Jiang Chen raised the price to 30 million as soon as he opened his mouth!
The whole place went silent!
It took the host a good while to come to himself!
Holding the microphone, he shouted loudly and excitedly, "30 million.
Mr. No.7 has offered 30 million. Is there anyone else who would like to offer a higher price? If there is, please raise your paddle! "
The people on the scene looked at each other. No one raised their paddle!
Although these people were all billionaires, there was still a huge gap between them and Jiang Chen!
Besides, Jiang Chen raised his paddle and offered 30 million. No one had the nerve to compete with him!
Only the richest people like Hu Tianhua had the nerve to compete with him.
But he knew Jiang Chen's real identity. If he dared to compete with Jiang Chen, he would be courting death!
Hu Tianhua congratulated Jiang Chen with a smile, "Director Jiang, this ruby necklace is yours for sure. Congratulations!"
Jiang Chen smiled faintly and nodded.
At this moment, in the distance, a middle-aged man's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot when he had seen Jiang Chen offer 30 million!
It was him who had offered 16 million.
He hadn't expected Jiang Chen to offer 30 million right away!
He was under great pressure!
At the same time, he felt embarrassed!
The next moment, he raised his paddle and shouted, "I bid 31 million!"
At this moment, the host on the platform became even more excited!
"31 million. Mr. No.66 has offered 31 million. Is there anyone else who would like to offer a higher price?"
For him, the higher the price of the necklace, the more he would get.
He wished Jiang Chen and this man could have a "bloody fight to the end!"
Jiang Chen glanced at the middle-aged man.
"Who's that guy?"
Hu Tianhua hurried to say, "Director Jiang, his name is Zhang Yuping. He's a real estate developer in Anhua City. He has billions in assets. He's a rich man. Looks like he wants this necklace, too."
"Oh."
Jiang Chen nodded. He understood.
When Jiang Anran found out that this ruby necklace actually cost tens of millions, her little heart kept pounding.
"Brother, this necklace is too expensive. I don't want it!"
After all, this necklace was worth tens of millions. It was worth half a villa at most!
It was too expensive!
Jiang Chen smiled. "It's okay. It's only tens of millions."
Then he raised his paddle and said, "40 million."
Boom!
The crowd was shocked again!
Who on earth was this Jiang Chen?
Every time he bid, he would raise the price by ten million. He was really awesome!
Everyone present turned their heads to look at Jiang Chen.
They were extremely curious!
Who on earth was this guy?
Tens of millions in one go?
How could he be so generous?!
Standing on the stage, the host was also very excited.
Holding a microphone, he shouted, "40 million, Mr. No.7, 40 million. Is there a higher bid?"
This time, all the tycoons in the hall fell silent.
Even the rich people who had competed with Jiang Chen didn't raise their paddles anymore.
They were discouraged!
After all, the most valuable part of a ruby necklace was the ruby.
At 40 million, it was already the limit!
If they continued to compete, they would run the risk of being tricked, such as raising the price maliciously.
So the rich man threw his paddle down. His face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He didn't speak anymore.
"40 million, once!"
"40 million, twice!"
"Sold!"
The host made the final decision. He hurried to say, "Mr. No.7 won the ruby necklace today for 40 million!
Would this gentleman please come on the stage and take a picture with us?
Please give him a round of applause! "
As he spoke, the male host started to applaud himself.
The atmosphere was livened up soon. The audience burst into thunderous applause!
They were also very curious about who on earth Jiang Chen was!
However, Jiang Chen, sitting in the front row, said calmly, "Forget about the picture.
"Forget about the photo, I'm not interested. Bring the ruby necklace to the backstage, I'll pay the bill."
As he spoke, Jiang Chen pulled Jiang Anran to his feet.
"Let's go backstage to get the necklace."
On the stage, the host smiled awkwardly. He gave some instructions to the audience and then returned to the main topic.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to the next auction item …"
.....
At the backstage of the auction.
This was a large hall used for transactions and payments for auction items.
Jiang Chen and Jiang Anran had already arrived.
Hu Tianhua followed them. After all, he had to do his best as Jiang Chen's follower.
He would have to rely on Jiang Chen's help in the future.
As a businessman, he had to be tactful. Only when he had connections could he make money.
At this moment, there were many staff at the backstage of the auction. They were sorting out the auction items and some paperwork.
At this moment.
A young and pretty woman in a cheongsam walked over slowly.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang. We've prepared a ruby necklace in our trading room. Please follow me."
"Okay."
Jiang Chen nodded slightly. Then he followed the woman into a trading room.
By then, the ruby necklace had been packaged. It was on a counter together with some authentication certificates.
Several staff were waiting.
One of them was a gentle-looking man wearing glasses. He smiled respectfully when he saw Jiang Chen coming, and he said to him,
"Mr. Jiang, please make the payment here. Once you've made the payment, we'll give you the appraisal report and this ruby necklace will be yours."
Jiang Chen nodded. He was ready to pay.
However, before he paid, he glanced at the ruby necklace!
It would have been fine if he hadn't seen it, but as soon as he had seen it, he knew it was a big deal!
Jiang Chen found this ruby necklace was a little different from the one on the auction stage!
Jiang Chen was a great man. Even a small flaw couldn't escape his eyes!
This ruby necklace had been replaced!!
Jiang Chen's expression turned cold immediately!
"Mr. Jiang, what's wrong with you?"
The man in glasses asked with an odd expression, as if he had sensed something.
"What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Chen said with a cold smile, "Is your auction house so despicable? This ruby necklace is obviously a fake! "
The man in glasses turned pale immediately!
They had indeed swapped it, but what replaced the previous 40 million yuan ruby was a 5 million yuan top-grade ruby!
Average people wouldn't have been able to tell the difference!
However, this man called Jiang Chen could tell there was something wrong with it at first glance?
Why on earth?
The man in glasses said with a forced smile, his face twitching.
"Sir, we definitely don't have any fake goods here. Please watch your language!"
"Heh, heh, yeah?"
Smiling calmly, Jiang Chen said, "In that case, I don't want this ruby necklace anymore. That's it."
"Let's go."
Then Jiang Chen was about to leave.
The man in glasses flew into a rage. "You can't leave!"
Jiang Chen looked back. "What? Are you going to force me to sell it?"
The man in glasses didn't waste any time. He winked at the security guards not far away.
Soon, Jiang Chen and Jiang Anran were surrounded by a few strong men!
The bespectacled man said coldly, "Mister, you've already raised a sign at the auction. You must buy this ruby necklace! Otherwise, don't even think about leaving! "
Jiang Anran hid next to Jiang Chen. He was too scared to speak.
Smiling coldly, Jiang Chen said, "You'd better let us go. If you do that, I won't hold you accountable. Otherwise, you'll be the one who will regret it. "
The man in glasses turned a deaf ear to Jiang Chen.
He said arrogantly, "Dude, I'm giving you one last chance! Are you going to pay or not? "
Hu Tianhua couldn't stand it anymore.
"Mr. Jiang, do you need my help?"
He wasn't a nobody in Anhua City. As long as he helped, this matter would be easy to solve!
Waving his hand, Jiang Chen said, "No need. I'll take care of it myself. I'm curious to see how many shady deals this auction house has."
Since Jiang Chen had spoken, Hu Tianhua didn't insist.
In fact, he was also curious to see what Jiang Chen was capable of!
Besides, was Jiang Chen really the richest man in the world?
After all, he hadn't seen Jiang Chen in person, so he had some doubts.
That was why he decided not to do anything about it.
At this moment, Jiang Chen looked towards the man in glasses. He said coldly,
"It's 10: 20 in the morning. I'll be leaving in five minutes. What else do you want? Just say it now.
Otherwise, I'll leave. "
Jiang Chen looked calm. He wasn't afraid at all.
Even though this was the auction house's territory, he didn't care at all.
He wanted to see who would dare stop him if he, Jiang Chen, could leave.
The man in glasses opened his eyes wide instantly!
He didn't know where Jiang Chen got the courage!
He was so arrogant!
The man in glasses looked at him coldly. He said, "Dude, you've got guts. You still have the nerve to provoke us. Looks like we'll have to teach you a lesson today."
This auction house was also very powerful!
Their boss was also an existence that could cover the sky with one hand in Anhua City!
Even Hu Tianhua had to show some respect to their boss!
Besides, they didn't even know who Jiang Chen was. How could they behave so atrociously here?
And they didn't even pay for the necklace!
They couldn't let Jiang Chen go just because of this.
The man in glasses looked cold. He said to the strong security guards beside him,
"Attack him! Teach this guy a good lesson!"
When the security guards heard this, they immediately took action!
After all, they were the auction house's dogs. How could they not work for the auction house?
The next moment, a few strong men brandished their fists or raised their feet!
They attacked Jiang Chen quickly and violently.
Jiang Chen showed a cold smile when he saw this.
He wasn't afraid at all at this moment.
Facing a burly security guard who was rushing over, he quickly swung his fist and ruthlessly smashed it into the guard's face.
Bang!
As soon as Jiang Chen punched him, the brawny security guard was knocked over in an instant.
"Ah …"
At this moment, a scream came from the guard's mouth!
The strong security guard fell on the ground. He was struggling, but he couldn't get to his feet!
Jiang Chen's punch was very powerful.
The security guard was KO'd by one punch. He couldn't even get to his feet!
Then, Jiang Chen moved and attacked again. He punched and kicked the other security guards!
His fists were dancing in the wind, making whistling sounds!
Bang! Bang! Pah!!
Soon, all the security guards on the scene fell on the ground, struggling and screaming!
"Ah!! Ah!! "
They looked hideous. They were in great pain!
The man in glasses panicked when he saw this scene!
He didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so good at fighting!
The man in glasses was trembling. He stepped back step by step.
"Don't act recklessly! This is the auction house. If you dare hit me, I'll call the police! "
Such a threat sounded like a joke to Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen didn't show any mercy. He punched the man in glasses hard in the face!
Bang!
The man in glasses was sent flying by Jiang Chen in an instant!
He fell on the ground far away and started to scream in pain!
"Weren't you arrogant? Why aren't you screaming now? "
Jiang Chen questioned the man in glasses, grabbing the collar of his clothes.
The man in glasses looked into Jiang Chen's eyes as if he was looking at an ancient beast!
It was terrifying and chilling!
The man in glasses was trembling. He begged for mercy immediately, "Boss … no! Brother! I was wrong just now. Please forgive me and let me go. "
Jiang Chen said with a faint smile, "I won't say whether I'll forgive you or not.
But I'll take the ruby necklace from your auction house to have it appraised.
At that time, I will know whether your ruby necklace is real or fake! "
The man in glasses panicked as soon as he heard this.
In fact, he also knew that their rubies were shoddy!
But they were very clever. So far, no one had found it out!
At that moment, he heard from Jiang Chen that he was going to take the ruby necklace to have it appraised!
He panicked immediately!
If this matter was exposed, he would end up tragically!
Not to mention being beaten up, it was very likely that he would be used as a scapegoat by his boss …
At that time, wouldn't he end up like this?
He hurried to get to his feet and hold Jiang Chen's leg, begging.
"Brother, let's talk this out. Please don't do this! Otherwise, I'll be in big trouble! Tell me, what do you want? I'll give you everything! "
He couldn't care less at the moment.
Even if he had to pay a price, he wanted to calm Jiang Chen down first.
As for the rest, they could talk about it later.
Jiang Chen smiled disdainfully when he heard this.
"What? Now you finally admit that the ruby necklace in your auction house is fake, don't you?"
At this moment, the commotion here caught people's attention.
Quite a number of buyers had also arrived and were ready to pay!
Seeing this, the man in glasses suddenly turned pale. He denied it immediately!
"No! We're not selling fake goods. Don't talk nonsense! "
"Huh. You won't repent! "
Smiling coldly, Jiang Chen stomped hard on the bespectacled man!
"Ah!!!"
The man in glasses screamed like a pig being slaughtered.
He felt his bones were about to be crushed by Jiang Chen's foot!
Hu Tianhua frowned!
He had bid for a few collections before. This thing was fake!
Did that mean …?
Was he a fool?
Staring at the man in glasses, he said angrily,
"Tell me quickly, do you sell fake goods here to cheat people?"
Seeing this, the others all frowned. They didn't dare pay rashly.
What if they were cheated? Wouldn't it be a great disgrace?
Being stepped on by Jiang Chen, the man in glasses was in great pain.
He had to beg for mercy, "I'll tell you! I'll tell you! We did sell fake goods, but not all of them are fake. We mixed some fake goods in … "
Jiang Chen didn't remove his foot until he had finished speaking.
The expressions on the faces of all the tycoons around them were extremely unpleasant.
They didn't expect there to be fake goods in this auction.
That was to say, they would randomly pick lucky customers and sell them fake goods?
If they were unlucky enough to buy fake goods, they would have to treat them like real goods!
What the hell!
Such a thing was infuriating!
The rich people all ran forward.
They surrounded the man in glasses and cursed him in anger!
"Bastard! How dare you sell fake goods and cheat us! You're courting death! "
"Tell me! The blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty I bought last time is fake! "
"Damn! We're going to lodge a complaint against your auction house and have it close down!! "
"That's right. We can't let them go!"
Facing the verbal attacks of the crowd, the man in glasses shed bitter tears!
He knew he was going to die!
This auction house was going to die!
After all, this auction house had offended these rich people by selling fake goods!
They wouldn't let it go so easily.
Besides, Hu Tianhua was here today!
How could this auction house continue to operate?
It was impossible!
After telling Hu Tianhua to take care of the funeral affairs, Jiang Chen smiled and held Jiang Anran's hand.
"Anran, let's go. I'll take you somewhere else to buy things."
"Okay."
Jiang Anran nodded obediently and left the auction house with Jiang Chen in a sweet voice.
With Elder Brother Jiang Chen here, I feel so safe!
