C254 Ants
Those who understood it would naturally understand, and those who didn't would think that the auction house had gone mad. There were even some who were confident that this item would be sold for a lot of money, turning into a joke.
"What Earth Spirit Root? Are you playing?" Wasn't it just a shriveled up old ginseng, 20 million? "In your dreams?"
"Hur hur, Jude is trying to smash their own signboard."
Ren Qianyuv looked around at the chattering crowd. He was in a good mood, it would be best if others didn't know him. This way, the competition would be less.
However, he had forgotten that he was sitting in the back of the ordinary area. The auction for the finale item was a battlefield for very few people.
"30 million!" At this moment, someone in the first row raised their hand. There was no lack of knowledgeable people in this world.
At the very least, there were capable people in the Jude Auction House who knew the value of this Earth Spirit Root. Otherwise, it would not be placed at the bottom of the list.
"Damn it!" "What's there to be afraid of!" Ren Qianyuv couldn't help but swear. Although he knew that this was the result, he still hoped that everyone wouldn't recognize the item and that he would immediately pick it up.
But now, it seemed that this hope had completely shattered.
"He even increased the bid by 10 million at one go. Are you crazy? Old Ma, who is this?"
Ma Ruloong scanned the area in front of him, turned around and looked at Ren Qianyuv with a strange look in his eyes: "Chen Guangnian, Chen Guangxi's nephew."
Ren Qianyuv was silent for a moment.
"And there's another person beside him, Pingjiang's Cao Xiaoqiang."
Ren Qianyuv frowned. Why was Cao Xiaoqiang here? And how did he get involved with Chen Guangxi's nephew?
"Whatever, buying this Earth Spirit Root is the most important thing."
Ren Qianyuv signaled Ma Ruloong to raise the plate, directly adding 10 million.
"40 million!"
An explosion.
Everyone nearby looked curiously at Ma Ruloong and guessed who he was.
Soon after, a few more people joined in. Their bid was one hundred million, so if they were to raise the bid any further, it wouldn't be worth it.
Ma Ruloong raised his card again: "110 million."
People in the front row turned around from time to time and looked curiously at Ma Ruloong.
Ma Ruloong had been in the Sheep City for so many years, and was pretty famous. His identity was quickly revealed, and even Ren Qianyuv's identity was exposed.
Cao Xiaoqiang, who was in front of him, looked back at Ren Qianyuv, who sat as still as a mountain, and then bent over and whispered something in Chen Guangnian's ear.
The auctioneer's face turned red. The price of the Earth Spirit Root had already far exceeded her expectations. The higher the price of the Earth Spirit Root, the more commission she would get.
"130 million."
There are a lot of rich people in Sheep City, so this time, there's someone else bidding. Ren Qianyuv's face darkened as he let Ma Ruloong bid for the last time.
"One hundred fifty million."
Ma Ruloong caused a commotion again and everyone clicked their tongues in wonder.
The auctioneer's voice was trembling when he made the bid. One could imagine how excited he was.
The auction fell into a brief silence. The price was simply too high, many people were no longer willing to raise their names, it was not worth it.
Just when the host raised his hammer a second time, the corners of Ren Qianyuv's mouth curled up. When he thought that victory was within his grasp, someone raised his card once again!
"200 million!"
It was Cao Xiaoqiang's card. After announcing the price, he intentionally glanced in the direction where Ren Qianyuv was sitting with disdain.
Ren Qianyuv closed his eyes.
Ma Ruloong asked: "Godly Doctor, are we still going to follow?"
Ren Qianyuv shook his hand, indicating that he should forget about it.
"There's no point. That Chen Guangnian is hostile towards us. Continuing to raise the price would benefit the auction house."
After a moment of silence, he continued, "Call Chen Guangxi and ask him. What does his nephew mean?"
With that, Ren Qianyuv stood up angrily and did not continue to stay. He had endured for so long and finally returned empty-handed. Anyone else would have died from anger.
Moreover, the location of the Earth Spirit Root was related to Xixi's illness, so he would not give way. When he left, a hint of sternness flashed across Ren Qianyuv's eyes.
The two of them walked out of the auction house and stood at the entrance with dark expressions on their faces.
"What did Chen Guangxi say?"
"A secretary beside Director Chen answered the call. Chen Guangxi is having an important video conference right now. If he's in a hurry, he can go inform Director Chen."
Ren Qianyuv hesitated slightly and said, "Then we won't disturb him for now."
"However, I must obtain the Earth Spirit Root. Let's go back first!"
Who knew that the moment Ren Qianyuv finished, he was surrounded by a group of people.
"Mr. Ren, be careful!" Ma Ruloong subconsciously stood up and protected Liu Tie behind him.
When the passersby at the auction house entrance saw the group of bodyguards and thugs, their faces were full of fear.
Not only that, under the layers of encirclement, those people opened up a path for him. The person in the lead was a young man.
0
This young man was probably in his twenties at the most. He was wearing a white suit which made him stand out under the group of men in black suits.
Ma Ruloong whispered, "Mr. Ren, he's Chen Guangnian."
"Brat, you want to run after raising your father's price? Aren't you looking down on me too much?"
Chen Guangnian looked at Ren Qianyuv with disdain as if he was looking at a small ant.
"What, I don't dare to say anything? I'm scared, I won't bully you, this Earth Spirit Root cost me 200 million, you guys can take half of it. How about it? I'm loyal enough, right?"
