"Your belief in Buddhism has nothing to do with me. I don't believe in Buddhism. I just want to bid for this thing and sell it at a high price!"

"That's right. Who cares whether you believe in Buddhism or not? We come here to buy antiques to make money."

"You are being ridiculous. People have their own beliefs, so we should respect them. How about this, sister, since you bid higher than me, it proves that your beliefs are purer, so I will give the item to you."

"Hahaha, you think my sister is a fool, don't you? If she offers too high, do you need to give in?"

The lady in the front row obviously has no experience in attending auctions. She is the first one to jump out and will definitely be attacked by everyone.

In just one minute, she was already blushing from being laughed at.

Unfortunately, there were too many people crowding around to squeeze her, so she had no way to quickly lock onto her target and didn't know who to attack.

This further exacerbated her redness.

In comparison, the old man next door to Zhang Yang was much more low-key. He kept holding up a sign, looking quiet and obscure, as if he was just at work.

At an auction, there are definitely signs, but everyone likes to shout them out loud because it feels better that way.

The old man holding the sign seemed a little different in Zhang Yang's eyes.

Zhang Yang and Li Zi had no interest in this kind of skull-like thing. It would be scary for young people to buy this kind of thing.

The two of them were sitting leisurely in their seats, and when they saw the old man next to them holding up a sign, I would venture to say that it was almost like watching a monkey show.

After a while, Uncle Guang lifted it more than ten times by himself.

The price of this vestment was also raised to over 200,000.

At this price, most people began to hesitate, and many people looked at Master Li on the stage, hoping that he could give some appraisal opinions.

What if the robes were worn by Emperor Qianlong?
Although the chance is very small, as long as it is from the Qianlong period, you can use this name to fool people after buying it.

"I really don't understand this stuff." Master Li wiped the sweat from his forehead somewhat embarrassedly. He had used up all his life's knowledge but still couldn't figure out what it was.

"I can only tell you that this thing is indeed made of bones, but it's hard to say whether it's the same kind of bones."

"It should be before the late Qing Dynasty. The degree of calcification of the bones can barely confirm this, but not much."

“I suggest everyone invest rationally.”

Rational? Zhang Yang laughed in his heart. Looking at the people bidding on the spot, is there any rational one?

They are all as psychotic as Venerable Mila.

Zhang Yang was waiting to watch the show when the old man next to him suddenly reached out and touched him.

Turning around, the old man looked embarrassed and said:
"Young man, would you mind lending me some money? I came to England in a hurry and didn't prepare so much money, but this vestment is very important to me."

"Can you lend me some money now? If I take a picture of the things, I will contact my family immediately and transfer the money to you using a domestic bank card. Is that okay with you?"

"Sure, how much do you want to borrow?"

Zhang Yang exchanged some foreign currency before coming here, not much, just a few hundred thousand Euros. The old man is in a hurry to use it now, so it wouldn't be a problem to borrow some to help with the cash flow.

But what he didn't expect was that the old man asked for 500,000 euros.

Zhang Yang didn't have the money, but Li Zi did. However, Zhang Yang didn't want to borrow it.

The price of this item on the market is only over 600,000, which is only 70,000 euros. This uncle is not borrowing money. He has no money at all and wants to use Zhang Yang's money to bid.

It was a bit suspicious. "How about it? Young man, lend it to me. As long as I take a picture of it, I will definitely return it to you. If I don't take a picture, I can return it to you on the spot."

"Then you don't need to borrow money." Li Zi leaned over and asked, "Why don't you just bid directly?"

"You don't have to pay if you haven't taken the photo yet. After you take the photo, you can ask your family to transfer the money when you pay, right?"

"Yeah, I think so too." Zhang Yang nodded. He was almost confused by the pitiful look of this old man. This small auction would not verify the capital on site.

"That's not true. All the money in my house is in RMB. I haven't exchanged it into foreign currency, so the auction house won't accept it!"

"Oh, I see. You are here to exchange currency for free." Li Zi immediately analyzed the real reason behind it, and then waved her hand: "No, old man, you can have fun by yourself. Our money is useful!"

Although Zhang Yang didn't understand why Li Zi refused so quickly, he didn't refute it outside.

Seeing there was no room for maneuver, the old man turned around angrily and went to borrow money from a man in a suit next to him.

It can be seen that he really wants this thing.

"Why did you refuse so decisively?" Zhang Yang asked in a low voice in Li Zi's ear.

"I think there's something wrong with this old man." Li Zi whispered in his ear, "He might be a stooge who's specifically responsible for raising the price."

"A shill who raises the price? Then he can just raise the price, no need to borrow money, right?" Zhang Yang expressed his incomprehension.

"You don't understand. I know this well. My father made his fortune by helping people raise prices. This is called being prepared."

“Don’t be fooled by the fact that some people are bidding very aggressively now, but once the price reaches a critical point, they will calm down instantly. After all, the price you bid out will eventually be paid, and the amount of money in your wallet is fixed.”

"Then if the person acting as an agent sees that they are hesitating, why don't they just stop raising the price?" Zhang Yang said without hesitation.

"It used to be like this, but later on, the buyers got smarter and deliberately dragged their feet, making those unskilled agents think that the other party had reached the critical point."

"As a result, what was originally a calculation between the seller and the buyer turned into a high-end psychological game."

"But for the shills, the game is too difficult, so they came up with a new way, a way that they can't lose money no matter what."

"That is to pick a lucky person on the spot, preferably one who looks rich and kind-hearted, and borrow money from him for the auction."

"If the price goes wrong, the agent will use the borrowed money to buy the item first. When the creditor comes to him for money, he will directly use the item he bought at the auction to pay the creditor..."

"Oh my god, so disgusting?" Zhang Yang turned his head and looked at the old man who was still looking for the man in the suit to borrow money, and a chill rose in his heart.

"Just wait and see, there might be something interesting to watch later."

Zhang Yang wasn't sure whether the man in the suit had agreed to lend him the money, but judging by his state, it looked like he had succeeded.

The old man who was suspected to be a babysitter was very dedicated. As soon as he saw that the place was getting a little quiet, he immediately stood up and raised the price.

As a result, Li Zi's bad words really came true and this old man messed up.

Finally, he successfully bought the vestment for 230 million RMB.

This time, there was even more enthusiastic applause, but Zhang Yang did not see a trace of happiness on the old man's face.

Not even a tiny bit.

The bidding was so exciting just now, but now it is so calm as if nothing happened. Who would believe that there is no story behind this? (End of this chapter)
