Xia Ruofei didn't know what was so special about this last pair of Blood Red Dragons, but he was keenly aware of the subtle changes in Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin's expressions.
These were all smart people! So Xia Ruofei consciously put this pair of Blood Red Dragons at the end of the auction.
Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin unexpectedly didn't bid directly. Instead, they showed a thoughtful expression, as if they were thinking about what price to bid.
On the other hand, Xu Desheng thought for a moment and immediately called out a price, "Six million!"
Xu Desheng also knew that it was meaningless to bid a low price. Moreover, every pair of Blood Red Dragons that Xia Ruofei brought out was worth this price, so he simply bid 6 million.
Li Zongheng thought for a moment and said with a smile, "This is the last pair. I can't give it to you so easily! Xiao Xia, I bid 6.5 million! "
Li Zongheng suddenly raised the price by 500,000, which made Xu Desheng feel a little depressed. This pair of Blood Red Dragons was actually similar to the first pair of Blood Red Dragons. After several rounds of bidding, the first pair rose to the price of 6.5 million.
However, this was the last pair. It was understandable that Li Zongheng was a little anxious, so Xu Desheng didn't think too much about it.
The skinny old man Guo Qinglin also said with a smile, "Director Li, I really like this pair of Blood Red Dragons. How about this, I bid 6.8 million!"
Xu Desheng couldn't help but open his mouth wide. He thought to himself, Why are these two so fierce? Can we still be friends happily?
Although the people present didn't lack money, as business elites, these people would never be spendthrifts. On the contrary, most of the time, they were very careful with their money. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to make such a big fortune.
Xu Desheng really didn't understand.
But just like what Li Zongheng had said, this was the last pair. Blood Red Dragons of this quality were hard to come by. It was already a miracle that six of them had appeared at once. What if they missed this opportunity and didn't have another one?
Xu Desheng was also very fond of this pair of blood-red dragons.
After struggling inwardly for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Old Guo, Manager Li, I'll pay 7 million! If your bid is higher than this, I will withdraw from the competition … "
Ling Xiaotian laughed as she watched the fun. Yang Dahua and Xie Xun, who had already bought the Blood Red Dragon, were also relaxed. In any case, they couldn't bid for it. Everyone was happy to see Xu Desheng and the others fighting over it.
Xia Ruofei glanced at Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin thoughtfully with a faint smile on his face.
This price was already very high, but Xia Ruofei had a feeling that whether it was Li Zongheng or Guo Qinglin, they would definitely not give up so easily.
Sure enough, Guo Qinglin only thought for a moment and said decisively, "Manager Xu, I'm sorry, but I really like this pair of blood-red dragons. I'll pay 7.5 million!"
Xu Desheng sighed and shrugged as he walked to the side. Obviously, he wasn't going to bid anymore.
It was true that he didn't lack money, but his money didn't grow on trees. He wouldn't be spendthrifts.
Even Ling Xiaotian, Xie Xun, and Yang Dahua looked surprised. Obviously, they didn't expect the price to be so high.
As for Li Zongheng, when Guo Qinglin made the bid, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and glance at Guo Qinglin thoughtfully.
Li Zongheng lowered his head and thought for a moment. Then, he raised his head decisively and said, "Xiao Xia, I'll pay 8.5 million!"
After that, Li Zongheng looked at Guo Qinglin with shining eyes.
Ling Xiaotian and the others gasped. Although the best blood-red dragons were priceless, Li Zongheng's bid obviously exceeded the actual value of the fish.
When the price reached 7.5 million, it was already a very high price. However, Li Zongheng increased the price by 1 million in one breath. This made Ling Xiaotian and the others feel a little incredulous.
In their impression, Li Zongheng was a very calm and humble person. He didn't seem like the kind of person who would be impulsive!
Could it be that this pair of blood-red dragons was the last pair, and Li Zongheng really wanted to get it, so he purposely increased the price by 1 million to show his determination to get it and make Guo Qinglin retreat?
After thinking about it, Ling Xiaotian and the others could only think of this reason.
Xie Xun and Yang Dahua couldn't help but secretly rejoice. Fortunately, they had made a move early and bought the first and second pairs. Otherwise, when it came to the last pair, they would have to fight Li Zongheng to the death. That would really be a big loss.
Especially Xie Xun. Including the 2 million he lost in the bet, he actually spent 8.5 million for the blood-red dragons. This was exactly the same as Li Zongheng's bid.
Thinking of this, Xie Xun's depression seemed to lessen a lot.
When Guo Qinglin heard Li Zongheng's bid, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Then, he frowned slightly.
Li Zongheng still looked at Guo Qinglin with a smile. Now that Xu Desheng had withdrawn from the competition, as long as Guo Qinglin gave up, the pair of blood-red dragons would be his.
Li Zongheng looked relaxed, but in fact, he was still a little nervous. Especially when Guo Qinglin looked at the blood-red dragons that hadn't been decided yet, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat. He had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Guo Qinglin quickly said, "9 million!"
This time, even Ling Xiaotian felt that something was wrong. She looked suspiciously at Li Zongheng, who had a bitter smile on his face, and Guo Qinglin, who looked calm, and said, "Mr. Guo, Mr. Li, what are you doing? Do you have too much money to burn? "
At this time, Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "Uncle Ling, Mr. Guo and Mr. Li are smart people. They naturally have their own reasons for bidding …"
After that, Xia Ruofei also looked at Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin.
Li Zongheng said with a bitter smile, "It seems that Mr. Guo and Xiao Xia have already seen through it. I thought I had sharp eyes …"
Guo Qinglin smiled and said, "Mr. Li, it's worth it to spend more money on good things …"
Ling Xiaotian also came back to his senses. He took two steps to the front of the plastic finishing box and lowered his head to examine it carefully.
After looking at it for a while, he took out a small flashlight from his hand. However, this flashlight emitted a red light. Obviously, it was specially used to observe the Red arowana's hair color.
If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the two precious blood-red dragons, Ling Xiaotian would have fished them out to take a closer look.
Not long after, Ling Xiaotian finally let out a cry of surprise. "Purple Crimson Dragon? And it's a myriad of colors? Mr. Guo, Mr. Li, your eyes are too sharp! "
Guo Qinglin said with a smile, "What's the use of having good eyes? Even Xiao Xia knows in his heart that it's impossible for us to pick up a bargain! "
Li Zongheng also said with a bitter smile, "I think the real smart one is Xiao Xia! He obviously knew that Mr. Guo and I were eyeing this pair of Arowana, but he didn't say anything. He even auctioned off the other two pairs first … "
Xie Xun's eyes widened. He said, "Mr. Ling, are you sure? Are they really Purple Red Dragons that have reached the level of myriad of colors? "
"Of course!" Ling Xiaotian said, "When have my eyes ever been wrong?"
"Tsk … Why didn't you see it just now? How dare you say that you've never been wrong? "Xie Xun said mercilessly. He was still sharp-tongued.
Ling Xiaotian blushed and argued, "You didn't let me participate in the auction just now. How could I have the time to look carefully?"
Xia Ruofei was a little confused. He couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Ling, what's the deal with Purple Red Dragons? What's with the myriad of colors? "
Ling Xiaotian, Xie Xun, Li Zongheng, and Guo Qinglin all widened their eyes and asked at the same time, "You don't know?"
Xia Ruofei shrugged and said, "Should I know?"
Li Zongheng asked, "Then just now, you …"
Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I just saw that you and Mr. Guo didn't look right, and your eyes glanced at this pair of Red Arowana a few times. My intuition told me that this pair of Red Arowana is not simple, that's all …"
Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin looked at each other and smiled bitterly at the same time. They were experienced people, but they actually showed their flaws in front of a young man.
Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin didn't notice each other's eyes on this pair of Red Arowana, but Xia Ruofei saw it. It was really embarrassing.
Ling Xiaotian was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Zongheng and laughed.
Li Zongheng said gloomily, "Old Ling, Xia Ruofei asked you a question! Why are you laughing like an idiot … "
Ling Xiaotian slowly stopped laughing, and after a while, he said to Xia Ruofei, "Ruofei, your pair of Red Arowana must have undergone a small mutation, because they haven't fully matured yet, so it's not very obvious, but it can be seen clearly under the red light."
After that, Ling Xiaotian turned on his red flashlight and shone it on the Red Arowana. He pointed at the place where the light was shining and said, "Look … outside the red, there is a layer of light purple, and this purple area almost covers all the scales. The red and purple colors complement each other. This is the Bright Purple Red Dragon we're talking about, and it's the highest grade Bright Purple Red. When this kind of Red Dragon reaches adulthood, it's very beautiful to keep in an ornamental fish tank with a red light. "
Guo Qinglin on the side laughed and added, "Xia Ruofei, there are cheaper Bright Purple Red Dragons, and they can be bought at the market for a few hundred thousand yuan each. What's rare about yours is that the red color is very thick, and the purple is very clear. And the fish itself, whether it's the head, the arching back, the hair color, or other aspects, is almost perfect. Such a Bright Purple Red Dragon is very rare. I've been playing with Red Arowana for decades, and to be honest, this is the first time I've seen one."
Since there was no chance to pick it up, Guo Qinglin simply explained it to Xia Ruofei in detail.
Xia Ruofei nodded after listening, and felt that he had learned a lot.
To be honest, the purple color of the Red Arowana was not obvious yet, and Xia Ruofei didn't notice any difference when he was choosing fish in the space. He didn't expect there to be so much to pay attention to.
And Guo Qinglin and Li Zongheng were actually able to see the difference with their naked eyes, which made Xia Ruofei secretly admire them even more.
Ling Xiaotian laughed and said, "Okay! Now there's no need to hide it. Old Guo, Manager Li, you can continue to bid! "
Xie Xun, who was on the side, said, "This is a Bright Purple Red Dragon! We should be able to bid too! If I had known there was a Bright Purple Red Dragon, I definitely wouldn't have bought this pair! "
After Xie Xun said that, even Yang Dahua and Ling Xiaotian showed a look of interest.
Everyone was not short of money, and the Red Arowana itself was extremely rare, and with the layer of purple hair, it was even more difficult to find. Even Ling Xiaotian couldn't help but want to snatch it away.
Li Zongheng quickly said, "Don't even think about it! You've already bought the fish, so don't think about eating the fish in the bowl and thinking about the pot! And Old Ling, don't join in the fun. You're the host today, so act like one. Don't compete with us! "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "Uncle Ling, you don't have to participate … And Manager Xie, Manager Yang, since we've agreed that each person can only buy one pair, let's follow the rules of the game!"
Li Zongheng immediately said proudly, "This Arowana is Xiao Xia's, so we'll all listen to him! I say, Old Xie, Old Yang, you have bad taste, so don't blame me … "
At this time, Xu Desheng suddenly said, "I haven't bought it yet, so I can also participate in the bidding!"
Li Zongheng was stunned and said, "Didn't you already withdraw?"
"If it was the same Red Arowana as the previous two pairs, I would definitely withdraw if the price was eight or nine million!" Xu Desheng said with a smile. "But isn't this a Bright Purple Red Dragon? Maybe I'll have to compete with you! "
After that, Xu Desheng didn't wait for Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin to speak. He said, "I'll round it up to ten million!"
After that, Xu Desheng smiled and asked Xia Ruofei, "Xiao Xia, I don't think I'm breaking the rules by bidding, right?"
The more they competed, the happier Xia Ruofei was, so he immediately said with a smile, "No, no, you can bid!"
Li Zongheng and Guo Qinglin had no choice but to accept the reality.
However, they naturally wouldn't be conservative about the price. Li Zongheng thought for a while and said, "Eleven million!"
"12 million!" Guo Qinglin followed up with an even higher bid.
Now, they were all increasing the price by one million, and the average price of this pair of Red Arowana was six million each, which had already broken the record of five million two years ago.
Xu Desheng thought for a while and said, "Thirteen million!"
Li Zongheng smiled and said, "I'll round it up! Fifteen million! "
Xia Ruofei's heart was a little shaken. It was just two fish, but the price was already fifteen million!
Guo Qinglin and Xu Desheng both showed a dignified expression. Obviously, this was close to the highest price they had in mind.
After thinking for a long time, Xu Desheng said, "Fifteen million and five hundred thousand, I don't want any higher …"
Guo Qinglin frowned slightly and looked at Li Zongheng, then said, "Sixteen million!"
Xu Desheng smiled bitterly and looked at the pair of Arowana in the plastic box with some reluctance. Then, he shook his head and stepped aside.
Li Zongheng gritted his teeth and said, "Old Guo, I'll bid seventeen million! You're a senior. If you can still offer a higher price, I can only reluctantly give up my treasure … "
Guo Qinglin smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Li!"
After that, he looked at Xia Ruofei with clear eyes and said, "Xiao Xia, I'll make up an auspicious number! 18.88 million! "
