The people from the reclusive families frequented the Beichen Club. It also gathered celebrities from all over the world. The people here had seen a lot of the world.
Ordinary small amounts would not make them panic.
However, this situation was indeed rare.
Ji Ziyin's exclusive waiter immediately jogged down and whispered into the auctioneer's ear.
The auctioneer also looked surprised.
All of this was seen by everyone present. The others were also interested and discussed.
"What happened?"
"Strange, why isn't anyone bidding anymore?"
"I think someone came down from the VIP area on the second floor. Could it be that some big boss made a move?"
"It looks like it."
…
On the third floor.
In Ye w.a.n.gchuan's private room.
He pressed the service bell and called the waiter. He asked concisely, "What happened downstairs?"
"A customer on the second floor offered an astronomical bid for this raw stone, so we were delayed." The waiter was eloquent and explained the matter in a few sentences.
"An astronomical bid?"
A dark glint flashed across Ye w.a.n.gchuan's eyes. His thin lips were frivolous. "Tsk, what was the bid?"
The people on the stage had already discussed, and the auctioneer would announce the price that appeared.
"One billion yuan."
A few seconds ago, the price of this ancient jade reached nine digits. Now, it had jumped to ten digits.
It was indeed not a small sum!
Moreover, this bidder was very bold!
Even Qiao Nian was interested in asking the waiter about the background of the collection. Then, she touched her chin and said, "Even if this person doesn't pay a billion yuan, the next few rounds will still be above 700 to 800 million yuan, so 'he' doesn't add much.
"But this person is quite smart. 'He' knows to give a high price from the beginning.
"This way, 'he' will shoot something and also be in the limelight."
Qiao Nian rarely praised people.
This time, she really felt that this person was quite smart.
Ye w.a.n.gchuan only raised his eyebrows. He turned to the waiter and reported his bid, then asked him to leave.
Qin Si happened to hear it after he finished playing the game. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at the ancient jade on the stage.
He turned to look at the man and asked, "Master w.a.n.g, why are you bidding for this thing? Are you buying it for Sister Qiao?"
"Good friend's anniversary." Ye w.a.n.gchuan looked at the girl, who was also a little surprised. He smiled and said in a n.o.ble and lazy manner, "I've already received a gift. Of course, I have to give something back. Otherwise, how can I be called her boyfriend?"
Qiao Nian's head hurt, and her eyelids twitched violently. She expressionlessly pulled down the brim of her cap to cover her eyes, but her heart was incomparably troubled.
If she had known earlier, she would not have said it so quickly…
If she could convert it to cash, it would be enough for her to create a few laser missiles.
Qiao Nian glanced at him and had a deep thought: Indeed, good-looking people are usually squanderers~ The more good-looking they are, the more of a squanderer they are!
…
In the VIP area on the second floor.
The confident Ji Ziyin elegantly drank coffee as she spoke to Yu Qingliu.
However, there was no new bid or announcement that she had won the ancient jade for a long time. Uneasy, she asked, "Elder Yu, why is there no movement below?"
"Let's wait and see. Don't be anxious."
Yu Qingliu's brows were tightly knitted as he stared at the commotion below.
