Chapter 102

Just as the crowd was about to recovered, someone shouted immediately.

"It's rare for Master Jing Hai to come to Huadong City. I would like to give out 200,000 for a peace talisman, and Master Jing Hai will give it."

"I want to buy it too! Ask Master Jing Hai to give me a charm."

"Mr. Jing Hai's peace talisman is hard to find. Two hundred thousand is nothing, I will buy five of it!"

The scene was very lively. Immediately, many of the rich bosses transferred deposits on the spot to buy Master Jing Hai's talisman.

"Line up! One by one! Don't push!"

The assistant registered them one by one impatiently, and the scene was extremely lively.

Ma Wen couldn't help but said: "What kind of peace talisman is so expensive? It's too easy to make money."

His voice is not loud, but Mr. Jing Hai suddenly raised his head and stared at him with frowning brows.

Mr. Jing Hai pushed away from the crowd, strode to Ma Wen, took a look and said: "My friend, listen to your tone. Do you have an opinion on my talisman?"

Ma Wen said lightly: "I don't think this is worth so much money."

Someone in the crowd immediately said: "Bullshit! What would you know? Mr. Jing Hai's talisman are considered cheap at the price of 200,000!"

"That's right! Many people are rushing to buy the talisman at 2 million each!"

"This kind of rag. It is estimated that you can only afford the two dollar talisman from the temple!"

Mr. Jing Hai looked at Ma Wen. Snorted, and said, "You can eat rice. But you can't talk nonsense. The reason why people grow their brains is to think in their heads before speaking. It's best not to pretend to understand."

After speaking, Mr. Jing Hai curled his lips in disdain, and walked into the exhibition hall first.

Ma Wen's face was indifferent, and he didn't even have Mr. Jing Hai in his eyes.

Wan Ting on the side said embarrassingly: "Mr. Ma Wen, don't take it to your heart. Mr. Jing Hai has a bigger temper."

Ma Wen shook his head indifferently, and said to Wan Ting, "Let's go in."

The guests entered the venue one by one. The host for this auction was Bao Feng Gui, the owner of the Treasure Pavilion. After a few words of routine speech on the stage, the auction officially begins!

Due to the temporary cancellation of the last auction, this time there were a lots more crowded than last time. It is estimated that the number of guests has doubled.

The first item that the two etiquette ladies pushed onto the stage with a trolley was an antique copper incense burner. White mist can be seen curling up and a hint of fragrant can be smell immediately by the people.

The auctioneer then proceeds to introduced: "This is the Song He Backflow Incense Burner from Wang Dynasty. It is one of the treasures given to the painter and calligraphy, Master Su Dong Po by the Emperor of Wang Dynasty. The two boxes of ambergris are used by the Wang Dynasty court and are not allowed to be used by normal people. Moreover, the production method has been lost, and it is exciting to hear that it has a slight refreshing effect!"

After speaking, he motioned to the etiquette to light incense.

An etiquette lady of carefully dug a handful of incense with a silver spoon to light it.

A white smoke slowly drip down from the incense burner like a waterfall, and the pine cranes on the incense burner were vivid, and faintly flapping their wings.

A faint scent floated up in the auction hall immediately, and the smell was very refreshing. Everyone couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Ma Wen nodded and said: "It is indeed authentic ambergris. It is refined by sperm whales. This kind of hand-made incense technology is basically impossible to buy now."

The auctioneer knocked the gavel twice and said: "The starting price of the Song He Backflow Incense Burner is at 800,000. The minimum bid price is by 100,000."

This incense burner is exquisitely made, and has a certain collection value. Whereas the auction price is also moderate. This caused the audience to raised placards to bid for the antique.

In a short while, the incense burner was auctioned away by a player for 1.6 million.

Immediately afterwards, seven or eight lots were presented. All of which were high-quality antiques.

The atmosphere of the venue was exciting. Almost everyone was bidding for their favorite antique.

Except for Dai Fu, who watched it with gusto because he was lacking in his pocket. Otherwise he would be too itchy and holding the placard to bid.

However, Ma Wen had no interest in these collections.

Although these lots are precious and they are limited to collections. But they are of no value to him.

At this moment, the hostess brought a white porcelain plate with a string of purple beads shining in the light!

The auctioneer introduced: "The natural purple pearls of the East China Sea, which can only be picked out from a thousand beads. The beads are round and uniform in size, which is a rare good product."

The auction price of this string of purple pearls is not expensive. Starting price at 400,000 with an increment of 100,000 each bid.

Ma Wen raised his hand and immediately bid.

"Five hundred thousand!"

Dai Fu's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said: "What are you going to do with this?! The pearl necklace is worth tens of thousands! This necklace cost 400,000 is a waste! Don't bid!"

Ma Wen looked at the string of pearls, thinking of Yu Ying in his heart, and said with a smile: "I think Yu Ying is quite suitable for wearing it. Pearls calm the nerves. She has been under too much pressure recently and has poor sleep cycle. It is good for her."

When he heard that he was buying for his daughter, Dai Fu closed his mouth, and unknowingly what he wanted to say next.

The collection value of this necklace is not high, so no one bids.

Just when the auctioneer was about to make a final decision, a voice suddenly sounded.

"Six hundred thousand!"

Ma Wen looked to the side searching for the voice.

He saw that Ao Dong, from the Qin family, showed his head from the side, with a sneer on his face, and said to Ma Wen: "Sorry, I also fell in love with this necklace!"

Ma Wen couldn't help frowning, why is he here too? Isn't he forbidden by Qin Gang?

Ao Dong had a miserable life these few days.

After getting into trouble a few days ago, he was severely beaten by his second uncle and was also grounded.

However, with his extreme love for antiques, how can this level of auction be missed by him?

So, he tried his best to run away from home to participate in the auction today. But he didn't expect to see Ma Wen here again.

He had always been disdainful of Ma Wen, in his opinion, the second uncle was completely deceived by this kid.

But he didn't dare to provoke Ma Wen head-on. Seeing that Ma Wen was about to shoot the necklace, he immediately bid the price. Although it was useless, it was good to make Ma Wen uncomfortable.

Ma Wen glanced at him, then turned his head indifferently, and continued to bid.

"Seven hundred thousand!"

Ao Dong followed closely: "Eight hundred thousand!"

Dai Fu couldn't sit still, and said quickly: "Ma Wen, let's not bid anymore. Forget it, and don't fight for it."

Ma Wen smiled faintly and said, "Look at how I play with him."

After speaking, he directly raised his hand: "8 million!"

The scene was dumbfounded.

Others call 800,000, you call 8 million? Are you serious?

Ao Dong was also dumbfounded. Damn, you don't play cards according to the routine! My call is 800,000. You should be calling 900,000. The maximum is one million. What do you mean by 8 million?

Do you have too much money to burn, or is your brain short-circuited?

Ma Wen raised his eyebrows towards Ao Dong and smiled, "Mr. Ao Dong, continue!"

Ao Dong sipped: "You're crazy! I'm not! Buying this tattered thing for 8 million? Forget it! It suits you!"

Although Ao Dong couldn't hold his face, he was really unwilling to bid on the basis of 8 million.

The value of this bead is as high as 700,000. If he really spend more than 8 million to buy it, he will be broken when he goes home.

Money is not spent like that!

Ma Wen stared at Ao Dong at this time, and said disdainfully: "Mr. Ao Dong, you withered so soon? It seems that you can't do it either."

Everyone laughed.

Ao Dong blushed and said, "You're so fucking irritating me. I don't think you can afford it at all. You're fucking asking for a price and want to lead me to a bid further? Humph, I have to see how the fuck you gonna pay for it!"

Ma Wen curled his lips: "If you can't afford it, just say you can't. What's the point of explaining so much here?"

At this time, the auctioneer also dropped the hammer.

"8 million! Deal! Congratulations to Mr. Ma Wen!"

After that, an etiquette lady came to Ma Wen with a wireless credit card machine and said, "Mr. Ma Wen, please use your card to pay."

Everyone was staring at Ma Wen, and Ao Dong sneered: "Ma Wen, I want to see how the hell you're going to swiping your card! Can you take out 8 million?!"

Others were curious as to whether Ma Wen will be frantic and mad. Or could he really come up with so much money?

Ma Wen smiled lightly, took out Qin Gang's premium card, and finished swiping the card swiftly.

The premium card has no password.

Credit card successful!

The etiquette lady handed the receipt to Ma Wen and respectfully said: "Mr. Ma Wen, the treasures you procured will be delivered to you before the end of auction!"

"Good!" Ma Wen nodded.

Others were shocked!

It seems that he is really rich!

Buying a necklace of 700,000 at the price of 8 million, this man is really bold!

At this moment, Ma Wen looked at Ao Dong and asked with a smile, "Mr. Ao Dong, have you taken this order?"

There was a burst of laughter around, and someone ridiculed: "Mr. Ao Dong, isn't he in the middle of his family and can't afford to pay?"

"Haha, I think Young Mr. Ao Dong is too weak to lift the knife!"

"Hahahaha!"

Ao Dong felt hot on his face.

Damn this grandson can really come up with so much money!

This time he is really embarrassed!

So he gritted his teeth and said: "Ma Wen, I will never lose to you in the next item!"

Ma Wen nodded, and said indifferently: "Okay, let's move to the next one!"

Ao Dong didn't know where Ma Wen get his confidence from, let alone Ma Wen was still holding a card from his second uncle in his hand.

Soon, a few more collections were sold, followed by a semi-finished Tian Huang Yu embryo.

Half of this jade embryo is wrapped in rock to show that it is purely natural. The starting price to bid is 800,000.

The naturally formed jade embryo contains a certain amount of spiritual energy. Ma Wen thought to himself, this thing was just right for Qin Gang to repel the evil spirits, and he immediately raised the card.

"Nine hundred thousand!"

But as soon as his voice fell, the familiar voice sounded again.

"1 million!"

Ma Wen turned his head and met Ao Dong's provocative eyes.

He remained silent for awhile.
