Chapter 7: Deliberately Creating Difficulties!

Chapter 7 Deliberately Creating Difficulties!

“This sword comes from the tomb of the Western Han Dynasty. It’s a symbol of a noble identity. The floor price is 1 million yuan. Please bid!”

Hong Ling’s words were concise and comprehensive. She didn’t introduce the sword too much, and she probably didn’t know much about it.

“I wonder if Miss Hong Ling has had someone verify it?” asked a boss.

“Boss Zhou, please rest assured! House of Treasure is not only our signboard, but also the guarantee of reputation! The collection value of this sword is definitely greater than the current price.”

After listening to Hong Ling, except for Chu Xun, everyone nodded, because House of Treasure never sold fakes.

“In that case, I’ll come first. I bid one million for it!” Boss Zhou bid first.

“Two million!”

“Three million!”

Finally, the sword was bought by Boss Zhou at the price of 5 million yuan.

Chu Xun didn’t expect to sell things by auction here.

Next, Hong Ling opened another safe box and held out a wooden box. It was opened and a yellowing copybook showed up, which then was unfolded slowly.

“This is Zhang Xu’s Record of Stomachache.” Someone who knew it called out as soon as they saw the copybook.

Zhang Xu was born in the Jiayou period of the Song Dynasty. He loved drinking. The Record of Stomachache was his best copybook! Zhang Xu’s excessively free cursive style, Li Bai’s poetry, and Pei Min’s sword dance are called Three Wonders.

This showed the great collection value of Zhang Xu’s Record of Stomachache.

“I bid five million!”

Before Hong Ling offered the floor price, the first person to recognize the Record of Stomachache directly bid 5 million yuan.

“Six million!”

“Eight million!”

These rich people bid one by one. It seemed that they wouldn’t give up until they got the Record of Stomachache at all means.

Chu Xun showed no interest in these things at all. He sat in the corner of the sofa, appearing uninterested.

“Little brother Chu Xun, don’t you bid? Or do you look down on these items?”

Hearing Hong Ling’s words, others turned their eyes on Chu Xun and all looked at him disdainfully.

“I’m afraid that he’s cash-strapped instead of looking down on these items.” Someone laughed at Chu Xun.

“Miss Hong Ling’s requirements are getting lower and lower. How can anyone come in?” Someone’s tone was full of disdain.

“People should have self-knowledge. Don’t think that you’re somebody once you have some money. I think he’d better spend some money buying some gadgets to trick those little girls who haven’t seen the world! Don’t bite off more than you can chew, or you’ll lose more!”

In their view, Chu Xun might be a rich second generation, who just came here to see Hong Ling with some money.

“Do we have to bid once we come in?” asked Chu Xun indifferently。

“How could it be possible. There is no such rule everywhere. It’s your freedom to bid or not.” Hong Ling said with a smile.

Chu Xun nodded and fell silent again.

Seeing that, others looked at Chu Xun more disdainfully.

Finally, Zhang Xu’s Record of Stomachache was sold for 10 million yuan.

Hong Ling opened the third safe box, and also took out a wooden box, which was smaller than the first two. The wooden box was opened, and a crystal clear jade appeared in the eyes of all.

The jade was cubic, which was10 centimeters in length, height, and width, looking like a piece of white tofu.

When Hong Ling took out the wooden box, Chu Xun slightly narrowed his eyes. The wave of spiritual power he had sensed before came from this box.

When he saw the jade inside, he sat up straight subconsciously.

“Is this a jade?” Someone asked subconsciously.

Because it was the first time that they had seen such a kind of white and flawless jade. It looked more like a piece of Tofu instead of jade.

“This is indeed a jade. Look at its shape, does it look like an Imperial Jade Seal?” asked Hong Ling.

Hearing Hong Ling’s question, all of them nodded.

“Is this the Imperial Jade Seal of some emperor?”

The crowd got excited. If it was really an Imperial Jade Seal, its collection value would beyond imagination.

Hong Ling shook her head and said with a smile, “You know, I’m just an intermediary. Everything here is entrusted by somebody else.”

Except for Chu Xun, everyone knew this. If the collectors and tomb robbers in Gujiang City had valuable items, they would send them to House of Treasure!

Because Hong Ling was a famous social butterfly, and almost knew all the big men in Gujiang City. Because of that, the selling price here would be several times higher than that at the regular auction houses.

And most of the time, these things were illegal, so House of Treasure was the best choice to sell these things. And Hong Ling pocketed the difference.

“As far as we know, this jade was the first choice when the First Emperor Qin made the Imperial Jade Seal. Later, the jade of the He family appeared so that this jade was abandoned,” Hong Ling paused and continued, “Since this jade has been selected by the First Emperor Qin, it must be extraordinary. You can come and touch the jade with your own hands. Then you’ll feel the difference of this jade.”

“What difference could it make? It’s just a beautiful jade, isn’t it?” Some people didn’t believe Hong Ling’s words and stepped forward to touch the jade. However, as soon as he touched it, he got surprised and said, “Is the jade warm?”

As we all know, jade was a good conductor. When the skin came into contact with jade, the jade would absorb the heat as fast as possible, and then quickly dissipate the heat into the air. Therefore, when people played with jade, they would always feel that jade was cold.

This jade was so big that it could dissipate heat quickly. The man stroked the jade, and felt the heat gushing out of the jade continuously, which surprised him.

Most of the people here had mastered a lot in identifying antiques and funerary objects. When they heard that the jade was warm, they all came forward to touch it and felt surprised.

“It’s definitely not a jade. It should be something else.” Someone said.

Others agreed. This was totally different from the jade they were familiar with.

Chu Xun stayed calm and collected, but his eyes were burning. This was indeed a jade, a rare precious jade. Even in the world of cultivation, it was also very rare. Its name was Warm Jade.

If somebody wore an ornament that was made up of Warm Jade and stimulated it with True Energy, he would keep away from heat and coldness and stay warm all year-round. Moreover, this Warm Jade had been pregnant with Jade Marrow. Even in the world of cultivation, it was also a valuable treasure.

“Miss Hong Ling, what’s the floor price of this jade?” Someone asked.

Hong Ling looked unnatural, because she was not sure whether it was a jade or not, and the floor price the client said was too high.

“The floor price is 10 million!” Hong Ling still said it.

“10 million? Are you crazy?” Someone showed scorn.

“Is the client crazy about money? Who knows what it is? Maybe it’s just a valueless stone.”

“The First Emperor Qin? If it really belonged to the First Emperor Qin, who will willing to sell it?”

Hong Ling was embarrassed! Yes, no one would spend 10 million yuan buying a piece of white tofu that could heat up. If the client hadn’t been a regular customer, she wouldn’t have accepted the commission.

“10 million!”

Just as everyone sniffed, a lazy voice sounded!

They looked back, and found it was Chu Xun who had been silent since he came in. Even Hong Ling was a little surprised and unsure.

“Little brother, you said you bid 10 million?” asked uncertain Hong Ling.

Chu Xun nodded and said, “If no one bid, this will be mine, right?”

“Is there anything wrong with his brain?” Someone whispered.

“Isn’t he a cheater paid by the client?”

“I think it’s possible. Look at him, how can he have 10 million?”

“We’ll know if he is a cheater after testing.” The previous Boss Zhou insidiously smiled and shouted to Hong Ling, “I bid 15 million yuan.”

Everyone was stunned and then thumbed up.

“Boss Zhou is so cunning! If this guy is really a cheater, he will continue to bid. If he isn’t, he’ll buy the useless stone at the original price. Ha ha...”

The crowd understood tacitly and couldn’t help laughing!

Chu Xun frowned and looked coldly at Boss Zhou, saying in a deep voice, “Are you intentional?”

“Hey, what did you say? You are allowed to bid. Can’t anyone else? Boss Zhou is the chairman of Huating Industry, having billions of yuan. Can’t he spend some pocket money buying a gadget?”

Before Boss Zhou said something, someone stood up to flatter Boss Zhou and blame Chu Xun.

“Huating Industry, I got it!” said Chu Xun indifferently. Then he stopped looking at these people and turned to Hong Ling, saying softly, “18 million!”

However, as soon as Chu Xun’s voice died away, Boss Zhou laughed and said, “20 million!”

Chu Xun’s eyes turned slightly cold. He only had 20 million yuan on him given by Chen Hanlong.

Seeing that Chu Xun kept silence, somebody immediately shouted, “Boy, why do you stop? Are you afraid that the client will get you in trouble after you go back?”

Boss Zhou looked calm, but was nervous inside. If Chu Xun stopped bidding, he would spend 20 million yuan on a useless stone.
