"55 million!" "58 million!" "60 million!" "63 million!" " 65 million!" As soon as the host finished speaking,people in the room started bidding in an intense manner, and the price also rose rapidly However, whenthe price rose to 80 million yuan, the speed slowed down, and there were fewer people who were stillbidding. After all, only a few people could afford that price, and only a few big bosses were left whocould continue with the auction. Right then, Old Mr Du, who had been silent all this while, finally raisedhis card. When he started to speak, he showed utmost confidence and he raised the price by tenmillion yuan in one go. "90 million!"he said. Hearing this, everyone was shocked, and their jawsdropped. They sighed in their hearts. The Buddhist treasure would probably belong to Old Mr Du thistime. In that instant, Shawn Liang smiled and raised his card, saying, "100 million!" This time, everyonewas in an uproar. Another rich person had added 10 million yuan. This type of competition stirred upthe excitement of the crowd. Old Mr Du glanced at Shawn and frowned. Yet, he raised his card onceagain. 105 million !"he said. Since he only had 20 million capital remaining, the speed of the priceincrement had also slowed down. Shawn then raised his card again, saying, "115 million! Old Du, whythe slow price increment? Don’t you have enough money? Haha!" Old Mr Du looked serious and feltthat things were getting complicated. He had thought that the 120 million yuan was definitely sufficient,yet he did not expect Shawn to be competing so closely with him. Old Mr Du started to panic. He didn’tknow how much money Shawn had. He also wasn’t sure if Shawn wanted to compete with him for thisBuddhist treasure, or if he just wanted to victimize him by raising the price. After hesitating for a while,Old Mr Du was determined and he finally set his eyes on the item. He said, "120 million." He was goingall-in with his funds. At the same time, he was using this momentum to scare Shawn, indicating to himthat he should not do anything ridiculous. Right then, Shawn heard the bid of 120 million. He wasstunned and was frightened by Old Mr Du’s determination. Just as Old Mr Du was feeling pleased,Shawn suddenly smirked and gazed at Old Mr Du. He shook his head and said, "Old Mr Du, it turns outthat 120 million yuan is all of your capital! With such a small sum of money, how can you compete withme for the Buddhist treasure ?" While speaking, Shawn raised his card again and said, "130 million."
Old Mr Du looked unhappy. He did not expect Shawn to actually know about his budget. He lookedeven more serious. With greater determination, Old Mr Du raised his card and said, "135 million!" Hehad spent 15 million yuan over his budget, and this would have been the maximum amount that Old MrDu could afford. However, Shawn was obviously well prepared. He raised the price again and said,"140 million yuan!" This time, Old Mr Du started shivering. He sat down with disappointment, shook hishead gently, and his arms began to tremble Shawn, with a victorious smile on his face, laughed andsaid, "Old Du, why don’t you continue with the bidding? Well then, I shall take this Buddhist treasure. Ifyou want to see it in the future, you can come to my house to see it! I am not that stingy, and I willdefinitely show it to you." Shawn also heaved a sigh of relief and he felt relaxed. Although his budgetwas much higher than Old Mr Du’s, it was still only 150 million yuan. The 140 million yuan price wasapproaching his limit. If Old Mr Du gave it another go, maybe Shawn would have to give up.Fortunately, Old Mr Du had given up, so he was safe right now. When the crowd heard the bid, theywere filled with envy and amazement." Host, Old Du has given up. You can start the count down now,"Shawn said with a smile on his face. The host was just about to count down, and right then, a faintvoice sounded," 150 million is my price!" Everyone was stunned and looked toward the source of thevoice. They were all outraged when they discovered the person who had raised his card was FadeChen. Shawn immediately snorted and yelled, "Host, he’s being completely ridiculous. How can apurveying specialist have 150 million yuan ? I strongly demand that the organization investigate hisright to bid in this auction." The surrounding crowd also nodded. Obviously, they did not believe thatFade could afford so much money. The host walked down and was about to say something. And justthen, Fade shook the card in his hand and said," I really don’t want to spend so much money to buythis item. But please look clearly, the card that I raised is not mine." The crowd was startled, and whenthey looked at the number on the card, they realized that Fade had raised Old Mr Du’s card. All of asudden, everyone’s jaw dropped, and they turned their focus to Old Mr Du. Old Mr Du looked at Fadehesitantly. Fade said softly," Don’t worry, Old Mr Du. I will get the Buddhist treasure for you." Looking atFade’s resolute and determined expression, Old Mr Du coughed and said, "Yes, this is my card. Iasked Fade to bid on the item on my behalf." Since it was Old Mr Du’s card, there was naturally nonovelbin
need to doubt the rights of the bidder. Therefore, the host retreated and looked at Shawn. Obviously,he was seeing if Shawn wanted to continue bidding. Shawn gazed at Fade and Old Mr Du,and he washesitant. They had offered 150 million yuan, which was the limit of his budget. If he continued to raisethe price, he would be over the limit of his budget. However, now that he had reached this point, hecould not give up so easily. Also, judging from the expression on Old Mr Du’s face, the funds heprepared should not be more than what he had. Shawn gritted his teeth and said," I ’ll pay 155 million."The two of them continued bidding once again, and everyone could not help but exclaim in surprise.Just as Shawn announced his bid, Fade’s card was raised again, and the same faint voice was heard,"160 million!" Shawn was shaken. His expression was gloomy and he seemed depressed. He shoutedfiercely, "165 million!" This time, before he could finish his words, Fade raised his card again and saidlightly, "170 million!" Shawn was on the verge of collapsing. This guy casually offered high prices. Hewas completely neglecting the value of money, treating money as though they just consisted of a fewpieces of paper. "You, you.." Shawn said. He glared at Fade furiously. Fade’s expression was calm. Hesaid softly, "Why, Chairman Liang, why don’t you continue to bid? Or, do you have no money left?"Shawn’s face fell, and then he shouted, "Yes I have run out of money. But I don’t believe that Jason Ducan fog out 170 million yuan just to bid for this Buddhist treasure. I request for an investigation of thebidding rights for him!".
