Chapter 267: Named Dragon's Teeth
crossed everyone's faces."Folks, you all think this is just a wooden stake, right The stuff we put out in our store is never that simple."The auctioneer said, "This item was found in an ancient tomb....Although this ancient sword excited Ye Bufan to the point of jumping up and down, the others did not react in the same way, even appearing very indifferent.
For an ancient sword, its history is the most important factor. The value of the Goujian Sword of King Yue doesn't come from how sharp it is, but because it belonged to King Yue.
But this ancient sword before us, even with the appraisal skills of the world's foremost expert, could not determine its age or origin. This kind of thing wouldn't be very valuable to collect.
How do you show off an ancient sword that doesn't even have a dating
This is just like a piece of clothing. No matter how exquisite the workmanship and materials are, without its own brand, it will never be considered high-class.
Moreover, the sword's appearance is very ordinary and there's nothing appealing about it.
So after the auction began, only two people bid.
"250,000!"
"300,000!"
As the bidding ended, with no one else willing to raise the price, the auctioneer raised his hammer, ready to bring down the gavel. At that moment, Ye Bufan raised his bid card, "One million!"
"Damn it, here he comes again. Is he addicted to this"
"Do you really think Master Tian is a fool He's already been tricked twice, how could he be fooled again"
In the eyes of everyone, Ye Bufan didn't really want to buy this sword. He wanted to continue provoking Tian Sheng. The first time all eyes in the field fell on the eldest son of the Tian family.
Now he was a little embarrassed, but he continued to bid. It was obvious that the kid was playing with him.
But if I pretended not to see him, it would be like being intimidated by this poor kid. How could I possibly keep up appearances in the social circle after that
Just as he was caught between two difficult options, a bodyguard whispered a few words in his ear.
Tian Sheng immediately became excited and raised his placard, shouting: "I bid 2 million!"
"Four million!"
Ye Bufan didn't hesitate, no matter the price, he had to get this sword today.
"10 million!"
"16 million!"
The price climbed steadily, soon reaching 16 million. To onlookers, the plot was exactly the same as the previous two times, even down to the identical bid amounts from both parties.
Just then, Tian Sheng let out a sly grin: "You little punk trying to trick me again I'm not falling for it this time. 16 million, take your scrap metal and get lost."
The bodyguard just told him this, according to the bodyguard, Ye Bufan could actually trick him, and he could also trick Ye Bufan back.
At least in the eyes of others, this ancient sword is also not worth 16 million.
"This..." Ye Bufan put on a disappointed expression, "Young Master Tian, shouldn't you be calling 32 million"
Tian Sheng said: "Stop calling, since you like it, I'll just give it to you."
He looked pleased with himself, having managed to salvage some of his lost face after the earlier embarrassment.
"16 million once, 16 million twice, sold! This ancient sword belongs to Mr. Ye."
Zhao Liya, seeing no one continued to bid, asked three times before knocking down the hammer.
She was also very happy at this moment. She had already earned so much money just after the game started, it seemed that her commission today was unavoidable.
But Ye Bufan was the happiest of all. When the hammer fell, his heart finally settled.
Soon, a waiter arrived and placed the ancient sword before him. He swiped his card to pay and then took the sword into his hands.
At this moment, he could no longer suppress the joy in his heart and burst into laughter.
Everyone was stunned. Could it be that this young man had been driven crazy by Young Master Tian He spent 16 million yuan, how could he still be so happy
He Shuangshuang asked in surprise, "Xiaofan, are you alright"
Ye Bufan smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, I'm fine."
He held the sword in his hand, reluctant to let go. This auction wasn't a waste of time after all; he had finally found something good.
Tian Sheng kept staring at Ye Bufan. He originally wanted to wait and see the kid regret it, beating his chest and stomping his feet, but he didn't expect the other party to be so happy. This made him feel very unwilling.
"Kid, don't act like you're so happy. What's there to be happy about buying this scrap metal for 16 million"
Ye Bufan twirled the ancient sword in his hand and said, "Scrap metal, you don't understand! This is priceless!"
"This is worthless trash! Even the auctioneer at the mall couldn't figure it out, the starting price was only 200,000! How could this possibly be a treasure Only someone like you, who has never seen the world and is poor, would spend 16 million on something like this."
"Am I not worldly enough Then let me broaden my horizons today."
Ye Bufan said, raising the ancient sword and pressing lightly on the hilt. With a click, the rusty exterior of the sword popped off with a snap, revealing an ancient-looking short dagger underneath.
This dagger is about 40 centimeters long, with a 10-centimeter handle and a 30-centimeter blade. It has a golden scabbard, and the ancient hilt is engraved with two Chinese characters—Longya.
Everyone around was shocked, this was the true face of Dragon Fang, the outside was just a disguise for protection.
Especially Fei Tong and Zhao Liya, they were very clear about the abilities of the world's market appraisers. Even the appraisers hadn't found that this knife was hiding a universe inside, how did the young man in front of them see through it
Tian Sheng first hesitated, then said again: "Even if there's still a dagger inside, so what What kind of knife could be worth 16 million In the end, you're paying the big bucks this time."
Ye Bufan lovingly twirled the Dragon's Fang in his hand, then let out a cold smile and drew the sword from its sheath with a whoosh.
In that instant, a chill flashed across the sky, and the air around seemed to drop several degrees in an instant. The biting blade aura stimulated the nerves of everyone present.
Some timid people are even shaking with fear, the murderous aura on this blade is simply too strong!
Right now, everyone is thinking the same thing: that's a treasure sword! It's definitely a treasure sword!
Fei Tong, who had been standing beside him all along, suddenly changed his expression, his eyes flashing with a fiery light. He strode over to Ye Bufan and said, "Mr. Ye, could you lend me this sword to have a look"
"Sure."
Ye Bufan sheathed his sword and then handed it to Fei Tong.
He wasn't worried at all that Feitong would embezzle his treasured sword. The marketplace belonged to the Dong family, and trustworthiness and adherence to rules had always been the hallmark of the marketplace.
As the head of the household, Fei Tong would absolutely not ruin his reputation. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Dong family's wrath.
Besides, he also had absolute confidence. Even if Fei Tong wanted to embezzle the treasure sword, he didn't have the ability. Even a yellow-rank warrior wouldn't be his opponent if they wielded the Dragon's Fang.
At this moment, Fei Tong's eyes were filled with excitement. Looking at the dagger in his hand, he murmured, "What a fine blade! Absolutely a magnificent blade! In my entire life, I, Fei, have never seen such a good knife."
"Truly worthy of the name Dragon Fang, it possesses an indomitable and invincible aura."
The dragon's tooth is undoubtedly the most powerful part of a dragon's body, and this sword being named after a dragon's tooth shows just how sharp it is.
After much consideration, Fei Tong finally reluctantly returned the Dragon's Tooth to Ye Bufan.
Then he said, "Mr. Ye, I would personally like to invest 100 million yuan to buy this sword. Could you please be generous enough to sell it to me"
His words caused a stir throughout the audience!
Just bought it for 16 million, and in the blink of an eye, it has more than tripled in value. One hundred million yuan is definitely not a small sum of money! Many people can't earn that much in their entire lives!was the normal selling price.If you go the auction route, there's generally a 50% to 100% markup, but selling for two hundred million is already pretty close.Unless there are special circumstances, it...
