Gold Ranch

Chapter 58: Fakes

"Young Master Li bid 100 million yuan, is there any price increase?"

Although the auctioneer was afraid of Li Dong, he still asked timidly what his duty was.

Tang Ming frowned slightly, but still couldn't figure out why the Li family was interested in a piece of calligraphy and painting. According to Tang Ming's understanding of the Li family father and son in the past two days, they were both rough people.

Not like the kind of literati with artistic cells.

"Old Tie, do you know why the Li family wanted this calligraphy and painting?"

Tang Ming asked Zhao Mingyu, who was full of expectation, Zhao Mingyu was waiting for Tang Ming to raise the price, so he could clean up Li Dong.

But when Tang Ming suddenly asked, he was taken aback for a moment, and then he answered without hesitation!

"You don't need to ask. It must be bought back and displayed in a museum. You don't know yet. The Li family opened a museum in Anxiang City. It hasn't been open for a long time, but I heard that there are a lot of things in it!"

Tang Ming finally understood when he heard this, with a wicked smile on the corner of his mouth, and under Li Dong's angry eyes, he calmly raised his sign.

"300 million!"

"Damn it, it's 300 million, this kid dares to call it 300 million, isn't he too courageous?"

"Young Master Li seems to be unlucky today. He is probably about to bleed profusely when he meets two desperate brats."

"Strange, when did the weather change in Anxiang City? With so many brats who dare to challenge the Li family, Li Huaan's good days are probably coming to an end."

"I don't think so. You see, these two boys are only in their early twenties. How could they be the opponents of the Li family? I guarantee that if they can't get out of this hotel, they will be abolished."

……

Tang Ming's huge sum of 300 million yuan instantly attracted the attention of all the bosses present. Everyone was guessing Tang Ming's identity and what he was about to face soon.

Only Zhao Mingyu couldn't help applauding. Li Dong was about to explode with anger. If it wasn't for the presence of many big bosses, he would have rushed over to fight Tang Ming.

But when he came here, his father gave the painting a death order, so he had no choice but to follow, watching the auctioneer's hammer about to fall.

Li Dong sighed helplessly.

"500 million!"

"Old Tang, he paid 500 million yuan, hurry up, increase the price, increase the price! Shoot him to death!"

"There's no need to add it. Look at Li Dong's face. Adding it will piss him off. It's better to let him go back and lie on the bed for euthanasia."

"Euthanasia? What do you mean? Could this painting be fake too?" Zhao Mingyu was said to be confused again.

Tang Ming nodded.

"That's right, the real copy of this painting hangs in my dad's office, it's the only one in the world, so this one must be a fake!"

"This...how is this possible? Old Tang, are you sure you didn't fool me because of a lack of money?"

It was really hard for Zhao Mingyu to believe that there would be so many fake things in such a large auction. The only possibility was that Tang Ming was short of money and embarrassed to say so.

"Think what you want, but it won't be long before the Li family is going to be in big trouble. With such a stupid son, Li Hua'an did a lot of crimes in his previous life."

Tang Ming watched quietly as the auctioneer delivered the wrapped ancient painting to Li Dong with a smile on his face. Li Dong's hands were trembling as he took the painting.

"Huh! We still overestimated these two brats, and the Li family is rich and powerful."

"I just happen to have a little spare money recently, and I plan to invest it in the Li family's company when I go back."

"If these two boys don't leave, I'm afraid they won't be able to leave tonight."

……

Just as everyone was guessing how Li Dong would deal with Tang Ming and Zhao Mingyu, the staff brought a jar covered in yellow mud, and the mouth of the jar was sealed with concrete-like soil.

The few strips of yellow cloth that leaked outside have been rotten, and the engraved patterns on the bottle are blurred, but the words with the word "wine" can still be vaguely seen.

It's just that there is a stench coming from this jar from time to time, which makes people a little unbearable. As soon as it was put out, the big bosses in front covered their noses one after another, showing impatience.

The auctioneer watched everyone's reaction, frowning slightly, obviously a little embarrassed, but he still insisted on introducing it.

"Everyone, this is a bottle of Nurhong that has been preserved for hundreds of years. It was found in an ancient tomb. Experts predict that it should be the fine wine Nurhong that we cellared 300 years ago."

"Cut! Don't blow it up, who are you fooling? Whose daughter's red is not ten miles of fragrance, look at this stinky smell, it almost makes everyone spit up, take it away!"

"Yes, your stuff is purely for fooling people, take it away quickly, if you don't take it away, I won't participate."

"Really think we are fools, can't tell the difference between wine and excrement? You don't have big excrement in it, do you?"

……

There were bursts of complaints, and everyone shouted angrily, and they almost didn't go up and do it themselves.

In the end, the auctioneer didn't even have a chance to make an offer, so he was directly kicked off the stage. The organizer had no choice but to hastily ask someone to take the jar away.

Tang Ming's eyes lit up, he hurriedly got up, and followed the staff to the backstage.

"Hey! Old Tang, what are you doing? It's only halfway through the shoot and you want to run away?"

Zhao Mingyu thought that Tang Ming was going to run early because he was afraid of Li Dong's revenge, so he couldn't help muttering, but he was also afraid in his heart, so he didn't dare to stay, and followed Tang Ming closely.

"Two gentlemen stay here, this is the work area, non-staff are not allowed to enter."

"Excuse me, I want to buy that jar of wine, how much can I sell it for?"

"You...you want to buy that jar of wine?"

"That's right, what's the matter? It's not for sale, is it?"

"Sell, sell, sir please."

A man in a suit and leather shoes who looked like a leader became excited when he heard that Tang Ming wanted to buy the jar of wine.

He politely led Tang and Ming to a lounge and ordered someone to bring the jar.

Tang Ming took a closer look at the appearance and smelled the smell, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was slightly hesitant.

"Hey, this smell is really good. Old Tang, you must be sick. You can still smell this smelly thing. I can't stand you. I know you came here to hide from First Young Master Li. Stop pretending!"

Zhao Mingyu covered his mouth and nose impatiently and said.

"Boss, how much is this jar?"

Tang Ming ignored Zhao Mingyu and asked directly.

"[-], sir, this is the lowest price I quoted, and I didn't add a penny. To be honest, this thing is too much of a hindrance for us. If it wasn't for the entrusting party who insisted on selling it, I wouldn't take the job!"

The man obviously couldn't wait to make a move. Tang Ming swiped his card for [-] without saying a word, and walked out with the jar in his arms.

When passing by the hall, Tang Ming subconsciously glanced at Li Dong, and found that Li Dong was also staring at him with an evil smile on his lips.

"Old man, hurry up and call the police!"

"What? Call the police? Why?"

Zhao Mingyu was confused by Tang Ming's sudden words.

"Don't ask so many questions, if you don't want to die, just call the police and say that there are illegal transactions here!"

After Tang Ming finished speaking, he smiled at Li Dong from a distance, the smile was full of contempt, and then quickly left the hall.
