Chapter 461: Shift focus and cover up the real purpos

  Chapter 461 Transferring focus to cover up the true purpose

  After all, this painting is in the mouth of an expert like Virgil, but it is an imitation.

  The value of this kind of artwork is there, but if it wants to rise, it depends on luck and how the biggest collectors will hype in the future.

  So, many people do hesitate at this time, and they will consider how long it will take to increase prices and bring profits.

  At this time, with a gap of one second, Virgil has a greater probability of saying ‘deal’ at a lower price and selling the painting to Bill.

  Li Changheng watched Virgil put away the smile on his face, and took the price tag from Annie.

   directly shouted, "100,000 pounds."

   Then he didn't look at the surprised Virgil at all, but looked sideways at the bald head before, so as not to be seen by the old fox like Virgil.

   Then he hooked his fingers at the bald old man, smiled provocatively, and told everyone that he wanted to play with a quote.

  The bald man looked happy, and immediately quoted, "£110,000."

  Li Changheng didn't even think about it, he raised his placard and said, "200,000."

  Now, I was surprised that Virgil and Bill, who was in charge of the quotation, were surprised.

  What kind of antique dealer is Bill? Many people have known it for so many years.

  If he dared to quote at this time and keep adding it, someone would definitely doubt it.

  Moreover, an oil painting is only a few thousand or tens of thousands of pounds. Big newspapers are not interested in reporting, and small newspapers have no influence.

  Experts and authorities see the probability very, very small.

  But if the price is hundreds of thousands or millions of pounds, it is likely to attract the attention of other collectors or master appraisers.

  If someone sees that there is something wrong with this painting, Na Virgil will not have a second day except to retire directly.

  So, in the long run, the auction was not taken, so I can only forget it.

  Furthermore, private transactions are not impossible.

  Except for the very favorite buyers, an increase of 30%, 50%, or even double the price is definitely a bargain for many collectors.

  Of course, there are risks in this.

  At least the person who buys can't be Billy, otherwise everyone will think in his heart why Billy didn't join the ranks of competitors at the auction.

  Looking for another collaborator is equivalent to double the risk for Virgil.

  It is better to give up and wait slowly.

  As long as you stay in this industry, you will always have the opportunity to meet your favorite oil painting again.

  And the final auction price also involves the agreement reached between Virgil and Bill.

  Bill took the risk of doing this, and the reward must not be too low.

  So the double bonus of the final auction price is given to Bill, which actually puts a lot of pressure on Virgil.

  Because in the past two decades, Vergil, who has only bought dozens of oil paintings but not sold, even the auction house’s business has been good.

  But if you ask him to come out with hundreds of thousands of pounds, it is indeed a bit embarrassing.

  In this case, it is better to focus on other oil paintings encountered in the future.

  So, after Li Changheng called out the price of 200,000 pounds, Virgil yelled at Li Changheng at the same time, but he didn't look at Bill again, so as not to give him wrong hints.

  Furthermore, none of the people present can have more cash than Li Changheng.

  Because anyone who knows a little bit about him, knowing that Intel has sold a large number of calculators in the past three months, can roughly guess that the cash in his hand is absolutely sufficient.

  Rather sitting on the on-site telephone quotation desk, acting as Frank-Abanel who provided telephone quotations for customers who did not want to show up.

   Just cursing Li Changheng for not giving Bill a chance to bid, it means that he can’t provoke his relationship with Virgil.

  But a thought suddenly appeared in his heart, and a faint look of Li Changheng quickly flashed in his eyes.

  Just a little bit of brainstorming, it was misunderstood that Li Changheng only spent one night, not only found out which painting Bill and Virgil wanted.

  It is very likely that someone has been found to appraise and estimate the value of this painting.

  In other words, his power is really big enough that he can easily enter the French bank vault.

  Also make the people in the bank not afraid at all, or not worried about being discovered?

  The reasons for these two results are either that they paid a lot of money to buy it, or they threatened the person in charge of the bank with the safety of the person and family.

  Thinking of this, Frank suddenly regretted that he went to see Li Changheng, and even idiotly told all about Virgil and Bill.

  If the **** is also tempted, and starts playing with Virgil and those oil painting ideas, what else is there for himself?

  Frank, who couldn't think of anything, immediately felt that he should get the same 40% interest as before.

  But when I think of it at the beginning, I only got 20%.

  I was able to get 40% last time, because I entered the Bank of England, so I took the most risk.

   But this time against Virgil, it seems that his role is not as big as expected.

  The probability of getting 40% again is very small.

  Franky glanced depressedly at Li Changheng who was smiling, and finally could only think of talking to him again.

  At this time, an old woman in a wheelchair, the largest collector of Vivienne's paintings.

  When Li Changheng quoted a price of 200,000 pounds, he sighed at Li Changheng and gave up the idea of ​​taking this picture.

  This price has surpassed Vivienti, a female painter of the 16th century, with the highest auction record of 140,000 pounds in the past.

  In other words, in the eyes of everyone on the scene, this painting will have to wait at least 10 years before it can rise to 200,000 pounds.

  Li Changheng looked back at the bald head, and saw that the opponent's face was full of struggle and hesitation.

  But he wants to be an ostrich, but the others don’t plan to end this good show.

  Although everyone didn't speak, or even whispered accusations, most of them stared at him.

The meaning of    is obviously saying that if you only quote the price once, you want to surrender.

  This is too embarrassing to say, and it will make others think that he is an idiot ~lightnovelpub.net~ is a idiot who has no strength and provokes people who are stronger than himself without vision.

   Forced to play, the bald head can only raise the bid price tag in his hand.

  Vergil immediately called this man a real idiot.

   yelled out 210,000, at least he could tell others clearly and unambiguously that he was deliberately letting Li Changheng spend more money.

   is just holding a card, which is equivalent to only an increase of 2,000 pounds, not only that the momentum has fallen directly into the mud.

  It is easy to know that this guy is not only dared, but also a Grandet-like person.

  Li Changheng snorted mockingly, without looking at Virgil, he raised a sign and said, "300,000."

  The comparison between the two immediately made everyone present feel it.

  Li Changheng is indeed spending money randomly, but the money spent is not without any positive effects.

There are three chapters after    , which will be a little later.
