Xiao Yao said: "It seems that Boss Zheng should be a big collector, after the auction is over, let's keep in touch, maybe I can help you a little." ”

"You mean to say, can you connect me with a similar top-notch art?" Zheng Xiaowu was surprised by Xiao Yao's sudden words.

"Now is not the time to discuss this, when the auction is over, I will have a treat, and we will have a good exchange. Xiao Yao really meant this.

Three months later, he will pay Zeng Zhaoquan 15 billion, he is particularly short of money now, if he has the opportunity to sell a few top artworks, the financial pressure can be reduced somewhat.

The price of top artworks is too high, and it is not easy to find a suitable buyer in normal times, and Zheng Xiaowu is definitely a good partner to work with.

"Xiao Yao Xiaoyou, don't leave me behind when you eat, although I don't have the strength to buy, it should still be okay to help you do an appraisal. "Zhang Donggao is a top appraiser in China, and his love for artworks comes from the heart.

Xiao Yao hurriedly said: "That's for sure, the three of us are so fateful, no one can leave you behind." ”

Although Xiao Yao is very young, Zheng Xiaowu and Zhang Donggao, no one doubts whether he has this ability.

Not to mention Xiao Yao's temperament, just because he holds the golden number plate in his hand, the two of them are willing to communicate with him more.

After more than a dozen rounds of fierce competition, there are only two people left who are still holding cards on the field.

One of them is a member of the Qatari royal family, and the other is a wealthy man in the country.

"Who is this rich man in China? Does Boss Zheng know him?" asked Xiao Yao.

"Not only know, but also very familiar, this is also our magic capital rich man, his name is Yu Zongwen, do real estate, net worth at least 20 billion, love to collect, especially like to collect oil paintings. Zheng Xiaowu introduced.

Yu Zongwen, a wealthy man in China, is very powerful, and once again raised the price sharply, "390 million!"

The members of the Qatari royal family are even more wealthy, "395 million!"

Yu Zongwen paused for a moment and shouted desperately: "Four hundred million!"

"Four hundred and five million!" the tyrant temperament of the Qatari royal family is undoubtedly revealed.

The auctioneer waited for a moment, but Yu Zongwen did not raise his card again, "400 million and 5 million for the first time!"

"400 million and 5 million for the second time!"

"400,500,000,000 for the third time! Let's congratulate Mr. 632 on winning Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi". At the same time, I am honored to announce that we have set a new world auction record for art under the witness of all the guests present, which is my honor and the honor of all the guests. ”

The auctioneer's words ended, and the audience spontaneously burst into warm applause.

After the applause, Zhang Donggao said: "This may be the shortest art auction record, and a new art auction record is about to be born." ”

"That's true, what kind of sky-high price do you expect the Eros vase to be auctioned off?" asked Zheng Xiaowu.

"It should be at least $500 million, and the Eros vase would be enough to be a treasure in any museum, and the final price would be staggering. This time, what is the upper limit of the price you set?" Zhang Donggao asked curiously.

"I didn't set a price cap. ”

"You are planning to compete at any cost this time, if the Eros vase can fall into the hands of our people, I personally express my support, of course, only mentally. Zhang Donggao was very excited.

Zheng Xiaowu hurriedly waved his hand, "You misunderstood, our coal bosses are all rich people, it's okay to make a small fuss, if you want to compete for the Eros vase, you definitely don't have this qualification, I have self-knowledge, so I won't be ugly." ”

"It's really hard for you. Zhang Donggao sighed, "The Eros vase is so precious, a broken Portland vase can become the treasure of the British Museum, and this intact Eros vase is really too precious." Western countries have always admired Portland vases, and now the Eros, which is even more beautiful than the Portland vase, is now auctioned publicly, so you can imagine how fierce the competition is. ”

The Eros vase is so precious, the starting price is $200 million, although there are not many people holding cards, but everyone who raises the cards is very decisive, and the competition soon enters the white heat.

Zhang Donggao sighed and said: "Our domestic rich people are too short to develop, or lack a little background, except for the two rich people on Hong Kong Island who raise their cards to ask for prices, our mainland rich people don't even have a card, these top works of art are obviously sent by our domestic collectors, and in the end they have to fall into the hands of outsiders, which is really regrettable." ”

"I don't know which of the top domestic collectors sent these top works of art to auction? Dean Zhang, you are an authority in the industry, do you know?" Zheng Xiaowu was very curious about this mysterious collector.

Zhang Donggao shook his head, "I don't know who it is, it's really mysterious that this collector actually owns this kind of top-notch Western art." ”

Xiao Yao was a little embarrassed, he didn't mind letting these two people know his identity, but in this situation, it was not the right time, if the two of them talked about this issue during the dinner in the evening, he could admit it.

There were only a dozen guests competing for the Eros vase, but the competition was extremely fierce, and after the price exceeded $500 million, no one withdrew.

Anyone who intends to compete for this lot must have a minimum estimate of more than $500 million, otherwise there is no need to show up for it.

After the price topped $600 million, five contenders gave up on raising their cards. When the price exceeded $700 million, there were only 4 people left on the field who were still holding cards.

But these 4 bidders have an unusually firm attitude, and none of them will withdraw. It wasn't until the price exceeded $800 million that members of the Qatari royal family and an unknown rich man reluctantly withdrew from the competition.

"830 million!" the spokesperson for the bearded consortium suddenly raised the price sharply.

"835 million!" the rich of the Middle East are not to be outdone.

"850 million!" The spokesperson of the consortium is like a rainbow and is determined to win.

After waiting for a while, the rich people in the Middle East stopped raising their cards and clearly gave up on the competition.

In the end, this world-renowned Eros vase finally fell into the hands of a certain consortium.

Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" had just set the record for the world's highest auction of artworks, which was immediately broken by the Eros vase, and the record was directly doubled.

Xiao Yao's estimate for this Eros vase was 600 million to 800 million US dollars, and in the end, it was auctioned for a high price of 850 million US dollars, and Xiao Yao was very satisfied.
