My Wife Gets More Vicious The More I Spoil Her-Chapter 7
Chapter 7
Xie Xuan frowned. “What’s the current price?”
Zhou Nuo: “28 million.”
Xie Xuan: “Both sides?”
Zhou Nuo: “Yes, both.”
Xie Xuan: “Then it’s probably the same person.”
After thinking for a moment, he said, “In that case, I’ll play along with him. If he adds 510, I’ll raise it by 1100. Let’s see who can outbid whom!”
Zhou Nuo: “…”
What 510, 1100, that’s by thousands. You even left out the word ‘thousand’ behind the numbers!
…
At the mall.
“Hey, hey, hey, Haiqiao, it’s 38 million now!”
“I saw it.” Lu Haiqiao’s voice was calm.
Xu Duo: “The other party seems to be well-prepared, and not lacking money.”
Lu Haiqiao’s eyes turned cold as she said, “No matter what, no one is allowed to snatch what belongs to me.”
“If you cherish the painting so much, why did you auction it back then?”
Xu Duo had asked this question many times before, but Lu Haiqiao always responded to her with silence.
This time was no exception.
The expected silence made Xu Duo give up seeking an answer.
“Forget it, forget it. If you don’t want to talk about it, then don’t.”
Lu Haiqiao softly replied with an ‘”Mmm”.
At that moment, Xu Duo noticed the countdown timer next to the current price on the webpage.
After checking the rules, she reminded her, “Haiqiao, this is a time-limited auction with no time extension. In other words, at the last second of the auction, the highest bidder wins.”
Lu Haiqiao, who had just raised the price to 43 million, could not help but curse.
This kind of bidding required more than just money. It depended on which side was lucky enough to place the winning bid at the last second before the auction ended.
Lu Haiqiao pursed her lips and tightened her grip on the tablet.
Going all out, right?
Then I would raise it to a price you couldn’t afford!
“Woah, Brother Xuan, looks like this person is going against you.” Zhou Nuo stared at the current price of the items on the computer screen and clicked his tongue twice. “He directly raised it to 70 million.”
70 million…
Two years ago, the entire series had been sold for 210 million yuan, which was exactly 70 million yuan per painting.
Has it reached the limit?
“Brother Xuan, what should we do now? Should we raise it?” Zhou Nuo asked.
Xie Xuan didn’t hesitate. “Of course. If I can’t secure these two paintings, my grandfather will come over with a knife and hack me to death.”
The corner of Zhou Nuo’s eyes twitched. “Then we raise it by 1,000 each time?”
Going further would push it over 100 million.
Even if you had the money, was it wise to play like this? What if the other party was just trying to trick you into increasing the price?
After some consideration, Xie Xuan said, “I’ll raise it by 100 first to test the other party’s bottom line. If 7,000 is their limit, then no point for me to raise it.”
He was rich, but he was not stupid.
“Understood.” Zhou Nuo acted quickly, immediately raising the price to 71 million after saying so.
“Haiqiao, there are only two minutes left, and they’ve already bid 7,100. What should we do?” Xu Duo was starting to get anxious.
If they were bidding for a single painting, given Lu Haiqiao’s temperament, she might directly push the price to over 100 million to guarantee an absolute advantage.
However, they were bidding on two paintings of equal value, and she had to consider whether she had enough liquid capital on hand to pay for such a substantial fee.
One painting for 70 million was probably her limit at the moment.
“I don’t care. Increase the price.” As soon as she finished speaking, the current price for both paintings, ‘Flower Moon’ and ‘Night’, simultaneously rose to 72 million.
Both sides continued to compete fiercely, neither willing to back down.
