Chapter 308 Broken
His words were miserable, but no one present would fill this hole for him.
It was as if some kind of switch was touched. Lu Jingyao was willing to take over, and others shared the same opinion.
However, an old man said in a deep voice: "I have always warned you not to do anything that you would regret because of your own momentary likes and dislikes."
When the young buyer heard this, he lowered his head in shame.
Finally, the old man made the final decision: "Let's buy this calligraphy."
The young buyer immediately became anxious: "Grandpa, this is 2.1 billion..."
His grandfather glared at him and said, "If it weren't for so much money, would you have learned your lesson?"
The conversation between the grandfather and grandson was heard by many people present. It was not known whether it was because of these words or because the treasure had already been auctioned off, but the next three items were sold smoothly.
The fourth item for auction was the golden nanmu box that Xu Youyou had her eyes on.
In order to avoid being accused of buying the box and returning the pearl, the auction item was sold together with the box and the items inside.
Although golden nanmu is valuable, it is really nothing to the people present. Together with several jade pieces inside, they were eventually sold for 30 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xu Youyou felt relieved when she saw that it was the person arranged by Lu Jingyao who took the hammer and bought the item.
She was completely appreciative of the subsequent auctions, and the atmosphere gradually became heated up until the Ru kiln celadon washbasin was put on the auction block.
Obviously, there were many people who were interested in this treasure. The middle-aged man who had wanted to get Xu Youyou's appraisal for free was now particularly determined. He raised his hand and bid several times in a row, and he was determined to hold on.
The person he was biting was not someone else, but Gu Fengchuan.
After several rounds of price increases, Gu Fengchuan became a little hesitant.
"Brother, isn't it inappropriate for us to snatch Xu Youyou's things like this? Why don't we just forget it?" Gu Xueying said softly.
She always knows how to stimulate Gu Fengchuan.
Sure enough, after hearing what his sister said, Gu Fengchuan raised the price again.
"Our family has not had a good time over the past year, all because of Xu Youyou. If she hadn't interfered, Star Diamond wouldn't have collapsed, and Lu Jingyao and Xie Ran wouldn't have suppressed our family so much. We must not let her get her wish this time. Sister, don't feel any psychological pressure. After all, we were going to buy a piece of fine porcelain to give to the Dragon King." Gu Fengchuan said.
Gu Xueying responded with a worried look on her face. She looked up and happened to see Xu Youyou, who was sitting next to her, whispering something in Lu Jingyao's ear.
The next moment, Lu Jingyao took a fancy to the middle-aged man who had been bargaining with them.
And the middle-aged man just gave the latest offer.
Gu Xueying watched them talking back and forth. Xu Youyou, who always loved to cause trouble for them, did not raise the price this time. This made Gu Xueying more and more certain that this Ru kiln porcelain was what Xu Youyou wanted, and that the unfamiliar middle-aged man was Xu Youyou's shill.
As these two people raised the price, the price of this Ru kiln porcelain directly reached 500 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xu Youyou leaned close to Lu Jingyao's ear and didn't say anything else, just asked Lu Jingyao if he knew the middle-aged man.
Lu Jingyao had a good memory: "That was Mr. Wang who was doing real estate business in the capital. In the early years, his company had a lot of labor disputes. It was considered a risky enterprise, so no one wanted to cooperate with him in recent years."
Xu Youyou recalled that Mr. Wang's working style was indeed quite disliked.
If it were usual, Xu Youyou would probably be happy to raise the price, but after what happened with the "Lanting Preface", she was also afraid that she, the one who raised the price, would end up being the one who took the offer. After all, she didn't really want to buy this Ru kiln porcelain.
She didn't know that her action of not raising the price was interpreted differently by Gu Xueying. She couldn't help but sigh to Lu Jingyao: "The Gu family really likes porcelain. Every time I meet them at an auction, they are desperately buying porcelain."
In the previous life, the Gu family never brought Xu Youyou with them when they attended top auctions. Given Xu Youyou's marginal status in the Gu family, she had no idea what treasures they bought, so she couldn't figure out whether she had loved porcelain as much in her previous life.
In the end, this Ru kiln celadon washbasin was sold for HK$780 million, and the buyer was Gu Fengchuan.
After the photos were taken, Gu Fengchuan still felt it was unreal. He couldn't help but say to Gu Xueying, "Xu Youyou has sufficient funds, why doesn't she let her people continue to follow?"
He would never admit that he was the one taking over.
Gu Xueying said quickly: "Having sufficient funds doesn't mean she's willing to spend so much money. Children from an orphanage are bound to be timid when doing things, or maybe she wants to maintain a good image in front of Lu Jingyao."
Gu Fengchuan said nothing more.
Until the end of the auction, Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao did not make any more bids. They both looked like they were just there for fun.
When it was time to pay and pick up the auction items, the brother and sister ran into Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao again.
Xu Youyou said casually: "It's a big deal. Most people wouldn't be willing to spend so much money to buy a celadon glaze washbasin."
When Gu Fengchuan heard this, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
"Did you deliberately ask someone to raise the price with me?" Gu Fengchuan asked.
Although Xu Youyou felt puzzled, she still deliberately showed a smug expression and said, "You are still so easy to fool."
Hearing her say this, Gu Fengchuan wished he could eat her alive.
Lu Jingyao quickly stood in front of Xu Youyou and said, "Mr. Gu, no one forced you to bid."
Gu Fengchuan gnashed his teeth, looked at the two of them for a moment, and said viciously: "Okay, very good! Xu Youyou, you personally forced us to be your enemy."
When Xu Youyou heard this, she just wanted to laugh. The Gu family had said too many harsh words to her, but only a few of them had any real impact.
Just at this moment, someone brought the golden nanmu box to Xu Youyou.
As Xu Youyou got the treasure, the system's task completion settlement sound rang in her ears.
Gu Fengchuan was hit again: "Is this what you really want to buy? You deliberately let your assistant talk to that Wang guy to divert attention!"
Although Xu Youyou didn't remember arranging the conversation between Liu Xiangyi and the man surnamed Wang, she still accepted it. After all, Gu Fengchuan's angry expression at this moment really made her happy.
Gu Fengchuan was unable to continue causing trouble for Xu Youyou because he was in new trouble.
He paid more than 700 million Hong Kong dollars and received a Ru kiln porcelain in complete packaging. He inspected the goods on the spot and did not find any problems.
But when his car arrived at the hotel and he carefully took down the treasure, he felt like he was broken into pieces after just one look at it.
"Impossible! It was fine before, how could it break?"
