Chapter 366: 【366】That’s not right, you are deceiving me_1
 

“Wow…”

The crowd that had been watching the excitement nearby immediately burst into commotion.

A brush that was originally worth only fifty thousand yuan had actually been bid up to one hundred thousand by Tang Feng; wasn’t that a bit too exaggerated?

The stall owner was also stunned; this unexpected fortune left him fearing that Tang Feng might change his mind, so he hastily stood up and said, “One hundred thousand? You said it yourself, no backing out, got it?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll transfer the money to you right now.” Tang Feng said as he took out his cell phone from his pocket.

“Hold on a moment.” Just then, the elderly man suddenly spoke up to interrupt, “I’ll offer one hundred and ten thousand.”

“Wow…”

Everyone who thought the matter had been settled didn’t expect another twist.

These two really got into it, each still increasing their bids even after surpassing one hundred thousand.

The happiest person here was the stall owner.

A moment ago he almost sold it for thirty-five thousand, but now the price had gone up to one hundred and ten thousand.

What’s called a real surprise?

But amidst the surprise, he also began to have some doubts.

These two were competing fiercely for this brush; could it be that they saw something extraordinary about it?

He snatched the brush from Tang Feng’s hand and looked it over several times, but still couldn’t see anything special about it.

Seeing his expression, Tang Feng knew he must have become suspicious and hastily pretended to be a rich fool, “Oh, so you’re comparing wealth with me? I just won five million in the lottery, see? This guqin, I bought it for five hundred thousand. And this smoking pipe, bought for two hundred thousand. That’s how rich I am!”

He put on the air of a nouveau riche, as if afraid others wouldn’t know he had money.

The onlookers who saw the two antiques he had just bought couldn’t help but secretly scoff “a fool and his money are soon parted.”

Who would spend seven hundred thousand on two pieces of junk? Was his head kicked by a donkey?

Upon hearing Tang Feng’s words, the stall owner became even more skeptical.

Could it be that this guy didn’t actually recognize the brush’s value and was just putting on airs?

“Are you going to bid again or not? If you don’t, the brush will go to this gentleman here.” The stall owner pointed to the elderly man, continuing to provoke Tang Feng.

“What do you mean, am I going to bid or not? If you dare, let’s keep this up until the end—two hundred thousand!” Tang Feng declared grandiosely, waving his hand for a bid of two hundred thousand soft sister coins.

The stall owner was so startled that he nearly dropped the brush, looking at him incredulously, “How… how much? Two hundred thousand?”

This price was already a three to four-fold increase over the original, indeed a bit shocking.

And the people around watching the spectacle all thought Tang Feng had gone mad, spending such an enormous sum of money in a fit of pique.

The elderly man, in particular, was shaking with anger.

He didn’t actually know the real value of the brush, only that it seemed somewhat extraordinary; coupled with its reasonable price, he had planned to buy it.

One hundred and ten thousand was already his limit.

And Tang Feng had directly driven the price up to two hundred thousand, effectively cutting off his escape route.

However, in his view, Tang Feng was deliberately making things difficult for him, “You… are nothing but a crude and vulgar nouveau riche, thinking you’re amazing just because you have some stinky money? The cultural circle is ruined because of people like you. Humph!”

After berating him, he turned and left in a huff.

Tang Feng didn’t care; as long as he could smoothly get his hands on the brush worth thirty million, what was a little scolding to him?

“Boss, give me your account number; I’ll transfer the money to you right now.” He turned back and said to the stall owner, preparing to make the transfer.

But the stall owner hesitated again at this point, “Friend, what’s the story with this brush? You’re willing to spend two hundred thousand to buy it; you must have seen something special about it, right?”

Having been in the antique business for so many years, and having seen all kinds of people, Tang Feng’s behavior indeed made him very suspicious.

Even a nouveau riche wouldn’t normally spend two hundred thousand on a plain brush on a whim.

Unless, of course, the brush had some value that he couldn’t see.

Tang Feng’s heart skipped a beat, realizing that this old fellow really wasn’t easy to fool, and he felt a bit annoyed, “Cut the crap, are you going to sell it or not?”

The stall owner looked him up and down a few times with a greedy smile on his face, “Of course I’m selling, but the price… has to be at least three hundred thousand!”

“Heh, you’re quite the insatiable one indeed, boss. You think two hundred thousand is too little? Good thing I’ve cooled down now. I really did make an impulsive bid of two hundred thousand just now. It’s great that you’re unwilling to sell; this way, I can avoid spending money unnecessarily. Bye-bye.”

After mocking him, Tang Feng pulled Xu Xinling, prepared to leave.

What they were playing now was a psychological battle; one must seize the initiative, or else only be led around by the nose.

Seeing them leaving, the stall owner hastily jumped out from behind his stand and grabbed Tang Feng’s arm, “Friend, I was just joking. Two hundred thousand is two hundred thousand, cash on delivery.”

Tang Feng shrugged off his hand with a sheepish smile, “After thinking it over carefully, I’d better pass. You wait for someone fated to come along.”

“That’s not right, you’re cheating me.”

The stall owner once again grabbed Tang Feng’s arm, his face full of indignation, “I was just about to sell it to that old guy, and then you barged in. Now that the old guy’s gone, if you don’t buy it, who am I going to sell it to?”

“I really can’t buy it; my wife controls all the money at home, you can ask her if you don’t believe me.” Tang Feng said, pointing at Xu Xinling.

Xu Xinling immediately stood with hands on hips in cooperation, “Buy what buy? You just wasted so much money on two pieces of junk that everyone laughed at, and now you’re buying again? Are you planning to open a junk recycling station or what?”

Tang Feng couldn’t help but silently give her a thumbs up; this woman’s acting skills were really good—it’d be a waste if she didn’t enter the entertainment industry.

Actually, Xu Xinling was speaking her true mind; she indeed thought Tang Feng had collected two pieces of junk, so her emotional investment was very sincere.

“You heard her, my wife won’t let me buy.” Tang Feng shrugged helplessly to the stall owner.

“That’s none of my business, you said earlier you wanted to buy it, so you have to follow through. That’s the rule in the antique trade, get it?”

While saying this, the stall owner tried to shove the brush over to him.
