Jiang An thought for a moment and replied: "A timber company called Lin Mutang usually has nothing special. It seems to be just an ordinary merchant..."

"It seems..." Cen Xiyan couldn't help but sigh softly.

Jiang An also frowned, "Sir, what do you mean, is there anything wrong with that Linmutang?"

"Now... I'm not sure yet." Cen Xiyan said he was unsure, but his expression and tone clearly suggested that there was something wrong with that Lin Mutang.

"Then..." Jiang An hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask: "Are we still going to pay this price?" Give up? I'm not willing to give up!

"Follow! Why don't you follow! We're going to settle on that piece of snakewood!" Now that we've made a move, there's no reason to stop!

Cen Xiyan snorted coldly, even if the snake-grained wood was a bait set by someone, what if she just treated her as a greedy fish? Even if she swallowed the fragrant bait, it would still require that much strength from the other party.

I have to pull her out of the water!

At this time, the host has already quoted the second price, and if he quotes again, he will have to hit the hammer.

Jiang An didn't dare to delay and immediately shouted out the price, "Three thousand one hundred taels!"

"Three thousand one hundred taels! Exotic snake mulberry wood, the guest in box six bids three thousand one hundred taels, is there any other guest who offers a higher price?" the host shouted.

After Jiang An followed up with the price, Cen Xiyan paid attention to the movement in the box No. 19 opposite. The man sitting in the main seat of the box turned slightly sideways after hearing Jiang An's bid, and seemed to say something to the person next to him.

The man next to him raised his head, glanced at their box number six, and then nodded slightly.

After that, the man at the main seat followed up the price again, "Four thousand taels!"

This time, the price was directly increased by nine hundred taels!

At this time, there was a murmur among the guests. Four thousand taels of silver were spent on a piece of wood that few people had even heard of, and even fewer people knew its characteristics. It was difficult to estimate the price. This was a bit excessive.

Already?

Could it be said that these two bidding merchants really know this kind of wood? Is this really an extremely precious wood?

"Four thousand taels! Four thousand taels! Is there any customer who offers a higher price?" At this time, the host was also aroused and shouted in a somewhat excited tone.

Because Cen Xiyan had already stated that he was bound to get this piece of snakewood, Jiang An did not consult her again this time and directly increased the price: "Four thousand one hundred taels!"

In Box 19, the person in the main seat said something to the person next to him, and the person nodded again.

"Five thousand taels!" the man at the head table shouted.

Actually, another nine hundred taels were added! This time there were more people discussing. Is that piece of wood really worth five thousand taels?

"Five thousand taels! The exotic snake mulberry wood has exceeded five thousand taels. Is there anyone who offers a higher price?" the host shouted excitedly.

"Five thousand one hundred taels!" Jiang An continued to follow the price without hesitation.

The man in charge of Box 19 turned to look at the person next to him again. This time, the person shook his head slightly.

This time, there was no movement in box number 19.

"Five thousand one hundred and two times!"

"Five thousand one hundred and two times!"

The host quoted the price twice, but there was still no movement from the Lin Mutang store on the 19th.

The host deliberately paused for a long time. Seeing that Box No. 19 was really not going to follow the price, he finally reported the price for the third time, "Five thousand one hundred and two three times!" The hammer in his hand fell, "Congratulations to Box No. 6 for your elegance.

The shopkeeper, I bought a piece of exotic snake mulberry wood at the price of 5,100 taels of silver!"

At this moment, in Cen Xiyan's box, the faces of Jiang An and the stewards were not very good-looking, and they could not capture the joyful look of Snakewood at all.

None of them were stupid. While taking pictures of the snakewood, they all realized that they had really fallen into the trap set by others.

If the people in Linmutang really knew the value of the snakewood and were determined to take the picture, they would never stop if they got five thousand taels. Even if it was ten thousand taels, they would continue to follow!

But if you don’t understand the value of the snake grain wood, you will definitely not be able to ask for five thousand taels for a piece of wood, unless you are out of your mind!

But now, it is meaningless to study whether the people of Linmutang know the value of the snakewood. Their behavior is obviously to induce them to follow the price!

But, what is their purpose? Jiang An and others still can't figure it out.

"Okay." Cen Xiyan said, comforting several people: "Five thousand taels of silver, we bought such a big piece of snakewood. We took advantage. We are all happy. Why are you looking like this?"

"Sir, why are they tempting us to follow the price like this?" Jiang An couldn't help but speak and asked the doubts in his heart.

"I don't know." Cen Xiyan paused and then said: "When it's time for us to know, we will always know..."

The secret treasure conference is continuing. There is no lunch break for this treasure conference. At noon, all the guests can only eat some tea and snacks prepared by Jinbilou to fill their stomachs. Fortunately, there are many varieties of snacks prepared here, and they all taste good.

. Of course, there are also some discerning people who have prepared food in advance and asked their entourage to bring it over.

After the snake-grained wood, there were no abnormal situations. Of course, the treasures sold after that were all high-quality products, but there were no exaggerated bidding or unusual treasures.

Until the afternoon, the long-awaited drawing of Master Gongshu Ban finally appeared!

The opening was not as intense as many people imagined, and the host's introduction was quite satisfactory. There was no exaggeration or exaggeration. He picked up the picture from the waiter's hand, unfolded it, held it up, and turned it around on the booth.

Show it to the surrounding guests, "This painting is said to have been painted by Master Gongshu Pan during his lifetime. It hides an exquisite machine diagram designed by him. Whether you can understand the mystery depends on your talent and understanding."

." At this point, the host laughed and made a little joke, "I am a piece of rotten wood and cannot understand this picture no matter what. It depends on who among the guests gets this picture. After that, it will be decided.

It’s so thorough that it creates miracles!”

Everyone craned their necks to look at the diagram in the host's hand. The diagram seemed to be made of sheepskin and was about two feet square. What was drawn on it was not a design drawing, but a simple drawing.

It's just a landscape painting, and its technique is jerky. It's obviously not painted by someone who is good at painting.

After seeing this picture, many people are inevitably disappointed. They thought it was a design drawing by Master Gongshu Ban. It turns out to be a painting. I don’t know if it is true or not. Even if it is true, the design drawing must be derived from the painting.

, that’s not an easy task either!
