Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife-Chapter 564 Not Taking Action Yet?

"People from the Sakura Country?"

Song Yun stroked his chin and clicked his tongue, "Why are they involved in everything? I wasn't even interested in that vase, but now I have to step in."

"Do you have enough funds? As far as I know, those people seem to be interested in the horse head statue as well. Don't pick sesame seeds and lose watermelons in the process," said the old Master Ouyang with a grave expression.

"Don't worry, old man. This small amount of money is not enough to ruin my plans," Song Yun assured.

Song Yun pressed a button next to the sofa.

Instantly, the price on stage soared to two hundred million!

Seeing this price, everyone immediately began to discuss. Which tycoon had entered the fray?

Although there were few of these vases in existence, their price was at most capped at one hundred and eighty million. Two hundred million undoubtedly broke many people's psychological threshold!

"A bid of two hundred million from the VIP box!"

Wu Rou could hardly conceal her elation as she waved the small hammer and shouted, "This collectible is well-preserved, with no obvious signs of wear on the body of the vase, especially the private seal of Emperor Qian Long on the bottom, which elevates this treasure to a higher level!"

"Two hundred and ten million!"

A young man from the Sakura Country's group raised his sign and shouted.

"Long Dan, this price has already exceeded our expectations! If we continue bidding, we will lose money!"

An old man in a black suit tapped his gold-inlaid dragon-headed cane and said with dissatisfaction, "You should all know the reason why we are here! I do not wish for your personal emotions to disrupt our final goal!"

"Yamano, please don't get angry. It would not do to ruin your health over this. Rest assured, this two hundred and ten million is just my personal bid," Long Dan said with a sneer. "I have already pushed the price to its peak! I do not believe those people dare to engage in a bidding war with me! Just on this point alone, we have an overwhelming advantage over our opponents in the later auctions!"

No sooner had his words fallen than the numbers on the large screen behind the stage changed again.

Wu Rou looked at the string of numbers and felt her heart was about to leap out of her throat!

"Three... three hundred million! The VIP box bids three hundred million!"

Seeing that someone had already set their sights on this treasure, the tycoons who had been willing to painfully play another round or two put down their signs. Anyway, it was fine whoever got the item, as long as it didn't easily fall into the hands of the people from Sakura Country!

"Long Dan, it looks like you've met your match this time," a woman in an evening dress from the Sakura Country's team covered her mouth and chuckled. "Three hundred million is no small amount. I wonder which tycoon is sitting in that box. I'd really like to meet them!"

"Kanako!"

The older Yamano furrowed his brows and reprimanded, "We rise together, we fall together! Are we going to start fighting amongst ourselves before the final battle even begins? Are you living up to the name you carry?"

"I'm sorry..."

Kanako straightened her skirt and said softly, "Personally, I suggest that in this auction, we should not draw attention to ourselves. If we truly want the horse head statue, we should give up the other items and pool all our strength to focus on the final main event."

"Kanako makes sense. Long Dan, I know it's cruel to ask you to be calm at this moment, but for the greater good, please refrain from further bidding!" Yamano said in a low voice. "When you left, your father entrusted me to manage your funds, so I don't want to hear any more foolishness!"

"Yes!"

Though Long Dan felt aggrieved, he knew that Yamano's influence was extensive within their circle. If he truly angered him, there would be no good consequences upon his return!

"Are there any more bids from the guests? If not, I'm going to call it," Wu Rou called out loudly. "Three hundred million, once!"

"Three hundred million, twice!"

"Three hundred million, three times!"

"Sold!"

"Congratulations to the esteemed guest in the private box on obtaining Lot Number Five!"

Wu Rou slammed the gavel down hard as she announced.

"Three hundred million, that's no small sum of money."

Old Master Ouyang took a sip of tea and said slowly, "Some winnings do not compensate for the losses."

"Hahaha, it doesn't matter, as long as I can see those people lose face, I'm already very happy."

Song Yun said contentedly, "I just want to forcefully tell them that they can't outbid me for the vase, let alone the horse head!"

The pace of the auction was very fast, with each item selling for the highest market price!

As the auction progressed, people's anxiety grew because, aside from Cherry Blossom Country's extravagant spending, Little Kimchi and Beautiful Country's attendees were also going all out!

"The next item, the one we have all been waiting for, is the horse head! As the climactic final act for this evening, I believe many guests are here specifically for it, so without further ado, let us welcome the horse head!"

Wu Rou made an inviting gesture, and a special custodian came on stage, carrying a small box.

The custodian opened the box, revealing a gilded horse head, unmistakably the one that had been taken all those years ago!

Many in the audience, upon seeing this item, experienced a surge of emotions, clenching their fists involuntarily.

"There's no need for me to elaborate on the origins of this esteemed item. The starting bid is fifty million, with each increment no less than five million!"

"Let's start the bidding now!"

With Wu Rou's gavel falling, many in the crowd raised their paddles, and within just a minute, the price soared from the initial fifty million to one hundred and eighty million!

"Two hundred and thirty million!"

Yamano, the elderly man, raised his paddle calmly.

This sudden increase of fifty million caused some people to reconsider their bids.

Weighing their available funds and facing the arrogant glares of the Cherry Blossom Country group, they reluctantly and sourly gave up.

"Two hundred and eighty million!"

An international trade boss raised his paddle and shouted, "Forget it, this price is still too low, three hundred million!"

"Three hundred and twenty million!"

Yamano, the elderly man, raised his paddle at a leisurely pace, his unruffled demeanor suggesting he was determined to win the horse head today!

"Hey old man, this item has nothing to do with you, what do you want it for?"

A middle-aged man sneered, "Three hundred and forty million!"

"That's none of your business. Even if I buy it to use as a chamber pot, it's my freedom,"

Yamano replied in an extremely haughty tone, "Three hundred and fifty million!"

"Four hundred million!"

A voice with a slight accent chimed in; Yamano squinted toward the source of the sound and saw that it was someone from Beautiful Country making a bid.

"Four hundred and ten million!"

The representative from Kimchi Country also stepped into the fray and started bidding.

"Four hundred and fifty million!"

A merchant from Hua Country raised his paddle and yelled, "If you have the strength, keep going. I'll follow to the end!"

"Old Master, shall we not make our move yet?"
