Master Doctor

Chapter 56 Bidding
Huo Qifu who was next to him heard it, but he just let out a cold snort, stood up, and walked to the lounge, here is to give Zhou Chao some color.

It's just that his face was slapped, but no one cared about his leaving. Of course, only a few people knew about these things.

"This collection is provided by the Meng family, a family of antiques. It is a seven-star lock from the Qianlong period. The starting price is 50 yuan, and the price will be increased by no less than [-] yuan each time!"

Two beauties in cheongsams lifted up a 25cm-high wooden box that looked hexagonal. It seemed to be made of nanmu, carved with patterns, and the workmanship was exquisite.

This kind of thing has been around since the Warring States period, and it was called Luban lock at first, and it was just regarded as a fun educational thing, but later someone opened up a space in it for collecting things.

It is a very popular furniture variety that emerged only in the Qing Dynasty. Its unique feature is that the cells are made into spaces that vary horizontally and vertically, unevenly and unevenly, and are used to store various items.

And the seven-star lock for this auction, when it was put away, was a neat square box shape, once it was opened, there should be something inside.

Anyone who has been around Binhai knows that this kind of thing is really hard to say, and everyone who plays antiques knows that opening a blind box will not end well.

So there were many people watching, but few bidders. Zhou Chao's mouth evoked a strange smile. It turned out that there really must be a hidden treasure, because the seven-star lock is permeated with this layer of aura, which must be a big leak.

The seven-star lock was delivered to the stage, and Huo Qifu cheered up and came out of it again. He came this time for one thing, although the first task did not go well, the second must be done.

Of course, the first and the second are all for picking up girls, but in his opinion, this is a different task!

This time his job was relatively easy, it was just asking the price, as for after asking the price, there would naturally be beautiful women who would come to sleep with him at night.

Of course, this task is to act as a trustee, raise the price of the Xu family's lot, and reach the ideal price.

"I'll pay 120 million!"

The auction had just started, and someone immediately raised a placard to shout the price, which directly doubled the value of this item. No matter how you look at it, it is fake!
"I offer 150 million!" "200 million..."

The price kept rising, and it passed 300 million in a short time. The number of bidders also changed from more to fewer, and it seemed to become dull. The people here are not old and mature. At first, there were people following them, but then they fell silent.

"Why don't you look at the things in your house?"

Zhou Chao was a little strange, it was clearly belonging to the Meng family, but as the head of the Meng family, he didn't even look at it!

"Although that thing is real, it also came from the Song Dynasty, but this seven-star lock is very difficult to open. I have invited many experts to fail."

"My second brother is really shameless. If someone buys and sells it, let it go, but to drive up the price here is really too much!"

Meng Chengli shook his head. An item that was only worth 80 million yuan was actually raised to 300 million yuan. He was still not satisfied. It seemed that he was about to throw it into his own hands.

It seems that the auctioneer above was also bought, and under constant pressure, it stopped when it reached about 300 million. Although there were bids, people with a discerning eye could tell that it was their own price!
When they were at a loss, Zhou Chao suddenly raised the signboard of [-] million. His voice was very lazy, and these people knew that this guy was playing tricks at a glance.

Shangguan Yu was surprised and asked Zhou Chao why he bought this thing. Zhou Chao didn't answer, but made a slap in the face, and Shangguan Yu immediately laughed.

Relying on the tacit understanding between the two, Shangguan Yu instantly understood that it was inconvenient for Huo Qifu to sit in front.But Zhou Chao's eyesight is absolutely fine, and he is not a reckless person, which means there is something in that seven-star lock!

Xu Ruoqing next to her stared wide-eyed, but she couldn't see the value of the seven-star lock, and she didn't know what Zhou Chao picked up this time.

Even Huo Qifu was puzzled, his face was full of question marks, he couldn't figure out why Zhou Chao bid for the auction.

But he also understood Zhou Chao's gestures, Zhou Chao had seen a flaw, could there be anything good in this seven-star lock?

But after all, he is just a pusher, since someone has bid, then he can give it a try!
"400 million! Zhou Chao, you just added [-] and you want to take this thing away?"

No matter what, he didn't want this thing to be taken away by Zhou Chao. Even if the price exceeded the expected price, Zhou Chao would have to bleed a little more.

"Four million and fifty thousand, I don't want to take this kind of thing away, but I have no objection if you want it!"

Zhou Chao didn't care, of course he had a very clear calculation in his heart, the things here are definitely more than ordinary items.

At this time, the people present almost knew that Huo Qifu was entrusted by the Meng family, and obviously deliberately raised the price to deceive Zhou Chao.

"500 million, but I declare that if you exceed 500 million, I will not follow you."

Of course Huo Qifu is not stupid, he is also afraid that this thing will be bought back again, but fortunately Zhou Chao is at the bottom, so he is not afraid.

Anyway, the price has far exceeded the highest estimate, and other people stopped bidding, and they all looked lively.

Zhou Chao looked at Huo Qifu coldly, he couldn't tell how annoyed he was, but this seven-star lock is a good thing and cannot be given to others.

"Five million and fifty thousand, it seems that you gave it to me on purpose, don't you regret it? But don't think I can't see it, are you a trustee?"

"Who said I'm trusting you, asking for 500 million is a little bit more, what's wrong with my liking?"

Zhou Chao was funny, but he didn't show what he wanted. The corner of his mouth raised a hint of mockery. He was prepared for this situation.

"If you have the ability, you continue to follow. If you don't follow, you will be a grandson. Let's see who gets this thing."

Huo Qifu cursed secretly, and immediately didn't dare to bid anymore, because he was a little suspicious of Zhou Chao's posture, obviously trying to provoke himself on purpose.

Huo Qifu cursed secretly, he wanted to make Zhou Chao bleed, but in the end he couldn't step down, let alone how angry he was.

"Congratulations to this gentleman! You have obtained this seven-star lock."

The auctioneer made the final decision and announced that the seven-star lock was successfully won by Zhou Chao.

"Zhou Chao, congratulations on winning this thing. I'm curious why you said I would regret it!"

Huo Qifu laughed. He felt that Zhou Chao had at least 100 million more this time, and he felt much better in his heart, looking for a balance.

It's just that he didn't expect that the stone in Zhou Chao's heart could be regarded as falling, and he was in a good mood. Even if it was ten times more than the 500 million, he had to take it down.

Many people present shook their heads repeatedly, looking at Zhou Chao as if they were looking at a fool, who was too young and inexperienced to hold his breath.

Zhou Chao was secretly happy, and didn't care what others thought of him at all.It won't be long before you will know how wise it is to buy this seven-star lock.

The auction continued, but Zhou Chao didn't sell any more. He sold half of the agarwood and got five thousand and five, and picked up an extremely special seven-star lock. He was already very satisfied, and one should not be too greedy.
