Just as a group of people was thanking Chen Yang, suddenly someone spoke out, "Friend, are you willing to sell that Plum Blossom Painting? I'm willing to pay five hundred thousand to buy it!"
The others snapped out of their stupor and started shouting, "I'm willing to pay six hundred thousand to buy it!"
"Six hundred thousand and you have the nerve to bid? I'll offer one million!"
"One million, get lost! I'll offer two million, please sir, you must part with it!"
The one who called out two million was a fat man. Right after he shouted, his friend immediately pulled him aside and whispered, "Are you insane? This painting isn't by any master, why offer such a high price?"
The fat man said quite smugly, "What do you know? Last year, at an overseas auction, I saw a Plum Blossom painting very similar to this one, and it ended up selling for thirty million!"
