"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, why is he competing with us again?" Seeing that it was still the Japanese man who bid, Su Shuizhen said very unhappily, because so far, it seemed that this Japanese man was the only one who had bid with them. The previous ring was also increased by him, so it became 400,000, and the starting price of the bag was 150,000. After Li Huailin bid, no one else bid again, so it was also sold at the base price. So far, only this person had competed with them. Su Shuizhen … was very unhappy.
"Okay, brother-in-law, I will shout at him." Li Huailin said immediately, and then stood up and shouted, "2 million."
There was no exclamation around, because everyone knew how much this ring cost, and 2 million was considered low. But hearing the shout, the Japanese man here glanced at Li Huailin. It was obvious that he also remembered Li Huailin. The ring that he wanted was snatched by Li Huailin, so he had to admit that he was also a little resentful.
"2.5 million." The Japanese man here immediately raised his paddle and shouted.
"This gentleman bids 2.5 million." The auctioneer here immediately said that this was already a relatively suitable price. It seemed that this auction was very good, and he had basically met the target, so he was also very happy. Of course, if possible, he still wanted to go further. "Is there a higher price?"
"Well, how much money do we have now?" Li Huailin turned his head and asked, mainly to ask Su Ruoyan next to him.
"You got 3.5 million before, and I have 400,000 here." Su Ruoyan said. It was not that she had no money, but that she had not had time to exchange it. Her assets were now in the domestic bank, and even if she wanted to transfer them, it was too late. She had originally brought 400,000, because the total value of the ring that she wanted before was only 250,000. If it was more expensive, Su Ruoyan did not intend to buy it, and the current situation was definitely beyond her expectations. "The previous auction used 550,000, so now we have 3.35 million left."
"Oh, then 3 million." After asking about the price, Li Huailin raised his hand again. Although he did not want to use Su Ruoyan's money, there was nothing he could do now. His money was also in the domestic bank.
"Okay, this gentleman bids 3 million." The auctioneer said a little happily, "Thank you, sir. Is there a higher price?"
The face of the Japanese man on this side was a little ugly, because 3 million was already the highest valuation of this ring, and anything higher was basically fake. The Japanese man on this side was also very unhappy with Li Huailin, who was always against him, but this time, he did not intend to give up directly. If there was one, then there was two, but there was no three. This time, he was crazy. Wasn't it just throwing money at him?
"3.5 million." The Japanese man gritted his teeth and shouted directly.
"Okay, this gentleman bids 3.5 million again." The auctioneer was overjoyed. This had already exceeded his expectations. He immediately looked at Li Huailin here. If the two sides fought, it would be great. He didn't know how much this ring could be sold. The Japanese man here was obviously in the zone, so he immediately looked at Li Huailin's side.
But to his disappointment, Li Huailin didn't seem to have any reaction, because Li Huailin … really had no money. Although the current situation was a little embarrassing, it was even more embarrassing to shout that he couldn't pay.
"Hahahaha …" Seeing this situation, the Japanese man here immediately stood up and said with a smile, "You can't even shout with just 3.5 million? I thought you were a big shot. If you don't have money, don't come here. Let me tell you, this is not a place for people like you."
"…" The whole venue suddenly quieted down. Of course, Li Huailin didn't do anything. It was the people around him who quieted down. Everyone looked at the Japanese man with an inexplicable expression. Their faces were full of shock, as if this guy had done something extraordinary.
"Didn't anyone tell Mr. Sato?" A white man next to him whispered to the person in the next seat.
"It seems that someone is playing with him." The man also replied in a low voice.
The auctioneer didn't notice the strange situation here. Since Li Huailin didn't make a bid, of course, he started to count. "Now, this gentleman's bid is 3.5 million. Is there no higher bid? 3.5 million going once … 3.5 million … "
Before he finished speaking, suddenly a person came in from the side door of the venue, and then walked directly toward Mr. Sato here. As he ran, he shouted, "Wait, Mr. Sato."
"Well, what's the matter?" Sato asked a little strangely.
The man ran straight to Sato's side, then lowered his head and said a few words in Sato's ear. Sato was a little stunned, "What? Now? "
"Yes." The man replied immediately.
"En …" Although Sato was a little puzzled, he thought about it and nodded. "Understood. Auctioneer, please wait. I have something urgent to deal with here. I will come right away."
"Ai?" The auctioneer was a little stunned. He had never encountered such a situation. Could it be … that there was a problem with the funds? He didn't dare to bid now. If something happened, it would be bad.
Sato didn't care what the auctioneer thought. Anyway, after saying this, Sato hurriedly walked out. As soon as he walked to the door, Sato hurriedly asked, "Where is Mr. Magill?"
"Just in front …" said the young man who led the way.
"Okay …" Sato just wanted to walk forward, but he suddenly saw two people coming toward him, one on the left and one on the right. Sato was a little stunned, but he was also a person who had seen the wind and waves. He immediately realized that something was wrong. "Who are you! You … "
Before he finished speaking, the young man who led the way standing next to him took out a black thing from his pocket, pressed it on Sato's back, and then turned on the switch. "Buzz, buzz, buzz." The sound of the electric current sounded. Sato lost consciousness in an instant. His whole body fell down, but halfway down, two big men came over and held him directly on the left and right.
"Take him away." The young man waved his hand and said to the two men.
Without saying anything, Sato was directly dragged away by the two men. There was also a change in the auction. Everyone was waiting for the development of things. As a result, as soon as Sato went out, a person immediately ran to the side of the auctioneer and began to communicate with the auctioneer in a low voice.
"What?" The auctioneer was a little stunned. "Really?"
"Yes, it has been confirmed." The man replied, "That's what Mr. Cohen meant too."
"Okay, I understand." The auctioneer here had a slight headache. He did not expect such an emergency to occur at the end of the auction. This was killing him, but there was nothing he could do. After organizing his words, the auctioneer said into the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have encountered a little accident now … After verification, we found that Mr. Sato Yoshiaki who made the previous bid was actually unable to pay the amount he bid. Mr. Sato has been asked to leave by our security because he caused trouble at the auction. From now on, the Westin Auction House will prohibit Mr. Sato from entering all of our auction houses. Now, Mr. Sato has been taken away by the police. So after our auction house's research, the previous bid was invalid. This' Marilla Monroe Diamond Ring 'will now be called for a new bid. On behalf of the Westin Auction House, I apologize for the trouble caused … "
After saying that, the auctioneer directly bowed.
However, the people below were very calm, and some even showed an expression as if they had expected it. Wasn't it funny that Sato Yoshiaki couldn't pay 3.5 million? After all, he was the boss of a company with hundreds of millions of US dollars. 3.5 million was indeed a lot for him, but to say that he couldn't afford it … was too fake.
However, so many people below did not question the auctioneer at all. Some of them knew the situation, so they cooperated with the auctioneer. The others did not know the situation because they had not reached this level yet. However, when they saw that the other people who were older than them did not move, they did not move either. The scene quieted down again.
"This …" The auctioneer was a little overwhelmed by this kind of reaction. What was going on today? Why was everyone so strange? After thinking about it, he could not let the silence continue. So, he said again, "Then, let's start the bidding again. I will not introduce the item anymore. The starting price is 1 million US dollars, and each increment must be no less than 100,000. Now …"
"Ugh … one million?" Li Huailin raised his hand.
"Okay, this gentleman bids one million. Is there a higher price than this?" The auctioneer said immediately. Sure enough, Li Huailin still wanted to buy it.
But after this sentence was said, the scene was silent … No one responded at all …
"Ai?" The auctioneer was stunned. Not to mention the other things, just the diamond on this diamond ring was worth two million. It would never depreciate if it was placed at home. You won't lose anything by buying it for two million. Why didn't anyone respond?
"The current bid is one million. Is there a higher price?" The auctioneer asked again.
The scene was silent again. No one seemed to be interested in this diamond ring. Some people seemed to be waiting to leave.
"This …" The auctioneer wanted to cry but had no tears. What should I do? I sold this item that is worth three million at the lowest price. Isn't this a big problem for me?
"Hey, can you hurry up? I have to leave …" The one who spoke was not Li Huailin, but another guest sitting below. This was the last item, so he had already decided not to buy it and was ready to leave.
"This … well, this gentleman bids one million. One million going once …"
