Chapter 521: The Battle of Two Girls

Christie's Score in New York has recently held several auctions in succession, each of which has sold for more than $30 million.

The Magnificent Jewellery auction at Christie's Auction Centre tonight will auction a total of 96 jewels, including a gemstone necklace from the British royal family, a work of art designed by famous British artisans for more than 100 years, it is made up of 325 multicolored diamonds, the largest of which is a pink diamond of 8.35 carats.

Chen Yuxing and Mai Okochi walked out of the auction hall under the guidance of Lisa and Delis. Speaking of which, this is the second time Chen Yuxing has participated in the auction, the first time is the auction he participated in Fengjing, and the highest auction price in the whole auction is the jade pendant he gave to Minister Zhao.

Christie's auction hall is much larger than the auction hall of the auction company in Fengjing City, and the seats prepared for the buyers participating in the auction are also very humane, relatively independent, and will not be interfered with by each other, but they can observe the situation of the entire hall at a glance, so as to avoid blindly participating in the auction and offending people who should not be offended.

"Boss, because we applied to participate in the auction late, the middle seats in the first few rows have been booked, and our seats are in the sixth row, do we need to change to the front row?"

Dai Lisi said cautiously, as the boss, it would be shameless if she didn't sit in the first row, let alone sit in the sixth row. But Delis asked Chen Yuechan for instructions, but got a reply not to deliberately pursue the position, and when Delis led Chen Yuxing to take a seat, she still asked the captain with a weak heart.

Chen Yuechan's arrangement is very correct, she is worthy of being an all-round biochemical person who has been instilled with comprehensive knowledge of Niu Niu, and she has a more thorough understanding of Chen Yuxing's ideas and practices, Chen Yuxing does not attach importance to these formal things, and he brought Mai Okochi over to make soy sauce. They didn't look at the auction catalogue and lot descriptions, and they didn't have a specific purpose, so it didn't matter where they sat down.

"No need, it's very good here, let Mai see, how these rich people in New York bid for it, learn from it, and have a long insight, isn't Mai?"

Chen Yuxing rubbed Mai Okochi's little head. In his subtle movements, Mai Okochi was also very useful to Chen Yuxing's actions. When Chen Yuxing rubbed her head, she would squint her eyes and enjoy this warm moment.

"Uh-huh. ”

Mai Okochi snorted twice, indicating that she didn't care about the position.

There are a total of four seats in their seats, Chen Yuxing and Mai Okochi sit in the middle, Lisa sits on Mai's side of Okochi, and Delis sits on Chen's side.

It was now close to the start of the auction, and the auction hall was almost full. Many people knew Delis, waving to her from a distance, and greeting her from a closer distance, and Delis showed her ability as a public relations manager at this time. Give an enthusiastic response to everyone who greets her, so that everyone can feel that she cares about them.

Chen Yuxing couldn't help but look at this cyborg who didn't say much by his side. The communicative skills that she showed and the knowledge instilled by Niu Niu into her were on the one hand, and on the other. It also shows that Delis herself has a strong public relations ability, after all, most of Delis's memories and abilities are still preserved in the brain of this cyborg.

There was nothing to do during the period. Ten minutes later, the auction officially began.

The few lots that opened the auction were uncharacteristic, and the highest auction price did not exceed $100,000. Not only did these things not attract Chen Yuxing's attention and attention, Mai Okochi was also not interested in them, and in some jewelry stores, she saw no worse treasures than these lots. And she already has a large number of them in her hands.

It was only in the tenth lot that Chen Yuxing became a little more interested. This is a piece of Hetian jade zuò handle, which belongs to his father Chen Ning's favorite. Chen Yuxing has never given his father a gift since the last time he gave his father a watch made by a comprehensive ship. Seeing this handle, Chen Yuxing had the urge to buy it, so he came to the country once, so why did he have to bring back a gift to his father.

"Mai, buy this piece of jade. Chen Yuxing instructed Mai Okochi.

Mai Okochi, who was about to fall asleep on top of him, immediately became interested.

"Husband, are you asking me to buy it?" Mai Okochi asked Chen Yuxing in an uncertain tone.

"Yes. Chen Yuxing gave Mai Okochi an affirmative reply.

Mai Okochi jumped up, and Chen Yuxing put his index finger on his lips, signaling Mai Okochi to be quiet. But at this moment, Mai Okochi's actions have caused dissatisfaction among the auctioneer and people in several positions around her.

"Please be quiet, this lady, this is Christie's, not a wet market. Ladies and gentlemen, please continue to listen to the introduction of the lot by the service lady. ”

Mai Okochi didn't pay attention to the auctioneer's unkind words, she took the number plate from Lisa's hand and was eager to participate in the bidding.

Chen Yuxing heard the insult in the auctioneer's language, his brows couldn't help frowning, Lisa heard the unkindness in the auctioneer's words, and secretly sweated for the auctioneer, don't look at the harmless appearance of this young man and beast in China, he was angry, he could kill Yingye overnight, this arrogant auctioneer actually rubbed his beard, this is because his life is long.

“…… This jade weighs 106 grams, is pale green as a whole, with occasional white spots, and is an ornament of the nobles of the Han Dynasty in China,......"

The waitress finished memorizing the lines, walked in front of the bidders in the first row, showed them the lot, and then put the ancient jade back into the mahogany zuò tray, and turned to get off the auction table.

"The auction price for this Han Dynasty jade cicada piece is 30,000 US dollars, and each increase must not be less than 1,000 US dollars, or a multiple of 1,000 US dollars, and the auction will start now. Which gentleman or lady bid. ”

"Thirty thousand. ”

A European-American man in a white suit sat in the second row, holding up a sign to make the first bid.

"This Mr. 15, bid $30,000. Gentlemen and ladies, the one has to raise the price. This is a precious cultural relic with a history of more than 2,500 years, and it is very rare to be able to preserve it until now,......。 Ladies and gentlemen, do not miss this great opportunity. Thirty thousand dollars for the first time. ”

The auctioneer dragged you for another minute to see if no one was bidding again, and then he called out for the first time.

Chen Yuxing reminded Mai Okochi.

"Hey, little girl, if you don't raise your cards, people will make a deal. ”

Mai Okochi shot back:

"He's going to scream twice. I'll hold up the sign again when he calls for the second time. ”

Chen Yuxing shrugged his shoulders and was speechless for a while, this chick has her own ideas. I saw her as a child, and I underestimated her. She understands that he doesn't have to worry about this anymore, Hengzhi is for her to play, and she can play as she likes.

"Forty thousand. ”

Before Mai Okochi could raise a sign, an Asian man sitting in two seats to their left and right raised the price. Mai Okochi glanced to the left and her small mouth pursed, clearly angry.

"The No. 78 player, the price is increased by $10,000. Now it's $40,000, which gentleman or lady has to increase the price, $40,000 for the first time. ”

"Fifty thousand. The European-American men in white suits in the second row added another $10,000.

……

"Sixty thousand. "The Asian man added another 10,000.

"One hundred thousand. As soon as the Asian man's words fell, a woman's voice came from behind Chen Yuxing. Chen Yuxing and Mai Okochi both unconsciously turned their heads to the back. Look at the man who added $40,000 at a time.

Lisa also turned to look behind her, and when she saw the person who was bidding, she was slightly surprised and muttered in a low voice, "Why is she here too?"

"Who is she? will surprise you so much. Chen Yuxing asked.

"She's Claire Morgan of the Morgan family. Twenty-five years old, a well-known swinger in New York, her father, Gail Morgan. He owns 8% of the Morgan family, the third largest in terms of total assets, and is the current chairman of JP Morgan Chase Bank.

She is the darling of entertainment reporters, and when I was an entertainment reporter, I also wanted to interview her, but I didn't get the chance. She dared to do anything, and once organized a nude, fornication, and promiscuous duì activity attended by more than 100 people, which became a sensational news in the whole meter.

She came here today, it should also be a whim, there is no predetermined position, otherwise she would not have appeared now, and she is still sitting in the back row.

She is very welcome at auction houses in New York, and she does not have to pay a deposit to participate in the auction at any time. ”

Chen Yuxing nodded, understood, this girl should be the rich second generation of the United States. His style is no different from the rich second generation of Huaguo, unruly, arrogant, and does not take anyone seriously, which is their common problem, and it is inevitable.

In the course of the conversation between the two, the European man in the white suit sitting in the front row added another $10,000, and the auction price of this ancient jade reached $110,000, which has exceeded the estimate of $80,000 by antique experts.

The Asian man saw that it was Claire who raised the price in the back row, so he put the sign upside down on the table and gave up the competition. This piece of ancient jade is not worth offending a little woman, who is notoriously difficult.

"This Mr. 15 raised the price to $110,000, $110,000 for the first time. I hope that the gentlemen and ladies present here will enthusiastically increase the price, and this piece of art, which bears 2,500 years of history, is the oldest artwork in today's auction. If you miss it, it's even more difficult to come across this kind of opportunity. ”

"One hundred and twenty thousand. Claire Morgan added another $10,000.

"No. 128, this lady has increased the price to 120,000, and I express my heartfelt respect to this lady. 120,000 for the first time. ”

A middle-aged lady next to bidder No. 15 whispered a few words in his ear, and the white suit glanced back at Claire Morgan in the last row, and then did not increase the price.

When the auctioneer saw that the bidder on the 15th had no intention of raising the price again, and the price of this ancient jade had exceeded the estimate by 50%, he no longer delayed the time, and after shouting for the first time, he only looked at the audience for more than ten seconds, and said, "Is anyone still raising the price?" and immediately shouted "120,000 yuan for the second time." ”

Mai Okochi was watching the excitement of the two sides, cold, and the auctioneer shouted for the second time, she was a little anxious, and hurriedly raised the sign in her hand, but forgot to shout the price.

The auctioneer on the stage was about to shout for the third time and dropped the auction hammer. But when he saw a little girl holding up the sign, he was stunned for a moment. But immediately calmed down.

"This lady number 74 has a markup... Increase to $121,000. Twenty-one thousand dollars for the first time. ”

After the auctioneer shouted for the first time, he looked at Claire Morgan in the back row, and waited for more than ten seconds to see Claire react, so he shouted the second time.

"Twelve hundred and twenty-one thousand dollars a second time. ”

"One hundred and thirty thousand. Claire added another nine thousand dollars.

It wasn't until the auctioneer shouted "$130,000 for the second time" that Mai Okochi held up the sign.

"Ms. 74 raised the price to $131,000. Thirty-one thousand dollars for the first time. ”

In this way, Mai Okochi increased the price by a thousand dollars, and Claire increased the price by another nine thousand dollars. The auction price of this ancient jade soared to 200,000.

Mai Okochi added another thousand.

There were more than 100 bidding seats and more than 300 people, all staring at the two girls' fighting methods. Almost all of the people who came here to participate in the auction knew Claire, a celebrity from New York. And the Asian girl, no one knew her.

But Delise, who sat in the same seat with this girl, was known to many people, and she was still well-known among the business class in New York as the public relations manager and spokesperson of the company's ETC company, which rose like a comet. She accompanied two young Asian men and women to the auction, which shows that this girl's status should not be underestimated.

I don't know if Claire really likes this piece of ancient jade, or if the eldest lady's temper has flare-up, she actually stood up from her seat, pointed to Mai Okochi in the front row and shouted.

"What do you mean? a thousand, a thousand. Is it just to go against me?"

The auctioneer was stunned, Claire was furious, the auction house would not allow this to happen. But the other party was Claire, and he didn't know what to do, and he looked at Mr. Joseph, the general manager of Christie's Score Company in New York, who was sitting in the first row. Joseph shook his head at him secretly, signaling him to leave it alone and do his job.

"Two hundred and one thousand dollars for the first time. Ladies and gentlemen, is there any price increase?"

"Two hundred and fifty thousand. Claire angrily shouted out a price.

There was an uproar in the auction room, not how high the price was, everyone here would not care about the $250,000, they thought that Claire had lost her mind, and it was completely a gambling bid, which was a taboo in the business world, no wonder her father, I let her participate in any business activities of the family.

After Claire shouted out 250,000, she pointed to Mai Okochi and said:

"You add it, you add it again!" A jealous posture, I can't wait to go over and eat Mai Okochi.

Mai Okochi grinned and said to Chen Yuxing:

"Husband, it's fun, it's mad to her. ”

"Beware of her revenge on you. ”

Chen Yuxing scares Mai Okochi. Mai Okochi pouted and said disdainfully:

"Who takes revenge on whom, not necessarily?"

Chen Yuxing was speechless again, and there was an extra black line on his head.

The two of them were teasing here, and Claire was still shouting over there, but Mai Okochi was unmoved, and the auctioneer had already shouted, $250,000 for the second time, and he had already held the hammer in his hand. Claire saw that the two people in front of her had no intention of raising the price, and began to regret it, 250,000 US dollars to buy this piece of jade, it was really not worth it.

Just when the auctioneer had already shouted "$250,000...", and the wooden hammer in his hand had a downward trend, Mai Okochi lazily held up the sign. Claire secretly breathed a sigh of relief,

"The lady number 74 added $251,000. And the gentleman and lady raised the price, 251,000 dollars for the first time. ”

The auctioneer's heart blossomed, and the matter was not over, and his eyes looked at Claire. Not only him, but almost everyone in the auction hall except for the four people in seat 74 were focused on Claire. (To be continued......)
