Chapter 465 Choice is very important

  Vergil saw that no one stood up and blamed himself at the auction site, and knew that the strategy of standing on the buyer's side had succeeded.

   And decades of experience made him understand that as long as he is not abandoned by customers, he is still the authoritative in appraisal, or second only to the big three auction houses.

   pointed to the telephone quotation and said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen and ladies, this is the first time for £1.6 million."

   Then waited silently for three or four seconds.

  It’s just one or two extra seconds, but it makes people feel that this old thing is favoring Henry Lee again.

  But about three seconds is left to the auctioneer.

  "1.6 million pounds for the second time."

  Li Changheng glanced at the telephone station silently, and saw that Frank Abanel was sitting next to the operator who quoted him, and his eyes also showed the number of operator and the indicator light for the reception.

  In other words, although the telephones of this era have no LCD display, it is impossible to know the specific telephone number.

  But following the operator, you can still find the city where the call came from. If you go to this city to check, you can find out which phone company is from.

  Check further down and you will know that it is the community.

  Li Changheng looked at his watch, it was 11:32 by now.

  With a specific time, the scope is even smaller.

  Finally, people can also be found by the elimination method.

   Even if you are lucky, the operator in charge of the connection remembers or is familiar with the voice of the caller, and things are simple.

  And the starting price of the bronze statue of Artemis and the stag is 800,000 pounds.

  The person who can buy this kind of art and set up a bureau with others will at least be a rich man.

  Li Changheng smiled at the corner of his mouth, raised his hand to Virgil and said, "2 million."

  "Henry,,."

  When Annie became noisy at the scene, she held Li Changheng’s arm with her worried hands.

   Seeing Li Changheng secretly turning his eyes on him twice, he suddenly realized that his sweetheart was not really competing with others, and he was greatly relieved.

  Then he changed his face, and his expression became frown again.

  Even worried that someone would see the problem, he just hugged his arm, put a pretty face on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, ‘you badass, you made me worry for nothing. ’

  Li Changheng almost laughed.

  Perhaps he quoted too casually, and again raised the price by 400,000 pounds.

   Let the person on the other end of the phone think that at least he has to wait for him to start a price increase of 100,000 or 100,000 before it can reach his bottom line.

  So I didn’t hesitate much this time and asked the operator to call out 2.1 million pounds.

  But Li Changheng didn't do what everyone expected, but instead sat in a chair and applauded at the caller.

  A series of "Papa Papa" applause, instantly made the operator dumbfounded, and forgot to report to the person on the other side that the auction was over.

  The people present looked incredible at Li Changheng, whose knees were still swaying briskly while holding Anne in one hand.

   suddenly cursed FK, FK, FK in his heart.

  Although no one stipulated that Li Changheng could not play against the game, the momentum he just quoted and the price increase of 400,400,000 pounds.

   still makes most people really think that he is bound to win the bronze statue.

  The huge reversal of the ending made people unacceptable at first, and then suddenly realized that the **** Li Changheng was doing the game from the beginning.

  It pitted the person who wanted to pit him.

  Once the person on the phone does not pay the 2.1 million pounds of auction money, it will be a pass.

  The deposit he paid will be directly deducted by the Virgil auction house, and will be listed as the most unpopular customer by auction companies all over the world.

  The worst thing is that this bronze statue of Artemis and the Stag will be boycotted by many people in the collectors' circle in the future.

There are countless antique dealers, auction houses, or people who hope to achieve a certain purpose. In the recent period, they will constantly jump out to express their dissatisfaction with this matter in front of the public, and while gaining attention, they will harvest one by one. Wave buyers' hearts.

  Finally, in recent years, the bronze statue, not to mention the price of 800,000 pounds, can sell 600,000, even if it finds a wronged collector.

  Of course, as time goes by, people will forget or stop paying attention, and the price can still rise.

  After all, the bronze statue of Artemis and the stag is a real treasure, even a treasure.

  Vergil, who was standing on the auction stage, slowly quoted the price three times. Seeing that Li Changheng really did not increase the price, he immediately knocked down the gavel.

   yelled, the deal.

  Just when everyone thought the auction was over, they started whispering, or mocking the phone buyer.

  Several "clang clang clang" hammer knocks came.

  I saw Virgil smiling and beckoning everyone to be quiet.

   Holding Li Changheng, who had never stood up with Annie, thinking that this old thing is indeed an old fox and a wise man.

  The move just now was to redeem his reputation, but it did offend those who were hiding in the dark.

  If there is no way to make up, the trouble afterwards will definitely not be small.

  So, it is not hard to guess how he would choose between offending the buyer of the bronze statue and offending the entire group.

Sure enough, Virgil smiled and thanked the buyers present, and then directly indicated that the auction was over.

  Then the topic changed, “I want to invite some friends who have time to participate in a private appreciation and auction while there is still a little time before lunch.

  Of course, friends who are not interested will not waste your time.

  See you in half an hour. "

   "Henry?"

  Li Changheng smiled and shook his head at Annie, holding her hand just like those who took the auction, to pay for delivery.

   asked Zhang Tianzhi to carry the pair of ~lightnovelpub.net~ "Lady Picture" which was properly wrapped in a wooden frame, and Li Changheng deliberately took Annie to talk to Laura Fangna Gonzalez.

   Then naturally I met the owner Jack-Chen.

  Waiting to hear that Jack Chen is a famous treasure hunter, Li Changheng pretended to be curious, relaxed and not surprising, he invited Big Nose to have afternoon tea together.

  And different from having dinner together, drinking afternoon tea can not only achieve the purpose of talking with Big Nose, but also make people feel that he actually doesn't care about Big Nose, but just wants to hear his story.

  Even apart from Annie and Zhang Tianzhi, even the four ace bodyguards including Harry Hart did not realize that Li Changheng was interested in the big nose.

   Twenty minutes later, Li Changheng returned to the auction room with Annie and Laura who was not leaving.

  I saw that there were not only a few people inside, but a few more wearing casual suits, and looking at the clothes and appearance, they were probably appraisers or middle-aged scholars.

  Vergil stood on the stage again, and knocked on the gavel without verbosity.

   Let the people of the auction house take out the first private auction item.
