Chapter 102 The Christie's Auction

As one of the world's famous art auction houses, Christie's auction house brings together rare artworks, famous watches, jewelry, cars and famous wines from all over the world. Its offices are located in 90 major cities around the world. Auctions are held regularly at 16 locations around the world.

Among them, Christie's in Hong Kong launches two 5-day auctions every year, at the end of May and the end of November respectively.

On May 2013, 5, the last day of Christie's auction in Hong Kong.

In this "Asian 50th Century and Contemporary Art" auction, 45 of the 4 lots were sold, with a total turnover of 1495 million Hong Kong dollars. The total turnover rate was 90% based on items and 91% based on turnover.

At this time, the two huge LED screens in the auction hall had finished displaying the auction items, and replaced them with Christie's LOGO as the framed picture.And the auctioneer on the stage was also packing up the materials and handing them over to the on-site management personnel.

The original seats were full, and the collectors and entrepreneurs who participated in the auction either returned with full rewards or lost with regret, but none of them enjoyed a visual feast of art and left with a sense of spiritual abundance.

After the ringing of the phone completely fell silent, the entire auction hall suddenly became abnormally quiet. There were only a few groups of buyers left on the scene, sitting calmly in their original positions, holding a tablet in their hands and constantly flipping through the materials. The assistant was on the phone in a low voice, leaning into their boss's ear to report the situation from time to time.

If Carlos was there, he would definitely recognize that the youngest bidder who is still in the auction hall is the former president of the student union who should have been far away in Central America. Sitting seriously next to a middle-aged man who seems to be his father, and next door to his father is He Sheng, a famous Hong Kong and Macau entrepreneur who is known as the "Macau Gambling King".

"Uncle Biao, isn't the auction over? What are we still doing here? The quality of this auction is too low, and several consortiums didn't bid."

The gambler known as Uncle Biao smiled, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes made him look more kind.

"Because the real auction hasn't started yet."

"Varied……"

The chairman didn't finish his sentence, because he seemed to see some incredible scene, and he looked behind the gambling king in a daze.The shocked expressions of his nephew and son made the two men present turn their heads and follow his line of sight.

I saw that the door of the auction hall was opened from the outside. Two foreign bodyguards with huge bodies and bulging muscles, who could not hide their ferocious expressions even wearing sunglasses, stood by the door, one on the left and one on the right, with their hands behind their backs, and then Escorted by two teams of black-clothed bodyguards, a young man who was as handsome as a god descended from the earth, dressed in British casual clothes, strolled leisurely as if strolling in his own back garden. His appearance broke the desolate aura created by the big men, Followed by a few agents who looked particularly elite.

"Why is he here!"

The voice of the president gnashing his teeth caught the attention of the gambling king.

"No matter what the holidays are between you, now, what you should do is keep smiling."

"Yingjie, do you know the young man in the lead?"

The chairman's father turned slightly to block his son, leaving some space for the young man to manage his expressions.

"Carlos West, an American exchange student from our school."

Lowering his head slightly, the president hid his slightly ferocious expression.

Damn, what the hell is this guy doing!The show is too big!He still obtained the qualification to enter the auction house through his uncle's relationship, but his own nemesis actually swaggered and brought the whole team in with arrogance?

The president's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that he stepped on a particularly deeply hidden mine?

On the other side, the gambling king looked nonchalantly at the pile of brokers holding document packages, and moved his fingers on the armchair.The assistant who had been behind the three quickly opened the database on the tablet and handed it to the gambling king.

"Barnett Ban, British, the most outstanding financial broker in the United States, is currently employed by the simulation group. It can be said to be the CEO. It is interesting that such a character is standing behind the young man. There is no information about that person ?”

Pushing the tablet back into the assistant's hand, the gambling king asked casually.

"Sorry, He Sheng, we only got wind of this auction a month ago, and we haven't collected complete information about the consortium participating in the auction."

Let it go lightly, it can be regarded as exposing this topic.

As a rookie in the United States, the simulation group, he has also known, is a mysterious private ownership group with amazing financial resources, and is on good terms with the Hoffman family.As far as the current situation is concerned, even if the young man opposite is not the person in power, he is very likely to be the successor.

My nephew is still too young and impulsive, so I need to mention one or two points.

After Carlos and his party took their seats not far from the Gambler King, in the next 15 minutes, 6 groups of brand new bidders appeared one after another. Maybe the chairman couldn't recognize them all, but the Gambler King and the club who had been active in the upper class all the time. His father recognized all the people who came after him.

The world's top tycoons and collectors actually attended this auction in person.

The gambler exchanged glances with several Hong Kong businessmen who have stayed in the watch auction until now. It seems that this auction will become a real war without gunpowder smoke, and everything can only be talked about by money.

----------

After all the bidders were seated, the auction hall was locked from the inside by the staff, and the large LED had already displayed the details of the first lot, and listed the exchange value of various currencies.At the same time, two staff members in uniform also carefully lifted the lot to the display stand, so that all bidders can intuitively appreciate the charm of the artwork.

There were only about 10 bidders in the audience, and the few auction items that appeared in front of them were all foreign private collections of art, or some cultural relics obtained through abnormal channels.In this regard, Carlos showed a lack of interest. He rested his chin on one hand with a bored face, and scratched with the other hand on the tablet provided by the consultant, showing the list of auction items.

"Lot No. 698, 'Bronze Tathagata Statue', the Buddha statue is about 38 centimeters high. It was made in the Korean Peninsula around the 8th century. It was designated as a national important cultural property by Japan in 1974. The auction starts at HK$800 million."

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, someone added it to 900 million. This impatient imposing manner and the typical Japanese English blurted out clearly told everyone that this entrepreneur was bound to win the repurchase of cultural relics in his country.

Smiling and bending his eyes, Carlos turned his head slightly to talk to Mr. Consultant.

"That thing had a particularly rough life. It was stolen once in 1995. Although it was recovered that year, it was stolen again last year. I don't know if it's because the security work is too sloppy, or it's like Japanese comics. They can fly to the sky and escape from the ground. This time, it’s okay. You don’t need to waste manpower to find it, just buy it back at the auction house. I don’t know if they have enough money. This world is very malicious. In other words, the Japanese are very special. Patriotic, especially united, what do you think?"

Maybe it was because he spent most of his childhood with Jacob. When Carlos talked about Japan, he unconsciously picked up the arrogant tone unique to the young master, and he insisted on speaking a few ordinary English words full of irony.

Facing his boss's intermittent convulsions, Mr. Consultant kept his eyes straight and lifted his chin slightly.Oh, in a flat tone, obviously not wanting to start a conversation.

"Don't believe me? I'll prove it to you."

Fuck!His boss wants to make trouble again!Before the consultant could reach out Erkang's hand, Carlos picked up the signboard with the number 69 printed in bright red in front of him.

Yes, it matches his style very well. Carlos is very satisfied with this number.

"1000."

Those who heard Carlos's voice for the first time in the auction hall all looked over at the same silky tone.When his appearance was exposed to people's sight, collectors who have always pursued art and beauty had to marvel at this perfect face carefully crafted by God.

Several ladies blushed on the spot, asking their assistants about the identity and background of the young man.

There was a little commotion at the scene.

The Gambler's team not far from Carlos heard the whole process of what he said just now, and after roughly understanding the deep meaning, He Sheng also signaled his assistant to raise his card, and stretched out two fingers.

"1200."

His eyes lit up, and Carlos looked at He Sheng, who was smiling Mimi. He was very kind. He picked up the red wine glass on the table and toasted lightly from the air.The two foxes, one big and one small, smiled tacitly.

To be fair, this bronze Buddha statue, in terms of appearance, is indeed hard to impress the hearts of foreign collectors present.Rather than saying that the value of the Buddha statue itself as a cultural relic is high, it is better to say that it is of great significance to Japan. When it was stolen for the first time, its market value was about 1 million yen, which is equivalent to about 600 million soft sister coins. .

The second time it was stolen, it was smuggled out of Japan.To be honest, Japan wants to die so much that it wants to buy it back, otherwise it will not only be the loss of cultural property, but more importantly, the country's face will be damaged.

It was just that he could see the eagerness of the other party, not to mention that there was a deal with Gao Ren to share the spoils, but the malicious and patriotic Pineapple General Attack had already made up his mind, and Hao Hao would not carelessly raise the price.Anyway, I am a British citizen now, so if I have the ability to hit me!

"1300 million!"

Japanese entrepreneurs followed the gambling king and raised placards for quotations.It seems that in his eyes, only this legendary Chinese is their greatest opponent.

Seeing that the bidding price of the two men broke through the 1 million mark in less than a minute, other collectors who were not interested in Buddha statues gathered around enthusiastically.While drinking red wine, communicating with the assistants around me, I feel very comfortable.

After 2000 million, the increase in the quotations of gambling kings and Japanese entrepreneurs has shrunk significantly, only increasing by hundreds of thousands each time.Not to mention that the assistants on the Japanese side were eagerly on the phone, and they spat out their mouths, but the chairman and his father beside the gambling king also became serious.

"Cousin-in-law, be careful of pitfalls."

"Haha, don't be afraid, I'm just a small appetizer, and the master hasn't played yet."

He Sheng's expression remained unchanged. After speaking in a low voice, he turned to look at the Japanese entrepreneur, showed a friendly smile, and put down the signboard to express his indisputability.

The other party smiled gratefully, put down the cards, and waited for the auctioneer to strike the gavel.

"2150 million for the first time, 2150 million for the second time..."

"3000."

The original noble and elegant English cracked the Japanese entrepreneur's smug smile, and he stared at Carlos who was lazily holding up his sign with his small eyes.

As a small supporting role in the same scene as his boss, Mr. Consultant perfectly HOLD his elite face.But his heart had already collapsed, he wished he could immediately tie this guy who loves to work back to the little black room.

"Boss, you are playing so big right now, wait for your white moonlight to come out, beware of being besieged."

"Barnett, you underestimate other people's patriotism. Just double it. Even if you give up all the subsequent auctions, Little Japan will definitely eat this Buddha statue. Moreover, my opponent has never been them. You should be present Are all the gods dead? Everyone has the same goal."

As expected of being from the same country, the two of them maintained the integrity of their smiles to a high degree, without moving their mouths, they directly transmitted the sound to their ears.

"3030 million!"

Carlos glanced at the blushing Japanese entrepreneur with disdain, and Carlos raised his sign calmly.

"3500."

"3520 million!"

After another 20 was squeezed out, the other party looked at Carlos with eyes that could kill people, and his mouth kept talking rapidly.

"What is he talking about?"

The distance is a bit far, no, this is actually an excuse, the point is that Carlos can't understand Japanese and can't understand it.

Keeping an eye on the confrontation between the two sides, the gambler turned the tablet in his hand to Carlos’s position, and there were two lines of specially enlarged English in it, which roughly read: Carlos’ bottom line will apply for a comprehensive boycott of his production and operation in Japan when he returns to China. economic blockade.

Blinking innocently, Carlos said to the consultant very innocently.

"I don't plan to go to Japan to develop at all. What kind of heart is he doing? If you don't have money, don't be fat, 3900 million."

Without suppressing his voice at all, Carlos's complaints were relayed by the Japanese entrepreneur's own translator, which completely ignited the other party's patriotic heart, and pushed the price up to 4000 million Hong Kong dollars in one breath. More than 5.6 million yen.

With a transaction price that far exceeded the budget, he finally bought the "Bronze Statue of Tathagata". However, at this moment, the Japanese entrepreneur is already sweating profusely, his face is pale, and he looks as if he will not be able to pay a visit at any time.No matter what handed down cultural relics appear in the future, they have nothing to do with them. Thanks to Tuo Carlos, the funds brought by him have been completely emptied.

Not to mention the Japanese entrepreneurs, the chairman who watched the whole process of Carlos digging holes and raising prices is also uncomfortable. Damn, this is a beast of a completely different level from himself. The United States came to China as an exchange student!

If you have money, you have the right to say it early!What to do if you get hurt by mistake!

My baby is suffering!But the baby can't tell!
