Daniel held the Buddhist staff in his hand, and as he shook it, the 12 golden rings produced a pleasant sound.
"My friends, I don't need to tell you that this is a Buddhist staff. It has a long history and was obtained by Sir Owen by chance. If any of you is destined to be a Buddhist monk, you can take it back with you. It will definitely bless your family and make your career prosperous …"
She said a lot, but if you looked closely, you would find nothing substantial. It was not that she didn't want to say it, but she really didn't know the origin of the staff.
This staff was indeed something that Sir Owen had obtained by chance. He had asked many experts in this field to identify it, but they could not find any useful information about its history and age. Sir Owen was a devout Christian, so he had no interest in collecting Buddhist artifacts. Therefore, he sold it at the auction.
Because of the uncertainty of the staff, the auction house put it behind the beast head, hoping that it could be sold at a good price because of the snake head.
However, the auction house didn't expect that the snake head, which they had high hopes for, was only sold for 6 million yuan.
Daniel continued, "Now the bidding for this staff starts. The starting price is 500,000 yuan, and each increment must be no less than 100,000 yuan. My friends who are destined to be a Buddhist can start bidding now!"
Although Qin Haodong had already chosen this staff, he had 500 years of experience. The more he wanted something, the more he had to be calm and the less he could show his desire. Therefore, he was not in a hurry to bid. He wanted to see other people's reactions. It would be best if no one was interested in it.
But as soon as Daniel finished speaking, Bao Mingyu raised the number plate in his hand and said, "I'll pay 800,000 yuan!"
Qin Haodong was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that this playboy would be interested in the staff.
The star was also very surprised and asked, "Master, it's obviously used by monks. Why do you want to buy it?"
Bao Mingyu said, "It's my grandfather's 80th birthday in a few days. He believes in Buddhism all his life, and his favorite things are Buddhist objects. I think this is a good thing. It's the best gift for him."
Qin Haodong heard his words clearly. No matter what the other party's purpose was, he had to get his hands on this Buddhist staff.
Except for the two of them, no one else had any interest in the staff. The people who came to the auction were experts in antiques. Naturally, they could see that the staff had no age or history, so there was not much room for it to rise in value.
Therefore, after the auction started, only a few people made a few bids, and then they all backed out.
The market gradually quieted down. Daniel said, "Mr. Bao has offered two million yuan. Is there anyone else interested? You only have one chance. There won't be another if you miss it …"
Qin Haodong saw that it was almost time. He raised the number plate in his hand and shouted, "I'll pay 5 million!"
After Bao Mingyu made his offer, there was an uproar in the hall. In everyone's eyes, Bao Mingyu had raised the price by three million yuan for an unknown object.
Many people shook their heads. This young man had offended Yi Chenzi and no one knew whether he would survive. Now he was here to argue with Bao Mingyu. They really didn't know what he was thinking.
Bao Mingyu was no exception. In his opinion, there was no need for Qin Haodong to buy this Buddhist staff at all. The reason why Qin Haodong raised the price was to humiliate him. He was furious.
He had already lost once. If he were to lose again, he would be too ashamed to stay in this industry.
"I'll pay 10 million!"
Bao Mingyu raised the price by five million at once.
But Qin Haodong didn't care about that at all. He was determined to get this Buddhist staff, so he shouted, "20 million …"
Daniel's lips curled into a smile. She was a little disappointed by the snake head just now, but it was just like the old saying in Huaxia, "What you lose on the swings, you gain on the mulberry." She never thought that this Buddhist staff would be sold for such a high price.
Although Qin Haodong raised the price by 10 million, Bao Mingyu didn't flinch. He shouted, "30 million …"
"40 million …"
Bao Mingyu gritted his teeth and said, "50 million …"
This price was already very high for him. If it wasn't a gift for his grandpa, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his family.
Qin Haodong looked at him with a smile and said lightly, "80 million …"
His voice was not loud, but it shocked the whole auction house. He raised the price by 30 million at once. Who on earth was this prodigal son who spent so much money on a monk's crutch? Did his family's money come from nowhere?
"You …"
Bao Mingyu was ashamed and angry. If he continued to raise the price, it would be almost 100 million yuan. Even if he could afford it, he didn't dare to raise the price easily. Who knew if Qin Haodong was trying to cheat him again?
Now he was in a dilemma. If he gave up now, he would be disgraced. If he continued to raise the price, he really couldn't afford it.
Feeling the sarcasm in the eyes of the people around him, his face became redder and redder. He was extremely embarrassed and he held the number plate tightly with his right hand. There were several times when he had the urge to jump up and down, but he was suppressed by reason.
Suddenly, he thought of something and shouted to Daniel on the stage, "Auctioneer, I want to verify the price. I think this guy has no money at all. He's just raising the price."
Qin Haodong didn't even have an invitation to the auction house before. It was already good enough for such a person to spend 6 million to buy the snakehead sculpture. How could he have enough money to compete with him, let alone take out 80 million yuan at once?
According to the rules of the auction house, he could ask to verify Qin Haodong's assets. As long as Qin Haodong had no money, not only would he win, but Qin Haodong would also be disgraced.
The more Bao Mingyu thought about it, the more proud he was. He felt that he was really smart.
At this time, Tian Ye walked to him and said, "Mr. Bao, Mr. Qin's assets don't need to be verified."
Bao Mingyu was immediately angry and shouted, "Why? According to the rules of your auction house, you can verify Qin Haodong's assets."
In his opinion, Qin Haodong was in cahoots with Tian Ye. He must have sneaked into the auction house through Tian Ye's connections.
Tian Ye said, "There are indeed relevant rules in the auction house, but Mr. Qin is a distinguished guest of our Li family. The money he needs to participate in the auction will be borne by us, and there is no upper limit!"
After Tian Ye's words, the whole auction house was in an uproar. What did it mean that there was no upper limit for capital consumption? Didn't it mean that he could buy whatever he wanted and the Li family would pay for it?
No one had expected that this young man would be treated so well. Who was he? How could he be valued by the Li family?
"Who the hell is this Qin brat? He has no upper limit for capital consumption. Isn't it amazing? "
"I guess he must be the illegitimate son of a big shot in Huaxia. Otherwise, the Li family would never try to please him …"
"Oh my god, he is so powerful. I want to marry him. I want to have children with him …"
Some people sneered at him. No matter how rich he was, what could he do? If he offended Master Yi Chenzi, he would definitely lose his life.
Bao Mingyu was already dumbfounded at this time. Qin Haodong had unlimited capital consumption in the auction house, but he was still fighting with Qin Haodong and trying to trample on Qin Haodong with money. Now he felt more and more like an idiot.
It was like playing a game. Qin Haodong had unlimited firepower and life, but Bao Mingyu insisted on fighting with him. How could he win?
After explaining the situation, Tian Ye left and Daniel said on the stage, "Mr. Qin bids 80 million yuan. Is there anyone else who wants to make a bid?"
The auction house was silent and no one made a sound. No one would compete with Qin Haodong for an auction item if they had too much money to spend. Besides, they didn't know what the item was used for.
After calling several times, no one responded. Daniel knocked the auction hammer in his hand and the monk's staff was now Qin Haodong's.
She was very happy. No matter who paid for Qin Haodong's consumption, she would get a commission. 80 million yuan was already the largest sum of money they had made at the auction tonight, which was enough to make up for the loss of the snake head.
The last item was sold and today's auction was completely over. The guests who participated in the auction began to leave the auction house.
Yi Chenzi stood up, glanced at Qin Haodong with killing intent, and then walked out. In his opinion, this young man was already a dead man, but it was not convenient for him to kill him in the auction house.
Qin Haodong had already received the two collections. He was holding the box with the snake head in his hand and the monk's staff was in Nalan Wushuang's hands.
He was now sure that this monk's staff was a divine weapon, but it looked a little strange in the hands of a beautiful woman like Nalan Wushuang.
After the auction, he was not in a hurry to leave. He said to Tian Ye, "Manager Tian, is it convenient for you? I have something to tell you. "
Tian Ye sighed and said, "Mr. Qin, please come to my office and sit for a while."
In his opinion, Qin Haodong must have asked him for help because of Yi Chenzi.
Li Meiyu had told him that the young man in front of him was a super distinguished guest of the Li family and he must meet all his requirements.
There was no other way but to send all the security forces of the auction house to protect Qin Haodong's safety. But there was little hope that they could stop Master Yi Chenzi.
As a native of Hong Kong, Master Mei Zhanlong and Yi Chenzi were like immortals in their hearts. How could ordinary people compete with immortals?
In his opinion, it was very unwise for Qin Haodong to offend Yi Chenzi for a snake head.
Qin Haodong followed Tian Ye to his office. After sitting down, he asked, "Manager Tian, do you know Sir Owen?"
