The family has a president

Chapter 21 Mysterious Jade Box
"Everyone, please be quiet first, and let me introduce the general situation of this bead. This is a secret treasure Buddha bead from Tantric Buddhism, but no one can tell clearly about its origin and age, but it can Being revered by Buddhism as a secret protection must have its special features, and friends who are interested in this field can try to make an offer. The base price is 10 yuan, and the bidding starts at [-] yuan." The master of ceremonies introduced.

Lin Hao wanted to bid at the first moment, but he stopped abruptly when he got to the point of his mouth. I am a pauper in China now, so what should I buy?

After pondering for a while, Lin Hao turned his head to look at Mu Yuqing. At this time, Mu Yuqing had already noticed Lin Hao's abnormality. When he saw Lin Hao turned his head, he asked first, "Do you want this bead?"

For the first time, Lin Hao showed a serious expression on his face, "Yes, I want it. You bid for me first, and I will find a way to return the money to you."

Mu Yuqing was also taken aback by his rarely serious expression, nodded after hesitating, "The money will be deducted from your commission."

After speaking, she directly raised the sign in her hand, "15."

The clean and neat quotation immediately surprised the venue.

The Mu family, who was stunned for a while before but remained silent for a long time, finally made a move!
It's just... What does Mu Yuqing want this bead for?
When everyone was thinking about this question, the emcee at the scene was dumbfounded.

This is... the end?
Although it looks a bit ugly, and although its origin is a bit vague, it is still an antique, and it was sold for 15 yuan at one time?

After waiting for a long time, no one offered an offer, so the master of ceremonies could only pick up the hammer with a sad face.

"The first time of 15 yuan...the second time of 15 yuan...the third time of 15 yuan...success...deal."

Seeing the hammer fall in the master of ceremonies, Lin Hao's eyes also popped out.

What's the situation, 15 yuan actually took the Bingzi bead?That's Bingzizhu? !Then why did the Bingzizhu be worth only 300 yuan when it cost a total of 15 million yuan?

The people at the scene looked at me and I looked at you, and most of them shook their heads helplessly. Now that things have happened, who dares to bid for things with people from the Mu family?Just kidding, look at the courage of those foreigners just now, if they are forced to make a move by those foreigners, it will be a waste of time, instead of doing this, it is better to be a favor to the Mu family!

Surprised by surprise, Lin Hao still suppressed the excitement in his heart, and smiled at Mu Yuqing who was beside him, "Thank you, wife."

Mu Yuqing pursed her lips, with a "stay away from me" expression on her face.

"Okay, I'll invite Miss Mu to come to the backstage to pick up the Buddhist beads that I bid. So tonight's auction is almost coming to an end." The master of ceremonies said with a smile on his face.
"As the finale of tonight's treasure, I hope it can draw a perfect conclusion for tonight's auction. Please watch the screen."

Before the words were finished, the whole venue suddenly became commotion, and almost everyone focused their full attention on the big screen in front of them.

Lin Hao also narrowed his eyes slowly, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

What kind of treasure is it that is worthy of the attention of the rich and powerful in Jinhai?

What appeared on the screen was a jade box.

A jade box the size of a cigarette box is white all over, but it is not without flaws. On the contrary, there are many strange patterns inlaid on the body of the box. No matter the quality of jade or the degree of exquisite carving, it is not as good as those precious jades. It was more than a star and a half.

Can this kind of thing also become the finale secret treasure?

Lin Hao looked around in confusion, but found that everyone around him was staring at this jade box, not at all lost interest because of the ordinaryness of this jade box.

Lin Hao was a little depressed. There was no information about this jade box in the report of the boy Gray. What's so precious about this thing?

After being depressed for a while, Lin Hao turned his head and asked Mu Yuqing who was beside him.

Mu Yuqing also shook her head, and said with some uncertainty: "I don't know much about this thing, but I heard that this is not the first time this thing has been put up for auction. It has been auctioned many times in various places in China before. An ancient martial arts sect is an unattractive artifact that contains astonishing secret treasures."

"The auction rules for this box are also a bit special. The person who wins the bid can only own it for one month. If he can unlock the secrets inside within one month, he may recommend someone to enter the ancient martial arts sect for training, and You can marry a female disciple in the sect; and if you can't solve the secret inside after a month, you must return this jade box to the original owner."

"Ancient Wu Sect?" Lin Hao opened his mouth, "What is that?"

"I don't know very well. They are all in contact with the top families in China, which is too far away for us." Mu Yuqing said in a low voice with a faint longing on her face, "It is also because of this that these places Only the small families in the world are flocking to this jade box, and they all want to rely on luck to get a little relationship with those ancient martial arts sects."

Lin Hao shook his head amusedly, "Is it worth so many people throwing money at this crappy box for such an empty promise?"

Mu Yuqing glanced at Lin Hao like a monster, and said in a low voice: "Those rich and nobles don't lack money or status, what they lack is a sense of security. Now, among the top families, which family doesn't have a few top guards? Gu Martial arts masters are absolutely sought-after in the circles of those top families, rare treasures with high prices but no market. But the threshold of those ancient martial arts sects is too high, not everyone can enter. Now that there is such an opportunity, those wealthy families Aristocrats don’t rush to grab it?”

"As for the issue of reputation, those ancient martial arts sects are old-fashioned, and they value reputation more than their lives. Who would make fun of such a thing? What's more, after cracking the secret, they can still get a female disciple of Yanluogu sect. It is said that the female disciples under Yanluogu's sect are all stunning, which man is not tempted? Besides, once this female disciple is married, it basically means that the family is tied to Yanluogu, which will boost the confidence of a family Absolutely immeasurable!"

After listening to this, Lin Hao basically understood. To put it bluntly, people from the ancient martial arts sect probably wanted to find someone to unlock the secret of the jade box, so they created this "tour auction" drama; and Those rich and nobles wanted to use this opportunity to find a backer and train a reliable thug for their family by the way.

It's just, what's the trick in this jade box, even the members of the ancient martial arts sect can't solve it, so they need to find people everywhere to try their luck like a blind man like this?

At the threshold of Lin Hao's endless thoughts, the scene has already started a crazy price hike, which has soared to 1000 million in the blink of an eye.

For these people who are not short of money, it is more important to have one more perverted thug under their hands than to earn tens of millions, so right now they are throwing money here and there almost regardless of the cost, and they all follow suit. Like chicken blood, with red eyes and thick neck, soaring prices.

I don't know why the group of foreigners looked at each other, but none of them understood why these Chinese people went crazy like this for an ordinary jade box.

It's no wonder that those foreign Chinese always say that Huaxia is "people are stupid and have a lot of money".

However, when the price soared to 2000 million, the venue gradually began to quiet down.Although this opportunity is indeed mouth-watering, there are still certain risks after all. If the secret cannot be solved, all the money invested will be in vain!It's okay to throw a few million for a gamble, but if you really want to gamble with tens of millions, the bet seems a bit big.

After all, no one's money is blown by strong winds, and gambling with tens of millions, not everyone can block it.

The master of ceremonies on the stage saw that the scene had calmed down, and finally picked up the hammer in a patiently excited mood and prepared to finish it. Although this jade box was not the first time that the price of tens of millions was paid, every time it would make her There is a feeling of trepidation.

But just when she was about to start counting down the quotations, another voice suddenly came from the venue.

"Wait, I'll offer 3000 million."

There was an uproar in the venue, and everyone was shocked to find out that the person who made the offer was actually Min Zhiguo, who had failed to compete for the Bu Yaozhu hairpin before!
Although this Min Zhiguo was engaged in a shady business, no one dared to doubt his financial resources, but the 1000 million price increase like this still shocked everyone.

After all, making money from crooked ways comes quickly. Look at Min Zhiguo, who directly adds 1000 million to 1000 million. Those who don’t know really think that his family is printing money!

No one dared to follow 2000 million, let alone 3000 million. After a while, the sound of the hammer fell, and this extremely mysterious jade box finally belonged to Min Zhiguo without any suspense.

And with the sale of the jade box, the auction was completely over. After getting up and exchanging polite greetings, everyone began to go back home in twos and threes, and those who got the items stayed to inspect the treasures.

The Bingzi bead is too inconspicuous, and there is no one to borrow it to watch it. Lin Hao took the bead and stuffed it into his pocket before walking out.

It was already midnight, and the wind blowing over brought a chill.

Lin Hao consciously ran over and drove the car out, but he didn't want to meet Mr. Mu Guozhang, who was full of enthusiasm and excitement at the door. It's just that the old man was happy, but when he saw Lin Hao, his whole face immediately turned pale. It stinks down.

Well, it seems that this old man really doesn't want to see me... Lin Hao scratched his head depressingly, and said goodbye to the old man awkwardly, only to get a coaxing cold snort from the old man.

Lin Hao didn't bother to put his hot face on his cold butt, so Mu Yuqing walked away as soon as he stepped on the gas pedal.

In the middle of the night, the traffic on the road was significantly less. While humming a tune, Lin Hao held the steering wheel with one hand and steered the car steadily. At this moment, a dazzling light suddenly reflected on the rear view mirror. !

Lin Hao raised his eyes, and the corner of his mouth suddenly raised a wicked smile.
