Chapter 2093

"Two hundred and thirty thousand." Eaton also raised his brand and joined the competition. Andre gave Eaton a gloomy look: are you going to compete with me?

Eaton looks innocent: I'm just supporting Langley, OK?

Andre didn't buy it at all, muttered something, and then raised the sign, "250000." The offer went up by 20000 pounds in one go, and the auction began to speed up.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand." Can make nothing of it a foxy smile, but it is very harsh to Andre. It is not known whether other people can feel the same way. Andre immediately turned his head to make complaints about Dave Clark's direction. Dai Fulian had a decent smile, but Andre didn't buy it at all. He smiled and laughed at the corners of his mouth, all over his face, which was sharp. And then he said, "three hundred thousand."

It's obvious that Dave's expression is slightly stiff. Obviously, I didn't expect Andre to express his rejection so frankly.

Just when Dave was a little stunned, the offer still didn't stop. There were still many guests calling for offers.

"Three hundred and ten thousand."

"Three hundred and twenty thousand."

However, in a short time of two seconds and three seconds, Howard's bidding price has reached "350000", and the rising speed has not slowed down.

"Four hundred thousand." Matthew directly raised his brand, and once again raised the price to a higher level with a shout. Andre opened his eyes and cast his eyes at Matthew, his face was incomprehensible: How did you bid? This made Lan Li laugh.

Dave, sitting on the other side, also noticed the tightening air. He raised the sign again, "four hundred thousand."

However, the voice has just dropped, and other competitors behind us are flocking like wolves and tigers. Before we have time to breathe, the price has soared all the way to 500000 yuan. Such a warm atmosphere is far beyond imagination, which also forces Howard to change the rhythm of the auction

The price for each lift is 50000.

The number of competitors on the scene began to decrease, and then the real top competitors began to prepare for the move.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand." Dave took the lead in attacking. After holding up the sign, he also deliberately cast his eyes in the direction of Andre and Langley, but there was no response.

"600000." Matthew calmly raised the price.

At this time, Andre reacts that Matthew and Eaton are helping to run on Dave; However, because he loved the snuff bottle very much, he inevitably brought his selfishness into his mind. He still hoped that he could auction it. Naturally, he had no way to look at the whole auction process rationally

He's not even in the mood to make fun of Dave.

"650000." Then Dave called out the price again.

Andre could not help but began to grind his teeth, but still raised the sign in time, "700000."

"750000." Dave and Andre's eyes collided, and both of them showed no sign of weakness.

Matthew reluctantly looks at Lan Li and doesn't get involved any more——

Shouldn't they have joined hands to make fun of Dave? Deliberately bid up the price, forcing Dave to bid at an incredible price; After the deal is confirmed, tell Dave that the snuff bottle is actually lanli's, and then Dave's expression will be the most interesting part.

But now Andre is obviously too excited, even lost his mind. If they continue to bid up prices, it may be Andre who will lose out in the end.

Lanli also has some helplessness. Before Andre is ready to continue to bid, he pats Andre's arm and makes Andre stop with his eyes.

Andre is very unwilling, first of all, this is his favorite snuff bottle; Secondly, this is lanli's snuff bottle. Why is it accepted by that guy? He felt uncomfortable. Even though he knew that the price had far exceeded the expectation, he still couldn't help it.

"But..." Andre looks at Langley and tries to argue, but Langley still shakes his head firmly: Andre really doesn't need to spend so much money, his daily allowance is not so much, 750000 is a very good price for charity auction, and it's double the estimated price of Sotheby's, It's wise to stop when you see the good.

Andre is so depressed! He drooped his shoulders and looked back, as if he was ready to give up. But when Lan Li didn't notice, he raised the sign again, "800000!"

Then he steadfastly looked straight ahead and avoided Lan Li's sight. His childish behavior made Lan Li laugh and cry, and he didn't know what to say.

"Eight hundred and fifty thousand." Now that he's in the mood, he's yelling and angry, and some of them start to raise their prices.

Andre's eyes widened, thinking whether he should continue to raise the price.

At this time, a voice came out from behind, "one million". It was obvious that the atmosphere on the scene was slightly stagnant.

In art auctions, a million pounds is nothing at all, but tens of millions of pounds are numerous; But at the charity auction, the offer of one million pounds is a little crazy. Few people will donate one million pounds in this way.

Andre immediately gave up. He was not the opponent at all, but after he was depressed, he was glad to wink at Langley: if he didn't get the auction, at least Dave didn't get it, that would be the best result, and his mood would be much happier.

Dave felt insulted. First he was besieged by Andre and Matthew, and then he was directly intercepted by the black horse. If he gave up now, wouldn't he be too subdued? This is his first appearance in public after his association with Beatrice!

He can't give up.

"One million and fifty thousand." Dave raised the sign again, gritted his teeth and announced the price. But before he could even put it down, the voice behind him said, "1.2 million." It's way faster than Dave can handle.

Whether Andre or Dave, including other millionaires or multimillionaires, their wealth is counted in the form of "assets", including fixed assets, stock funds and other forms. However, the actual working capital in hand is not necessarily able to take out a million pounds at a time——

They are either billionaires or professional art collectors. Otherwise, for most of them, the working capital must be reinvested. Only by continuous operation can the capital create more wealth.

Now, Dave is in a dilemma: he always feels weak when he gives up; Keep up, and he doesn't think it's worth it.

But at this moment, being on the spot of the auction, his sense is a little loose. In addition, all the guests around him are elites of the upper class. His every move, every word and every act are under the attention of the public. Now his bad performance may leave an irreparable negative impact.

So, "1.25 million." Dave still clenched his teeth and raised his offer again, but on the surface, he had to show his demeanor. He raised his brand with a smile on his face and continued to make a go of it. He tried to show a light look and bathed in the attention of the whole audience.

Dave is doomed to be disappointed.

"1.5 million!" The black horse, who jumped out at the last moment, completely defeated Dave in the way of one stroke. After three inquiries, Howard finally hammered out the highest price deal at today's auction.

After all, Dave was not able to speak again. His smile was still stiff, but he had to give the competitor a gentle applause: congratulations on winning the auction.

1.5 million pounds.

Don't mention Dave. Even lanli and Matthew are slightly surprised: This snuff bottle is definitely not worth the price!

As a reference, the snuff bottle with the highest transaction price in the global auction is from 2011, an antique named "Qing Qianlong glass painting enamel Western lady snuff bottle". The final transaction price is as high as 2.5 million pounds, which still can not be surpassed.

But apart from that, most snuff bottles are worth between 100000 and 500000.

Just because of this, when the auction price exceeded 750000 pounds, Langley stopped Andre. He didn't want Andre to bid at random; But the final transaction price is even more outrageous. Even as the owner of the donated goods, lanli is also aware of a little uneasiness.

Matthew and Langley exchanged a vision:

Although this is a charity auction, mainly charity; But the occasion for all the elites to come together is not so simple. It's just like that Dave hopes to make a big splash and really make a name for himself in the upper class. There are so many similar situations. Everyone is eager to come here to gild, including Mr. and Mrs. hall.

This also means that there may be something strange behind the 1.5 million pound auction of the next snuff bottle. It's obviously not that simple.

Turning around, I found that the No. 43 customer who finally completed the auction was a completely strange face - he was an agent, talking with a headset cable, and someone behind the scenes remotely controlled the auction, which also made the identity of the bidder more mysterious.

Obviously, that's what the other side wants to create.

After the drop of the hammer, all the guests at the scene speculated about the identity of the bidder in the sight exchange. The atmosphere at the scene was very lively. The mysterious man immediately became the focus of the whole audience, and Dave was directly forgotten by everyone. Even the previous bid of Langley was not enough.

Andre was also completely excited. "Ha ha, do you see his face? It's like being punched in the face by Tyson. It's so interesting. "
