Chapter 171: Nothing Compares to [Two in One]

Recently, I have been so lucky, I actually found three water belts one after another, of course, this is not entirely just an element of good luck, but more by his talisman ability.

The first water belt is still under the bed by Wu Donghong, if there is no [Fire Separation Talisman], who cares about something like a broken steel pipe under the bed? Do you say Wu Donghong's luck is not good? They all took this priceless treasure under the bed.

And the second water hose was welded to the dining table as a beam like crazy, and how many people had eaten on it when the dining table was placed in the dining room? Do you say that those who have eaten on it are unlucky?

And even if it is this one, it is also placed in front of more than 200 people as a real antique, and it must have passed through the hands of many people before this, but listen to the reaction of everyone in the venue after the auctioneer's words just now, it was an uproar that felt cheated by the auction house, aren't these people unlucky?

Maybe there are too many people who have inadvertently passed by a precious treasure, although there is an element of luck, but the key is to see.

"This third water belt must be won, the starting price of 10,000 yuan? Even if it's broken, it's really ......" After thinking quickly, Zhou Mingluo made up his mind in an instant.

This thing must be taken!

However, in his thoughts, he still glanced left and right slightly, and a worry also rose in his heart, the news of the Dingshui Belt has spread to the Central Cooperation Province, and Song Lao has heard this rumor before, which means that some people sitting in the auction house at the moment may have also heard the rumor, and those who heard the rumor, will they suspect that this is the legendary Dingshui Belt?

In that case, he might have to go through a little twist and turn if he wanted to buy this treasure.

After a glance, he found that Mr. Peng on his side still looked absent-minded, completely unloved for the bronzes on the stage, and even a few people nearby were roughly like this, all of them looked at the stage with a smile and a speechless expression, as if they were very sneering at the auction house for taking out this thing.

But Zhou Mingluo did not relax because of this, mainly because the range of his sight was too small, and he was extremely hidden when he did this action, and he could see the movements of a few people nearby at most, which did not mean that everyone else at the auction was like this.

"Forget it, even if someone competes with me, even if it costs a lot, I have to win it." Sighing helplessly, Zhou Mingluo looked squarely at the stage.

But at this moment, Lin Hao, who was on his side, suddenly chuckled and said, "Mingluo, what the hell do you say this auction house is doing, taking such a thing that I don't know what it is, and it may just be a broken artifact plus a broken bronze artifact, isn't this a clear intention to be cold?" Don't have antiques as soon as the afternoon starts shooting, then the fun is great. ”

Obviously, Lin Hao, like those ordinary people, is not optimistic about the water belt on the stage at all.

But his words made the corners of Zhou Mingluo's mouth twitch slightly, and he missed the shot? It's absolutely impossible for this thing to go unauctioned, and maybe it can even fetch a sky-high price.

Shaking his head and not answering, the old man in Tang costume on the high platform said with a smile, "Now, the auction of Lot 202 has officially begun!" ”

A hammer sounded on the ground, but the whole venue fell into silence, no one raised a sign at all, and it was still like this after dozens of seconds, and there was a sudden chuckle in the venue.

Nobody wants!

There is no one in a huge venue who raises a sign to bid, is this thing really going to be auctioned? Even the old man on the high platform had a slight hint of embarrassment in his eyes, but Zhou Mingluo was overjoyed, he didn't raise his card before just to see if someone would really compete with him, but he didn't expect to react for so long? Isn't it true that no one has ever heard of the hose?

Just when he was about to raise the card happily, he saw a number plate suddenly raised from behind.

"Well, this gentleman with the No. 79 plate is bidding 11,000 yuan!"

"11,000 yuan for the first time, are there any other gentlemen and ladies who want to bid?"

…… The 79 card that was suddenly raised directly made the old man in Tang costume happy, this thing is going to be really auctioned, it is inevitable that it will be embarrassing, after all, this is just the beginning of the afternoon auction, and now someone is really holding a card, that is a good phenomenon.

It was also with his words that another voice suddenly sounded, "I'll give 20,000!" ”

Along with the sound was the number 127 plaque.

"Okay, this gentleman with No. 127 plate bid 20,000 ......" The old man in Tang costume was overjoyed again, but before he finished speaking, the previous No. 79 plate was raised again, and the price was increased by 1,000 yuan again.

………… It was also when the two were competing for bidding that the other people in the venue were dumbfounded, and they looked speechless, this broken thing was really bidding.

However, because the bidding between the two is only a competition of tens of thousands, the others just glanced at it.

"The No. 127 plate is Mr. Zhang of Lanyun Jewelry in the provincial capital, I didn't expect him to be interested in this thing, I heard that he didn't like bronzes very much before." And Peng Liren turned around to look at it, then retracted his gaze and whispered to Zhou Mingluo on the side, "That Mr. Zhang is not simple, his net worth is not below me, I thought he would bid for that Ru kiln porcelain with me in the morning, but I didn't expect him to give up after only raising a card once." ”

With Peng Liren's explanation, Zhou Ming fell down slightly, and his eyes when he looked at the middle-aged man at No. 127 also changed slightly, maybe this Mr. Zhang Bacheng also heard the wind.

It was also in the whispering of the two that Mr. Zhang raised the number plate again and spoke directly, "Fifty thousand!" ”

In a word, the No. 79 card that was the first to raise the card suddenly weakened its momentum, and after raising his eyes and looking at Mr. Zhang, he put down the sign a little depressedly, and saw the old man on the auction table at this scene, and immediately smiled, "No. 127 plate This gentleman bid 50,000, 50,000 for the first time!" ”

The momentum of the competitors is weak, I'm afraid this thing belongs to Mr. Zhang, but he is already satisfied with the price of 50,000 yuan for this thing.

At this moment, Mr. Zhang was still calm and light, and glanced at the venue lightly, but there was an indifferent look in his eyes, it seemed that it was just a whim.

"Is this guy really on a whim?" Zhou Mingluo whispered to himself, but he immediately raised the number plate in his hand, "One hundred thousand!" ”

Regardless of whether the other party wanted to take down the broken water belt on a whim, or pretended to be determined to win it on a whim, it seemed that he was only one opponent left, and he would defeat him.

"Good! No. 178 Mr. Zhou bid 100,000 yuan, it seems that Mr. Zhou is also interested in this bronze, is it really a treasure? ”

This time, he suddenly raised his hand, but he was very happy with the auctioneer on the stage, and suddenly looked at Zhou Mingluo with bright eyes.

But Lin Hao looked at it very incomprehensibly, he had just said that this thing might be unsold, but he didn't expect Zhou Mingluo to be interested? However, Lin Hao didn't think much about it, with what he knew now, Zhou Mingluo casually threw out 100,000 yuan as if it was playing, what was so strange.

"200,000!"

Almost at the same time, Mr. Zhang in the rear also raised the number plate again, and looked directly at Zhou Mingluo, with a trace of vigilance flashing in his eyes.

"300,000!" Zhou Mingluo shot again, and his expression remained the same.

"400,000!"

………… In just a few breaths, the two of them raised the price of 100,000 yuan again and again, all of them were calm and calm, and there was no wavering at all, and they quickly pushed the bronze pipe to a high price of 1.3 million.

It was only at this time that Mr. Zhang's face showed a trace of hesitation, and Zhou Mingluo, who looked at him suspiciously, glanced at him again, and said, "5 million!" ”

………… Wow~ The whole venue was completely messy, and everyone looked at Mr. Zhang in amazement, isn't Nima, is this guy stupid? Just such a broken pipe on the stage, he actually bid five million? Once it was 3.7 million higher than the previous price, such an increase was only once in the morning, and the bidding price of 5 million was already the second highest in the auction so far.

Everyone saw Mr. Zhang and the competitors of the No. 79 card bidding with each other before, although they also paid attention to it a few times, they didn't care much, after all, they were only thousands of chips and tens of thousands of chips, not worth noting, but now who would have thought that since Zhou Mingluo joined the battle group for just a few breaths, the two of them raised the price of that thing to five million without blinking all the way?

Crazy, this one is absolutely crazy!

Even Zhou Mingluo looked back in surprise, and at the same time, he was 100% sure in his heart, this Zhang must have heard the rumors of the Dingshui belt, otherwise he would never be so ruthless, the current situation of the other party is not the same way he dealt with Peng Liren in the morning.

"Five million, No. 127 plate this gentleman bid five million!" The auctioneer on the high platform was also stunned, he really didn't expect things to develop to this point, dark horse, this bronze pipe is definitely the biggest dark horse in the auction.

Just as he shouted excitedly, Zhou Mingluo smiled faintly and raised his card again, "6 million!" ”

He is really calm, even if there is a strong competitor like Mr. Zhang, he has the absolute confidence to defeat the other party, this confidence does not come from the fact that he can operate more financially, but from the fact that he does not believe that Mr. Zhang can be 100% sure that it is a fixed water belt.

Even those who have seen this thing in Dingshui are a little suspicious that this is a hallucination, but I am afraid that what I have heard will only doubt its authenticity, for example, Song Lao before is not sure if someone is playing him.

Can Mr. Zhang be 100% confident that it is a historical artifact? He definitely doesn't have 100% confidence, as long as the other party has no confidence, then it is impossible to gamble on this.

If he wants to take this thing, he probably has doubts, and at most he is one or two points sure that it is a fixed water belt, and the five million just now is probably his limit, even if it is not, it will not be too far behind.

And he is 100% sure that it is a fixed water belt, and he definitely has the strongest confidence to take it, let alone millions, even if he throws 100 million for this, he will not hesitate to throw 100 million.

With a faint smile, Zhou Mingluo looked back, and suddenly found that a trace of panic flashed in Mr. Zhang's eyes, this is the panic after the opponent saw through the hole cards, five million, it is indeed his limit.

After all, he just heard that there is a Dingshui belt in the world, and he himself can't believe the news, originally he also felt that the one on the stage was very similar, he could fight, and it didn't matter if he threw out tens of thousands of yuan, but he didn't expect to kill Zhou Mingluo, a fierce man!

"Six million, Mr. Zhou bid 6 million, six million for the first time!"

With a snap, the auctioneer on the high platform was excited again incomparably, the dark horse, this dark horse is really violent, and this time the competitors are two fierce people, maybe this thing can be auctioned for a higher price, how can he not be excited.

When the hammer sounded on the ground, the old man in Tang costume looked at Mr. Zhang with anticipation, but then he was dumbfounded and found that Mr. Zhang, who was still full of confidence after shouting five million just now, seemed to be determined to win this thing, and he obviously looked a little lacking in confidence at this moment.

When he was looking at Zhou Mingluo, but saw that Zhou Mingluo still had a faint expression, and he couldn't see joy or anger, he suddenly understood that this contest was probably Mr. Zhou again, but he didn't care about these at all, he just looked at Mr. Zhang with extremely hopeful eyes, he didn't care who won in the end, he just hoped that Mr. Zhang would continue to bid now.

But Mr. Zhang didn't seem to hear his shout, and finally sat down after hesitating for a while, just looking at Zhou Mingluo with a wry smile.

"Six million for the second time!"

The old man in Tang costume was suddenly disappointed, and Mr. Zhang admitted defeat? This Nima is too fast.

But he didn't understand Mr. Zhang's mentality at all, he just heard that there was a god like Dingshui, and the one on the stage was also somewhat similar, so he had the courage to compete, but that kind of hearsay does not mean that he has absolute confidence to believe.

At most, he was sure that it was true.

It's okay to invest five million for this two-percent certainty, but that's really the limit.

He suddenly increased the price because he wanted to bluff Zhou Mingluo away and let him see his determination, but he didn't expect people to see through his disguise at a glance and be unmoved at all.

Of course, if he wants to disgust Zhou Mingluo, he can also compete with his surname, just raise the price, he saw Zhou Mingluo's very calm demeanor, the other party seems to be determined to win, and it is estimated that the other party will continue to raise the price, and when the time comes, he only needs to raise his hand a few times, and he may let Zhou Mingluo spend millions or more more for this.

But he is not stupid, he and the surnamed Zhou have no grievances, why should he erect such a big enemy? The kind of thing that hurts others and is not good for himself is done by an idiot, and he is not an idiot.

Since you have no confidence and don't want to make enemies in vain, and the bid has exceeded your bottom line, it is better to simply admit defeat.

"Six million for the third time, okay, this bronze is officially owned by Mr. Zhou of the No. 178 plate, congratulations to Mr. Zhou!"

After another pause, the old man in Tang costume on the auction table reluctantly dropped the third hammer, announcing that this bronze was obtained by Zhou Mingluo, and it was only at this time that there was an uproar in the venue, and everyone looked at Zhou Mingluo in shock.

After all, the vast majority of people were not optimistic about the antiques that they thought might be unauctioned, but in the blink of an eye, they sold for a high price of six million, which was definitely beyond the expectations of too many people.

It was impossible for them not to be stunned.

But now that the dust has fallen, it is a fact, so in the uproar, many people have been shocked, is this bronze pipe really what kind of treasure?

After all, they don't know and don't know what they don't know doesn't mean it's garbage.

Lin Hao was even more stunned and went directly to Zhou Mingluo, and said excitedly, "Mingluo, you actually spent six million to take it, what is that thing?" Is it really a treasure? ”

Not only was Lin Hao's face full of excitement and curiosity, Peng Liren and Song Cheng, as well as a few people sitting closer to the back row, all turned their heads with great interest, eager to hear the answer from Zhou Mingluo's mouth.

But in the face of this, Zhou Mingluo shook his head lightly and said, "I'm not sure, I'll know until I get my hands on it." ”

He said this inevitably, he had never been up to the front desk and had not really watched it up close, how could he tell others with certainty what it was?

But this sentence instantly overturned a group of people, Nima is not, you are not sure, I don't know if it is a treasure, and you dare to throw out six million to buy it? That's six million, not six hundred, you dare to waste it like this?

But after thinking about it carefully, they still have to admit that even if that thing is really a treasure Zhou Mingluo has not been up to see it before, it is absolutely impossible to be sure, he is absolutely the truth when he says this.

But the more certain they were that the other person was telling the truth, the more they became speechless.

This guy is simply invincible, just for the sake of a possibility, he dared to throw six million casually, which is much more powerful than the 25 million noodles he threw in the morning without changing color. Because the 25 million in the morning is everyone can be sure that it is bidding for Ru kiln porcelain, now? People don't know if it's a treasure at all, and it can be said that the six million is completely a reflection of personal courage.

Even Peng Liren's cheeks twitched when he heard this, and his eyes looking at Zhou Mingluo were full of deep jealousy, and he made up his mind that no matter what the occasion in the future, he must not fight against this guy, otherwise he will definitely lose.

The point is that this guy is too bold!

Lin Hao rolled his eyes and softened, he found that he and Zhou Ming were together, and sooner or later he would have to be irritated by the nervous disorders, and he was still the deputy director of the Department of Finance. Needless to say, the others were all thundered, both speechless and amazed.

"Heh, I'm sure Mr. Zhang can't be 100% sure of the origin of that thing, didn't he also give out five million?" Seeing the expressions of several people, Zhou Mingluo suddenly chuckled.

But he didn't say it, but he said it, and when he said it, it was undoubtedly powerful again, Mr. Zhang? They also know which Mr. Zhang is estimated to be just for a possibility, after all, he hasn't gone up to appreciate it carefully, but Mr. Zhang and him are not at the same level at all, and the momentum of the one who bid five million has completely withered, what about Zhou Mingluo? Throwing out six million eyes without blinking, they were still so calm, they had no doubt that even if Mr. Zhang hesitated to raise the price in the end, Zhou Mingluo would continue to fight back without caring at all, and the two of them were not comparable at all.

That Mr. Zhang can be regarded as a bold person, but Zhou Mingluo is undoubtedly much more bullish.
