After 20 minutes of appreciation and rest, the auction continued.
The chubby auctioneer stood on the stage and announced loudly: "The bidding for Lot No. 30 "Luo Shen Fu" is now open. The starting price is 200 million, with an increase of 1 million each time. Buyers are invited to bid."
"300 million!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, the bidding sign No. 001 was raised, and the bidder was Wei Dabao from the capital.
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of noise from the crowd.
"Damn it, Mr. Wei is such a tough guy, he actually raised the price by 100 million?"
"It's really crazy. Isn't Wei Dabao the seller or the auction house who hired him?"
"You're kidding, who can hire Mr. Wei as a trustee? Besides, you can just increase the price by 100 million if you act as a trustee?"
"Don't worry, have you seen the beautiful woman sitting behind? This is the eldest lady of the Cheng family, who is famous in the antique world. Let's just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers and tigers!"
Buyer No. 88 raised his sign again: "310 million!"
Buyer No. 19 raised a sign: "320 million!"
Buyer No. 005 raised a sign: "350 million!"
"400000000!"
Zhu Changan decided to experience the feeling of being a supporter, and couldn't help but raise the sign in his hand and directly raise the price by 50 million.
Everyone present immediately cast curious glances at him, wondering who this guy who suddenly raised the price by 50 million was?
The host announced loudly: "Buyer No. 76 offers 400 million, is there anyone else who bids?"
Buyer No. 88 raised his sign again: "401 million."
Wei Dabao's team raised the sign again: "450 million!"
There was a burst of noise from the crowd. Everyone present was impressed by Wei Shao's strong financial resources. He single-handedly raised the price of this "Luo Shen Fu" by 150 million.
"Buyer No. 1 bids 450 million. Is there any other bidder?" the auctioneer shouted at the top of his lungs.
The scene was completely silent. The current price has more than doubled compared to the auction price. Not everyone can afford nearly 500 million yuan.
"Buyer No. 1 bids 450 million once. Is there any other bidder?"
"Buyer No. 1 bids 450 million twice. Is there any other bidder?"
Zhu Changan wanted to raise the price, but was afraid that no one would follow.
Moreover, Cheng Mei did not give herself any instructions. She could only turn to look at Cheng Yinuo, who was several rows behind her, hoping that she could give her some hints.
In fact, the reason why Cheng Mei did not give instructions to Zhu Changan was because she was not sure whether any buyers would follow up after the price increase?
Her psychological price for "Luo Shen Fu" is 400 million. The current price has exceeded her psychological expectations. She is also afraid that the boss will ask for the price and it will be lost in her hands.
If this "Luo Shen Fu" can be sold for 400 million, plus more than 50 other items, this auction will be enough to earn more than 600 million, which will definitely be considered a good start.
But if "Luo Shen Fu" was smashed into her hands, then this first auction would be a complete failure, so she did not dare to gamble and did not dare to give instructions to Zhu Changan.
Just when Zhu Changan turned his head, Cheng Yinuo took action.
She stretched out her thick and thin arms, held up the bid number 111 and shouted: "460 million."
There was a buzz among the crowd, and it was obvious that many people were a little disappointed with the famous Miss Cheng.
"Miss Cheng only added 10 million. This is not like the 'ancient painting harvester' who was rumored to spend a lot of money!"
"Yeah, I thought Miss Cheng would have to raise the price by at least 50 million to meet her status, but it only increased by 10 million."
"You don't know, don't you? I have inside information. The Cheng family only wants ancient paintings with any of the homophones of 'Phoenix Nirvana' in the title of the painting, so this "Luo Shen Fu" is not very valuable to the Cheng family. .”
"What is the reason?"
"Then I don't know. Just keep watching the fun. Anyway, the price is close to 500 million. This "Luo Shen Fu" is also a sky-high price."
The auctioneer stretched his neck again and shouted: "Buyer No. 111 bids 460 million once, but no buyer has bid yet?"
"Buyer No. 111 bid 460 million twice. Is there any other bidder?"
Zhu Changan became a little anxious when he saw that Wei Dabao, who was sitting in the front with a mohawk and a jacket and was surrounded by more than a dozen bodyguards, was motionless.
"Wori, Luoshen Fu won't fall into Cheng Yinuo's hands, right? Fortunately, I didn't bid just now."
Zhu Changan was a little happy, but also a little worried.
If it falls into the hands of Cheng Yinuo, not only will the 5 million deposit be thrown away, but it will also affect the next auction of "Luo Shen Fu".
Because this shows that the value of this picture is less than 450 million. Not to mention that the second auction will require a lot of manpower and material resources, the price may not exceed 400 million.
Zhu Changan turned his head to look at Cheng Yinuo with some worry, and saw that she was already looking at her phone calmly, as if she was not the one who made the bid just now.
"Buyer No. 111 made three bids. Is there any more..."
Three minutes later, the auctioneer's beep sounded again, and Zhu Changan became a little desperate.
According to the rules, as long as he utters four more words, the hammer in his hand will fall and the deal will be completed.
The people at the auction house will not care whether you are a trustee or not. They will either pay to take delivery of the goods or confiscate the deposit.
At this moment, Wei Shao, who was sitting in the front row, finally spoke: "470 million."
The auctioneer shouted happily: "Buyer No. 1 bids 470 million, is there any other bidder?"
"Huh...scared me to death."
Zhu Changan breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Cheng Yinuo: "Sister, please don't lift it, otherwise the string will break."
Cheng Yinuo did not reply to Zhu Changan and continued to play with his phone as if he had not seen the message.
"Buyer No. 1 bids 470 million once. Is there any other bidder?"
The auctioneer calls out the price every three minutes, "Buyer No. 1 bids 470 million twice. Is there any other bidder?"
Just when the auctioneer shouted for the third time, Cheng Yinuo took action again.
"Buyer No. 111 bids 480 million. Is there any other bidder?"
The auctioneer is like a robot repeating words with different numbers, as if he never tires of it.
Indeed, for every additional ten million yuan, he can get a commission of 100,000 yuan, and the commission rate is as high as 10%. How can he not dance with excitement.
The seller of this "Luo Shen Fu" set a reserve price of 300 million. When the auction price exceeds this price, he can get a commission of 10%.
At present, this ancient painting has been sold for 480 million yuan, which means that he has received a commission of 1.8 million yuan.
Although you are the chief auctioneer of Jiebang Auction House, this income is already quite a lot for him.
This time, Wei Dabao still didn't rush to bid. He didn't raise his bidding card until the auctioneer shouted for the third time.
"490 million."
The auctioneer shouted excitedly: "Buyer No. 1 bids 490 million, is there any other bidder?"
As if responding to Buyer No. 1, Cheng Yinuo did not rush to bid. He continued to play with his mobile phone as if nothing had happened, and even handed over the task of raising a sign to raise bids to Bai Qian beside him.
At this moment, the top management of Jiebang Auction House felt a little regretful. If they had known that this "Luo Shen Fu" could fetch such a high price, they should have set the deposit to 10 million or even higher to prevent buyers from giving up after winning the bid.
The auctioneer lost his composure and changed the content of his second bid: "Buyer No. 1 bid 490 million twice. Buyer No. 111, do you still want to increase the bid? If not, then this Eastern Jin Dynasty painting The great painter Gu Kaizhi's "Ode to the Goddess of Luo" belongs to the number one buyer!"
"500 million!"
At this moment, Mr. Wang, who was in the middle of everyone's discussion, came out, holding the bidding sign No. 100 and loudly bidding, "I will offer 500 million!"
"Okay, I made another fifty million!"
Zhu Changan clenched his fists happily in celebration. Cheng Yinuo was indeed a qualified agent, and he knew how to raise prices with ease.
The auctioneer was so happy that he shouted at the top of his lungs: "Buyer No. 100 bids 500 million, and..."
But before he finished speaking, Wei Shao, who had been as steady as a rock, suddenly jumped up holding a sign: "I offer 600 million!"
"600 million, 600 million, 600 million!"
The auctioneer stretched his neck and shouted, as excited as if all the 600 million could be put into his pocket, "Buyer No. 1 bids 600 million, is there any increase in the price from the boss?"
