Chapter 19 Battle for Doucai Cup
Xu Youyou looked back at Gu Fengchuan, and soon received the man's provocative look.
Xu Youyou did not bid immediately, but waited for a while.
"Once in eleven million, twice in eleven million..."
Following the auctioneer's words, Gu Fengchuan became anxious. After all, buying this topaz jade pendant was not what he expected. Although the Gu family was not short of money, they would obviously suffer a loss if they bought it at such a premium.
Fortunately, before the auctioneer's hammer had settled, Xu Youyou raised his placard again.
But this time Xu Youyou's movements were a little more hesitant: "Twelve million."
After receiving the bid, the auctioneer immediately turned his eyes to Gu Fengchuan, as if he couldn't wait for Gu Fengchuan to quote a high price again.
But Gu Fengchuan just wanted to make Xu Youyou spend more money, and he didn't really want to steal things from her. Xu Youyou was so hesitant now, and Gu Fengchuan was afraid that she would no longer follow the price.
"Once for twelve million, twice for twelve million, three times for twelve million, let us congratulate bidder No. 0!" the auctioneer said loudly.
Seeing that the dust had settled, Xu Youyou breathed a sigh of relief. She actually didn't know what the purpose of this jade pendant was, but since the system wanted her to buy it, it must be of great use.
Lu Jingyao on the side did not bid for several times in succession, and kept watching quietly. Xu Youyou couldn't help but be curious about why the other party came.
Is it for her Doucai Cup?
She thought that Lu Jingyao's face looked very wealthy, and he would definitely fetch a high price when the time came.
Gu Xueying, who was sitting in the back row, kept her eyes on Xu Youyou and Lu Jingyao. Her heart suddenly thought, could Xu Youyou be interested in Mr. Lu too? Is it not enough to rob a wealthy family member from herself? Xu Youyou also wants to rob her of her ideal partner?
"This jade bracelet is quite beautiful. Sister, do you want it?" Gu Fengchuan suddenly pointed at the latest auction item and asked.
It happened that at this time, Gu Xueying saw Xu Youyou leaning forward slightly, as if she wanted to see the jade bracelet clearly, and mistakenly thought that Xu Youyou was also interested in the bracelet.
"This bracelet is so beautiful. I like it very much. But brother, you have already taken a picture of a pink diamond necklace for me. Otherwise, take a picture of this jade bracelet and give it to Sister Youyou. She seems to like it very much." Gu Xueying said.
Gu Fengchuan frowned: "Didn't she just take a piece of jade pendant? She doesn't seem to be very interested in our Gu family, so why bother looking for it? On the contrary, your wrist is empty today and you are missing this pair of jade bracelets."
The jade bracelet is green all over and has excellent water quality. Many people are interested in it. After several rounds of bidding, the price has reached 10 million.
"Eleven million." Gu Fengchuan held up the sign.
The auctioneer's eyes lit up when he saw him. As long as Gu Fengchuan took action, the price could be raised for at least two more rounds.
Sure enough, Xu Youyou followed suit and bid: "Twelve million."
Xu Youyou looked back at Gu Fengchuan, as if to say that she was determined to win this auction item.
Gu Fengchuan hesitated for a moment, because he was not sure whether Xu Youyou deliberately raised the price or really wanted it because of the items in the previous two auctions.
But seeing that Xu Youyou's unlucky mentality had gained the upper hand, he still raised his sign: "Thirteen million."
Xu Youyou did not hesitate: "Fourteen million."
Gu Fengchuan also raised a sign: "Fifteen million."
But this time, Xu Youyou didn't follow. After all, she didn't really want the pair of jade bracelets.
As the auctioneer's hammer settled, Gu Fengchuan couldn't help but grit his teeth. He knew that he had been tricked by Xu Youyou again.
"Since sister doesn't particularly want it, why do you have to raise the price? Is it just to make you waste your money, brother?" Gu Xueying pretended to be worried.
Gu Fengchuan now hated Xu Youyou extremely, and said viciously: "She has no good intentions! I will tell her parents everything she did today!"
The corners of Gu Xueying's mouth raised. She hoped that Xu Youyou would do more annoying things so that she would never have to return to the Gu family. The auction items were shipped one after another. Xu Youyou did not continue to raise the price blindly, but participated in the bidding purely as a spectator.
Soon, the last auction item arrived, which was the Doucai Cup provided by Xu Youyou.
"This is a colorful cockscomb cup produced during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. It was a favorite of Emperor Chenghua. Most of the bidders present must have heard of its reputation. After our expert appraisal..." the auctioneer introduced smoothly. This auction item.
Many people at the scene watched the high-definition video on the big screen, as well as the auctioneer's Dou Cai cup that seemed to glow with historical light and shadow.
"Two hundred and fifty million."
The starting price of the Doucai Cup was 200 million, and Lu Jingyao immediately raised the price by a quarter.
Whispers suddenly sounded at the scene, and Xu Youyou could even clearly hear someone on the chair behind her saying, "Mr. Lu seems to be determined to win this Dou Cai Cup, otherwise we shouldn't fight with him."
But more voices wanted to take possession of this auction item.
"Two hundred and sixty million."
"Two hundred and seventy million."
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Three hundred million."
Soon, the price of this doucai cup exceeded the previous auction price.
Xu Youyou watched the quotation rise nervously.
Lu Jingyao was keenly aware of her abnormality and gave Assistant Liu beside him a look.
Assistant Liu approached Xu Youyou and whispered: "I haven't seen Miss Xu take action yet. You don't seem to be interested in this auction item?"
Xu Youyou still thought that she shouldn't be too interested. After all, the higher the price, the more money she would get.
"My family is poor and I can't afford it." Xu Youyou said casually.
Assistant Liu couldn't help but laugh, and even the corners of Lu Jingyao's mouth raised slightly.
"Ms. Xu was joking, but to tell you the truth, most of the people present came here for the colorful cup." Assistant Liu said.
Xu Youyou was excited. The market price of Doucai Cup seemed to be better than she expected. She hesitated and said, "Then I hope your boss can win this auction item, and I won't compete with him."
"Three hundred and twenty million."
The voice of the sudden quotation was naturally very familiar to Xu Youyou, it was her cheap big brother.
Gu Fengchuan felt a little regretful that he quoted the price to Xu Youyou but did not look back, thinking that if she knew how rich the Gu family was, she would definitely regret her indifferent attitude.
But Gu Fengchuan's glory did not last long. Lu Jingyao, who was beside Xu Youyou, held up the sign without changing his expression: "Four hundred million."
He raised the bidding price by 80 million in one breath, and the auction hall was quiet for half a minute.
The auctioneer delayed and delayed, and finally had no choice but to say: "One time for four hundred million..."
"Four hundred and twenty million!"
The person holding the sign again was Gu Fengchuan. This time, in order to bid for the Doucai Cup, Gu's father gave him a base price of 500 million before going out. The Gu family wanted this Doucai Cup to be of great use.
