Chapter 434. coterie

In the world of collecting, there is often an unwritten rule that good things do not have to be put up for public auction, but rather form a small circle and bid on their own within the circle. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

Why?

First, it eliminates high auction fees. For a collection of hundreds of millions of dollars, after the auction price is bid, the company in charge of the auction can get about 10% of the fee.

Second, a fixed circle can be formed, so that some shady collections can also be sold.

Thirdly, the bidders can trade directly on the spot, saving a lot of procedures, which is undoubtedly a good thing for those sellers who are in urgent need of cash.

This time, the thirteen pieces of the collection that the Chen family withdrew from auction were all planned to be auctioned by Mrs. Chen after research. Only those companies and individuals with strength and ability can enter this circle. And the location of the auction is the mountain villa cultivated by the old lady of the Chen family.

It is rumored that Mrs. Chen is not in good health, to be precise, she is seriously ill, so she has been willing not to see anyone in the early stage, and people have also talked about it, speculating whether this old lady is really seriously ill, but when the small circle auction is about to start, Old Mrs. Chen appeared.

Old Mrs. Chen was in a wheelchair, in good spirits, and she looked like she was seriously ill.

Some people who were suspicious and wanted to come over to find out the news were surprised to see this. They had received the news that the old man had had suffered a stroke, his limbs were stiff, and his mouth and eyes were crooked, but now he ...... Looking at the old lady with a spring breeze on his face, they were surprised, how could this be?

The old lady sat in a wheelchair, and under the impetus of his grandson Chen Tianlang, came to the front of the stage, and then took the wet wipes handed over by Ah Ping, the next person, wiped his hands, picked up the teacup and said: "Don't stand still, please make tea---! ā€

There are not many people at the scene, that is, more than 20 people, in addition to the three major auction houses in Taiwan, that is, Christie's has the most people, in addition to some Taiwanese business tycoons and others, there are men and women, all of them are not ordinary people, but in front of the tiger of Mrs. Chen, he still respectfully agreed, sat down and drank tea.

At this time, Chen Tianlang leaned over and whispered a few words in the old lady's ear, as if reminding him of something, and the old lady Chen hurriedly said, "Oh, I almost forgot." I'm not afraid of the big guys laughing, what kind of background am I, I guess everyone knows that today's business is a hand of money and a hand of goods. So I also need to check how much the big guy is carrying...... Don't worry, I'm very safe here, even if some people want to eat black and smash the field, they have to weigh it. There was a sense of majesty in his tone.

It is also said that the thirteen pieces of the collection sold by Mrs. Chen this time are almost worth more than tens of millions, and it is inevitable that some people will be tempted and want to take risks and make some moths.

However, Mrs. Chen herself eats this line of food, if you really want to play tricks, it is to play a big knife in front of the old man's door --- look for death.

Out of trust in Mrs. Chen, as well as the high level of security here, everyone did not shy away from it, and asked the people around them to take out the cash they were carrying, open it, and let the Chen family see it one by one.

Taiwan dollars, Hong Kong dollars, US dollars, and even mainland renminbi!

It's all about money, and seeing such a scene, people can't help but be staggered, as if it's even a bank vault.

At first glance, there is so much money, almost hundreds of millions, that is to say, at this moment in this room, the money brought by these auctioneers alone is an astronomical amount.

Chen Tianlang took Ah Ping and spot-checked it a few times to see if the money was true or false, and whether it was deliberately raised in it...... I looked very carefully and very seriously.

About five or six minutes later, Chen Tianlang turned around and whispered a few words to the old lady.

Old Lady Chen laughed, "Thank you for your face, it seems that you are all sincere in doing business." After saying this, he said to a slightly chubby man: "Especially this time General Manager Huang of Christie's, it seems that he has brought a lot of cash, what's the matter, are you going to eat all the thirteen collections of my old Chen family in one go?" ā€

That general manager Huang is none other than Huang Kun, who stumbled on New Century Company. Huang Kun is also a person who has seen the world, since the old lady Chen joked with him, he also said with a smile: "Originally, there was that plan, but I was afraid that the old lady would take out an ancestral treasure when you got angry, then the little money we prepared would not be enough for your old man to stuff his teeth!" ā€

Old Lady Chen laughed and said, "There are good things, but it depends on your eyesight." ā€

"Don't worry, this time I brought our company's ace appraiser, Mr. Mike Lee, his appraisal level is absolutely first-class, and I will ask the old lady to give him more guidance." Huang Kun smiled and pushed out a person next to him, but it was a bald man with a bow tie.

The man didn't look good-looking, but he was a well-known super appraiser in Hong Kong, and at this moment, he bowed to Mrs. Chen without humility or arrogance, the meaning was obvious, and it seemed that there was really some real material.

Taiwan's three major auction companies Dingquan, TOP and Bijiabo, this time also sent good hands to bid, at this moment saw that Mrs. Chen seemed to be particularly polite to this Hong Kong company, I felt unhappy in my heart, and urged together: "Old man, everything that should be said has been said, it's not too early to go, do you see if this auction has started?" ā€

"yes, we're anxious to see your treasures!"

"What an eye-opener for us!"

……

"Don't worry, don't worry. I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Besides, this man hasn't arrived yet. Old Lady Chen said with a smile.

People around you, you look at me, I look at you, according to the invitation letter, it's almost just these people, who hasn't come yet?

Just when everyone was confused, a crisp voice said, "I'm sorry, we're late!" ā€

As he spoke, he saw four people walking in from outside, one of whom was a man and a woman, who were obviously the leaders, striding forward, followed by two retinues.

Seeing the woman, Huang Kunhuang, the general manager of Christie's, couldn't help but be surprised: "Why is she?" ā€

Seeing the man, Mike Lee, the appraiser beside Huang Kun, was also surprised: "Why is he?" ā€

Needless to say, this man and woman are, of course, Lin Yi and Haitang.

As the main opponent of New Century Company, Huang Kun certainly knows Haitang, the eldest lady of the Hai family, and knows more clearly that this eldest lady acts boldly and resolutely. Knowing that she is not easy to deal with, he will play tricks behind his back and ask the Chen family to remove New Century from the bidding list. But apparently, people are involved again, what's going on?

As an appraiser, Mike Lee can say that to Lin Yi, it is really "I know you when you turn to ashes". In the field of identification, Mike Lee has always been proud of his skills, but he was deflated in front of Lin Yi two years ago. Although Mike Lee is also the kind of person who gambles and loses, he is still a little unconvinced in his heart.

Now, when Mike Lee returns to Christie's from the new century, he is diligent in practicing his internal skills and supplementing his appraisal knowledge, hoping to meet Lin Yi again one day.

It's a pity that Lin Yi, as the honorary consultant of New Century Company, did not come out in the auction very much, so that Mike Lee wanted to re-compete with him but could not get it. But now, I can't imagine that the two will meet again on such an occasion.

Huang Kun knew Haitang, but he didn't know Lin Yat very well, because Lin Yi had only been in Hong Kong for a while. However, Huang Kun still knew from the gossip that this Lin Yi seemed to be Haitang's boyfriend and the best son-in-law recognized by Hai Baichuan. However, in Huang Kun's opinion, a mainland boy is just a teenager, how much energy can he have. Therefore, he is very contemptuous of Lin Yi.

Huang Kun's nickname is Christie's Old Fox, he is scheming, and he knows that people in the new century can appear, so he must have dredged up the relationship with the Chen family, and there is no need for him to ask what happened.

On the contrary, Huang Kun even took the initiative to step forward with a look of surprise and said to Begonia: "Oops, isn't this Begonia?" I thought you wouldn't be able to come to the film, but I didn't expect you to come, which really makes me overjoyed! That look was inexplicably excited, like a kind elder caring for the juniors.
