Chapter 486: The Battle of Will

A photograph that had been oblivion for 80 years soared from $10,000 to $280,000, and while the absolute number was not enough to cause bidders to feel 'shocked', as an auctioneer, it was the result of his efforts.

So after seeing Feynman, the owner of Dulwich Gaming Company, give up the bid, the auctioneer also dropped the hammer heavily, and congratulated Fu Zhengyi on winning this ManRay photograph "Electricité"!

As a 'fake' collector, Fu Zhengyi was really embarrassed to stand up and thank him like his bidder, so he had to hang his head and pretend that he didn't care, looking through the auction brochure in his hand.

An upset auction with a high price will not slow down the pace of the whole auction, and with the start of the next collection, the normal order and atmosphere in the venue will be restored.

Feynman, the owner of the Dulwich Gaming Company, who deliberately raised the price, put the number plate on the seat and walked out of the venue quickly, and after taking out the phone and dialing it, he reported with some pride. "Mr. Henry, the Oriental you mentioned earlier is holding the number seven plate, and I just raised the starting price of a ManRay photograph "Electricité" that he wanted to buy from $10,000 to $280,000......

"Don't be careless, this kid is very rich! But don't be fooled by his disguise, if the final beast head can't push the price up to more than one million, then you can bid to buy the beast head!"

Feynman grinned, but deliberately complained. "Mr. Henry, I can't afford that much money!"

"People don't know, don't you know who Christie's auction house is?"

"Oh my God! I forgot that you are the big boss behind Christie's auction house, don't worry!

Hanging up, Feynman smoked another cigarette before walking into the venue and sitting down.

Looking at Fu Zhengyi, who was sitting in the front row, Feynman sneered and shook his head, thinking to himself who this unlucky Oriental person is not good for, if he has to provoke Mr. Henry, a huge man in the collection world, it is simply unbelievable, it seems that today he only needs to raise the price appropriately, which is enough to let the other party fall into the bureau set by Henry and make a big ruin!

The auction continues.

David fell in love with an abstract oil painting, and after many signs, he bought it for more than $7 million.

Different from David's excitement, Fu Zhengyi felt that it was just a child's casual graffiti, so he asked Liu Meijia quietly. "Do you think this painting is worth that much money?"

"I don't know if it's worth that much money, but David is a well-known art connoisseur, and as long as he thinks it's worth it, it's worth the price!"

Such a clever answer made Fu Zhengyi a little surprised, thinking that Liu Meijia had never been so good at speaking before, obviously living in the United States not only made her more confident, but also made her language style have made great progress!

"Then do you think this photo I took is worth it?"

"I'm sure you'll be willing to pay a higher price to get a child's graffiti," Liu Meijia smiled and added in a lower voice. "Because at least you can understand children's graffiti, and the real artwork is what you can't understand......"

Despised !

And it's still deeply despised!

Seeing Liu Meijia looking up and biting her lower lip with a smug look, Fu Zhengyi really can't wait to correct her on the spot and revitalize her husband now!

Below is a painting by female Dadaist artist Clara Theis, an artist and illustrator who was born and raised in New York and became known as the 'Queen of Greenwich Village' for her bohemian style. She is also said to have claimed to be the first person in New York to have her bob cut......"

The auctioneer's humorous introduction made the atmosphere in the venue relaxed.

Fu Zhengyi was about to raise his card, and the blonde girl sitting in the front row quoted a price of $10,000, which was five times the starting price!

Fu Zhengyi put up the number plate. "Thirty thousand!"

The auctioneer's eyes lit up, and he immediately spoke. "Ah! Bidder No. 7 strikes again! Dadaism's work seems to be bound to him!"

The blonde girl was furious. "Fifty thousand!"

Liu Meijia was a little puzzled. "Justice, don't you already have one?"

"There will only be four Dadaist lots in today's auction, and in fact, this one is the only one that I can look at as good as the previous photo, so as long as the price is not high, I am ready to buy them all......"

After explaining, Fu Zhengyi raised the price by 30,000 yuan.

The blonde girl sitting in the front row turned her face and glared at him angrily, as if she wanted to remember what he looked like, and she looked completely enraged.

It's just that the blonde girl's slender and slender body makes her angry expression look like an enraged cat, not only is it not threatening, even Liu Meijia can't help but laugh out loud!

The blonde girl's eyes were misty, and she turned her face and put the number plate on her lap, but she gave up the bid quite simply.

When the auctioneer was about to swing the hammer again, Feynman, who was sitting in the back, raised the number plate and shouted lazily. "Eighty thousand and five hundred!"

Liu Meijia turned her face and looked at it, a little annoyed. "Why is this guy so annoying?

Fu Zhengyi didn't look back, raised the number plate and directly increased the price. "One hundred thousand!"

"One hundred thousand and five hundred......

"One hundred and twenty thousand!"

The buzz in the hall became louder.

No matter how sluggish the bidder was, he understood that the person in the back row was deliberately raising the price, and someone called the director of the auction company over to inquire about the situation.

"One hundred and twenty thousand five hundred ......"

"One hundred and fifty thousand!"

When Fu Zhengyi quoted the price of '150,000', Feynman, the owner of the Dulwich bookmaker, hesitated before putting the number plate on his lap, staring at Fu Zhengyi's back and waiting for him to turn around.

David turned his head and glanced at the person, leaning into Fu Zhengyi's ear and lowering his voice. "It seems that he is specifically targeting you, presumably the last beast head to appear today will be auctioned for a sky-high price......"

"It doesn't matter, it's more expensive. In short, we can't let Henry put the beast's head in his collection so easily!"

Seeing Fu Zhengyi's resolute attitude, David smacked his lips, he understood that the matter had entered the level of 'battle of will', and it was difficult to persuade him.

The painting of a female Dadaist artist with a starting price of only $2,000 was finally won by Fu Zhengyi at 75 times the starting price, and the auctioneer standing on the stage was swollen with excitement, and after the third Dadaist lot was put on the stage, he set his eyes on Fu Zhengyi and announced that the starting price of this Dadaist sculpture was 20,000 US dollars, and the price increase should not be less than 1,000 each time!

The atmosphere in the room became more subtle, and some interested bidders hesitated, most of their eyes on Fu Zhengyi, while others stared at Feynman, the owner of Dulwich Books, to see if he would be the first to make a bid.

The auctioneer standing on the stage was stunned.

Because a full minute passed, and there was no one in the entire venue to bid!

The blonde girl in the front row finally raised the number plate. "Fifty thousand!"

Seeing that the auctioneer was staring at him, Fu Zhengyi did not raise the number plate expressionlessly until the depressed auctioneer was ready to swing the hammer. "Eighty thousand!"

"Eighty-one thousand dollars!"

The lazy voice from the back row made the blonde girl sitting in the front row almost collapse!

She stood up and threw the number plate in her hand on the chair, picked up her purse and walked out, glaring at him hatefully with murderous eyes as she passed through Fu Zhengyi's row!

"She seems to be carrying a Louis Vuitton leather bag in her hand, and she seems to be wearing the latest Dior women's clothes, fashionable and tasteful, but you almost made her cry in anger, you are simply too bad! There is no gentlemanly spirit at all......"

Liu Meijia's ridicule made Fu Zhengyi speechless. "Please, is this an auction? Could it be that if you are pretty, tasteful, and have a famous brand, you should give it up?

After a snort, Liu Meijia hurriedly covered her mouth. "You're so bad! David is in his fifties, and it's ......unreasonable for you to use him as a target."

The auctioneer standing on the stage saw that Fu Zhengyi was only laughing with her female companion after the blonde girl left, and didn't pay attention to his hoarse voice and was about to swing the hammer, and when he raised the hammer in depression and was about to shout 'the third time', Fu Zhengyi, who had been paying attention to the progress of the auction, raised the number plate again, directly raising the price to 150,000!

"150,000 Dadaist sculptures, now some people have sold 150,000! No one is still bidding? Is there still ......?"

Feynman, who was sitting in the back, immediately raised the number plate in his hand and shouted lazily. "One hundred and fifty-one thousand ......"

Hearing the lazy voice, David stabbed Justice with his elbow. "This sculpture is worth $40,000 at most, it is neither a masterpiece nor a representative, it is really not worth paying such a high price! If you really want to buy it, I would like to sell you the Dadaism collection in my collection room......"

"Oh, you also have a collection of Dadaist sculptures?"

Although he knew that Fu Zheng was not short of money, David still felt that he had an obligation to dissuade him from acting irrationally. "Even if I don't, I can find a more suitable one for you, there is really no need to compete with this idiot at auction......"

The auctioneer standing on the stage understood the temper of the bidder with the number seven plate sitting in the audience, and after quickly announcing that someone had bid 151,000, he was ready to enter the final countdown...... (To be continued.) )
