"After the auction ends, I'll transfer you the money for the items."
Du Fei was very satisfied with successfully acquiring what he wanted.
Previously, Du Fei had whispered to Gong Chengbin, discussing how to trick Jiang Feng.
Before the auction started, Gong Chengbin looked at Jiang Feng, and the last time he bid eighty thousand.
Both times Gong Chengbin looked at Jiang Feng were intentional actions by Du Fei.
Because Jiang Feng had previously bought a lot of unnecessary junk due to Gong Chengbin bidding on everything, and was considered a fool by others.
So Du Fei felt that Jiang Feng would definitely consider carefully before bidding this time, because no matter how rich one is, no one wants to be treated as a sucker.
As expected, Gong Chengbin glanced at the other party, which made Jiang Feng suspicious, so he didn't bid.
Jiang Feng actually really wanted to bid in the end, but when Gong Chengbin looked at him, although he was very careful, Jiang Feng still noticed.
Jiang Feng naturally thought that he had seen through Gong Chengbin's intentions, and he was even preparing to mock him after Gong Chengbin bought something.
Who knew that Gong Chengbin actually wanted to buy this thing.
This made Jiang Feng extremely angry.
So from then on, Jiang Feng silently decided in his heart that no matter what Gong Chengbin bought, he would get it at all costs.
After all, for Jiang Feng, this money was insignificant.
Better safe than sorry, that was Jiang Feng's current thought.
"Eighty thousand is nothing, and besides, I tricked Jiang Feng badly this time, so the money was well spent."
Seeing Jiang Feng's expression as if he had eaten feces, Gong Chengbin felt overjoyed.
As for Du Fei saying he would transfer money to him, Gong Chengbin directly refused.
Not to mention that eighty thousand was nothing to Gong Chengbin, just for Du Fei allowing him to trick Jiang Feng, Gong Chengbin was willing to spend more.
"Alright then, consider it a favor I owe you."
Seeing Gong Chengbin's firm stance, Du Fei didn't argue about it.
However, regarding the item just acquired, Du Fei had a premonition that it was something very important to him, which was why Du Fei said he owed Gong Chengbin a favor.
As the two spoke, the auction continued.
Jiang Feng clutched his bidding number tightly, waiting for Gong Chengbin to bid, and he would immediately raise his card.
But after waiting for a long time, Gong Chengbin did not bid even once.
This made Jiang Feng stare at the back of Gong Chengbin's head, gritting his teeth.
If looks could kill, Gong Chengbin would have died many times over.
"Next, we have our final, ultimate auction item. Everyone, please rest assured, this treasure will absolutely make your trip worthwhile!"
The auction had been going on for nearly two hours, and most items had been sold.
At this moment, the auctioneer raised his voice and spoke solemnly.
"Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead!"
"A sacred object from Tibet, hailed by locals as a supernatural creation of God."
The auctioneer excitedly unveiled the red cloth. The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead was about the thickness of an adult's thumb, about ten centimeters long. Its surface was grayish-brown, with many circles that looked like eyes. The material was neither stone nor jade. It was strung into a bracelet with a seemingly ordinary hemp rope.
"A Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead? Real or fake? Such a good item, shouldn't it be in those top auction houses?"
"Exactly, I heard that the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is one of the top-tier dzi beads. This thing should start at tens of millions at least."
"Could it be fake?"
"Who knows, no one has ever seen a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead with their own eyes. Who knows if it's real or fake."
As the auctioneer announced that the final item was a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, discussions immediately erupted in the hall, though most people were skeptical.
It was no wonder people were questioning it; the value of a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead was too astonishing, and without authentication, no one could be sure of its authenticity.
"Please, everyone, remain calm."
The auctioneer, hearing the guests' doubts, showed no dissatisfaction. Instead, he smiled and said, "We were prepared for everyone's doubts."
Then, he randomly picked a guest who had spoken loudly and expressed strong doubts about the authenticity of the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, and invited him onto the stage.
"Sir, please put on this Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead. Your previous doubts will naturally be resolved."
The man invited onto the stage was still wondering what he was supposed to do.
Then, the auctioneer pointed to the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead in front of him and said to him.
"Hmph, you can tell if it's real or fake just by wearing it? Alright, I'll try it on then."
The man chosen, scoffed, not believing a word the auctioneer said.
However, the auctioneer smiled and gestured for him to try it on. The man didn't dwell on it and picked up the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead from the plate and put it on his wrist.
At first, the man's expression was full of disdain, as he absolutely did not believe that an auction of this caliber could auction a real Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead.
However, after a few dozen seconds, the man's expression began to change.
"Hiss."
After about two to three minutes, the man's expression completely changed to one of extreme surprise.
"Hey Old Kong, are you performing Sichuan opera? Your facial expressions are so varied. Hurry up and take it off. This thing is ninety-nine percent fake. What's the point of wearing it?"
Seeing that the man was slow to take off the bracelet, someone he knew from below called out.
This person didn't care about the auctioneer at all. In his opinion, he was here to spend money to buy things, and if someone tried to fool him with fakes, his attitude naturally wouldn't be good.
"Whew, this Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is real."
The man standing on stage let out a long sigh and uttered a sentence that surprised many people present.
What?
The item is actually real?
Didn't Old Kong downstairs vehemently question that the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead was ninety-nine percent fake? Why did he completely change his tune after wearing it for two to three minutes?
Could it be that this guy was bribed by the auctioneer in just a few minutes?
That shouldn't be it.
But how could Old Kong's inconsistent statement be explained?
Then, Old Kong reluctantly took off the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead bracelet and placed it back on the plate.
Even after walking off stage and returning to his seat, his eyes were still fixed on the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead bracelet.
"Old Kong, did someone bribe you? How much did they give you? I'll give you double!"
"Exactly! You're best at eating, drinking, and having fun. What do you know about something like a Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead?"
"Could the auctioneer be a hypnotist? Did Old Kong get hypnotized by that guy just now?"
Old Kong had come with a few friends.
As soon as he sat down, the people he was sitting with started teasing him.
However, Old Kong looked around at these people and said, "A few minutes ago, I had the same idea as you all. But as long as you go up and wear that Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead bracelet, you'll know why I said it's absolutely real."
"How about this, you guys lend me some money later. I'm definitely going to get this Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead bracelet!"
