Chapter 717 The Chinese Are Still Rich

"2.6 million! 2.6 million!"

The auctioneer called out the expected figures on both sides one after another, but no one responded. Everyone here is a genius. The rarity of the rose garden can definitely arouse the desire of all women to buy, but considering the actual profit situation, everyone is not willing to pay for it. It pays an exorbitant price, and it’s not that rose essential oil can’t be sold. The big deal is to spend a little more money every year to buy it in the market. $70000 to $8000 is not a problem for rich women who spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After the auctioneer yelled, even if no one answered, his fiery brain calmed down instantly. He realized that he was almost inflated. The 2.5 million pounds had exceeded the actual value of the rose garden, and even doubled. People, don’t be too greedy. There are still a bunch of good things waiting for the auction, so the auctioneer changed the subject, "Miss Emma Watson bid 2.5 million pounds for the first time, and 2.5 million for the second time~"

After a habitual pause, a pair of eagle eyes quickly scanned the audience, and after confirming that no one had any intention of cutting off the card, he dropped the hammer heavily, "2.5 million for the third time~"

"Crack~" the sound of the hammer falling

"deal~"

Applause rang out, sincere congratulations to Emma Watson for this wonderful 'performance'.

Yang Cheng cheered up, and clapped weakly, but his heart was bleeding, "Grandma's a ball ~ 2.5 million pounds, this is more than 3 million US dollars, you can buy as many sports cars as you want. Broken rose?"

He has completely forgotten the memories of the various benefits of rose essential oil in his mind, and his mind is full of scenes of prodigal girls raising signs and bidding prices.

The auctioneer will not stop the auction because of his mood. A piece of priceless items or contractual ownership was put on the display stand, but Yang Cheng didn't listen to it until the last auction before the intermission. Refresh your spirits.

Without him, it was his favorite Ferrari Enzo that appeared on the stage. Of course, the real car was not driven on the stage, but in Sotheby's own parking lot, it was shot by the photographer on the spot and transmitted from the screen. It is not difficult to find that the condition of this 'Red Ritual' is still very new, presumably the original owner is also a car lover.

Soon the screen switched back to the lot introduction page, and the auctioneer continued the process. The starting price was 1 million pounds, and each bid was no less than 100,000 pounds. Originally, if there was no episode of the Rose Garden, Yang Cheng would definitely be able to follow the people at the scene. Deadly crash, but inexplicably spent more than 3 million U.S. dollars, so that Yang Cheng didn't change his mind for a long time, and his interest in this magical car was greatly reduced, even though he knew that the number of surviving cars would be less and less , Buying it back is just waiting for appreciation.

But he just didn't have the strength to raise his placard, and he followed up with several rounds of bidding at the beginning. Seeing that the price soared to 2 million pounds, he voluntarily gave up the auction, anyway, he had to keep his father's car in the future.

That's how he comforted himself.

With the price of this sacred car falling under the hammer at 3.1 million pounds, the auction has entered the intermission stage. The nobles need a cup of coffee to relieve their fatigue. Yang Cheng is no exception. She took Emma Watson to the backstage first. After going through the formalities, signed the check, and transferred the rose garden to Emma Watson, I came to the rest area prepared by the organizer, got a cup of coffee, and dispelled the depression in my body.

Emma flipped through the contract happily, ignoring Yang Cheng's depressed appearance, and Yang Cheng was furious when she saw it.

"Are you happy?" asked sinisterly.

Emma didn't know if she didn't hear the strangeness in her tone, or she just pretended to be stupid, "Happy, thank you dear, this is the best gift I received this year."

Yang Cheng clutched her forehead, lost to this woman, can it be okay? More than 3 million US dollars.

Well, he is also on the Forbes list, isn't it just 3 million US dollars, it's just a drop in the bucket for him,

Earn it back in minutes.

Yang Cheng finally thought about it, and the two chatted casually over coffee for a while, then returned to the venue, and the second half of the auction would begin immediately.

During the period, Yang Cheng also shot several works of art for the decoration of the castle, mostly Western oil paintings or sculptures. After all, it is always a little disharmonious to put landscape paintings of country Z in the castle. This auction is not related to country Z antiques. Except for the finale Qianlong jade seal, there is only one landscape painting by Zhang Daqian, which was taken away by a seemingly extraordinary Chinese.

After the deal was completed, the man looked at Yang Cheng and nodded his thanks.

Yang Cheng really wanted to say, "Master, I didn't even think about taking pictures, okay?"

All in all, all in all, the auction will soon come to an end, Yang Cheng's most anticipated auction is about to appear, so that he is a little restless, judging from the Chinese who just shot the painting, the rich Chinese who are present today will never There are a few of them, and the amount of funds is very generous. If Yang Cheng wants to steal food from the wolves, he may really have to pay a price.

"Next, is the most important guest of today's Sotheby's auction. Let us invite the Shoushan Stone Nine Dragon Cloud Pattern Square Seal from the far east, the status symbol of a generation of overlords!"

Yang Cheng really admired this auctioneer. He talked non-stop for several hours, and he didn't see his mouth dry and listless. On the contrary, at the last moment, he could still make a loud and bright voice. , The profession of speaking is not easy to do.

However, as the display cabinet was pushed onto the stage, Yang Cheng subconsciously sat up straight. Fortunately, the first row was not far from the stage. With his standard eyesight, he could still clearly see the atmosphere of the times and the indelible imprint on the jade seal. The state of dignity.

Yang Cheng couldn't wait to play with Yuxi in his hand, but unfortunately, this wish could not be fulfilled for the time being.

The auctioneer didn't mention Yuxi's introduction. Anyway, it was all based on the book, and he couldn't understand its true meaning at all. Resisting the desire to reprimand the auctioneer for starting quickly, Yang Cheng secretly looked behind him, and found that he and the auctioneer He did the same thing, and there were quite a few people who were leaning forward and ready to move. They sighed inwardly, "I hope the price won't be too high in the end."

Finally, after nearly ten minutes of babbling, the auctioneer took a breath and announced that the starting price would be 2 million pounds. This starting price alone had already broken the previous transaction record for Qianlong jade seals.

However, the expected fight between dragons and tigers did not take place. After the auctioneer announced the start, the scene was eerily quiet, as if no one was willing to bid first.

To be honest, as a Chinese, Yang Cheng's heart is very complicated. There is both the joy of welcoming back the national treasure and the sadness of spending a high price to benefit the robbers. I am afraid that most of the Chinese present think so.

Originally, for the people of country Z, seals are both practical and enjoyable, and they existed as early as the Yin and Shang Dynasties.

The seal was also called the seal at the earliest, and the ancients called it "Xi".

For example, it is recorded in "Xiaoerya": "The seal is called the seal." And Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty's "Declaration" said: "The seal is also the seal." After the country, it was stipulated that the emperor's seal was called "Xi" exclusively, and the subjects could only be called "Yin".

Therefore, no matter how legendary experience is given to Yuxi, it cannot escape the essence of a seal. It is a market rule that celebrity seals have added value, especially the seals that represent the status of a king of a country are worth thousands of gold, but no matter how expensive they are It should be a reasonable number. The price of selling a seal for the land is a bit of a joke. If it spreads out, I am afraid it will cause criticism from a group of keyboard dogs: it is better to spend so much money than to do charity and so on.

They never thought about what else they could do without this method? Send troops to rob? Start a third world war?

Don't talk about it, you have no other choice but to spend money and spend a lot of money to buy it. Either continue to be stupid and let the treasure of a country continue to wander overseas, or you will admit it and spend money to buy peace of mind. In the minds of these overseas wanderers like Orange, the latter is undoubtedly the best solution. The money spent can be earned back, but there is only one thing.

Therefore, when the scene was embarrassing and everyone was stunned there not knowing whether to continue, Yang Cheng made a move, held up the number plate and did not bid, the auctioneer was overjoyed, and quickly stretched out his hand to signal, "Mr. Yang, the chairman of Liverpool Club, bid 2 million, thank you for your generosity, can I see 2.1 million?"

Yang Cheng's bid was like turning on the valve of the faucet. Those who hadn't raised their placards for various reasons before began to show their financial resources. In just five rounds of bidding, the price reached 3.4 million pounds.

Out of the consideration of saving money as much as possible, Yang Cheng didn't bother to follow them, raised the card again, and immediately raised the number to a new height, knocking out all the miscellaneous fish, "5 million pounds~"

It's strange to say that Yang Cheng's No. 8 card didn't appear many times tonight, but every time it appeared, it could attract the attention of the audience. With his 5 million bid, the scene was in an uproar. The method really made a group of aristocratic and old men who are not rich in gold have increased their knowledge.

The auctioneer was taken aback for a moment, and quickly realized that he raised his voice by an octave, "5 million pounds, Mr. Yang bid 5 million pounds, my God, gentlemen and ladies, Mr. Yang bid 5 million pounds for this jade seal, what is the price?" Is there a higher price?"

Forgive the auctioneer for his lack of words. He presided over the auction of dozens of items tonight. Although he changed other auctioneers to help auction some unimportant items during the period, the overall process is still in his hands. I praised him all night. Oxford Dictionary He used all the exaggerated words, and now he couldn't find any more suitable adjectives except amazed.

"5.2 million~" Soon, someone in the back row held up the number plate, and the auctioneer took a closer look, "The gentleman at No. 302 bid 5.2 million. It seems that he likes this jade seal very much. So, do you have 5.5 million?" ?”

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone perfectly cooperated, "5.5 million~"

"Mr. 2017 bid 5.5 million, thank you very much for your cooperation."

Everyone knew that this price was not the end point, and the experienced auctioneer knew it too, so he didn't waste too much praise, but continued to stimulate bidders to bid.

And Yang Cheng clicked her tongue secretly, the Chinese are still rich.
