Chapter 1,490 There Must Be a Demon when Something Goes Wrong?

1490

Night falls.

Beijing, Qiushibi auction.

Tonight is Autumn's Auctions' annual early autumn sale.

Tonight's auction, because there was such an important thing as the Azure Dragon Beast Head, a lot of people came, almost all the famous collectors in the world came.

Xu Taiping specially wore a suit and brought his female companion Yue Tutu to Qiushibi Auction House alone.

The entire auction house is very huge and is divided into many halls. Tonight's auction will be held in the largest hall.

Tonight's auction required an invitation letter to enter. Xu Taiping easily obtained two invitation letters, and then entered the auction house with Yue Tutu.

Zhang Quan and the others will arrive at Qiushibi Auction House later, and they will leave separately so that no one will doubt their relationship.

The first few rows of the auction had their names written on them, and all the seats without names after that were available for everyone to sit in. Xu Taiping and Yue Tutu found a seat that was not very close to the side and sat down.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Quan and others also walked into the hall.

These three people are all big customers of the auction house, so their positions are arranged in the first row, which is very prestigious.

After that, many people came one after another, some sitting in the front rows, and others sitting in the back.

Xu Taiping took a quick look and saw that he had seen a lot of people in the first few rows. They were basically all second and third generation people.

In the capital, there are a lot of second- and third-generation people. They are just like those idle princes in the Qing Dynasty. They have money to spend at home and someone in their ancestors has been in power. All they have to do is think about how to play and work hard. The four words "struggle" are almost insulated from these people.

"Thank you, boss, for bringing me to such an occasion!" Yue Tutu said excitedly, holding Xu Taiping's hand.

"You can release your hands now. Don't you feel hot?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I don't think so." Yue Tutu shook his head.

"I feel hot." Xu Taiping said helplessly. Yue Tutu held his hand and rubbed her chest against him from time to time. This made him very distressed and a little hot.

"Oh, okay then!" Yue Tutu smiled and took his hand away from Xu Taiping's wrist.

Soon, the auction began.

Xu Taiping has experienced many auctions. Although this auction includes the green dragon head, it is no different from the previous auctions.

Xu Taiping sat among the crowd, barely speaking, and never making any bids. After all, he was not a collector, and he didn't have much interest in antiques.

Compared with the auction items, Xu Taiping was more interested in the foreigners sitting in the front row. He had heard from Zhang Quan that foreign collectors also came to bid, but he did not expect so many to come.

However, there is nothing wrong with foreign collectors. After all, no collector has the strength to compete with Han Zun.

Soon, the auction entered the final part. Following the host's introduction, a 3D holographic green dragon head appeared on the stage.

Then, the bidding begins.

As soon as the starting price of 100 million appeared, someone else increased it to 300 million. Then, Zhang Quan calmly raised his hand and shouted the price to 500 million.

As soon as the price of 500 million was announced, many people immediately became silent. After that, several foreign buyers came forward to bid with Zhang Quan, and the price soared to 800 million.

Foreign buyers also began to decrease a little bit.

At the same time, the control room of Qiushibi Auction House.

A man with a manager's badge picked up the intercom and said, "Get ready to bid."

"Yes!" replied the other end of the intercom.

Just when this person finished speaking, someone in the auction hall on the surveillance screen raised his hand, and then shouted lightly, "Nine hundred million!"

"Turn the camera on that person!" the manager said quickly.

The camera immediately focused on the person who raised his hand.

"It's him?!" The manager's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe his eyes. If he saw it correctly, the person bidding for 900 million was the same person who caused a big loss for Qiushibi auction last year. Is it peaceful?

Last year's Rothschild gold auction was hailed as the biggest mistake of the Auction House's more than 200 years of existence. They mistakenly sold a very precious gold ring of the Rothschild family for an extraordinary price. Sold to Xu Taiping at a low price.

Although the price of several hundred million is already very high in the eyes of ordinary people, it is the key to the Rothschild family treasure house. With that key, as long as you can get a few treasures in the Rothschild family treasure house , the value is definitely more than several billion.

It was precisely because of this incident that an appraiser who was responsible for appraising the Rothschild family's gold objects was fired directly. At the same time, the president of the Asia-Pacific region of Qiushibi Auction was also punished.

It can be said that that gold auction made many people remember Xu Taiping, not only because Xu Taiping bought the gold ring, but also because Xu Taiping stubbornly refused to take back the gold ring from Qiushibi auction. Require.

After that, Xu Taiping never appeared at Qiushibi Auction House again. Unexpectedly, this time, Xu Taiping appeared again at the animal head auction.

The manager's brows furrowed. He was very surprised that Xu Taiping, who was not a collector at all, suddenly appeared to buy the green dragon head. It was as if a man who had never been a prostitute suddenly entered a chicken shop.

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!

The manager looked at the holographic projection of the green dragon head on the stage.

Could it be that this green dragon beast head also contains some secrets? Otherwise, how could Xu Taiping take action?

Xu Taiping only made one move at the Auction Auction before and took away a priceless treasure. Now, he makes a move for the second time. Does it prove that this green dragon head is also a priceless treasure like the Rothschild family gold ring? ?

After hesitating for a moment, the manager decided to report the matter to the headquarters.

At this time, Xu Taiping didn't know that he stepped forward to take the green dragon head in order to cooperate with Zhang Quan and the others. Unexpectedly, it attracted the attention of the senior management of Qiushibi Auction House!

If he had known this earlier, Xu Taiping probably wouldn't have stepped forward to act even if he had been killed.

"Nine hundred million, our buyer bids nine hundred million, is there anyone else?!" the auctioneer shouted loudly.

"Ninety-two million." Zhang Quan shouted with a frown.

"Ninety-five million!" Xu Taiping smiled and increased the price again.

"Ninety-five million, our buyer has spent ninety-five million, does anyone else want to increase the price?!" the auctioneer shouted.

Zhang Quan gritted his teeth and said no more.

Seeing that Zhang Quan didn't speak, the auctioneer hesitated a little. The Han Zun people had given up, so should they continue to increase the price for the entrustment they arranged? What if I increase the price and make the other party give up the auction?

After a few seconds of hesitation, the auctioneer did not get any instructions from above, so the auctioneer wanted to give up the hammer, because in his opinion, the auction house had previously estimated the price of this green dragon head to be around 800 million. , currently selling 950 million, which is already pretty good.

Just when the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer...

A foreigner suddenly shouted: "One billion!"

One billion?

The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, then looked at the foreigner, and found that the foreigner was the trustee they arranged.

The price for this trust is one billion? Is this what it means? Do you think the person who asked for the price of 950 million will continue to increase the price?

The other side.

Xu Taiping had already planned to celebrate, but to his surprise, Cheng Yaojin came out halfway.

According to what Brother Quan and the others said before, the budget this time was one billion, but now they have reached one billion in one go. Should he continue or retreat?

Xu Taiping glanced at Brother Quan and the others, and found that Brother Quan and the others were also looking at him.

Brother Quan nodded slightly, seemingly signaling Xu Taiping to continue increasing the price.

"One billion and fifty million." Xu Taiping raised his hand.

"One billion and fifty million, our gentleman bids one billion and fifty million!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

"One billion." Tuo raised his hand and shouted calmly.

"1.15 billion!" Xu Taiping shouted.

"Two billion!" Tuo shouted again.

When Tuo shouted out 1.2 billion, Xu Taiping discovered the problem.

This person bidding seems to be working against him. He didn't add a penny before, but now he has directly increased it to 1.2 billion. Moreover, this person doesn't look like he is asking for help. If he is asking for help, he is. It was impossible to increase the price so drastically. He had to increase the price little by little, and then keep himself following up without being scared away. This required a lot of skills.

Since it's not a trustee, where did this guy come from?

Zhang Quan and others sitting in the first row also frowned. They couldn't figure out why such a person suddenly appeared.

"What should I do?" Zhang Quan asked.

"We must buy the green dragon head!" Ye Luoshi said with a serious face, "Let Taiping continue to increase the price. The worst is, we will pay more!"

"Then send a message to Taiping!" Qin Guan said.

Zhang Quan nodded and sent a message to Xu Taiping.

The message is simple.

"No matter how much it costs, you must buy it!"

When Xu Taiping saw the news, he immediately gained strength. He smiled and said, "1.3 billion."

"1.4 billion." Thomas shouted.

"1.5 billion!" Xu Taiping continued to shout.

"Six billion!" Tuo shouted again.

"Seven billion!" Xu Taiping said.

"1.8 billion." Tuo still shouted.

The people attending the auction were frightened by Xu Taiping's bidding. They had never seen anyone shouting "100 million to 100 million" at any auction. This was completely treating 100 million yuan. The most basic unit of currency!

When the price had risen to 1.8 billion, Xu Taiping hesitated.

There is obviously something wrong with this price. How could a normal person spend 1.8 billion to buy such an animal head?
