"2.1 million!"

"2.3 million!"

"2.5 million!"

The bid of "3 million!" kept flashing on the screen, and the number soared all the way up. In just a few minutes, it broke through 3 million, a speed that was astonishing.

Among them, a European royal collector dressed in a gorgeous suit and wearing a crown was particularly aggressive. He had an arrogant expression and a hint of provocation in his eyes. He frequently raised the price, each time by no less than 1000 million yuan, and sometimes even by 2000 million yuan. His tone was disdainful, clearly targeting the Chinese collectors and trying to force them out so that he could take this rare treasure for himself.

Yang Linshuo's eyes turned cold, and he pressed the bidding button without hesitation, raising the price to 3.2 million yuan. His tone was firm and unyielding, forming a stark contrast with the European royal collector. A low gasp of amazement immediately rose from the audience, and some couldn't help but admire him.

"This young collector is incredibly audacious!" A security guard whispered to Jiang Wenxi, his voice tinged with worry, "Ambassador Jiang, this royal collector is extremely wealthy and obsessed with Chinese porcelain, especially Ru ware. He has amassed a large collection of ancient Chinese porcelain, and it's highly unlikely he'll give it up easily. Moreover, he's clearly targeting us. What should we do?"

Jiang Wenxi shook her head, her eyes as firm as iron, a sharp glint flashing in them. A domineering smile curled at the corner of her lips as she stared intently at the bids on the screen. When the European royal collector raised the price to 3.8 million yuan, she pressed the bidding button without hesitation, and the bid of 5 million yuan instantly appeared on the screen.

The bright red numbers were particularly eye-catching, and like a thunderclap, they instantly exploded throughout the banquet hall, plunging the entire place into a deathly silence. You could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared in disbelief, their eyes filled with shock, and even their breathing stopped.

After a long while, a huge commotion erupted again at the scene. People began to discuss it, their voices filled with shock, amazement, and awe: "My God! 5 million yuan?"

"Are you crazy? They really have money!"

"Who is this mysterious bidder? Their financial resources are incredible! They're absolutely loaded!"

"It seems this bidder is determined to win; they're willing to pay any price to acquire this Ru ware tripod washer!"

The European royal collector's face turned pale, then red, then purple, his expression extremely ugly. He gripped the bidding button tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force, his eyes filled with resentment, anger, and disbelief. He never expected Jiang Wenxi to be so domineering, not giving him any chance.

He hesitated for a long time, his eyes constantly scanning back and forth between the bids on the screen and the direction where Jiang Wenxi was, weighing the pros and cons repeatedly in his mind—5 million yuan. Even though he was wealthy, he was unwilling to pay such a high price for a piece of porcelain, and he was even less willing to lose in this bidding to a mysterious anonymous bidder and a group of Chinese collectors, thus losing face for the royal family.

Finally, he slowly released the bidding button, his face ashen, let out a cold snort, turned his head away, and stopped looking at the big screen, clearly giving up the auction.

The collector's representative could no longer contain himself. He quickly called over a waiter, whispered a few words in his ear, and then had the waiter leave.

Looking at the quotes on the screen, Yang Linshuo slowly breathed a sigh of relief, a relieved smile appearing on his lips. He nodded slightly towards Jiang Wenxi from afar, his eyes full of admiration. Jiang Wenxi glanced at him unintentionally and nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

At this moment, she remained calm and composed, without showing much emotion.

The auctioneer was stunned, remaining speechless for a long time before reacting. His voice trembled with excitement as he shouted, "5 million yuan! This anonymous bidder has offered 5 million yuan! This is the highest bid so far. Is there any other gentleman or lady willing to raise the price?"

5 million yuan the first time! 5 million yuan the second time! 5 million yuan…”

A sudden voice rang out, "6 million!" silencing everyone present.

5 million is already a very high price, but I didn't expect someone to offer 6 million.

Upon hearing the voice, Jiang Wenxi knew it was definitely the collector's representative who had made the move. But even knowing this, she wasn't flustered at all. After all, while it's hard to say about other things, when it comes to wealth, probably no one could beat her.

The sign for "700 million" plus 100 million immediately lit up, surprising everyone even more.

"Are these two at odds? Why are they both adding 100 million at a time?"

Upon hearing this, the person quickly spoke up as well.

"You can add it like that too."

"Forget it, I don't have that kind of ability."

The collector's representative was furious when he heard Jiang Wenxi casually add 100 million. Did this young girl really have that much money? Based on his understanding of the China Cultural Relics Protection Museum, how could they possibly approve so much for her?

The man then offered 8 million, but Jiang Wenxi clearly felt that was too slow, so she directly said, "One billion!"

To everyone's surprise, this time the increase wasn't 1 million, but 2 million.

The auctioneer excitedly exclaimed, "Ten billion! Ten billion! Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?"

"One billion the first time, one billion the second time, one billion the third time."

As the auction gavel slammed down, a crisp "thud" echoed throughout the banquet hall, and the Song Dynasty Ru ware celadon-glazed tripod washer was successfully purchased by Jiang Wenxi.

A burst of enthusiastic applause and discussion erupted in the room. Everyone was filled with awe and curiosity towards this mysterious anonymous bidder, and deeply impressed by the boldness of the Chinese collector.

The collector's representative could only kick the fence in frustration.

Jiang Wenxi won the next two Ru ware porcelain pieces (a flared-mouthed vase and a teacup), the fragment of Yan Liben's "Portraits of Emperors Through the Ages", and the copy of Han Huang's "Five Oxen" painting, one by one with her firm determination, strong financial resources, and flexible and decisive bidding strategy. She was domineering and showed no mercy throughout the process.

During this period, although many collectors were still unwilling to give up and frequently raised prices maliciously in an attempt to obstruct her, some even deliberately provoked her by adding 100 million yuan more each time in an attempt to anger her and force her to give up, Jiang Wenxi always responded calmly and composedly. She would either directly raise the price significantly, instantly suppressing the other party's arrogance and not giving them any chance to provoke her.

Either wait patiently, and when the other party hesitates, make a decisive offer to defeat them in one move, giving them no time to react.

Every bid was precise and decisive, every price increase was domineering and sharp, drawing frequent exclamations from the audience. The awe in their eyes grew stronger, and no one dared to challenge them easily anymore. Many collectors gave up bidding and could only watch helplessly as Jiang Wenxi acquired one lost Chinese cultural relic after another.
