Chapter 1323 Fighting and Snatching
Jiang Manman didn't dare to play; she wasn't confident enough in herself to that extent. She would only squander money.
Once the price reached 50 million, no one dared to bid higher.
Even if Wu Ailan now prefers Liang Chen, it's not worth spending 50 million like this.
So after calling out several times without anyone raising the price, the gift was given to Huo Yanchen.
The auction is not over yet. Once the auction ends, the items you win will be delivered to you.
The auction continued, and there were many more items to be acquired. Huo Yanchen observed Jiang Manman's expression. Even if Jiang Manman didn't say anything, he could tell from her expression whether she liked it or not. As long as Jiang Manman showed the slightest interest, Huo Yanchen would buy it at a high price.
However, every time Huo Yanchen made a bid, Liang Chen would compete with him.
Of course, he didn't have the ability; he couldn't compete with Huo Yanchen. In the end, Huo Yanchen got everything he wanted.
Although Liang Chen didn't manage to snag the item, seeing Huo Yanchen spend so much more money gave him some comfort. At least it reduced Huo Yanchen's funds considerably. Huo Yanchen is rich, so let him spend more.
Huo Yanchen was perfectly aware of Liang Chen's little scheme; he was still too naive.
Huo Yanchen has plenty of money and doesn't care about this small amount. As long as he gets what he wants, he feels it's worth it no matter how much it costs.
The item up for auction is a gemstone ornament carved into the shape of a phoenix.
This ornament is exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. It was carved from a single piece of pure natural gemstone, which already makes it quite expensive. Add to that the excellent craftsmanship, and the starting bid alone is fifty million.
However, as soon as this ornament came out, many people liked it. If you take it home and put it in the office, it will definitely make you look good.
However, everyone glanced at Huo Yanchen first, wondering what he was thinking. If Huo Yanchen also wanted it, then it would definitely be his, and no one else could possibly take it from him.
However, it's unclear whether Huo Yanchen has this idea, so initially, everyone was still raising the price.
"Huo Yanchen, do you like this?" Jiang Manman asked softly.
She wasn't sure if Huo Yanchen would bid on it, since he had already bought a lot before.
She, being a girl, wasn't particularly interested in this, but judging from the exclamations of the people around her, they must really like it. Huo Yanchen might like it too, right?
“I have plenty of these kinds of ornaments at home, but it wouldn’t be a bad idea to take a picture of one for my father-in-law.”
Huo Yanchen can have it or not; it's just made of gemstones. He has many similar items at home, including top-grade jade and antique ornaments that are thousands of years old.
So he wasn't very interested in this.
He observed that Jiang Manman didn't seem to like it that much, so Huo Yanchen didn't plan to have it.
"No, no, my dad doesn't want it. If you spend so much money to buy it, you might as well invest that money in me. Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. You still have to support me for the rest of my life. If you spend all the money now, what will you do in the future?"
Jiang Manman's tone was urgent; she really didn't want it, and her father certainly wouldn't want it either.
Huo Yanchen nodded; he could choose not to bid on this.
but……
Huo Yanchen is a man who always seeks revenge. It seems someone just cheated him out of a lot of money. Although he doesn't lack it, it doesn't mean he's stupid.
Why not take advantage of this opportunity and return it all?
Huo Yanchen looked at the gemstone ornaments over there, showing great interest.
The price was being bid up online, quickly reaching hundreds of millions, and eventually peaking at 230 million.
Although it's beautiful and luxurious, it's just a gemstone ornament, and it's not worth spending that much money.
At this moment, Huo Yanchen made his move: "Three hundred million."
Jiang Manman pulled Huo Yanchen aside and whispered, "What's wrong with you? Didn't I just tell you that I don't like it, and my dad doesn't like it either? Don't waste your money on this. I don't think you particularly like it either."
Huo Yanchen has already said that he has a lot of these things, which seem like things he doesn't want, so why is he bidding for them now?
Jiang Manman didn't understand, but as soon as she finished speaking, she heard someone next to her call out a price.
It's Liang Chen.
"Three hundred and fifty million." Liang Chen held up the sign.
Wu Ailan looked at him and said, "This is your own choice to compete with Huo Yanchen, it has nothing to do with me. Besides, you said yourself that Huo Yanchen will definitely win the bid in the end. You just need to raise the price and make him pay more money. Don't mess things up in the end. If you mess things up, I will definitely not help you, and you will have to pay for it yourself."
After all, with so much money involved, Wu Ailan isn't some sucker. Even if she's keeping a kept man, there should be limits.
With so much money, she could support many more gigolos.
Liang Chen was very confident: "Don't worry, sister. Huo Yanchen is very interested in this item, and he'll definitely keep bidding. I'm not asking for much, just 500 million. Once Huo Yanchen raises it to 500 million, I won't participate further."
Five hundred million is enough to teach Huo Yanchen a lesson.
"Anyway, you know what you're doing." Wu Ailan didn't care about anything else.
Liang Chen lowered his eyes, his gaze filled with hatred, but he was certain that Huo Yanchen would raise the price.
The auction is almost halfway through. After this item is auctioned, there will be a half-hour break. Huo Yanchen has already bid on several items, all of which were won by Huo Yanchen after Liang Chen raised the bids.
Therefore, Liang Chen will continue to raise the price of Huo Yanchen's bets this time.
Sure enough, after he added it, Huo Yanchen raised his sign again: "Four hundred million."
People around were whispering among themselves, thinking that President Huo was indeed powerful, spending four hundred million without batting an eye.
But everyone knows that this is not the ceiling yet, and some people speculate that it may be able to fetch a price of 500 million.
And that kid over there, he'll definitely keep calling President Huo "boss." He seems to have a big grudge against President Huo and has been targeting him all along.
Liang Chen continued to call out, "Four hundred and twenty million."
Jiang Manman also looked towards Liang Chen, her lips pressed tightly together, hoping that Liang Chen would stop calling out.
She had already seen through Huo Yanchen's intentions. Huo Yanchen didn't want the item; he just wanted to teach Liang Chen a lesson. If Liang Chen didn't know when to stop, he would be in big trouble.
It's unclear where Liang Chen got the money to save the Liang family, but over 400 million is no small sum for them. Even if President Wu were willing to invest, it's impossible for him to invest that much money to buy this for Liang Chen.
It's obvious that Liang Chen is currently obsessed and doesn't want to think about anything.
At this moment, Huo Yanchen continued to raise his paddle: "Four hundred and fifty million."
Liang Chen felt that everything was going according to plan, and he was very happy.
