Since Liu Zixuan said so, what else could the owner do but say to the two of them, "Okay, anyway, you're both buying this piece of jade from me, so I won't lose either way."
"How do we compare?" Liu Zixuan asked.
You Long said, "Let's pretend this is an auction. The item up for bid is this piece of jade, and the highest bidder wins!"
"No problem. What's the starting price?"
"Starting price is 1.5 million!" the owner said. In fact, that was the real value of the jade. The 4 million he had previously quoted Liu Zixuan was just to make a hefty profit.
"I'll bid 2 million!" You Long raised his head, holding up two fingers.
"Two million and one!" Liu Zixuan shrugged his shoulders.
"Hey, what's with adding just one?!" You Long glared and asked.
"You didn't set any rules about bidding increments, did you?" Liu Zixuan spread his hands, a playful expression on his face!
