Chapter 210: Bidding
"Fifty thousand Oren once. ”
"Fifty-five thousand!"
"Mr. 119 bid fifty-five thousand. Fifty-five thousand times..."
"Sixty thousand!"
......
In the blink of an eye, the price of the auction has soared to a level that ordinary people have never been able to achieve in a lifetime.
Staring at the auctioneer on the stage, Eric could see the ecstasy in his eyes. And the huge picture frame next to him is the most dazzling presence in the entire hall.
"Island of Dreams".
An island, surrounded by clouds and mist – the composition is simple. Judging from the appearance alone, it is impossible to see the value of this paper framed in a precious wooden frame.
These three words Medellín are enough to turn any mediocrity into magic.
But I'm afraid that Eric is the only one in the audience who knows the true value of these paintings. The historical journey he experienced in the library still lingers in his memory.
The secrets of the world are hidden in the Dream series.
Eric, of course, wanted to know the secret, too. And now, it will be Rowan's financial resources that will send him to touch the truth.
"Two hundred thousand Oren!"
The hall suddenly fell silent because of the price increase.
People then began to look at the inconspicuous-looking young man.
Eric forced his composure, but still inevitably glanced at Rowan. Although he knew that this money was a piece of cake for Rowan, he had never shouted such a large amount from his mouth, so he would inevitably be a little nervous.
Rowan gave him a look to reassure.
Some attentive guys noticed this little action and began to guess what the relationship between the young man in front of him and the big businessman Rowan was.
It seems that this young man's confidence comes from Rowan. In other words, Rowan wanted to take a picture of the dream series of paintings in front of him.
In Pelos, there is no one who does not know Rowan. But the guy who can behave so intimately with Rowan, I'm afraid he can count it on one hand.
Could it be that he is Rowan's illegitimate son?
"Two hundred thousand Oren once. ”
Bode's voice brought everyone's thoughts back to the auction from speculating about Eric's identity.
To be honest, 200,000 is not an unbearable price for the rich people present. But they thought that since the young lad had Rowan's support, he would naturally bid again later. And in terms of funds, none of them can beat Rowan's self-confidence.
In fact, even a buyer with considerable financial strength has to give him face when he sees the Pyros giant next to Eric.
The stagnation of the outcry was also expected by Eric. He has enough reason to believe that "Dream Island" is nine out of ten.
"Two hundred thousand Oren twice. ”
Bode's voice rang out again.
However, just when Eric thought that the competitor would not be there again.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand Oren!"
Hearing this, Bode seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time, his eyes showed joy. Now, his paintings can be bought at a higher price.
Eric frowned slightly, looking at the source of the voice like everyone else in the room.
Appearing there were a couple of men and women dressed in black clothes and black skirts. It was the man who had just bidd.
It is worth mentioning that the shorter woman stood with the tall man next to her, and she didn't feel like a bird. Rather, her temperament is even more forceful, making people feel that the man is like her subordinate.
Curious.
The crowd longed to see their identity from those two faces. Unfortunately, they wore jackal and fox masks, and their faces were unrecognizable.
It's not surprising that many people who don't have the convenience of showing their true faces often use this method to participate in crowded events.
Although their identities are unknown, these two must not be from Pyros, because Pylos does not dare to challenge the giant merchant Rowan with his financial resources.
But this bid is just a small episode in the eyes of most people. They had no doubt that the painting would eventually belong to the young man.
Eric didn't wait for a voice to be heard, and continued to bid upwards.
"Three hundred thousand Oren. ”
The move of raising 100,000 Oren at once caused everyone present to shout in a low voice. They lamented that with Rowan as the backing, it was refreshing to shoot.
Eric knew that this amount of money was a drop in the bucket for Rowan, and it wouldn't hurt him at all, so he naturally let go of his mouth and shouted.
The wolf-faced man who had just bid hesitated slightly, but after a moment he still shouted, "Three hundred and fifty thousand Oren." ”
Looks like he's going to compete with Eric today.
However, he is clearly not an opponent in terms of financial resources. Each time, only five thousand more than Eric's asking price was added, which was the lowest price increase in the auction.
Everyone also despised this way of raising prices.
"Half a million Oren. ”
This time, Eric hit back straight and was about to crush his opponent in one fell swoop.
The increase reached 200,000 at a time.
This is also telling the other party that he will rise more next time and persuading the other party to quit.
The wolf-faced man stood on the spot, unable to open his mouth for a long time. Apparently he was intimidated by the momentum. Apparently he was well aware that the young people not far away were bound to win today's auction. At this point, he needed to thank the mask on his face for making him look far less flustered.
The people present were not in the mood to participate in the game at all, they were just glad to have come here today to see a good show.
It seems that today "Dream Island" will be sold to this young man for half a million Oren.
The rich people definitely came up with 500,000 Oren. But no matter how much you pay, Rowan will definitely pay a higher price if he wants that thing. And that would be a bottomless pit for sucking money.
In Pelos, no one can compete with Rowan for money.
"Five hundred thousand Oren once. ”
Bode seemed reluctant to say this, because he expected the price of the painting to be even higher.
"Half a million Oron twice. ”
As if in response to poor Bo's anticipation, the fox-faced woman leaned over the man's ear and whispered a few words, which made him finally make up his mind.
"Five hundred thousand Oren three times, into ......"
"A million Oren!"
At the moment when the small hammer in Bode's hand was about to be smashed, the wolf-faced man shouted.
The audience was in an uproar.
It seems that the wolf-faced man really wanted this work in Medellín. But willing to pay a million Oren for a painting, he's crazy!
However, in their eyes, this kind of behavior means nothing but to show courage.
However, Eric saw Rowan's frowning brow and realized that things seemed to be out of his control. He didn't want to speculate: a million Oren happened to be the bottom line for Rowin to bid for himself.
At this time, everyone found that the young man who was still imposing just now was dumbfounded, and he didn't bid for it for a long time.
They looked at Eric.
Eric looked at Rowan and stopped talking.
Rowan looked back at Eric and said lightly, "Thank you for your understanding, my friend." Indeed, I'm done with that. I'd love to continue to help you. But my money doesn't just belong to me, it belongs to Pelos. I'm sorry. ”
"You don't have to apologize, Rowan. In terms of our short-lived friendship, you've done your best. You are not obligated to help me any more. ”
After saying that, Eric still sighed unconsciously.
"A million Oren, once!"
At this time, Bode has already blossomed, and he is the biggest winner no matter what the result is today. Now his whole body seems to be glowing.
"One million fifteen thousand Oren. ”
Eric interrupted.
Seeing that the young man finally opened his mouth, everyone sighed and said that the auction would continue. It's just that this young man is the same as the two of them just now. You're not kidding, you're kidding, you're backed by Rowan, you're so stingy!
So, the disdainful gaze that was still aimed at the wolf-faced man just now turned to Eric.
Eric didn't care. Little did he know that his meagre savings would support him to bid a few times.
