Chapter 12 Avoiding the Inevitable (Seeking to Read, Asking for Tickets, Seeking Collection)

A few seconds later, Zhang Hao, who was sitting on the sofa, clearly saw that a wonderful expression suddenly appeared on the auctioneer's face.

I saw that the auctioneer called an assistant, whispered a few words to him, as if confirming something, and then raised his head, nodded to everyone in the audience, and said in a subdued tone:

"Ladies and gentlemen, half a minute ago we received a new offer from an online buyer for the "Thousand Character Text" copybook, and her offer was 165 million yuan! So, allow me to take an extra 10 minutes of your time to continue with the auction of the copybooks. ”

The bidders sitting at the scene gave applause one after another.

Although I can't afford such a sky-high price of calligraphy, it is worth the trip to be able to watch the two bigwigs fight in the air on the spot!

Some media people, while busy recording with their cameras, took the time to tap on the keyboards on their mobile phones and tablets to record some important texts.

A notebook worth 165 million is worthy of the treatment of enjoying a whole piece of news exclusively!

At this time, Qin Lao also showed a wry smile of relief.

Even if he insisted on another round of bidding just now, he would not be able to compete financially with this half-killed mysterious buyer.

That being the case, he has nothing to regret.

The mysterious buyer who appeared at the end of the auction also made Zhang Hao feel a sense of surprise.

If it weren't for the look of surprise on Bai Zhou's face, he would even wonder if this online buyer was arranged by the auction house.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the private room, and Wang Xu and Wang Sicheng walked into the private room together.

Wang Xu said happily: "Mr. Zhang, the situation is good!" ”

Wang Sicheng bowed and said, "Congratulations!" ”

"Two, rejoicing, rejoicing." Zhang Hao adjusted his mood and said with a smile, "The current price is only one step away from our ideal price!" ”

"Yes, the current price of your calligraphy is already the highest in this auction!" Wang Xu said with a smile, "I think there will be relevant reports on the Internet as soon as tonight!" ”

Subsequently, he said to Zhang Hao sincerely: "Mr. Zhang, the calligraphy you provided not only saved the reputation of our auction house, but also improved the popularity of our bank, I sincerely thank you!" ”

Zhang Hao said modestly: "Mr. Wang, we are mutually beneficial. ”

The auctioneer's voice came from the TV again: "Everyone, we have received a new offer from our telephone buyer, 168 million!" ”

"This buyer's price increase has become smaller, and I'm afraid it's almost the limit." Wang Sicheng said: "But Mr. Zhang, if you can make a deal at this price, it will be quite auspicious!" ”

Zhang Hao joked: "Yes, but from the perspective of the auction house, I should still hope that the bidding can continue, right?" ”

Wang Xu smiled: "Haha, I agree with your statement. ”

"Mr. Wang, rest assured, even if the final transaction price does not exceed 170 million, I am willing to pay you a 2% performance bonus." Zhang Hao said, "168 million, isn't it 170 million if rounded?" ”

Su Xu Auction House has always been very attentive to his hospitality.

The auctioneer's performance today was also spectacular, and he was always stirring up the emotions of the bidders when the bidding was not going well.

Therefore, Zhang Hao is willing to pay this bonus.

Hearing this, Wang Sicheng hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your generosity!" ”

Bai Zhou also stood up and thanked Zhang Hao.

Wang Xu also looked at Zhang Hao with admiration, thinking that he could bring the other party into the small circle of auction house members in the future.

In his opinion, with Zhang Hao's personality, he will definitely be able to get along well with other members.

Zhang Hao said: "Don't be so polite, this is what you deserve, let's watch the auction first." ”

As it happens, the auctioneer received another offer from an online buyer:

"175 million, from our online buyers!"

The offer was clearly beyond the psychological price of the phone buyer, and he decisively withdrew from the auction.

After the auctioneer finally questioned all the bidders, he finally struck the hammer, which symbolized the closing of the deal.

Wang Xu immediately applauded Zhang Hao and said, "Mr. Zhang, 175 million, congratulations!" ”

Wang Sicheng walked to the door of the private room, knocked on the door gently, and then the auction house employees pushing champagne carts and holding flowers walked into the private room.

Bai Zhou took the flowers from his colleague and handed them to Zhang Hao: "Mr. Zhang, congratulations!" ”

Zhang Hao took the words and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you." ”

Receiving flowers from a beautiful woman was also a novel experience for him.

Wang Sicheng pointed to the champagne cart and proposed, "Mr. Zhang, shall we open champagne?" ”

"Okay."

Zhang Hao put down the flowers, walked to the champagne cart, took a bottle of high-end champagne that he couldn't name from the staff, and immediately uncorked the bottle with the help of the other party.

Under the gaze of everyone, Zhang Hao poured the wine bottle and poured the wine into the champagne tower reported in advance.

Watching the orange liquor gradually poured into each champagne glass, listening to the applause and joy of everyone in Su Xu's company, Zhang Hao actually had a magical feeling of drunkenness.

Perhaps, this is the wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk.

He took the lead in lifting the champagne at the spire without a teacher, and Wang Xu and others also stepped forward one after another and took their respective wine glasses from the champagne tower.

Wang Sicheng said loudly: "To Mr. Zhang! ”

Everyone said in unison: "To Mr. Zhang!" ”

'To myself! ’

Zhang Hao said silently in his heart, and then drank the wine in the cup.

Amazingly, this champagne does not have the slightest astringency in the mouth, but is full of sweetness.

So, he asked curiously, "Which champagne is this?" ”

"This is Boehringer Champagne in 1999, which is relatively niche in China." "However, I personally like this brand of champagne because it adds less sugar than other wineries during the brewing process, so it doesn't feel sweet and greasy." I still have some stock of this champagne, so you can bring a few bottles back with you! ”

After hearing this, Zhang Hao, who was holding a champagne glass, was stunned for a moment.

Immediately, he smiled and shook his head, "Thank you, I think I still don't want to take people's love." ”

"Mr. Zhang is really a humble gentleman!" Wang Xu laughed and said, "Don't worry, I also prepared a lot of Bohringer champagne at the dinner, and we can drink it happily!" ”

...

"Mr. Zhang, the mysterious online buyer is very happy, she has paid a deposit of 30% of the total price of the copybook, and the balance will be paid to our account within half a month."

At the scene of the dinner, Wang Xu said with a smile while accompanying Zhang Hao to visit.

Around the two of them, there were bidders who recognized Wang Xu's identity and nodded to him, and by the way, they also cast friendly glances at Zhang Hao.

The young man who can be personally received by Wang Xu is obviously extraordinary!

Although I don't know each other, it's a good thing to be able to get married!

So, while wandering around the dinner site, Zhang Hao kept nodding in response to the kindness released by people.

Until, he noticed a pair of dog men and women, sitting sweetly and greasy on chairs, drinking glasses of red wine.

These two are Yang Yan and his female companion.

Zhang Hao didn't expect that the two who left the auction venue early would turn back to attend the dinner.

He was about to turn around and implement the policy of not startling the snake to the end, but he met Yang Yan's eyes unexpectedly.

Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, Zhang Hao pulled out a smile of unknown meaning at the corner of his mouth, and raised the wine glass in his hand slightly.

Now that he has met head-on, he doesn't have to suppress his emotions anymore.

Yang Yan's face was instantly filled with panic and surprise.

It looked like a ghost.
