Great Doctor Without Borders

Chapter 1215: A Pose

After the man in black made the identification, he turned around and sat down next to Mo Han.

Liang Shangjun said: "The reserve price for the bamboo slips is also two million. Now..." When he was about to announce the start of the auction, someone came over with a wooden box and whispered a few words in his ear.

Liang Shangjun showed a look of joy. He nodded, took the wooden box and opened it in front of everyone.

When everyone saw the items inside, they couldn't help but exclaimed, because there was an identical Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade huchun vase inside.

Liang Shangjun said, "This jade huchun vase was originally a pair. One was just sold, and there is still one left. Mr. Jiang decided to give this vase as a gift. Whoever wins the bamboo slips tonight will get the porcelain vase for free."

The atmosphere at the scene was instantly stirred up. Hua Zhuyue was so angry that her teeth itched. Wasn't this obviously a trick on them? They had just spent a whopping 23 million yuan to bid for a porcelain vase, and now the organizer actually took out an identical vase as an auction gift.

  The organizers must have come up with this dirty trick when they saw that the bamboo slips were not well received, but where would Hua Zhuyue's reputation be put by doing this?

At this moment, Mo Han turned around and looked at Hua Zhuyue again. Hua Zhuyue suppressed her anger and smiled at him. It was not a show of goodwill but a demonstration. She secretly made up her mind that you will never get what you want tonight as long as I am here.

Not many people were interested in the Warring States bamboo slips at the scene, but the appearance of a Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade huchun vase immediately piqued everyone's interest. The organizer had a set and even offered a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.

Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang have now become the victims of everyone's attention. The jade huchun vase that they just bought at a huge price actually has one left. Putting aside the price, they don't even know which one is real and which one is fake.

Liang Shangjun said: "The bamboo slips on display are only a part of them. There are 712 bamboo slips in total. If you win the bid, you can take all 712 away..." He paused and emphasized: "There is also this jade huchun vase."

Pu Jian and Chen Qianfan, who had just stood up and left, sat back down. Pu Jian shouted, "Let's get started!"

Liang Shangjun smiled slightly and said, "Little brother, please be patient. We must make things clear and we must also say the ugly words first."

Chen Qianfan said: "We want to see the jade huchun vase." It is normal for bidders to ask to inspect the items before participating in the auction.

But Liang Shangjun actually shook his head: "This time the auction item is a bamboo slip, and the jade huchun vase is just a gift, so there is no need for appraisal."

One-eyed Heavenly King Zhao Tiehan said, "Are you going to shoot or not? If you keep on talking nonsense, I will leave."

"Auction, auction! The auction is now officially open. There are 712 bamboo slips from the Warring States Period. They have been scientifically processed and sealed, and are basically intact. The writing on them is clearly legible. According to experts, it should be an ancient medical book. The starting price is two million!"

Xu Chunliang asked: "You only showed a few bamboo slips. Can you guarantee that it is a complete book?"

Liang Shangjun smiled and said, "I can guarantee that if it is not a complete book, we will compensate you at double the bid price. Okay, without further ado, the auction officially begins! The reserve price is two million..."

"thirty million!"

  The whole audience was silent for a moment. Who was this? How could this be so unethical? The other party started with a price of 2 million, but you directly offered 30 million. Did you throw away the other bidders?

Everyone looked and saw that the person holding the placard was Hua Zhuyue. With Hua Zhuyue's current status in the industry, many people present knew her, but different professions bring different worlds. Hua Zhuyue had never participated in a ghost market auction before. She had just bought a Yuan Dynasty blue and white jade huchun vase for 23 million yuan, and now she had directly pushed the price of the item up to 30 million yuan.

However, after a brief moment of surprise, everyone figured out the reason. Hua Zhuyue's target might not be the bamboo slips but another jade huchun vase. If both bottles were real, then the money she spent was worth it.

After Hua Zhuyue made the bid, she looked at Mo Han with a smile. Mo Han naturally noticed her gaze. She knew Hua Zhuyue's psychology better than anyone else. She had just deliberately raised the price of the jade huchun bottle to 23 million. Hua Zhuyue must have seen that she was determined to get the bamboo slips, so she came to her for retribution.

Even if Mo Han saw through Hua Zhuyue's motive, he had no choice but to follow. The man in black at the side raised a sign and said, "Thirty-one million."

Xu Chunliang noticed that the man in black raised the sign without consulting Mo Han, which was enough to prove that he did not need to consult Mo Han for his actions and his status in their camp was no less than that of Mo Han.

No one else had joined the auction. The price of more than 30 million yuan had already exceeded the psychological bottom line of most people. It was not just because of the money. Even the treasure could not be seen in public. A successful bid also meant taking on huge risks. They had to consider their own ability to bear it.

Xu Chunliang whispered something into Hua Zhuyue's ear.

Hua Zhuyue understood what he meant, smiled brightly, and continued to bid: "Fifty million!"

There was an uproar at the scene. It was not that they doubted Hua Zhuyue's ability, but the price was really outrageous. Hua Zhuyue was determined to get the bamboo slips.

Mo Han did not bid immediately. She stood up and said, "The auction in the ghost market has its own rules. As long as the deal is done, the goods must be delivered and the money must be paid tonight. Since I dare to bid, I can afford it. May I ask this sister, do you have enough money?" She glanced at the man in black beside her, and the man in black opened a suitcase full of US dollars: "There are five million US dollars in it. If it is not enough, I have another box. What can you use to prove that you have the strength to compete with me?"

Xu Chunliang knew that Hua Zhuyue only brought 2 million RMB today, which was just the threshold for participating in the auction. It was certainly incomparable with Mo Han's 10 million US dollars.

Hua Zhuyue smiled slightly and asked Xu Chunliang to open the suitcase. Everyone looked inside curiously and when they saw the color of the banknotes, they knew that Hua Zhuyue didn't seem to have enough money with her today.

There was a hint of contempt in Mo Han's eyes. Hua Zhuyue was underestimating him as he wanted to compete with him with only so much money.

Hua Zhuyue reached out and opened the compartment on the A side of the suitcase, and took out a file bag from it: "Here is the title deed of the villa in Deep Water Bay, Hong Kong. The area is about 1.6 square feet. The current market price is not less than million. Is it enough to prove it?"

Xu Chunliang didn't expect that Hua Zhuyue had already prepared a backup plan in advance and didn't even inform him in advance.

It is no coincidence that Hua Zhuyue has gained Ji Buyao's trust. After Ji Buyao disappeared, she quickly took control of the situation and led the entire Orchid Sect to transform. This is enough to show her ability and that she considers things very carefully. Only by carrying this house deed can she be prepared for any eventuality.

Mo Han sneered and said, "Who knows whether your house deed is real or fake?"

Hua Zhuyue retorted, "Who knows whether your money is real or fake?"

Mo Han said: "No matter how much you bid tonight, I will follow your offer!"

Hua Zhuyue said: "This bamboo slip is so important to you. Although I don't want it, I don't want you to get it either."

Xu Chunliang sat there like an outsider, and once the woman started a fight, he had no right to intervene.

So many people present were excited, with their eyes wide open waiting to watch the excitement. Since both sides were competing with each other, there was no possibility of giving up easily. Judging from the strength shown by both sides, the final bidding price tonight would definitely exceed 100 million. You have to know that this is a ghost market auction that cannot be seen in the light, and it is likely to create a record for the transaction in ghost market auctions in history.

Pu Jian knew both parties. From his point of view, these two people were Xu Chunliang's lovers. They were so aggressive not only to compete for the auction items, but also out of jealousy. Pu Jian sighed, it would be lively if Xu Chunliang came tonight, but it was a pity that this guy refused to come.

Pu Jian thought that if the two continued like this, it would be a situation where the fisherman would benefit from the conflict between the snipe and the clam, and the organizer would be the final winner. He whispered to Chen Qianfan, "Old Chen, why don't we come out and persuade them?"

Chen Qianfan lowered his voice and said, "It's not like you don't understand the rules of the Ghost Market. If we intervene, we will be the enemy of Master Jiang."

Pu Jian sighed and said, "Neither of them is willing to give in to the other. If this continues, the price will be high."

Liang Shangjun continued the auction, and Mo Han said, "Fifty-one million."

Liang Shangjun was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. The higher the price, the greater their profit would be. He wished the two would continue bidding.

When everyone was looking at Hua Zhuyue, expecting her to bid again, Hua Zhuyue chuckled and said, "Sister, how about this? You take the bamboo slips and I keep the bottle. Let's not ruin our relationship over such a small matter. What do you think?"

Mo Han was stunned for a moment. He thought Hua Zhuyue was going to fight with him to the end, but he didn't expect that she would actually give in. Of course, the concession was conditional. Hua Zhuyue wanted to take the jade vase for free.

Of course Mo Han can refuse. If she refuses, Hua Zhuyue will definitely continue bidding, and it is still unknown how the bidding will end. Although Mo Han is competitive, she also needs to know who her opponent is. Hua Zhuyue definitely has the strength to compete with her, and Hua Zhuyue and Xu Chunliang have a very good relationship. If she becomes enemies with Hua Zhuyue, Xu Chunliang probably will not stand on her side.

Mo Han believed that Hua Zhuyue was most likely commissioned by Xu Chunliang. Anyway, his real target was not the Yuhuchunping. Instead of fighting with Hua Zhuyue and both of them would suffer losses, it would be better for them to make concessions.

Mo Han nodded and said, "The bottle is yours!"

Just now, she had tricked Hua Zhuyue during the auction of the Yuhuchun Vase, and now Hua Zhuyue retaliated in the same way. Fortunately, both parties reached a tacit understanding in time and regained their respective faces.

Hua Zhuyue spent 23 million to get two blue and white porcelain jade vases, while Mo Han spent 51 million to buy the long-lost "Huangdi Waijing", so both of them got what they wanted.

The competitive bidding scene that everyone was looking forward to did not happen in the end, which inevitably caused some disappointment. Except for the three successful bidders, other irrelevant people chose to leave one after another.
