Chapter 202: Fierce Competition

"The nobleman at table C3 bid 1,100 taels of silver." The smile in Yin Yin's eyes shone in the candlelight.

When the fourth prince heard this, his face sank suddenly, who dared to grab something from him.

"Table C, the third table is one thousand and one hundred and twenty." Yin Yin began to quote.

The fourth prince turned around and didn't see the person asking for the price, and motioned to the guards to continue to raise their hands, and he was bound to get the pearl this night.

"The nobleman at table No. 4 offered one thousand one hundred and fifty taels of silver." As soon as Yin Yin quoted, the guy at table C raised his hand again.

"The nobleman at table C3 bid 1,200 taels of silver."

This has attracted the attention of many people.

The people sitting in Area C were all wealthy businessmen from Jindu, and when everyone saw someone raise their hands and dare to grab things with the four princes, they were a little excited.

This night pearl is so rare, who doesn't want it.

So one after another people began to raise their hands.

Seeing that the pearl of this night is about to reach 1,800 taels. The fourth prince opened his mouth with a dark face and offered, "Two thousand taels." ”

raised the price by two hundred and fifty taels at once, which can be described as a very bold move.

The third prince next door to the fourth prince saw it, and couldn't help but speak: "The fourth emperor brother is so generous. ”

When the fourth prince saw that the person who spoke was the third prince, he said disapprerovantly, "For the sake of the imperial grandmother, how much money is worth it." ”

These words were heard by the second prince not far away, and he also reacted. Next month is the birthday of the Queen Mother, this night pearl is so rare, it is the most suitable for the imperial grandmother as a birthday gift.

It's a pity that the fourth prince has already increased the price here, and it is not appropriate for him to speak now. If you insist on arguing with the four princes, I am afraid it will be considered a provocation.

So he didn't speak.

"The nobles of Table A No. 4 are two thousand two or three times." Yin Yin slowly announced the price of the four princes.

didn't disappoint her, and just as she was about to call out the deal, someone shouted again.

"Two thousand one hundred taels." Voices came from behind.

The fourth prince was a little annoyed, which of the eight lambs had been robbing him of things. When he finds out, he will definitely not let him go.

"The nobleman at table C3 bid two thousand one hundred taels of silver." Yin Yin was overjoyed when she saw it, after all, the higher the sale price, the more silver she could get, so she wished that the bidding would go on.

"Two thousand two hundred taels." The four princes didn't let the guards shout, and they went on the field in person, which showed that they were angry to a certain extent.

"Two thousand three hundred taels." The man at table C 3 did not intend to let go, and still pursued him relentlessly.

"Two thousand four hundred taels." The fourth prince shouted through gritted teeth.

"Two thousand five hundred taels." No matter how angry the fourth prince was, this guy at Table C No. 3 seemed to rely on him. Always a hundred taels more than he asked.

"Two thousand six hundred taels." The fourth prince jerked back, trying to find the person who was bidding.

However, there were many people at Table B between Table A and Table C, and he still couldn't find the person who asked for the price.

Perhaps it was his angry eyes that worked, and Table C 3 did not continue to raise the price. The four princes got their wish and got the night pearl.

"Congratulations to the nobles of Table A and the fourth table for obtaining our precious Night Pearl, please wait a moment. After our auction is over, come to our lounge to trade. Yin Yin beckoned, and Xiao Er came up with another box, and then took the Night Pearl back.

"Next up is our second exhibit of the evening, Han Xizhi's Spring Night Banquet."

As soon as the painting came out, there was a commotion in the field. Han Xizhi was a famous painter of the previous dynasty, and his picture of the spring night banquet depicted the grand occasion of the emperor of the previous dynasty banqueting the ministers.

The lines of the picture are smooth, the pen and ink are smart, and the color matching is extremely elegant. The most important thing is that there are very few works of Han Xizhi in the world, and this "Spring Night Banquet" was made by him before his death, and it is even more precious.

"Is it okay for you to sell such an important painting?" Li Tingyu was stunned by the painting.

According to the memory of the original owner, the painting was very precious. The status of Picasso is worthy of modern times.

"What's this, there are so many warehouses in the general's mansion for this kind of painting. Don't worry, I picked a picture that my grandfather didn't like very much, and I won't be beaten. Lu Ce said indifferently.

Li Tingyu was shocked when he heard this, as if he saw the future of Lu Ce's beating. She shook her head, erased the bloody images from her mind, and continued to watch Yin Yin show the exhibits to everyone.

"The starting price is five thousand taels of silver." Yin Yin took the painting, walked around in front of the nobles in the front row, and showed them the painting.

"How can we be sure it's true, and what if you fool us with fakes?" Some people in the audience were a little hesitant.

"We've said before, there's nothing to bully about things, you can inspect the goods and then pay. Now, the auction of our second exhibit begins. Yin Yin explained, did not entangle with the person, and directly entered the process into the next step.

"Five thousand one hundred taels." Someone can't wait to start shouting.

"The nobleman at table C No. 1 bid five thousand and one hundred taels of silver, is there anything higher?"

"Five thousand two hundred taels!" Not to be outdone, some people bid out.

"The nobleman at table C4 bid 5,200 taels of silver, is there anything higher?" Yin Yin saw that the market of "Spring Night Banquet" was so good, and she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.

"Five thousand five hundred taels." Someone directly added three hundred taels of silver to the current asking price.

"The nobleman at table C6 bid five thousand two hundred taels of silver, is there anything higher?" Yin Yin's heart blossomed, and her tone was a little more cheerful than before.

The bidders were all wealthy businessmen in District C, but no one in the two areas A and B spoke.

"Why don't those officials and princes ask for a price?" Li Tingyu asked Lu Ce with some curiosity.

"What else can they do, because they don't have any money." Lu Ce saw through the essence at a glance.

As Lu Ce said, several princes were not unimpressed by this painting, but they couldn't take out so much silver. And the officials who had silver at table B did not dare to ask for a price, and a small official could casually take out a few thousand taels of silver.

Doesn't that make it clear that there is a problem?

Therefore, only the wealthy merchants at table C were bidding in the whole venue.

They have silver, but what they lack is this kind of heirloom treasure. And in the process of doing business, you have to deal with officials. Most officials were reluctant to accept the money directly, they preferred this kind of famous calligraphy and painting.

Therefore, these wealthy businessmen are particularly aggressive in raising prices.

"Six thousand taels."

"Six thousand one hundred taels."

"Six thousand five hundred taels."

……

The big guy seems to be because the magnates in the front two rows didn't say anything, so the price increase is very refreshing.

Isn't this a good thing to rob the hearts of nobles?

Thinking of this, the rich businessmen's bidding became more and more intense.

"Eight thousand taels."

"Eight thousand one hundred taels."

The bidding in the market is gradually heating up.

Those princes and officials were very envious.

In the end, it was the owner of Guangjulou who won the painting for 8,800 taels of silver.
