"Bang!"

The auctioneer had no choice but to strike the gavel again, and continued: "Genuine, unique, excellent, can be used to describe this porcelain, I believe that my friends in China should want to bring this thing back, this is not only your glory, but also the glory of your country." I have another chance, and I regret it, but I don't regret taking the medicine. ”

To be honest, the auctioneer's heart was broken at this time, he had racked his brains to bewitch the people in the audience, but the actual effect was minimal, and no one bought it at all.

However, at this time, he didn't expect that most of the buyers in the audience had already been connected, and those who were not connected were not interested in this thing, so they would not bid, and what he thought of now was just that the rest of the buyers might have made a bid in order to show their respect for Zhang Tianyuan.

He discussed with Stein in the monitoring room with the Bluetooth headset he wore on his ear, and determined that he could sell it at this price, and finally struck the third hammer, and the deal was completed.

He thought that was the end of it, but it wasn't, because the nightmare had just begun, and this thing wasn't just the beginning.

The next four consecutive Chinese antiques were all auctioned off by Zhang Tianyuan at a fairly low price, and the interesting thing is that each time another buyer bid first, and then after Zhang Tianyuan bid, no one else bid.

Even if he really respected Zhang Tianyuan, he would not do this kind of process, and it was not until this time that the auctioneer realized that this was not a kind of respect, it was clearly a series of connections, and the buyers were connected to each other, and some kind of tacit understanding was reached.

He was drenched in sweat. From my clothes to my pants, I was soaking wet, and my body began to tremble violently. Such a situation, for auctioneers. It's a nightmare.

When the fifth Chinese antique was auctioned again, it was still the same situation, this is a painting by Tang Bohu, it is a genuine handiwork, the value of RMB is about 200 million yuan, converted into pounds, there are more than 20 million pounds, but in fact, Zhang Tianyuan's offer is only 5 million pounds. Although this price is not low, it is more than three-quarters lower than the estimate.

It should be said that there is still a lot of room for growth in this thing, but it is very helpless, the reaction of the people below is exactly the same as before, no matter what he says, how he talks about the lotus, how he bragged about the good of this painting, he can't change the result. If it is auctioned at such a price, although the auction house can make money, the profit margin is obviously compressed a lot.

Time passed in the tension and crankiness of the auctioneer, who was already dispossessed by this time. Because the people in the monitoring room had just warned him that if this thing was less than 10 million pounds, he should not even talk about it. Not to mention buying, after all, the original estimate was 20 million pounds. Although it was obviously a bit foamy, the foam was removed. That's 10 million pounds.

This is where the Brotherhood auction house is not satisfied, five million pounds, which cannot be taken at all.

The auctioneer was in a predicament, he didn't dare to bid on the nursery, because he didn't coordinate with the auction house, and if the nurse bid, it wouldn't work out, and he would have to buy the thing, where would he have so much money.

"Let the nurse do it, don't be afraid, as long as it doesn't reach 10 million pounds, you won't be held responsible. Stein's voice came through the headphones.

The auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the nursery in the audience, this was originally an authentic Chinese, but he only worked in London for a year, and obtained British citizenship under the efforts of the auction house, and his main responsibility was to play his own childcare duties.

Of course, externally, he is a very accomplished collector, so he bids, and others will not doubt it.

But today, even if the auctioneer kept signaling him, he was indifferent, what kind of joke, bidding at this time, his identity was exposed all of a sudden, how to mix in the nursery industry in the future, if he can't do this, then he will definitely be swept away by the auction house in the future, let alone life, it is estimated that he will not even have to eat.

"What, the nursery rebelled today?" Stein was directly dumbfounded, what is this, does it mean that even the nursery has been bribed?

"Hey, auctioneer, you're standing on the stage like a fool, it's been almost twenty minutes, don't you know how to hammer a hammer? ”

The people in the audience began to protest, because everyone could see that the auctioneer was discussing things with others through guò headphones, although he was well disguised, but after all, he was standing on the stage, even if he covered it up, unless everyone else was blind, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to escape the eyes of everyone.

"yes, isn't the auction going to go ahead?"

Even some Westerners are not happy, they still want to bid for those Western artworks, what is the matter with always being stuck here?

"This ...... This, this is Tang Bohu's masterpiece, is there really no one willing to bid again?"

"What do you think?" He Chong, who was sitting behind Zhang Tianyuan, was not angry.

"Okay, Brother He, just let him ask, let's not worry. ”

Zhang Tianyuan's words were obviously mockery, the auctioneer was now in a dilemma, the nursery was useless, and at this time he had to bargain, but his boss did not allow him to hammer, now he really didn't know what to do, his brain was like a mess, and it was so messy.

Even if he was ridiculed, he didn't dare to shout the price, anyway, if the auction was messed up, this was the boss's order, he couldn't help it, he had a principle now, if the boss didn't agree, he would definitely not knock the hammer.

But in this situation, he felt that his boss probably had nothing to do, and the buyers were connected together, which was a very troublesome thing for any auction.

Generally speaking, such a situation is basically unlikely, just like the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, many people can betray their allies for the sake of interests, and even unilaterally tear up the alliance.

In the auction hall, most people are enemies of each other, don't look at the relationship on weekdays, talk and laugh, but once it comes to such an occasion, the situation is completely different. Because of the tense atmosphere, coupled with the fact that everyone wants good things, you compete for me, and you completely forget the rules you set before.

Therefore, the tandem is terrible, but it is not easy to achieve, because as long as one person does not follow the rules, then the so-called tandem will collapse in an instant.

But today's situation is a bit special, these people are obviously looking at Zhang Tianyuan's horse, but Zhang Tianyuan bought there alone, and others will not be hot-headed because of competition, which is the main reason for the success of the series.

But the auctioneer didn't know that he wanted to rely on the nursery to break down the sturdy Great Wall, but the problem was that even the nurse was not willing to help.

Nursery children are generally kept secret, and once the identity is revealed, it is meaningless, so these nurseries on the scene know best in their hearts, what to do and what not to do, they are all clear.

Although they also want to help the auction house, the problem is that now is not the time, if they want to do that now, they will dig a pit for themselves and jump into it, even if they help the auction house this time, then if they encounter such a thing in the future, they will be useless, and they will only be kicked out by the auction house.

"I said Mr. Zhang, let's just don't auction it internally later, this Tang Bohu's painting, as well as the white porcelain incense burner before, are all good, you can keep it yourself, I believe everyone will agree." ”

He Chong sat behind Zhang Tianyuan, so as long as he was lying on his stomach, he could chat with Zhang Tianyuan, seeing this situation, he really praised Zhang Tianyuan's wonderful strategy, so he planned to let Zhang Tianyuan get more benefits, in this way, when they meet in the future, they can be regarded as favors.

"Don't, or don't, although I really want these two things, but what I said before, I can't change it, I'll still have an internal auction later, if you don't want it, I'll put it away again." "This time, Zhang Tianyuan didn't plan to participate in the auction, which can be regarded as a small sacrifice made for the future of this collection alliance.

Just when the two of them were discussing what to do next, suddenly the door of the auction house was kicked open, and then a group of masked robbers came in from outside, these people were all strong and strong, wearing the kind of mask on their heads that only exist in TV dramas, with a fierce look, and a gun in their hands, Zhang Tianyuan didn't know what kind of gun it was, and he was not an expert in this area.

In an instant, the screams spread throughout the auction house, and one of the robbers shot a shuttle at the ceiling with a gun, as if to tell the people present that it was a real thing, not a joke.

Zhang Tianyuan has seen and used guns, but when he saw this scene, he was still a little shocked, after all, in China, the probability of this kind of thing happening is very low, but in Western countries, there are quite a lot of such things, I didn't expect him to encounter it.

"What's the situation?" He Chong asked.

"Phoenix, protect your sister Mengmeng, don't worry about me. Zhang Tianyuan looked at the kidnappers who rushed in and came directly to his side, he felt that this matter was not so simple.

"Don't worry, Brother Tianyuan. ”

"Zhanfei, let your brothers act, the time has come for you to make meritorious contributions. Although Zhang Tianyuan was also a little nervous, he had already made arrangements, so he was not afraid of anything, but he felt a little unbelievable that these people would come straight to him as soon as they came in.

It stands to reason that he should have no grudges against these people, unless someone from the Brotherhood auction house deliberately pretended to be a terrorist to cause trouble.

"We are members of the IS jihadist organization, all listen, this place has been accused by us, if you want to live, don't shout, sit there obediently!" (To be continued......)
