After the rules are introduced, the auction begins.
The first thing to go up for auction was "Luncheon by the Seine" by Renoir, the master of impressionist art.
When this oil painting appeared on the big-screen TV, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately at the scene and in the live broadcast room.
"Wow! It's a masterpiece by the master of art Renoir. Sean's handiwork is really big."
"I like this impressionistic masterpiece, so I want to compete for it, just in case I win it!"
Julia Roberts said through gritted back molars.
For her, it was somewhat reluctant to win this top-notch piece of art worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
But there is no way, who made her like this oil painting.
Really unable to give up, she could only tighten her belt and bid.
Hearing Julia's words, several superstars nearby immediately cast envious glances.
They also liked this top-notch piece of art, but they were short of money and had no choice but to give it up.
In other words, they are not even qualified to compete.
You know your own affairs best.
This Impressionist oil painting is estimated to be as high as $120 million, and the auction price can only be higher.
Even among Hollywood's top stars, few can afford such a large sum of cash.
The entire net worth of quite a few of them is not worth the value of this oil painting.
Only superstars like Julia Roberts, who have been popular for decades, have some confidence.
For Mary and Griffin, as well as several other top collectors, this problem does not exist.
They have a lot of money, and they are willing to spend a lot of money on the top-notch art they like.
The guys in the collector's live broadcast room are all sharpening their knives.
"Hurry up and start! Xiao Ran, my boss wants this painting "Lunch by the Seine""
A guy in the collector's live broadcast room said excitedly, looking like he was determined to win.
Because the price of this oil painting was too high, the rich second generation people in the No. 1 live broadcast room also stopped.
Like other fans, they have become spectators.
Just as everyone was talking about it, Xiao Ran suddenly whispered through the microphone:
"Remind everyone that this painting "Luncheon by the Seine" by Renoir has an auction reserve price."
"And the reserve price is higher than the US$120 million I gave before. If you don't have enough strength, don't get messed up."
"In that case, it will only delay time unnecessarily, without any benefit. I hope everyone can cooperate."
Before he finished speaking, many fans in the live broadcast room had already responded.
"No problem, Xiao Ran. This is not your first time bidding. You won't jump out and make trouble when you are full and have nothing to do."
Juntian 999 said aloud.
"Don't worry, everyone wants to see their favorite baby up for auction as soon as possible, and no one wants to delay it."
It was dark and he didn’t sleep, so he continued.
While he was talking, Miller had finished introducing this Impressionist oil painting.
Then, his conversation suddenly changed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, you can bid now. Use your mobile phone to send us your quotation and name. The number will be on the big screen."
"Buyers in the live broadcast room can bid through private messages. Before the bidding is opened, we will make the auction reserve price public."
Before he finished speaking, the buyers who were interested in this oil painting took out their mobile phones one after another and started to make quotations.
The guys in the Collector’s live broadcast room made offers through private messages.
Because this Impressionist masterpiece was so expensive, not many buyers were able to compete.
Within a short time, Miller had received seven or eight offers.
In the collector's live broadcast room, there were more private messages with quotations, reaching more than twenty.
This is normal, after all, there are more domestic collectors and wealthy people in the collectors live broadcast room.
After getting the offers, Miller didn't immediately check them out.
He asked again and again if anyone had submitted an offer.
After confirming that no one had submitted any more bids, he announced the auction reserve price.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this painting "Luncheon by the Seine" by the Impressionist master Renoir has an auction reserve price of US$130 million."
"That is to say, any offer lower than this reserve price is invalid, while any offer higher than this reserve price is valid."
"Next, we will open all the bids and review them. The one with the highest bid that is higher than the auction reserve price will win."
As he spoke, David came to him to supervise the bidding opening.
At the same time, the scene and live broadcast room were all boiling.
"The auction reserve price is US$130 million. This guy Sean is so shady. He won't give him any chance!"
Julia Roberts lamented in disappointment.
Needless to say, the veteran superstar's bid was less than $130 million and was a void offer.
In other words, she instantly lost her qualifications to compete.
"Fuck! Xiao Ran's knife is too fast and too cruel!"
"After this private auction, you must have made crazy profits!"
The big dog owner exclaimed, that's called envy.
Although he is a second-generation rich man with a huge fortune, he does not have the ability to participate in this level of competition. He can only watch and covet!
In the blink of an eye, the bid opening work was completed without any flaws.
Miller had also received the highest offer, but this guy was stunned for a moment.
After a moment of pause, he excitedly announced the bidding results.
"The highest bid came from a Chinese collector, quoting US$186.2 million."
"This buyer is from Shenzhen, China, and his representative gave an offer via private message in the live broadcast room."
Before he finished speaking, a screenshot of the quotation appeared on the big screen TV in the living room.
This result was beyond the expectations of most people present.
These guys at the scene thought that the person who finally won this top-notch piece of art would most likely be Mary or Griffin, or other top collectors at the scene.
But who would have imagined that the winner of the bid was actually a Chinese buyer thousands of miles away.
While feeling surprised, these guys at the scene also had a new understanding of the strength of Chinese buyers.
The disdain in the eyes of the few guys who originally didn't bother to bid with the fans in the live broadcast room disappeared in an instant.
In the United States, a society where money is paramount, having money is king and having money is the boss!
For various reasons, these Americans may discriminate against some people, but no one dares to look down on money!
Even Griffin, who is worth tens of billions of dollars, is a little surprised by the result of this competition.
He turned to look at Xiao Ran and said with a little regret:
"I was careless and underestimated my enemy, Sean, and ended up missing out on this exciting top-notch piece of art."
"I didn't expect the number of fans in your live broadcast room to be so strong. I have to take it seriously, otherwise I might end up empty-handed today."
Before Xiao Ran could respond, Mary, who was sitting nearby, intervened.
"I have seen the strength of the fans in Sean's live broadcast before. It is indeed amazing and very generous."
"Griffin, you have to be more vigilant, otherwise today is very likely to be a complete failure and you won't be able to take any good pictures."
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then said proudly:
"Mary, Griffin, let me remind you that there are already nearly 200 fans in my collector's live broadcast room."
"Behind every fan, there is a top Chinese collector, rich man, or even a cultural institution."
"These top collectors and rich people have a lot of money and are willing to spend a lot of money on their collections. You must be careful."
Upon hearing this, Griffin's eyes suddenly lit up, like two searchlights.
He instantly realized how valuable Xiao Ran's collector's live broadcast room was!
At the same time, he also thought that if he could establish a relationship with these wealthy Chinese people and top collectors in the live broadcast room, the Castle Fund would definitely reach a higher level.
But he never thought about whether Xiao Ran was willing to share this resource.
While they were chatting in low voices, the guy who won the bid in the collector's live broadcast room was cheering loudly.
"It's so awesome. This painting "Luncheon by the Seine" by Renoir, the master of impressionist art, now belongs to us!"
Listening to his cheers, the other fans in the collector's live broadcast room felt envious and jealous.
At this moment, the second lot was displayed.
This is a privately customized emerald necklace, dazzling and exotic.
There are a total of thirty-two emeralds of different sizes on the necklace. Each one is top quality, crystal clear and valuable.
With the appearance of this emerald necklace, the breathing of all the female celebrities present suddenly became rapid.
They were all staring at the emerald necklace with so much fascination that their eyes almost turned green!
The female fans in the two live broadcast rooms behaved the same way!
