Lan Ling didn't say her next sentence, because it was obvious that Lin Yu's fate would probably be very tragic.
Firstly, if they set arbitrary prices and don't comply, Longxuan Pavilion will never let it go!
Furthermore, he also became enemies with Hu Jun!
You should know that Hu Jun is notoriously vengeful and adept at using underhanded tactics. No one who offended him in the past has ever had a good ending!
Sure enough, Hu Jun slowly stood up, looking at them with icy eyes, and said coldly, "Kid, are you deliberately trying to mess with me, Hu Jun?"
Lin Yu leaned back in his chair, put his hands behind his head, and said lazily, "This is an auction, the highest bidder wins, is there a problem?"
Everyone was stunned.
Are there any other questions?
Everyone else is giving Young Master Hu face today, but you're not. What's the problem?
Do you think Young Master Hu will let you off the hook?
Hu Jun's face was very unpleasant. After all, the other party was bidding normally, and his flustered and pale expression was really unbecoming.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "What's wrong? Young Master Hu, I heard you're from one of the four great families. You can't possibly not even afford a mere antique painting, can you? How about I lend you some?"
Wow!
Good heavens, this is blatant discrimination against Hu Shao for being poor; it's like killing him by attacking his spirit!
Hu Jun's face immediately flushed red, feeling a burning sensation.
However, being a young master from a prominent family, he still possessed some self-restraint.
He took a deep breath and said calmly, "Sir, I was rash just now. However, this painting is something I must have today. Please give the Hu family some face, okay?"
"Your Hu family's face?" Lin Yu's lips curled into a cold smile. "Sorry, your Hu family has no face with me. If you don't bid, I'll take this painting!"
"you!"
Hu Jun's face turned extremely ugly. He hadn't expected that this kid would really not give him any face at all.
"Alright! Kid, I'd like to see just how many bastards you have to fight me for."
Hu Jun snorted and raised his hand again, indicating, "Five hundred million!"
Wow!
That's amazing!
Hu Shao is indeed rich and powerful, offering 500 million directly, clearly intending to provoke the other party!
Hu Jun's lips curled into a cold smile.
Five hundred million was the limit he could use. He originally had a budget of only one hundred million, and spending five hundred million still hurt him.
But now, for the sake of saving face, even five hundred million has to be spent!
Otherwise, where would the Hu family's reputation be? How would Young Master Hu face people in Guanzhong after this?
When this number came out, almost everyone thought that the young man should give up.
Even Lan Ling and her classmates thought so. After all, this guy's performance was already shocking enough. Did he really have to go down this path to the end?
However, to everyone's surprise, the young man raised his hand again and said in an unusually calm voice, "Ten billion!"
boom!
Everyone felt a buzzing in their heads.
Some people even thought they had misheard!
One billion!
sky!
A billion yuan, that's no small goal!
It's important to understand that even in the heart of the region, families capable of producing 1 billion yuan are extremely rare. Even some less wealthy families, when combined, don't amount to more than that.
However, it is truly astonishing that someone would offer such a large sum of money for a single painting!
Hu Jun's expression twitched, like a turtle.
Hu Shao has been making a living in the Guanzhong Plain; when has anyone ever humiliated him?
I've completely lost face today!
"Kid, you've got guts! But have you ever thought about what the consequences would be if you offended me inside the pass?"
At this moment, he completely lost his temper and actually made a threat in public.
He simply couldn't come up with a billion yuan in cash.
After all, he is the young master of the Hu family, and he has no say in the family property. Even if the Hu family could come up with the money, the elders in the family probably wouldn't allocate funds to him.
But if he sells some assets and grits his teeth, he can still come up with over a billion yuan.
However, he was afraid that if he raised the price again, Lin Yu would follow suit and raise the price as well!
Therefore, he could only resort to this kind of threat to make Lin Yu give up the bidding voluntarily!
Lin Yu was adept at reading people's minds, so he could naturally see through Hu Shao's thoughts. He couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "It seems that Hu Shao's funds are almost at their limit, right? How about this, I'll add another billion to completely put an end to this idea for you, how about that?"
After saying that, he raised his hand again, "Two billion!"
silence!
Everyone stared wide-eyed in disbelief.
Hu Jun was also completely numb!
Damn it, did I even bid?
Who would have thought there was such a thing? Adding a markup to oneself?
Is this guy some rich show-off?
But to be honest, this is quite embarrassing. At this moment, Young Master Hu is completely silent and doesn't make a sound at all!
Lan Ling, standing next to Lin Yu, was also at a loss for words.
Could it be that she misjudged the situation?
Is this guy really a rich second-generation?
Two billion!
It's almost half of the Lan family's fortune!
She couldn't imagine how big a heart this unassuming guy must have to be able to say that number without batting an eye!
"impossible!"
"That's absolutely impossible!"
Hu Shao has gone mad; he seems to have lost his mind.
Jealousy can completely change a person.
He completely lost his composure and, disregarding all decorum, immediately yelled at the host on stage, "I suspect this person is maliciously bidding. He doesn't have that much money at all. I demand verification of his funds!!"
