186: Liu Shao has a way
Connecting it to Liu Yuanhua's strange behavior, Qin Yun immediately understood.
Liu Yuanhua was blindly confident and looked down on everyone else.
A total rookie!
This warehouse was Liu Yuanhua's true target.
The previous warehouse full of fakes was just a mistake Liu Yuanhua had made by a twist of fate.
Liu Yuanhua must have gotten some inside information from somewhere.
That was why he had lost his mind over Warehouse No. 25.
Throwing down a huge sum of money just to compete with him!
Qin Yun hadn't cared about Liu Yuanhua's threats to begin with.
Now that he had offended Liu Yuanhua to the point of no return,
he had even less reason to give up on this warehouse with the purple treasure light!
After the bidding for Warehouse No. 31 began, many people made tentative offers.
Because many people here were in the waste recycling business, they didn't know the value of these oil paintings.
However, some quick-witted individuals had already noticed Liu Yuanhua's abnormality.
They showed a very strong interest in this warehouse belonging to a painter.
Liu Yuanhua also realized his loss of composure.
He glanced at the people around him, called a subordinate over to whisper a few instructions, and then shook his head before sitting back down on his folding chair.
He looked as if he wasn't very interested in this warehouse anymore.
After realizing there were good things in this warehouse, Qin Yun saw through Liu Yuanhua's little tricks clearly.
This further confirmed his judgment.
Liu Yuanhua knew all along that there were good things inside.
But since he had set his sights on this warehouse, Liu Yuanhua's wish was destined to fall through.
After the auction started, the increments people added weren't very high.
It took more than a minute to reach thirteen thousand yuan.
While everyone was hesitating, Liu Yuanhua's lackey made a move.
"Twenty thousand."
As soon as the bid was out, everyone's eyes kept darting between the lackey and Liu Yuanhua.
They were guessing whether this was the lackey's own idea or if Liu Yuanhua had taken a liking to this warehouse.
"Twenty-three thousand," a middle-aged fat man raised his hand to increase the price.
"Fifty thousand!" Liu Yuanhua's lackey shouted coldly.
He gave the middle-aged fat man who just bid a warning look, full of deep meaning and threats.
That fat man shook his head with a face full of fear, indicating he was giving up on the bidding.
The lackey's face showed a smug smile, very satisfied that his threat had such an effect.
"Eighty thousand." An old man in his fifties suddenly joined the fray.
Liu Yuanhua's lackey was instantly annoyed.
He turned his head angrily and glared at the old man for a long time. "Opposing Young Master Liu, are you tired of living?"
"I'm warning you, Young Master Liu is in a bad mood right now. If anyone else makes him angry, don't blame us lackeys for being rude to you."
After scanning the surroundings and warning everyone, the lackey shouted in a voice filled with fury: "One hundred thousand!"
The old man was so scared he lowered his head, his legs trembling non-stop.
With the support of his friends nearby, he left the scene immediately.
Qin Yun watched the performance of this group of clowns. Seeing that no one on the field dared to bid against Liu Yuanhua anymore,
he knew it was time for him to make a move.
"One hundred and fifty thousand."
Qin Yun's voice was very calm, yet it caused an uproar at the scene!
No one expected this young man to make a move against Liu Yuanhua once again.
The previously majestic lackey, hearing that it was that young man coming out to disrupt things again,
panicked all of a sudden.
He could use Young Master Liu's prestige to scare off other competitors,
but this person even dared to contradict Young Master Liu to his face. How could he be afraid of a guy like him who was just borrowing someone else's authority?
He came to Liu Yuanhua's side with an apologetic face: "Young Master Liu, I failed in my duties. I ask for punishment!"
Liu Yuanhua's heart was already hanging by a thread.
He was afraid someone would relentlessly pursue this warehouse, especially that young man who had tricked him into paying a high price earlier.
What he feared most really did happen.
Seeing Qin Yun join the fray once again, Liu Yuanhua's anger reached its peak.
He stood up and slapped that lackey across the face!
"Useless trash, go call some men for me!"
After cursing, Liu Yuanhua walked in front of everyone and shouted loudly: "One hundred and eighty thousand!"
Seeing Young Master Liu's eyes filled with murderous intent, the Host's legs felt a bit weak.
He looked at Qin Yun with a pleading gaze, hoping this kid would be sensible and give up on this bid.
The warehouse with the purple treasure light was right before his eyes; how could Qin Yun possibly give up? "Two hundred thousand."
Liu Yuanhua had already developed murderous intent toward Qin Yun.
This person not giving him face like this was simply seeking death.
"Two hundred and forty thousand!"
He clenched his fists and then released them.
Liu Yuanhua laughed out of extreme anger and sat back down on the folding chair.
He put on an act as if he were going to fight Qin Yun to the death.
Qin Yun could figure out Liu Yuanhua's plan with his toes.
Wasn't he just trying to use his wealth and power to force him to back down?
In the field of Warehouse Auction, he had never been afraid of anyone.
Every time Liu Yuanhua coldly increased the price, Qin Yun would nonchalantly add a few tens of thousands of yuan.
When the price reached over two million, Liu Yuanhua was anxious and restless, his forehead covered in cold sweat.
He was starting to find this kind of bidding war with Qin Yun unbearable.
He still had over three million in cash on hand. Should he go all in?
Was this kid like last time, tricking him into paying a lot more money and then suddenly giving up?
While Liu Yuanhua was hesitating, a lackey walked up to his ear and whispered a few words.
Liu Yuanhua immediately made a decision.
A malicious glint flashed through his eyes.
He shook his head and gave up on the bidding.
In the end, Warehouse No. 31 was taken by Qin Yun for the price of 2.2 million.
The people around saw this and knew things were going to get ugly.
The next few Warehouse Auctions were very rushed.
They were all finished in less than ten minutes.
Whether they had won a warehouse or not, everyone stayed far away from Young Master Liu.
Even those who had won a warehouse didn't dare to pack up immediately.
They locked the doors with the locks they had brought, their curiosity getting the better of them.
They didn't leave but watched from the corner of the road.
The Host had long realized something was wrong and whispered a few words to a Staff Member.
He told him to quickly find the boss.
Otherwise, a big mess would break out here.
Qin Yun acted as if nothing was wrong.
He went directly to the first warehouse he had won to see what the situation was inside.
The rosewood office desks and chairs were all new.
They were only worth a few tens of thousands of yuan on the market; it was impossible for them to have a deep blue treasure light.
The boxes were full of office supplies and ornaments.
Julia discovered a landscape jadeite ornament wrapped tightly in newspaper.
"Qin, this thing looks good. Take a look at how much it's worth."
Julia looked excited as she brought the ornament to Qin Yun.
She was very interested in these shiny ornaments with Xia Country characteristics.
"It's a tri-color jadeite landscape. The base is glutinous ice, and some parts can reach ice-grade. The carving technique is quite delicate and vivid. The price is roughly between four hundred thousand and seven hundred thousand."
Qin Yun judged the value of the ornament with just a glance.
Jadeite is very popular among Xia Country people. As the production of raw jadeite stones from old mines decreases,
the jadeite in the market has a high premium. It's a typical case of 'one sale lasts three years.'
In the tourism market, jadeite with a cost price of only a few hundred can be sold for over ten thousand yuan.
So there are many price ranges.
Just as Qin Yun finished speaking, a cold voice came from outside.
"Well said. Thank you for finding such a suitable jadeite ornament for my office!"
Liu Yuanhua said coldly as he walked to the warehouse door, clapping his hands.
Qin Yun turned around and saw that Liu Yuanhua had brought a large group of people, blocking the warehouse entrance completely.
Behind him followed a group of thugs wearing camouflage uniforms.
Liu Yuanhua scanned the ornament in Julia's hand with an air of arrogance.
The thugs had faces full of anger, staring at the two with unfriendly eyes.
Qin Yun smiled nonchalantly.
He walked directly toward them.
"That's it? Do you really think you can keep me here with just these people!"
