"28 million!"
"30 million!"
"35 million."
After hearing the moustache man shout again, Zuo Bingzhen and Elder Xu's expressions were very ugly.
Even if she and Elder Xu's money were added together, plus the 30 million limit given by the dojo when they came out, it would only be a total of 40 million.
And now, the moustache man had already shouted 35 million RMB, and he looked very relaxed, as if he was at ease.
This put a lot of pressure on Zuo Bingzhen, but now that she had already bid for this price, she was really unwilling to give up.
However, she turned around and looked at Elder Xu's silver hair. She really didn't want to use Elder Xu's money to buy a house.
Originally, she had planned to use her own money, plus the 30 million yuan quota in the museum, to buy any zodiac with 35 million yuan!
But who would have thought that the Antiques Association would be so ruthless!
Looking at Zuo Bingzhen's struggling face, the moustache man smiled proudly, revealing a mocking expression.
"If you can't afford it, then don't pretend to be a big wolf. Looking at you, you probably bet on the house, right?”
Hearing the moustache man's words, Zuo Bingzhen's small face could not help but turn red. She instantly stood up and glared at the moustache man, ready to shout the final bid.
However, when she saw the gazes of everyone present, some were filled with pity, some were gloating, and some were looking at her coldly. When she saw Elder Xu sitting beside her, who was extremely angry and ready to go all out, Zuo Bingzhen sighed in her heart and calmed down.
"Elder Xu, let's give up."
"Good! I don't believe it…What?”Elder Xu was stunned.
"Why did you give up? We can bet again!”Elder Xu said anxiously.
Things had already come to this point. He was really unwilling to give up. Even if it was just a slight chance, he wanted to fight for it.
If he didn't manage to capture it this time, Xu Yin might not be able to see the snake head return to the country for the rest of his life.
Looking at Elder Xu's indignant expression, Zuo Bingzhen also felt very uncomfortable.
She also wanted to bid for the snake head and bring back the cultural relics that had been stranded overseas for decades. However, she really could not bear to use Elder Xu's money. Who would want to touch the money that an old man used to buy a house for his son?
Moreover, even if she shouted again, she might not be able to get it. Today's auction was too strange. It was so strange that she felt that the Antique Association had no intention of selling it to her.
Actually, she wasn't the only one who thought this way. The people in the hall on the first floor couldn't help but mutter in their hearts. When they saw the moustache next to Zuo Bingzhen at the beginning of the auction, they felt that there was going to be a good show.
As expected, the auction was targeted everywhere, and the price was raised to 35 million!
One had to know that other than the special significance of the twelve zodiacs to the Dragon Country, the market price overseas was at most 10 million yuan.
Logically speaking, the sky-high price of 35 million was already several times the premium, and Zuo Bingzhen did not seem to be able to continue bidding. At this time, it was the best choice to stop in time and let Zuo Bingzhen bid.
However, the Antique Association still refused to let go. It was really strange. It was impossible for the Antique Association not to want to sell it. Other than the people from the Dragon Country, it was impossible for the snake head to be auctioned off for 35 million.
Moreover, if the news of whether Zuo Bingzhen had won the snake head at the auction today spread, it would definitely disgust the collectors of the Dragon Country.
If Zuo Bingzhen hadn't won the snake head today, the Antique Association would have suffered a huge loss.
Even the moustache man was a little confused. It was obvious that letting Zuo Bingzhen pay a huge price to bid for it was the best outcome.
Seeing that Zuo Bingzhen had already given up and the snake head was about to fall into his hands, he could not help but ask.
"Boss is playing too much.”
While the moustache man was sweating profusely and waiting to be scolded, he suddenly heard a voice in his earpiece.
"Who said you blew up?"
"This is just the beginning."
"Remember, if I don't let you stop bidding, you're not allowed to stop!”
"Yes, yes, yes!"
When he heard that there was no sound from the headset, the man with the moustache was dumbfounded. He really did not know who would bid such a high price, especially since there were only two people from the Dragon Country in the hall.
The thought of him having to fight with the air made him feel a headache.
"The first time!"
"The second time!"
Hearing the auctioneer's voice twice, Zuo Bingzhen bit her lip tightly. Looking at Elder Xu's pleading face, she hardened her heart and closed her eyes, no longer looking at the snake head on the auction.
She would never use the money Elder Xu gave her son to buy a house.
"Third…"
"40 million."
"What?!" Zuo Bingzhen suddenly widened her eyes.
Everyone present was stunned. They did not expect someone to make a move just as the snakehead was about to be abandoned!
"The person in the VIP room on the second floor has finally made his move.”The voice in the mustached man's ear said happily.
"Remember, if I don't let you stop, don't stop!”
The people in the hall on the first floor also realized that it was actually the VIP room on the second floor who had made a move.
When they turned around and thought about it, everyone came to a realization.
To be able to sit on the second floor, there was a condition.
That was to hold 100 million in cash!
The people in the lobby on the first floor were curiously sizing up the big shot in the private room on the second floor.
Xuan laughed coldly in the room.
At the beginning, when he saw the snake head appear, he knew that there would definitely be a pig slaughtering bureau targeting the Dragon Country today.
Later, just as he was about to make a move, who knew that Zuo Bingzhen would take the initiative to make a move, so he had been holding back and did not make a move.
This was because he did not know much about antiques and was not very interested in them. If it was not for the great significance of the snake head, he might not have made a move.
Therefore, he had been watching Zuo Bingzhen compete with the moustache guy.
However, he did not expect that an antique that was only worth 10 million on the market would be raised to 35 million.
Furthermore, when Zuo Bingzhen clearly did not have more financial resources to bid, she was still biting on and not letting go.
At that time, Xuan understood that Zuo Bingzhen was just a little piglet in today's slaughter. He was the real pig!
After understanding, Xuan wanted to slam the door and leave.
However, as a patriotic youth who had received nine years of compulsory education and was a young pioneer wearing a red scarf, how could he endure it?
Hence, the scene in front of him had happened.
"Which big shot is this? 40 million to buy a water clock?”A Russian warrior said in shock.
"The world of the rich is really unimaginable!”The beautiful woman with bright red lipstick on her body was also surprised when she heard the price.
She was also a well-known internet celebrity with millions of fans on foreign Youtube. She had thought that she was proud of her net worth of half a billion yuan in a year.
However, he didn't expect that it wouldn't even be enough to buy an antique.
"Is it one of our own?" Zuo Bingzhen asked nervously.
"Impossible." Elder Xu shook his head and said," The country only sent us here. We have 30 million yuan in our hands. It's almost certain that we can buy the snake head. The museum doesn't have any other considerations at all."”
"Make a bid! What are you waiting for!"
The moustache man heard the roar coming from the headset and reacted quickly.
"45 million!"
"What?!"
"Has the Antique Association gone crazy? You can't kill a pig like this."
When the people present saw that the moustache man continued to bid, they all lowered their prices in low voices.
This was not the first time some people had participated in an auction organized by the Antiques Association, so they had long known the Antiques Association's personality.
However, he still felt that this was not the way to kill a pig. The Antique Association's appetite was too big this time.
"I heard that the Antique Association has lost more than one billion yuan in the stock market recently.”
"The Antiques Association has a market value of at least tens of billions. A billion yuan shouldn't be enough to seriously damage the Antiques Association, right?”
"Who knows? But he must be trying to earn back the money he lost, right?”
"No matter what, the Antique Association is a bit of a disgrace this time.”
"That's for sure. The Dragon Country has always repaid kindness with revenge. Look at that beauty from the Dragon Country. She's still angry.”
"It's not just the people of the Dragon Country. I'm afraid the VIPs in the private rooms on the second floor are also uncomfortable.”
The people in the hall began to discuss in low voices. Even Zuo Bingzhen was a little puzzled when she heard the discussions of the people around her.
In the antique industry, the most important thing was reputation. Once there was no reputation, those antique sellers wouldn't dare to auction the antiques, and collectors wouldn't be able to buy enough. At that time, even the current market value of tens of billions would instantly collapse.
If everyone in the hall could understand such an obvious thing, how could the Antique Association not?
Even Xuan was a little confused. He didn't know how he had offended the Antique Association. He had never bought an antique before!
Although he didn't understand, he wouldn't admit defeat.
At most, he could just continue bidding. He did not believe that the Antique Association would dare to accept the bid if the price was too high!
"50 million," Xuan said faintly.
"Continue." A voice came from the moustache earpiece.
The man with the moustache quickly shouted,"55 million!"
"60 million!"
"Continue!"
"65 million!"
"70 million!"
"Continue!"
" 75 million!" The moustache man shouted with sweat all over his face.
The people present looked at the moustache man who was bidding higher and higher, but he did not look happy at all. Instead, his body was covered in sweat and even slightly trembling.
"80 million!"
When this sentence came from the private room on the second floor, it was filled with a cold voice.
The earpiece in the moustache did not speak for a long time, and the people in the hall did not even dare to breathe loudly. God knew how excited they were!
An antique that was worth less than 10 million yuan had increased by eight times!
At this time, it seemed that the person behind the moustache man was also shocked by this price. He did not continue bidding for a while.
Just as everyone was looking at the moustache.
The moustache man could not help but swallow his saliva and asked carefully.
"Boss…are we still going to continue?”
After about ten seconds, a voice came from the earpiece.
"Stop."
"First time"
"The second time."
"The third time!"
Boom!
When they heard that the snake head of the twelve zodiacs had finally fallen into Xuan's hands, everyone present was in an uproar.
Xuan, who was in the room on the second floor, saw the snakehead fall into his hands and only laughed coldly, his eyes filled with coldness.
He had spent eight times the price of the 10 million snake head and 80 million to buy it. It would be strange if he was happy!
