Chapter 147 - 147 Malicious Bid
147 Malicious Bid
Shi Man had predicted it well. The final transaction price of the few pieces of wood that were carried up was far higher than the first piece of wood. The most expensive piece was even sold for three million dollars, but after cutting it open, the buyer lost everything.
The combined content of a few pieces of wood was not as much as the first piece of wood.
This made everyone present furious. When it was time for the next piece of wood, no one made a bid.
Shi Mu’s heart ached for his sister’s nails. He refused to let her spend any more effort peeling the pine nuts. He took the initiative to peel them for her patiently.
Shi Man ate with a smile. Hearing the host’s awkward reorganization, she looked up casually. Her eyes, which had been calm just now, were immediately tainted with a wicked smile.
“Interested?” Yuan Yi had been staring at her expression and saw it clearly. He could not help but ask curiously.
Shi Man nodded slightly. She picked up a stylus and slowly wrote a number on the machine in the middle of the table.
The host immediately announced in surprise, “The VIP in Private Room Three bid 30,000 dollars.”
Initially, he thought that no one would bid for this price. Just as the host was about to hammer down and finalize it, the machine in his hand suddenly rang again. He hurriedly put down the hammer and looked at it. He picked up the microphone excitedly and said, “The VIP in Private Room Four bid 100,000!”
“Private Room Four, isn’t that Ji Xue?” Shi Mu was not a fool. When so many pieces of wood were being auctioned just now, the private room next door seemed to be empty and there was no movement at all. Now that his sister had made a bid, the other party immediately increased the price. He immediately understood the other party’s intentions.
He couldn’t help but cheer his sister on. “Go ahead and fight with her. Our Shi family isn’t easy to bully.”
Shi Man smiled and did not say anything. She continued to write down the price of 200,000 dollars on the machine. As expected, the neighbor raised the price to 300,000 dollars.
The people in the two private rooms exchanged blows and soon raised the price by 15 times. It was already the same as the highest price of the previous bids.
Three million was not a small sum, but it was still not worth mentioning in Shi Mu’s eyes. He waved his hand and was about to write down four million when Shi Man raised her hand to stop him. Seeing that the host was about to start hammering, Shi Mu was anxious and did not want to lose to others. He could not help but say, “Sister, don’t stop me. Today, Brother wants to let others know that no one can snatch anything my sister likes!”
“I’m not stopping you.” Shi Man and Yuan Yi had planned something just now and stared at Shi Mu with evil smiles.
Shi Mu couldn’t help but shiver. “What’s wrong with the two of you? Why are you looking at me like that? Aiya, forget it. I have to increase the price quickly. That b*tch will really buy it later!”
“Brother.” Shi Man watched him write and leaned over softly. “Push it to five million.”
“Sure!” Shi Mu nodded without hesitation. He felt that he was very dashing for spending so much money on his sister. He sat at the side and smiled foolishly.
Yuan Yi and Shi Man looked at each other and saw the smug smile in each other’s eyes.
As early as when Ji Xue started to increase the price, Yuan Yi had already become suspicious. With his identity as one of the organizers, he pulled out the invitation records backstage and found the real sugar daddy behind Ji Xue.
The Ji family was just a small family. In his impression, Ji Xue had not been invited to this auction. Therefore, the reason why she could enter successfully became intriguing.
As expected, when Yuan Yi saw Wang Hai’s name, he immediately smiled and quietly explained to Shi Man, “This man surnamed Wang has a little background. His family business is mainly in the black market. He looks noble but only our people know that he’s famous for being stingy. He has countless women around him, but he’s unwilling to spend a single cent on them. Moreover, as far as I know, he never participates in wood gambling. Ji Xue must have touched his sore spot this time.”
Shi Man raised her eyebrows and asked, “Then with your understanding of Wang Hai, how much can he indulge Ji Xue?”
Yuan Yi slowly extended five fingers.
Shi Man smiled knowingly. “Then add this number.”
Yuan Yi was stunned and could not help but ask, “Aren’t you afraid that she won’t increase the price and lose money?”
“Don’t be afraid. She won’t give up such a good opportunity.” Shi Man smiled meaningfully. That was why she stopped Shi Mu just now and asked him to add an additional million yuan.
The price of five million had already reached the highest record in history. The host excitedly hammered the first time and said loudly, “Five million going once!”
Immediately after, he hammered a second time and continued, “Five million going twice!”
Seeing that the third hammer was about to land, everyone’s hearts were in their throats.
Wang Hai grabbed Ji Xue’s hand tightly. With anger and flattery, he gritted his teeth and said, “You can’t bid anymore. Didn’t you see that those people just now lost everything?”
