Chapter 328

"60 yuan!"

"70 yuan!"

"80 yuan!"

The price increased steadily, and soon approached the original price of 100 yuan.

Although the auctioneer has emphasized that the material of the small box is unknown, its appearance is very pleasing and its workmanship is exquisite. Many believers in the front row are rich people, and they still have an appreciation for artworks.

However, the starting price of this thing is relatively low, and everyone subconsciously thinks that it is made of artificial jade or artificial jadeite, the material is not good, and the price is low.

When the price increased to 80 yuan, Li Du, who had been looking at his phone, raised his hand and said, "One hundred yuan!"

Sophie looked at him in surprise, and said with a smile, "You don't have to make an offer, don't care what Malathai said, he's just that naive."

Marathai is also making an offer, of course, he is making an offer for Sophie's sake.

Therefore, when Li Du quoted a price of 100 yuan, he immediately followed up: "110 yuan."

Li Du said: "200 yuan!"

He immediately won applause for such a large bid, but the other bidders withdrew from the auction, obviously they thought it was not worth buying a second-hand jewelry box for two hundred yuan.

Maratha didn't back down, he shouted, "250 yuan."

Li Du said: "300 yuan."

Sophie quickly gave him a hand, and said in a low voice, "The new one is only 100 yuan. Why do you spend so much money? Li, don't get angry with Ma Latai, it will make you look naive."

Li Du patted her hand and said, "I know what to do, I will play a trick for you later."

The intimate behavior of the two made Ma Latai furious, and he shouted: "400 yuan."

Li Du raised his hand and said, "500 yuan."

When they bid in this way, it was not applause, but laughter, but good-hearted laughter, because everyone regarded this bidding as a competition between two young people to show favor to Sophie.

Mrs. Martin also persuaded Li Du: "It's alright, son, the price is high enough. Sophie's small jewelry box has become the star of today."

The laughter hindered Marathai's momentum. He thought that his offer would win applause. After all, this was his home field, but he didn't expect it to be all laughter.

This made him feel very humiliated and hurt his tough guy dignity.

So, he made the last struggle and said, "600 yuan."

Li Du saw his plan. These days, he dealt with auctions every day, and he fought against cunning treasure pickers. His daily job was to analyze the psychological changes of his opponents.

Therefore, after noticing that Marathai had offered the reserve price, he said slowly, "610 yuan."

Maratai snorted coldly, the laughter around him continued, he stopped quoting, sat on his seat sullenly and got angry.

The auctioneer waved his finger at him and said: "610 yuan for the first time, 610 yuan for the second time, if no one raises the price, then I will call out: 610 yuan for the third time! This precious lot belongs to you, Mr. Li !"

Li Du stood up and bowed. Along with the applause, there was still laughter.

After bowing, he didn't sit down, but walked directly to the stage.

Seeing that the believers were surprised, the volunteer responsible for organizing the event hurried up and said, "Sir, after the auction is over, the auction items will be delivered uniformly. You don't need to leave now."

Marathai found Li Du's attack point again, and said with a smile, "Ha, you're still a treasure picker, you don't even understand this kind of rules? Have you never participated in a formal auction? It's so funny."

The laughter grew louder, and it was more than good intentions, and the other believers obviously thought so too.

Sophie reached out to hold him, and said in a low voice, "Li, now is not the time to pay."

Li Du held her bright wrist with his backhand, turned back and smiled and said, "Remember what I said just now? I'll do a trick for you. Now, come on stage with me to see."

Looking back, he whispered a few words to the volunteer. The volunteer showed a surprised expression and obediently got out of the way.

Li Du dragged Sophie up to the auction stage. The female doctor's face turned pink, and she staggered as she walked. For a moment, her eyes were blank and her mind was foggy. Simply put, she was stunned.

This is where? It was a church, and in her mind a man and a woman walked up the pulpit hand in hand, something that only happens between would-be couples at marriage.

Now, she was pulled up by a man. Sitting below the stage were parents and church members. No matter how you looked at it, she seemed to be getting married.

Someone also noticed this, and said with a smile, "Young man, are you going to propose to Sophie here?"

"This is not a good place. It is suitable for marriage, but not for proposal."

"Sophie, you can't promise him, this kid is messing around."

The female doctor will be very dazed, her face will be pink with shame, her mind will not turn, how can she hear what everyone is saying?

Li Du heard it, he didn't pay attention to these words, he stood up and said to Lewis: "Man, I will host the auction, and I will add fire to this auction."

The auctioneer smiled and said, "Come here, please, don't play around."

Li Du nodded to him, took the jewelry box from the tray, coughed and stood still facing the crowd.

The believers, like Sophie, were confused about what he was doing, and looked at him stupidly together.

Li Du said: "Everyone, this lipstick box was photographed by me, and I sent it to the auction table again, and handed it over to the person who really belongs to it."

"You want to return it to Sophie? It's a bit of an overkill, isn't it?"

"It's not romantic at all, man, it's not a good thing to do."

"Go on, you're embarrassing Sophie."

Maratha shouted: "You are a clown now, and you made a clown with Sophie, what a disgrace!"

Li Du smiled and said, "Everyone misunderstood me. I took a picture of this jewelry box, but I didn't do it openly, because everyone didn't know the true identity of the box."

"The auctioneer said before that the material of the box is unknown. Here I promise everyone that it is made of emerald stone. The small stones distributed on it are also real sapphires, turquoises and rubies!"

Hearing what he said, the noisy church suddenly became much quieter. Not many people spoke, and they all looked at him in shock.

Li Du continued to smile: "The reason for the above design is to restore the image of jadeite in our oriental mythology."

"In our oriental mythology, Emerald is a bird that lives in the south. Its fur is very colorful, usually in three colors: red, blue and green."

"Generally speaking, the male of this bird is red, called 'Fei', and the female is green, called 'Cui'. The eggs born are blue, and it is a very spiritual bird."

"There was a famous poet in our Tang Dynasty named Chen Zi'ang. In order to describe this precious spiritual bird, he wrote a poem about it..."

At the end of the introduction, he switched to Mandarin and read rhythmically: "The emerald nest in the South China Sea, the male and female bead forest. The beautiful light jewelry, the luxuriant and rotten brocade cens!"

As the sound of his poetry reciting sounded, the applause also sounded, the louder the sound of reciting the poem, the louder the applause, like thunder!
