Chapter 162 Bidding
"Thank me? Thank me for what?"
Li Longtu sat on the sofa and asked with a puzzled look on his face.
At this moment, Jiang Shan stood tall and graceful in front of him, her legs tightly together, her cheeks as red as the burning red clouds in the sky, her hands behind her back, her fingers stirring uneasily, looking as if she was entangled and shy.
"Thank you for taking action for me just now."
Li Longtu saw that she looked like a young girl in love, and felt that something was not going well.
But he couldn't be sure whether this girl really looked like him, or whether the old man Jiang Tianfeng was pretending to let her, his granddaughter, get closer to him.
In short, he still answered truthfully:
"After all, we came here together. Do I have to stand aside and watch him speak rudely to you?"
Jiang Shan nodded immediately, her little head following a rattle, but when she heard the words "rude", she seemed to think of something, and immediately explained seriously:
"Sir, I have absolutely nothing to do with that Qiu Hongyu!"
"I was managing some family business here in Dianyun, and I attended a banquet, and he was also present."
"In the end, he shamelessly told me about love at first sight..."
"I rejected him on the spot. Who knew he would spread rumors in his own circle, saying that he could capture me in a week..."
"But I never paid attention to him..."
Li Longtu was not interested in hearing these sesame and rotten millet things. He waved his hand to indicate that she did not need to explain. Instead, he took the initiative to ask:
"Where does this Qiu Hongyu come from?"
"His father is a big tycoon in Yunnan Province. His fortune was not glorious. Now that he has been cleansed, he is considered the only one in the province."
Jiang Shan explained patiently.
"In other words, we are considered powerful dragons, and he is a local snake?"
"If you really want to put it this way, it's true. I am indeed a little afraid of him. No, I am afraid of their enemy, or rather his father, Qiu Xinhai."
Jiang Shan sighed and said.
I have to admit that the enemy is indeed a local snake in Dianyun, and the Jiang family really wants to avoid his edge.
If something like this happens today, I'm afraid it won't be long before they even start to retaliate immediately.
However, what Li Longtu said next shocked Jiang Shan.
"You don't need to be afraid, and neither does the Jiang family."
Li Longtu tapped his fingers lightly on the armrest, "If you want to ask why, it's because I am behind the Jiang family, and I am Li Longtu."
When he said this, his eyes were deep, looking into the distance through the glass, showing a rare domineering look.
Jiang Shan was stunned.
She never thought that Li Longtu would show such a domineering side, like a great hero who had the ambition to conquer the clouds and dared to slay dragons and Buddhas.
She has really never met such a man.
Li Longtu always gave her the impression of a master's demeanor.
This kind of style is not one that is isolated from the world, but has some secular philistine, and has the fireworks of ordinary people and ordinary people.
But this moment of display of majestic aura was something that had never really made her drunk.
Li Longtu is indeed domineering.
It's just that this kind of domineering is more profound and charming in her eyes because of her own feelings.
It's like, he's not actually that dazzling, it's her love that gives him a layer of gold.
"What's wrong?"
Li Longtu saw Jiang Shan staying where she was, her face flushed, and thought she was feeling unwell, so he asked.
"No, it's okay. Just hearing what my husband said made me feel more at ease."
Jiang Shan said truthfully, her voice soft and warm.
…
Not long after, the auction started.
After the passionate and contagious opening remarks, the host began to introduce the various items purchased for this auction.
At the beginning of the period, they were all antiques from a relatively old age, or copies of poems and scrolls, and Li Longtu had no interest in them.
Many arty bastards took the bait, and the hype was so intense that all the staff at the venue were laughing with joy.
If there is no hype and an item is sold, they all get a commission more or less.
In this way, the auction will proceed in an orderly manner.
Until a wooden sculpture appeared, Li Longtu's eyes lit up.
Jiang Shan, who was sitting next to him, noticed it and immediately sat up straight. She knew that this wood carving was probably what Li Longtu needed.
"Blue and white wood carvings, starting at low price, 50,000 yuan."
The host used the microphone on the stage to announce the price.
Li Longtu squinted his eyes and directly signaled Jiang Shan to quote.
Jiang Shan would not neglect, she was also concentrating on it and immediately entered the price on the tablet in her hand.
The data is immediately transmitted to the host's screen.
"Mr. Li from Lianzhou City, bid... Bid 100,000? It's doubled!"
"Mr. Li's offer is quite generous. I wonder if anyone here has made a bid?"
Everyone in the audience started talking.
"Who is this Mr. Li? Paying 100,000 yuan for a wood carving? He is taken advantage of? He has money to burn?"
"I heard that he is a guest of the Jiang family. He is really confident."
"Isn't this a typical example of people who are stupid and have too much money!"
Seeing no one answered, the host shouted twice more:
"Anyone else, sir, madam, do you want to increase the price?"
Swish——
Suddenly, the numbers on the tablet at the host's hand refreshed.
One hundred twenty thousand!
"Wow! Our Mr. Qiu from Yunnan Province bids 120,000 yuan! Another increase of two points!"
"As expected of Mr. Qiu, he always surprises everyone!"
The host was also a little confused at this time.
This wood carving is just a small carving from ancient times. It is not the focus of this auction. It is just a foil. Why are both the Jiang family and the enemy suddenly interested in it?
Of course, the host is not aware of the conflict between the two parties in the box just now.
In the private room on the second floor, Jiang Shan pursed her lips and said with a slightly worried expression:
"Sir, as expected, Qiu Hongyu is very cautious and is going to rob us now."
Li Longtu smiled instead of being angry and said calmly:
"Just follow the price and we will increase it by five points."
"Uh...okay..."
Although Jiang Shan didn't know why her Mr. Li was interested in this wood carving, she didn't ask any more questions and just increased the price.
If the price is too high, she will buy it with her own money and give it to him!
"One hundred and seventy thousand! The Jiang family's one hundred and seventy thousand!"
"190,000! Mr. Qiu has increased the price by 190,000!"
"Jiang family! Two hundred and forty thousand!"
"Mr. Qiu, two hundred and sixty thousand!"
The host looked at the numbers that kept beating on the tablet, held up the microphone and shouted passionately.
After two consecutive rounds of price increases, everyone present could see it now.
This Mr. Qiu doesn't want this wood carving at all, he just wants to disgust the Jiang family!
Others always add five points, but he added two points, which seems like a joke.
But they didn't dare to say anything.
Because most of the people sitting here are locals from Dianyun, who doesn’t know the name of Mr. Qiu? Who dares to say bad things about Mr. Qiu due to face and social problems? Do you want to do business in Dianyun in the future?
"Seven o'clock!"
Li Longtu directly ordered Jiang Shan beside him.
The latter understands and enters the price.
Chapter completed!
