Su Hanyue was stunned and said: "Ten million? Is it so valuable?"
They only spent 200,000 yuan to buy this thing, but they can earn fifty times as soon as it is resold?
"Well, it can't be wrong."
Long Bufan looked at the root carving in his hand and said with some regret, "It's a pity that the preservation method is a little wrong. Maybe it was soaked in water so the color is a bit darker, otherwise it would be more valuable, but..."
Long Bufan stopped mid-sentence. He weighed the root carving and frowned slightly. It felt like something was wrong.
Xia Tian, who was sitting next to him, sneered, "Just ten million for this? Are you two crazy about money?"
"All the auction items here have been appraised by experts. If they are really worth 10 million, the starting price will be at least 5 million. Do you think you can be better than those professionals?"
She shook her head in disdain, wondering if Su Hanyue's mind was broken and she could actually fall in love with a waste like Long Bufan.
After listening to Xia Tian's words, Su Hanyue also felt that it was a bit impossible. The auction house would never do loss-making business. If it was really worth ten million, the starting price could not be only tens of thousands.
"I see."
Long Bufan shook his head and smiled bitterly. He felt something was wrong with this thing just now, but he didn't see it for a while. It wasn't until just now that he realized that the weight was wrong.
The texture of agarwood is hard and the weight is heavier than ordinary wood in the same volume. What's more, this is a century-old agarwood. Even this small piece will be extra heavy on the hand, like gold.
But this root carving was much lighter. Long Bufan found some pinpoint-sized holes in the base. It seemed that it had been eaten away by insects due to improper preservation. No wonder it was so cheap.
Long Bufan sighed. He guessed that the auction house had known about this for a long time, but the people in the audience couldn't see anything wrong with this thing on the stage. It seemed that the 200,000 yuan was wasted.
The conversation between Long Bufan and others was heard by people nearby. A middle-aged man wearing glasses stared closely at the root carving in Long Bufan's hand and hesitated: "Mr. Long, can you show me this ancient Buddha?"
"
Long Bufan directly handed the thing over. It wasn't a valuable thing anyway, so it didn't hurt to let others see it.
The middle-aged man placed the root carving in front of him and looked at it carefully. After a while, he shouted excitedly: "A hundred-year-old agarwood! It's a hundred-year agarwood!"
Everyone present was attracted by the sound and looked over.
"Holy crap! It's really a century-old agarwood!"
"Such a big piece must be worth at least 10 to 20 million. If I had known, I would have bought it even if I lost all my money just now..."
"What a pity, why didn't I see it just now..."
Everyone took turns playing with it, and the looks they looked at Long Bufan changed from ridicule to jealousy.
I bought 10 to 20 million worth of century-old agarwood for only 200,000 yuan. I don’t know if Long Bufan really knows the goods or just got lucky.
Several people had already come to Long Bufan and whispered: "Brother Long, I like this thing very much. How about this? I am the chairman of Anyang Group. As long as you are willing to sell it to me for two million, I guarantee that Anyang Group will
This is your home!”
"Are you kidding me? You want to buy something worth tens of millions for only two million? I'll give you five million!"
"I'll pay seven million!"
"Eight million!"
Everyone bid for the price one after another. Su Hanyue and Xia Tian were stunned on the spot. Is this really worth so much money?
But Long Bufan just shook his head, "Forget it, I won't sell this thing."
Others only saw that it was a hundred-year-old agarwood, but he was the only one who knew that the inside of this piece of material had been eaten away by insects. It only cost more than 100,000 yuan to survive. It was not worth so much money. Besides, he was not short of money, so there was no need to deceive others.
.
But everyone who didn't know the truth just thought that Long Bufan was not satisfied with the price, but they couldn't afford a higher price, so they could only reluctantly return the things to Long Bufan.
Wang Hainian hadn't paid much attention to this place at first, but the successive bids from several people just now made him a little confused, so he brought someone over to ask.
One of the onlookers said in an envious tone, "Didn't that Long Bufan just spend 200,000 yuan to buy a root carving ornament? Everyone thought it was rubbish, but who knew that it was carved from agarwood that was a hundred years old? Listen to them
It’s worth at least one to twenty million…”
"They wanted to spend money to buy it, but Long Bufan was unwilling to sell it because the price was low. I have to say that this guy's luck is really good."
Wang Hainian's nose was almost twisted when he heard these words. He had made a bid just now, but he thought it was rubbish. The bid was purely to make Long Bufan spend more money. He didn't expect this thing to be so valuable.
Even if you know what he says, you will take it down!
The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so he pushed away the people blocking his way and came to Long Bufan, "Long Bufan, it was your turn because I was late in bidding, so this thing should be mine. I will give you two hundred thousand,
Give me the root carving!"
Long Bufan glanced at him and couldn't help but smile, "It seemed like you gave up on your own just now, right?"
"Besides, no matter if you are slow or something, this thing belongs to me now. Do you still want to grab it directly?"
Others also looked at Wang Hainian with contempt. None of them wanted to take advantage of this, but since no one knew the goods during the auction, they had no right to make irresponsible remarks after the auction.
They still wanted to pay for it, but Wang Hainian didn't pay a penny more and actually wanted to buy it back at the original price. Isn't this bullying?
But due to the strength of the Tianwang Group, they could only curse a few words in their hearts.
Wang Hainian was also a little embarrassed. He continued with a cold face: "This thing should have been mine, but it got into your hands because of a small mistake. That's fine, I'll give you two million, and you can take it."
Give me something!”
"It only took you half an hour to get the thing, but you made 1.8 million in a second hand. Long Bufan, I advise you not to be too greedy."
As Wang Hainian spoke, he took out a check for two million, and his other hand was already reaching out to grab something.
Long Bufan withdrew his hand holding the root carving, leaving Wang Hainian in vain. At the same time, he frowned and said, "Just grab it, right?"
"Wang Hainian, I'll say it again, I'm not selling this thing. I'm doing it for your own good, so don't go too far."
Wang Hainian's face was so gloomy that water could drip from his face. He took a deep breath and said, "Long Bufan, I advise you to be more sensible. There will be no good in offending me!"
Seeing that the other party was so arrogant and unreasonable, Long Bufan was a little unhappy, but then he suddenly had an idea, so he looked at Wang Hainian with interest and asked: "I want to remind you, this eagle may not be as good as you think.
It’s valuable, but even so, do you still want this thing?”
"Cut the nonsense!"
Wang Hainian just thought that Long Bufan was making excuses for himself, so he said impatiently: "Tell me, how can you give me this thing!"
