Chapter 1536: Picked up a loophole
Why do these two people want to provoke Lu Fan when they ask for a price?
Bingxue couldn't understand.
There were many bidders at this auction.
Everyone is here to buy something, and of course they all have to bid.
However, everyone is just here to buy things, not to make enemies. Even if they are competing with others for the same item, there is no need to provoke.
Provoking will only cost you more money.
There is absolutely no need for this.
Everyone pursues harmony and wealth.
Even Bingxue, who is not a businessman and is not very rich, knows this truth.
But neither the old man before nor the big man now seemed to understand this truth.
Not only did they want to bid, not only did they seem certain to win, but they also wanted to provoke Lu Fan.
It's really incomprehensible.
The bidding continued amidst the confusion of ice and snow.
This time the price of Yuan blue and white was even more astonishing than the previous landscape painting, and it didn't take long to reach 300 million.
It was the bald man who called out the price.
And the one who was suppressed by him was none other than Lu Fan, who had an income of 290 million.
However, he didn't seem to be affected by the two provocations. He was still playing with the sign in his hand with great interest, and he was equally active in raising the sign later.
The old man and the bald man were still targeting him, and they each spent hundreds of millions of yuan to steal an auction item from his hands.
However, the two people may have lost their financial resources after that. When Lu Fan raised his sign again, they finally stopped making any move.
"This is one of the classic masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, the greatest artist in the world. The current price is 600 million. Isn't there any more price?"
The auctioneer was also a little dumbfounded.
The premium prices paid for previous auction items made him full of confidence in the painting in his hand.
You know, Leonardo da Vinci has always been a great artist who is very popular among collectors. The most expensive painting in the world today is his "Salvator Mundi". The transaction price at that time was 450 million US dollars, which shocked the whole world.
And many of his paintings are preserved in museums. If they were auctioned, the price would even exceed "Savior of the World", such as "The Last Supper".
So, thinking about it this way, the Leonardo da Vinci painting that appears here should fetch an astronomical figure no matter what.
Even if it's not as much as the US$450 million of "Savior", you still need more than ten to two billion Chinese coins, right?
The auctioneer never expected that the bidding for this painting, which had high hopes, would stall out as soon as it reached 600 million.
There is no doubt that if the final transaction price of this Leonardo da Vinci painting is only 600 million, the person who photographed it will definitely get a big deal.
"We all know that Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" fetched 450 million US dollars. The artistic value of this painting is not far behind that of "Salvator Mundi". I believe there must be huge room for appreciation!"
The auctioneer was still touting desperately.
If someone else takes advantage, he will feel even more uncomfortable than if he suffers a loss.
More importantly, his main job as an auctioneer is to sell the auction items at a premium as much as possible. How can he let others take advantage of it?
"Everyone, everyone, you must think about it carefully. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Once you miss it, you will never come back!"
For the previous auction items, he had already started to prepare to hit the hammer, but this time, no matter what, he couldn't hit it with the hammer.
Lu Fan sat there motionless, as if he didn't care about his exaggeration at all.
The other wealthy people present were very disapproving.
Although the people who can come here are rich people with a net worth of one billion or even tens of billions, their property is mainly fixed assets.
When it comes to cash holdings, even if there are tens of billions of rich people, there are probably not many who can spend one billion.
And cash is of great significance to them.
If they don't have enough cash flow, their business may run into problems at some point.
This Leonardo da Vinci painting is indeed good, and most people believe that this painting can sell for a better price.
But this has nothing to do with them.
It is impossible for them to put down all their cash to buy such a piece of art that is relatively difficult to cash out.
This is life-threatening, they can't do this kind of thing.
Even if the price is raised, they are not willing to get involved casually.
After all, Lu Fan had been very active before, and most of the auction items were raising signs together.
But everyone has also noticed that every time this guy gives up, he is very crisp and clear. It seems that as long as he reaches a certain target price, he will give up decisively.
What if I raise the price and the kid just gives up?
No one dares to take this risk.
"Six hundred million once." All the auctioneer's passion disappeared.
"Two times six hundred million."
He was now like an eggplant wilted by frost, his whole body was weak and lifeless.
The premiums paid by the previous auction items were probably not enough to make this one a loss.
He was thinking that if he waited for the auction to end, he would just run away.
"Three hundred and sixty million times, let us congratulate this young gentleman for getting a big deal!"
The auctioneer's hammer finally came down, announcing that this priceless Leonardo da Vinci painting belonged to Lu Fan.
"Why does this guy look like a dead relative? He wasn't like this before." Bingxue whispered in Lu Fan's ear.
"Maybe this painting is his family heirloom. He probably thought it could be sold for at least 2 billion!" Lu Fan replied.
Bingxue was a little stunned.
She knew that Lu Fan was rich, and she also knew that Da Vinci was powerful.
But she never imagined that for such a painting, someone would dare to think of a high price of two billion.
"Then did you make money?" Bingxue asked.
"It's unreliable to expect money from art." Lu Fan shook his head.
"And actually, I had no intention of taking this painting away at all, so I can't say whether I will make a profit or not."
"You spent hundreds of millions to buy something and you didn't plan to take it away?" Bingxue was completely shocked.
Although she is not a person who loves money, it is still hundreds of millions!
Even if you consider saving, you can’t just throw it away!
"Well, this thing is actually just a stepping stone. The real purpose of our coming here is not just for a painting." Lu Fan said in a low voice.
As the two chatted, the auction officially ended, and everyone who bought something went to the backstage to pay for inspection.
Lu Fan naturally followed along with Bingxue.
At this time, the old man and the bald man who had just raised his price came over with unkind expressions, sandwiching him on the left and right.
