"780,000 euros, buyer No. 123 bid 780,000 euros, and there are any friends who bid? If there is no bid, then we have to congratulate buyer 123, knowing that the painting has been professionally assessed by us and is worth more than 1 million euros, and there is no one to bid......"

When the 780,000 euros were called, the auction hall became silent, but Cook was not in a hurry, this phenomenon is very normal, as long as someone bids again, it will be the same as just now, and everyone will make a move. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

If there is really no one to bid, why don't you still sit on your own trust below? So the old god Cook comfortably continued to use words to lure everyone, and he was telling the truth, Lang Shining's work, the lowest appraisal price was 1.2 million euros.

"€800,000 ......"

Finally, after more than a minute of silence in the audience, someone began to bid again, but this time the bidding range was only 20,000 euros, and these buyers in the audience also wanted to buy the painting at the lowest price. I don't know if it's To.

To grab something at the auction, not only to fight wits and courage with the auctioneer, but also to figure out the psychology of the bidding peers under the stage, only when the price is not low or high, slightly more than the psychological price of others, it is possible to use the most suitable price to auction their favorite items.

"Okay, buyer No. 132 bid 800,000 euros, and that friend wants to bid again? Don't miss the opportunity and come again. ”

Hearing that someone raised the price, Cook was overjoyed, this was not used by himself, and there was absolutely no problem in completing the task of the auction.

The auction house gave Cook the task of 1.2 million euros, as long as it exceeds this price, the higher amount, he has a commission, and now Cook is confident that he can sell the painting for a sky-high price of 2 million euros.

Generally speaking, a lot with a price of 1.2 million euros should have a starting price of no less than 500,000 euros, but Cook pushed for a minimum of 100,000 yuan, and he was still under a lot of pressure.

But as things stand, Cook's mind is completely relaxed, and he's managed to take control of the situation, the next question is, how much more can he sell the painting than it was booked?

"I paid 1.2 million euros, which should be fair in terms of the value of this antique itself, and if anyone bids again, I doubt that person is the one arranged by the auction house.

This thing was snatched by Frey in France back then, and the Qing Dynasty could not let us descendants pay for them, I can buy this painting back, but I can no longer be blackmailed by some people with ulterior motives.

I don't think we can let these foreign devils open the door of our country with guns more than a hundred years ago, and now they are using the things they stole at that time to plunder our own wealth! ”

Suddenly, a clear and powerful voice sounded in the auction hall, except for the 1.2 million euros at the time of the quotation, which was spoken in English, the rest of the words were spoken in Chinese, and the loud words echoed in the huge auction hall for a long time.

Everyone understands the truth, but no one has ever said such a thing at the auction site, which shocked all the Chinese in the venue, and they couldn't help but stand up and look in the direction where the sound came from.

The person who stood up and spoke just now was Xi Qing, and at this time, Xi Qing calmly arched his hand to the Quartet, and sat back again, without any expression on his face, without anger or joy.

"Who is this young man?"

"I don't know, I'm so young, I seem to have come with Lisa Noon, go back and ask ......"

"I look at this person a little familiar, as if I have seen ...... somewhere"

"Hey, China is getting bigger, have you seen any of them?"

"People who can afford 1.2 million euros and more than 1,000 RMB should also be a bit of a talent, and I won't ask for this painting......"

"I won't call it anymore, what's the point of robbing your own people and your own people?"

"That's right, it's cheaper for nothing, and I won't call this painting ......"

"What people say is reasonable, why should we rob our own people."

After remembering Xi Qing's words, the venue suddenly became noisy, everyone was expressing their opinions, and many people were inquiring about Xi Qing's origin, but Xi Qing rarely appeared in the auction hall, so no one knew him.

However, although no one knows Xi Qing, it does not mean that they will not judge the correctness of Xi Qing's words, this painting is as Xi Qing said, the maximum value should be about 1.2 million euros, if he raises the price again, it is indeed a favor for the auction house.

Even some people who originally liked this painting and had strong financial resources, after hearing Xi Qing's words, they were embarrassed to increase the price again, and if they raised the price again, they might be pointed at by others.

Of course, some people doubt that Xi Qing's motive for saying this is to make it impossible for others to increase the price, but who didn't think of this method? Now I can only pinch my nose and admit it.

For a while, these Chinese buyers in the venue, without any communication, reached a consensus, that is, no one will continue to shoot this oil painting of "Bust of Chunhui Guifei".

"Gentlemen and ladies, please be quiet, please be quiet, buyer 156 bid 1.2 million euros, do you have any friends to increase the price, repeat, buyer 156 bid 1.2 million euros, do you have any friends to increase the price?"

Standing in front of the auction table, Cook only understood Xi Qing's previous offer, but in the Chinese behind, he didn't understand a word, but Xi Qing's words caused a sensation in the venue, Cook felt a little bad in his heart, he estimated that Xi Qing should not have said anything good just now.

Sure enough, after Cook stopped the discussion in the audience, let what he said, none of the Chinese buyers in the audience were willing to raise the number plate in their hands anymore, and the smile on Cook's face became a little stiff.

"Hurry up and check it, I need the information of the No. 156 buyer, and what he said just now, translate it for me immediately......"

Cook tilted his head slightly, turned his mouth away from the microphone on the auction table, and used the miniature microphone hanging in his ear to communicate with the auction organizing committee.

"Xi Qing, amazing, amazing!"

Wu Lisha, who was sitting next to Xi Qing, didn't expect Xi Qing to suddenly stand up and make such a remark, and she didn't react for two or three minutes, until the venue became quiet, and then she gave a thumbs up to Xi Qing.

After seeing Xi Qing's words, the "white glove" auctioneer on the stage turned extremely ugly, and the Chinese collectors in the audience were in a happy mood.

Just now, I was careless for a while, and I was provoked by the foreign devil to bid for each other, but now that I come back to my senses, I naturally know that I and the others have fallen for the foreign devil's plan, and now I see Cook deflated, and my heart is naturally very comfortable.

"Xi Qing, is this painting worth so much money?"

Tao Xiaoman asked in a whisper next to him, Tao Xiaoman also knew that Xi Qing had been short of money recently, 1.2 million euros, which was more than 12 million RMB.

"Value, up to 2 million euros, all worth ......"

Xi Qing replied in a low voice, although the place where he was sitting was far away from the booth, Xi Qing had already detected the authenticity of this painting, and it was indeed the authentic work of Lang Shining.

Shining's oil paintings, according to the classification of China's cultural relics, can definitely be assessed as second-class protected cultural relics, Xi Qing's museum is now poor and white, and will not let go of these objects.

The state still has strict requirements for the grading of cultural relics, such as Lang Shining's works, which can only be classified into the national second-class protected cultural relics, but its collection and market value are not low.

Not to mention anything else, there are so many museums in China several times, only the Palace Museum has a collection, which can be regarded as relatively rare, but counting this one, Xi Qing already has three or four oil paintings of Lang Shining in his hands, if he can change all the works of Lang Shining in the Guimet Museum, he can open a separate exhibition hall in his museum.

This is also one of the main reasons why Xi Qing made a move, a museum must always have some characteristics, and the works of Qing Dynasty court painters can be used.

Moreover, Lang Shining's oil paintings, although far inferior to Picasso's works, are at most one or two million euros in the international market, but in China, it is normal to auction 20 or 30 million RMB, and if Xi Qing can win it with 1.2 million euros, it will definitely be a sure profit.

"Ahem, how can there be a nationalist ......"

Cook on the stage had already received the translation from the headset at this time, and understood the meaning of Xi Qing's words just now, although Xi Qing offered a price of 1.2 million euros, which still made Cook a little annoyed, after all, this was still a lot different from the auction price he expected.

"1.2 million euros, is there anyone else interested? I can guarantee that this picture of a concubine in the Qing Dynasty of China has a very high collection value, and in another year or two, it will definitely be sold for more than 3 million euros, which is a rare opportunity, and please consider it......"

Cook continued to incite the Chinese collectors in the venue with his incorruptible tongue, as long as someone made another bid, the current deadlock would be broken, and Cook's intention would be achieved.

However, Cook still underestimated the influence of Xi Qing's words, although Chinese like infighting, but the people on this occasion are more identious.

And according to the rules of behavior of the Chinese, after Xi Qing said those words, if he raised the price again, it would be clear that he would not give Xi Qing face.

Although Xi Qing looks relatively young, there is an old Chinese saying called: Rather bully the white beard, don't bully the young and poor, there is no simple person who can enter this occasion, who knows what kind of power there will be behind Xi Qing? Being a man and leaving a line, this is the idea of many old foxes in the field.

"1.2 million euros for the second time, only the last chance, ladies and gentlemen, the opportunity is rare, miss this precious oil painting, I don't know if there is any in the future, please think about it carefully, the opportunity can not be missed......"

After a full three minutes, Cook reluctantly struck the second hammer and made a last-ditch effort to encourage the Chinese buyers present.

It's not that Cook doesn't want his trust to raise the price once, but he doesn't dare, yes, he just doesn't dare!

This is the first time that Lang Shining's work has been auctioned internationally, and the price is between 1 million and 2 million euros, which is the price set by the auction house organizers after many research and evaluation.

And the price given by Xi Qing is just on the bottom line of people's psychological bearing, not high but definitely not low, like a fish bone stuck in everyone's throat, if you can't go up or down, you can't go up or down, and you're afraid that it will be expensive to bid.

Cook is in the same mood now, because he has not negotiated with the owner of the painting before, unlike those lots yesterday, the auction house had an agreement with the owner before the auction started.

But this painting is different, if you let people raise the price and no one follows the price, the auction bank has its own credibility, and you must have to pay for the painting yourself, then the fun will be great.

So Cook hesitated again and again, and in the end he didn't dare to send a secret message to the audience, because the consequences of this incident were something he couldn't afford.

"Gentlemen and ladies, there is one last chance, otherwise this oil painting by Lang Shining will belong to Buyer No. 156......"

"Okay, your painting has been delayed for almost half an hour, hurry up and proceed below......"

As soon as Cook's words fell, he was interrupted by an impatient buyer in the audience, these people are very mature middle-aged people, and since they have made a decision, they will no longer be bewitched by Cook's words.

"Okay, congratulations to the No. 156 buyer, today's first lot, the oil painting of "Bust of Chunhui Guifei" by Qing court painter Lang Shining, belongs to you......"

Hearing the impatient voice below, Cook knew that his efforts were in vain, and the time was too long, he really couldn't drag it out, and in desperation, the auction hammer struck hard, and the first lot of today's special auction fell into the hands of Xi Qing.

It's just that although Cook said congratulations, there was not much smile on his face, he originally planned to attract everyone's attention with the first lot, but now the attention is aroused, that is, the attention is in the wrong direction, and now these Chinese rich people in the venue are more concerned about Xi Qing than the lot itself. He is a little angry now, what is this called, if it weren't for this young man's price being so accurate, and saying those words, he would definitely be able to auction this lot for two million today, but at the moment, it seems that it is tricky, and the things in the back may be a little difficult because of this kid, I hope he just sells this one lot.
