A brief silence was followed by an explosive boil.
“What? Did I hear it right? Did someone just offer 10 million?!”
“It seems to be true! Someone really did bid $10 million!”
“It’s 10 million at the first opening, this …… is too F**king horrible!”
“What kind of person is it, so powerful!”
Everyone in the room was in an uproar, all eyes were looking towards Li Nan, they all wanted to see what kind of divine person such a person was who opened his mouth and took out 10 million, only unfortunately, they all had no information about this fresh-faced man in front of them.
Zhang Zhilong had already turned his head, and when he saw that the person who had just shouted out 10 million was no other than Lai Nan, whom he had just despised, his face immediately turned gloomy.
Not only had this fellow just been treated more respectfully than himself at Han Qin’s place, but now he had also directly offered a sky-high price, making his original high price nothing compared to his own, and even everyone’s focus had shifted to him, which made Zhang Zhilong feel very unhappy.
And Han Qin, who was sitting beside Li Nan, was also looking at him with amazement at this moment.
To be honest, she almost thought that Li Nan was joking, because just now, Li Nan had no intention to open the bidding, but after asking himself that one question, he had directly increased the auction price from two million to a sky-high price of ten million.
This is unbelievable!
At this moment, the hostess on the stage was also completely shocked and stunned, and hadn’t reacted for a long time.
“Sir, you …… how much did you just bid? Can you say it again?” It’s not that the host didn’t hear it, she just didn’t quite dare to believe it, so she needed to confirm it again.
“I said, I bid 10 million!” Li Nan’s voice was very flat.
“Sir, I need to remind you that if you succeed in auctioning this brooch, you are required to pay immediately.” After all, this was ten million dollars, even for those wealthy people with hundreds of millions of a*sets, it was not that easy to come up with ten million dollars for the event all at once.
“Of course, since I’m bidding, of course I’ll pay.” Li Nan conversely felt that the host’s reminder was a bit redundant.
At this, the crowd became even more excited.
To be able to come up with 10 million in a single scene, that at least meant that the young man in front of him must be worth several hundred million, if not more!
“Okay, I understand, this …… gentleman, may I ask what is your name?”
“My surname is Lai.”
“This Mr. Lai is bidding $10 million, is there anyone else bidding higher, please?” The host asked towards the stage.
The crowd on stage laughed bitterly, even if this brooch was worn by Lin Shiyun again, 10 million was already far more than its value.
Everyone felt that no one would ever offer a higher price.
But at that moment.
“I bid eleven million!” A voice suddenly rang out.
The one who said this was no other than Zhang Zhilong!
At this moment, the scene once again boiled over.
Eleven million! That’s a million dollars!
Everyone’s attention immediately returned to Zhang Zhilong’s body.
“D*mn, it seems that Mr. Long has just gotten into it with Mr. Li this time!”
“It’s really young Long! It seems that he is determined to win this time!”
The crowd was all talking.
Zhang Zhilong’s face, on the other hand, was full of confidence.
He was a man with the best face, he had already bragged in front of Han Qin that he was going to come out on top of the charity auction, now of course he couldn’t possibly lose to such a rash man, let alone let this rash man steal the limelight that belonged to him!
Moreover, Zhang Zhilong actually had a bottom in his heart.
He felt that the 10 million should already be the maximum psychological price for Li Nan, or at most, Li Nan could add another million, which would be considered the top, while Zhang Zhilong’s maximum psychological price would be 13 million!
But today, for the sake of his own face, for the sake of his future status and prestige in the circle, Zhang Zhilong felt that he had to spend this money!
No matter what, he had to beat this Li guy who came out of nowhere!
“One …… eleven million?!” The hostess was so excited that her hand was trembling as she held the microphone.
She had hosted many charity auctions, but there had never been a time when such a sky-high price had been paid!
“It’s really worthy of Young Dragon! Throwing a thousand dollars at the drop of a hat is simply amazing!” The hostess excitedly praised.
“I don’t think anyone would have offered higher now ……”
“Twenty million!” That voice from before rang out again, still as flat as ever.
“Oh my God!!!”
“Holy Sh*t, did I hear it right!!!”
The crowd in the room was so excited that they were going crazy.
Twenty million dollars! An ordinary brooch had fetched twenty million dollars! This was simply terrifying!
Even those collectible antiques rarely fetch such a sky-high price!
Was this man, Li, crazy? Or is this $20 million nothing to him at all?
All of a sudden, everyone’s eyes looked at Li Nan, and some even simply stood up, wanting to take a closer look at Li Nan’s dignity.
Han Qin, who was beside him, was almost unable to sit still at this moment.
Her whole body was so excited that she was about to stand up from her seat.
Twenty million dollars! That was twenty million dollars!
If Han Qin hadn’t known that Li Nan was the big money maker who had spent hundreds of millions on an entire gold street in one go, she wouldn’t have believed that anyone would really be willing to spend twenty million on an ordinary brooch!
Buying a gold street for hundreds of millions of dollars, living in Villa No. 1 on Nine Dragons Hill, and now throwing away 20 million dollars to buy a brooch, at this moment, Han Qin only felt that this ordinary looking man in front of her was like an enigma!
What kind of an existence was this man!
Even though Han Qin had been in the upper cla*s circle for many years, she had never seen another person who could compete with Li Nan!
“Twenty …… twenty …… twenty million?!” That hostess was so excited at the moment that she couldn’t even speak properly.
“Sir, are you …… really saying that?” The hostess couldn’t believe it.
“Of course.” Lai Nan said indifferently.
The crowd in the room was already completely boiling.
“Now then, is there anyone else raising their bid?” The hostess felt that her words were like a nonsense.
An ordinary brooch had already fetched $20 million, and it would be a hell of a lot more if there were any more bids!
Many people’s eyes looked towards Zhang Zhilong.
At this moment, Zhang Zhilong’s face had already turned gloomy, and he was so angry that he clenched his fist.
He had thought that the other party would at most raise another million, but he had never expected that this Li would directly raise it to 20 million!
20 million for a brooch? Zhang Zhilong felt that even if he was crazy, he couldn’t be that crazy!
Seeing that Zhang Zhilong had no intention of raising the price, the crowd all murmured.
“I’ll go, even Young Dragon doesn’t dare to follow through this time!”
“This time, Young Long has fallen on his face, to meet such a rival!”
“Even Young Long has lost? What kind of person is this Li? He’s too powerful!”
Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Zhang Zhilong’s heart became even more irritated.
At this point, the host on stage also finally said, “Okay, since no one else has raised their bids, then I announce that this Ripe Fruit Brooch, at the price of twenty million dollars, has been won by this Mr. Lai!!!”
The crowd in the room applauded with a burst of excitement.
At this moment, Zhang Zhilong, however, directly got up and sneered.
“Don’t rush to applaud first, I think it’s better to let him pay for it first, lest some people sell their names to make a swollen face and cause things to go out of auction, that won’t look good.”
Once Zhang Zhilong said this, the crowd also quieted down, and all of them also felt that it was not without such a possibility, after all, twenty million dollars for a brooch, which was beyond everyone’s perception.
“Then, what do you think, Mr. Lai?” The hostess looked at Li Nan.
The corners of Li Nan’s mouth however revealed a smile, “Of course it’s no problem.”
Saying that, Li Nan directly took out his bank card.
Zhang Zhilong only felt that the other party was playing a trick, and was all ready to see the other party’s joke.
However, a few moments later, after the payment voucher for the 20 million dollars was punched out from the POS machine, the sneer on Zhang Zhilong’s face gradually turned into dismay.
“How is it possible! This guy, he really has 20 million! Twenty million dollars for a broken brooch? Is this guy crazy?!”
