How could this happen? No wonder they don't bid!

Li Yi couldn't help but read the news again, how similar is this Nima to the story of "Shencuixuan Map"! He didn't believe that this kind of thing could happen one after another, and it was just in time for him to catch up...... Could it be that the spirit card is playing tricks?

"It's okay, since this matter is suspected of fraud, most of the auction qualifications of this lot will be cancelled, so you don't have to worry about spending 30 million to buy a fake thing......"

The middle-aged man who handed him the mobile phone saw Li Yi's disbelief, and thought that he was worried that the auction company would forcibly sell things to him under the pretext that the hammer had been dropped, so he kindly persuaded him. Several other people around him who knew that he had won the bid also spoke comfortingly, and a middle-aged man in his forties also gave him a business card.

"The contemptible person is a lawyer, if you really have any dispute with Sotheby's, sir, I am willing to fight this lawsuit for you for free!"

Glancing at a few enthusiastic people who didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, Li Yi couldn't cry or laugh for a while, where is this Nima, Lao Tzu is worried that they won't sell it to me, okay?

In fact, there was chaos in the hall at this time, and the reason for the chaos was not because the cup was fake, but because of the auctioneer's actions.

Before, when everyone in the audience received the news, the auctioneer on the stage was obviously unaware. But then he not only interrupted his attempt to inflate the auction price, but also quickly repeated the offer three times and finally dropped the hammer, apparently on instructions from Sotheby's!

Although it is not uncommon for imitations to be auctioned at auctions, although Sotheby's did not endorse this white jade cup, this qiē is Wang Song singing a one-man show, although according to the process, there is no problem for the auctioneer to do this, but we are just uncomfortable!

"Sotheby's must be asked to explain, did they collude with Wang Song!"

"That's right, if this matter is not resolved, we will withdraw from the auction!"

"Yes. Not only will you withdraw from this spring auction, but you will also boycott future auctions! ”

Quit...... Boycott......

Well, Li Yi glanced at the people who were almost all fighting for him, and sighed helplessly. You're all good people, but please don't make trouble, okay? You know, the more trouble you make, the more reason I have to buy this real treasure in the end!

But. Now that even Sotheby's can't do anything about this situation, what can he do? In desperation, he smiled reluctantly and returned the phone to the man next to him,

"I'm just an agent, I'm ......"

The man patted him sympathetically on the shoulder,

"It's okay, didn't you see that the whole audience was upset for you? Don't worry, we can all testify to you, and you are also a victim in this matter. Your boss won't blame you. ”

Seeing that things were getting more and more out of control, the auctioneer finally spoke,

"Please be quiet, quiet! For this emergency, Sotheby's will hold a special press conference before the evening auction, and will definitely give you a satisfactory answer! Please rest assured that the No. 203 customer who won this lot will handle this matter impartially, and I will announce a 10-minute break......

At this moment, a young man pushed open the door of the auction hall. glanced at the chaotic venue, and hurriedly ran towards Li Yi.

"Sir, I'm an employee of Sotheby's, do you have time. We hope to be able to discuss this with you right away. ”

Li Yi nodded, stood up and walked behind the young man towards the outside of the field, and everyone in the field who had been paying attention to this side almost guessed what was going on, and the commotion was almost over, so it gradually quieted down.

After all, most of the people who come to the auction have their own favorite lots. If this spring auction really can't go ahead, both sides will lose in the end. Moreover, after such a fuss, the lot behind may not be auctioned, so when will it be cheaper?

As for whether that person just now will suffer a loss, and how much he will suffer, to be honest, they can already give him face if they can make such a fuss.

Li Yi followed the young man to Sotheby's, and as soon as he pushed open the wooden door of the VIP reception room, he saw two foreigners, one of whom was an old acquaintance, Liu Xibo.

"Hello Li, when I knew that you had taken this lot, I knew that things were going to be easy...... Come, let me introduce you to the auctioneer, Mr. William, a gentleman from London. ”

William was about sixty years old, with thin cheeks and meticulous silver hair, and after seeing Li Yi, he politely said hello, and the three of them sat down separately.

"Okay, let's look at how things should be resolved. First of all, I would like to state that Sotheby's has a clear conscience in this matter, and we did not do anything in it. Secondly, whether this transaction is valid, I have a Jianyì, Li, maybe after you listen to the origin of this white jade cup, you will think that 30 million is a big bargain. ”

Li Yi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, smiled at William, and was willing to sell it......

"Mr. William's ancestors participated in the Opium War more than 100 years ago, and this white jade cup is the treasure of the Old Summer Palace that he brought back from China......"

introduced the origin of the white jade cup, Liu Xibo looked at Li Yi with a smile,

"Lee, if you approve of this deal, I think I have one more gift for you, which is our Sotheby's commission, and I can give you all of it. Of course, if you feel cheated, then it doesn't matter, I will announce at the press conference that the transaction is not valid and will not cause you any losses. ”

Li Yi smiled in his heart, he didn't expect that after such twists and turns, not only did he get the cup at a low price, but he even saved the transaction commission! What kind of luck is this?

But happy in his heart, happy in his heart, he still looked embarrassed on his face,

"I also photographed this thing for a friend...... Otherwise, I'll call him and ask him? ”

Liu Xibo made a gesture of please, and after Li Yi left the room, he leaned over to William's side,

"Mr. William, please rest assured, as long as you say that the treasure was taken out of the Old Summer Palace, these Chinese people will definitely buy it......"

Li Yi held up the phone in the other room and muttered a few words to himself, turned around and went back to the VIP reception room, and stretched out his right hand to the two foreigners with anticipation on their faces,

"Deal!"

Next, Liu Xibo discussed the content of the evening press conference with Li Yi and William. After sending William away, Liu Xibo thanked him again, and he told Li Yi that he could also help Li Yi save something, that is, the 30 million payment could be paid directly from the auction proceeds of his "Prosperous Lotus Wind", but he needed to sign an authorization, Li Yi heard that he could still save so much trouble, of course, he immediately agreed.

After coming out of Sotheby's, Li Yi looked at the time, and now he should still have time to participate in the auction of the pigeon's blood ruby rough when he goes back, but after the incident just now, if he doesn't want to attract more attention from everyone, let alone this one, it is best not to participate in the auction in the next two days.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly remembered something, so he called Ouyang Chun,

"Tomorrow weekend, do you have time?"

"Boss Li called, if you don't have time, you have to have time, what's the matter, what do you want me to do for you?"

"It's nothing, follow me to a place, a friend entrusted me to buy something for him, I'm afraid it's not safe to go alone."

After Ouyang Chun said that there was no problem at all, Li Yi returned to the hotel and called Zhong Haoqing, first talking about the auction of "Lotus Wind in the Prosperous Age", and then talking about the premium of the lot that Wang Jing and they were concerned about yesterday, and gave his own judgment.

Zhong Haoqing listened to him silently, and after instructing him to pay attention to safety, he hung up the phone.

At half past six in the evening, Li Yi saw a live broadcast of Sotheby's press conference on the Internet, in which he was described as the agent of a wealthy mainland tycoon, and he, Sotheby's, including the owner and collector of the goods, were all innocent, and the whole matter was pushed to Wang Song, who was still in custody and trial.

When Liu Xibo showed a series of documents signed by the three parties, confirming that the buyer and seller had reached an agreement, and after the transaction was established, there was no big aftermath of this matter.

Turning off the computer, Li Yi was about to practice calligraphy, when he suddenly received a call from Zhong Haoqing.

"Xiaoyi, did you shoot the cup?"

Li Yi's head pondered quickly, he didn't tell Zhong Haoqing about this matter before because he felt that it was not easy to explain it clearly, but now that the master took the initiative to ask, the situation was different, but what should I say?

"You don't have to think about how to explain it to me, I just want to remind you that you try not to be affected by external factors when you do things in the future, and you have to rely on your own judgment! Think about it, since Wang Song has done it so many times, is it possible that it is impermeable? Since everyone knows what kind of person he is, not only did they not expose him, but they also praised him so highly, what was it for? ”

For what? Damn, of course, to deceive those rich collectors who don't know the truth!

In an instant, Li Yi understood the cause and effect of the matter, this white jade cup may be a big hole dug for which rich man!

But now it's okay, the pit has been leveled by the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and things have also fallen into the hands of an irrelevant person like him, but the most bizarre thing is that this white jade cup is really Lu Zigang's work......

What should I say about this? What can be said? Make a fortune with a muffled voice! Let the friend behind him who doesn't have zài carry the black pot!

Hanging up the phone, Li Yi looked up to the sky and laughed three times, let you do everything, you can't use the magical spirit identification card, and in the end you can only cheapen him for nothing!

It's just that after Mao has the spirit card, this kind of weird and bizarre thing, it is endless? (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please visit wènhttp://mnet
