Tolia was indeed ruthless.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Even if it is send.

It is impossible for Li Jinglin to return empty-handed today!

Moreover, even if it is given away for nothing.

You don't necessarily lose money.

As long as this matter is stirred, in the follow-up auction, those premiums will not only pay off, but even make a lot of money.

There's no reason not to do it.

These are estimated to be worth more than 10 million US dollars

It's all a premium.

What is a premium?

It is at auction that the highest price is expected to exceed the limit of 10 million US dollars.

Even for Tarisio.

It's also a wave of bloodletting.

Tolya's decision, Li Jinglin did not know.

Li Jinglin did underestimate the weight of his name in the hearts of these people.

At this time, Brother Lin was still entangled in his own small money.

I hope to be able to shoot a good piano with 3 million US dollars.

"Lee?! Lee is there too? ”

"I'll go, this auction is amazing!"

"I've got an idea!"

Over time.

More and more people are entering the auction.

In addition to some wealthy people, there is no shortage of famous violinists.

It's just that the musicians who were able to occupy the C position in the past.

Today, it's all a foil.

To describe this scene in Japanese Chinese terms, it is "the king of the violin world who is welcoming them".

"Hello Mr. Li, this is my business card."

"It's better to see than to hear, Mr. Li, you have more temperament than I imagined."

Many people came to Li Jinglin's side and said hello to Li Jinglin.

Exchanging business cards, brushing faces, and compliments are simply overflowing, and good words are jumping out.

"Hello, hello."

Li Jinglin stood up and shook hands with these people one by one.

The business card is in a trouser pocket.

The nature of the auction seems to have changed slightly.

As long as you have just arrived, you will definitely be stunned first, then experienced, and then come up with a smile to say hello.

"This kind of thing, we usually call it an audience."

Luo Shiyao smacked her lips.

From the very beginning with the excitement of having honor.

It's gradually starting to get numb.

Family, who knows.

My brother Lin is like a robber, you have to drop a good word when you pass by.

Until all the people involved in the auction have arrived.

It was only then that it quieted down a bit.

It's just that countless pairs of eyes are still focused on Li Jinglin's body.

"Come on, baby, Le Fremont Hatcher Grand Cru is dry, I'm just bored."

"Okay, dear Ah Lin,!"

Although the two wine Mengzi held goblets and drank wine.

But inexplicably, it is full of a feeling of Ha Laoxue.

The wines at the auction are all high-end.

This was even deliberately taken out of the collection cabinet because of Li Jinglin.

As for the bottle of dry white that Li Jinglin and Luo Shiyao drank, it was the wine that Tolia had auctioned for 200,000 US dollars from another auction, and on average, a bottle was probably at least nearly 10,000 US dollars.

It is not wine that drinks, it is Mani.

But it has to be said.

High quality + the temptation of Mani, this wine is indeed on the top.

"You don't usually drink like that."

Henrik also dipped it and tasted it with a smile.

Sweet juice.

As the best French wine Mengzi, when encountering such a good wine, Henrik also turned the sky directly on the spot.

"Alright, the auction begins."

Take two sips to moisturize.

The auction has officially begun.

Tolia is one of the shareholders of the partner.

Today, as an auctioneer, I will preside over this auction in person.

"We are very honored that Mr. Li Jinglin, the first international violin player, can come to our auction."

As soon as the words fell.

Applause rang out.

Everyone's eyes were once again focused on Li Jinglin.

Li Jinglin had to stand up.

Bow to the crowd.

But the applause was even more enthusiastic.

It wasn't until Li Jinglin sat down and Tolia raised his hand slightly that the applause gradually died out.

"I thought it would be an unforgettable auction, so I made the decision to take out our violin at the bottom of the box and auction it at this auction!"

Okay.

Such a quote from Toria.

Immediately let the applause rise again.

Many wealthy people who came to collect violins couldn't help but look at Li Jinglin.

Good guys!

Able to squeeze the bottom of the box out of Toria's hands.

After all, it is impossible for everyone to think of spending money to give other people's pianos, and the vast majority of people will still come with the idea of collecting.

Tolia nodded.

After reaching out and signaling.

A blonde beauty carefully dragged a moving display shelf.

Through the glass, you can see the fine lines of the violin body and the beautiful lacquer surface.

I can feel the vicissitudes of history even more.

Everyone in the audience couldn't help but shrink their pupils and gasp.

I thought about Tolia being big, but I really didn't expect it to be so big!

The first violin that came up this has already reached such a level!

This is indeed the most extravagant violin auction ever!

"First of all, this first violin is a famous violin, with the initials IHS on the label and a trilopetal Greek cross, I don't think I need to introduce its name."

After a brief introduction to the auction rules.

Tolia smiled and got to the point.

Exhibiting a famous piano is to exhibit the fame of your own auction house!

This big deal has indeed calmed many buyers.

"It's Kochanski Guarneri del Gesù!"

"Jesus!"

"The starting price is 8 million US dollars!!"

"Shhh

Li Jinglin was directly dumbfounded.

I didn't expect that.

The starting price of this first violin is already a weight that I can't bear.

"8.2 million US dollars!"

"8.4 million!"

Soon.

The auction bidding began.

Li Jinglin was shocked.

The increase in the auction price is actually not as exaggerated as expressed in some film and television dramas.

Generally, the increase will not exceed 1% or 2% of the starting price.

Of course, according to the rules of the auction house, it is different.

This time, the price increase shall not be less than 100,000 US dollars, but not more than 200,000 US dollars.

However, when the price of this qin went all the way to 9.4 million US dollars, there were still no other bids, and all of them were going up according to the highest price increase of 200,000 US dollars.

From the perspective of the auction world, this can be regarded as a very explosive existence.

"The 14th guest bid 11.6 million US dollars, is there anything higher?!"

"11.6 million dollars once!"

"11.6 million US dollars twice!"

"11.6 million US dollars three times!"

"Deal! Congratulations to guest 14! ”

Tolia was also excited.

This piano, when it was originally appraised, was 10 million US dollars.

And because Li Jinglin is here.

At this auction, Tolia also increased slightly.

But I never expected that this value would go directly to 11.6 million US dollars.

It can only be said that it is earned by blood.

With Li Jinglin here, after the auction price rises, the extra money from each piano auction can be completely arranged for Li Jinglin to arrange a top famous piano.

No loss, no loss at all.

It is about equal to the price sharing, and the piano is crowdfunded.

"The next piano is a famous piano that our auction house has worked hard to find a collector through the introduction of the Washington Museum."

Tolia smiled.

It's full of words "Today, I'm going to have a wave of ruthless sales".

"It's Seidel Antonio Stradivari! This comes from the famous piano made by Stradivarius in 1714, Leonardo da Vinci! ”

"This comes from the golden age of violin making, and it's one of the top craftsmanship masterpieces!"

"The starting price, 12 million US dollars!"

Wow!

The rich people in the audience couldn't help but exclaim.

Unexpectedly, this auction house directly made such a ruthless product.

To know.

Whether it's the Jesus before it, or this Leonardo da Vinci.

In any auction, it is entirely possible to be the finale.

But now, two handfuls were released in a row.

Or the first two!

Everyone doesn't know if there will be other hard work behind this auction.

Even if there are indeed hundreds of billions of dollars in the field.

But I was still amazed.

It's not a question of money or not, it's a question of channels, connections, and resources.

"12.2 million!"

"12.4 million!"

The bidding of the auction began in full.

Li Jinglin is stupid.

Good guys!

Originally, I was going to pick up leftovers to make a similar one.

As a result, you tell me that you don't auction this non-famous piano?!

At this price, Li Jinglin couldn't even think of it.

"13.6 million!"

The outcry continues.

Li Jinglin watched as the fraction of the 1,000 exceeded his budget.

It's still super, it's still super!

"15.8 million!"

"15.8 million once."

"16 million!!"

This price can only be said to be soaring all the way.

In the end, the price was fixed at 16.4 million US dollars.

"It's shocking."

Li Jinglin is still nervous.

Dead stretch.

Hold is hold up, but shock is still shock.

Soon.

This third violin is also up for auction.

It was rumored that it should have been the bottom of the box in this auction.

The Stradivari piano made by Antonio Stradivari was bought by Lady Blunt, the daughter of Lord Byron, and was named "Ms. Blunt".

Li Jinglin is numb.

The starting price reached $12.4 million.

After fierce bidding.

It has reached 16 million US dollars.

It's even going up!

It's really more expensive than the other.

"17.2 million US dollars once!"

"$17.2 million twice!"

"17.2 million US dollars three times!"

"Deal!"

"Congratulations to guest No. 6!"

Henrik clapped his hands excitedly.

I don't know, I even think he took this violin.

"Lee! Did you see that? ”

"Oh my God!"

"Jesus, Leonardo da Vinci, Ms. Blunt I can't imagine what is at the bottom of the box this time."

In Henrik's agitation.

Li Jinglin has calmed down.

Buddha is up.

Laughing to death.

That's it, I can't afford it at all.

Let's just watch the coin feast.

And when the inner Buddha system came down, Li Jinglin suddenly felt that the world had become wonderful again.

Soon.

The auction continues.

The price is also constantly breaking records.

18 million US dollars, 19 million US dollars.

Anyway, this number looks really confusing.

The plutocrats laughed crookedly.

This is simply a high-profile violin version of Double 11.

It's time to sweep the goods.

Finally.

The last ruthless goods, the finale of this auction, the famous piano appeared.

"Let me introduce you"

Toria's expression suddenly became sacred.

Take a deep breath.

This solemn demeanor made the voices of the audience disappear, and the venue became extremely quiet.

"This is the famous piano that my father bought with great difficulty from the Ashmorem Museum in Oxford five years ago."

"This is a famous piano made in 1716 by Maestro Antonio Stradivari."

"This legendary instrument, which has survived a long period of time, is one of the best-preserved violins, one might even say almost perfect, and it is unbelievable that it is so new that it is so new."

on the booth.

The violin's pristine wood and smooth fretboard exude an admirable beauty.

"The famous collector of Milan, the Count of Sarabuai, bought it from Stradivari's youngest son in 1775."

"At the beginning of the 19th century, the Italian musical instrument merchant Tasilio, who was also the uncle of the founder of our auction house, bought it from the Count of Salabuai, but as it changed hands along the way, this incredibly new violin found its way into the Ashmorem Museum in Oxford."

"In the end, it was re-purchased by our auction house."

Tolia was embarrassed.

This legendary piano carries a heavy history.

It has also aroused the excitement and joy of countless people.

"That's how Tasilio wrote to collector Charles Broughton."

"It's a perfect, brand-new Stradivari violin, something I could never have imagined and never seen before, and in Italy it's called Le Messie—the Messiah."

"Yes! This violin is Stradivari – the Savior! ”

Wow!

There were bursts of exclamations from the audience.

"It's this violin!"

"Messiah, Messiah?!"

"It's a bloody investment!"

"Oh my God, when Tasilio said he got this violin, a lot of French people thought he was bragging! I really didn't expect that this violin would really be auctioned at the Tasilio auction! ”

The buyers in the audience couldn't help but start talking to the people around them.

This piano is very famous!

As the best preserved instrument, it has been quite legendary from the very beginning.

"Starting Price"

"16 million US dollars!!"

"Oh! Thank! ”

"Nest!"

As soon as this price was announced, there were bursts of exclamations.

The asking price is not exaggerated.

However, the average transaction price of other famous pianos is just the starting price of this piano.

It still made the people at the scene feel the gold content of this "bottom of the box"!

"Now, the auction begins!"

With Tolia's announcement.

The rich people in the audience couldn't sit still at all.

In the peak 20 years, the piano was made by a famous artist.

And, to this day, it has been preserved to this day.

Three hundred years of maintenance, but still brand new, this is quite explosive in the entire musical instrument industry!

The most important thing is the name that this piano carries.

Messiah!

Savior!

This price can't be stopped at all, and it is crazy to climb up!

"18.4 million US dollars!"

“.”

"19.8 million!"

"20 million!"

Li Jinglin looked at this asking price, and directly thought about it.

Laughing to death, I can't afford it at all.
