Rebirth 05: From Coal Mine Owner to Mobile Phone Tycoon

"100 million! Master Wei has offered 100 million!"

"105! Mr. Mankinda, 105!"

Wei Min glanced around and noticed that her competitor was an Indian businessman, and her brows furrowed slightly.

This situation was not unforeseen.

People in China will care more or less about the reputation of their master and grandmaster, as well as their own status, so they probably won't go to great lengths to compete with them.

However, the situation is uncertain with our international friends.

Fortunately, it seems that only this Indian man is competing with him at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, she held up a number.

"We've offered 1.2 million! It's clear that Master Wei is determined to get the advisor's set of jewelry."

"120 million! Mr. Mankinda, would you like to try and negotiate for 120 million again?"

Mankinda shook her head apologetically at her female companion.

Disappointment instantly flashed across her female companion's face, showing that she really liked the jewelry.

"120 million each time," the auction began with the final inquiry as Mr. Mankinda shook his head helplessly at him.

"120 million twice."

The auctioneer had already grasped the gavel, his gaze sweeping over the crowd before conducting one last round of inquiries.

This price was already five times the starting bid, so the auctioneer decided to stop pushing and not chase higher bids.

Given the current situation, even if someone wanted to question it, they would have nothing to say.

"120 million! Anyone else want to bid? 120 million, 120 million!"

Wei Min's heart pounded. Although 120 million was much higher than the original value of the item, it was still within her acceptable range.

From this perspective, it should be fine even without Qu Xueer's help.

I was just too worried to think straight. I should have slapped her back. Who does Qu Xue'er think she is? How dare she slap me?

"150 million!"

Just as the auction hammer was about to fall and Wei Min was overjoyed, Lu Yuan loudly announced his price.

This is to prevent the auctioneer from directly bringing down the gavel and announcing a sale on the grounds that they did not see the item or that the time had expired.

"150 million! Mr. Wan Lu has offered 150 million!"

Although he sighed inwardly, he had indeed been asked by a friend to look after Wei Min during the auction.

He was happy to do this favor, since people in the entertainment industry were among his major clients.

But after hearing Lu Yuan's quote, he still maintained his professionalism and announced the price to the audience in an even more excited tone.

Wei Min was so angry she almost bit her back teeth off.

Why is it this kid again? Why is he always going against me?

Wei Min wasn't sure if Lu Yuan genuinely wanted to compete with her for the jewelry set, or if he was just trying to drive up the price and make her bleed.

In either case, Wei Min had no choice but to raise the price.

"180 million!"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, recalling the hint of guilt and nervousness on Wei Min's face after she deliberately raised the price when bidding on the Langyao red gall vase.

It shouldn't exceed 240 million; Lu Yuan had some idea of ​​the amount of money Wei Min had.

So Lu Yuan decided to call out a number, preparing to end the game directly.

"180 million per time!"

"Let me confirm, Mr. Lu, is it 250 million?"

Lu Yuan raised his left hand again, making a gun gesture, and nodded vigorously.

The auctioneer didn't understand what Lu Yuan's gesture meant.

But I understand that Lu Yuan did indeed offer this price.

"250 million! Mr. Lu has directly raised the price to 250 million!"

Lu Yuan looked towards Wei Min and could clearly sense the surprise and panic on her face.

Lu Yuan smiled dismissively. "Comparing wealth to a coal mine owner?"

Our main goal is not to be the best, but to be the most expensive.

"Wei, you should try to get 250 million."

"250 million! Mr. Lu is offering 250 million!"

"250 million per time!"

Wei Min looked pleadingly at the wealthy woman who had come with her.

The wealthy woman shook her head. "My husband gives me a limited allowance, so I can't help you."

Wei Min then looked at Chairman Wang.

Chairman Wang snorted coldly and turned his head away.

Not only did he fail to win over the goddess today, but he was also exposed in public, losing face and even the possibility of finding someone to invest in him was gone.

He came here entirely because Wei Min assured him she could help him win over Zhou Mei.

Asking him for help right now is out of the question.

Meanwhile, Qu Xue'er hadn't looked in her direction at all since the start of the banquet, and the same was true at this moment.

Without any outside help, Wei Min was extremely desperate at this moment.

She suddenly raised her head, glaring fiercely at Lu Yuan, her chest heaving violently.

"300 million!"

Wei Min shouted out this price with almost all her strength.

Those around them could also sense the tension between the two.

Especially seeing the people who had clashed with the two at the door and in the salon earlier.

"It was the two of them!"

"You know those two? They look like complete strangers to me!"

"But those two were at the door just now..."

"Did you see their conflict at the salon?"

"Looks like we've really run into each other on a narrow road."

"I didn't see that, tell me quickly."

"Oh dear, wait a minute, let's see how they compete. This set of jewelry isn't going to fetch an astronomical price, is it?"

Lu Yuan felt something was wrong; had he guessed wrong?

Wei Min was cornered and decided to take a desperate gamble.

Or perhaps she knew she couldn't earn it and decided to sabotage herself.

If it's the former, Lu Yuan wouldn't mind adding some money to overwhelm her.

But if it's the latter, then things get interesting.

To verify his suspicions, Lu Yuan decided to give it a try.

So Lu Yuan raised his hand again and made a gun gesture.

The auctioneer was taken aback at first, noticing that Lu Yuan wasn't gesturing or calling out a specific number, which would represent the minimum bid increment.

"305 million! Mr. Lu"

"310 million! Wei Dajia has 310 million!"

Lu Yuan raised his hand again, making a gun shape.

"315 million!"

"320 million! From Wei Dajia, 320 million."

Lu Yuan had been observing Wei Min the whole time, and noticed that after she hysterically shouted out 300 million,

These two price increases, instead of bringing the same feeling as before, actually made me feel more relaxed and happy.

Lu Yuan now understood.

Raise your hand again, pointing to the gun; the auctioneer understands.

"325 million, Lu, 330 million! Master Wei bids 330 million."

Wei Min's face was filled with a malicious smile, thinking to herself, "Go ahead and add more if you dare."

You think you've got too much money? I'll make you bleed!

If you don't let me have a good time, you won't have a good time either.

But does Lu Yuan play by the rules?

surely not

Lu Yuan stood up, indicating that he had something to say.

"Mr. Lu, do you have something to say?"

During the auction, if guests have any disputes about the bids, they can raise their questions before the auctioneer brings down the gavel.

Including but not limited to, not clearly seeing who raised their paddle, incorrect bidding range, false bidding, etc.

When an auctioneer receives a challenge, they can choose to ignore it and continue the auction. However, if problems arise later, [the auctioneer may be unprepared].

Auctioneers bear a significant portion of the responsibility.

Therefore, most auctioneers choose to suspend the auction first, resolve the dispute, and then resume the auction.

Lu Yuan straightened the front of his suit jacket and uttered four words in a very strange accent.

"I need to have my license checked!"
