A 50-year-old man is reborn and becomes a complete slacker, leaving his scumbag children completely

Just as the two of them were talking, the auction for the bronze figure had already begun.

Everyone understood the value of the bronze figure, so everyone was willing to bid, and the auction price rose rapidly, quickly approaching the original price of the bronze figure.

At this point, many people stopped bidding because they were worried about losing money. Although antiques tend to increase in value over time, this was still a considerable sum.

The same amount of money, if in their hands, could potentially be converted into greater profits in a shorter period of time.

Therefore, they would rather miss out than pay too high a premium to buy it.

Just when everyone thought the deal was about to be finalized at that price.

Suddenly, Mr. Dong made his offer, raising the price directly to over the estimated value: "120,000!"

Everyone was taken aback.

Sitting behind Dong Daoquan, he leaned closer and whispered, "Old Dong, you've already quoted too high a price. The bronze man is estimated to be worth 100,000. You might be losing money with this price."

He thought that Dong Daoquan had misheard what the auctioneer had just said.

Dong Daoquan chuckled: "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Seeing Dong Daoquan's calm expression, ** stopped trying to persuade him.

After Dong Daoquan announced his price, no one else in the room made any more bids. Firstly, the bronze figure was already worth that much, and secondly, Dong Daoquan had influence, so everyone was willing to give him face.

Dong Daoquan easily won the bid for the bronze figure at a price of 120,000.

The auction ended quickly, and all the auctioned items were bought back by their new owners.

However, since it was a small auction, after the auction, everyone didn't need to go to a special place to pay. After all, these were big shots, and the auction organizers didn't want these important figures to have to wait in line to pay.

So they served everyone tea, fruit, and snacks, so that everyone could eat and chat at the same time.

On one side, there were people coming up one by one to collect money from the people who had just taken pictures of the items.

When they arrived at Dong Daoquan's side, the woman in the tight-fitting cheongsam squatted down and whispered to Dong Daoquan, "Mr. Dong, how do you plan to pay the 12 you just auctioned off?"

Dong Daoquan didn't answer him directly, but looked at Hu Dahai beside him: "So, are you going to pay half now, or should I cover the rest for you first?"

"I have money, I'll pay half myself." Hu Dahai still had 60,000 yuan on hand, after all, with so many businesses now, cash was being sent to him every day.

"Row."

So the two of them each paid 60,000 to the woman who came to collect the money.

This scene left many people speechless.

On the other side of Mr. Dong, an elderly man of similar age joked with him:

"Daoquan, do you still need money? If you do, just tell me and I'll give it to you directly."

As soon as he finished speaking, many people looked at Dong Daoquan, wanting to know what was going on.

Dong Daoquan smiled and said, "Old Liu, you don't understand. I didn't dare to buy this bronze figure at first because although I felt that its value was far more than 11, I couldn't be sure. It was Dahai who said that he also believed that this bronze figure was extraordinary, so the two of us put together the bid."

"Oh? Is there such a thing? Could there be something strange about this bronze figure?" the old man asked curiously.

Upon hearing the voice, everyone turned their gaze to Hu Dahai.

I want to know what gives Hu Dahai the confidence to say that this bronze figure is of extraordinary value.

However, when they saw that Hu Dahai was just an unknown person whom they had never met before, many people looked away without paying much attention.

They treated this as a joke.

At the same time, they couldn't understand why Dong Daoquan would believe Hu Dahai's words so much.

Even the ** was secretly worried for Hu Dahai, because this bronze figure had been appraised by many experts and bigwigs before it was put up for auction.

Even these big shots think 11 is the estimated value. Now, isn't Hu Dahai questioning these big shots?

Dong Daoquan looked at Hu Dahai: "Dahai, why don't we examine the bronze man properly in front of everyone after we get it, and see what's different about it?"

Hu Dahai nodded: "Sure, we'll unravel the mystery in front of everyone in a bit."

It's just twisting the head off a bronze statue, what's so difficult about that?

Dong Daoquan was taken aback. He had only asked the question casually, because Hu Dahai also owned half of the bronze figure.

He originally thought Hu Dahai would refuse, but to his surprise, Hu Dahai not only agreed without hesitation, but also said that he would reveal the secret in front of everyone.

The key point is that Dong Daoquan had no idea what the secret of this bronze man was.

If they can't explain the real reason why the bronze man is worth more than his actual value, everyone present will probably sigh, which will be a significant blow to Dong Daoquan's reputation.

However, since things had already progressed to this point, Dong Daoquan had no excuse or reason to refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and say, "Okay, then we'll take a quick look in a bit and try to broaden everyone's horizons."

The people in the auction hall, upon hearing this, all became interested and began to whisper among themselves:

"We really need to take a good look at this bronze figure. I've been looking at it for a long time, but I don't see anything particularly special about it."

"Yes, I consider myself to be quite good at appraising treasures. I've managed to find several great bargains before. Is it really that I'm not good enough and can't tell the difference?"

"I was about to go back, but now that things have changed, I don't want to leave anymore. I want to take a good look around."

Everyone in the auction house stayed behind, eager to uncover the secrets of the bronze figure.

The auction staff saw the eagerness of the crowd and quickly brought the bronze figure back up.

Of course, there were also some reasons, namely that these people also wanted to see what secrets this bronze man was hiding.

Amidst everyone's anticipation, Hu Dahai and Dong Daoquan stepped onto the auction stage.

The two of them circled the bronze figure several times, looking at it from all sides.

The more Dong Daoquan looked at it, the more chilled he felt. He didn't know why, but the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the bronze figure was just like the bronze figure itself, and the less he felt that it had any other hidden value.

While Dong Daoquan was still deep in thought, Hu Dahai looked at the auction staff next to him and said, "Do you have any appraisal tools? Could you lend them to me?"

The staff member nodded: "Yes."

Soon, they brought over a small box.

Hu Dahai rummaged through the small box and found a magnifying glass, gloves, cotton cloth, tweezers, and so on.

However, these were all small or rather delicate tools, not at all what Hu Dahai wanted.

So he turned to his head and asked again, "Do you have a hammer?"
