Chapitre 176: 176 Boss Tao is determined to win

Unlike the conventional seated auction, Kang Family Auction House provided completely private booth service.

Many private buyers were not willing to disclose their collections publicly, and to protect their identities, each booth at their auctions was of an enclosed type.

Inside every booth was a tablet where a price could be entered. Buyers could either hand-write the price or use the buttons provided to increase the bid by amounts ranging from ten thousand to one million. Once the increase was confirmed, the auctioneer's overhead LED screen would display the bid amount from the respective booth number.

Besides those with insider information, no one knew who was sitting in those rooms. There was no such thing as courtesies derived from relationships; bidding was very free.

The starting price of the first auction item wasn't high; it mainly served as a means to draw out other bids.
