The hall on the second floor of the antique city is very large, with thousands of square meters, and it is crowded with people.

At the innermost part of the hall, there is a large booth, which is full of large and small gambling stones, the large one has a diameter of more than one meter, and the small one is only the size of a fist, but without exception, all of them are covered with heads.

Under the stage is the guest area, where there are more than 200 chairs, and those sitting on these chairs are either rich local tyrants or senior gambling stone players. The other thousands of players could only stand at the back of the guest area in a crowded manner.

The front row of chairs in the guest area is different from the chairs in the back, and it is an antique Nanmu Taishi chair. Sitting in this row of chairs are the most distinguished guests.

Ding Junjie held a folding fan of Xiaoxiang bamboo in his hand, crossed Erlang's legs, and sat proudly on the Taishi chair in the middle.

In the back chair next to him, there were two middle-aged people in Tang costumes, who were the two gambling stone expert consultants that Ding Junjie invited at a high price.

The two experts leaned forward and whispered something to Ding Junjie in front of them.

At this time, two workers lifted a gambling stone from the booth and placed it on an auction table in the center of the booth.

Immediately afterwards, the auctioneer walked up to the booth and began to introduce the No. 20 gambling stone lot on the auction table.

This is an oval-shaped gambling stone, not small, with a diameter of more than 50 centimeters. It has a gray-brown sandstone surface and is a gambling stone produced in the Damukan mining area of Myanmar.

Although this gambling stone is also a head covering, the surface of the stone skin has been artificially polished out of a small window, revealing the crystal and moist jade inside.

Judging from the part of the skylight, the jade texture in this gambling stone has reached the ice species, which can be said to be very good. Because of this, there are many players who fancy this gambling stone.

After introducing the lot in detail, the auctioneer said aloud to the audience.

"Lot 20, the starting price is 300,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 5,000 yuan each time, and now everyone can bid!"

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, someone in the audience raised a sign,

"I'll pay 310,000!"

A guest sitting in the third row of the guest area raised the number plate in his hand.

"Very good, the No. 126 guest took the lead, and the price was increased by 10,000 yuan at a time!"

The auctioneer approving.

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged businessman with a big belly sitting on the west side of the first row of the guest area also raised the number plate in his hand.

"I'll give 320,000!"

The middle-aged businessman said.

This person's name is Hu Fugui, a well-known local tyrant coal boss in Binhai City, worth more than 1 billion, and he has just recently become obsessed with gambling stones.

Hu Fugui's words had not yet fallen, and someone later increased the price to 530,000.

Many guests at the scene were optimistic about this stone, and the bidding voices came and went, one after another. Within a few minutes, the price had risen to 1 million yuan.

During this period, Ding Junjie has been sitting comfortably on his Taishi chair without making a single offer.

However, he had been staring at the gambling stone on the stage, and from time to time he whispered and laughed with the two expert advisors behind him.

When the bidding for this gambling stone lot rose to 1.5 million, Ding Junjie finally made a move. As soon as he made a move, he shouted the price directly to 2 million!

When other guests bid before, they all rose by 11,000 yuan, but Ding Junjie made his first bid, and he increased the price by 500,000 yuan in one go.

His shouting shocked the audience.

"Wocao, who is this young man, he actually raised the price by 500,000 in one go, it's too fierce!"

"I really don't know, you don't know Ding Shao?"

"Ding Shao, is it Ding Junjie, the only son of Ding Beihai, chairman of the Ding Group?"

"Of course it's him, who else but him can be so unconcerned about money?"

"Wocao, I say, no wonder!"

In the auction hall, there was a lot of discussion.

Ding Junjie heard all kinds of discussions coming from behind, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile. He likes nothing more than to spend a lot of money in a place like this, and the more people are shocked, the more proud he becomes.

The auctioneer on the stage was also surprised by Ding Junjie's bid.

The auctioneer was stunned for a few seconds, then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. He couldn't be more familiar with Ding Junjie, he knew that once Ding Shao fell in love with a gambling stone, the price of that gambling stone would definitely be able to fetch a high price!

"Great! Ding Shao, the No. 001 VIP guest, increased the price by 500,000 yuan at one time, and directly raised the price of the No. 20 gambling stone lot to 2 million!

The auctioneer shouted in an excited voice.

The bidding that was still going on and on just now came to an abrupt end after Ding Junjie's bidding, and no one dared to bid for a while.

Ding Junjie's fame is very big in the gambling stone circle, and he is well-known for spending money and having strong financial resources.

Ordinary people can't compete with him at all!

A minute passed, and no one in the audience raised their cards again, and two minutes passed, and no one in the audience raised their cards.

The auctioneer on the stage did not rush to urge other guests to bid, nor did he rush to drop the hammer, but just looked at the many guests in the audience with a smile.

He is experienced and very calm.

He knew that the quality of the No. 20 gambling stone lot was very high, and the value was far more than 2 million, and there must be other local tyrants who were willing to increase the price.

Sure enough, after a few minutes of silence at the scene, another bid was made.

"I'll give 2.01 million!"

A guest in the back row of the guest seat quoted a very cautious price.

"Grandma's, I'll pay 2.1 million!"

Hu Fugui, the famous local tyrant coal boss, roared loudly.

"Okay, very good, Boss Hu has increased the price again! It seems that the No. 20 gambling stone lot is highly sought after by everyone!"

The auctioneer at the booth shouted in a demagogic voice.

Before the auctioneer's words fell, Ding Junjie raised the number plate in his hand again.

"I'll pay 2.6 million!"

Ding Junjie said proudly.

As soon as his offer came out, the hall was in an uproar again.

"Wocao, Ding Shao is too domineering! Others increase the price, all of them are 100,000 upwards, and as soon as he opens his mouth, it is 500,000 and 500,000 upwards!"

"What a rich man!"

"Ding Shao is awesome, he is really rich!"

"Ding Shao is not only rich, he is so rich, his father Ding Beihai's net worth is tens of billions!

After Ding Junjie made two bids, no one else followed for a while, and the audience became silent again.

Senior players in the gambling stone circle know that if Ding Junjie falls in love with a gambling stone, he will definitely find a way to buy that gambling stone.

Sometimes, the price he shouted was even far higher than the true value of the gambling stone.

But even so, he will keep raising the price to the end!

On the one hand, this is because Ding Junjie's family has strong financial resources, and on the other hand, it is also a treacherous strategy of Ding Junjie. He just wants to rely on his strong financial resources to establish a strong reputation in the gambling stone circle, so that no one dares to compete with him for the gambling stones.

I have to say that Ding Junjie's trick does often work.

There have been many times when Ding Junjie has relied on this strategy to shoot high-quality gambling stones at a lower price and make a lot of money.

It's a pity that among the people who are fighting with him for this gambling stone today, one person is Hu Fugui!

Hu Fugui, although his financial resources are far less than those of the Ding family, he is also a wealthy man worth more than 1 billion. The most important thing is that Hu Fugui is the one with the most axial personality in the local tyrant circle in the coastal area!
