised the price again.

"23 million!" However, as soon as the other party's words fell, the number plate in Nangong Chu's hand was immediately raised again, and many buyers on the scene were completely speechless.

The price tag of $23 million is far more than the value of the galloping horse as an ancient work of art.

"23 million! That's a pretty staggering price, and it seems that Mr. 156 is determined to get this painting. The current price is 23 million, who else will bid, and who else will bid......" The auctioneer's voice trembled a little.

"Who is that person?" While the auctioneer was inciting the bidders' emotions again, Nangong Chu asked Yan Beifei who was sitting beside him in a low voice.

"I don't know, it seems that there is no such number one person in Donghai City. In fact, Yan Beifei had already paid attention to the old man, but he saw that the old man was mediocre in appearance, and there was nothing outstanding about it.

"23 million, is there a higher bid......" At this time, the old man also glanced at the position where Nangong Chu was sitting, and Nangong Chu naturally returned him with a faint smile.

"This is the last chance, 23 million for the first time! 23 million for the second ......!"

"25 million!" The old man didn't raise his card for a long time, but at the last moment, he still raised his card to offer. The old man's offer immediately attracted the attention of the bidders present.

25 million US dollars, dizzy, an ancient painting that has not been paid, I don't know who made it, someone quoted a sky-high price of 25 million, it is really unbelievable.

"25 million, the most exciting moment tonight may be now, who else is bidding ......!" said the excited voice of the auctioneer from the loudspeaker at the scene.

Nangong Chu and Yan Beifei glanced at each other, could it be that this old man was hidden deeply, and he was actually a figure with a peak of cultivation?

"30 million!" Nangong Chu raised his card again to offer, the reason why he participated in this auction was because of this galloping horse map. When the money is gone, you can make it again, but once you miss the opportunity to paint, you will never have it again.

"30 million for the first time...... 30 million for the second ......" The old man looked gloomy and did not raise his cards again.

"30 million for the third time, sold! This "Horse Treading Smoke Cloud Map" finally belongs to Mr. No. 156. The auctioneer made the final decision and ended the fierce battle.

"Cut, just now I said that others have money and no place to spend it, I think you are the real nouveau riche, spend 30 million to buy a broken painting!" Seeing the smug and satisfied look on Nangong Chu's face, Miss Dongfang was angry.

"Hehe! I don't know who boasted about his good vision before and had a soft spot for this 'broken painting'?" Nangong Chu said with a smile.

"Hmph! I still laughed after suffering a big loss, this painting is not worth 30 million at all. Dongfang Zhiqing said disdainfully.

"How many people in the world can understand the value of this painting, even if someone is willing to pay a hundred or a thousand times the price in the future, don't even think of getting it from me. Nangong Chu glanced at the Dongfang brothers and sisters meaningfully.

"I'm here tonight for this painting, anyway, thank you Miss Oriental for spending this unforgettable night with me. "Now that he got what he wanted, there is no need for Nangong Chu to stay here anymore.

And if the painting is not handed over to him for a moment, he will not be completely relieved. Who knows if someone will snatch this painting?

"Hey, you're just leaving, I don't know your name yet. Dongfang Zhiqing only remembered at this time, she had been fighting with others for a long time, and she still didn't know the other party's name.

"I don't miss Miss Dongfang anymore, we will still meet if we are fated. After leaving a bright smile, Nangong Chu left the venue with Yan Beifei and Ye Feng.

When that Dongfang Dashao saw Ye Feng who was following closely behind Nangong Chu, he couldn't help but change his expression slightly, ancient martial artist?

"Hmph, who knows your stinky name, I don't want to see you again in my life. "Dongfang Zhiqing has always been a collection of thousands of pets at home since she was a child, and she has never been so despised.

The auction was still ongoing, and Nangong Chu paid all the fees directly to the auction company as soon as he left the venue, and successfully obtained the ownership certificate of "Horse Treading Smoke and Clouds", and this ancient painting finally fell into his hands and was personally brought back to the Yuanhu community on the outskirts of the East China Sea.
