C1111 Sky-high Starstone
Zhang Xiaofann could see the emotion in the man's eyes of the Elder Qiao. After calling out the price of one million gold, everyone looked at Zhang Xiaofann with curiosity.
Why Zhang Xiaofann would use one million to buy a pair of Buddha statues. Although Dai Qiwen said that on stage, they did not know where the Buddha statues actually came from.
One must know that it was the late stage of the Qin Dynasty when Tang Xuanzang was learning the sutras. At that time, Buddhism was not prevalent in China.
Whether or not that item was placed by the later generations, it was not certain. After spending so much money to bid for it, he was truly a fool.
Zhang Xiaofann had his own thoughts and other people's guesses, but he still took the Buddha statue back.
One could build a temple on the mountain and have the priests of Shinzo come to pay their respects and increase the flow of guests in their village.
Raising the villagers' income by a million to buy a Buddha statue that would benefit in the long run was simply worth it.
Elder Qiao's gaze turned to Zhang Xiaofann and he was also shocked. He couldn't understand why Zhang Xiaofann didn't conduct an archaeological study and wanted to bid a high price for the Buddha statue.
"Brother Zhang, it can't be that you're doing this because of me, right?"
Zhang Xiaofann laughed as he shook his head, turning his gaze to the front. Just this one action caused Dai Qiwen to have a whole new level of respect for Zhang Xiaofann.
To do things that normal people did not do, to walk a path that normal people did not walk, these kinds of people were the truly capable people, Zhang Xiaofann was just like this, this was the thought in his heart.
"Mister, are you sure you want to bid 1 million for this pair of Buddha statues? One must know that the minimum bidding price for this pair of Buddha statues is three hundred thousand. "
"The other bidders obviously aren't interested in these Buddha statues. You can take back four hundred thousand, or three hundred and fifty thousand."
At this time, Zhang Xiaofann began to advertise their Shangshui Village.
"I always believed in the saying that money is worth it. Buddhism has flourished in China for many years, and we have a lot of believers."
"This Buddha statue is from the Qin Wang tomb. It doesn't matter if it's from another dynasty or not, it's still a gimmick to promote Buddha statues."
"When the time comes, I will build a temple in our Ganzhou Province."
"If the believers were to pay a visit, they would be able to bring our village to travel. It's just a mere one million yuan, and it's worth it."
Hearing that, everyone looked at him with contempt, thinking that Zhang Xiaofann relied on his faith to earn money, it was truly despicable.
Dai Qiwen was actually praising her. She agreed with Zhang Xiaofann's idea too much.
"One million going once, one million going twice, one million going thrice, one million going thrice, one million going thrice, after the Mr Zhang auction is done, please go to our backstage and complete the transaction. We will now begin the third auction item …"
Zhang Xiaofann nodded his head, he had no interest in the third auction item of auction, so he closed his eyes and recuperated.
After about an hour of this time, the critical period of the auction had finally arrived. Dai Qiwen took out the sky-high price Stellar Stone.
Many bidders stood up. Amongst those people, Zhang Xiaofann felt waves of different energy, it was obvious that there were a lot of cultivators mixed in, all determined to get the Stellar Stone.
"So many cultivators have their eyes on that Stellar Stone, could it be that that Stellar Stone is really something special?"
Zhang Xiaofann asked himself, he also wanted to bid for the Stellar Stone, but since he only had 200 million Chinese dollars, he had no way of obtaining it, so he held the attitude of watching from the sidelines.
The man from Elder Qiao said to Zhang Xiaofann: "Mr Zhang, are you in financial trouble? If you need help, I'm willing to lend you my ten billion."
Hearing this, Zhang Xiaofann had already confirmed the other identity of the male from the Elder Qiao, which was the patriarch of the Eight Superfamilies.
This way, he wouldn't dare to use Mr. Elder Qiao's money and it wouldn't be good for him to pay back the favor he owed Eight Superfamilies.
"Elder Qiao is wrong, although I want that rock, I do not necessarily want it. Furthermore, with so many people eyeing that rock, I do not believe that I have won the bid for the stone, and that other people would not cause me any trouble. As such, I might as well let nature take its course, so that I would not take innocent treasures."
The Elder Qiao man nodded his head, deeply impressed by Zhang Xiaofann's calmness, and felt that he was the type of person who would do great things.
As a businessman, this was what she wanted.
"Priceless Stellar Stone, starting bid, 800 million. Each increment must not be less than 100 million."
After Dai Qi Wen shouted out such a price, many people gasped in surprise. This was only the starting price, yet it already reached 800 million, then the price would skyrocket to hundreds of millions.
"900 million."
"One billion."
"1.2 billion."
Even though this was the case, there were still quite a few people calling out prices. This shocked most of the people to the point that they were shocked, thinking to themselves, "Damn it!"
There were quite a lot of rich people in this world. With such a high starting bid, it was about to double in minutes.
"Two billion."
At this moment, a green-clothed middle-aged man stood up and shouted out a bid of 2 billion. Everyone looked at the young man.
They were all very surprised, because none of them knew who he was.
"Who is that middle-aged man!?" Among all the rich people in our Xijing, there doesn't seem to be a single one like that? "
"I don't know, maybe he's a foreigner!"
"Impossible, the moment that person opened his mouth, he spoke very straight from the Xijing; it's definitely someone from the Xijing."
"Then I don't know."
Some people started to discuss in whispers, as they tried to guess the identity of the man, Third Master Xie's face revealed traces of viciousness.
"Third Master Xie, this is really not my fault. My total assets only amount to a few billion, even if I were to throw all my assets away, it wouldn't be enough to take down that person!" "So you can't blame me for this."
The Third Master Xie nodded.
"I know, that bastard is courting death. If you have money to buy treasures, you should have the qualifications to use them. After auction ends, let him spit them out."
The Third Master Xie had already planned to do some unwarranted business, and things would not end peacefully.
That middle-aged man didn't seem to care in the slightest when faced with the gazes of everyone. It was as if the others were nothing more than ants in his eyes.
"That young man made a bid of two billion, is there any more bids? If there is none, then the sky-high price of the Stellar Stone will belong to that person."
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaofann had the urge to mix up the water and ask the middle aged man to put some blood on the bottom line of the middle aged man.
"2.1 billion."
Zhang Xiaofann calling out a price at this time was obviously opposing the middle-aged man, and a black line appeared on the middle aged man's forehead.
In an attempt to see through Zhang Xiaofann, Zhang Xiaofann did not conceal his strength and let the middle-aged man see through him.
"Huang Jie is level six. I think you're courting death." The man whispered to Zhang Xiaofann, but Zhang Xiaofann laughed, wanting to anger the middle aged man.
"2.5 billion."
Zhang Xiaofann raised the price himself, causing the middle-aged man to clench his teeth in anger, as he hesitated on what he should do.
If he increased the bid by at least 3 billion, he would not have much money to bid on the Qin Wang's Armor.1
