Li Qiang was a bit surprised, but still raised his paddle knowingly, "2 million!"
Zhang Huang looked unexpectedly at seat 19, "The guest at seat 19 has bid 2 million, is there a higher bid?"
"Seat 39 bids 2.2 million!"
Luofeng jumped past 2.4 million, and even skipped the taboo price of 2.5 million, directly to 2.6 million.
Being decisive sometimes can scare off opponents.
But if you don't have money, you definitely shouldn't do this. After all, if you could have bought it for 2.3 million and you spent so much more, you've taken a loss.
But Luofeng wasn't afraid of losing money.
He just wanted to be clean and efficient, and looking at the situation, such an item was impossible to win at 2.3 million.
So there was no risk of overbidding.
"2.6 million!" Li Qiang started to raise his paddle.
This price was a bit high, and since the competitor was seat 19, who had just bought a watch, everyone knew he had considerable means and naturally didn't want to compete.
Failing to compete and offending others, instead of earning for the auction house, was unnecessary.
And actually, the auction house also employs astroturfing; they hike the price when they see someone particularly likes an item. But they have to consider what to do if the guest suddenly stops bidding.
Also, Li Qiang knew people at the auction house, given their collaboration.
Therefore, the auction house's astroturfing wouldn't make things difficult for Li Qiang, as the price was already high enough.
Soon, Luofeng won the ruby, and Luofeng took the initiative to say, "Babe, I'm planning to give this ring to my mom. Do you want a ring too?"
Bai Ningbing pouted, "Don't think you can trick me!"
Is this silly guy thinking something else?
Alright.
Giving a ring?
Seems like it carries deep meaning?
Deeper than Bai Ningbing in the morning for a few minutes....
Soon, items began to be auctioned one by one, most of them sold, with only a few items going unsold.
Bai Ningbing was already bored and started yawning.
She even started sneaking fantasies about what might happen with Luofeng afterward tonight.
Don't think girls won't imagine; they are six times more amorous than men, okay.
But actually, women in their early twenties are fine.
At this age, most women still have their minds on sweet love.
In contrast, men at this age are at their peak.
Therefore, men's and women's peak periods don't actually align.
Therefore, truly speaking, women at thirty and men at twenty are the most compatible.
So? That's why that 87-year-old lady and a 02-born young guy are so inseparably attached!
So, everyone knows now why even kids nowadays understand, "Aunties are treasures," right?
When peak meets peak, it's like Wang Chongyang meeting Dugu Qiubai; expert meets expert, isn't it thrilling?
Just as Bai Ningbing was about to fall asleep, Luofeng reminded her, "Babe, the pink diamond you like is up next!"
Bai Ningbing immediately sat up straight and responded, "Too expensive, let's just look, don't bid!"
Luofeng held Bai Ningbing's soft hand with a smile and didn't reply.
"Next up is a big auction item! It's the Heart of Protection from Bulgari! I won't introduce it much; I'm sure you all know it, starting bid at 80 million, each raise by no less than 1 million!" Zhang Huang said.
The work of an auctioneer is actually not as simple as it seems to everyone.
Just getting on stage and yelling a few lines?
But actually, a great auctioneer needs to stir up the room's emotions because some wealthy people decide to spend money on a whim.
Because they can buy, or not, so when the atmosphere is right, someone might suddenly raise a paddle, right?
Also, an hour-long big voice is needed to shout.
Over time, this job is actually not that simple.
Li Qiang was secretly excited seeing the Heart of Protection on stage, because if Luofeng won it, he would profit too.
Luofeng nodded at Li Qiang, indicating him to join the bidding.
Luofeng also glanced at the noblewoman, not paying her heed, and entered 95 million on his phone again.
"95 million!" Li Qiang immediately bid.
The middle-aged woman finally turned to look at Luofeng, who nodded and smiled in return.
The other's meaning was she wouldn't bid anymore.
Because at 95 million, the price was already quite high.
After the middle-aged woman gave up, the others also abandoned the item.
Luofeng successfully bought it.
"Congratulations to guest 19 for acquiring Bulgari's Heart of Protection!" Zhang Huang congratulated.
Upon winning the item.
Luofeng quietly started calculating.
He had about 60 million in credit left.
Luofeng couldn't leave it unspent.
After all, he couldn't waste the credit; he'd buy even if he didn't like the items.
So the following auctions were almost like a show for Luofeng.
He participated in almost every auction.
After bidding on about twenty items, he finally squeezed the credit down to around one million remaining.
"Why are you buying so much stuff?" Bai Ningbing asked several times.
Luofeng had smiled without answering the previous times.
But this time, Luofeng began to reply, "Before, Chen Dali and the others gave me presents, and I need to return the favor!"
Just an excuse.
Easily came up with, right?
