Chapter 266: IQ Tax

ement technique could control Ye Tian through divine sense, so all of this was arranged by him.The Great Han had just been hit and hadn't even managed to regain his balance before he slapped the top o...Zhao Liya lifted the silk cloth off the tray, revealing a jade flute. It was about 40 centimeters long and completely green, clearly made of extraordinary material.

She said, "Ladies and gentlemen, this is our first item for auction today. It is both a finely crafted jade ornament and a perfect flute."

... Whether as an antique or a musical instrument, it has extremely high collection value..."

As expected of a gold medal auctioneer, though their words were few, they comprehensively introduced the value of this jade flute.

Finally, she shouted: "The starting price of this jade flute is 50,000 yuan, and each bid must be no less than 2,000 yuan. Now the bidding begins!"

"100,000 yuan..."

"...$150,000..."

"200,000 yuan..."

The auction began, and the price of the jade flute quickly soared to 200,000. However, that was as far as it went, with no one else bidding further.

"300,000!"

Ye Bufan raised the number plate in his hand.

This flute is pretty good overall, it's nice to just pick up and play sometimes.

The most important thing is that today's auction items he looked through from beginning to end, there was nothing he liked. He couldn't return empty-handed after attending an auction once, could he Now, no matter what, he considered himself a wealthy person.

He originally thought that this price would be enough to shock the whole audience and he directly took down his flute.

To everyone's surprise, as soon as he opened his mouth, Tian Sheng beside him immediately shouted, "One million."

This guy originally didn't know how to play any instruments and wasn't interested in this flute. The reason he bid was just to compete with Ye Bufan.

After shouting, he also threw a provocative look over, the meaning of which was clear to everyone: I'm richer than you.

Ye Bufan frowned, then called out angrily, "I bid 2 million..."

"4 million..."

Tian Sheng immediately doubled the price without any hesitation.

Ye Bufan was enraged: "8 million..."

The price doubled again, and Tian Sheng hesitated for a moment, but only for a fleeting second.

As the eldest son of a wealthy family, he couldn't be intimidated by a poor kid in public. Otherwise, how could he possibly navigate the high society of Jiangnan City

Then he called out again, "32 million..."

Although it hurt his wallet, he still doubled the price.

Seeing the two people arguing, He Shuangshuang hurriedly said, "Don't argue with that guy, the Tian family is really very wealthy."

In an instant, the anger on Ye Bufan's face dissipated, and he said calmly: "It's nothing, I was just playing around. Forget it now."

After finishing, he placed the license plate on the table and gave Tian Sheng a playful smile: "Congratulations, this flute is yours now."

He originally had a nonchalant attitude towards this jade flute, but since the other party ran out to show off, he might as well raise the price a bit and make the other party pay for their pretentiousness.

"My goodness, a flute worth 50,000 yuan actually sold for 32 million yuan. Am I seeing things"

"The eldest son of the Tian family actually bought a jade flute for 32 million yuan. He's so rich..."

"Is this rich I think this is a big head. Being rich isn't about spending money like this…"

It wasn't until then that the crowd around them came to their senses from the shock. No one had expected that an ordinary jade flute would be auctioned off at such a sky-high price right at the beginning, all because of a dispute between two people.

Zhao Liya hadn't expected this situation to occur. She came to her senses and raised the auction hammer, calling out: "Mr. Tian has bid 32 million, does anyone else wish to raise the price"

Actually, she was just asking casually. 50,000 yuan炒到 32 million yuan, this is already very outrageous. Besides someone like Tian Sheng who squanders money, who else would pay even one more cent

She quickly brought down the gavel, “Congratulations to Mr. Tian for successfully bidding on this jade flute.”

Soon, the shop assistant brought the jade flute to Tian Sheng and then handed him a tablet computer.

He glanced at Ye Bufan. The guy was smug, swiping his card to pay, acting like a complete winner.

The auction continued, and the second item was brought to the stage: an antique porcelain vase with an elegant and ancient charm.

After an introduction, Zhao Liya began the auction: "Gentlemen, the starting price for this vase is 100,000 yuan, and each increase must be no less than 10,000 yuan..."

As soon as the auction began, Ye Bufan immediately shouted, "One million!"

After shouting the price, he glanced provocatively at Tian Sheng, as if to say, "Come on, try and beat that."

As a pampered young master, Tian Sheng certainly wouldn't care about this. He immediately shouted, "2 million!"

He didn't even hear what kind of vase it was, none of that mattered. What mattered was putting this kid down right here and now.

"Four million!"

"Eight million!"

"16 million!"

"32 million!"

In just a few seconds, the two people bid consecutively, driving the price of the vase up to 32 million yuan again.

Everyone around was dumbfounded, no one followed suit to bid.

"Kidding, only a fool would join that. It's clearly a losing proposition."

Ye Bufan didn't give the other party any reaction time at all. He directly raised the price to 32 million. Feeling that it was almost enough, he directly put down his number plate and withdrew from the bidding.

He Shuangshuang jumped in fright. She had already seen Ye Bufan's intention, completely treating Tian Sheng as a sucker to play with. Patting her own high chest, she said: "Xiaofan, don't do this anymore, okay"

"What if they just quit right away Would you really spend $16 million on something like this"

Ye Bufan smiled and said, "It's nothing, anyway, Qian Dashao has a lot of money, spending some big money doesn't matter at all."

Though their voices were soft, everyone around could hear what they were saying.

Tian Sheng only then came to his senses, and angrily said, "Boy, you actually tricked me"

Ye Bufan smiled and said, "Young Master Tian is indeed clever. It only took over 60 million to react. I thought you would have to pay a 100 million IQ tax!"

"You..."

Tian Sheng was so angry he was about to explode. Although he didn't care about the over 60 million, what was lost was face.

But after glancing at his companion Fei Tong, he ultimately held back.

"Kid, you better wait for me."

At this time, the third item was brought to the stage and the auction resumed.

This is an ancient sword about one meter and two long, with a width of seven or eight centimeters. However, it looks rusty and not very appealing.

But when he saw this ancient sword, Ye Bufan's eyes immediately flashed with an uncontrollable excitement.

He had seen the description of this sword on a promotional poster, named Dragon's Tooth, with an unknown age.

He didn't see anything different about the sword from just the photos and didn't think much of it.

But now it's different. Seeing the physical sword, I immediately sensed a strong aura emanating from it. This is definitely a good thing, even better than the spirit-binding bottle.

A spark of excitement flashed in his eyes, quickly suppressed by a desperate effort to hide his elation. He feared being discovered, for capturing this sword would undoubtedly cause him immense trouble.

Zhao Liya introduced: "This sword is called Longya, a newly unearthed good sword."

Collectors who love swords and weaponry must seize this opportunity! The starting price is 200,000, with a minimum bid increment of 10,000. Bidding starts now!ng the cave mouth, it spread its wings and soared into the sky. It looked like a dark cloud pressing down from above, radiating an aura of fear.These ants are gathered together but haven't launched an...
