Although she didn't want the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce to be cheated and have its reputation ruined, Miss Mu was still unwilling to spend a lot of money to buy a bunch of fake goods. Now that someone has taken over, it would be strange if she didn't throw it away quickly.
Seeing this scene in the audience, Che Xiang was also slightly stunned. However, after all, he had followed Mu Hanyan for such a long time, so Che Xiang knew her more or less well. When he saw the smile in Mu Hanyan's eyes, he immediately came to his senses. The eldest young master was planning to trick him again.
Although his strength is not as good as Hua Yue Zirong's gold medal fighters, when it comes to vision, Che Xiang is not inferior at all. If the eldest master wants to cheat someone, of course he has to cooperate with him fully.
"Six hundred thousand for the first time, six hundred thousand for the second time, six hundred thousand for the third time. OK, deal." Che Xiang said at a flying speed, and then slammed the auction hammer down with a bang.
"Uh..." Mo Yanhong was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned blue, looking as ugly as if he was constipated.
Everyone in the audience was also stunned. Mu Hanyan had just acted as if she was determined to win and couldn't wait to make a bid without waiting for Master Ji to verify its authenticity. Why did she give up so quickly?
And Young Master Mo Yanhong, why does he look so ugly? Although 600,000 is a bit high to buy a Sky Star Blue Spirit Grass, about 200,000 more than the normal price, but if he really needs it urgently, or is making a bet, he shouldn't be so upset. The face of a young master from a noble family cannot be bought with a mere 200,000 taels of silver.
No one knew what Mo Yanhong was feeling, but he knew it all too well. Six hundred thousand taels for a worthless weed, a fake he'd personally concocted. It would be strange if he wasn't feeling aggrieved.
Mo Yanhong felt as if he had been cheated by Mu Hanyan, or rather, he had been cheated by himself.
Soon, a guard brought the "Sky Star Blue Spirit Grass" to Mo Yanhong and looked at him eagerly.
"What are you looking at? It's just six hundred thousand taels. Are you afraid that I will default on my debt?" Mo Yanhong glared at him fiercely, took out a few banknotes and threw them out with a painful look.
According to the rules of the major chambers of commerce in the Holy Court Continent, not every item needs to be appraised. As long as the buyer is willing, they can bid without appraisal. It’s just that any mistakes will have nothing to do with the chamber of commerce. But once you speak up, you cannot regret it, otherwise you will become an enemy of all chambers of commerce.
Mo Yanhong wasn't a complete fool, and he wouldn't dare do such a thing. He just felt a pang of pain. Even if this Sky Star Blue Spirit Herb was originally his, it would cost money to fake it, hire someone, and then there's the auction house commission. All in all, it would have to be at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan. In other words, he spent over 100,000 or 200,000 yuan on a piece of weed. It would be strange if he didn't feel the pain.
Although everyone was puzzled by Mu Hanyan's behavior, they had to admit that due to the "support" of Mu Dawanku, the transaction prices of Taiyi Jianyuan Dan and Tianxing Blue Spirit Grass were very good, so the atmosphere in the auction hall became lively again.
"President Che, I have a Golden Orchid and would like to ask your Chamber of Commerce to auction it on my behalf." An old man stood up and took out a medicinal herb sealed in a brocade box and said.
"Is this true?" Mu Hanyan asked in her mind.
Xinghuan Qianji remained silent, and Mu Hanyan felt relieved. Given this guy's stubbornness about appearances, if it were a fake, he would have jumped out long ago.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
"Two hundred thousand."
"Three hundred thousand."
…
Although Mu Hanyan did not speak this time, the atmosphere in the auction hall was good. After Ji Gaoxian's appraisal of the first-class item was confirmed, a chorus of bidding could be heard from the audience.
In the end, the Golden Orchid was sold for 500,000 yuan. The old man took the note with a smile on his face, and it was clear from his smile that he was very satisfied with the price.
Next, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce auctioned off several more rare treasures. Xinghuan Qianji didn't say anything, so Mu Hanyan naturally didn't interrupt. All of the treasures were successfully auctioned off, and the prices were quite good. Because the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce was celebrating its grand opening, the commission it collected was much lower than other chambers of commerce, so the people who auctioned off the rare treasures were very satisfied.
The atmosphere in the auction hall became even more heated.
"I have a Zhenxuan Huamai Pill, and I would like to ask your Chamber of Commerce to auction it on my behalf." A middle-aged man stood up and said.
"Fake." Before Mu Hanyan could ask, Xinghuan Qianji's voice sounded in her mind.
In fact, even if he didn't remind her, Mu Hanyan saw the look that Qiu Gongsheng secretly gave to the audience.
"One million." Mu Hanyan stood up and said decisively without thinking.
Judging from the previous performance of the old charlatan Ji Gaoxian, he was probably relying on luck. If Mu Hanyan did not have the support of the charlatan ancestor Xinghuan Qianji, the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce would have been half-dead by him. Mu Hanyan did not dare to pin her hopes on him.
Mu Hanyan didn't want to point out the fakeness of the Zhenxuan Huamai Pill directly, because that would undoubtedly be an insult to Ji Shengun. And Ji Shengun happened to be invited by the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce. Insulting his face would actually be equivalent to insulting the Nanyan Chamber of Commerce, which would be equivalent to damaging its own reputation, which would not be worth the loss.
Mu Hanyan also figured it out. Even if Ji Gaoxian's eyesight was not so good, there were still some genuine materials. Besides, there were so many people in the hall and there was no one who could recognize the goods. Mo Yanhong would not dare to make it too fake if he hired someone to forge it, so this method would not be used many times. It would be better to just spend money to avoid disaster.
Of course, the money couldn't be wasted. She had to get through this difficult time first, and then find a way to get it back from Mo Yanhong. The person who could cheat her, Mu Dawanku, hadn't been born yet!
Everyone fell silent and looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion.
Shopkeeper Zhou's forehead was covered in cold sweat. What on earth did this Mr. Mu mean? Why did he interrupt again?
Ji Gaoxian's face also turned ugly. He had previously auctioned off several rare treasures and could earn a lot of money, so he didn't pay any attention to Mu Hanyan. But before he could be happy for long, this guy stood up again.
Mo Yanhong also looked at Mu Hanyan in confusion. Why was everything fine when others were bidding, but Mu Hanyan jumped out when it was their turn to make a move?
"Master Qiu, did the news leak out?" Mo Yanhong lowered his voice and asked doubtfully.
"It shouldn't be possible, but it's hard to say. The Mu family has a deep foundation and is well-informed. Maybe someone accidentally leaked the news." Qiu Gongsheng also frowned and said speculatively.
Che Xiang looked at Mu Hanyan, a little puzzled, but soon, he turned his gaze to Mo Yanhong, a smile in his eyes. Aside from Hua Yue Zirong and the others, he was probably the only one in the hall who had a vague guess as to what was going on.
"One million, is anyone willing to bid higher?" Che Xiang asked symbolically.
The audience was dejected. While the name of Mu Dayuanku might not have spread throughout the capital, it was well-known in this auction hall. Who would want to compete with him? Furthermore, this Zhenxuan Huamai Pill hadn't been authenticated yet. Whether it was good or bad, or what its quality was, no one knew. Spending a million yuan on it was simply a gamble. Who would be interested in taking on Mu Dayuanku, Mu Baijia?
