Chapter 404: Chapter 400: Tricking You Without Discussion (Four Updates for Monthly Tickets)

Ye Chen looked at Luo Guofu and said indifferently, ”What’s up? Something wrong?”

Luo Guofu replied coldly, ”Young man, don’t be too arrogant and leave some room to maneuver.”

Ye Chen chuckled lightly, ”Sorry, I’m just that arrogant. What are you gonna do about it?”

Luo Guofu: ”...”

Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Luo Guofu’s expression instantly turned even darker.

After a short break, the auction continued.

The entire auction had now sold eighteen items, all bought by Ye Chen.

During the intermission, Ye Chen settled all the bills for the items he purchased in the first half.

Ye Chen’s lavish spending once again left everyone in awe.

Li Rongrong came back on stage and announced, ”This auction is for a Late Qing Dynasty porcelain piece, valued at one million.”

Ye Chen immediately bid one and a half million.

The thing that frustrated Ye Chen was that now any item he bid on, almost no one else was raising the price.

The main reason was that everyone was wary of Ye Chen’s identity.

If they bid on what Ye Chen wanted, wouldn’t they be opposing Ye Chen?

What if Ye Chen turned out to be a wealthy heir with immense connections? Then they’d have offended Ye Chen.

So, although many people wanted to bid, they refrained because of their caution towards Ye Chen’s identity.

This made Ye Chen somewhat frustrated.

Why are you all being so humble? You should be raising the bids.

Only when others drive up the prices can he make more money.

At this moment, Luo Guofu raised his paddle, ”Two million.”

Hearing someone bid, instead of being frustrated, Ye Chen was very pleased.

He even found Luo Guofu much more agreeable to look at suddenly.

Hearing Luo Guofu’s bid, many people’s expressions turned interesting.

Clearly, this time Luo Guofu wanted to regain the face he had just lost.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, ”Two and a half million.”

The crowd collectively gasped.

Ye Chen remained as bold and straightforward as before.

Luo Guofu snorted and bid again, ”Three million.”

Like everyone else, he thought Ye Chen intended to sweep the board.

But he intended not to let Ye Chen have his way.

His thought was simple: if I drive up the price, even if you want to buy it, I will make you pay more.

Ye Chen smiled lightly, ”Five million.”

Luo Guofu snorted, ”Ten million.”

There was an uproar at the scene.

This price exceeded expectations by too much.

”Twenty million.” Ye Chen still didn’t flinch.

Luo Guofu sneered, realizing this guy really wanted to clear out the auction.

”Since you want to clear the place, I’ll make you pay a price.”

Luo Guofu’s gaze turned cold, ”One hundred million.”

Then he gave Ye Chen a provoking glance.

At this moment, the hall fell into dead silence.

Damn, looks like Old Luo is really going head-to-head with this young guy.

Many people thought Ye Chen was aiming to clear the auction.

So even if Luo Guofu bid one hundred million, they believed Ye Chen would still bid more.

”That guy won’t bid two hundred million, will he?”

”Given this young man’s personality, it’s very possible.”

”Old Luo is so bad, he’s just trying to trap this young man.”

However, to everyone’s surprise, this time Ye Chen remained silent.

Luo Guofu had already planned that if Ye Chen continued to raise the bid, he would just abandon it.

This way, Ye Chen would end up with the blame.

However, at this moment, Ye Chen calmly sat in his seat, arms crossed, looking as if he was watching a show.

Damn, could this kid actually not bid?

At this moment, Luo Guofu panicked.

The value of this porcelain was around two million; spending one hundred million on it was just foolish.

”Mr. Luo has bid one hundred million, any other bids?”

Li Rongrong’s gaze fell on Ye Chen.

However, Ye Chen still looked as if he was just watching the show.

Li Rongrong couldn’t help but be speechless.

Is Ye Chen really that cunning?

At this point, Luo Guofu’s expression couldn’t be worse.

Li Rongrong called out cheerfully, ”One hundred million, once.”

”One hundred million, twice.”

”One hundred million, three times.”

”Congratulations to Mr. Luo for acquiring the Late Qing Dynasty porcelain.”

But Luo Guofu couldn’t feel happy at all; he was even full of frustration.

This was a massive loss.

Ye Chen could have profited tens of millions.

But for Ye Chen, money was just a number; what he wanted to see was Luo Guofu’s dumbfounded and frustrated look.

Luo Guofu finally realized, he had been played by Ye Chen.

”Kid, you tricked me!” This time, Luo Guofu finally exploded in anger, not caring about his status.

Seeing Luo Guofu’s exasperated look, everyone watching found it amusing.

This drama clearly showed Luo Guofu trying to trap Ye Chen, only to be ensnared himself.

Weren’t you showing off?

This show-off was big enough.

Spent a hundred million on something worth two or three million.

However, Luo Guofu didn’t expect Ye Chen to be so slick that he didn’t fall for it and instead reversed the trap on him.

Did spending a hundred million make Luo Guofu feel pained? Of course, it did, especially since this time the loss was large.

The most important thing was face.

This event would surely spread in wealthy circles, and Luo Guofu would become a laughingstock.

An old fox played by a guy in his twenties.

Some even posted Luo Guofu’s embarrassed reaction on their social media.

How could Luo Guofu swallow this embarrassment?

Ye Chen, however, looked innocent, ”President Luo, I don’t get it. How did I trick you? You’re just more generous than me. I wouldn’t spend a billion on a porcelain, but you’re way more openhanded.”

Luo Guofu: ”You...”

”Oh, congratulations to President Luo for acquiring such an immensely valuable porcelain for a billion,” Ye Chen said with a cheerful smile.

Luo Guofu: ”...”

Seeing Luo Guofu’s face as if he swallowed something unpleasant, Ye Chen smirked inside.

You wanted to pull a fast one on me, play dirty.

Ye Chen could have made a big profit, but nobody would know about it if he spent that money.

If he got duped, he’d surely become a joke.

So Ye Chen would rather not make money than let Luo Guofu have the satisfaction.

Luo Guofu was furious, gritting his teeth, but there was nothing he could do to Ye Chen.

This time, he lost face completely, being played by a young man.

The more Luo Guofu thought about it, the less willing he felt, but a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Watching Luo Guofu smirk to himself, Ye Chen snorted coldly.

Looks like this old guy is up to no good again.

The auction continued.

Having just spent a billion, Luo Guofu might have been deeply injured, so he didn’t continue bidding.

The other items were mostly under ten million and didn’t have anything particularly eye-catching.

Midway, there was another calligraphy piece, valued at three million.

Luo Guofu raised his paddle again, and the piece was up to five million.

At this time, everyone looked at Ye Chen.

Surprisingly, this time Ye Chen didn’t compete with Luo Guofu.

Leave a way out for others; if he continued to compete with Luo Guofu, it would be seen as excessive.

The auction continued.

At this moment, another item was brought out.

This item was a Gucci piece of jewelry.

A crystal pendant from Gucci’s 70th-anniversary classic collection, with great commemorative value.

Seeing this jewelry, the eyes of many girls lit up.

Next to Luo Guofu, a young woman clung to Luo Guofu’s arm, ”Hubby, I want it.”
