Chapter 336: Auction (2)
At ten o'clock in the morning, the largest auction of this year finally began, of course, the staff of the auction hall on the first floor spoke some scenes, and everyone was drowsy. After a lot of nonsense, I heard him announce the official start of the auction.
As soon as the auction participants heard the start, they immediately came to their senses and looked nervously at the auctioneer standing on the auction table in the center of the hall. The auctioneer is generous, funny, very good at mobilizing the atmosphere of the audience, it is not the first time to want to preside over the auction, it is not strange to think about it, this auction is the largest this year, and the auctioneer is naturally an auctioneer of international level.
The first auction was the sheep's head among the 12 zodiac animal heads in the Old Summer Palace. The bronze statue of the head of the zodiac animal is the nozzle of the "hydraulic clock" in the fountain outside the Haiyan Hall of the original Old Summer Palace, and it is the red bronze statue of the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The full name of the "hydraulic clock" is "Zodiac Time Telling Fountain". The bronze statue of the head of the 12 zodiac animals is in the shape of "eight", which is arranged on the stone platform of the human body on both sides of the fountain. Each animal is a fountain mechanism, and every hour, the corresponding animal sprays water from its mouth for two hours.
In 1860, the YF coalition invaded China and burned the Old Summer Palace, and the bronze statue of the head of the beast began to be lost overseas, and now only a small number can be recovered. (Fictitious, the head of the sheep is still missing)
The appearance of the sheep's head caused a sensation. The sheep's head can be described as a national treasure and a symbol of the lost cultural relics of the Old Summer Palace.
When the children of China saw the head of the sheep, they were very sad and indignant. The auction was very intense, with the sheep head starting at $5 million, and the starting price each time was $1 million.
Soon, the head of the sheep was lifted to fifteen million dollars. This is much higher than the previous price of the tiger's head, the monkey's head, and the pig's head.
Seeing that no one was shouting, the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, and Wu Lai lazily shouted: "Two million dollars." ”
The auctioneer was overjoyed, someone directly shouted 20 million dollars, and he began to shout excitedly, "20 million dollars for the first time." "Two million dollars for the second time. "Twenty million ......"
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly came from another private room: "Two million dollars." ”
Wu Lai was furious, and his divine sense swept over, and found that the person in the private room was speaking bird language, which seemed to be F language.
"Damn F Guokee, it seems that they put it up for auction, not to mention robbing our national treasure, but even as a trust, when I Wu Lai is so bullying!" Wu Lai wrote down their breath.
"Two million dollars, plus a Chinese dollar coin. Wu Lai said again.
The audience was in an uproar.
"This, how can this be, this is not in order!" the auctioneer exclaimed.
"If not, let it be left to the auctioneer who paid $21 million. Wu Lai said indifferently.
Now those F country guys panicked, the original price of 21 million US dollars is already sky-high, if they let them buy it by themselves, not only will they not get the money, but they will also have to pay a certain handling fee. That fee is also quite high because the auction price is so high.
Country F immediately asked the organizer to notify the organizer to agree to the price. Otherwise, the auctioneer will make a final decision, and they will not have time to cry.
The staff muttered in the auctioneer's ear for a while, and the auctioneer said: "Although the 21 million US dollars, plus a Chinese one-yuan coin, are not very in line with the rules, but the auctioneer recognizes this price, and if there is no higher price, if not, it will be sold." ”
After three sounds, the auctioneer's hammer struck down and the deal was sold.
After the transaction, the women asked curiously, "Wu Lai, why do you want to add a Huaxia one-yuan coin?"
Wu Lai said hatefully: "The one who shouted 21 million US dollars just now is Tuo, and the F country guy in the private room is the auctioneer, they robbed our national treasure, and they also sold it to our Huaxia, is it really that we have no one in Huaxia?"
Everyone understood why Wu Lai did this, and they all gritted their teeth.
Chen Jie, who was a little short-tempered, even wanted to teach them a lesson, but was stopped by Han Xue.
Wu Lai comforted: "They can't jump for a few days." Although Wu Lai said this sentence flatly, everyone felt a little cold. offended Wu Lai, there was absolutely no good fruit to eat.
Next, the auctioneer launched pearls, necklaces, jade, bracelets, rings, earrings, gold and silver jewelry, etc., all of which are liked by women.
The auction can be described as well-intentioned, knowing that it is easiest to make a woman's money, so interspersed with the auction of these jewelry. Buyers are willing to be fooled, and jewelry that looks good on the outside and is actually not of much use is being pushed to a very high price.
Song Jia thought it was funny, and also went to shout the price a few times. Song Jian blamed: "Jiajia, don't mess around." ”
Song Jia smiled: "I didn't mess around, I just deliberately raised the price, since they want to buy it so much, I'll help it, it's not a big deal." ”
Wu Lai and the others laughed dumbly.
In an auction, it's normal to have a to. Generally, during the auction, there will be some sellers looking for trust. Raise the price at the time of auction, and if the price is not satisfactory to the seller, even waste a sum of auction money to buy the lot back. What Song Jia did was actually help others raise the price, and the seller should be grateful to her, hehe.
The auction was in full swing, and suddenly a beautiful set of jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, bracelets, rings and hairpins, aroused the interest of the women. The women's eyes suddenly widened, and they couldn't take their eyes off the set of jewelry next to the auctioneer. Wu Lai took a closer look at this set of jewelry, although the material is nothing more than gold, silver and jade, but the workmanship is quite exquisite, even the details are very thoughtful, the match is perfect, it looks natural, even Wu Lai secretly applauded in his heart, it seems that in terms of workmanship, it is definitely a master's handiwork.
Wu Lai directly shouted $600,000. Chen Jie scolded Wu Lai in his heart for being crazy, how could this set of jewelry be worth $600,000? The previous price was less than $400,000. As soon as Wu Lai's words fell, it aroused a burst of exclamations from the audience.
The auctioneer was obviously taken aback and said, "Six hundred thousand!"
"The price of the No. 2 VIP room is 600,000 yuan, is there a higher price?" said the auctioneer loudly. For auctioneers, meeting such customers is the happiest thing for them.
"Is there any offer? No? Okay, 600,000 for the first time...... 600,000 second ...... 600,000 Third ...... Okay, deal. The auctioneer slammed the table with the hammer in his hand. "Congratulations to VIP Room 2 for winning this set of jewelry. ”
