Cai Wenhong simply smiled without joining in the conversation. He was still busy bidding for the bronze chimes and did not have time to explain the deal he had struck with Gu Ning. Gu Ning had already agreed to sell the bronze chimes to the Palace Museum, so the auction was just for show.
Even if he was free, he would not choose to explain now when there were bystanders around. It would only cause trouble if anyone overheard this since it was considered fraud. Both Xiangyun Antique-store and the museum would end up in hot water if anyone found out.
Gu Ning did not explain either.
By the time the price reached 8.5 billion yuan, no one else vied for the bronze chimes. The auction price was far higher than expected.
As expected, Cai Wenhong won the bid. No matter how much he offered for the bronze chimes, he only had to pay Gu Ning 5 billion yuan, so he was unafraid of offering an astronomical sum.
