At this moment, the atmosphere at the auction site has become very lively.

Collectors raised their hands to bid:

"9 million!"

"9.5 million!"

“10 million!”

“11 million!”

“11.5 million!”

“12 million!”

The price was quickly raised to 12 million.

Ma Changbo also followed the price all the way and never gave in.

Many collectors stopped following at this point.

But an old man in a Tang suit near midfield held up a sign:

"12.5 million!"

Ma Changbo also followed suit and raised his sign:

“13 million!”

The old man raised his sign again:

“13.5 million!”

Ma Changbo couldn't hold on any longer.

I looked at the old man with tears and laughter and said:

"Mr. Hou, I fell in love with this treasure yesterday. Can you please give it up?"

Upon hearing this, Mr. Hou laughed and said:

"Everyone in the circle knows that I like playing with stones. It's rare to come across such a rare piece, so of course I have to get it."

Ma Changbo was in tears, knowing that he had met his match.

In this circle, apart from Tang Dahai, only Hou Lao dares to compete with him.

But Tang Dahai is the organizer and generally won't act rashly.

Because we will try our best to take care of the guests who come to the conference first.

"Mr. Hou, I've already bought the brushes, what can I do without an inkstone?"

Ma Changbo joked:

"I want to leave this for my son to carry on the family line!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.

Hou Laodao:

"That's none of my business. I like this stone."

Zhuang Zhou then spoke again:

"13.5 million, is there anyone bidding higher?"

This must have been said to Ma Changbo.

Although the two of them drank last night, they got close to each other.

But no one expected it.

At this time, Mr. Hou will appear unexpectedly.

The price has reached 13.5 million.

Ma Changbo was also a little overwhelmed.

The original plan was to get it for just over 10 million.

But now.

yes!

Since you want to follow me, Mr. Hou, I will never let you have it easy.

Let your blood flow.

Do a favor for my brother Zhuang Zhou.

Think of this.

Ma Changbo raised the sign again:

“14 million!”

As expected, Mr. Hou raised the sign:

"14.5 million!"

It’s not much, just 500,000 each time.

Ma Changbo made up his mind and added 1.5 million directly:

"16 million!"

Wow!

There was an uproar in the audience.

This is going to be lively.

The starting price was 7.8 million, and now it has reached 16 million.

key.

Judging from the situation, there is still room for growth.

Zhuang Zhou looked at the rising prices and felt secretly happy.

Add it!

Add as much as you want!

I love it so much!

Only two treasures were sold.

I got 20 million!

At this time, Mr. Hou yawned and said:

"Boss Ma, please don't make me bleed. I'll give you a final price of 18 million. That's good enough, right?"

Upon hearing this, Ma Changbo didn't say anything more.

Laughing:

"Mr. Hou is so rich and powerful, I have to admit he is inferior to me!"

Then he looked at Zhuang Zhou:

"Boss Zhuang, the hammer may fall!"

Only then did Zhuang Zhou understand.

Okay!

Although Ma Changbo couldn't snatch the inkstone.

But the price was raised to 18 million.

This is a great gift for myself!

Really good at playing!

But according to the procedure, Zhuang Zhou still waited for a few seconds.

Then he said:

"18 million for the first time!"

"18 million for the second time!"

"18 million for the third time..."

"Bang!"

"make a deal!"
