Chapter 334

After the auction ended, all the guests who attended the auction began to leave, and Sotheby's staff also began to dismantle some of the decorations on the scene.

But at this moment, a group of people ran in in a panic.

William, oh, my friend, it’s really great to see you. A British man in his thirties rushed to William with an anxious look, grabbed his shoulders with both hands, and said eagerly.

William was startled. After a closer look, he realized that the person in front of him was Lewis, the consignor of the crystal pot.

William's face immediately showed happiness, plus a little bit of pride

Lewis, why are you? Can't you come to this auction? William said slightly strangely. Due to time constraints, Lewis only entrusted the crystal kettle to Sotheby's Auction House for auction. And Sotheby's Auction

The starting price given by the dealer was only two hundred pounds. After many rounds of bidding, the crystal pot was sold to two hundred and twenty thousand pounds, an increase of one thousand one hundred times. Such a high premium ratio is very rare. Lewis

He will definitely be very happy to hear this. No, you must let him treat you to a glass of wine.

"William, please tell me, is that crystal cup going to be auctioned?" Lewis asked.

Ah ha, I guess you are concerned about this matter. Let me tell you, the crystal pot has been sold, and it was sold for a very high price. Guess how much it was, 220,000. Haha, I am surprised, right? In fact, I also

I was shocked. I thought someone called the wrong price because they were not familiar with the auction rules. That was a total of 220,000 pounds of real money. William said: Lewis, you must treat me well.

have a drink.

William lifted Lewis's shoulders affectionately, but was unexpectedly pushed away.

Lewis, what are you doing? A look of astonishment appeared on William's face: Hey, hey, man, didn't you understand what I just said? You sold Crystal Lake for a high price of 220,000. That's pounds, pounds you

You should thank me instead of putting on a bad face like this.

However, what made William find it difficult to understand was that Lewis's face actually showed annoyance and anxiety: "That's enough, William, I have been completely deceived by your Sotheby's auction house."

Lewis's voice was so high that many people who were about to leave the auction hall stopped in their tracks.

Lewis, are you okay? William almost thought there was something wrong with his ears. The crystal pot with a starting price of only 200 pounds was sold to 220,000 pounds. This is such an incredible thing. But what is even more incredible

Yes, as the owner of the pot, Lewis not only did not appreciate himself, but instead spoke harshly to himself. This is simply unreasonable.

"William, I'm telling you now, I demand an immediate termination of the transaction," Lewis said eagerly.

Terminate the transaction Oh no, the transaction has been completed. William said confused.

But now it should just be that the transaction agreement has been reached. The transaction has not been completed yet, right? The crystal cup should still be in your hands, Sotheby's. Lewis said excitedly: Please listen clearly now. I regretted it, and I asked to cancel the transaction immediately.

, I don’t want the other party’s 220,000 pounds. As liquidated damages, I can even make up for the other party’s losses, okay?

Generally speaking, after an item is auctioned, there will be a transaction period, which is about one to two months. That's why Lewis said this.

Lewis. My friend, please calm down first and make sure you are awake now. William had to try to calm Lewis down.

Everyone who stayed was a little confused. They felt that this man named Lewis was simply confused. So far, they haven’t explained clearly what happened.

I am very calm, Lewis shouted: I say it again, I want to cancel the transaction immediately, I am willing to bear all the losses, do you hear me clearly, I want to get my crystal cup back, immediately, immediately

Lewis's emotions seemed to be on the verge of hysteria.

William shook his head in disbelief and muttered: Crazy, really crazy.

He and Lewis were old friends. Lewis was an antique dealer and would often ask Sotheby to auction some of the antiques he had collected.

The crystal cup this time should not be considered a Chinese work of art in terms of shape and characteristics, and in terms of grade, it is far from antiques such as the Qianlong Seal and Yongle Blue and White. The reason why it is included as the first item in this auction

One of the auction items was also to take care of Lewis's relationship. In fact, when Lewis took out this crystal pot and wanted to sell it early, William laughed at him severely. He thought that the quality of the antique he took out this time was too high.

Lower.

In the end, Sotheby's gave a starting price of 200 pounds. This price is almost the same as the price of free cabbage at a high-standard Chinese art auction. Therefore, the humorous William previously joked that this crystal pot was just a sumptuous meal.

Order before a big meal. Used as a starter.

He didn't expect that he had done him such a big favor with good intentions, and now Lewis was so angry that he wanted to cancel the transaction.

As the auctioneer, William didn't know that Yu Fei had paid the full price on the spot and took away the crystal cup. The entire transaction was completely completed. No matter what the previous crystal cup's surname was, it had been named Yu from the beginning.

William recruited a staff member to come over and said depressedly: I met a madman. Please bring over the broken crystal cup and notify the buyer, saying that the seller regretted it and was willing to compensate him for all losses according to the agreement.

Although William found it a little difficult to understand this matter, he didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, Lewis has said that he took the initiative to cancel the transaction and was willing to bear all losses. In his opinion, the buyer has no losses and can receive a large amount of compensation, and he will definitely be happy to accept it.

But the results fed back by the staff made him stunned.

William said in disbelief that the transaction for the crystal cup had been completed and taken away by the buyer.

You must know that it is not hundreds or thousands of pounds, it is 220,000 pounds. It is said that the transaction has been completed. Who has such skill to pay such a large sum of money on the spot?

By the way, it was he, William, who immediately thought of Yu Fei. Although after an auction, William was already dizzy, he still remembered Yu Fei who took the first lot.

He is a gentle and gentle young man. You can't help but feel good at the first glance. He actually chooses to trade on the spot.

At this moment, an old man in his sixties who came with Lewis suddenly asked impatiently: Lewis, what is going on? Where is the Holy Grail you promised?

Mr. Bafaya, please be patient. I will definitely find the Holy Grail, Lewis said.

Holy Grail William asked in confusion. He remembered that Lewis had been calling the crystal pot a cup just now. How could it become the Holy Grail now? Oh my God, how could that shape be called a cup?

Yu Fei and Ye Jianjun stopped and looked at it for a while, then lost interest. He didn't want to see a few big men playing riddles here, so he turned around and walked towards the door.

However, this behavior also allowed Lewis to discover my crystal pot in Yu Fei's hand.

My crystal pot Lewis quickly pushed aside the crowd, stumbled in front of Yu Fei, and reached out to grab the crystal pot in Yu Fei's hand.

Yu Fei turned his body sideways and easily shook Lewis aside.

What do you want to do? Yu Fei said angrily. You want to snatch something from your arms in broad daylight. This is too outrageous.

Holy Grail My Holy Grail Lewis looked excited and stared directly at the crystal cup in Yu Fei's arms.

What did you say? Yu Fei asked. Because Lewis spoke English and spoke very fast, Yu Fei didn't understand what he just said.

It was only now that Lewis truly accepted the fact that the crystal cup had changed hands. He took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and said slowly: Sir, I am the owner of this crystal cup. Now I want to cancel the transaction, you

I will double the compensation for the loss, please agree

Hey, there really is such a thing. Now you want to take back something you sold. Do you think this is a child's play house? You can do whatever you want. To be continued...
