Chapter 782 - 782 Surprise
782 Surprise
“Oh?”
Ninth Sister Ye Xue was stunned for a moment. She did not expect these calligraphy and painting masters to want to buy this calligraphy piece as they spoke.
Previously, they still looked disdainful. Now, they were actually going to start buying it. Wasn’t this change too big?
Thinking of this, Ninth Sister Ye Xue was about to speak when the masters started bidding.
“I’ll pay two million. How about you sell it to me, Dr. Ye?”
“Old Xu, that’s not right. This calligraphy piece can’t be so cheap, right? I’ll pay eight million.”
“Hehe, Masters, this is a little like the pot calling the kettle black. Since everyone wants it, I think we should bid for it. I’ll bid 20 million!”
“Twenty million? Old Liu, you’re really going all out, aren’t you? In that case, don’t blame me for disregarding your feelings. I’ll pay 30 million! I really won’t give up on this calligraphy piece!”
“Hehe, I’m sorry, everyone. I bid 50 million!”
“Fifty million? Why are you risking so much? I’ll give you 51 million!”
“What a joke. Who would raise the price by a million yuan? Has Master Liu encountered an economic crisis? Then I advise you not to participate in this auction. I’ll bid 70 million yuan! Everyone, I’m sorry. It seems that I want it more.”
“Hehehe, I’ll bid 80 million. I won’t say anything else to you. I like this calligraphy piece too much.”
“I like it too much. Can you please do me a favor? I’ll pay 90 million.”
“You want a favor, but I want a favor too. A hundred million! I’m going all out today!”
“This…”
The masters were clearly a little hesitant. After all, Master Zhang’s bid of 100 million yuan was simply a little daunting. They were a little unwilling to spend this money.
However, looking at this calligraphy piece, everyone really wanted it. It was as if they found a partner they liked in the vast sea of people. They probably knew that they did not want to give it up and wanted to own it.
It was this feeling that made the masters make up their minds. Then, they bid.
“I’m going all out too. I’ll add 10 million!”
“I’ll add 20 million!”
“Then I’ll add another 10 million. I bid 140 million!”
“Let me see who wants to raise the price!”
“Are the masters really going all out? This is a matter of ruining our family’s wealth. It’s not worth it. It’s really not worth it. I think you should just give it to me. I’ll add another 20 million!”
“What??? Master Zhang, are you really going all out? You’re not running that shop anymore. You’re working so hard. This calligraphy piece might not be worth this price when you get it. You have to think carefully!”
“That’s right. Don’t cry when the time comes!”
“Forget it, forget it. I’m already old. I really can’t fight you guys so hard. This 160 million is my capital. I can’t take out any more money. Master Zhang, it seems that I can only give it to you. Sigh, what a pity.”
“It’s indeed a pity. Master Zhang is really rich.”
“I can’t compare. I can’t compare. Sigh.”
As the masters spoke, they began to sigh in pity. They had no choice. They really couldn’t compare to the other party and couldn’t fork out such a high price.
The old antique experts at the side were a little shocked. They did not expect a calligraphy piece to be crazily snatched by the calligraphy and painting masters. They even bid for such a high price. It was really ridiculous.
However, since the calligraphy and painting masters dared to work so hard, it meant that this calligraphy piece was indeed something. It was indeed impressive.
At the thought of this, the old antique experts were very emotional. Some even wanted to participate in the bidding, but the price was too high.
They could only sigh and feel regretful.
As for Master Zhang, when he saw that no one had raised the price and given up, he finally heaved a sigh of relief. This was because if he continued to raise the price, he would not be able to take it out. Even with 170 million, he would have to sell a lot of his assets. His heart must be aching.
However, if he could obtain this calligraphy piece and sell it, he would have to flip through the stack of cash. At that time, he would naturally be rich.
Thinking of this, Master Zhang was quite happy. Hence, he looked at Ye Xue and smiled.
“Then it’s settled. I bid 170 million. Dr. Ye, sell this to me.”
Ninth Sister Ye Xue was also speechless. She sighed and spoke.
“I haven’t even expressed my stance, but the masters have already started bidding. Sigh, I’m sorry. After all, my little brother personally wrote this calligraphy piece for me. The meaning is different, so… I hope everyone can forgive me. I’m really sorry.”
With that said, she took the calligraphy piece and walked to the counter. He looked at the staff and spoke.
“Hello, help me frame it. Thank you.”
“Okay, please wait a moment.”
The staff jogged over and picked up the calligraphy piece to take a look. His expression immediately grew tense, but he did not say anything. He looked at Ye Xue and turned around to frame it.
The masters also followed, especially Master Zhang. He did not expect that Ye Xue would not sell it for 170 million. This was indeed unexpected, so he followed her and spoke.
“Dr. Ye, look at this 170 million. This price is indeed very high. Do you want to consider it?”
The other masters also echoed.
“That’s right, Dr. Ye. The meaning of what your little brother wrote for you is indeed different, but you can get your little brother to write for you at any time. However, it’s different for us. It’s rare for us to see this calligraphy piece. Why don’t you do us a favor?”
“Dr. Ye, just sell it to us!”
“Take it that we’re begging you on Old Zhang’s behalf. This calligraphy piece can only be chanced upon by luck. It’s really rare. I’m really begging you!”
“Moreover, it’s 170 million yuan. Think about it, Dr. Ye. This price is so rare. Many people can’t even think of such a huge sum of money. You can get this money with just a calligraphy piece. How worth it!”
“That’s right, Dr. Ye. It’s really worth it. Think about it. It’s really too worth it.”
Ninth Sister Ye Xue was speechless when she heard the chattering masters pleading for mercy. Then, she continued.
“Sigh, masters, I really don’t have the intention to sell this calligraphy piece. I’m really sorry. This is also the first time my little brother has written a calligraphy piece for me. It’s very meaningful. I’m really sorry.”
No matter how hard they tried, Ye Xue still refused to sell. The masters were helpless. They looked at Ye Xue in a dilemma and let out a long sigh. They returned to their seats helplessly and sighed.
At the same time, they were also very shocked. In this era, they did not expect someone to be unmoved by money. Moreover, it was such a high price of 170 million.
Not everyone could resist the temptation of this price. It was simply amazing.
It was simply breathtaking and unbelievable.
