Chapter 148 One hundred and ten million transactions!
Chapter 148 110 million deal!
Not long after He Qing and Lin Haitao returned to the hall, Mr. Zheng arrived, accompanied by several people, who should be the big bosses he introduced to attend the auction.
He Qing walked up to them enthusiastically and said hello to them one by one. After greeting each other, President Lin loudly announced that the auction was about to begin and invited everyone to take a seat.
So everyone sat at the auction seats that had been arranged. He Qing and Mr. Zheng sat at the front. After everyone took their seats, President Lin walked to the showcase and said loudly: "Okay, everyone basically
We are all acquaintances, so don’t say so many polite words. Let the auction officially begin. I will host it. Everything will follow the old rules. In the end, whoever bids the highest will get this authentic painting of Qiu Ying. I believe everyone has seen it clearly just now.
, I know how precious this painting is. As far as I know, there is only one of Qiu Ying's large palace paintings in the collection of the Palace Museum, and I have never seen the others. As for the authenticity of this painting, I don't need to go into details, right? We will
Several masters in the field of calligraphy and painting have unanimously approved it, and I can also guarantee it, so you don't have to worry at all and just bid with confidence."
After a pause, he continued: "The starting price of this "Hunting Picture of the Ming Dynasty" by Qiu Ying is 55 million, and each increase in price cannot be less than 500,000. Friends who like it can bid, everyone has it.
It’s a chance, so don’t rush, it’s best to come one by one and don’t rush to bid to avoid confusion.”
Everyone agreed in unison.
The lowest auction price of 55 million was naturally agreed upon by He Qing and Chairman Lin before. This starting price is very suitable. Qiu Ying's palace paintings cannot be worth only 50 million. The asking price of more than 50 million is not at all
High, acceptable.
"Then bid now!" President Lin raised his head high and lowered his head vigorously, indicating that everyone could bid.
"I'll offer you 60 million!" As soon as President Lin finished his words, he heard someone bidding. The first bid was 60 million, which was a full 5 million higher than the original price. This price increase is definitely not low.
, indicating that that person particularly likes Qiu Ying’s works.
When He Qing heard the bid of 60 million, his heart beat faster. He subconsciously glanced at the boss who first made the bid. It was a strange face that he didn't recognize.
When the bid of 60 million was released, many people in the crowd couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamations, but they soon stopped, and President Lin, who was standing directly in front, nodded with satisfaction.
"I'm offering 61 million!" Another bidder added another million.
"Sixty-two million!" Immediately, someone raised their hands to cover up the bidding sound.
Everyone scrambled to make an offer, all with an increase of at least one million, and no one raised the price by just half a million.
In the blink of an eye, the bidding jumped from the initial 60 million to 70 million. He Qing and Lin Haitao still stood still. Strangely, Mr. Qi and the others also didn't make any move, maybe they were waiting and watching.
"Seventy-five million!"
I don’t know how long it took, but Mr. Qi and the others finally made some movement. The middle-aged man sitting next to Mr. Qi suddenly raised his hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.
Hearing the man's bid, He Qing and Lin Haitao looked at each other, with surprise in their eyes.
"Brother Qing, what should I do? Do you want to follow?" Lin Haitao asked in a low voice.
"Well, follow! If no one follows, you keep following. You can't let him buy it. Even if you lose commission, you can't sell it to him!" He Qing secretly gritted his teeth and said.
Lin Haitao nodded heavily and said, "Well, I know what to do!"
At first, there were still people like Mr. Qi and others who followed the price all the way, but when the price climbed to more than 80 million, many people who were ambitious before now seemed a little helpless.
"That boss offered 87 million, is there anyone higher?" President Lin slowly glanced at everyone, and the boss he pointed at was none other than Mr. Qi's subordinate.
Seeing that no one was following the price, He Qing secretly tugged at Lin Haitao, who was sitting next to him. Lin Haitao understood what he meant, so he raised his hand in time and shouted in a high-pitched voice: "I'll pay eight thousand five thousand."
One hundred thousand!”
He was the first to offer a minimum price increase of 500,000 yuan. Despite this, his starting point was very high. At this moment, others only admired him, and no one dared to underestimate him.
When he heard Lin Haitao's bid, Mr. Qi, who was sitting at the back right, furrowed his brows and thought to himself: "Is this kid deliberately looking for trouble?! Why does he always go against me?! He
...Is he so rich?! Isn’t it just a family member who is a big official?!"
He was confused and subconsciously thought that Lin Haitao could not afford the money, but he had no choice. It was his business to follow the price. Everyone had the opportunity, and he had no right to stop it.
"Eighty-one million!" Mr. Qi's men also followed closely.
"Eighty-one and a half million!" Lin Haitao bid again and followed without hesitation.
Everyone was astonished, wondering how someone at such a young age could have such courage, and how could a price of nearly 100 million be quoted so easily.
However, Mr. Zheng, President Lin and others knew very well that Lin Haitao's price increase was deliberately arranged by He Qing, commonly known as "entrustment".
However, except Mr. Zheng, almost no one knew that the reason why He Qing did that was not to increase the price, but to prevent Mr. Qi from buying the painting.
In the next few minutes, Lin Haitao and Qi Sanye's people chased each other, but the price increase always hovered around one million, until it reached 100 million.
And just when Mr. Qi's people called out 104 million, Mr. Qi suddenly received a text message.
"Stop following! There's something fishy! That painting belongs to the boy named He! This is a good show they deliberately arranged!"
As soon as he saw that message, Mr. Qi changed and hurriedly called out to the man, because he knew very well that the things belonged to He Qing and the others, and they could raise the price any way they wanted, so to compete with them was to ask for it.
You can't beat them if you eat hard.
"Yeah, I got it!" The man agreed quickly, with a nervous look on his face and cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He suddenly felt that He Qing was a ghost that was everywhere, and that wherever he was, they might suffer.
The thing belonged to He Qing. This was something Qi Sanye and the others never expected. If someone inside hadn't tipped them off, they would have continued to follow him unwilling to be outdone, and they would have suffered greatly by then.
"One hundred and five million!" Lin Haitao continued to follow.
Everyone looked at them with surprise and admiration. After they shouted out the price, there was silence for a while. Mr. Qi and the others fell silent.
"That young man offered 150 million, is there any friend who is willing to pay a higher price?!" President Lin asked loudly on the stage.
Seeing that no one agreed, he said: "One hundred and five million once, one hundred and five million twice... This is the last chance. Is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?"
"One hundred and ten million!!"
Just when President Lin was about to announce the deal, someone in the crowd shouted.
The person who offered 110 million was already Qi Sanye and the others, but another person. That person was sitting next to Mr. Zheng. He should be one of the big bosses brought by Mr. Zheng.
As soon as the price was announced, everyone could not help but exclaim in low voices.
He Qing and Lin Haitao also looked at each other. They were also surprised. This was definitely a dark horse that came out halfway.
Lin Haitao looked at He Qing and asked him with his eyes if he wanted to continue following. However, He Qing gently shook his head and signaled him not to pursue the price.
"One hundred and eleven million once, one hundred and eleven million twice...one hundred and eleven million three times! Sold! Congratulations, this painting is yours!" President Lin announced with great excitement.
