"Fourteen thousand!" With regards to this jade belt buckle, he was not determined to win it, but he could not lose face in front of this shop assistant!

"Fifteen thousand!" Yang Bo smiled, he was not anxious nor slow, even if he had to buy it, he did not care, he would not be able to get it in the end!

"16,000!" Assistant Curator Qu became angry and looked towards Yang Bo's direction.

Luo Yaohua tugged at Yang Bo, "Just play with me, don't take it too seriously."

Yang Bo had dug a pit for the Assistant Curator Qu, so he naturally wasn't willing to let go so easily.

The Assistant Curator Qu started to hesitate, he heard the news of the deal, he went around and obtained an admission ticket, and because he did not have enough money, he even pulled Jia Huairen along, just in order to make a huge profit. Evidently, Yang Bo had blocked his path to riches, and he could not easily give up, or else Yang Bo would very likely take an inch!

"Twenty thousand!"

Yang Bo laughed, and did not speak anymore. This was merely a test.

When it came to raising prices, he used to be extremely happy, but now, he was somewhat impatient. For the sake of making a ruckus for tens of thousands of dollars, it would waste too much of his time, because right now, as long as he could help out, it would become money in his hands.

He had to collect the money and escape this place as soon as possible!

After Assistant Curator Qu took off the jade belt, he couldn't help but look towards Yang Bo's direction. His chin was slightly raised with a look of disdain.

Yang Bo chuckled, and did not say a word.

Luo Yaohua's acting skills were also outstanding, it was hard to tell when he was pretending to be a popinjay, especially during the auction when a beautiful red jade pendant was presented to him.

"My mother's 50th birthday is coming up in September. I've been wondering if I can buy a suitable pendant. This Red Jade Pendant is really pretty. I'll sell it for a thousand, for fifty-one thousand!"

As Yang Bo sat beside Luo Yaohua, he couldn't help but want to cheer for his shamelessness. This wasn't the first time he had heard of this reason, and all the other people present also had the corners of their mouths twitching, but thinking about this kind of occasion and this kind of underground transaction, no one dared to offend this ungrateful Young Noble!

No one offered a price, Luo Yaohua's shameless scheme had succeeded.

According to the market price, the Red Jade Pendant was at least a hundred thousand, but Mei Laosan did not seem to be dissatisfied, he had a smile on his face, as though because of Luo Yaohua's participation he had heaved a sigh of relief, as though if if Luo Yaohua were to participate, the auction would be safe.

In the following auctions, Yang Bo did not participate in it very much, but when Jia Huairen and Assistant Curator Qu participated, Yang Bo would always intervene, and every time he raised the price, he would raise the price of the items up by a little, making it possible for him to earn a lot, but he did not earn much, and the quality of the items was extremely well grasped, causing Jia Huairen and Assistant Curator Qu to clench their teeth in hatred.

From the start, everyone was spectating for fun, they had gradually figured out Yang Bo's intention, and while laughing inside, they were also secretly ridiculing Jia Qu and Xiao Budian for having eyes but not eyes, offending them, and now they were getting revenge!

Another mid-Qing Dynasty silver inlaid jade Eight Treasures Hornless Dragon Mark Liang teapot sent up, starting bid 70,000.

Jia Huairen was furious in his heart. He looked at Yang Bo somewhat provocatively and shouted out a price: "Ninety thousand!"

Yang Bo started laughing. His goal was just to obstruct the other party, but his final goal was not only this, so he did not take it to heart, and ignored the other party's provocation.

Jia Huairen stared at Yang Bo, and could not help but say: "Yang Bo, you are just an antique shop assistant, do you really think you can compete with me after picking up the loot twice? You are still far from it! "

Yang Bo shook his head, "Boss Jia, we are indeed far behind, it is just that you said the opposite!"

Jia Huairen scoffed, "You should ask everyone, who said the opposite!"

Mei Laosan immediately stopped him: "Please do not talk about anything unrelated to the auction. Alright, Boss Jia has ninety thousand yuan, is there a higher price?"

After going through the countdown three times, Jia Huairen successfully took it down, and unavoidably, looked at Yang Bo with contempt!

At three o'clock in the morning, the auction was getting faster. No one had time to raise the bid, as most of the auctions were done with the starting price. Even the rule of going to the front desk to appraise the items had been broken, and now everyone was too busy trying to snatch the items, whether they were real or fake!

Yang Bo and Luo Yaohua looked at each other and started laughing. This was the last bit of madness in the Mei Laosan, he had probably sensed something, and wanted to leave after he dealt with it tonight. If they came a day late, the Mei Laosan might be able to escape with the money!

At five in the morning, as the sky brightened, everyone in the auction hall became tired. There were a lot of items being auctioned, and the intensity of the auctions were extremely high, Yang Bo estimated that there were more than two hundred items that were auctioned in one night.

His clothes were completely wet, and his voice had already become hoarse, "Last is a small bag of coins, because there are too many of them, we won't auction them separately. Whoever is interested, we can settle the deal after offering a price!"

Yang Bo glanced around and saw that the so-called bag was a shopping bag that was commonly used in supermarkets. It had around half a bag in total.

Of course, the value of coins couldn't be determined by the age. The Yan Knife of the Warring States Era had a history of 2300 years. Although it was a long time ago, the market value was only about 100 yuan. The prices of the five baht of Han Dynasty 2000 years ago, the five baht of Tang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago and the Xuan and Tongbao of Northern Song Dynasty were even more incredible. One could get one for only a few dollars.

However, more than 100 years ago, coins such as "heavenly treasure" were cast in Qing Dynasty, such as "Qixiang treasure" and "Huixiang treasure". After the revolution of 1911, the Guang Yang released by Yuan Shikai, also known as "Yuan Datou", was also very expensive, reaching a price of several thousand yuan per piece.

Yang Bo only looked at it, he did not have the intention to buy it, because he already knew the final destination of these items.

This bag of coins was eventually taken by an antique shop owner for a mere 20,000 yuan. The price was outrageously low. Of course, this was also based on the possibility that there were precious coins inside.

Very soon, the transaction was completed. Everyone took turns to go up and take inventory of their own items. Once the inventory was completed, they would be able to pay the bill.

Yang Bo stood at the periphery of the crowd, looking at the noisy crowd, seeing that Luo Yaohua was really going to swipe his card to pay the bill, and noticing the resentful look in his eyes when Jia Huairen was paying the bill, he thought in his heart, when exactly do we start the operation?

"Don't move! "Police!"

Just as Yang Bo was thinking, he heard a sharp shout!
