Chapter 818: Bidding
Noda Akisheng had just tried to make a bid, and was completely drowned out by the sound of bids one after another.
Junsheng Kojima's face changed for the first time since he entered the auction hall, although his bid had an element of temptation, but it was also carefully considered to find the right time, but the frenzy of the reaction on the scene was still far beyond his imagination, which meant that he might have to spend much more than the price in his heart to win the auction.
As for Noda Akisheng, he couldn't hold back the shock on his face, for a complete layman, such a situation simply made him feel speechless, in just five minutes, the auction price of this imperial wine cup exceeded the total output value of all his industries in a year, the total output value, not the profit.
The value of the Imperial Wine Cup was really reflected at this time, even if he knew in his heart that this Imperial Wine Cup was a fake former owner, Wen Lao, he couldn't help but stroke his gray beard slightly proudly at this time.
However, the worry in his heart also grew stronger with this pride, because the higher the value of the imperial wine cup, the greater the risk of him being criticized.
As the bids got higher and higher, most people had begun to gradually withdraw from the competition, and Noda's stiff bidding became conspicuous from time to time, and his slightly awkward accent and short stature finally made people realize their identity.
"Is it Japanese?"
"How can there still be Japanese, do they want to take pictures of our national treasures and take them out of the country?"
"If you look sneaky, you know that hiding in a corner is not a good thing at first glance!"
……
The hatred of the Japanese people is still very popular, and the exposure of the identities of Junsheng Kojima and Akio Noda temporarily diverted everyone's attention from the fierce competition in the imperial wine cup.
Kojima Junsheng's face became more and more ugly, not only because of the bad words of the people who participated in the auction, but also because the situation he was worried about still happened after all, the identity of the Japanese made him have many restrictions in the bidding process, if someone bids maliciously with him, it will make him lose more money, he really didn't expect that today's auction will have so many difficulties beyond his imagination, but this still can't stop his determination to win the imperial wine cup.
The auctioneer's raised voice finally dragged everyone's minds back to the bidding, and the person who wanted to win the imperial wine cup with this bid sighed helplessly, he knew that professional auctioneers would never allow him to succeed easily.
The bid of the Imperial Wine Cup was already in a relatively high position, and it was gradually approaching the transaction price of Master Shen and Wen Lao at that time, and there were only a few bidders left.
Junsheng Kojima still bid very calmly, and did not seem to be affected by the slight hostility of the previous crowd.
Strength is the best reliance after all, Noda Qiusheng glanced at Tao Zhaofa and the others who were sitting not far from them quite proudly, and the meaning in his eyes was obvious, that is, you can't participate in this level of competition, and he can only use it to comfort the bid that made his heart dripping blood again and again.
Unexpectedly, one of the bidders turned out to be Hao Jun's acquaintance, the husband of the middle-aged woman who had a conflict with Hao Jun and Yu Fang on the pedestrian street, Boss Zhou, sat next to him a young and beautiful girl, who was snuggling in his "broad" arms with a look of adoration, both rich and wealthy, and a sense of déjà vu of Zhu Bajie holding a beautiful daughter-in-law.
No one thinks that such a combination will be abrupt, but Boss Zhou's bid in a relaxed state is surprising, this man who shows the temperament of an upstart up and down seems to really can't be underestimated, does he really have such financial resources?
Those who withdrew from the competition and became spectators were also thrilled by this scene, after all, if this trend continues, they are about to witness the sky-high prices of national treasures, and they will have the capital to brag in front of their friends in the future.
Of course, Juno Kojima, who is a participant, is not as easy as it seems, and the current asking price is almost equal to the funds he raised, and if he continues, he will have to choose to use Noda Akio's funds, so that his relationship with Noda Akio may be reversed, which is a scene he does not want to see.
The battle between the Emperor's Wine Cup and this situation has been going on in his heart for a long time.
But in the end, the temptation of the emperor's wine cup still prevailed over reason, in addition to Boss Zhou, there was another middle-aged man who was dressed ordinarily but had an extraordinary bearing to give Kojima Chunsheng huge pressure, he was not as high-profile as Boss Zhou, and every bid seemed to be competing with him, and Kojima Chunsheng, who had participated in many auctions, was the most able to understand.
There are only three people left in the competition, and the speed of bidding is getting slower and slower, and every bidding is a suffocating atmosphere, because none of them shout out sky-high prices.
Hao Jun could clearly feel that at a certain moment, Master Shen's breathing began to become short, and in the face of the huge price difference that could be earned as soon as he changed hands, Master Shen's psychological expectations were obviously lower than what was happening on the scene, and he couldn't restrain himself from keeping a normal heart.
Yue Feiyang was full of interest and said with a smile: "Although Hao Jun has explained this situation a long time ago, he didn't expect it to be so popular, Wen Lao, it seems that if there is an opportunity in the future, it is better to send the invitation letter to the right person."
Wen Lao couldn't help but nod when he heard this, he and Yue Feiyang both ignored the effect of publicity, and habitually positioned customers within a certain range, with a lonely mood in the industry, but if they could introduce such enthusiastic capital, it would not be beneficial to the development of their industry.
"Alas, Hao Jun, you say, does this imperial wine cup have a chance to fall into the hands of these two Japanese, look at their tangled expressions every time they bid, is it a little shy!"
Yue Feiyang's tone was relaxed, it seemed that it was very reasonable for Hao Jun not to let them participate in it at the beginning, looking at the casualness of the boss that week, the calmness of the middle-aged man, and who the emperor's wine cup ended up with, it was really hard to say.
Hao Jun smiled, deliberately setting up a game, he didn't want to let the goal go home, it was not in line with his hospitality.
Yue Feiyang saw Hao Jun's calm expression, and knew that he had a charter in his heart after all, so he didn't ask too much, but if there was such an auction in the future, he could invite the young man to come over and serve as a staff officer.
The bidding finally reached a white heat, and Boss Zhou's hand around the beautiful girl was also tightened, and sometimes he would secretly look at the faces of the two Japanese and the middle-aged man, and some fine sweat on his forehead was already visible.
His small actions were essentially watched by most people.
The quiet middle-aged man tapped his fingers on his thighs much slower than before, and only he knew how nervous he was.
Junsheng Kojima bit his lip tightly, highlighting his unique stoicism and ruthlessness as a Japanese, especially his ruthlessness to himself, in fact, the current offer has exceeded his psychological expectations much, if it were not for the support of Noda Akisheng, he would have chosen to give up in the face of such pressure.
This is not only a battle of funds, but also a battle of psychology.
Most people didn't expect that two seemingly ordinary Japanese would have such strength, but if the Japanese really took down the imperial wine cup, it would definitely be a big shame for them, but at this time, all they could do was hold their breath and wait quietly for the result.
It was in such a tense and exciting atmosphere that Boss Zhou took the lead in withdrawing from the competition, he returned to a very indifferent appearance, and even muttered softly: "Don't fight, isn't it just a drinking cup, you can use it like this!"
After speaking, he glanced at the two Japanese and the middle-aged man, and flicked a few handfuls of enjoyment on the slender waist of the girl next to him, and some people were slightly hot.
The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth curled up in an arc, and the withdrawal of a fierce rival seemed to make his mood feel much lighter.
Junsheng Kojima clenched his fists secretly, and finally knocked down an opponent, but he knew that he still couldn't take it lightly, the middle-aged man was obviously more difficult, and he followed his beat every time, and maybe the boss that week was just retreating and putting smoke bombs, who knows if he will come out again.
"Kojima-kun, I'm afraid we don't have much money at our disposal, if you need it, I can raise some urgently, but ......"
Noda Akisheng wanted to speak and stopped, because he felt that it was really worthless to cut off the back road of two people just for a wine cup, but in the face of Kojima Junsheng's persistence, he couldn't deny it too bluntly.
When Kojima Junsheng heard this, he said softly: "Trouble Noda-kun, I know in my heart, if the combined funds of the two of us still can't win this imperial wine cup, it will be too cost-effective, I will accept it when I see it!"
Junsheng Kojima seemed to be red-eyed, but he was actually very sensible, he still had a task in this country, and it was impossible for him to put himself in a completely passive situation for the sake of an imperial wine cup, and the funds he was raising so far were the biggest price he thought he could pay, and there was room for redemption.
Noda Qiusheng smiled bitterly when he heard this, the so-called acceptance when he saw it, but he was already at the risk of bankruptcy.
The auctioneer obviously knows how to publicize this tense competitive atmosphere, and the time for closing the auction is delayed, and the smell of gunpowder for two people to bid directly has gradually become stronger.
Kojima was therefore more cautious, as his bids had reached his critical point, and his bids were already cautious.
Master Shen was already inhaling cool air, if he made a deal at this price, but this imperial wine cup would make his income more than five percent of the original.
After two cautious trials, Kojima Junsheng saw that the middle-aged man was still sitting firmly on Mount Tai, and finally quoted the final price set by gritting his teeth in his heart.
Then he looked at the middle-aged man with a nervous expression.
