Chapter 35
"Ladies and gentlemen, the last novel we are going to auction is a tomb robbery novel titled "Notes on the Tomb."

On the table in the auction hall, there was a novel with yellowed pages and a picture of an ancient tomb printed on the cover.

Looking at the guests in the audience, the host introduced: "As we all know, the difficulty of creating tomb-robbing novels is very high. Before that, the highest-level tomb-robbing novels in our country were only one-star. And the book "Tomb Raiding Novels" to be auctioned tonight Tomb Notes" is the first two-star tomb-robbing novel in history. Although it is a fragmented copy, it is of great collection value, and it is a rare classic in plot flow, which is of great reference value in terms of creative techniques. The base price of this novel is 20 yuan, with a one-time increase of at least 1 yuan."

As soon as the voice fell, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became a little more gunpowder.

"22 million!"

"25 million!"

"27 million!"

……

Seeing the rising price, many guests at the scene suddenly became more serious, except for one person, of course, he was Liu Xing.

"30 million!"

"32 million!"

"35 million!"

……

Just as Liu Xing expected, tonight's auction was indeed full of local tyrants, and the bidding price continued to rise, and Liu Xing's chest was thumping when seeing the rising price.

Every time a local tyrant raises the price, Liu Xing's worth rises a little.The more markups, the faster the rise.

The price of "Book Tomb Notes" rose from 20 to 30, and then from 30 to 40. It successfully broke the previous record of 39 and became the novel with the highest bidding price in the audience tonight.

What makes Liu Xing even more excited is that the price is still soaring.

Liu Xing paid special attention to it, and found that most of the bidders were elderly people, about 60 years old.Most of these old people are novel collectors and like to collect all kinds of novels.

Novels in Huaxia Kingdom are expensive, and those who can become novel collectors are generally from very good families, and there are many billionaires.

This "Book Tomb Notes" is the first two-star tomb robbery novel in the country, and its collection value is self-evident. Therefore, the on-site auction was very fierce. After breaking through the 40 yuan mark, it rose to 45 yuan.

Liu Xing originally thought that this should be almost the same, and the price of 45 was far beyond his expectation. Just as he was pinching his fingers to calculate how much money he could share, a voice sounded again.

"47 million!"

Immediately, the audience fell silent, and all their eyes were focused on a woman in a red dress sitting in the eighth row. The woman was in her 50s and wore a pair of reading glasses. She was an old bookseller on Fiction Street and worked as a bookstore. In business for over 20 years.

Liu Xing began to calculate in his mind. According to the agreement between him and the auction house, he can get 70% of the transaction price. Now that "Book Tomb Notes" has been sold for 47 yuan, Liu Xing can earn about 33 yuan. The 40 is only 7 short...

"48 million!"

Suddenly, another voice sounded, and Liu Xing turned his head to look. Unexpectedly, the person who bid this time was Cai Fugui who had been silent all this time.

Cai Fugui came here tonight for "Book Tomb Notes"?
"50!" The woman in red continued to raise the price.

"52!" Cai Fugui seemed to have made up his mind.

"53 million!"

"54 million!"

……

For a while, the old woman in red and Cai Fugui confronted each other, and they raised prices with each other without any intention of giving in. Both sides seemed to be bound to win.

Seeing this, Liu Xing also felt strange. Both the woman in red and Cai Fugui were old booksellers in the novel street. They had never seen any books before, so why were they so obsessed with this "Book Tomb Notes"?
Liu Xing couldn't figure it out for a moment, but he understood one question - he was going to post it today!

As the bidding price continued to rise, Liu Xing's personal wealth also soared rapidly!
"60!" The woman in red said in a more serious tone.

"62!" Cai Fugui didn't change his expression, his tone was decisive!
"63 million!"

"65 million!"

……

The price keeps going up one after another, and Liu Xing has been secretly calculating how much money he can share, but every time he just finishes the calculation, there is a new quotation immediately, which makes him have to do the calculation again.

After this situation happened more than ten times in a row, Liu Xing became smarter and simply ignored it, and decided to wait for their bidding to end.

Facts have proved that Liu Xing's strategy is completely correct. Cai Fugui and the woman in red did not stop, raising the price again and again, from 50 to 60, from 60 to 70, and from 70 to 80. Wansheng reached an astonishing [-] yuan, and the bidding price was already so high that many guests at the scene were dumbfounded.

Although "Book Tomb Notes" is extremely valuable for collection, it is only a two-star novel after all, and it is also a eunuch novel with a beginning and no end. Now it is sold at a high price of 80 yuan, which is unprecedented.

Many senior novel collectors at the scene were also confused. These collectors have been collecting novels for decades, and they know exactly what kind of novels are worth.However, these collectors did not expect such a high price for this "Book Tomb Notes".

Many people can't help but have a question, why do Cai Fugui and the woman in red want "Book Tomb Notes" so much?

Spending 80 yuan to buy a two-star novel, is there something strange in "Book Tomb Notes" that others haven't discovered?

"82 million!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the woman in red once again raised the bidding price. Her voice was already a little trembling. Obviously, this price should be beyond her tolerance.

As soon as the woman in red finished calling the price, many people at the scene involuntarily cast their eyes on Cai Fugui, and Liu Xing also looked at Cai Fugui.

"84!" After hesitating for a while, Cai Fugui called out a new price.

刘星忍不住又默默算了一遍自己能分多少钱，84万乘以70%等于……四七28，七八56……等于……差不多60万！想不到我的身家在短短几分钟暴涨了60万！
"Anyone else increase the price?"

At this time, the host of the auction site scanned the audience, and said for a moment, "The first time for 84! The second time for 84! The second time for 84..."

"88 million!"

At the last moment, the woman in red still couldn't hold back, and raised the price again.

Many people at the scene shook their heads. This price is already a bit ridiculously high, and I am afraid it will break the auction house's record for the highest auction price for a two-star novel.

"Shouldn't anyone increase the price?" The host thought to himself, he had presided over hundreds of auctions, and it was rare to see such a crazy one like tonight, and he was about to announce the fruiting of the tree.

"90 million!"

When Cai Fugui called out the price, the woman in red trembled with anger, her eyes slanted, and she cast a resentful look at Cai Fugui.

Suddenly, the scene became quiet, like the calm after a storm.

Scanning the audience, the host announced: "90 for the first time, 90 for the second time, 90..." After a long tone, which lasted for five seconds, "The third time! Alright, I announce that this book "Notes on the Tomb" was auctioned by Boss Cai of Fugui Book Bar at a price of 90 yuan."

At the moment when the announcement was made, Cai Fugui let out a long sigh of relief, and his tense expression finally relaxed.

With the birth of the auction results of "Book Tomb Notes", the auction in the afternoon officially came to an end, and the guests left the venue one after another.

When he walked out of the auction site, Cai Fugui walked with a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses. The man with gold-rimmed glasses was Jin Abiao, 45 years old, and the deputy director of the Tianhai Book Wholesale Market Office. .

"Boss Cai, you really did a great job tonight! You won "Book Tomb Notes" for 90 yuan. This should be the highest price for a two-star novel in the history of the auction house!" When Jin Ah came to the entrance of the auction house, Biao asked strangely, "Is this "Shu Tomb Notes" worth so much? It is a fragmented copy!"

"If you like it, buy it. Money is something outside of your body." Cai Fugui smiled lightly. He also knew that this novel was not worth so much money, but this novel has other uses.

Jin Abiao said in admiration: "Boss Cai is really generous, my younger brother is an eye-opener today."

"Where, where. By the way, Director Jin, I have something to tell you." Cai Fugui said, "I'm going to buy Caiyun Bookstore the day after tomorrow, and I'm going to buy a batch of books from you. You have to give me some advice." Great price!"

"Caiyun Bookstore?" Jin Adu was puzzled, "I seem to have heard that Caiyun Bookstore was bought by a man surnamed Liu. When did you buy it?"

Cai Fugui smiled and said: "Director Jin, you don't know. The man named Liu is Liu Xing, the son of Old Liu who suffers from dementia. This kid has just come out of the mental hospital. How can he get 40 yuan to buy Caiyun?" Bookstore? He has a three-day appointment with Huang Caiyun, saying that he can earn 40 yuan in three days. The day after tomorrow will be the third day, and he must not have so much money, Caiyun Bookstore will be mine by then."

Jin Abiao asked: "Boss Cai, why do you say that Liu Xing can't make up 40 yuan?"

"Director Jin, isn't this obvious? Lao Liu's Mingxing Hotel is in a bad business, and the rent is almost gone. How can Liu Xing get 40?"

Cai Fugui smiled and said, "You should have seen it just now. Liu Xing also came to participate in the auction today, and he was still sitting in the first row. He probably sneaked in. I didn't see him calling from the beginning to the end of the entire auction." Overpriced, obviously because I have no money in my pocket. If this kid can have 40, I will write his name upside down."

Feeling that the words were wrong, Jin Abiao reminded: "Boss Cai, you must know that the "Notes on the Tomb of the Book" belongs to Liu Xing..."

"What... what?"

Cai Fugui's expression changed, his eyes stared like eggs, and he asked anxiously, "You... what did you just say?"
