Chapter 82: Auction House

All the bosses in the box on the second floor also saw the scene that happened on the first floor just now.

They didn't pay much attention to Lee Minho who was mistaken for the illegitimate son of the Qin family before.

When seeing the illegitimate son of the Qin family go to Lee Minho for trouble, they all waited for a good show.

But later developments were somewhat unexpected.

Unexpectedly, that Lee Minho just said a few words, which angered that Qin Anze.

Then, Fang Jun overheard Qin Anze's reluctance.

In the end, Lee Minho was fine, but it was Qin Anze offended Fang Jun.

Like Choi Jaywon and others, many people also doubted whether Fang Jun's arrival was planned by Lee Minho long ago.

Even Fang Jun himself, who was sitting in Box No. 1 was so skeptical.

"Although Kang Taehyun and Yoon Jungsu are not very capable, they are also a bit clever. If they didn't get the permission of their old man, it would be impossible to stand beside that Lee Minho."

Fang Jun's red phoenix eyes revealed a trace of gloom, and he said to a bodyguard beside him.

"Someone find out where that Lee Minho came from."

"Yes."

The bodyguard quietly exited the box.

The following auction has officially started, but Fang Jun has placed a chess board on the table.

It seems that he is not interested in the things at the auction.

Lee Minho and Kang Taehyun sat in the first row of seats in the hall, and they could see the auction items on the stage clearly.

Lee Minho sighed involuntarily.

"Sitting here, I can see much more clearly than sitting in a box."

Apart from showing off and having a few more fruit plates in that box, it might actually be better to sit in the lobby.

Paying 3 million to sit on it for an hour or two. Lee Minho felt that probably only those big bosses who were really not short of money would ask for a box.

Anyway, if Lee Minho was asked to pay for it to sit on it for an hour or two, he would never be willing.

"Haha, indeed. We are the closest to the auction item."

Kang Taehyun said with a smile.

Then he turned his head and took a serious look at Lee Minho, seeing him sitting in the hall without the slightest displeasure, he also felt relieved.

The first auction item is a landscape painting.

According to the auctioneer's introduction, this is a painting was painted by a famous painter in the Ming Dynasty.

The artistic conception of the painting is very good.

Recently, Lee Minho was going to take painting class too, but unfortunately he hurt his hand, so he had to suspend the painting

class.

This painting is from the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the work of a famous painter.

-"The starting price is 8 million, and each increase is not less than 100,000."

In auctions like this, there will always be a minimum price increase standard.

There will never be the kind of forcibly slapping and humiliating plots in the TV novels where the protagonist is allowed to add one dollars.

When Lee Minho heard about this painting, the starting price was 8 million. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still very surprised.

This comes up with auction items starting at 8 million. Aren't the later ones more expensive?

With 8 million, you can buy a good three bedroom apartment near the capital.

But think again, this is an antique, the longer it is kept, the more valuable it will be.

The current house is not like a few years ago, and it is considered good to be able to preserve its value.

The most important thing is that if you need money urgently for an ancient painting like this, you can sell it at any time.

But the house is not so easy to sell. And the price of the house will drop after a long time.

These 8 million paintings sound expensive, but the people who can come to this auction are either rich or expensive.

Landscape paintings by famous artists of the Ming Dynasty are still very popular.

Soon, many people raised their placards and yelled their bids.

"8.3 million."

"8.5 million."

"9 million"

Soon, this painting has exceeded 10 million.

When it breaks through 10 million, there will be fewer people making moves.

In the end, the painting was sold for 11.3 million dollars.

Kang Taehyun looked at Lee Minho with concentration.

He couldn't help leaning into Lee Minho's ear, and asked softly.

"Young Master Lee, is there anything you fancy? I'll take a picture of it and give it to you later?"

Lee Minho took a look at Kang Taehyun, he didn't expect this kid to be so generous.

"No, I'll do it myself."

If it were normal, Lee Minho would of course accept it.

However, Lee Minho decided to pay for the items auctioned tonight. Because he came to this auction just to rebate.

After all, the items in the auction are all one-time payments.

If Kang Taehyun pays the bill, then he will lose a lot.

He now has 720 million dollars in his hand. He must spend it tonight.

Soon, the second item came up, which was a snuff bottle from the Ming Dynasty.

From the outside, although the snuff bottle is small, it is very gorgeous.

Lee Minho was not interested in this thing so he began to flip through the auction brochure in his hand.

Lee Minho remembered that he still had a few cabinets on the first floor that were used to store antiques, and the design was very stylish.

So, he was going to buy some antiques and go back to discharge them. Keep the closet from being so empty.

If you put the cabinet, it is best to be have a flowerpot porcelain or something.

For things like calligraphy and painting, it is troublesome to find a place to hang them up and keep them well.

There are quite a lot of things in the booklet, Lee Minho took a look at it, and then calculated his savings.

Soon, it was decided what to shoot.

The fifth item is up.

It was a picture of a crane celebrating a birthday, which had a very good meaning.

It was painted by a famous painter in the Qing Dynasty and inscribed by a famous poet.

In terms of rounds, this painting is actually more valuable for collection than the Ming Dynasty landscape painting in the first round of auction.

The starting price is 10 million.

An old man sitting in the second row was the first to hold up the sign.

Immediately afterwards, on the big screen on the stage, a large number 9 lit up, which indicated that there was a bid for box No. 9.

The bid was 13 million.

The people sitting in the lobby who originally wanted to make a bid saw that there was a bid for the box on the second floor.

This made them hesitated for a while, and did not make any more bids.

The box on the second floor represents status, and generally only the box on the second floor bids.

People on the first floor will give face to those in the boxes on the second floor.

Yoon Jungsu, who was sitting on Lee Minho's right side, frowned and said.

"I didn't expect that Qin Anze came here for this painting."

Kang Taehyun, who was sitting on Lee Minho's left side said.

"What's strange about it? Next week will be Mr. Qin's birthday. This painting is suitable for Qin Anze to give to Mr. Qin."

Lee Minho was not interested in that painting, so he looked up in the direction of Box No. 9.

The middle of the second floor of the auction is hollow, and there are 20 boxes, each forming a circle.

Therefore, people sitting in the lobby on the first floor can look up to the red doors of 20 boxes.

"Box No. 9, is it Qin Anze?" Lee Minho asked.

Kang Taehyun said unhappily.

"Yes. Although, the boxes needed to be reserved. But that is only limited to boxes No. 11 to 20. Boxes No. 1 to No. 3 are all owned by the Fang family. Boxes No. 4 to No. 10, are belonged to several other families."

He then continued.

"Box No. 9 has always been reserved by the Qin family. If it wasn't for the Qin family, it would be impossible for Qin Anze to sit in that box as an illegitimate child."

Kang Taehyun was not jealous, nor did he look down on Qin Anze's status as an illegitimate child.

He just looked down on Qin Anze's arrogant character.

This hasn't become the heir of the Qin family yet, just like this. If you become the heir of the Qin family, you will not be able to go to heaven!

It's just a pity that the previous heir of the Qin family is gone. Although that heir is not capable, he is better than Qin Anze.

Very good, after confirming that Box No. 9 is Qin Anze, and hearing that the painting of cranes celebrating birthday is the painting that Qin Anze wanted to give to Mr. Qin.

Lee Minho smiled.

-"13 million, once, 13 million twice..."

The auctioneer on the stage was about to hit the hammer, suddenly Lee Minho raised the sign in his hand.

"15 million."

Everyone looked at Lee Minho in unison.

"Young Master Lee..."

Kang Taehyun was also surprised, he didn't expect Lee Minho to bid.

At the moment Lee Minho made his bid, his face appeared on the big screen.

Seeing himself on the big screen, Lee Minho showed a generous and decent smile.

However, this smile, in the view of Qin Anze in Box No. 9, was a provocation.

"That son of a bitch, how dare he bid?"

Originally, after Qin Anze made his bid, he was already sure of winning. He felt that since he had made his bid, no one would dare to bid again.

Next week is his grandpa's birthday, and Qin Anze's father gave Qin Anze 20 million to take the picture of the crane celebrating his birthday.

As for the remaining money from the auction, of course it will go into his own pocket. So the Qin family directly bid.

And he also thinks that after he bids, no one will not give him in front of him. After all, he is the heir of the Qin family.

But Lee Minho actually bid.

Qin Anze shouted to Lu Quiang angrily.

"The bid is 16 million."

Lu Quiang immediately pressed the price of 16 million on the tablet on the desktop.

The quotation for box No.9 immediately appeared on the big screen on the first floor.

Seeing this Lee Minho calmly raised the sign in his hand again.

"18 million."

This addition directly added 2 million.

Kang Taehyun and Yoon Jungsu, the four of them, glanced at each other.

'Young Master Lee is provoking Qin Anze?'

"Damn it, wait for this young master. When I leave the door here, I will not only break his hand, but also his legs."

Qin Anze in the box roared again.

"Give another 500,000."

The auctioneer said loudly.

-"The bid for Box No. 9 is 18.5 million."

Seeing that only 500,000 was added this time, Lee Minho knew in his heart that this price was about to touch Qin Anze's bottom line.

Therefore, Lee Minho held up the sign again.

"19.5 million."

Boom.

Qin Anze punched the table directly, he gritted his teeth and looked at Lee Minho's face on the big screen.

He can't wait to drink his blood and eat his flesh in anger.

"Young Master Qin, do we want to add more?"

Lu Quiang asked cautiously, for fear that Qin Anze would transfer his anger to him.

Qin Anze gritted his teeth and said.

"Add more, make it 20 million."

His father gave him 20 million in total, and nothing more.

Lu Quiang immediately entered a price of 20 million.

After seeing the price, Lee Minho shook the sign in his hand.

However, Yoon Jungsu on the side saw this, pressed his hand, and said softly.

"Young Master Lee, that painting is worth 18 million or 20 million at most, which is already beyond the value of that painting."

Of course, Yoon Jungsu didn't want Lee Minho to offend Qin Anze severely. After all, who knows if that Qin Anze will get mad and do something irreversible.

Lee Minho took a meaningful look at Box No. 9, and after listening to Yoon Jungsu's words, he didn't raise his sign again.

Only then did Qin Anze successfully bid for the painting at a price of 20 million.

But Qin Anze was not happy at all, instead he exploded with anger.
