Lan Ling pursed her lips, thinking that this kid was becoming more and more unreliable.
Do you really think 100 million is a small goal?
You have plenty at home?
Even Ma Yun wouldn't dare to boast like that, right?
She simply stopped talking and quietly watched Lin Yu perform.
The artifacts were brought to the stage one by one.
The atmosphere at the auction was getting more and more heated.
Half an hour later, the auction finally reached its climax.
Because the final, most anticipated item is about to be auctioned!
The female host, her face beaming with enthusiasm, said into the microphone, "Next up is our final and most anticipated item of the day. I'm sure you all already know what it is before the auction even started!"
"And I believe that many bosses have come here today with their pockets full, traveling from afar, just to be able to bid for this treasure!"
"Alright, I won't waste any more words. Please welcome the last item for today's auction—'Landscape Painting'!"
Wow!
Amidst a lively discussion, a staff member came onto the stage holding a scroll painting.
The two of them worked together to slowly unfurl the scroll, and suddenly, a landscape painting with muted colors but a majestic and magnificent appearance came into view.
"Heavens! It really is the Landscape Painting!"
"An authentic work!"
"I've been looking for it for over ten years, and I never thought I'd finally find it today!"
Many collectors were already in tears, too moved to speak.
This landscape painting may not be the greatest work of all time, but it is definitely a dream masterpiece for countless lovers of ancient paintings.
It is also a masterpiece of ancient painting in the entire history.
"This painting, 'Landscape of Rivers and Mountains' by Wang Ximeng of the Song Dynasty, has a starting bid of 50 million! Ladies and gentlemen, you can start bidding now, with each bid increasing by at least 2 million!"
"Fifty-five million!"
No sooner had the hostess finished speaking than someone shouted it out.
Sixty million!
"Seventy million!"
In just a few breaths, the price had already risen by more than a third of the starting bid!
It's clear that many big shots are determined to get their hands on this painting!
"Hey, the Jiangshan Map is out, why aren't you bidding?" Lan Ling looked at Lin Yu with a teasing expression.
Lin Yu said calmly, "We haven't reached the top yet, what's the rush?"
Lan Ling was taken aback, then pursed her lips. Goodness, she was really good at pretending.
In his view, this was just an excuse Lin Yu had deliberately come up with. He was probably scared off by the price.
She thought for a moment and said, "This is something from Ziming's family, and it's also Uncle Huang's favorite painting. If you really want to bid on it, I can cooperate with you. I can help you put up 50 million. How about it?"
Lin Yu glanced at her, shook his head and laughed, "It's just a painting, I can do it myself. Your Lan family isn't doing too well right now, so you should save some money!"
"You!" Lan Ling's pretty face flushed red.
This guy, if you don't want to use it, you don't have to, but you still look down on people!
Lan Ling is a person who cares a lot about her image, and she immediately felt very angry!
Okay, then you can take the picture yourself. If you can't take it in a bit, I'd like to see how you feel about it!
Lan Ling thought angrily to herself. She was just waiting to see Lin Yu make a fool of himself.
"One hundred million!"
Just then, a loud and confident voice came from the direction of the VIP seats.
Wow!
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Good heavens!
I wonder which big shot jumped from 80 million to 100 million!
They're incredibly wealthy!
This is probably also meant to show others my determination and to discourage other competitors!
"It's Young Master Hu!"
"The Hu family, one of the four great families within the Great Wall?"
"It's him! I heard that Young Master Hu has been pursuing Miss Jiang recently, and he wants to bid on this painting as a way to express his love to her!"
The crowd was buzzing with discussion.
If it were an ordinary person, the bigwigs present might not have given them face.
After all, one hundred million is just a pittance to someone with a net worth of billions.
But since this person is Young Master Hu, they have to think about it.
After all, given the Hu family's status within the Great Wall, even top-tier wealthy families wouldn't dare to offend them.
There were also some bigwigs from other places present, but they were all very familiar with the Hu family's reputation.
So for a moment, the atmosphere froze, and no one made another bid!
Even Lan Ling sighed, "Hu Jun has made his move; this painting is likely to be overlooked!"
Lin Yu frowned. "You know him?"
Lan Ling nodded. "He is the eldest son of the Hu family, one of the four great families! He was the one who led the report when Ziming was found to be in possession of drugs! Yet, the night before, he was drinking with Ziming. I don't believe there wasn't a conspiracy behind this!"
"Oh, really?" Lin Yu clenched his fist slowly after hearing this, a cold smile appearing on his lips. "Then he's just unlucky to have run into me today!"
"Huh?" Lan Ling was stunned.
Just then, Lin Yu slowly raised his hand, "One hundred and fifty million!"
brush!
When the number was announced, the entire room fell silent.
Immediately following was an uproar.
Who is it?
They actually didn't give Young Master Hu any face?
And this is just too extravagant, adding fifty million right off the bat!
That's awesome!
Lan Ling was also stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment!
She thought Lin Yu had given up, but she didn't expect him to raise the price at this moment and confront Hu Jun head-on!
At this moment, Hu Jun, who was in the VIP section, was also somewhat taken aback!
"What's going on? Whose kid is this? Didn't I tell you to make sure all the big shots who came today give me some face?!"
Hu Jun's expression was very unpleasant, because he had already made a statement before the auction started and had also personally spoken to several bigwigs.
What I thought was foolproof still went wrong!
However, 150 million was nothing to him, and in a fit of pique, he raised his hand again.
Two hundred million!
brush!
The scene erupted in cheers once again!
Good heavens! Young Master Hu also cares about his reputation, going straight for two hundred million! He's clearly trying to regain his pride and also make the other party back down!
As soon as the voice fell, no one bid anymore.
Hu Jun curled his lip in disdain and muttered, "Little basket, you want to play with me? Do you even have the ability?"
In his view, the person who just raised the price was just a hothead who would definitely be intimidated by his arrogant demeanor.
But at that moment, the young man behind him raised his hand again, shouting, "Three hundred million!"
The scene fell completely silent.
There was not a sound.
It felt as if an invisible giant slap had landed directly on Hu Jun's face from a distance.
It was making a really loud slapping sound!
No one expected that this young man would show such disrespect to Young Master Hu!
Meanwhile, Lan Ling, who was sitting next to Lin Yu, also felt her head buzzing.
Three hundred million?
How can you raise prices like that? A hundred million in one go?
You really consider that a small goal?
"Lin, Brother Lin, are you deliberately trying to make things difficult for Hu Jun? But if he withdraws from the bidding, you..."
