Xia Fan quickly raised the overweight card in his hand for the second time.
"One thousand one hundred! The current price is eleven hundred gold crowns!"
Lassein's hands couldn't help but tremble, "Hey, what do you want to do? If you plan to raise the price to attract the other party's attention, I bet that it is definitely not a good idea."
"There is a saying in the East that no one knows each other without fighting." Xia Fan patted him on the shoulder, "Don't worry, as long as it's fair competition, I believe he won't mind."
Achie didn't seem to pay much attention to this competition. There was only a few breaths between the two raisings of cards.
"One thousand four hundred, the bid is valid!"
"One thousand six hundred, the Easterners give one thousand six!"
"One thousand and eighty!"
"Two thousand one hundred! Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?"
There was a small commotion in the venue.
Two thousand one hundred gold karns, converted into silver, has reached more than sixteen thousand taels, which has long exceeded the normal price of a work of art.
"Do you have so much money?" Lassein was really anxious. The other party was an ambassador. If he couldn't survive in the archipelago, he could have just slapped his ass and left, but he couldn't. Xia Fan was invited by him and was jointly and severally responsible. If he didn't have so much money to take the photo, he would have to make up the difference! "This is different from what we agreed before!"
"Don't worry, our agreement is still valid." Xia Fan pretended to be calm, "I have a sense of how much I can pay, and I won't cause you any trouble."
In fact, he also complained in his heart.
Why is he so unlucky that he and Achie have their eyes on the same thing
And what a coincidence, this thing happened to appear just after the other party made that "bold statement".
If you give up shooting at this time, wouldn't you lose your face
It can also be seen from the reactions at the scene that such a high price has obviously deviated from the normal trajectory - this is no longer from the perspective of income, but the most troublesome battle of emotions.
Sure enough, the wealthy businessman from Azure Castle who held many properties stood up and turned to look at Xia Fan with a hint of sarcasm on his lips. "Mr. Defense Officer, the friend you brought here is quite wealthy. This is really beyond my expectation."
There was a burst of muffled laughter all around.
Lassein's expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"
"Don't mind, I'm just curious if people from the East are really so generous. Of course, I'm not interested in applying for notarization. That would waste everyone's time." Achie said, rubbing the ring on his hand, "I'm just I want to remind you and your friends that since the Holy Palace Auction has been held, there has not been a single fraudulent incident, and you should know the reason."
After speaking, he raised another blue hand card.
The crowd was in an uproar instantly!
"It turns out someone actually held this sign. I've learned a lot."
"No, it's just an art statue. Even if it's a royal inheritance, the price is too much!"
"What do you know? What Achie wants is fame, and the statue itself is just a bonus. I bet that all the taverns in Azure Castle will talk about this matter tomorrow."
The blue card is a special rule of the Holy Palace. When it is raised, it means that the price will be doubled on the current basis, and the bidding price of 258 will also be reset at the same time. In other words, this is a kind of showing off behavior when the financial resources are sufficient, and most people will choose to give in when faced with this kind of bidding.
"Four thousand two hundred gold coins!" The host was also excited. After all, his income mainly depends on the commission from the total auction amount. The more auctions he makes, the more he earns. "Royal treasures are worth owning - our old acquaintance Mr. Lumen , quoted a price of 4,200! Then will there be a new bid? 4,200... once!"
Xia Fan secretly sighed.
Of course there is enough money on board for more, but the more than 30,000 taels of silver already account for one-third of the reserves. At present, they have not even seen the Son of the Holy Spirit, and the church needs a large amount of money to donate. It may not be a good choice to invest money in a statue that is not sure whether it can solve the mystery of Qianyan's life experience.
While he was still thinking about it, a cold hand suddenly pressed on the back of his hand.
"Thank you. But there's no need to force it."
The speaker is none other than Qian Yan.
"I'm actually not that interested in my own life experience. It's quite nice to be a living dead in the Fang family. You'd better spend your money on business."
"For me, this is also a matter of business." Xia Fan shook his head.
"you… "
At this moment, the auction hall suddenly fell silent.
The three people who noticed everyone's strange gazes followed their peripheral vision and looked back, and found that the smiling man who had been silent before had also raised the plus card in his hand.
And it’s also a blue card!
"Eight, eight thousand and four hundred gold coins -" the host was stunned for a moment before reacting, "Mr. Smiling Face has a new offer! Is it possible that St. Blainey Palace is going to witness a miracle today, which has never happened in the Holy Wing Islands? A miracle? Please wait and see! Eight thousand four hundred, once!"
At this moment, there was a loud explosion in the hall.
Someone actually plans to challenge Achie publicly? This is a rare show.
As the saying goes, a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake, this is the same everywhere, not to mention that the eight thousand gold karn is not only a loss of face - for Achie, this is also a heartbreaking price.
You must know that in order to raise three thousand tuition fees, Olina did not hesitate to go to the East and became a spy for the church. And she was born in a count's family. Even if she fell into poverty, her situation was much better than that of ordinary civilians.
"Friend, are you sure you want to fight with me?" Achie stared at the smiling man coldly and asked. When he spoke, even the host kept his mouth shut - the so-called countdown was just to heighten the atmosphere. As long as the main customer did not nod, the host would not dare to announce the termination of bidding.
"Isn't this an auction?" The latter spread his hands, "The highest bidder gets it, that's all. Please don't misunderstand me, I don't want to compete with anyone, I just want to get what I like."
"What you want is to reserve the venue?"
"This guy's tone is too loud."
Others talked a lot.
And Xia Fan could only smile bitterly. If he had had the idea of giving it another try just now, now he had very little idea left - doubling it was so terrifying. In just two rounds of quotations, the amount had already reached him. An unbearable amount.
It is said that novices are easy to pick up things. Why can't he encounter such a good thing when he comes to the auction house for the first time
"Eight thousand six hundred—new bid, valid!" the host shouted again.
This time Azier raised a red card.
After all, the base price at this time is already quite astonishing, and the span of quadrupling is not at the same level as before. Even the famous boss of Azure Castle would not dare to shout with his eyes closed.
After returning to the normal bidding method, the increase will undoubtedly be much smoother. Just when everyone thought that this was an anxious and protracted battle, the smiling man once again raised the blue card lightly.
Seventeen thousand two hundred gold coins!
Even the host was dumbfounded this time.
Achie's face turned livid for a moment!
