Chapter 2047 Children's Games
Ye Tian looked at the coquettish little girl in the audience and said with a smile:
"Baby Nannan, not only did you kiss uncle and aunt Betty just now, but the other children also kissed us. Each of you is very cute and we all like it very much.
However, there is only one green jade tiger. If I give it to you, wouldn’t the other little babies be sad and blame me for being biased. That would be bad.
So, it is better for us to decide who this little green jade tiger belongs through competition, so that it is fair, and only in this way can everyone not blame me for being biased!"
Hearing this, the little girl Nan Nan immediately turned her head to look at the friends around her, then pouted and nodded reluctantly and said:
"Okay, Uncle Ye Tian, it's really not good to be partial, but I still want this little green jade tiger. It's so cute."
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and everyone was amused by this innocent little girl.
When the laughter fell a little, Ye Tian continued with a smile:
"It's okay, Nannan baby, if you really like this little green jade tiger, you can continue to raise your hand to meet the price. As long as you can beat other little babies, this little green jade tiger will belong to you."
"Um!"
The little girl standing in the audience nodded heavily, bit her lips tightly, clenched her fists, with a firm expression, and she looked determined to win.
"Okay, let's start the second round of bidding. The current price of this jade tiger is ten yuan, ten yuan. Who is going to pay the price? If the price is met, please raise your arms and shout out loudly, so that your uncle can hear it."
Before he finished speaking, the audience quickly raised more than a dozen arms, a few fewer than before.
"I'll pay ten yuan to buy this little green jade tiger. Uncle Ye Tian, sell it to me!"
"And I, Uncle Ye Tian, I like this little tiger very much and want to put it on the head of the bed so that I can see it every day."
The little guys in the audience rushed to respond loudly. Everyone's voice was very immature and beautiful, and each little guy was full of excitement and longing.
Among them is the little girl Nan Nan. She put her toes and tried to raise her arms high, and shouted loudly, fearing that Ye Tian would not see or hear.
Ye Tian nodded slightly to the little babies below the stage, and then said aloud with a smile:
"It seems that everyone likes this little green jade tiger very much. There are so many little babies who can I pay for the price, but there is only one green jade tiger, who should I give it to? It seems that my uncle has to raise the price again.
It was ten yuan just now. The price of this green jade tiger is 100 yuan, 100 yuan. That little baby is ready to accept the price? Please raise your arms and shout out loud!"
A few more little guys raised their hands to answer the price and shouted loudly in excitement. Nan Nan was still among them.
However, compared with the last bidding, there were fewer little guys who raised their hands to bid this time.
These little babies who participated in the auction can talk, laugh, run and jump, and they know a little bit!
They also know a little about the role of money and know that they can buy a lot of things with money, such as delicious snacks, beautiful clothes, toys, etc.
Under such circumstances, some little guys are inevitably reluctant to let go, so they are a little hesitant.
Several of the little guys, who were five or six years old, were particularly struggling.
They already know the role of money, but they don’t understand it very well. They like this little jade tiger, but they are reluctant to spend money.
Unlike these little babies, the children older than them have some knowledge of the purchasing power of 100 yuan. They know that they can't buy too many things, so they are willing to do so!
On the contrary, those three or four-year-old babies have a very vague concept of money and don’t know what you can buy for 100 yuan. When raising your hands to meet the price, they are more determined and rely solely on their preferences!
While these little babies raised their hands to meet the price, their parents' hearts were all raised to their throats, staring at their own babies, wishing they could rush forward to bid for their own babies.
During each round of bidding, two different voices sounded, sighing and cheering.
When their parents see their babies raise their hands to respond to the price and are still in the competition, their parents will cheer for it, hug and celebrate with their lovers around them, and praise their babies to their friends for their intelligence.
Other parents will sigh regretfully when they see that their babies have given up competition and no longer raise their hands to meet the price.
However, no parent on the scene shouted to remind his baby and provided guidance to him.
Everyone knew in their hearts that this was a game between children, and if they were involved, they would be completely distorted!
While speaking, Ye Tian offered a new price.
"There are quite a lot of little babies who deserve the price. It seems that everyone is a little rich man. The auction continues. The price of this green jade tiger is five hundred yuan, five hundred yuan. That little baby deserves the price? Please raise your hand!"
This time, the number of little guys who raised their hands to meet the price suddenly decreased, leaving only two, one was Nan Nan and another little boy born in the year of the tiger.
As for the other little guys, they have withdrawn from the competition, either biting their fingers and are struggling with thoughts.
That's five hundred yuan. How much delicious food can you buy, how many beautiful clothes can you buy, and fun toys!
Although this green jade tiger is very cute, it seems not as good as those delicious snacks, beautiful flower skirts, and the latest toys.
Nan Nan and the little boy who raised their hands to respond to the price were both the children of Ye Tianfa’s childhood friend and classmates.
As they raised their arms and responded loudly, cheers rang out from the audience, from their parents.
Moreover, the parents of these two little guys were sitting on two adjacent dining tables. Before the auction was completed, they had already started to fight.
"Great! My wife, I didn't expect that our daughter would be so persistent. It seems that she would take the lead and take down this jade tiger from the Ming Dynasty."
"Little Lizi, don't be too happy too early. Didn't you see my son raising his hand? My son is a few years older than Nannan and is even more sensible. The final winner is probably my son!"
Ye Tian looked at the two little guys in the stands who raised his hands to answer the price, and then prepared to raise the price again and enter the last round of bidding.
At this moment, a little guy who had been biting his fingers and doing ideological struggles suddenly raised his arm, looked up at Ye Tian, and said in pain:
"Godfather, I want this little jade tiger too."
Needless to ask, this little guy is the fat son of Dawei and Li Yun, and Ye Tian’s godson.
Before he could finish his speech, cheers were heard in the audience, from Dawei and Li Yun.
"Did you see it? That's my son, it's a good thing!"
"Zhao Xiaotong, Little Li, you are all very happy too early. It is not certain who is the final winner. The competition will continue."
Looking at the ecstatic couple, Zhao Xiaotong, her husband, and the Li Zi family rolled their eyes in anger and said a few words to Dawei and Li Yun.
At this time, the last round of competition had begun in front of the banquet hall.
"Little babies, it's the last round of auctions. The price of this green jade tiger is 1,000 yuan, 1,000 yuan. Which baby deserves the price? Please raise your hand and let your uncle see it."
Ye Tian smiled and said loudly, quoting the final price.
However, no one answered the price this time.
The three little guys who raised their hands to respond to the price just now bit their fingers and lowered their heads to fight their minds. Everyone had a painful expression on their faces.
For them, one thousand yuan is a big amount, especially Nan Nan and Dawei's fat sons, who may not count to one thousand now.
Looking at their performance, their parents were anxious in the audience, as if they were in a bad mood. They had to pretend to be calm on the surface and acted like they were indifferent!
At this time, these parents wanted to fly directly to the edge of the stage, raise their baby's arms, and take off the valuable green jade tiger.
But doing that would be too ugly. Who can tear off her face in front of everyone?
The top collectors and antique art appraisal experts who are also in this banquet hall, as well as other insiders, were all envious of them when they heard the final offer given by Ye Tian.
They knew that Ye Tian used this method to make his childhood and classmates rich, and did not hurt the self-esteem of those childhood and classmates. The method was very clever and thoughtful.
But is it a loss to do this? The value of that jade tiger is far more than that.
But these top collectors and antique art appraisal experts did not know that Ye Tian’s final offer was the price he bought this jade tiger in Paris. He did not lose a penny, but just took it!
After more than ten seconds of ideological struggle, someone finally raised his hand to meet the price.
"Uncle Ye Tian, I still want this little green jade tiger. Can you buy it for me? Please?"
Nan Nan said timidly, and slowly raised her arm, with a slight scent of prayer in her tone, and she was almost crying.
The other two little guys had raised their heads and looked at Ye Tian and Nan Nan respectively, still biting their fingers, but did not raise their hands to respond.
Seeing this situation, Ye Tian hurriedly said:
"Baby Nannan, don't cry. If other children no longer respond to the price, this green jade tiger belongs to you. If there are still children who raise their hands to respond to the price, this green jade tiger belongs to you.
In short, since you raised your hand to meet the price, this cute little green jade tiger already belongs to you, so you should be happy that when the auction is over, you will be able to own this cute little green jade tiger.”
Ye Tian dared not let this little baby cry. Once she started crying, it might trigger a chain reaction, which would cause other little guys to cry loudly, and that would be a mess.
Hearing his words, Nan Nan's little girl immediately turned cloudy and sunny, and an extremely bright smile appeared on her pink little face.
"Great! This little green jade tiger is mine, thank you, Uncle Ye Tian"
The little guy jumped three feet high and started to celebrate cheerfully.
The other little guys looked at her enviously, and even jumped and cheered with Nan Nan, and had long forgotten to raise his hand to respond.
The Little Li Zi and his wife, who were located in the audience, also celebrated excitedly, and smiled so brightly.
According to the procedure, Ye Tian quickly asked twice to see if any of the little babies raised their hands to meet the price and shared this jade tiger with Nan Nan.
Unfortunately, these little guys did not respond, but just jumped around and celebrated with Nan Nan, and gave the green jade tiger to Nan Nan.
Next, Ye Tian picked up the auction hammer placed at hand and knocked directly at the solid wood stairs on the edge of the stage.
"Bang!"
With a muffled sound, the auction finally came to an end.
At the same time, Ye Tian's clear voice also came from the stage and reached the ears of everyone on the scene.
"Okay, one thousand yuan, the deal is completed! The winner is Nan Nan baby. This green jade tiger belongs to you. You will get it later!
In addition, I would like to thank other little babies for their enthusiastic participation. Don’t be discouraged. There are many beautiful antique artworks waiting for you behind!"
Chapter completed!
