Chapter 160:118, making tens of millions! Lin Mo creates another legend!_7
Hearing the rather grating shouts, Lin Mo turned his head, sneered dismissively, and said to the aggravated Xiang Feiwen, “Mr. Xiang? How confident must you be to think I’m targeting you?”
“Aren’t you targeting me?”
Xiang Feiwen was about to explode with anger, nodding repeatedly; he had already lost his reason and shouted furiously, “Fine, fine, fine, you have money, right? Well, let’s see how willing you are to spend it!”
“Seven million! I bid seven million!”
“I’m going all in with you today, dare to bid again, and if you raise the price, this stone is yours!”
The truth is,
that price was indeed a bit too high.
Xiang Feiwen was completely provoked by Lin Mo, which is why he blurted out that price in a fit of rage.
But what’s the saying?
Which child cries every day, where does the gambling dog lose every day?
Xiang Feiwen refused to believe he couldn’t win this time!
If Lin Mo could buy it for five million, why couldn’t he get it for seven million?
He was betting that Lin Mo had definitely spotted something again.
Just like earlier in his shop, when a “Yellow Sparrow Painting” was extracted from the “Five Horse Painting.”
This stone likely had some trick to it!
Unfortunately, before he could show a triumphant smile, Lin Mo’s indifferent voice once again rang out, “Oh, then 1’11 bid eight million.”
Whoosh—
After this bid, the venue once again erupted in fervent discussion.
“Heh, no escape now, that kid definitely was lucky during the day.”
“Eight million for such a jadeite raw stone? Isn’t that crazy?”
“Could’ve given the money to me instead, what good is it donating to an auction held by the four big families? Do they even know who you are?”
“Tsk, tsk, a fool and his money soon parted!”
“That Xiang Feiwen is also a fool today, actually bidding seven million? Isn’t he usually very shrewd?”
“Probably got angry because that kid picked up a bargain at his shop this morning.”
“Interesting, I really want to see, after the stone splits, what kind of expression will appear on his face with an eight million bid.”
“There’ll be some fun to watch tonight.”
Zhang Yihua, although not knowledgeable in stone gambling, also heard whispers around him and sensed something was amiss. He quickly lowered his voice and said, “Mr. Lin, I know you don’t like this kid, but don’t get carried away. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and it would be such a waste to throw it away like this. Better invest it with me.”
Lin Mo heard the surrounding comments, but he felt nothing.
As long as he could get the jadeite raw stone for under twenty million, it would be a big win.
Others were gambling, but he already knew the result.
Why would he panic?
“Old classmate, keep calm, the good part is yet to come,” Lin Mo said with a smile, signaling Zhang Yihua to stay cool.
Eight million?
Hearing this price, Xiang Feiwen couldn’t help but laugh, incredibly pleased with himself.
He mocked, “You must not have heard the auctioneer’s explanation just now. Even when this jadeite raw stone was whole, it was just over ten million. Now it’s been cut twice, and it’s completely split, and you want to buy it for eight million?”
“Should I say you’re too confident, or should I say you’re an idiot?”
“Well, today I really want to see how you’re going to watch eight million go down the drain!”
Thump… Thump thump!!
At this moment,
the auctioneer knocked the gavel a few times, reminding, “Everyone, please abide by the auction house’s rules. Under any circumstance, do not affect the other guests.”
Once the room quieted down, the auctioneer wasted no time and directly called out, “Eight million once, eight million twice… eight million three times!”
“Sold!”
“Congratulations to gentleman number 58 for securing the jadeite raw stone for eight million.”
“Today’s auction is officially over. Those who have won bids, please follow our staff to the backstage to handle the payment procedures and collect your items.”
“Thank you once again for your support of Wanming Auction House. Thank you.”
The doors were opened again, and the crowd began to leave, with most people glancing at Lin Mo with a teasing look in their eyes.
What’s the use of having money? So what if you’re lucky?
No brains though!
Soon, a hostess approached, inviting Lin Mo to the backstage to process the payment.
At this time, Xiang Feiwen walked over smugly, scoffing, “Mr. Lin is really domineering, spending eight million on a piece of junk stone that no one else wanted, lavish, truly lavish.”
After their interactions throughout the day, the straightforward Zhang Yihua had lost all fondness for Xiang Feiwen. Seeing Xiang Feiwen approach, he couldn’t help but curse, “Why are you hovering like a bad spirit? Have you never been beaten up or what?”
“Mr. Lin has the money; is there a problem? Moreover, that money was earned from you, not happy with it? Fancy a challenge?”
Seeing this, Lin Mo also laughed.
This time, he didn’t stop Zhang Yihua; if a real fight broke out, he would cover for Zhang Yihua.
“Okay, okay, okay, you’re tough, you’re the boss!” Xiang Feiwen took several deep breaths, not daring to really clash with Zhang Yihua, and as he backed away he said, “I’m going to wait for you guys at the jade processing area, you’ll have your time to cry later!”
Not just him,
many others also planned to go to the jade processing area to watch the excitement.
On one hand, stone cutting itself was thrilling, especially when it came to valuable, large stones, and on the other hand, they wanted to see what hideous expression Lin Mo would have after the stone was cut and collapsed.
As for the stone’s value increasing?
Heh,
Impossible,
Absolutely impossible.
If it could even break even at five million, it would already be a miracle.
“Let’s go.”
Lin Mo called Zhang Yihua and followed the auction house staff to the backstage to swipe the card and pay..
