77: How dare you call something so "small" a "big"?

The ridiculous thing was.

A 50 million antique.

The starting bid set by the auction house was only 100,000!

The difference in value was so immense.

Why was that?

Chen Yang already knew the answer.

Unfortunately.

No one else present knew.

The Qing Dynasty ceramic horse.

Its age was not very old, and its type was not rare.

The only thing worth mentioning.

Was that its craftsmanship was quite exquisite.

Therefore.

Everyone's enthusiasm for bidding was generally not high.

When the bidding began.

Eight people participated in the bidding.

At this time, Chen Yang did not participate, but quietly observed.

Waiting for the best moment.

When the price was driven up to 300,000.

Four people had already given up.

Because the actual value of a Qing Dynasty ceramic horse was around 300,000.

Exceeding this price.

What was the point of getting it?

At this moment.

Chen Yang made his move.

He directly raised his paddle, bidding 350,000.

Suddenly raising the price by 50,000.

He directly scared off three people, leaving only one person still holding on.

Each previous increase was 10,000.

Chen Yang did not follow the usual pattern, directly raising the price significantly.

Showing his determination to win.

The others could only give up.

The last person was a middle-aged wealthy businessman, who was quite interested in pottery.

Coupled with his immense wealth, he had persisted until now.

His tenacity was indeed very strong.

He raised his paddle again.

"360,000!"

Chen Yang glanced at him, and without hesitation, raised his paddle again.

"400,000!"

The middle-aged wealthy businessman was made very passive by Chen Yang's actions.

And also very confused.

Was this guy an idiot?

Treating his father's money like it was worthless!

He could have just raised the price by 10,000.

But he insisted on raising it by 50,000.

Are you afraid the auction house won't make money?

Damn it!

"410,000!"

He held firm and bid again.

Wanting to see.

How much this kid was really worth?

Chen Yang's sword-like eyebrows raised.

He suddenly stood up, holding his paddle high.

"500,000!"

When this price was announced.

It immediately caused a stir in the hall.

Everyone whispered to each other.

"What's the background of this young man? He seems very rich!"

"I don't think so. He's probably a hothead, a Second-generation rich heir who doesn't know how hard his father worked to build his empire!"

"Yes, the young people nowadays, I really don't understand them. My son is also the same!"

"Who isn't? Arrogant and overconfident, he's no good at making money, but he's better than anyone at spending it!"

...The middle-aged wealthy businessman was in a dilemma.

The Qing Dynasty ceramic horse now.

To him, it was a thankless task.

He wanted to give up, but he was unwilling.

He wanted to continue, but it wasn't worth it.

Chen Yang nervously watched the middle-aged wealthy businessman.

He didn't know... would he continue? Or give up?

For Chen Yang.

No matter what, he had to get this Qing Dynasty ceramic horse.

There was only one difference: how much money would he spend?

The lower the price.

The smaller the loss.

If he encountered a stubborn person who insisted on raising the price.

And drove the price up to 1 million, 5 million, 10 million.

Chen Yang could only bite the bullet and fight to the end!

In that case.

The loss would be too great!

At this moment.

Han Feixue, Feng Danqing, Liu Sisi, and Xiao Yue all looked nervously at Chen Yang.

They couldn't understand.

Why he was so fixated on this small ceramic horse.

As laypeople.

They all saw that this ceramic horse was not worth 500,000.

This time.

Chen Yang was very likely to lose money.

The Slender-Waisted Young Lady had been watching the middle-aged wealthy businessman.

Hoping he would bid again.

"500,000, going once!"

"Is there anyone else who wants to bid again?"

..."500,000, going twice!"

"This Qing Dynasty ceramic horse, with its novel shape and exquisite craftsmanship, is indeed a rare treasure."

"May I ask, is there anyone else who wants to bid again?"

...The middle-aged wealthy businessman had been hesitating.

Finally.

It was his friend beside him who gave him advice.

"Brother, 500,000 is also money, why bother to argue with this kind of person over money?"

The middle-aged wealthy businessman thought about it.

That made sense!

He immediately put down his paddle.

"I give up."

Chen Yang's heart finally settled.

The Slender-Waisted Young Lady, however, looked disappointed.

She reluctantly brought down the hammer.

Bang!

"500,000, going thrice, sold!"

"Congratulations to this gentleman for successfully bidding on the Qing Dynasty ceramic horse!"

Chen Yang was excited.

He ignored the strange looks from others.

He quickly completed all the procedures.

It wasn't until he was actually holding the Qing Dynasty ceramic horse in his hands.

That Chen Yang's hanging heart finally completely relaxed.

Along the way.

Seeing Chen Yang tightly hugging the ceramic horse, not letting the girls touch it.

Han Feixue looked puzzled.

"Why are you being so secretive and nervous?"

"Are we going to steal it from you?"

Feng Danqing nodded.

"Yes, no matter how much we like it, we wouldn't go so far as to steal your 500,000 broken little horse, right?"

Chen Yang took the four girls into the wrangler.

After closing the car door.

He said mysteriously:

"I'm not afraid you'll steal it, I'm afraid you'll accidentally drop my 50 million and break it."

Han Feixue pouted.

"Bragging!"

"It's clearly only 500,000, how did it become 50 million?"

Xiao Yue was also very curious.

"Brother Yang, did you remember wrong? This is 500,000, not 50 million!"

Chen Yang wiped his sweat.

"Xiao Yue, do I... look like I have Alzheimer's?"

Xiao Yue awkwardly stuck out her tongue.

Liu Sisi asked curiously:

"Then why is that?"

Chen Yang shook his head.

He put on a big show.

"Tch!"

"There's nothing to say to a bunch of laypeople like you, it's simply... casting pearls before swine!"

Han Feixue was the first to object.

She puffed out her cheeks and glared.

"Who are you calling a swine?"

Feng Danqing and Liu Sisi both pounced over.

Their eyes unfriendly.

Only Xiao Yue smiled, enjoying the show.

Chen Yang quickly surrendered.

"Stop! Don't be so eager!"

"I'm not talking nonsense. If you don't believe me, I'll take you there."

"We'll sell this ceramic horse and see how much it's really worth?"

Han Feixue put away her attacking stance.

"Alright, we'll see! If you're talking nonsense, we'll settle all scores, old and new!"

Liu Sisi remembered being forced to use the 'beauty trap'.

She was furious.

"Right, all scores, old and new, will be settled!"

Chen Yang stepped on the accelerator.

He headed straight for the Antique Street, Treasure Pavilion.

With a good treasure, he naturally thought of Lilac.

He drove through the city with a group of beauties.

Directly to Lilac's office.

"Boss Ding, business is here, aren't you going to come out and receive guests?"

Chen Yang shouted loudly and casually.

Lilac opened the door.

Besides Chen Yang, a familiar customer.

All she saw were beauties.

"Little Brother Yang, with this lineup, did you just return from the Land of Women?"

Chen Yang laughed heartily.

"Enough with the nonsense, I brought you a big treasure, guaranteed to dazzle your... you know what!"

Lilac was so angry, she glared at him fiercely.

She stepped aside.

Inviting everyone to come in and sit down.

Finding an opportunity.

Lilac pulled Chen Yang aside and whispered:

"If you hadn't come today, I was going to look for you."

Chen Yang smiled:

"We're having dinner at my place tomorrow, wouldn't we meet then? Why bother making an extra trip?"

"You... miss me that much?"

Lilac rolled her eyes teasingly.

"Only a ghost would miss you!"

"There will be a lot of people tomorrow, how will we have time to talk in detail?"

"Later, you let them leave first. I have a very important matter to discuss with you in detail."

Chen Yang was a little surprised.

"That serious?"

Lilac nodded solemnly.

"At least for me, it's very urgent and very important!"

Chen Yang nodded silently.

Then.

Lilac personally brewed tea for the beauties.

Leaving Chen Yang alone without tea.

It was Little Yue who was caring and voluntarily gave her tea to Chen Yang.

Chen Yang said angrily:

"Little Sister Lilac, you have to take responsibility for your actions!"

"If you don't give me tea, then later, don't even think about getting a single cent less from me for this treasure!"

Lilac was nonchalant.

"Who can't brag? Bring out the treasure first, then boast!"

Chen Yang immediately opened the box.

Placing an exquisite ceramic horse on the coffee table.

"Please look!"

Lilac pouted.

"This Little Dot, you have the nerve to call it... a big treasure?"
