Chapter 717： Still Chinese rich

"2.6 million! 2.6 million!"

The auctioneer called out the expected numbers on both sides one after another, but no one responded. All the people present here are human beings. The rarity of the rose garden can definitely arouse all women’s desire to buy, but considering the actual profitability, everyone is unwilling to do so. It pays an excessive price, and rose essential oil is not unsellable. It's a big deal to spend a little more money on the market every year. US$7 to 8,000 is nothing to the rich women who can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars.

After the auctioneer yelled, even if no one answered, his fiery brain instantly calmed down. 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 to be auctioned, so the auctioneer changed the conversation, "Miss Emma Watson bid 2.5 million pounds for the first time, 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 the intention to cut the card, then the hammer fell heavily, "2.5 million for the third time~"

"Pl~" The hammer fell

"Deal~"

Applause rang out, and sincere congratulations on Emma Watson’s wonderful performance.

Yang Chengqiang cheered up, clapping softly, but blood was dripping in his heart, "Grandma's ball is ~2.5 million pounds, which is more than 3 million US dollars. How many sports cars you buy, you will get a bunch of them. Broken roses?"

He has completely forgotten the memory of the various benefits of rose essential oil in his mind, and his mind is full of scenes of prodigal ladies raising signs.

The auctioneer would not stop the auction because of his mood. Pieces of invaluable items or contract ownership were moved to the display stand. Yang Cheng didn’t listen to it. He didn’t listen until the last auction before the intermission. Refresh yourself.

Without him, it was the Ferrari Enzo he was optimistic about. Of course, the real car was not driven onto the stage. Instead, it was shot on the scene by the photographer in Sotheby’s own parking lot and transferred from the scene. It is not difficult to find that the condition of this "red horse" 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 not less than 100,000 pounds. Originally, if there was no Rose Garden episode, Yang Cheng would definitely be able to talk to the people on site. He died, but spent more than 3 million US dollars inexplicably, so that Yang Cheng did not change his mind for a long time. Diao was possessed, and his interest in this sacred car was greatly reduced, even if he knew that the number of this car would be less and less. , Buy it back and wait for appreciation.

But he just didn't have the strength to raise the card. At the beginning, he bid a few rounds of prices. Seeing that the price soared to 2 million pounds, he took the initiative to give up the auction. Anyway, the old man has to keep the car for himself.

He comforts himself so.

As this sacred car fell at a price of 3.1 million pounds, the auction entered an intermediary stage. The noble lords needed a cup of coffee to relieve fatigue. Yang Cheng was no exception, pulling Emma Watson to the backstage first. After going through the formalities, signing the check, and transferring the rose garden to Emma Watson, he came to the rest area prepared by the organizer and made a cup of coffee to dispel the depression in the body.

Emma looked at the contract happily, and ignored Yang Cheng's depressed appearance, she didn't get angry.

"Happy?" asked negatively.

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

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

Well, he is also a figure on the Forbes list. Isn’t it just 3 million dollars? For him, it’s just a fraction of a fraction, and he can earn it back in minutes.

Yang Cheng finally wanted to open. The two chatted casually while drinking coffee, then returned to the venue, and the auction in the second half began immediately.

During the period, Yang Cheng also shot a few pieces of art for the decoration of the castle, mostly Western oil paintings or sculptures. After all, the landscape paintings of country Z are always a little disharmonious in the castle. Of course this is also This auction is not a special sale of country Z antiques. Apart from the Qianlong jade seal at the finale, there is only one Zhang Daqian landscape painting, which was taken away by a Chinese who seems to have an extraordinary identity.

After the deal, the man looked at Yang Cheng and nodded in thanks.

Yang Cheng wanted to say, "I didn't even want to shoot, right?"

All in all, in short, the auction will soon come to an end, and Yang Cheng’s most anticipated lot is about to appear on the market, so that he is a little restless. Judging from the Chinese who have just shot the painting, the rich Chinese who are present today will never stop. A few, the amount of funds is very generous, if Yang Cheng wants to take food from the wolves, I am afraid it really has to pay a price.

"The following is the most important guest at Sotheby's auction today. Let us invite you from the far east, the status symbol of a generation of hegemons, and the Shoushan Stone Nine Dragon Moire Seal!"

Yang Cheng really admired the auctioneer. After talking for several hours, he didn't see him dry and sluggish. On the contrary, at the last moment, he still had a bright and loud voice. Sure enough, he has a special skill in the art industry. , 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 clearly see the indelible and indelible atmosphere of the times on Yuxi. Prestige.

Yang Cheng couldn't wait to play with Yuxi, but unfortunately, this wish could not be satisfied temporarily.

The auctioneer didn’t mention Yuxi’s introduction. Anyway, it was all based on the script and couldn’t understand its true meaning. Forbearing not to speak out and berating the auctioneer’s desire to start quickly, Yang Cheng looked behind him vaguely and found that he was He did the same thing. There are not a few people who are leaning around and eager to move, sighing in his heart, "I hope the final price will not be too high."

Finally, after nearly ten minutes of Luo Li's bargaining, the auctioneer paused and announced that the starting price was 2 million pounds. This starting price alone has set a record for Qianlong jade seals.

However, the expected battles did not take place. After the auctioneer announced the start, the scene was quiet and scary, and it seemed that 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 returning to the national treasure and the sorrow of costing the robbers at a high price. I am afraid that most Chinese present think so.

Well, for the people of Country Z, the seal is a combination of practicality and fun, and it has existed as early as the Yin and Shang period.

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

For example, it is recorded in "Xiaoerya": "The seal is called the seal." And the Eastern Han Dynasty Cai Yong's "Doctrine" said: "The seal is the seal." Before the Qin Dynasty, the seal of honor and inferiority was generally referred to as the seal, Qin unified six After the Kingdom of the People's Republic of China, the emperor's seal was specifically called "xi", and subjects could only be called "print."

Therefore, regardless of the legendary experience given to Yuxi, it is impossible to escape the essence of a seal. The added value of a celebrity seal is a rule of the market, especially a seal that represents the status of a king of a country. It is worth a thousand dollars, but no matter how expensive it is. It should be a reasonable figure. The price of selling a seal for land is a bit of a joke. If it spreads out, it may cause criticism from a group of keyboard dogs: It is better to spend so much money to do charity and so on.

They never thought about what they could do without this method? Send soldiers to grab? Setting off the third world war?

Don’t talk about it. You have no choice but to spend money to buy it at a big price. You can either continue to play stupid and let the treasure of a country continue to wander overseas, or you can accept the plant and spend money to buy peace of mind. In the hearts of these overseas wanderers, there is no doubt that the latter is the best plan. Money can be earned back, but there is only one thing.

Therefore, when the scene was embarrassing and everyone was there wondering whether to continue, Yang Cheng made a move. He raised the number plate and did not bid. The auctioneer was overjoyed and quickly reached out to signal, "Mr. 2 million, thank you for your generosity, can I see 2.1 million?"

Yang Cheng’s bid was like opening the valve of a faucet. Those who hadn’t raised the placard for various reasons began to show their financial resources, but after 5 rounds of bidding, the price came to 3.4 million pounds.

Out of the consideration of saving money as much as possible Yang Cheng was too lazy to ink with them, raised the placard again, and immediately raised the number to a new height, slamming the miscellaneous fish out, "5 million pounds~ "

It's strange to say that Yang Cheng's No. 8 card appeared not many times tonight, but every time it appeared, it attracted the attention of the audience. With his 5 million call for export, the scene was in an uproar. The way it really made a group of aristocratic lords outside the gold flocks gained insight.

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

Forgive the auctioneer for his poor words. He presided over the auction of dozens of items tonight. Although other auctioneers helped to auction some unimportant items during the period, the overall process was still in his hands and praised the whole night. Oxford Dictionary He used the exaggerated words all the time, and besides being amazed, he could no longer find a more suitable adjective.

"5.2 million~" Soon, someone in the back row raised the number plate, and the auctioneer took a closer look. "The gentleman on 302 bid 5.2 million. It seems that he likes this jade seal very much. So, does 5.5 million have it? ?"

As soon as the auctioneer’s voice fell, someone perfectly cooperated, "5.5 million~"

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

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

And Yang Cheng secretly smacked his tongue, still Chinese are rich.
