"King Wu Sword! The base price is 6 million, and each increase in price must be no less than 1 million!"
"10 million!" This was the price Ling Jierui asked.
"15 million!" Lin Han bid again.
Although Lin Han once again suppressed Ling Jierui, Ling Jierui did not react at all this time. He was not angry, not furious, and did not shout.
Others seemed to think that he had accepted the fact and didn't want to fight with Lin Han anymore, but that was not the case.
He was thinking about one thing, and he swore to make Lin Han regret offending him!
The next dozen or so exhibits were also sold one after another. Lin Han basically bought all the items that Ling Jierui had bid for by increasing the price.
After taking the photo of the last exhibit, Ling Jierui couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, put down the mobile phone with the calculator turned on, stood up, and shouted to the people around him:
"I have a question. Who exactly is Lin Han? If you count the things Lin Han just bought, it would be more than 100 million. Tell me, who is he?"
After he said this, the others suddenly realized that, indeed, the items Lin Han had bought were worth more than 100 million, and were even close to 200 million. But the question was where did he get so much money?
There were some people present, but they were certainly reluctant to pay, and Lin Han raised the price without hesitation every time, as if those people were insignificant.
Such a person must be a big shot at least, or he must have a rich father like Ling Jierui.
It is impossible for these people not to know such a big shot, but they only know that Lin Han is an ordinary treasure appraiser. How many years does it take for a treasure appraiser to earn so much money?
"It seems that everyone finds this as incredible as I do. But I need to ask the people at the auction house. Have you really checked Lin Han and confirmed that he really has that much money?"
Ling Jierui looked at the host with a gloomy face and asked.
The host could see that Ling Jierui was trying to make things difficult for Lin Han, and he also expected that Ling Jierui would direct his criticism at him next, so he was naturally unhappy.
But this difficult question was not difficult for him to answer.
"Mr. Lin doesn't have that much money."
He told the truth, and this truth was undoubtedly shocking.
Everyone present was stunned, dumbfounded, looking at Lin Han in disbelief, and then looked at the host.
This auction house is the largest in Jinqiu Province and has the best reputation. But they are colluding with their customers?
It’s not like there haven’t been cases where an auction house hired someone to make malicious bids, and many of their auction houses charge a handling fee.
But those are stupid things that only a small auction house would do. This auction house has become so big and has built up a reputation over the years, there is no need for it to do such things!
Moreover, the person they hired was too unskillful. They actually hired someone like Lin Han who obviously didn't have much money. They should have hired someone well-known and famous to be their agent, right?
Moreover, Lin Han's bidding was too casual and too high. Others did not dare to follow him. He was not a qualified agent at all. Wasn't he making their auction house lose money?
"The auction house and the customers are colluding to cheat other customers out of their money. Your auction house really knows how to make money!"
Ling Jieri once again mocked Lin Han and the host in a sarcastic tone.
This was actually what he planned.
He originally wanted Lin Han to spend more money on a bunch of exhibits, and then calculate the final price to shock everyone, and at the same time let the auction house check how much money Lin Han had.
Since the auction house has already confirmed how much money Lin Han has in advance, they will definitely be able to give an answer immediately. Even if they say yes, they can force Lin Han to pay.
If it is found that there is nothing, the auction house is lying, and the people in the auction house are also aware of this. Instead of being caught in the end, it is better to confess directly.
This was also within his expectations. Lin Han really did not have that much money. Everything was just Lin Han's bluffing and malicious bidding.
"That's not the case! What I said before is true. Lin Han does have the funds to buy the Brocade Painting of Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix." The host sighed helplessly and defended.
"Even if there is, it would only be enough to buy the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, right? What about the others? If you don't say anything, doesn't that mean you are sure that Lin Han can buy the other things?
It has nothing to do with whether you asked or not. You tacitly allowed Lin Han to do this. Your auction house should not try to distance itself from the matter."
Ling Jierui had no intention of letting the auction house go, and he kept on scolding loudly.
At this time, Lin Han stood up.
He nodded slightly, not denying what Ling Jierui said:
"I really only have the money to buy the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. I don't have money to buy other things, but that doesn't mean I can't buy them."
However, when these words were spoken, everyone was stunned, and Ling Jierui even sneered.
"Humph, this is totally irrelevant. How can you buy it if you don't have money? Are you trying to fool us?"
Lin Han’s words were indeed contradictory. Of course, you can’t buy it if you don’t have money. But this is under the premise that Lin Han is buying other people’s things!
"I'm buying my own stuff, so it doesn't matter how much I spend, right? I didn't raise the price maliciously to get you to buy it. I raised the price myself, and in the end, I bought it myself."
Lin Han sighed, shrugged and explained,
Why did they think Lin Han deliberately offered a price that they couldn't afford? That was to prevent them from buying it, and he wanted to buy it himself.
"Your stuff? Are you kidding? Those things are all yours?"
Ling Jierui was very surprised, but he immediately remembered that the Wang family's housekeeper had just told him that Lin Han had robbed the Wang family's treasure.
He thought that he was just bragging and didn't want to tell him what Lin Han had done to them.
But now, if Lin Han is not lying, then it is true!
Lin Han really stole a lot of valuable things from the Wang family!
At this time, everyone present looked at the host, and the host nodded helplessly.
"Well, those things were asked by Mr. Lin to be auctioned by us, so he is free to decide how much he wants to pay for them."
"But...but isn't this against the rules? Buying the things you sell yourself?"
"Isn't this forbidden?"
…
Everyone couldn't understand it, this was clearly a foul.
The host shook his head again and explained, "No, it is forbidden to bid maliciously to make others spend more money to buy his things. It is not forbidden to buy them yourself."
There is a difference between the two. The former is malicious bidding, causing losses to others, while the latter will only cause losses to oneself.
Because consignment sales require a handling fee, their handling fee is 5%, which means that if Lin Han pays 10 million, he will have to pay them 500,000 in handling fees.
