Ronton, Christie's.

As one of the world's leading art auction houses, Christie's attracts bidders from all over the world with its high-quality and excellent services.

Rontun is the birthplace of Christie's and holds some of the largest auctions in the world.

Tang Shuo stood in front of the window of the box on the second floor of the auction hall, looking at the auction activities going on in the hall downstairs with interest.

Boom... Boom... Boom......

Hearing the knock on the door, Tang Shuo turned around and nodded to Mason who was standing behind him. Mason then stepped forward and opened the door to the box.

"There's only one piece left, and it's time to start preparing." Miranda walked into the box hallway.

Tang Shuo nodded and said to Mason, "You go and prepare, try to be as easy as possible, it doesn't matter if you mess up." ”

Mason took two deep breaths and replied, "Don't worry! ”

As soon as he had said that, he turned and walked out of the box, looking like a soldier about to give up his righteousness.

Tang Shuo looked at the other party's back, and after Mason walked out, he said to Miranda, who had just entered the door, "Please take a seat." ”

Miranda sat down on the sofa in the box, looked at Tang Shuo and sneered: "You are really hypocritical, you are obviously very nervous in your heart, and it doesn't matter if you tell him to mess up." ”

"It's not that I'm being hypocritical, it's that that's all I can say." Tang Shuo shrugged. He said to Miranda: "And even if he does mess up, I really won't do anything to him." ”

Click... Click... Click......

With the sound of a gavel, the last piece of the collection was brought to the auction table.

The auctioneer, who was standing on the stage, began to explain: "The last piece in the collection is a 1787 Château Lafite wine, as you know. This wine is from the same batch as the one currently on display in the Forbes Collection. ”

Listening to the introduction on the radio in the box, Tang Shuo asked with a smile: "Are you sure that Dragde Lawrence will shoot?" ”

"Of course, how could he be here?"

Miranda nodded and said out loud: "This guy is a person who likes wine very much, and he is afraid that the wine in the cellar at home alone will cost hundreds of millions." ”

"Do you think I'm going to give him a higher price?" Tang Shuo asked with a smile.

Miranda frowned and asked, "What is your purpose in doing this?" ”

"It's fun." Tang Shuo replied.

"......" is carried by the subside.

Miranda shook her head helplessly, as if she was lazy to talk to Tang Shuo, so she simply closed her eyes and leaned directly on the sofa.

Tang Shuo naturally didn't appear here to participate in any auction, in his opinion, it was better to go to sleep if he had time to delay here.

It's just that Miranda didn't know where to hear the news that Todd Lawrence, the current leader of the Lawrence family and Carl's father, would participate in this auction. So I informed him.

Now that they've agreed on a chance encounter between Mason and the other party, they just have to wait until the auction is over.

When Tang Shuo and the two spoke, the auctioneer on the stage also introduced this bottle of wine, which is known as the most expensive wine in the world. "Because we have a precedent, in '85, this bottle fetched us more than $160,000."

"Aside from the one in Forbes' collection, this one will be the last in the world." The middle-aged auctioneer paused, and then introduced with a smile: "According to our negotiation with the collector, the reserve price of this auction is three million US dollars, and each increase shall not be less than 200,000 US dollars. ”

"Bidding is now open!"

"Five million!" A man with a beard in the hall was clearly confident that he would take the bottle, even though he made an offer that was almost double the principal.

$5 million may not sound like much, but considering it's only a bottle of wine, it's a bit scary. If you take it apart and drink it yourself. That's tens of thousands of dollars in one bite.

Where is this drinking, it is clearly drinking money!

The auctioneer was obviously very satisfied with the bearded man's offer, and said with a smile: "Mr. Twelve's bid is five million dollars, is there anything higher?" ”

"Five and a half million."

As soon as the auctioneer's words fell, a new offer sounded in the corner of the hall.

In light of inflation and the increase in the value of the collection, Christie's has already valued the wine.

According to the figures given officially. This bottle of red wine should fetch a high price of 8 to 9 million, so the auctioneer knows that this wine still has the possibility of raising the price.

"Six million."

The bearded man glanced in the direction where the voice had just come from and called out his price again.

At the beginning, he directly shouted five million, on the one hand, he had already determined that the bottle of wine was worth this price, and on the other hand, he also showed his confidence. Although he didn't naively think that he could win five million, he couldn't help but get nervous at this time.

Because he can only get to this price at most!

……

In another private room.

An old man with gray hair and simple clothes said to the middle-aged man next to him: "Shoot, you should be able to get eight million." ”

The middle-aged man nodded, and immediately stepped forward in front of a specially set microphone in the box and said, "Eight million." ”

Almost at the same time, the auctioneer standing on the auction table said, "The price of VIP Room 2 is eight million US dollars, is there anything higher?" ”

As soon as the auctioneer's words were finished, a discussion immediately erupted in the hall.

Upon the auctioneer's questioning again, everyone fell silent. The auctioneer raised the gavel, and was about to knock it down when his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he said: "The price of VIP room No. 4 is 8.5 million US dollars. ”

At this time, the discussion in the hall became a little louder.

Basically, the people who can come to this wine auction have some discernment ability. It is clear to anyone that eight million is actually more than the value of this bottle, and as for eight and a half million, it is purely vindictive.

When the old man, who was already about to get up and leave, heard this offer, his already somewhat unhappy face instantly became gloomy.

He stood in the box and frowned and thought about it, and said loudly: "Add 200,000." ”

……

"Eight million dollars, is there anything higher?" The auctioneer asked excitedly.

Seeing that Tang Shuo was still ready to make an offer, Miranda, who was sitting on the side, instantly lost her breath. "You're still going to shoot?"

"Nine million!"

Tang Shuo finished reporting the price before turning around and said: "Of course I have to shoot, otherwise it will be rumored that Princess Miranda will be frightened by the offer of 200,000 yuan, and I will lose face with it." ”

Miranda's eyebrows furrowed, and she suddenly felt as if she had been fooled.

"Box 2 costs $10 million, is there anything higher?"

The auctioneer's voice rang out again, and his voice began to tremble slightly.

The simple old man in the other box also frowned and looked at the stage at this time, not knowing what to think about in his heart.

"Ten and a half million dollars!"

Shouting out this number seemed to drain the auctioneer's strength, and after he finished speaking, he began to pant again and again.

Although more than 10 million US dollars is a lot, compared to the hundreds of millions of US dollars at Christie's, it is a drop in the bucket, but the point is that the auction is only a bottle of wine!

Even before the auction began, many expected that today's auction would break previous records.

But no one could have guessed that this number would be so outrageous.

"Find out who's bidding."

The simple old man was silent for a while after hearing this number, and after saying this to the middle-aged man, he turned around and walked out of the box.

It's not that he can't come up with tens of millions of dollars, it's just that the number is too high, and he doesn't want to be the wrongdoer.

At the same time.

Miranda said angrily, "Who made you offer such a high price?" ”

This box is recorded in her name, which means that Tang Shuo is now indiscriminately insuring the price, but she is the one who pays the bill.

"Don't get so excited." Tang Shuo said with a smile: "Maybe he will increase the price!" ”

Miranda took two deep breaths and said, "This money is on your head!" ”

Tang Shuo shook his head and corrected, "It should be counted on the head of the Lawrence family." ”

"You did it on purpose?" Miranda asked, frowning.

Seeing Tang Shuo's appearance, Miranda suddenly suspected Tang Shuo's motives.
