Chapter Seventy-Five: Romani Conti
"Guest No. 696, bid 387,000!"
"Guest No. 364, bid 390,000!"
"Ladies and gentlemen, the 50-year-old Nikwei Karuizawa is definitely a treasure that can not be encountered for a long time, and the price is extremely high, oh, the No. 297 guest, bid 394,000!"
……
The price of this 1963 bottle of Nikwei Karuizawa is still rising.
Offstage, Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's novel face, he smiled, and handed the auction number plate in his hand to the other party.
"What for?"
Wen Muxue saw Tang Yuan's actions like this, and there was a slight puzzled look in her eyes.
"You come and ask for a bid, help me take a picture of this bottle of wine."
Tang Yuan pointed to the auction table and said indifferently.
"Huh?"
"I'll shoot it?"
Wen Muxue was stunned for a moment, and then waved her hand again and again: "No, no, no, I have never participated in the auction, so you should come by yourself." ”
"Shoot once, don't you have experience?" Tang Yuan stuffed the bidding number plate directly into Wen Muxue's hand, and at the same time smiled and comforted: "With me by your side, what are you afraid of, hurry up and raise the price to offer, and wait for the auctioneer to drop the hammer." ”
While the two were talking, the price of the bottle of 1963 Nikway Karuizawa rose by 23,000 again, breaking through the 400,000 mark, with a total value of 417,000 Hong Kong dollars.
In the face of Tang Yuan's encouragement and urging, Wen Muxue took a deep breath, the whole person looked nervous and excited, her straight waist was like a small poplar, her shoulder and neck lines were extremely smooth, and her serious appearance revealed a hint of cuteness.
I saw her left hand clenched into a fist, her right hand slowly raised the bidding number plate, and shouted with a little lack of confidence: "418,000!" ”
In the World Famous Wine Treasure Sale, the minimum price increase for all lots is 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, so Wen Muxue's first offer is to make a minimum price increase on the price just now.
"Guest No. 566, bid 418,000!"
Although Wen Muxue was a little lacking in confidence, her voice was keenly captured by the auctioneer on the stage, and then the auctioneer repeated it aloud.
The first offer was successful, this wonderful feeling made Wen Muxue feel very novel, and then she turned her head to look at Tang Yuan, and asked cautiously: "Senior, will we continue to increase the price?" ”
"Go on." Tang Yuan bowed slightly, and said with a smile: "I didn't shout to stop, you just continue to shout up, and the price increase is between 1,000 Hong Kong dollars and 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, and you can set it yourself according to the situation." ”
"Okay."
Wen Muxue obediently responded, then turned her head and turned her eyes back to the auction table, where she raised her hand again to bid in the face of the new offers of other competitors.
"Guest No. 398, bid 420,000!"
"Guest No. 566, bid 421,000!"
……
"Guest No. 1691, bid 448,000!"
"Guest No. 566, bid 449,000!"
……
"Guest No. 3404, bid 482,000!"
"Guest No. 566, bid 483,000!"
……
In the next few minutes, every time the auction was deadlocked, Wen Muxue would raise her slender lotus arm and raise the bidding number plate in her hand, and each time the price was increased by no more than 1,000 Hong Kong dollars.
After several quotations, Wen Muxue gradually became familiar with the process, and the whole person changed from the initial nervousness and crampedness to the current calmness.
"Bang!"
"Congratulations to guest No. 566 for successfully taking Lot 46!"
With the auctioneer's hammer falling, the bottle of 1963 Nikway Karuizawa was successfully auctioned by Wen Muxue for 483,000 Hong Kong dollars.
"Hoo ......"
Wen Muxue saw the auctioneer drop the hammer, and the whole person immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
"How?"
"How does it feel?"
Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's face that was a little red because of nervousness and excitement, handed the other party a bottle of unopened mineral water in his hand, and asked with a smile.
"It's kind of exciting!"
Wen Muxue unscrewed the mineral water and took a sip, and responded in a low voice.
"Shall we proceed then?"
Tang Yuan pointed to the auction table in front of him and raised his eyebrows.
After Lot 46 was successfully auctioned, Lot 47 was presented seamlessly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, let's move on to Lot 47!"
"Château Romanée Conti Selection Set 1997 Vintage 16 bottles 750ml, including 4 Wines of Romanée Conti Grand Cru 1997, 4 Wines of Romanée Conti Grand Cru 1997, 4 Wines of Domaine Romanée Conti Grand Cru 1997, 4 Wines of Winery Grande of Richmond 1997, 4 wines of Grand Cru of Romanée Conti Grand Cru 1997."
"The starting price is HK$1,000,000!"
The auctioneer's impassioned voice sounded again, and I saw 16 bottles of Romanée Conti red wines delicately packaged in wooden materials, slowly pushed onto the auction table by several Sotheby's staff, and under the illumination of many lights, the bright red color looked thrilling.
Starting price –
HK$1,000,000!
When Wen Muxue heard this, her breathing suddenly stagnated.
"Senior, what do you mean ......?"
"This set of Romanée Conti wines, do you want to continue shooting?"
Wen Muxueying's lips opened slightly, and the whole person was a little confused.
"Understood." Tang Yuan smiled: "You will still bid for this auction, it is still the old rule, if I don't stop shouting, you will continue to bid." ”
"Senior, what are you doing with so much wine......
Wen Muxue's eyes revealed a little dazed, and she was full of puzzlement about Tang Yuan's behavior of spending a huge amount of money to buy wine.
"Some time ago, I bought a single-family villa in Gubei No. 1, where there is a wine cellar of hundreds of square meters on the basement, and after we go back from the port city, we can move in there. Tang Yuan explained with a smile.
Gubei No. 1?
Detached houses?
Wen Muxue secretly smacked her tongue in her heart, Tang Yuan's unfathomable financial resources were terrifying, as if there was never a limit.
"When you get back from Port City, I'll take you to my house for a visit." Speaking of this, Tang Yuan leaned towards Wen Muxue and whispered: "By the way, test whether the mattress I bought is soft enough~"
When Wen Muxue heard Tang Yuan's last words, her face couldn't help but turn red again.
"Shoot it."
"The red wine produced by Château Romanée Conti Grand Cru is hard currency all over the world, whether it is a gift or a self-drink, it is a very good choice, and it is extremely valuable.
Tang Yuan raised his chin and signaled that Wen Muxue could raise his card to bid.
"Good!"
Wen Muxue responded, then regrouped, regained her fighting spirit again, and began to raise her cards to bid, still increasing the price by 1,000 Hong Kong dollars each time, giving people a feeling that it seemed that it had reached the limit, but in fact there would never be a limit.
The Grand Cru Red Wine Set of Château Romanée Conti almost covers all the Grand Cru wineries of Château Romanée Conti, and such a combination of red wines with high collection value is naturally sought after by everyone, and the price is rising.
Finally, after several rounds of bidding and bidding, Wen Muxue successfully auctioned this group of Romanée Conti Grand Cru red wine sets at a price of 1.896 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price of a single red wine was as high as nearly 120,000 Hong Kong dollars......
