The guests present didn't show much interest in this item since it's a fragmented scroll and doesn't hold much value. But some started to bid nonetheless, thinking they could at least use it as a decorative piece to show off.
"One million one hundred thousand."
"One million two hundred thousand."
...
The guests started to bid, but the prices weren't going very high, and the bids were incrementing rather slowly. It took quite a while for the bid to break two million.
Understanding the guests' mindset, Tang Ming immediately raised the bid to two and a half million, thinking he could secure this rather useless item.
Caidie glanced at Tang Ming in surprise. This person had spent over two hundred million earlier, and now he's still buying. He really is wealthy.
Just as expected, after Tang Ming bid, the previous bidders began to give up. Though the item wasn't valuable, they were aware of Tang Ming's financial power. If they continued, the price might soar even higher.
