Then, it was time for the second item.
“Everyone, this is the second auction item today. It’s called the Celadon-Glazed Dragon Bottle Vase.”
“This Celadon-Glazed Dragon Bottle Vase has an exquisite pattern of the Azure Dragon. The long dragon’s eyes are glazed and its outline is clear. It’s covered in fine scales and shuttles through auspicious clouds. The young dragon comes out of the water and looks up while its body is curled up in the turbulent waves. At the bottom, there are three lines and six characters of seal script produced in the Qing Dynasty’s Qianlong Era.”
“This is the pinnacle of Chinese porcelain and is also a treasure in Chinese history. The starting price is 130 million!”
When the second item was taken out, everyone exclaimed.
This auction item was priceless!
It came from the Qianlong Era. One could imagine how valuable this item was and how it was the favorite item of collectors.
Most importantly, there was only one such porcelain in the world.
This was also why porcelain could be auctioned at such a price. It was because it was collectible and rare. It was a work of art that carried the aura of history and culture and the wisdom of the ancient people!
Lin Fan took a look. He wasn’t interested in porcelain and naturally couldn’t be bothered to buy it.
Yun Xi’er had never bid, and she was clearly not interested in porcelain.
However, many of the tycoons present were collectors. In the end, this auction item was sold for 260 million.
“Then it’s time for us to move on to the third item. The third item is the Couplet Painting of the Book and Word Alliance.”
“The creation was in 1946. As the largest painting of Qi Baishi’s, the painting was 266 centimeters long and 100 centimeters long. The matching script is ‘long life, peace in the world’.”
“The scene is magnificent and has the feeling of cypress trees surrounding the heroes. The four scripts match it. They are thick, natural, dignified, and natural after marriage. They express a good wish for the peaceful development of the country and the people and a good wish for happiness in the world.”
“The starting price for the third item is 280 million!”
Lin Fan looked at this painting. It was indeed drawn very well. After all, Qi Baishi’s painting and calligraphy skills were very good. This was also one of his original paintings.
However, Lin Fan wasn’t interested in this. In the middle, he casually offered a price. He could give it to the old man. However, someone offered a higher price, so Lin Fan didn’t really bid for this painting.
In the end, the painting was sold for 360 million.
What made Lin Fan curious was that Yun Xi’er hadn’t bid once. She had even closed her eyes and was waiting quietly.
Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth items.
Every auction item was extraordinary. Lin Fan had only bid once and wasn’t interested in the rest of the time.
When it was time for the seventh item, Lin Fan’s interest was piqued.
“The seventh item is Villa 1 in Lingbo District. It’s also the best villa in Lingbo District!”
“The entire villa has a total of four floors. The decorations are luxurious, and this is also the best villa in Lingbo District. At night, you can see the river and the starry sky. In the villa, there are luxurious decorations. You can party with your family, play with your friends, and discuss business.”
“Here, you can enjoy the most extreme experience. As Villa 1, this villa has an area of 2,600 square meters. The starting price is 260 million!”
When the auctioneer said the price, Lin Fan’s eyes lit up.
He had always wanted to buy a villa in Jiang City, but he had never found a suitable one.
Obviously, this villa was the most suitable for him because the renovation and design of this villa matched his style very well.
Most importantly, this villa was big enough.
After entering the villa, he could enjoy that carefree joy.
There was even a garden outside the villa. The grass, environment, and atmosphere were all extremely good.
There were even some small animals around, making this place seem lively.
Just as Lin Fan was about to bid, Yun Xi’er made the first bid.
“Three hundred million,” Yun Xi’er said.
This was also her first time bidding at this auction.
She immediately raised the price by 20 million!
Although most of the people sitting here were rich, there was no need to buy a villa with 300 million.
Even a big boss would not be able to take out 300 million in cash so easily.
Most of the tycoons did not bid.
For a moment, the surroundings fell silent.
Furthermore, this was Yun Xi’er’s first bid. Everyone wanted to give her face.
“VIP No. 1 bid 300 million. Anyone else?” The auctioneer looked around.
At this moment, Lin Fan raised the number “7” in his hand.
“Oh my god, VIP No. 7 has bid 310 million!” the auctioneer said.
Yun Xi’er looked back at Lin Fan and raised the sign in her hand again.
“VIP No. 1 bids… 400 million!” The auctioneer’s mouth was agape.
The other tycoons were also shocked. Yun Xi’er increased the price by 100 million!
Lin Fan continued to raise his sign as if nothing had happened.
“Oh my god, VIP No. 7 has made another bid. 410 million!”
“Ah ah ah, VIP No. 1 has chosen to increase the bid, 430 million!”
“VIP No. 7 has increased the bid again. 460 million!”
“VIP No. 1 has chosen to increase the bid again. 470 million!”
“…”
For a moment, the surrounding people could not hold it in anymore.
The price of this villa had already risen to 470 million.
Lin Fan instantly became the center of attention. The battle between him and Yun Xi’er for a villa had already reached its climax.
This villa could be said to be the best villa in Jiang City!
It symbolized honor, status, and identity.
“D*mn, who would dare to bid like that with Yun Xi’er? They’re going to keep going against each other.”
“Amazing. This villa is already worth 470 million. I can’t take it anymore. I wonder who VIP No. 7 is.”
“VIP No. 7 is a little fierce. It’s a pity that he’s too far away. I can’t see him clearly, but he’s definitely an awesome person. Will the price rise to 500 million?”
“To dare to go against Yun Xi’er, this brother is a little fierce.”
Lin Fan was getting impatient.
He just wanted the best villa in Jiang City. When the time came, he could bring the company’s employees to Jiang City to travel and see the scenery. At the same time, he could live in a big villa. That would be great.
Initially, Lin Fan had planned well. In the end, Yun Xi’er suddenly jumped out to bid against him.
Wasn’t it just money? Lin Fan had plenty of it. He raised number 7 again.
At this moment, the entire place was silent.
Even Yun Xier was stunned.
The auctioneer stood on the auction stage, his eyes filled with shock.
“VIP No. 7… No. 7 has made another bid!”
“VIP No. 7 has chosen to bid 500 million!!!”
“Anyone else wants to increase the price? It’s already reached 500 million!”
“500 million once…”
“500 million twice…”
“This is your last chance. Do you still want to increase the price? If you don’t, this villa will belong to VIP No. 7!”
