Chapter 440

Three pieces are sold at the same time, with a price of 2 million pounds. Many people are able to buy them on the spot. What they are fighting for now is that they can't give up the price that exceeds the expectation and they are not optimistic about the appreciation prospect of Chinese antiques.

The meeting stopped for more than ten seconds, and soon someone began to raise their cards.

Seeing an offer, the auctioneer was relieved and said happily, "2 million, 2 million, 2 million on the 32nd. Is there anyone else who offers?".

"2.1 million pounds," Shen Cheng looked at several companions and saw that they all nodded and raised their cards.

A few minutes later, the price came all the way to 3.6 million pounds, which was more than 20% of the outside world's valuation of the three animal heads. Few people would bid again.

The price is close to their bottom line. This time, they only brought 50 million Chinese coins. If the auction price exceeds 4.2 million pounds, they will not have enough money.

When the price exceeded the expectation, the auctioneer exclaimed excitedly, "3.7 million. The 14th guest bid 3.7 million. Is there anyone else increasing the price?" At today's auction, the average price of the sold antiques has exceeded the expected 30%. After the auction, his commission will be considerable.

Only a few rounds, in Shen Cheng's worried mood, the price soon reached 4.3 million pounds. Before they hesitated to ask the group for help and instructions, the price rushed to 4.5 million pounds.

"Forget it, don't ask for any more instructions. It's impossible to win without 5 million pounds. More than 60 million Chinese coins have completely exceeded the price we can accept."

a silent Mr. Liu said to Shen Cheng and said to William, "Mr. Devonshire, it's up to you now. I'd rather have these three treasures in your hands than let others take them.".

On hearing this, William suddenly said, "how about we make a deal?".

"What?" Seeing things turn for the better, Shen Cheng asks, "what's the deal?"

Instead of answering his question, William raised his hand, snapped his fingers and said to the auctioneer, "five million pounds.".

"FK", a few people are still fighting for the heart immediately thump, has not been the action of William finally came on.

Regardless of the noise, William said to Shen Cheng, "I'm more interested in jadeite, chicken blood stone, tianhuangshi, lanolin white jade, huanghuali, sapphire and so on. I'll give you 5% of the normal commission as much as you buy for me.".

"Ha, 5%? You think it's an auction house. As far as I know, the normal commission should be at least 10%, "Shen Cheng glared at William and said sarcastically," you really deserve to be a capitalist. You fight for every penny. You even want to get millions of commission from us who make hard money. ".

"10% is 10%", William is not embarrassed to be torn down, "but I only want the best things, I won't accept ordinary goods.

By the way, if you can help me find the top gem with more than 100 carats, I'll give you a commission of 1 million pounds, and then I'll take these three animal heads for you, how about the money deducted from the Commission in the future? ".

"Well, it's very difficult to find the top gems. But if you have contacts and know more people, you may be able to find out who has them. But this kind of thing can't be done 100 percent. If you find the gems, what if they don't want to sell them?

"Five million pounds, Mr. Devonshire bid five million, is there anyone else to bid again?" the auctioneer immediately got excited when he saw William's bid, "five million for the first time.".

Those who increased the price before hesitated for a few seconds and raised their cards,

"5.1 million".

William raised his card without thinking about it.

"5.2 million pounds. Mr. Devonshire has offered 5.2 million pounds. Is there anyone else to bid?" exclaimed the auctioneer excitedly.

"What do you want the top sapphire for?"

"You may know that my mother's birthday is coming. I'm going to make her a super crown with 100 carat or more top-level gems. Now there are top-level colorless, pink diamonds and rubies, but only sapphire. So if you can help me find it, I'll be very grateful.".

"My Sanqing Buddha is made of 100 carat or more top-level gems, and the value of these gems alone is more than 100 million US dollars." Professor Guan looked at William in surprise. He saw that William just shrugged his shoulders and shook his head without any heartache.

"I know how extravagant the life of these top English nobles is. It's not only a gift for a birthday It's worth hundreds of millions of dollars to give to the Premier League team. If you get married, how much will it cost.

"Well, don't be envious," Mr. Liu said to stop everyone's discussion. "We can't use the money we earn as much as we want. We can't envy this kind of thing. We have a super money making child who doesn't live as well as Mrs. Lina.".

"Ha ha, it's true that Mr. Liu said this. I really can't envy this kind of thing." everyone nodded and agreed, but William's eyes were more eager.

It's quite different to spend 700 million pounds building a stadium, a training ground, a museum and hundreds of millions to celebrate my mother's birthday.

After everyone laughed, Mr. Liu said, "Mr. Devonshire, we can help you find some of the best quality jewelry, but we can't accept your commission. Instead, we will help you free of charge for the sake of our friendship. So, take these three animal heads first, and we'll talk about the rest later."."Hey, hey," William looked at old Liu with some surprise and no surprise, and silently scolded "old fox" in his heart.

He doesn't feel that he has any friendship with these people. If he doesn't have contact with them several times, he will really have any friendship. To refuse himself is to let him owe them personal affection and find it back in other places where he needs it.

However, old comrade Liu may not know how shameless William will be when he is shameless. Unless William will not suffer losses, he will certainly not recognize this promise without agreement.

Or even if you do, you have to take advantage.

Anyway, William didn't go to China to do business, so he didn't have to ask for these people at all. As long as he spent money on jadeite and suede, it was not that he couldn't find a broker. If he had no desire, he would be just.

"No problem," William looked at the smiling old fox meaningfully, "we'll talk later.".

I regret that I didn't explain William's character to you before I came out.

Just as he was saying that, he heard the auctioneer deliberately remind him in a loud voice, "5.3 million pounds for the second time, is there anyone else to bid again? This is three of the only 12 animal heads in the world. It's not so easy to miss this chance and get them again.

William was no longer interested in raising the price by a hundred thousand and said, "six million pounds.".

"Damn it.".

"God, is he crazy or something? Six million is more than double the actual value.".

As soon as six million pounds was announced, there was a lot of breathing in, and then there was a lot of noise.

"Six million for the first time, six million for the second time", the auctioneer looked at the last bidder, saw him shake his head, immediately knocked down the gavel, "six million for the third time, deal.".
