23. Stealing chickens does not become a counter-erosion of rice
Autumn Forest Auction Company, Auction Hall 1, Anniversary Celebration Auction continues.
"500 million, 500 million at a time, is there a higher price?"
The auctioneer shouted hoarsely.
The audience was looking forward to it.
Was this sky-high auction successfully auctioned away by this strange tyrant in the end, or was it strongly auctioned away by Europeans and Americans?
It's about to be revealed.
They are looking forward to it.
It's a good show!
"500 million times. ”
There was silence.
They all looked at the five or six European and American tycoons sitting in the corner of the front row, wondering if they would continue to bid.
"500 million ......"
The auctioneer continued to shout, already holding the hammer high in his hand. His heart was pounding, his forehead was sweating wildly, and his heart had jumped to his throat.
At this moment, the local tyrants who were originally leisurely tasting wine also put down their wine glasses.
Lin Jia and Du Hongchang also stopped talking.
Honoro frowned, not knowing what was wrong, she suddenly had the urge to raise a card.
……
On the second floor, Shi Lin also stood up, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, looking at the audience.
Zhao Ying also ran over, sweating profusely.
"Chairman, your ......"
Zhao Ying said anxiously.
He felt that the bearded Europeans and Americans had just quoted 410 million yuan, and they could stop it.
But the stone forest wants to play a little bigger.
It made him anxious and helpless.
Shi Lin ignored him and continued to concentrate.
The auctioneer's hammer is already slowly falling.
Everyone in the audience stopped talking and stared closely at the slowly falling hammer.
This hammer goes down, and the tone is final.
"$100 million. ”
At this time, just as the auctioneer's hammer was slowly falling, the bearded man suddenly raised the sign and quoted a new price.
With that, he put down the sign and closed his eyes as if it were his last bid.
100 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, is 660 million RMB.
In other words, he raised the price by 160 million at a time.
"Boom ......"
For a while, the audience exploded.
The audience was bursting.
This is the real culmination.
People let go of their reservations and talked to each other.
On the second floor of the auction hall, Zhao Ying's eyes widened.
Can this be done?
Shi Lin glanced at him, smiled, drank the red wine in the cup in one gulp, and turned around and walked out.
Zhao Ying was a little depressed, and once again felt that he was too conservative.
……
"Oh my God, gentlemen and ladies, the most exciting hour has arrived. $100 million, $100 million, is there a higher price?"
The auctioneer's body shook, and his heart returned to its place.
He collapsed, but he still shouted frantically at the audience.
660 million, once sold, this is the highest transaction price of Chinese artworks in 2017.
Listening to the auctioneer's shout, everyone in the audience looked at the middle-aged man.
As if he had given in the towel, the man threw his arms to his chest, leaned back in his chair, and closed his eyes.
As everyone knows, he gave up.
"$100 million for the first time. ”
"$100 million for the second time. ”
"$100 million for the third time, sold!"
On the stage, the auctioneer made a final decision and shouted the deal.
He knew that the price was already sky-high, and it couldn't be higher. Even if Europeans and Americans are determined to win, they will not continue to be the main wrongdoer.
So the hammer did not hesitate at all.
"Congratulations to Charlie, for successfully photographing the most famous painting by Vincent Willem van Gogh, "Sunflowers". ”
The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
At the same time, applause rang out.
In the audience, those European and American tycoons glanced at each other.
This kind of applause made them feel a little ironic. Turning his head to look at the middle-aged man who had bid with them, it turned out that the man had disappeared. Seeing this, they all had a wry smile in their eyes.
Although they successfully photographed this "Sunflower", they were not happy at all.
How to say it, there is a feeling that stealing chickens does not become a counter-erosion.
……
No matter what those European and American tycoons think, at this time, the 'Qiulin Company' is excited.
100 million US dollars, equivalent to 660 million RMB.
The transaction price of 660 million yuan has created the most glorious moment since the establishment of 'Qiulin Company'.
……
With the finale, the auction officially ended.
The guests, under the guidance of the staff, left the venue one by one.
"Mr. Lin and Miss Mai, are you interested in going with me? ”
Du Hongchang stood up and smiled.
"Naturally. ”
Lin Jia smiled and looked at Mai Nuo, "What do you say, Xiaonuo?"
"Let's do it together. ”
Maino thought for a moment and said.
Then the staff took him to the lobby on the 5th floor to complete the final transaction.
The transaction went smoothly, and Du Hongchang got Mr. Qi Baishi's "Flowers and Birds" and a set of "Jade Jewelry Suit" from the Tang Dynasty.
He put the treasures in a safe and handed them over to the bodyguards.
The safe was handcuffed to the bodyguard's arm, and the keys were kept by him.
These two things are worth more than 300 million, and even Du Hongchang does not dare to be careless.
"Is your chairman here?"
Du Hongchang asked a reception lady beside him.
"You want to see our chairman too?"
The reception lady was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Wait a minute, everyone. ”
With that, she stepped aside and dialed Jiang Binghe's phone.
After listening for a while, she came back and said, "Several, please come with me." ”
Du Hongchang, Lin Jia, and Mai Nuo glanced at each other and followed into the elevator.
Watching the elevator door close, Du Hongchang asked the reception lady, "Is there anyone else who wants to see your chairman?"
"Yes, there were several guests from Europe. ”
The reception lady said.
Du Hongchang nodded and glanced at Lin Jia.
Lin Jia smiled.
This time, those European and American tyrants suffered a dumb loss in China, they will definitely be unwilling, right?
Even Maino on the side also shook his head and smiled.
Today, they have truly learned the phrase 'stealing chickens does not lead to rice'. This sentence is used to describe those European and American tycoons, which is too vivid.
Of course, what amazed them the most was the courage of the stone forest.
Before, when the bearded Mr. Charlie offered 410 million, they also thought that Shi Lin would stop.
Apparently, they underestimated the madness of the Stone Forest.
Soon, the elevator doors opened and they walked out. I happened to see several Europeans and Americans, led by Shi Lin's secretary Jiang Binghe, into another elevator.
"It seems that these international friends have not taken any advantage!"
Du Hongchang said with a smile.
"The auction is the final word, what if you are unwilling?"
Lin Jia shook her head.
"Please, the chairman is waiting for a few in the office. ”
The reception lady said politely.
Du Hongchang and the others nodded and walked towards Shi Lin's office.
……
"Mr. Du, Mr. Lin, oh! This beautiful young lady must be Miss Mai Nuo. ”
On the top floor, in the chairman's office, Shi Lin smiled and shook hands with Du Hongchang, Lin Jia, and Mai Nuo.
Holding Mino's hand, Shi Lin's heart moved, and he remembered that night.
