Because this item is very expensive, everyone was very conservative when they first started bidding. Not only were their bids lower than the reserve price, but they were basically increasing by one or two million. The further the price went, the smaller the increase became, especially after the bid exceeded the reserve price of 30 million, everyone became even more conservative and cautious in their bidding.
Because when the bid exceeds the reserve price, it means the auctioneer may lose money.
Of course, because of the fame of this item, even if the price exceeds a little, the auctioneer will not lose too much. Moreover, in such an occasion, whether or not the item can be successfully auctioned is a matter of face. No one wants to appear to be weak in front of others, so the bidding is still going on...
"Thirty-eight million!" one of the wealthy businessmen shouted in a hoarse voice.
After hearing Mr. Sun's bid, everyone present looked at each other in shock. After a while, someone spoke up, "Forty million!!!"
Once the price exceeded 40 million, the expressions on everyone's faces began to waver, because the price exceeded the reserve price by too much, and at this point it would not be worth bidding even if they won the bid. So in an instant, only a few bidders were relatively wealthy and extremely interested in the item.
Su Yan was one of them: "Forty-five million!"
The price jumped directly to 45 million under such a high price situation, causing an uproar at the scene.
The auctioneer's voice was shaking with excitement. "Mr. Su Yan, number 60, bids forty-five million! Is there anyone else who wants to continue? Although the reserve price of our crown is thirty million, it is very rare in the world..."
In order to get a higher price, the auctioneer began to introduce the fame and value of the crown in various ways.
After forty-five million, there were only four people left bidding on the spot. In addition to Su Yan, there was Mr. Sun, the wealthy businessman who had coveted Ning Xi just now, and Zhao Haisheng, a rich young man who was planning to give the money to his wife Ling Fei. The identity of the other person was a bit special. He was Su Yan's half-brother Su Xun.
Needless to say, Su Xun's reason for bidding was purely to compete with Su Yan.
Anyone who knows a little about the circle knows that because Su Yan had lung disease since childhood and was in poor health, the Su family was afraid that he would not live to adulthood, so they took this illegitimate son Su Xun in. The idea was to train him as Su Yan's "spare tire". Once Su Yan died, Su Xun would take over.
Unfortunately, after Su Yan had been recuperating in the countryside for a few years, he not only did not die, but his health actually got better little by little, and he was finally taken back by the Su family.
Su Xun, who was originally trained as the heir, suddenly became an extremely embarrassing existence.
Now the two brothers are fighting each other in the Su family, but Su Yan is the eldest son and a legitimate son, so he has the legal status. Su Xun is in a very awkward situation now, but because of the connections he accumulated in his early years, he still has the strength to fight.
In such an occasion, the two brothers quarreled, which was also a big drama...
"Forty-six million!" Su Xun followed Su Yan and made an offer.
Su Yan: "Forty-seven million!"
Su Xun: "Forty-eight million!"
Su Yan: "Fifty million!"
Su Xun: "Five... fifty-five million!"
When Su Xun announced the price, many people present looked at him with a stunned expression. Just to prove himself, the second young master of the Su family did his best.
"Mr. Su Xun has offered a bid of 55 million! Any more? Mr. Zhao, do you want to continue?" The auctioneer looked in the direction of Zhao Haisheng.
Zhao Haisheng scratched his head, "Ahem... Wait a minute, I have to call my wife for instructions!"
There was laughter and ridicule at the scene.
