The moment this item appeared, Old Wang's mouth curved into a smile of unknown meaning, as if he was greatly enjoying the show."Little Friend Su, what do you think of this item?" Although Old Wang immediately saw through the trick with this item, he still wanted to test Su Yun."Haha, a work by the great calligrapher Wang Duo, if it's genuine, it would naturally be priceless. But if the calligraphy is by someone else, and the seal is Wang Duo's, then it wouldn't be worth that much.""And the auctioneer said the starting price is 200,000, which already explains everything."Su Yun said slowly.Old Wang nodded in strong agreement and appreciation, expressing his full concurrence. The three appraisal experts in front also heard what Su Yun said and cast admiring glances his way.Meanwhile, Li Wei became instantly excited when he saw this piece, because his family's Old Master loved calligraphy above all else.And at the birthday banquet, presenting such a work of 'longevity like southern mountain' would truly be a wonderful thing!That way, would he still fear failing to win the Old Master's favor?"Brother Hu, is this Wang Duo very famous in the calligraphy world?" Li Wei asked.Brother Hu scratched his head. Although he didn't know, he couldn't lose face: "Naturally, anyone who can make it into a Sotheby's auction certainly isn't a person with an undeserved reputation.""Then why is the starting price so low? Only 200,000, but this is also a good thing," Li Wei said with a smile."It might be Sotheby's way of giving back to buyers. Every year, they find a few pieces to auction at a low price to reward their customers. Today, you've really found a bargain," Brother Hu also said with a smile."So that's it. This piece, it seems, will be mine at a low price..." Li Wei said confidently."Starting now, Wang Duo's sealed calligraphy work, 'longevity like southern mountain', starting price 200,000, each bid no less than 50,000!" As the auctioneer's voice fell, item number ten began to be auctioned!But surprisingly, although the price of this item was low, it did not trigger a scramble among the crowd. It seemed everyone was skeptical of this piece.Su Yun looked around and found that no one was paying attention to this item. Everyone was an expert; even if they couldn't see through the trick inside, they could still tell from the surface."This piece is probably going to go unsold..." Old Wang judged from the side.Seeing that no one was bidding, Li Wei also became excited and quickly raised a paddle: 250,000!The auctioneer was also a bit anxious. If this piece didn't sell today, it would probably be difficult in the future. This item wasn't anything great to begin with; as long as it sold, that was fine, and there was no expectation of making a profit.Now, seeing an ignorant person bid 250,000, she was also very happy and gave Li Wei a friendly smile."Good, this gentleman ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) has bid 250,000, very discerning!"As these words fell, several people in the auction house also covered their mouths and chuckled.Li Wei saw the auctioneer smile at him and praise him publicly, and his heart blossomed with joy, feeling that the auctioneer was interested in him... "250,000, going once...""Are there any more bids?""250,000, going twice!"As the auctioneer spoke in an orderly manner, Li Wei's heart gradually became excited and nervous. If he could buy this piece with just one bid, he could truly boast about it for a lifetime!Just as Li Wei was about to stand up to receive applause from everyone, he suddenly saw the auctioneer stop her movements!"250,000, going thir...""This is... someone is bidding..." The auctioneer was startled. She knew Old Wang, and the young man beside Old Wang had actually raised his paddle!This made her feel incredibly unbelievable, because she had heard from the three appraisal experts that the young man was the collector of Tang Bohu's genuine work, and a person with extremely strong discernment. Why would he bid such a high price?"A full million!""This gentleman has bid a full million for Wang Duo's sealed calligraphy work!" Although the auctioneer didn't know why Su Yun was doing this, she still quickly reported it.At this moment, everyone present turned their gaze to Su Yun. Spending a million to buy a piece that couldn't even be considered genuine was truly unwise.Most collectors would rather bid higher for a genuine article than buy something of questionable authenticity at a low price. Once you buy such a thing, your reputation and all aspects will completely collapse.There was confusion in everyone's eyes, and a hint of mockery."Su Yun, didn't Old Wang just say this thing..." Bai Qian also felt very confused when she saw Su Yun raise his paddle."Little Su, what do you mean by this? You just asked me if you could raise your paddle, was it for this item?""This thing isn't worth bidding on!" Old Wang's expression was very puzzled."Little Friend Su, with your discernment, it shouldn't be like this. What are you..." Old Han turned around and asked doubtfully."It's nothing, I'm just bidding for fun, to raise the price. Otherwise, if the price is too low, it wouldn't look good..." Su Yun said with a smile."I'm warning you, if the price goes too high, no one will buy it, and then you'll have to take it..." Old Han reminded him."Hmm, someone will buy it. If no one buys it, I will naturally pay..." After Su Yun finished speaking, although the others were helpless, they could do nothing."Wang Duo's sealed calligraphy work, one million!" the auctioneer continued.At this moment, Li Wei's brain was buzzing. He didn't know who was so wicked as to raise the price directly to one million. Wasn't this deliberately tripping him up?Li Wei subconsciously looked at Su Yun and indeed saw Su Yun raising his paddle!Suddenly, Li Wei was filled with rage, feeling an unprecedented anger towards Su Yun!"Alright, this kid also has his eyes on this treasure, and he's raising the price so much, truly...""But you think you can take it just by bidding a million? You're too naive..."Li Wei said with anger in his eyes."One million, going once!" the auctioneer said, looking around.At this point, everyone thought that this item would soon be acquired by Su Yun for a million, as no expert would bid a single extra cent... As the auctioneer raised her hammer, a figure suddenly stood up!Su Yun turned his head and saw that it was indeed Li Wei. This kid really couldn't hold back!"Heh heh, what's a million!""I, Li Wei, am determined to get this piece. I'll bid two million directly!"As these words came out, the entire venue was shocked. Everyone cast their gazes, like looking at an idiot, their eyes filled with utter incomprehension...
