500 million, for the Wufu painted vase, has reached its own value, in addition to a few large collectors, there are several agents in the non-stop bidding, one of them holding the No. 96 plate. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Zhou Tian glanced at him, he was a middle-aged fat man weighing more than two hundred pounds, judging from his appearance alone, he looked like a local tyrant, and Zhou Tian didn't know where Director Xu found it.
"595 million".
"600 million".
Broken six, Wufu painted vase actually broke 600 million, you know, for several years, the domestic art auction market has not broken six.
Zhou Yan began to be ecstatic, and some of the retro staff who couldn't wait had even begun to celebrate in advance, celebrating that their retro auction house had entered the ranks of the first-class auction companies in China in one fell swoop.
This news has been spread by a few well-intentioned people and quickly circulated in the circle.
What the?
Is it possible that the total amount of this auction of retro will exceed a billion?
The price of a single lot exceeds 600 million?
"Lao Xu, have you heard about today's retro auction?" the boss of an auction house called a more familiar boss of his own.
"I heard that their auction this time was very successful, with a total amount of more than one billion, and the unit price of that vase exceeded 600 million." There was a strong jealousy in Lao Xu's tone, their Falling Moon Auction House was established earlier than the retro auction house, and their fame was also greater than that of the retro auction house.
All along, they have been thinking about the development of the Falling Moon Auction House, and want to make it a first-class auction house in the country one day sooner.
To this end, they mobilized various connections and found many collections, in a vain attempt to show their skills in the next autumn auctions, so as to propelle their auction house into the top ranks in the country.
It's just that now seeing that the retro is one step ahead of them to enter the first-class, it is false to say that they are not jealous.
"Lao Xu, the news you said is outdated, the price of that bottle has now exceeded 700 million, and it is still rising."
"It seems that our retro boss called to congratulate him."
ā¦ā¦
In the venue, interested people were still holding up signs, and one of the agents called his employer and said: "Mr. Cha, now that the price of the vase has made Li Shuo of the Li Group auction 725 million, do you still continue to bid?"
"Count me on giving Li Tianhao a face, give up." This is the art of speaking, obviously because of his own financial resources, he has to find a step down and say something to give Li Tianhao face.
The agent hung up the phone with a disappointed face, and set his eyes on the four people who were still bidding, Li Shuo He knew, the young owner of the Li Group, another bald old man he also knew, Dai Tianlong, the chairman of the Dai Group, was worth more than 20 billion, and was a famous collector in China, and he liked porcelain.
He didn't know the other two people with a No. 96 license plate and a No. 88 plate, they didn't look like rich people, and they shouldn't be agents.
Their bids are very arbitrary, desperate and arbitrary, and agents will not bid so wildly, because the higher the price of the lot, the less commission they will get, and conversely, the more expensive the lot with the least price, they will get a valuable bonus from the employer in addition to the relevant commission.
He guessed correctly, No. 96 and No. 88 were not agents, but their own people arranged by the museum.
How can there be two people of their own.
One of them was arranged by Director Xu, and the other was arranged by Hu Lai.
"730 million".
"735 million".
"745 million".
"750 million".
ā¦ā¦
Outside the market, there are countless people who are paying attention to the price trend of vases.
"Lao Xu, the price is out, the price of that vase is just over 750 million, it seems that it is really possible to break eight."
"Will this price be quoted by the museum agent, anyway, no matter how high the price, they will only give 200 million."
"No, this price is from Mr. Dai."
"If it were Mr. Dai, the price would be right."
When the price of the vase reached 800 million, Li Shuo gave up the bidding, and when it was 900 million, Mr. Dai gave up, not surprisingly, this vase will become a war between the two agents, and sure enough, the No. 88 agent won the vase at a price of one billion.
As soon as the news came out, the entire antique circle was shocked, with a single collection of more than one billion yuan, with a total auction value of 1.3 billion, and the retro auction house also entered the ranks of first-class auction houses.
In the venue, the No. 88 agent held the phone in his hand and excitedly reported to his employer: "Director Hu, take it, I will take the vase for you."
"Well done, complete the handover with the auction as soon as possible and get the vase back."
"Okay, by the way, Director Hu, the thing you promised me"?
"Rest assured, I will never go back on what I promised, and you will soon become the head of the back office."
Agent No. 88 is reporting good news, but agent No. 96 is reporting worries!
"Lao Hu, you called me, did you take down the vase," Director Xu on the other end of the phone said happily.
He should indeed be happy that the matter of the vase has been reported to the relevant leaders, and the leaders have also given a clear signal that as long as this matter is done, he will take another step.
Director Xu's words made agent No. 96 very puzzled, didn't he send a text message to himself to give up the bidding? Why did you let yourself report the good news now, and asked if you had taken the vase?
Agent No. 96, who felt wrong, opened his mouth and asked, "Director Xu, didn't you just ask me to give up the bidding?"
"What? I texted you to drop the bid? Lao Hu, what's going on" A trace of bad feeling appeared in Director Xu's heart?
"Just now, I received a text message from you saying that I want to give up the bid."
A powerless frustration floated from Xu Lai's heart, and the phone in his hand also fell to the ground, and he couldn't get the vase, what did it mean? Meaning he won't go any further.
"Hey, hey, Director Xu, are you still there?" came the voice of agent No. 96 clearly on the phone.
Director Xu picked up the phone: "Lao Hu, I'm still here, do you know who took the vase last?"
"Is it the old Zhang of the logistics office"?
"Okay, I know, come back" Director Xu, who put down the phone, pondered for a moment and called Zhou Tian.
"Director Xu, congratulations on your promotion."
"On Sunday, there was some accident, my people couldn't take the vase, and it was taken away by the people arranged by Hulai."
"How so"?
Director Xu told Hu Lai about using hackers to send text messages to agent No. 96 with his own number, and I have to say that Hu Lai's idea of fishing in troubled waters is really good, but he has a shortcoming.
"Director Xu, I know, you just wait for the ascension, unless Hu Lai can pay a billion."
Zhou Tian's words made Director Xu feel a lot more at ease, and he just waited to watch Hu Lai's jokes obediently!
