Chapter 137 The giant snail sold for a sky-high price
The two entered the auction house. Huo Manshu casually took out a plate from the illustrated book and threw it to the appraiser: "I want to auction this today."
Seeing how casually Homanshu was doing this, the auctioneer thought he was just a bargain. He looked at it with a perfunctory attitude, and his mouth suddenly opened in surprise: "Here, how much do you want to sell it for? This is a bit like A treasure from the Middle Ages."
The old master's expression became serious. He used various instruments to check and appraise it, and he was almost ready to put himself into the plate.
Huo Manshu groaned and glanced at the plate casually. It seemed to be a plate she took out from the copy of the medieval town.
"I'll leave it to you, I don't care about that."
Huo Manshu didn't come here to sell these things. It was just a matter of convenience, because she would take Li Ting into the venue later and needed an admission qualification.
"Then let's set the starting price at 50 million first?"
The old master was shaking a little when he spoke, and he was afraid of breaking the small plate while holding it.
He was already certain that this was the kind of tableware used by nobles in the Middle Ages. There were almost no dishes in this perfect condition on the market.
He looked at Huo Manshu as if he were looking at a lady who was inexperienced in the world.
He was convinced in his heart that Huo Manshu had stolen the plate from home.
But even if it was stolen, it has nothing to do with him. Anyway, once the contract is signed, it has nothing to do with them.
Huo Manshu didn't care about this. Although she was a little surprised by the value of this plate, she was not too surprised. After all, if it was really said, she didn't even ask for the 100 million that Lao Tan and his wife still owed her.
Originally, the organizer of the auction wanted to arrange Huo Manshu to the VIP table, but Huo Manshu just wanted to watch the show and there was no need to go to that conspicuous place. She just pulled Li Ting to a corner.
"I confirmed with the appraiser just now that Wang Cuihua will be here soon.
My revenge for you starts with Wang Cuihua. ”
Huo Manshu also made it clear: "Because Wang Cuihua is at best an accomplice, I will not kill her."
Li Ting nodded, indicating that she understood. What she wanted most was for that scumbag to get his retribution.
The auction started on time, and most of the items being auctioned were boring things. The two of them barely made any sound in the corner.
The giant snail stolen by Wang Cuihua was the penultimate lot, and the starting price was also very high.
Across the crowd, Homanshu could also see the nervous look on Wang Cuihua sitting in the front row.
The waiting time was a bit long. Huo Manshu found a comfortable position and put the sign on her face to rest for a while. She asked Li Ting to watch from the side: "You call me when Wang Cuihua's snail is auctioned. This is very important. If If you miss it, you may miss the opportunity to watch the show.”
Li Ting nodded heavily to reassure Huo Manshu.
By the time Homanshu was woken up again, the auction of the giant snail had already begun.
The giant snail was like an ornament, motionless as the auctioneer introduced it.
Huo Manshu stretched his muscles and then picked up the sign in his hand.
She's going to the auction.
"The starting price is 10 million!"
After the auctioneer introduced a lot, the bidding started.
There were many people raising placards at first, but when the price exceeded 80 million, almost no one was there, and only two or three scattered ones were still competing.
Huo Manshu didn't waste any time and directly shouted 100 million.
Li Ting next to her was so frightened that she could not speak. She had never seen 100 million in her life.
"Cousin, isn't this a little too much?"
Li Ting doesn't think Huo Manshu is such a rich person.
"It's okay, I have money." Huo Manshu brushed Li Ting's hand away. She could take out the money.
And the giant snail is worth the price.
The most important thing is that she has her own plan.
When Ho Manshu raised the price, some people began to hesitate. There was still a difference between tens of millions and hundreds of millions.
After a silence, almost when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared: "Twenty million!"
It was a man's voice, and one could still vaguely hear excitement and fanaticism.
Huo Manshu was a little surprised. Could it be that someone saw the hidden value of the giant snail?
Wang Cuihua almost fainted with joy when she heard this astronomical figure in the front row. She had never heard such a big number in her life.
Huo Manshu paused for a moment and did not continue to raise the sign. Although the giant snail was taken away by others in the end, which was somewhat inconsistent with her plan, Wang Cuihua deserved her misfortune.
Li Ting on the side looked at Huo Manshu's lowered hand and felt that she looked lonely.
"Cousin, are we not going to follow?"
Huo Manshu turned to stare at her and answered matter-of-factly: "Do you have that much money?"
Li Ting wanted to say that she didn't have it but Huo Manshu did, but she didn't say it in the end.
The giant snail was auctioned off by an inexplicable man for 200 million. Homanshu did not move. She just clicked on the illustrated book when the giant snail covered with red cloth went down, and then began to watch the auction of her last lot. .
Ho Man Shu's performance was the finale, and it attracted a lot of attention as soon as she came on stage.
Huo Manshu herself didn't pay much attention to it. She just heard Li Ting yelling at the side: "Cousin, you have already reached 100 million!"
"Cousin, 150 million!"
"Cousin, they are crazy, they are offering 200 million for a broken plate!"
Huo Manshu couldn't stand the messy sounds in her ears. She raised her hand to cover Li Ting's mouth and put a finger on her lips: "Quiet, cousin needs to be quiet."
Li Ting blinked and nodded pitifully, then made a zipper movement with her hands.
In the end, the broken plate that Li Ting talked about successfully broke the record with a price of 250 million.
The end of the auction is the final stage of money and goods transactions.
Everyone has a separate room.
This is a little different from what Huo Manshu thought.
While waiting for the buyer, she glanced at Li Ting: "Maybe you won't see the good show."
Li Ting didn't know why. Just when she was about to ask, the buyer entered the house.
She is a woman who looks very capable in professional attire.
The woman didn't say a word during the whole process. She took the expert to inspect the items and then paid and left.
Li Ting looked a little bored on the side. After all, it was a transaction of hundreds of millions, and she didn't even see any passion and caution.
After the two of them finished the transaction, they went out and happened to hear a fierce quarrel in the room next to them.
It was so serious that the organizers had already sent people over.
Huo Manshu stood at the door and listened. The loudspeaker-like voice was definitely Wang Cuihua's.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cuihua was in the room next to her. She pushed Li Ting's arm: "You are lucky to be able to see a good show."
