Chapter 344

After the explanation, the auctioneer turned off the demonstration video.

"Now that you have finished reading this famous painting at the national treasure level, we will officially start today's auction. Mr. Wang Wei's painting of autumn living in the dark mountain starts with a starting price of one million and 100000 units each time..."

The little golden hammer in the auctioneer's hand knocked heavily on the red sandalwood table, "Dong", which was the prelude to today's auction.

As soon as the auctioneer shouted, there was a show of cards below.

Qiao Ansheng was calm.

After a while, the price was raised to two million by the rising tide.

"Mr. Qiao, it's two million. Don't we bid?"

Xiao Zhang looked at the increase of those amounts on the screen. She pulled Qiao Ansheng's sleeve and looked stunned.

She stuck out her tongue, pulled up her finger and counted the zeros behind the two million: "a picture, two million, my God, is this the happiness of the rich?"

Qiao Ansheng glanced back at those people who raised cards frequently. She looked calm, just smiled without saying anything, lowered her head and continued to look at the picture album in her hand.

"Mr. Qiao, why don't you worry? The price is rising too fast. It's so expensive..."

Qiao Ansheng casually turned over a page of the album and said leisurely, "this price is still early. Now the whole auction venue is still in the chandelier effect."

"What is the chandelier effect?"

Qiao Ansheng turned around and looked at Zhang, who was thirsty for knowledge. She closed the picture album in her hand and patiently explained to her: "the chandelier effect is a hidden rule in the auction house. In order to make the atmosphere at the auction site stronger, the auctioneer would pretend that there were bids in the auction hall at the beginning, in fact..."

Qiao Ansheng looked up at the complicated and flowing crystal lamp hanging overhead.

"Now there are many childcare in the bidding, or there is no bid at all. The auctioneer is just pointing to the chandelier above our heads..."

Qiao Ansheng paused for a moment. Her tone was not urgent or slow. When you came, there was a convincing meaning.

"There are only a few dozen people who are really bidding in an auction, and they haven't bid yet."

Xiao Zhang's face was unidentified and sharp. Her eyes changed when she looked at Qiao Ansheng. She held her hands in front of her chest, and her eyes were about to become shining star eyes.

"Wow, Mr. Joe, how do you know so much! You're great! "

Just then, the auctioneer's mood suddenly rose, and the excited voice came out through the microphone.

"God, a gentleman offered three million!"

Qiao Ansheng smiled and patted Xiao Zhang who was almost stunned next to him: "you see, this is the real beginning..."

After 3.5 million, the number of placards was significantly reduced. After the auctioneer shouted 2.5 million twice in a row, someone reluctantly raised the sign.

"3.6 million twice!"

Qiao Ansheng took the wooden card on the table next to him and raised it.

"Bid 45! 3.7 million! Is there anything higher than this price! 3.7 million! Once! "

The auctioneer held up the golden hammer with an excited and nervous look on his face. He glanced at the people under the stage and stimulated the nerves of the buyers with an impassioned tone.

"3.7 million twice! Is there anything higher? "

At this time, another sign was raised in the rear.

The auctioneer immediately raised his voice again: "another bid! 3.8 million! "

Xiao Zhang was more nervous than the auctioneer. He clasped his hand tightly on the arm of the chair and glanced at Qiao Ansheng, but he saw that she was still calm.

Finally, when the price was about to rise, Qiao Ansheng raised the sign in his hand: "four million."

Red lips gently spit out a price enough to make the auctioneer more enthusiastic.

The venue was quiet except for the high voice of the auctioneer.

Then everyone's eyes fell on Qiao Ansheng.

Last year, the transaction price of another painting by Wang Wei was 4.5 million. Seeing that it has gradually approached last year's price, many buyers began to think carefully.

Qiao Ansheng didn't realize it. He just sat there straight. Half of the soft white neck exposed at the collar was as graceful and slender as a swan's neck.

The people sitting behind her could only see her back, and they all began to guess the identity of the bidder.

"Good! Four hundred times! "

Sitting in the back row, Qiao Mengxi held the number plate tightly. Through the heavy figures in the front row, she could only see Qiao Ansheng's back.

The people around her were whispering.

"Oh, No. 45, what's the source? It's so generous!"

"I don't know! Anyway, the painting is worth four million yuan, and no one should increase the price. It is estimated that it will be No. 45 in the end... "

Qiao Mengxi listened to those people's comments, and her teeth were about to break.

Why can she easily bid so high and get the attention of the whole audience!

She Qiao Mengxi is no match for her!

Jealousy and anger rushed up, making the thread in Qiao Mengxi's brain snap and break.

When she reacted, the number card in her hand had been raised as high as a flag declaring war

The man sitting next to her reacted and exclaimed, "are you crazy?"

Qiao Mengxi turned a deaf ear.

Almost at the moment she held up the sign, the auctioneer was excited like a second kick to explode, pointing to this side, and his voice was broken.

"4.1 million!"

This time, the whole audience was silent again. They all looked at Qiao Mengxi along their eyes.

Qiao Ansheng was about to hear the auctioneer's decision, but suddenly there were sudden changes. She frowned and looked back with the people around her.

Qiao Mengxi was in the center of her eyes.

The unspeakable envy in her eyes made her feel a lot more balanced. Her anger was dispelled, and the corners of her mouth rose. She enjoyed the feeling of being noticed by everyone.

Her vanity burst in an instant, and the angry eyes of the man next to her could be ignored.

Qiao Ansheng tilted his head and finally saw Qiao Mengxi's complacent appearance in the crowd.

In fact, in the late stage of the auction, with the rise of prices, most people are holding a wait-and-see attitude, and the increase of prices is very slow.

And she directly shouted from 3.8 million to 4 million, so that others could have the illusion that she was bound to win, so that they would no longer bid.

She can also take what she wants at a lower price.

Who knows, kill a Cheng Yaojin on the way.
