Chapter 40: Let the hype go up and down
An ancient sword was actually raised to a price of 300 million, this is not the sword of a certain emperor of the Ming Dynasty, maybe it is just a little soldier!
The auction hall was silent for a moment, and there was no more noise, and they were already numb to the point of shock. lā
The vast majority of those who came here tonight are martial artists, and in terms of assets, it is naturally impossible to compare with those super entrepreneurs, so in the face of the price of 300 million, no one continues to bid.
Even the two martial arts halls of the Gao clan and the Ouyang clan have died down, and the ideas of these two hall owners are actually similar to Li Haomin, but they are more rational and are still hesitating.
At this moment, Li Haomin felt quite a feeling of sitting firmly in the Diaoyutai platform, and hummed to himself: "This old thing, do you really think that you can hide from the sky and the sea, you are still so upright, if you don't raise the price to 20 million at the beginning, I won't notice it." ”
Just as the auctioneer was about to make a final decision, Fang Zhongtian asked, "Master, do you want to continue?"
Gu Fan waved his hand and said, "No need, give him this sword, now he has spit out 300 million, and the follow-up competition is absolutely weak." ”
Fang Zhongtian's heart suddenly chuckled, he seemed to have guessed Gu Fan's intentions, could it be that he was deliberately inflating the price and making Li Haomin bleed profusely, so as to reduce a strong competitor?
"Master, wonderful!" Fang Zhongtian couldn't help but sigh.
Gu Fan smiled and didn't say anything, this good show has just begun.
Soon, after three inquiries, the auctioneer finally knocked down the hammer and said, "Congratulations to Pavilion Master Li in VIP Room No. 2, for successfully auctioning this sick ancient sword at a price of 300 million, congratulations to him!"
A strong smile appeared on Li Haomin's face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes bloomed like a sentence, he was thinking, Fang Zhongtian had done so many tricks, just to fight for this sword, so could he dissect the sword body and get the secret?
However, it was only a few minutes, and Li Haomin's smile suddenly froze on the spot.
When the auctioneer finished introducing the next item, Fang Zhongtian rang the bell again under Gu Fan's signal.
It is an ancient painting, painting the landscape, which can be called the pen walking dragon and snake, the ghostly axe, there seems to be a close connection between the peaks and mountains, the majestic atmosphere, and the water below, but it gives people a sense of tranquility and far-reaching.
The starting price of this painting is 5 million, and Fang Zhongtian once again shouted 50 million in frenzy!
In an instant, all the bidders fell into deep thought, what the hell is this old man Fang doing? He just spent a lot of effort to fight for the sword, and now he is coming to raise the price of the ancient painting, this routine is completely incomprehensible.
Li Haomin even stretched out his palm, slammed the table in front of him into pieces, and the whole person was like crazy, and roared angrily: "You old thing, dare to calculate me!"
frightened the entourage next to him to silence.
How can Li Haomin not be angry? The sword just now has already cost him 300 million, which is a lot of money, and he thought that there was a secret in the sword, plus the ability to qi Fang Zhongtian, it was the best of both worlds, who knew that it was calculated!
In fact, you can't blame Li Haomin for being too stupid and impulsive, after all, he is also a fifty-year-old pavilion owner, the key reason is that Fang Zhongtian is upright, he has always been the same, after so many years of negotiations, he has never seen him play any scheming tricks, so Li Haomin saw that Fang Zhongtian was crazy and wanted the sword, and he felt convinced.
Based on his understanding of a person, Li Haomin made this decision, where would he know that all this was operated by Gu Fan in secret, to put it bluntly, Gu Fan's ignorance is only for women, as for other aspects, under the training of the master's old fritters, it is naturally not far behind.
In the uncertain situation, others did not rush to bid, but pondered Fang Zhongtian's psychology one after another.
There is no doubt that this auction, through the malicious hype of the organizer, pushed Fang Zhongtian to the forefront, it seems that everything is based on Fang Zhongtian, and everyone has formed a consciousness: as long as Old Man Fang values it, it must be a baby!
I have to say that the crazy momentum of the organizers is as fierce as a tiger.
As time passed, the one-minute time given by the auctioneer quickly ended, and there was still no one bidding.
Gu Fan's brows furrowed slightly, in his overall plan, this second step is the most important, it can play the role of connecting the past and the future, if no one bids, it will not achieve the expected effect.
Yes, Gu Fan said: "Elder Fang, you ring the bell and ask the auctioneer to put the hammer quickly, and his tone is a little hurried." ”
Fang Zhongtian suddenly understood, quickly rang the bell, and said: "Hurry up and put the hammer, my granddaughter usually likes to study calligraphy and painting, this gift is a birthday gift I am going to give her, since there is no one to bid, hurry up, don't grind." ”
This......
It's okay if Fang Zhongtian doesn't say anything, everyone is already planning to give up, and now that he said this, he specially moved his granddaughter out, isn't it a bit of a feeling that there are no silver three hundred taels here?
Made, this old man is not as upright as rumored, there must be a deception!
At this time, someone immediately began to bid, and in a few minutes, the price broke 100 million again.
"Master, what now?" Fang Zhongtian asked in a low voice.
Gu Fan smiled: "Just like just now, lead a big snake out, and then stop it immediately." ”
Fang Zhongtian didn't dare to hesitate, and rang the bell on the spot and hummed: "You guys have to grab even a painting? My granddaughter's birthday is very important, I am bound to get this thing, 1.5 billion!"
Rub, just for your granddaughter's birthday?
At this moment, Gao Fei of the Gao Clan Martial Arts Hall was also hesitating, and the son beside him suddenly said: "Father, I always feel that this painting is not simple, I look at it with a feeling of being in a good mood, as if I have a deeper insight into martial arts, this time it may really be a treasure." ”
When Gao Fei heard this, he was shocked and said: "When you say this, I also feel this way, there are some mythical objects in the legend that can make people understand the truth of martial arts, could it be that this painting is such an item?"
"It's very likely, father, think about it, just now Old Man Fang deliberately raised the price and pitted Li Haomin, and now he can't help but say what gift he bought for his granddaughter, is there something strange?"
Yes!
Gao Fei was greatly encouraged, rang the bell fiercely, and shouted: "Two hundred million!"
The people in the auction hall are helpless again, they are often smashing hundreds of millions of dollars, how can they play, is it the special session of the four martial arts halls today? It is really helpless.
Another fish was hooked, Gu Fan grinned and showed a harmless smile of humans and animals, and said, "If you shout another 210 million, you can stop it." ”
When Fang Zhongtian heard this, he directly shouted out 210 million, while Gao Fei was not far behind and shouted 220 million.
Everyone probably understood that the limit that Fang Zhongtian could bear must be within 300 million.
Sure enough, I only heard Fang Zhongtian snort: "Gao Fei, you are an old immortal, you even have to fight with me for birthday gifts?"
"The one with the highest price will have it, and if you don't have the money, you should still concede?" Gao Feizhi said proudly.
"Get out. ”
Fang Zhongtian shouted angrily, and then stopped talking, there is no doubt that this ancient painting was finally obtained by Gao Fei.
When Gao Fei's father and son were ecstatic, thinking that they had found a treasure, Gu Fan couldn't hold back his laughter, and said in his heart that it was almost over.
Subsequently, another item was pushed out, Gu Fan said: "As the saying goes, there are only three things, if you raise the price again this time, no one will rob you, take a low price, and then let's go." ”
Fang Zhongtian thought that he had guessed Gu Fan's thoughts, but at this moment he was confused again, what the hell is this master doing, just shoot something, and then leave, don't you want that sheepskin?
But he didn't dare to ask more, and immediately repeated the old trick, shouting the reserve price of three million things, to five million, as Gu Fan expected, there was really no one to bid anymore, everyone said that this old man was sick, where did he come from so many treasures, and he still wanted to pit people?
After a while, after taking pictures of the items, Fang Zhongtian rang the bell and said depressedly: "Gao Fei, the old man remembers you, you wait for the martial arts competition later!"
Then Fang Zhongtian took Gu Fan out of the VIP room and strode away from the exit of the auction hall, this scene made everyone's hearts reassured, it turned out that the real treasure was the ancient painting, which was taken away by Gao Fei.
Li Haomin's heart was dripping blood, he didn't expect that he would be used as a gun, and the ultimate beneficiary was Gao Fei?
Exercise!
With Fang Zhongtian's departure, the auction depreciated in an instant, along with the others, and in an instant, there were only a few hundred people left, as for the sheepskin that was hyped into a treasure, no one remembered it anymore, only knew that the real treasure was obtained by Gao Fei.
Leaving the auction house, Gu Fan immediately said: "While there is some chaos in and out now, you immediately send a subordinate to go in again, now it is estimated that no one is interested in sheepskin, even if there is, the other martial arts halls have already left, and no one has ever competed for you." ”
This!
At this moment, Fang Zhongtian finally understood what Gu Fan was planning, Gu Fan was not to make someone vomit blood and lose competitiveness, but to divert the focus!
The first time the price of the sword was raised, people had the illusion that the sheepskin was just a disguise.
The second time the price of ancient paintings was raised, making people feel that Li Haomin was the object of the pit, and the real purpose was ancient paintings.
The third bid and departure gave everyone a definitive idea, Fang Zhongtian really only needed ancient paintings, but now he didn't get it, he left angrily, he failed, he was unhappy!
The three steps are interlocking, turning the sheepskin, which was originally hyped as a priceless treasure by the organizers, into waste again, to the point that no one cares about it at all.
Fang Zhongtian was stunned in place for a long time and couldn't calm down, when he looked at Gu Fan again, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, why did this seemingly harmless master of humans and animals have such a meticulous mind, it was really terrifying.
Half an hour later.
Fang Zhongtian's subordinates successfully took the sheepskin at a price of 500,000, and Gu Fan, who was sitting in the car, took the remnant picture, with a sunny smile on the corner of his mouth.
Fang Zhongtian still hadn't come to his senses, and said with more and more reverence: "Master, what is this sheepskin, why are you so interested? Is there really a big secret here......
