How can I go back to the past?

Chapter 353: Auction, Digging a Pit, Two Billion

"Sorry, I'll take a call first."

"Please."

Coming to the side, Li Le answered the call.

"Hey! Li Hao, why are you calling me at this time?"

Li Hao did not answer him, but asked: "Li Le, are you free tonight?"

"what?"

"Accompany me to an auction."

Li Le rubbed his forehead, not understanding why Li Hao always liked to participate in these boring activities.

It’s either gambling on stones or auctions, there’s nothing else to do.

Because Li Le knew that a serious auction house would not hold auctions at night.

Auctions held at night are usually organized by individuals or companies themselves.

"Li Hao, can't you be more normal?" Li Le asked speechlessly.

"Don't talk nonsense, just tell me whether you will go with me or not."

Li Le smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Isn't it okay for me to go?"

"Hehehe, I knew you would accompany me." Li Hao said excitedly.

"Okay, I have something to do now. Just tell me the time and place later. I'll come over when I'm done here."

"Well! Go ahead and do your work. I'll send it to your phone."

"it is good!"

By the time Li Le finished his call, Mr. Qi had already taken ten yuan from the most valuable pile.

"Boss Li, I want ten pieces, each piece is worth 600,000, what do you think?" Mr. Qi asked.

"What's there to say? Of course there's no problem!" Li Le said indifferently.

Although he knew that if he sold it to someone else, the price might be higher, he should not forget that the other person had been busy here for almost the entire day.

Apart from the meal, no one even charged for tea. The money that was shortchanged was considered as tea money.

"Thank you, Boss Li."

"You're welcome."

As for payment, Li Le doesn't have to worry about it because Manager Hu is here.

After Mr. Qi followed Manager Hu to get the invoice and pay, Li Le looked at the dozen or so piles of Yuan Datou banknotes and became worried again.

He has no use for these things, but it's not easy to sell them, he has to find people who like them.

Anyway, Li Le doesn’t know such a person.

Just at this time, Shopkeeper Hu came back.

"Mr. Qi is gone?" Li Le asked.

"Yes, boss. After issuing the invoice, Mr. Qi paid the money and left with the ten Yuan Datou coins."

This is how antique trading works, no matter how much money you pay, you have to issue an invoice.

Used to prove the origin of antiques. Of course, it is not necessary for private transactions.

However, there are not many private transactions, because private transactions are for collection, and there is no intention to sell them at all.

"Okay, let's go. By the way, these are left to you. Just put them on the counter. Sell them if someone wants them." Li Le said, pointing at the Yuan Datou coins on the coffee table.

"Good boss."

Li Le's antique shop sells real stuff, and the quantity is not large.

Because the quantity was small, nothing was put on the counter.

Now it’s good, I can put these Yuan Datou coins into the counter.

Anyone who comes to buy antiques can see it when they issue the invoice and pay.

Li Le even thought about taking out some small gadgets and putting them on the counter for sale.

You know, Li Le has a lot of gadgets, and they are all good things.

Yes, those jadeite and jade products, and many of them are ancient jades.

Keep some of the good ones and sell some of the more ordinary ones.

Looks like I need to take some time to sort it out.

Since bringing it back, it has been left there and Li Le has never paid any attention to it.

"Ding dong!"

The cell phone rang and Li Le quickly took it out to check.

This is the message sent by Li Hao. The time is 7pm and the location is Triumph Hotel.

There is only one Triumph Hotel in the entire imperial capital, so there is no mistake about the location.

Just as Li Le thought, it was another private auction.

Since it was already seven o'clock, Li Le had no plans to go home. There was no other way. Since Nie Weiwei's store opened, Nie Weiwei rarely went home before half past six.

In this case, Li Le would not be able to eat when he returned, because there would not be enough time for Nie Weiwei to go back and cook.

At half past five, Li Le left the store, ate something outside, and drove to the Triumph Hotel.

Li Le arrived on time, but he was still early because it was just half past six when he arrived.

Today's auction requires an invitation, but Li Le doesn't have one.

So he could only park the car and wait at the gate.

Yes, he had already called Li Hao, and Li Hao would be here soon, so he was waiting here.

"Hey, isn't this Mr. Li? Why can't I get in?" Just at this moment, an annoying voice sounded.

Li Le turned his head and took a look, then said, "I was wondering why there were crows when I went out today. It turns out they knew I was going to run into a dog!"

"you……"

"What do you mean? How come your legs are better? You can jump around again, right?"

That’s right, this person is Hu Jin, the eldest son of a reclusive family with a similar status to Li Hao.

Last time, he brought people to block Li Le and wanted to beat Li Le up, but he didn't expect that he was beaten up instead and his leg was broken.

In the blink of an eye, more than three months have passed. I guess my leg should have healed a long time ago, but I didn't expect to encounter it here again today.

"Hmph! If you're so good, why don't you go in? Don't you have an invitation?" Hu Jin knew that he couldn't gain the upper hand by talking, so he could only change the subject.

Li Le curled his lips and said, "Don't you know that I am waiting for someone?"

"Humph, what do you mean by waiting for someone? I see you don't have an invitation."

Li Le really doesn't have this thing, but it doesn't matter! As long as someone has it, it's fine.

"You're right. I don't have an invitation, but so what? As long as I can get in, it's fine."

"Security, you heard it! He doesn't have an invitation letter, get rid of him quickly."

A security guard who seemed to be the leader came over and said to Hu Jin, "I'm sorry, sir, we don't have the right to chase you away."

What is the duty of security guards? To ensure peace and security. That’s what they are doing now.

Where are they? Of course, the main gate. Now they are here to check the invitation letters.

Those with invitation letters can enter, no one is barred from entering, but they cannot do things like kicking people out because they do not have that right.

"You guys are crazy! He's just a country bumpkin. There's no way he could have come in here."

The security guard is not a fool. How could he come here without an identity card?

Apart from anything else, they all saw Li Le getting off the car just now.

That's the Brabus G900! A car costs more than million yuan. How can a person who can drive a car worth more than million yuan be a bumpkin from the countryside?

Besides, what does it have to do with them whether others are bumpkins or not?

There is no rule that people are not allowed to come here. As long as people don't force their way in, they won't care.

"I'm sorry sir, this is not our responsibility. We are only responsible for guarding the door. As long as this gentleman doesn't break in, we have no right to ask him to leave."

"You...you guys, okay, just wait for me." Hu Jin pointed at the security guard and said.

Seeing that the security guard ignored him, Hu Jin turned to Li Le and said, "A country bumpkin wants to enter the Triumph Hotel."

"Are you provoking me?" Li Le asked with a smile on his face and tilted his head.

"Shh! You are not worthy of provoking me."

"Oh! What are you doing now?" Li Le asked.

"I……"

Hu Jin originally wanted to say something, but seeing Li Le's look, he was a little afraid.

Others may not know about Li Le, but he knows! Li Le is very good at fighting.

If he got beaten up by Li Le here, he would be so embarrassed.

"I'll give you three numbers. Disappear from my sight, or you know the consequences," said Li Le.

I didn't want to pay attention to him just now, but I didn't expect this guy to be so pushy.

It’s not like Li Le is made of clay, and even clay figures would still have some temper!
Li Le doesn't cause trouble, but he is never afraid of trouble. It was like this in the past, and it goes without saying now.

"Tsk, three numbers? Who do you think you are?" Hu Jin said with a curled lip.

He didn't take Li Le's warning seriously at all, because he didn't think Li Le dared to take action here.

"one."

"Just a pretentious country bumpkin."

"two."

Hu Jin said provocatively: "Let me count for you! Three."

Unfortunately, Li Le ignored him and continued to count: "Three."

As soon as he counted to three, Li Le started moving, very quickly.

"Snapped!"

"Ow..."

Hu Jin turned around on the spot and let out a scream.

Fortunately, this was in public, and Li Le held back. Although it would hurt, there wouldn't be much damage.

Otherwise, with just this one slap, Li Le could have knocked out half of his teeth.

"You... you dare to hit me?"

Li Le curled his lips and said, "It's already happened. Isn't it a bit late for you to talk about this now?"

"Security, didn't you see him beating someone? Arrest him now."

Li Le walked over and punched Hu Jin directly in the stomach.

This time, Hu Jin couldn't shout anymore.

"You are still a three-year-old child? Call your parents if you get beaten. Besides, the security guard is not your father."

After saying that, Li Le patted Hu Jin on the face.

The security guard was standing at the gate, seemingly not seeing anything.

There is no way. As the saying goes, when gods fight, mortals suffer. They don't want to get into trouble.

"Next time, remember this and don't provoke me again, or I won't just give you two spankings."

As for whether Hu Jin would think this would lead to calling the police, Li Le was not worried at all. What's the harm in calling the police?

There's no injury, it's just a slap and a punch!

Moreover, it was the local provocation that started it first, and it happened again and again.

Besides, Hu Jin would not call the police because he could not afford to lose face.

When people like them get into a conflict, it can be said that whoever calls the police loses.

It's equivalent to admitting that I can't beat you and can only let the police deal with you.

This is very embarrassing, something that the second generation of young masters would not do, let alone a young master from a reclusive family like him.

Otherwise, even though Li Le broke his legs last time, he wouldn't have been left alone without any consequences.

"Hey, so lively?"

Hearing this voice, Li Le laughed, because this voice came from Li Hao.

Li Hao did not see Li Le hitting Hu Jin, but he knew that the two must have had a conflict.

"You guy, you are always so late. Can't you leave earlier?" Li Le said without turning his head.

"Sorry, something delayed me."

"Okay, let's go in!" Li Le said helplessly, shaking his head.

"Okay." Li Hao turned his head and looked at Hu Jin, smiled and took out the invitation letter.

The security guard took it, took a look at it, then returned the invitation to Li Hao and let the two people in.

Watching the two people go in, Hu Jin's teeth were almost broken, but there was nothing he could do.

Anyway, this is a huge loss of face, and Li Hao saw it.

In a large banquet hall on the third floor of the Triumph Hotel.

This is today's home court. There is a table on the stage and many sofas underneath.

Li Le took a rough look and saw that there were at least two hundred of them.

Moreover, this sofa is not an ordinary sofa. It can be seen from this that this auction is extraordinary.

When the two of them came over, most of the sofas were already occupied.

There are no rules about who sits where.

Li Hao took Li Le with him, and the two of them found a seat next to each other where no one was sitting, and sat down directly.

"Today's standard is very high?"

Li Hao looked around and said, "Yes, they are quite tall. You can say they are all well-known people."

"Oh!"

Li Le also looked around, but unfortunately he didn't recognize any of them. That was right, he only knew a few people! And few of the people he knew were qualified to come.

Let me put it this way! If it weren't for Li Hao, he wouldn't be able to get in.

It was said to start at seven o'clock, but it didn't start until half past seven.

In fact, what Li Le didn’t know was that seven o’clock was the entry time, not the starting time.

But this can't be blamed on him, because Li Hao didn't explain it to him clearly, otherwise he would never have come so early.

At around 7:50, a beautiful young woman in cheongsam walked onto the stage.

With the microphone in hand, he said, "Welcome everyone to Triumph's annual private auction. I will be hosting today's auction."

"Private auction? What does that mean?" Li Le asked.

Li Hao said in a low voice: "Today's auction items were all brought in by individuals. Of course, some were brought in by companies, but they are all good things, otherwise they would not be eligible for auction at all."

"Is that so?" Li Le nodded.

I seem to understand it, but I also seem not to understand it. However, one thing is that all the items auctioned today are good things.

"Now, please welcome the first item."

After the auctioneer, the beautiful young woman, finished speaking, a girl in cheongsam came up to the stage with a tray, put the items away, and then stood beside her.

As for the auction items, they were covered with a red cloth and no one knew what they were.

"The first lot for auction today is a sapphire necklace provided by Caibai Jewelry."

After the auctioneer finished speaking, the girl in the cheongsam lifted the red cloth.

A magnificent sapphire necklace appeared before everyone.

This sapphire necklace is made of platinum and inlaid with dozens of sapphires.

From bottom to top, they are of different sizes, but they look extremely beautiful. To be honest, Li Le was moved.

"This sapphire necklace uses a total of 33 top-grade sapphires. The starting price is 50 million."

"Damn, no way, the starting price is 50 million." Li Hao muttered nearby.

"Why, are you interested?" Li Le asked.

"Nonsense, who isn't interested? It's just that the price is too high." Li Hao said with a wry smile.

Seeing his expression, Li Le knew that this guy really wanted to take the picture, needless to say, he was planning to give it to Ruan Jing.

Li Le thought for a moment and said, "It doesn't matter how high or low the starting price is. No matter how low the starting price is, it will eventually exceed 50 million. This will actually stop some people from bidding."

After hearing what Li Le said, Li Hao thought about it and said, "Yes, this necklace is worth at least 100 million."

"Fifty million."

"Fifty-five million."

"Sixty million."

"Seventy million."

"Seventy-two million."

"Seventy-five million."

"Seventy-five million. Is there anything higher than seventy-five million?"

At this time, Li Le raised the sign and shouted, "One hundred million."

"Uh! Li Le, what are you doing?" Li Hao asked.

"What's the matter?" Li Le turned around and asked.

"Are you also interested in this necklace?" Li Hao asked.

"It's boring!" Li Le shook his head.

After knowing that Li Hao wanted this necklace, Li Le decided not to take a photo.

"Why are you bidding a price? And you directly bid 100 million."

You should know that others added five million or two million, but Li Le directly added twenty-five million.

"I called for you."

"what!"

Li Le knew very well that the necklace was worth more than 100 million yuan. Instead of doing that, it would be better to just raise the price.

This will discourage some people from bidding.

"Once in a hundred million."

"Is anyone else raising the price?"

After Li Le called out the price of 100 million, there was a pause of a few seconds and no one bid again.

"One hundred and ten million."

After hearing the offer, Li Le looked over and saw that it was indeed Hu Jin.

Li Le turned around and looked at Li Hao and asked, "How much do you want to pay for this necklace?"

"What do you mean?" Li Hao asked.

"Let me put it this way! How much do you think this necklace is worth?"

Li Hao thought for a moment and said, "One hundred and fifty million!"

"Okay, I see."

Just at this moment the auctioneer shouted, "One hundred and ten million at a time, is there anything higher?"

"One hundred and twenty million," Li Le shouted. "One hundred and thirty million," Hu Jin followed suit.

"One hundred and fifty million." Li Le raised the sign again.

“I didn’t expect it! Now it’s the world of young people.” said a big man sitting in the front.

"Yeah! It seems we are getting old."

Another big boss next to him turned his head and looked back. When he saw that it was Li Le, he smiled and said, "If it's him, then we are really old."

"Oh! Do you know this young man, Lao Lang?"

Yes, one of these big guys is Mr. Lang.

Li Le also said that he didn't know anyone! He just didn't see them.

That’s right, he and Li Hao were sitting a little further back and couldn’t see the people in front of them at all.

"I know him, a very capable young man." Mr. Lang nodded and said.

"It must be very difficult for someone like you to call him a capable young man."

These big guys have known each other for most of their lives, so it can be said that they understand each other very well.

Thinking about the antiques in Li Le’s house, the total value is at least over 100 billion yuan, and it is estimated that Li Le bought them at auctions.

Mr. Lang said, "Let me put it this way! As long as he wants, all the good stuff tonight will probably be bought by him."

What Mr. Lang didn’t know was that the antiques in Li Le’s house were not the ones he saw.

What he saw was only a small part of it.

This cannot be blamed on Mr. Lang, because when Mr. Lang came to his house, he only displayed more than a hundred pieces.

Now, Li Le has more than two thousand antiques in his hands, which are at the national treasure level and precious treasure level.

As for the rare and fine items, there are currently more than four thousand pieces, but Li Le does not like these rare and fine items and is planning to sell them all.

"Hiss! Lao Lang, according to what you said, this is no longer just having strength, this is extremely strong!"

"Hahaha, of course. Let me tell you, he has opened an antique shop now. All the antiques sold in the shop are real, and there are many rare and good things."

In Mr. Lang's eyes, the antiques sold by Li Le are rare treasures.

But what he said was not wrong. Li Le looked down on precious antiques, but in the eyes of many people, they were definitely treasures.

Any one of them is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. Aren’t they rare treasures?

"Awesome, no wonder you said that." A big shot nodded.

"One hundred and fifty million at a time."

"Is there anything higher than 150 million?"

"Twice a hundred and fifty million."

"One hundred and fifty million three times, deal." The auctioneer dropped the hammer.

"Go and pay later." Li Le said to Li Hao.

"Okay." Li Hao smiled.

He thought that 150 million was impossible to get! Unexpectedly, he got it so easily.

This can only mean that Li Le is lucky and no one competes with him.

There were a few big guys in front who were interested, but Mr. Lang’s words made them give up the idea.

As for Hu Jin, he also wanted to continue bidding, but was afraid that Li Le would trick him.

Now that the hammer had fallen, he regretted not continuing to bid, but it was too late.

Let's put it this way! Li Le got this necklace for 150 million, which was definitely a great bargain.

Because if this necklace were auctioned normally, it would be worth at least 200 million.

I have to say that sometimes luck is also a kind of strength.

"Please give me the second lot below."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, a girl in cheongsam came out pushing a cart with something on it.

But because it was covered with red cloth, no one knew what it was. However, one thing is certain: the item was not small and probably not light, otherwise it would not have been pushed up on a cart.

"The following lot was provided by a private collector. It is a jadeite rough stone from an old mine. According to the collector, he has collected this rough stone for more than 30 years."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the girl in the cheongsam lifted the red cloth.

A piece of raw stone as big as a bucket of water appeared in front of everyone.

The first time he saw the stone, Li Le's heart was touched, and he didn't know why.

"The starting price for this rough stone is one million, and each bid must not be less than one hundred thousand."

"One million and one hundred thousand."

"1.2 million."

"One million and three hundred thousand."

At this time, Li Le raised the sign and shouted, "Two million."

"Uh! Li Le, what are you doing..." Li Hao asked in confusion.

But he knew that Li Le was not interested in gambling on stones and did not like it.

"I don't know either, I just want to buy this rough stone." Li Le said with a wry smile and shrugged.

"Uh! Okay then! As long as you like it." What else could Li Hao say.

In fact, Li Le was also doing an experiment. Last time, he got two pieces of good jade at Pangu Hotel.

Many people say that Li Le is lucky, but only he himself knows that it is not the case.

Because when Li Le saw the two raw stones, his heart was touched, so he bought them.

This kind of trigger appeared again this time, so Li Le bid the price.

"three million."

Hearing this voice, Li Le frowned, because the owner of this voice was none other than Hu Jin.

"Five million." Li Le shouted.

"Six million."

Li Le glanced at Hu Jin, then raised his sign and shouted, "Ten million."

"Eleven million."

"Twenty million." After shouting, Li Le turned to Hu Jin and mouthed, "Add more!"

To be honest, the price of 20 million is not really high, but it depends on what is being filmed.

Just like the necklace just now, the last 50 million was won by Li Le.

But it is something valuable, because everyone knows it is worth money, and 150 million is not a lot.

But what we are photographing now is a rough stone, and no one knows whether there is anything inside it. It is very likely that this is just a piece of stone with nothing inside.

So in this case, the price of this raw stone is a bit high.

"Twenty million times."

"Twenty million times."

"Is there anything higher than 20 million?"

The auctioneer asked and looked around the room, but no one was interested.

Then he shouted, "Twenty million three times, deal."

"Li Le, you spent 20 million to buy a piece of raw stone, what do you think?"

You should know that the quality of this raw stone is not good. Although it is material from an old mine, it does not mean that the material from an old mine must contain jade.

It's just that the probability is a little higher. You know, it is normal to find nothing in the materials from many old mines.

"What's the matter? Is there a problem?" Li Le asked.

"This one isn't in great condition, not as good as the ones I had at Pangu Hotel before!"

What Li Hao said was correct. If one only looked at the appearance, this piece of raw stone was indeed not as good as the ones from Pangu Hotel last time.

But you can’t just look at the appearance of this thing! This is an old material from more than 30 years ago, and it is probably rare to see it now.

They are all raw stones from old mines, so how can the current ones be compared with the previous ones?

In fact, none of this matters. What Li Le cares about is the feeling in his heart.

At this moment, the auctioneer said, "Now, please welcome the third item."

A girl in a cheongsam came up with a tray, which was also covered with a red cloth, so no one knew what was underneath.

But there is one thing, that is, this item is not big, even very small, because the red cloth is almost flat on the tray.

And it won’t be heavy anymore, as you can see from the way the girl holds it as if it’s nothing.

"This lot was provided by a private collector. It is a painting of a solitary wild goose in the setting sun by Tang Yin and Tang Bohu."

"After being authenticated by several experts, this painting is authentic."

"What the hell?" Li Le shouted in surprise.

"What's the matter, Li Le?"

"It's okay." Li Le shook his head.

It was not because of anything else, but because he also had a painting of setting sun and solitary wild goose in his hand, and it had been authenticated by Uncle Guan and Grandpa Liu and was absolutely authentic.

In this case, the only possibility is where this authentic painting came from. It’s just that the forgery technology is so advanced that many experts cannot tell the difference.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these experts are just experts, or to put it bluntly, they are just half-full bottles.

This is very interesting. I wonder what would happen if I took pictures of fake products here.

"Li Hao, what do you think would happen if we photographed a fake product here?"

Li Hao was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "If it's fake, then it's fake. You can't blame anyone if you didn't see it clearly."

"But the organizer said this is real and has been authenticated by experts?" Li Le continued to ask.

"Uh! I don't know about that either, but it probably won't be of much use, because it's up to you whether to take the photo or not. The organizers aren't forcing you to take the photo."

"Okay, I understand." Li Le nodded.

"Li Le, you won't say this painting is fake, right?" Li Hao reacted.

"Who knows!" Li Le shrugged.

At this time, the auctioneer said again: "Because this painting is of high value, those who are interested can come up and take a look at it in person."

Hearing the auctioneer say this, Li Le said to Li Hao: "Let's go up and take a look."

"Ah! You want to take a photo too?"

"You'll know in a moment." Li Le smiled and didn't explain.

He definitely did this on purpose. Didn't Hu Jin always go against him? So he was going to dig a trap.

In fact, there is no need at all, because Hu Jin is really interested in this painting.

Li Le and Li Hao hadn't moved yet! Hu Jin had already run up.

Seeing this, Li Le became even happier and stood up and walked towards the stage.

Li Le had already gone there, what else could Li Hao do? Of course he followed him up to take a look.

Even if it's just to join in the fun!

When Li Le arrived in front of the painting, there were already many people there, and Li Le also saw an acquaintance. Yes, this acquaintance was Mr. Lang.

However, Li Le did not disturb Mr. Lang because Mr. Lang was looking at paintings at that time.

"Hey, Li Le, are you interested in this painting?"

Mr. Lang spotted Li Le and asked quickly because he was worried that Li Le would snatch it from him.

If it was someone else, Mr. Lang would not be afraid, but if this person was Li Le, he would really be unsure.

At this moment, Hu Jin was not far from him. Li Le glanced at Hu Jin and said to Mr. Lang, "Yes, I am interested."

"Ah! This..." Mr. Lang smiled bitterly.

Soon everyone finished watching, including Li Le, and Li Le watched it very carefully.

To be honest, this painting looks really real, and it is exactly the same as Li Le's painting.

But there are also differences, that is, the seals on the paintings. Li Le remembers clearly that there are a total of eleven seals of different sizes on the painting in his hand.

There were only nine seals on this painting, and the name on one of the seals was not something Li Le saw on the painting in his hand.

Soon everyone returned to their seats, and the auctioneer said, "The starting price for this painting of Sunset and Solitary Wild Goose is 500 million yuan, and each bid must not be less than 1 million. The bidding will begin now."

"Five hundred and ten million."

"Five hundred and fifty million."

"five……"

Before the man could finish his shout, Li Le raised his sign and shouted, "One billion."

Li Le's voice immediately attracted the attention of the entire auction hall.

Who would bid like that? Others were bidding by tens or hundreds of millions, but he just bid one billion directly.

That’s equivalent to adding more than 400 million yuan all at once. This is not the way to spend money even if you have money!
"Li Le, you..."

Li Hao was about to say something, but Li Le glared at him and he stopped talking.

The big guys sitting in the front, especially Mr. Lang, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

He no longer had the heart to bid. It had just begun, but Li Le had already called out a price of 1 billion yuan. It was obvious that he was determined to win.

Li Le deliberately gave others this feeling, otherwise why would he shout out 1 billion!
Sure enough, as soon as Li Le finished speaking, he heard Hu Jin shout, "1.1 billion."

"1.5 billion." Li Le continued to shout.

When he called out the price, the entire auction hall was filled with gasps.

Because 1.5 billion is really too high. Although Tang Yin's painting was auctioned for a maximum of 3.6 billion, it was only that one painting.

Other paintings were not sold at such a high price, but since someone has called for this price, this painting will definitely not be sold at a price lower than this in the future.

If others were just sighing, then Hu Jin was different. He now wished he could eat Li Le.

Because in his opinion, if Li Le had not bid, he could have bought the painting for at most 1 billion yuan.

But he had no idea that even if Li Le hadn't bid, he wouldn't be able to get the 1 billion.

You should know that there are a lot of big shots here today. Although these people do not appear on the rich list, their wealth is higher than those on the list.

It was unknown whether it was out of spite or he really wanted to take the picture, Hu Jin gritted his teeth and shouted, "Two billion."

He didn't believe that Li Lehe offered a higher price than him, and he had also made up his mind that if Li Le offered again, he would not take it.

Because in his opinion, this painting is not worth 2 billion at all, it is only worth 1.5 or 1.6 billion at most.

Unfortunately, he didn't know that the painting was fake. If it was real, Li Le would have raised the price even if it was 2.5 billion, let alone 2 billion.

I had never studied Tang Yin’s paintings before, but since I got two of Tang Yin’s paintings, Li Le has been studying them every day!

Only then did I discover that "Setting Clouds and Solitary Wild Goose" was actually Tang Yin's best work, ranking first among all his paintings.

The second one is the Picture of Autumn Wind and Silk Fan. Now these two paintings are in Li Le's hands. As for their value, to be honest, Li Le doesn't know either.

Anyway, he believed that it was definitely worth more than 2.5 billion because it was a priceless treasure.

He originally wanted to sell it, but after researching it, he decided not to sell it.

Although tens of billions are a lot, to Li Le, it is nothing because he is not short of money at all.

"Since Mr. Hu likes this painting so much, I'll give it to you." Li Le stood up and said.

Hearing him say this, Hu Jin was stunned for a moment and didn't understand what Li Le meant.

Mr. Lang also didn't understand. He didn't think that Li Le couldn't afford the price.

There must be something he doesn't know. Let's go back and ask!

"Two billion at a time."

"Anyone else want to raise the price?"

"Two billion twice."

"Is there anything higher than two billion?"

It seems that the auctioneer is not very satisfied with the price.

Yes, this is Tang Yin's authentic work! And it is the number one painting, but it was only sold for 2 billion, which is indeed a bit too little.

But no one raised the price, so there was nothing she could do!
All he could do was continue shouting, "Are there any bidders? If not, then this painting belongs to this gentleman."

"Hurry up and shout! Then move on to the next item."

Hearing the shouting from the audience, the auctioneer had no choice but to shout, "Two billion for the third time, sold."

There was no way. Actually, Li Le wanted to raise the price a little more, but he was afraid that Hu Jin didn't know the value of the goods. What if he didn't raise the price any more?

This was also the reason why he asked Li Hao those questions before. If a fake product was found, the organizer would compensate him, and Li Le would definitely increase the price.

However, the organizer will not provide any compensation, and these items are provided by companies and individuals.

It’s easy to deal with if it’s a company, but if it’s provided by a private person, you may not even know who provided it.

It’s not that the bidders don’t know, but that the organizers may not know either.

Use a fake name, or ask someone else to send it for you to take photos, who do you want to contact?

I guess this is also the reason why the organizer did not compensate.

If this happens at a regular auction house, if you get a fake, you can ask the auction house for compensation.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite here, that is, the goods have been authenticated by the auction house and an authentication certificate has been issued.

If not, then you can only ask the consignor, who is the original owner of the item, for compensation.

However, this kind of thing rarely happens. Unless there is an appraisal certificate or other proof that it is authentic, the auction house will not re-appraise it.

Otherwise, after entering the auction house, the auction house will conduct an appraisal, and if it is fake, it will not be auctioned at all.

Of course, this refers to regular auction houses. There are also some not-so-regular auction houses that even specialize in auctioning fakes.

Then they make huge profits, and there are many such things.

"Congratulations, Mr. Hu, for taking the picture of setting sun and solitary wild goose." Li Le shouted from here.

"Tsk, a bumpkin is a bumpkin. Why don't you continue bidding? Are you out of money?" Hu Jin said excitedly.

"Alas, a country bumpkin like me, how can I compare with Mr. Hu? You are a rich man!"

"Hmph! Then..."

"Now, please welcome the fourth lot."

Just when Hu Jin was about to say something, the auctioneer spoke, interrupting what Hu Jin was about to say.

Another girl in cheongsam came out carrying a tray.

Moreover, Li Le discovered that among the four girls wearing cheongsams who came out earlier, none of them were the same.

That is, there are four people.

It seems that the organizers are really rich. It’s just a matter of delivering things to the stage, and it’s not tiring.

There's no need for so many people! If one isn't enough, two will do, right?

Now four have appeared, and we don’t know how many will appear next. It’s really like having money but nowhere to spend it.

In fact, Li Le misunderstood. The girls wearing cheongsams who came up to deliver the auction items today were not hired for money at all, but were hotel waiters.

Since it's all work and we don't have to spend much money, of course we can spend as much as the hotel can.

And these waiters are also happy to accept this job, so this situation arises.

“The following lot was provided by a private collector.”

PS: Love is always there no matter how far we are apart. Can you give me a monthly ticket? Thank you!
