Chapter 526: Is This an Undercover Agent?
Now it is the last lot in the auction half. It is the bull head among the bronze heads of the Chinese zodiac that Lu Ning and the people at the Magic Capital Museum have been waiting for. For a while, Lu Ning sat up slightly.
"Everyone, this is the first time it has appeared in our "Sotheby's" auction. Yes, it is the head of the ox among the 12 zodiac bronze heads in the Yuanmingyuan during the Qing Dynasty more than 200 years ago. A rare treasure, it represents a period of prosperity, and everyone can actively participate in the auction." The auctioneer has been advocating the value of the bronze head and mobilizing the enthusiasm of the scene, but it seems that the effect is not good.
At least the reaction at the scene was very cold. Some people were shaking their heads, and some people were watching. Most of the collectors at the scene were not fools. To put it bluntly, these twelve bronze heads are just decorations in the garden. There are numbers, and now we have to see who is interested in it.
If the response is mediocre, or the auction is unsold, then it means that it has no collection value. If someone or a group is willing to bid for it, then its collection value will skyrocket immediately.
"Okay, everyone, we set a starting price of 200,000 euros for this bull's head. Now, everyone can bid enthusiastically." The auctioneer was eloquent, constantly encouraging everyone's aura.
"210,000 euros." As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, Chen Jie couldn't wait to bid, which not only made everyone in the venue look at him, but even Lu Ning shook his head helplessly. Knowing the common sense of auctions, how can there be such a bid, it is not obvious to tell others that I have a fancy for this thing, and it is bound to win.
Of course, if you have such capital or strength, you can let everyone give you face and let you, that's fine, but the problem is, here, you Chen Jie are nothing. You're just a passerby in your eyes, who cares about you? Just know you can't wait to get this stuff.
If you don't raise the price to death, you will be sorry for yourself if you don't do it all. Even if you don't care about this copper head, you may take the opportunity to raise the price, not to mention the "Sotheby's" who are among the crowd. If you drag it, you will definitely take the opportunity to increase the price, and you don’t have to worry about you not following. Everyone is an old hand, and it is not easy to deal with your tender chicken.
To be honest, as soon as Chen Jie shouted, Sun Lan, the deputy director of the Magic Capital Museum, knew that something bad was going to happen. This kid was rushing to show off in front of Yuxin.
Everyone knows that Chen Jie has a deep love for Yuxin, but it seems that Yuxin is only indulging in the research and protection of cultural relics. I always wanted to show off in front of Yuxin, but no, this auction is a good opportunity for Chen Jie.
That's why Chen Jie raised the number plate in his hand so impatiently, just to show it in front of Yuxin. If everyone knew the truth, he would definitely laugh and his stomach hurts, a little kid who hasn't grown up yet. That's it.
However, this time, he accidentally revealed his desire for the head of the cow. Since this is the case, others will not be polite.
"250,000 euros." A famous French collector also held up the sign.
"300,000 euros." Chen Jie didn't care about this. Sun Lan didn't have time to stop it. He immediately broke out a new price. However, this time, it was a real hammer. .
Looking at their appearance, most people also guessed their identities. Well, this is good. It seems that the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs are still something worth collecting. Therefore, everyone made bids, and at this time, Sun Lan He also snatched the number plate from Chen Jie's hand and glared at him fiercely. However, the young man still doesn't know what he did wrong.
Lu Ning was also a little helpless: "This guy is not a spy sent by the enemy.
"At this time, Lu Ning was still very calm. If he were to compete now, he would definitely raise the price of copper heads further, so Lu Ning chose restraint.
Originally seeing everyone's lack of interest, Lu Ning was secretly happy. It's better that no one shoots. When the filming is about to pass, he will shoot again. At this time, even if others want to increase the price, they have to see if they are offended. from Lu Ning.
What the hell, you didn't make any bids just now. As soon as I called the price, Young Master Lu, you all went up. Do you obviously want to cheat on Young Master Lu? In this case, I'm sorry, my Lu Ning has a bad temper, so basically everyone will take this level into consideration, and will not compete with Lu Ning in the auction of the bull's head.
As for the other two bronze heads after that, it's up to their own abilities, but at least, Lu Ning can take away the cow heads at a very low price.
But now, everything has been ruined by the little white Chen Jie, just because he wants to show off in front of the girl he likes, he has to pay so much more.
Natalie was made to laugh coquettishly by Lu Ning's metaphor. It seemed to be true. This metaphor is very appropriate.
The auction was originally a battle of wits and courage, but this brainless guy sold his own people directly.
At this time, Old Professor Wu also shook his head helplessly. Sun Lan was glaring at this self-asserting guy. Yuxin and Kexin didn't speak, they just glanced at Chen Jie, but there was no Chen Jie in their eyes. The worship originally imagined, how should I put it, is similar to watching the second fool.
And now, the price of the cow head has been fired to 500,000 euros, and it is still rising.
"Xiao Lan, it's not the way to go on like this. Or, let's pay a high price and see if we can scare these people away." Old Professor Wu and Sun Lan suggested.
Sun Lan thought about it too. The price rose little by little. At this time, the bidders couldn't feel the price at all. Only when a price suddenly appeared that shocked them could they wake up.
When the two negotiated, the price had already exceeded the 600,000 euro mark.
"Xiao Lan, you can't wait any longer. Report 800,000 first, otherwise there will be no deterrent effect after a while." Professor Wu Lao's analysis also makes sense. The increase of 100,000 euros and 200,000 euros is still different.
Sun Lan nodded and raised the quotation board in his hand: "800,000 euros." A cold voice spread throughout the audience.
At this moment, just as Old Professor Wu expected, the offer instantly cooled everyone down.
Many people stopped bidding and began to make calculations, especially the several delays arranged by "Sotheby's". Under the eyes of the person in charge, they have stopped bidding. It seems that "Sotheby's" is not interested in this price. Satisfied.
