Chapter 346: Money is just a number
Time flew by, and it was ten past eight in the evening.
As each item came up for auction, except for a painting and calligraphy, starting at a bid of five lakhs, none of them managed to attract any bidders. Consequently, all the items were sold out.
On the auction stage, Li Qian picked up the level on the speech stage, drank two big sips of water, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and continued to speak excitedly, “The treasure that will be auctioned next is amazing. I believe there is nothing you don’t like, ladies present.”
“The next item to be auctioned is a pair of pink diamond earrings.”
Following Li Qian’s voice, a pair of pink diamond earrings appeared on the big screen. There was also a ring of small diamonds around it. They were crystal clear, giving one the feeling of being a belling spirit.
The earrings Chu Tian decided to give it to Li Sisi.
Seeing this, Chu Tian couldn’t help but look at Li Sisi with a smile and say, “I’ll go. After sitting for more than an hour, I can finally make a move. I’m almost bored to death.”
Li Sisi smiled, pouted, and said, “Chu Tian, why don’t you buy it? I really don’t need this stuff.”
“That won’t work.” Chu Tian said, “I’ve been sitting here for more than an hour. If I don’t exercise, my body should be stiff.”
Li Sisi smiled and said, “You can exercise by holding a card?”
“I can exercise more or less.” Chu Tian said seriously, “Anyway, it’s better than doing nothing, right?”
Li Sisi smiled and pouted but didn’t say anything.
At this time, Li Qian on the stage had already finished its introduction and said, “The starting price is 8 million. Every time a bid is raised, the price will be increased by one lakh. Next, start the auction.”
As the bidding started, many people in the arena raised their bidding cards one after another.
“8.1 million!”
“8.2 million!”
“8.3 million!”
“10.5 million!”
In less than two minutes, the bidding for this pair of pink diamond earrings went directly from 8 million to 10.5 million.
Moreover, the price was still rising but not so intense, and many people had given up.
“10.6 million!”
“10.7 million!”
“12.1 million!”
Five minutes later, the price of the pair of pink diamond earrings directly reached 12.1 million.
Moreover, at this time, there were only two bids left.
There were two men and a young and beautiful woman sitting beside them. There was even a faint feeling that the two families were fighting, and no one would accept the other.
Li Sisi whispered: “Little Tian, listen to me; don’t buy it. The starting price of 8 million has now reached 12.1 million. This price is not suitable anymore, so don’t make a move.”
Chu Tian looked at the two men and said, “Damn it, they’ve been bidding for ten minutes for a pair of earrings. If the bidding keeps going up in increments of one lakh, who knows how long it will take? How about this, sister? I’ll place a bid once.”
Li Sisi nodded and said with a smile: “Seeing that you are suffering so much, it’s okay. Then you can lift it.”
Chu Tian picked up the bidding card, raised it directly, and shouted: “20 million!”
Brush!
Hearing Chu Tian’s voice, everyone in the venue swiped to look over.
Was this guy crazy?
12.1 million for a direct bid of 20 million?
This was a drop of 7.9 million.
What was wrong with him?
Even Li Sisi, beside him, couldn’t help but widen her eyes at this moment. Li Sisi said innocently: “Chu Tian, you are crazy, I asked you to raise a sign, but I didn’t ask you to bid.”
Chu Tian chuckled and remarked, “There is a faint urgency to urinate. These two guys are way too stubborn. They’re squabbling like little kittens. When the two of them decide on the winner, my bladder will burst.”
“I…” Li Sisi looked at Chu Tian speechlessly and said, “Then you go to the toilet quickly, hurry up, don’t hold back.”
“No, Hurry.” Chu Tian smiled, “This is not a problem for a while. I have to buy that watch to go again.”
“You… don’t hold back.” Li Sisi frowned and said, “It only takes six or seven minutes to go to the toilet, and there is no delay.”
“It’s okay.” Chu Tian said, “I can still bear it.”
Li Qian looked at Chu Tian and said excitedly, “20 million! The boss with the number 253 directly asked for 20 million. Is there anything higher than 20 million?”
In the venue, there was pin-drop silence.
Who the hell is playing?
Double kill!
From 12.1 million, it jumped directly to 20 million. It’s still a woolen bid. Even those two people couldn’t make a move.
Li Qian also understood very well. Looking at the situation, he knew that no one was bidding, so he counted down: “20 million once!”
“20 million twice!”
“20 million three times, deal!”
“Congratulations to the owner of the number 253 for successfully bidding on this treasure for 20 million!”
When Li Qian announced the result, Chu Tian couldn’t help smiling at Li Sisi and said, “Sister, do you like it?”
Li Sisi chuckled, then pinched Chu Tian and said, “Why are you so flirtatious? Do you know how much it cost?”
“Hey, there’s no need to spend too much here.” Chu Tian said, “As long as you like it, sister, it’s just money. They’re just numbers, after all.”
Looking at Chu Tian’s smug look, Li Sisi smiled and rolled her eyes at Chu Tian.
