"The starting price of this porcelain jar is two hundred thousand. Each increment must be no less than ten thousand." Dong Wanyin said with a smile.
"Two hundred thousand? You dare to sell it for two hundred thousand without any information? If this thing is just a urinal from ancient times, then I will spend two hundred thousand to buy a urinal. Wouldn't my brain be crazy?"
"Yeah, why don't we let the appraisers at the scene take a look? I believe there must be a lot of appraisers at the scene."
"That makes sense. I have a lot of experience in appraising treasures. Why don't you let me appraise them?"
Looking at the chaotic crowd below the stage, Dong Wanyin's smile did not diminish. She shook her head and said. "Everyone, don't make things difficult for me. Things that have not been successfully auctioned cannot be appraised by everyone. Although the information of this porcelain jar is unclear, it does not affect that it is an ancient object."
"Since it's an ancient object, it naturally has its own wonders. Let's see if you all dare to make a bet!"
After saying this, Dong Wanyin knocked on the small wooden mallet in her hand and said in a clear voice, "Then let the bidding begin now. If there are any friends who want to make a bet, you can start bidding."
With that, the entire place fell into silence.
Obviously, spending 200,000 on something that they did not understand was not a wise move. Although the people present did not lack 200,000, no one's money was earned by a strong wind. Even if they wanted to spend it, they would not spend it like this.
Dong Wanyin's eyes swept across the entire place. After confirming that no one was bidding, she could not help but sigh.
Just as she was about to announce that the auction was going to end, a calm voice came from the corner of the venue, "Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
Hua!
The moment she heard the voice, the venue immediately went into an uproar.
Everyone's gaze was focused on the corner, wanting to see who the fool who shouted out 250,000 was.
Chen Mengyao also looked at the man beside her with a face full of surprise, not understanding why Chu Fann called out the price. No one thought highly of this thing, but Chu Fann still wanted to bid. What was he thinking?
"Mr Chu Fann..." Chen Mengyao carefully tugged at Chu Fann's sleeve.
Chu Fann smiled. "It's okay. I have my own ideas."
Only at this moment did the crowd react. Dong Wanyin on the stage let out a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Someone has already bid 250 thousand. Is there anyone else who bids higher?"
"Hehe, this person is probably an idiot. Other people start bidding at 200,000, but each time they raise the price, they just won't increase it by more than 10,000. In the end, he increases the price by 50,000 each time. He really is an idiot with a lot of money!"
"Is there even a need to say? He is definitely just trying to make a show of himself. Look at him sitting in such a corner, he is definitely not a representative of a big family. Only this kind of thing that no one wants can he take the opportunity to show his face."
"That makes sense. No one wants this kind of thing from him. He only spent 50,000 yuan to show off in front of so many big families in Jing'an District. He definitely won't lose out!"
The sound of mocking laughter rose and fell. Everyone was staring at Chu Fann with mocking eyes.
Chen Wenjie almost broke out in laughter. Although he didn't know where Chu Fann got the money from, looking at him like he was pretending to be fat, he estimated that he only had 250,000 yuan in his pocket.
At this time, Dong Wanyin on the stage had already started to hammer. "Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price? If not, this porcelain jar will be completed..."
"Wait a minute, I'll bid 260,000!"
Before Dong Wanyin could finish her sentence, a mocking laughter suddenly sounded.
Everyone's eyes swept over and focused on Chen Wenjie, who was not far away from Chu Fann.
When Chu Fann saw Chen Wenjie, he could not help but frown slightly. Why did this guy always like to go against him? He even wanted to step out and stir up trouble when he bought a porcelain jar that no one wanted. It was too boring.
"If there is a mister who offers 260,000, then is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?" Dong Wanyin's eyes swept across Chen Wenjie. She naturally understood that he was going against Chu Fann on purpose, so she looked directly at Chu Fann's position.
Chu Fann didn't even think about it. He raised the plate and said, "500,000 yuan."
Hua!
Once again, the crowd was shocked by Chu Fann's bid.
At first, everyone thought that Chu Fann's bid was purely for the sake of sensationalism, but now that he had doubled it in one go, was it still sensationalism? Moreover, how could someone who could casually bid 500,000 in the Auction only sit in a corner?
Could it be that this was another person who pretended to be a pig to eat a tiger? And this porcelain jar did indeed have something extraordinary about it. It was just that they didn't discover it.
Everyone had different thoughts. There were some people who even began to stir, having thoughts of bidding.
Chen Wenjie's face was gloomy. He stared at Chu Fann. He wanted to skin Chu Fann alive.
He raised the price ten thousand just to humiliate Chu Fann. He thought he could make this kid lose face, but he didn't expect him to double the price. This way, the one who would lose face would be him!
"Five hundred thousand going once. Is there anyone else who wants to increase the price?!" Dong Wanyin asked.
"I bid five hundred and ten thousand!" Just as everyone was discussing, Chen Wenjie increased the price again. He only increased the price by 10,000. This time, even a fool would know that he and Chu Fann were not on good terms.
"This Chen Wenjie is so annoying. He is purposely targeting Mr Chu Fann!" Chen Mengyao looked at Chen Wenjie and said angrily.
Chu Fann smiled and said disdainfully, "Don't worry. He is not worthy to play with me."
As soon as he said that, Chu Fann raised his plate and said indifferently, "One million!"
This time, everyone was stunned by Chu Fann's bid. Everyone's mouths were wide open, and they couldn't say anything for a long time.
Even the representatives of the big families in the front row couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Chu Fann a few more times.
Uncle Ding, who was sitting in the first row, had a faint smile on his face. He didn't turn his head back. Chu Fann didn't show up as the young master of Tianmen Mansion. As the spokesperson of Chu family in Jing'an District, he naturally had to come.
Now that Chu Fann had repeatedly bid for a broken porcelain jar, he didn't feel anything wrong.
After all, the ban on Chu Fann had been lifted by the Chu family. The amount of assets he could use had long exceeded the imagination of ordinary people. A mere few hundred thousand was not even a fraction of the Chu family's assets' interest.
Dong Wanyin, who was on the stage, was so shocked that she was speechless.
The initial plan of the Dong family to auction off this porcelain jar was to satisfy it as long as it was not sold out. Now that Chu Fann had raised the price to one million, it was far beyond their expectations.
"One, one million. This gentleman bids one million. Anyone else bidding?" Dong Wanyin's voice was trembling. If it wasn't for her firm heart, she would have made a fool of herself.
"Wenjie, don't increase the price anymore. This guy is a madman. There's no need for us to bicker with a madman!" Below the stage, Zhong Ting looked at Chen Wenjie's ferocious expression and could not help persuading him.
