Chapter 1,367 Bidding!

Xu Taiping believes that there are geniuses in this world.

What is a genius?

Genius is a person who can achieve great achievements without any effort at all. This is called a genius. Any kind of achievement that relies on genius is not a genius.

Obviously, Zhao Xiaohua is a genius, a genius at biting.

Zhao Xiaohua only used it three times from being young, to proficient, to proficient, and then to proficient.

Many people will never reach Zhao Xiaohua's police level in their lifetime.

Xu Taiping always thought that he was a long-distance running champion, but in front of Zhao Xiaohua, Xu Taiping felt that he might be a little too immature.

After coming out of the bathroom, Xu Taiping felt that his legs were a little shaky.

Logically speaking, continuous work in a short period of time would not exhaust his physical strength. However, the feeling conveyed between Zhao Xiaohua's lips and teeth really made Xu Taiping feel carried away.

Zhao Xiaohua held Xu Taiping's hand and walked back to the party.

The charity sale was coming to an end at this time. A total of five items were auctioned in the twenty minutes that Xu Taiping disappeared. The entire auction has raised nearly 10 million in donations so far.

"Next, is the most valuable lot in our charity sale in my opinion. This lot was donated by our Mr. Ye Luoshi. Eight years ago, Mr. Ye Luoshi brought it from abroad. I bought this antique from China. Mr. Ye Luoshi spent about 30 million yuan at that time. Dear gentlemen and ladies, the 30 million yuan eight years ago is now worth at least 60 million yuan. Okay, let us all give our warmest applause to thank our Mr. Ye Luoshi." The host shouted loudly.

There was warm applause at the scene, and even Xu Taiping couldn't help but applaud vigorously. As an actor, he was able to spend 30 million to buy his ancestors' things from abroad eight years ago. This is a great thing in itself. It was an amazing thing, not to mention that he had donated this thing now. Xu Taiping was ashamed of his kindness.

After a long time, the applause stopped.

"Now, please invite our hostess to present this lot to everyone!" the host Gao Sheng shouted.

The music sounded, and beams of light hit a hostess who came up from the side.

The hostess was holding a plate in her hand, and on top of the plate was an exquisite and simple red sandalwood box.

The hostess brought the plate to the center of the stage, and then placed the box on the display stand in the middle of the stage.

Under everyone's gaze, the etiquette lady gently opened the box.

Inside the box, a gold and jade hairpin appeared in front of everyone.

This hairpin is beautiful and full of classical charm.

"This is a hairpin that was handed down from the palace more than 200 years ago. Some people say that it was used by the princesses of the year. It was snatched out of the palace by the multinational coalition more than 200 years ago and was tossed around for two years. It was bought back to the country by our Mr. Ye Luoshi for more than a hundred years. Although this hairpin has been through for more than two hundred years, it is still intact and in very good condition. Even if it is worn now, it still looks very good. Enough to say, there is no reserve price for this hairpin. One bid will increase the price by at least 500,000 yuan. Now, the bidding begins!" the host shouted.

"Eighty million." A calm voice sounded.

This voice was exactly the same as the voice that shouted five million before, so everyone knew without looking that the person calling the price was Li Jiangshan, the son of the richest man in China.

The hairpin worth 30 million eight years ago is now worth about 50 million. When Ye Luo lost the auction and got the hairpin back, he spent more than the hairpin's estimated value. The hairpin's estimated value at that time was only One million to five million. I don’t know whether it was Ye Luoqi’s bad luck or the auction arrangement at that time. Ye Luoqi met someone who had been bidding with him, and finally spent 30 million, which was twice the estimated value. I bought this hairpin at a price of , which means that the actual value of this hairpin is 15 million. Now, eight years later, it is about 30 million. Unlike other antiques, this hairpin has room for price increase. It's very limited, so everyone's psychological position for this hairpin is between 30 million and 40 million. In addition, today is a charity sale, and some people are still willing to pay up to 50 million. As for 80 million, then Except for Li Jiangshan, no one else here was willing to spend this money.

"My dear, 80 million, I haven't even seen this much money!" Zhao Xiaohua sighed.

"So rich!" Xu Taiping sighed.

On the stage, the host shouted excitedly, "Our Mr. Li bids 80 million. This is really a shocking price. Is there any gentleman who wants to increase the price?"

No one shouted the price at the scene.

I don’t know who it was, but suddenly applauded. After that, more and more people applauded. Everyone began to congratulate Li Jiangshan, congratulate him for spending 80 million to get the hairpin, and also congratulate him. Thank you for such a generous donation to welfare causes.

The hammer in the host's hand was raised high, and it was about to fall. At this moment, an equally plain voice sounded.

"One hundred million."

This sound was so insignificant among the crowd of applause that it was almost drowned by the applause. However, for some reason, this sound passed directly through the crowd and finally entered the ears of the host.

"One hundred million, which gentleman is offering 100 million, please raise your hand!" the host shouted excitedly.

As the host shouted, the applause suddenly stopped.

Li Jiangshan was chatting with his female companion with a smile on his face. He didn't seem to take the applause to heart at all. However, when the applause stopped, Li Jiangshan's face trembled slightly uncontrollably.

One hundred million?

Li Jiangshan also heard the price. He seemed a little unbelievable because the price was many times higher than the real price of the hosta.

A hand was raised suddenly in the crowd.

Everyone looked at the owner of this hand, and they were surprised to find that the owner of this hand was actually the author of the book that sold two million words just now, that is, Mr. Xu in the host's mouth!

This Mr. Xu actually offered 100 million for a hosta worth 30 to 40 million? !

Everyone was confused. How could Mr. Xu, a humble man, be so rich?

Li Jiangshan looked at Xu Taiping.

Although Xu Taiping wore glasses, Li Jiangshan recognized him at a glance.

In fact, Li Jiangshan had many opportunities to discover Xu Taiping's calligraphy. However, whether Xu Taiping raised his hand and said that he had written the calligraphy, or whether Xu Taiping's calligraphy was sold for a high price later, his attention was not on Xu Taiping's calligraphy. He didn't even look back at Xu Taiping, so Li Jiangshan was a little surprised to see Xu Taiping.

However, after being surprised, a sneer appeared on Li Jiangshan's lips, and he said, "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Mr. Xu."

"Aha, isn't this Mr. Li?" Xu Taiping looked at Li Jiangshan in surprise and said, "Mr. Li is so excited that he actually came to Hong Kong City."

"I happened to be here on vacation, so I stopped by to attend this party. Does Mr. Xu like this hairpin?" Li Jiangshan asked.

"Yes, I like it inexplicably!" Xu Taiping said seriously.

"Okay, how about we each rely on our abilities." Li Jiangshan said with a smile.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded.

The conversation between the two ended here.

Although there was no very important information in this round of dialogue, the people present were still trembling in their hearts.

Mr. Xu, who was sitting in the back row, actually knew Li Jiangshan, and from Li Jiangshan's words, it seemed that Li Jiangshan valued this person very much, otherwise he would not have said anything based on his own abilities.

How could a person sitting in the back row attract so much attention from Li Jiangshan?

How can this be? Anyone with a more distinguished status would sit in the front row!

Lin Zai Rong was sweating while listening to what Li Jiangshan and Xu Taiping said. To be honest, at the dinner the night before yesterday, Lin Zai Rong did not take Xu Taiping too seriously. The reason why he eagerly chatted with Xu Taiping and invited Xu Taiping came to the party mainly because Xu Taiping is an investor. Investors must be rich, and I am sure they will be able to contribute a little to charity.

It is precisely because of this idea that when Lin Zairong arranged seats for Xu Taiping later, he arranged them in the back, because for people like Xu Taiping and Zhao Xiaohua who did not have a very important position in the circle, they were usually Sitting in the back.

This kind of arrangement is nothing, but who would have thought that Xu Taiping actually knew Li Jiangshan, and he was a character who dared to play opposite Li Jiangshan. It would be really disrespectful for such a character to sit in the back row!

Lin Zairong's mind was already thinking about how to make up for the relationship between him and Xu Taiping after the party, and those who knew Xu Taiping or had ridiculed Xu Taiping before began to make plans. How can we get closer to Xu Taiping.

Anyone who can compete with Li Jiangshan is definitely worth dating!

"Add 20 million." Li Jiangshan spoke under the spotlight.

"One hundred and twenty million! Our Mr. Li asked for one hundred and twenty million. This is definitely the highest price we have ever auctioned in so many years. Thank you to our Mr. Li!" the host shouted excitedly.

"Two hundred million." Xu Taiping said with an indifferent expression.

"Mr. Xu, what did you say? I, I seem to have heard wrongly?" the host asked dumbfounded.

"Two hundred million." Xu Taiping raised his two fingers and made a V.

"Two hundred million! My God, Mr. Xu offered 200 million! It directly increased the highest price in our history by 80 million, 200 million, and there is no increase in price!" the host shouted.

"Twenty million more." Li Jiangshan said.

"Two hundred and twenty million!!" the host shouted.

"Double it, 440 million." Xu Taiping said calmly.

These words were like thunder on the ground, causing the hearts of everyone present to tremble violently.
