C550 Opposition and Farce
Seeing the reaction of the collection, Zhou Yi suppressed his excitement. When someone shouted out "Two hundred thousand", he also called out a price.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand!"
This price was close to the bottom line in everyone's hearts. Seeing that Zhou Yi was one of their own people, the rich Chinese merchants did not say anything, and those foreign consortiums wanted to raise the price again. They were also worried that Zhou Yi would cheat them.
"Alright, this gentleman bids two hundred and fifty thousand. Is there any higher bid?"
The auctioneer tried his best to agitate the mood.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, once!"
"Two hundred and fifty thousand, twice!"
"Two …"
"Ah, this gentleman from number 40 bids three hundred thousand! Congratulations, sir! "
Zhou Yi didn't expect someone to make a bid at this time. He frowned slightly and looked down at the bidders.
At this moment, the person who bid also looked in their direction, his eyes filled with pride and provocation.
It was a Caucasian man with curly flaxen hair. His face was pale and his mind was a little sluggish. He looked like he had been drained of energy by the alcohol and sex for a long time.
He looked a little drunk, as if he had drunk quite a lot of wine.
"This guy …" Zhou Yi instantly saw something different from his eyes.
This fellow was doing it on purpose!
"Five hundred thousand." Zhou Yi raised the price coldly.
The next moment, that person immediately raised the price.
"Six hundred thousand!"
"One million." Zhou Yi instantly raised the price by a huge amount.
"One million one hundred thousand!" The man was in hot pursuit.
The auction house was once again in an uproar. They did not expect to see another item that was far more expensive than they had expected. This made everyone feel that this trip was worth it.
Of course, everyone could tell that these two people clearly had a personal grudge and were not fighting over any of the items.
"Two million."
"Two million one hundred thousand!"
That person acted like he intentionally disgusted Zhou Yi. No matter how much he bid, it would be 100,000 more than him.
"Oh my god, this gentleman is, Mr. Morris!" Someone recognized the identity of the bidder and exclaimed.
"What, Mr. Morris?" Are you for real? "
Zhou Yi was slightly stunned when he heard the name Morris. He remembered who this person was.
Bailey Morris, Edward Morris's nephew, is one of Morris's only two blood relatives, the other is Morris's nephew. Although the two of them were not directly related to each other, but according to the law, when Morris died, the two of them would become his inheritors.
And now, looking at the hatred in the man's eyes, he obviously knew who he was.
"So that's how it is. I saw that my uncle didn't die that easily, and he also invested a large amount of assets into the Heavenly Awakening. He thought that I might not be able to inherit that much assets, so he bore a grudge against me?"
Zhou Yi sneered in his heart and instantly guessed the ins and outs of the matter.
"Five million!" He yelled out an astonishing price, and at the same time looked at Bailey Morris with an expression of extreme provocation.
When Bailey Morris heard the price of five million, he also hesitated for a moment, but then he saw the provocative look from Zhou Yi.
This fellow was mocking him!
In an instant, the rage within his body seemed to have been ignited.
He seemed to have abandoned all other thoughts. There was only one thought on his mind, and that was to give this kid who came out of nowhere and stole his wealth!
"Five million one hundred thousand!" Bailey Morris shouted out the number while looking at Zhou Yi complacently.
The look in his eyes seemed to say, "How about it, raise the price again!"
Zhou Yi nearly laughed out loud when he saw Ye Zichen's childish look. He raised the bid again leisurely: "10 million!"
When this price was announced, the entire audience went into an uproar.
No one could have imagined that what was once the most inconspicuous item in the entire auction hall would now cost a higher price than the rest of the collections.
Ten million gold coins was very rare in this scale of auctions.
The surrounding people looked at the two of them with incomparable reverence. At the same time, they looked at Morris with great anticipation to see if he would dare to raise the price again.
Especially Dong Zhishang, he initially thought Zhou Yi was an ignorant fuerdai who came out with his father's money to pretend to be rich, but after seeing this, he already started to feel that this outrageously young man was not simple.
Facing this price, Morris's heart shrank back again. After all, he was only rich after inheriting Old Morris's property, but he wasn't particularly rich right now, and 10 million was already a huge amount of money for him.
However, when he saw Zhou Yi's condescending gaze, his heart was once again flooded with anger.
"Ten million and a hundred thousand!" Morris shouted viciously. After shouting that, he felt like he used all of his strength.
However, the next moment, the number that Zhou Yi shouted seemed to send him into an icehouse.
"50 million." Zhou Yi's voice was ice-cold, as if he didn't care at all as he spat out a number that caused everyone to be stupefied.
"No!" Morris collapsed. He suddenly jumped up from his seat and shouted crazily at Zhou Yi.
"You damned liar! Thief! Bandits! That's my money! That's all my money! You are not qualified to be so extravagant! "
In his opinion, how could Zhou Yi, an arrogant kid who came out of nowhere, possibly take out 50 million? This money was definitely his uncle's, Morris's, money, right?
This bastard was actually going against him with his money!
Morris almost lost his mind.
"I will kill you! You despicable scoundrel! " Morris shouted and slammed his phone down at Zhou Yi, but before he could get close to Zhou Yi, the phone jerked in the air and smashed into the head of another rich businessman who was watching.
"Ouch!" The force was not little, the phone parts flew all over the place, and the rich businessman fell down clutching his head.
"Security!" "Security!"
"Someone come quickly!" This guy is crazy! "
"Wait!" Don't squeeze! Help! "
Due to Morris's cellphone, the entire venue was in chaos as all kinds of shouts could be heard.0
Morris was like a madman. He pushed away the people beside him and wanted to jump over to beat Zhou Yi up. However, he couldn't get through the layers of barriers and ended up fighting with the people around him because he angered them.
When the auctioneer on the stage saw this scene, he panicked a little and hurriedly called for security.
Very quickly, the security guards entered the auction hall and forcefully pulled everyone away. Because these were all rich people, they were all either rich or noble. The security guards didn't dare to be too rude, and it took a while before they managed to suppress everyone and let the venue quiet down.
They weren't so polite to Morris, who caused the whole venue to become chaotic. The two hulks escorted him away.
Throughout the whole process, Zhou Yi sat motionlessly in his seat, watching the whole venue with great interest. Chaos, as if enjoying a farce …
