Chapter 676: Private Auction (Final)

……

"800,000 euros!"

"820,000 euros!"

After all, the celebrity effect of Louis XIV, the "Sun King" Louis XIV is still very marketable, but Liu Dong's interest in this pigeon's blood ruby is not too great, excluding the factors of Louis XIV, Liu Dong's collection, there are more than a dozen rubies that are better than this pigeon's blood ruby.

Looking at Mei Xue, who was looking at the beautiful ruby on the screen and looked infatuated, Liu Dong quietly leaned into her ear and whispered: "If you want, I'll give you one that is more beautiful than it later!"

A woman's love for jewelry is innate, and Mei Xue is naturally no exception, but in the face of Liu Dong's warm words, she shook her head gently while being sweet in her heart, "Don't do it, it's so expensive!"

"It's okay, I can afford it!"

Saying that, Liu Dong took the initiative to hold Mei Xue's slender hand in the palm of his hand, and the other party just twitched a few times with a blushing face, and then his eyebrows and eyes ←turned ↖ white for a while, and then let him hold it.

Seeing the two young people kissing me and me, Eskenazi, who was sitting next to him, shook his head secretly, "Young, it's really enviable!"

……

Time passed, and the necklace given to the queen by Louis XIV was finally bought by a middle-aged white man for 1.12 million.

And the third lot soon appeared on the big screen of the projector, this time not one, but a whole 12 pieces!

"Huanghuali furniture from the Ming Dynasty of Oriental China. Including chairs, stools, cabinets, tables, desks, etc. a set of 12 pieces. The reserve price is 2.8 million euros. Each increase must not be less than 50,000 euros, now please bid if you are interested!"

The auctioneer's words fell, and the buyers, who had long been optimistic about this set of furniture, had raised the price of this set of furniture to a high price of 3.6 million in less than a minute.

Liu Dong is also very enthusiastic about this set of 12 pieces of furniture made of Huanghuali in the Ming Dynasty, and the collection of classical furniture has always been a weak point in his collection, and this time it was also in the collection of the Van Gaal family that he finally acquired a batch.

However, he also knew that it would not be easy to win this set of furniture today, because the contenders were not only from his compatriots. Even most of the white European buyers present were bidding fiercely.

"These Chinese furniture made in the 17th and 18th centuries are very complex in terms of production, but they are simple and noble, unlike European furniture, which is very bulky and complicated. …… Liu, I'm not going to give in this time!" Eskenazi said.

Despite a wry smile in his heart, Liu Dong nodded, although Eskenazi kept his promise. Will give in at the last step, but if his own price can't weigh down others. Then this promise is a piece of waste paper.

"It seems that the rumored old man's love for Chinese classical furniture is not groundless!" Liu Dong said secretly in his heart after noticing the slightly excited smile on Eskenazi's face.

"Since everyone is interested, let's speak with strength!"

Although the 30 million euros in his hand is not much, it is enough to buy a few good things!

"Mr. 18, the bid is 4.2 million euros, is there anything higher?"

After Liu Dong put down the bidding board, the auctioneer's eyes involuntarily looked at Ichiro Tanaka next to him, after seeing the first scene of the competition between the two, how much he hoped that the two could compete again, and then the auction price of this set of furniture would inevitably rise, and he would be able to get more commissions from it.

Not only the auctioneers, but even many buyers who have seen the competition between the two turned their heads to look.

Facing everyone's eyes, the young Tanaka Ichiro was naturally reluctant to give in, but before he could raise his card, he was stopped by Kenji Tanaka, who was scheming next to him.

"Don't be impulsive, don't forget what we're participating in the auction for!" Kenji Tanaka said with a calm expression.

Although he didn't mind making some trouble for Liu Dong, the other party's rapid retreat in the first game left a deep impression on Kenji Tanaka, and if he was pit by the other party again this time, it would not be a matter of spending hundreds of thousands of euros more!

"This Chinese is really difficult to deal with!" Kenji Tanaka said secretly in his heart after glancing at Liu Dong, who was talking to Mei Xue in the distance.

"4.2 million euros at a time, is there anything higher?" Although Ichiro Tanaka did not join the ranks of the competition as he wished, 4.2 million euros, 30 million Huaxia yuan, compared to this set of Huanghuali furniture at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the price is not low.

"Old man......!"

Facing Liu Dong's eyes, Eskenazi naturally understood what he meant, but he didn't expect Ichiro Tanaka to come out to stir up the situation, "Okay, I keep my promise and won't bid again!"

"Thank you for success!" Liu Dongxi said.

As a collector who has just started in the industry, he knows very well that a rich person who likes to collect will never care about the market price when he encounters his favorite collection, as long as the price of the item is not beyond his ability, then he will never take the initiative to give up.

If it weren't for Eskenazi's promise to Liu Dong at the beginning, I believe that this set of 12 pieces of Ming Dynasty Huanghuali furniture would never have cost more than 4.2 million euros.

"4.2 million euros for the third time, congratulations to Mr. 18 for taking this precious set of Chinese Ming Dynasty Huanghuali furniture!"

As the auctioneer dropped the hammer for the third time, Liu Dong's heart that had been hanging was also relaxed, and while he was relieved, he also applauded!

"Now look at the fourth lot, a set of nine 'Netsuke' from 12th century Japan, with a reserve price of 300,000 euros, and no less than 20,000 euros each time the price increase, now please bid!"

"It's interesting this time!" Liu Dong said in his heart.

The "Nezuke" is 2 to 5 centimeters long, and it is a folk craft with delicate and beautiful carvings that are used to hang ornaments on the straps of kimonos.

Japan's "Netoke". In the era when kimonos were commonly worn, there must have been five or six of them. When the Japanese take off their kimonos and change into Western clothes, "Nesuke" becomes useless.

Foreigners appreciate its beauty and buy it as a souvenir. As a result, even in Japanese art museums, "Nesuke" is rare. The largest "Gentoke Exhibition" is in the United States.

This time, in the face of nine pieces of the twelfth century Nefuki, with the narrow mind and strength of the Japanese, they knew that they would definitely buy it back without thinking about it, but Liu Dong, who suffered a loss last time, could not let Ichiro Tanaka and them easily get their wish.

Therefore, seeing that the other party had increased the price to 580,000 euros and no one made any more bids, Liu Dong decisively shouted: "600,000 euros!"

"Huh!"

As soon as Liu Dong's voice fell, the eyes around him had already looked at him, and then almost all of them had a look in their eyes.

The play meat is coming!

"This damn bastard!"

Ichiro Tanaka gritted his teeth and stared at Liu Dong, who had just put down the bidding sign, if he could, he would have the heart to kill the other party.

Even Kenji Tanaka next to him had a gloomy expression, but in the face of the cultural relics lost by his motherland, of course he hoped to be able to buy them back.

"700,000 euros!" said Ichiro Tanaka.

"720,000 euros!" Liu Dong followed.

"800,000 euros!"

"820,000 euros!"

Liu Dong doesn't raise the price much every time, and it is clear that he is here to stir up the situation.

"1 million euros!"

As soon as the words fell, Van Gaal's eyes suddenly shifted to Liu Dong, and now he was extremely sure that this young Chinese must be a messenger sent by God to deliver the gospel to him, otherwise how to explain that since he met the other party, his luck has changed so much at once, not only earned hundreds of millions of euros from the other party, but also repeatedly appeared at high prices at auctions because of the relationship between the other party.

It's just that in the face of Van Gaal's longing eyes, Liu Dong said indifferently: "1 million euros is a bit beyond my ability, I give up, congratulations to Mr. Tanaka for taking these nine pieces of root payment with 1 million euros!"

When he said 1 million euros, Liu Dong accentuated his tone, almost didn't make Ichiro Tanaka half angry, but he bought these nine pieces of Genfu at twice the price.

Although with his value, spending an extra 500,000 euros is nothing, but the grievances and depression in his heart are enough to make people crazy.

"Damn, damn it, damn it, that pig, you'd better not fall into my hands, or I'll make your life worse than dead!" Ichiro Tanaka roared madly in his heart.

"Ichiro, take control of your affection, if you can't even afford this little thing, how will you inherit the Tanaka family in the future!" Tanaka Kenji frowned and reprimanded.

Hearing this, Ichiro Tanaka took a deep breath, and his expression gradually calmed down, "I know, uncle!"

Having said that, looking at Ichiro Tanaka's slightly trembling body, you can guess that his heart is not as calm as he seems.

Seeing this, Kenji Tanaka didn't say more, after all, he was also young, and he knew that young people's impulsiveness and frizziness would not disappear without training.

"It's just that he is really calm and steady, aside from grievances, the other party is really a talented young man, and Ichiro is too different from him!" After glancing at Liu Dong not far away, Kenji Tanaka said secretly in his heart.

The fifth lot is 3 pieces of porcelain from the Daoguang period of the Qing Dynasty, which are sold at a low price of only 50,000 euros, and each increase must not be less than 1,000 euros.

Although this fifth lot is good, but compared with the previous few lots, it really can't be compared, the value is instantly a lot lower, and Liu Dong, who has eaten hundreds of pieces of Daoguang official kiln porcelain from the Van Gaal family collection, has little interest in these three auction items, so there was no bid from beginning to end, and finally these three Daoguang official kilns fell into the hands of a middle-aged man in a black suit at a price of 80,000 euros, it seems that the other party should be Chinese or overseas Chinese, because the other party looked at Liu Dong with a little friendliness in his eyes.
