Chapter 179. Get out of hand
At the auction site, the people present are basically rich people, of course, they will not look at the small amount of money in their eyes, what they value is the "luck" and great "eyes like a torch" of the leaker. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Especially as a Hong Kong person, I believe in feng shui and believe in luck, and being able to pick up such a treasure in the antique market is a symbol of luck.
However, soon, everyone stopped asking who this lucky "treasure holder" was for the time being, because this "Wang Duo sent the original manuscript of Tang Ruowang's poem" has begun to officially start auctioning without a reserve price.
The so-called "no-reserve auction", also known as the zero reserve price, does not set a reserve price for the lot, the bidder bids freely, and finally the highest bidder gets the lot.
In fact, for this precious manuscript, the appraisers of the new century have made a unified minimum and maximum estimate. In their opinion, this work has gone through a long time, and what is commendable is the original manuscript of the poem manuscript of Wang Duo, the "magic pen", and the legendary story that has been lost, there is no doubt that these points alone give this lot a good auction hotspot and collection material. Therefore, the lowest estimate is HK$20 million and the highest is HK$30 million.
To be precise, even if no one raises the price to 30 million Hong Kong dollars,
The new century is also preparing to raise the price to this amount with the tray.
To put it more bluntly, in fact, when this treasure was put up for auction, the actual auction price had already come out for Lin Yi, Uncle Chang and others, that is, --- 30 million!
Lin Yi never thought that he would become a "multimillionaire" all of a sudden, but it's a pity that this 30 million water is too big, if you take it seriously, you will be a big fool.
At this time, Lin Yi's mood is very special, and he has the feeling of watching a stage play off the stage, but it is a little different from that feeling, a little nervous, a little excited, after all, there is also a little bit of his own participation.
Hands raised---
Someone raised their hand, and as soon as they opened their mouths, it was "5 million!" ”
Then someone added, "8 million!" ”
The man chased back again, "10 million!" ”
……
Lin Yi was dumbfounded, is this still an auction without a reserve price, why are these Hong Kong people so rich?
Lin Yi has also photographed books on the Internet before, for example, the floor price of a book is 100 yuan, and the price is 10 yuan each time, so everyone adds 10 yuan at a time very regularly, and slowly increases the price, and it is rare to add 2 million or 3 million all at once.
This is not a benign auction, it is bigger than anyone.
In fact, Lin Yi still didn't realize where he was deeply, this is the most well-known auction site in Hong Kong, and even the invitation letter must be qualified to get it, and the people who can come in here to participate in the auction are either rich or expensive, and they are embarrassed to open their mouths if they are worth less than hundreds of millions.
What these people want, how can they add it very politely and politely, of course, it is a lion's roar that does not frighten people to death, and they can hold as many people as they want, and they will pay as much as they want.
For them, they value not only this scroll of poetry, but also the fame.
Many bidders present were not frightened by such a soaring price increase, on the contrary, many people sat firmly on Mount Tai and just didn't make a move, because when they waited for the critical point of the price, that was when they made a move.
Have you ever watched a martial arts movie, the master is always the last to make a move, isn't it?
As the prices continued to soar, the atmosphere of the auction gradually increased, and many people involuntarily loosened their ties, and those female companions calculated how many designer bags and jewelry they could buy with the increasing prices.
"20 million!" After a fat man shouted out the price, he crossed his waist, stood up, and looked at everyone with his eyes open, looking like "I am going to decide this work today".
Lin Yi trembled in his heart, this is 20 million, which means that he has become a "multimillionaire" all of a sudden.
Well, it doesn't feel like much, it's not too exciting.
Lin Yi's hand carrying the shopping handbag tightened even tighter.
……
The fat man who bid 20 million Gu Pan Xiongfei, at that moment, the male hormones exploded, as if he was the only man in the entire auction scene.
At this time, a tall and thin man stood up and shouted arrogantly: "I'll give 25 million!" ”
The crowd shouted to God.
The price was increased by 5 million all of a sudden, this product is ruthless.
The fat man glanced at the tall and thin man with some annoyance, and said in his heart, did this decrepit person take the wrong medicine, and he increased 5 million at once at this price, and I have never seen you so ignorant of the rules when you are in the limelight!
The host began to quote at this moment: "25 million once, 25 million twice, 25 million ......"
As soon as the words fell, I saw someone holding up a sign and saying: "30 million!" ”
It's still that fat man, who once again resumed his arrogant attitude of taking out hormones, hitting the street, you dare to add 5 million, don't I dare!
The fat man and the thin man, the two of them are 5 million straight up and down, and there is inevitably an element of vindictiveness, but what the auction site wants is this kind of effect, what they want is this smell of gunpowder, which is too mild, so it is not interesting.
"God, 30 million seems to be the highest price at today's auction site." Many people couldn't help but mutter.
Lin Yi, who was sitting in the VIP seat, also heard this, but he knew that this was definitely not the highest price.
Looking at Uncle Chang, who helped plan all this, he was even more composed, the price of the new century's childcare has not yet been launched, and the price has been increased to 30 million, and it seems that the situation is going very well.
So, what now?
Now that it has been determined that this painting cannot be auctioned off, all that dear Mr. "Williams" has to do is to continue to increase the price, more than 30 million, and become the final big winner, well, as long as no one adds to it, the matter will be done.
Uncle Chang was very satisfied, and it seemed that everything was really going well.
Raising the card, Mr. Williams, the noble lord of the British Empire, finally made a move, "31 million!" ”
No more, no less, add 1 million, it's not so eye-catching, maybe it can attract people to participate in the auction again and make things more real.
Sure enough, someone over there raised his hand and said, "32 million!" ”
Obviously, the touching story and charm of this authentic Wang Duo poem manuscript made many bigwig-level participants can't help but shoot.
Mr. Williams raised his card again and lazily quoted: "33 million!" ”
"Is it time to end? Well, God, I didn't expect it to end so easily. He thought.
That's when ---
"40 million!" A voice said softly.
With a bang, everyone at the scene looked over, and Lin Yi also looked over---
Who is it, it suddenly increased the price to 40 million!
I saw that the person who spoke was a gray-haired old man, sitting inconspicuously in the ordinary seat, and at this moment he was in the spotlight, but he did not fluctuate at all, and still sat in his place.
Williams didn't react at once, and at this time the host had already shouted "40 million once, 40 million twice, 40 million ......" Williams hurriedly raised his card, and his responsibility now is not to raise the price, but to grasp the price so that no one can rob him.
"41 million!" He shouted.
Whew, I finally didn't miss it.
"50 million!"
"What?!"
Williams' mind went blank again, oh my god, this is too out of the box!
How can there be a price increase of 10 million all of a sudden, which still prevents others from participating in the auction?
Williams had no idea in his heart, he hadn't discussed this kind of issue before planning, he couldn't help but look at the seat of Hai Baichuan, there was no one.
How so, people?
I had to look at Uncle Chang's position again.
Fortunately, Uncle Chang was still there, but his expression seemed to be shocked, so he couldn't give Williams a hint in time.
Anyway, Williams was very dedicated to quoting again, "51 million!" ”
Alright, God, this time it will be done.
Just as Williams was praying to God, the white-haired old man spoke again--- "60 million!" ”
Bang on the ground!
Everyone was stunned.
For the planners such as Williams and Uncle Chang, the situation of this auction seems to have gotten out of control. (To be continued.) )
