"Two hundred thirty thousand." Eaton also raised his brand and joined the competition. Andre couldn't help but stared at Eaton with a depressed face: Are you ready to compete with me?

Eaton’s face is innocent: I’m just supporting Renly, okay?

Andre didn't buy it at all, muttering something, and then he held up the sign, "Two hundred and fifty thousand." The price was raised by 20,000 pounds in one breath, and the auction started to speed up.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand." The unfamiliar but piercing voice sounded again-very piercing to Andre. As for whether others could feel the same way, it is unclear. Andre immediately turned his head towards Dave. -Clark glared hard in the direction. Dave had a decent smile on his face, but Andre didn’t buy it at all. He tugged at the corners of his mouth without a smile, his face was full of spitting sharpness, and then straight He shouted, "Three hundred thousand."

It was obvious that Dave's expression was slightly stiff, and he obviously did not expect Andre to express his rejection so bluntly.

During Dave's moments of stunned confusion, the quotation still did not stop, and there were still many guests on the scene calling for bids.

"Thirty-one thousand."

"Three hundred and two hundred thousand."

But in just two and three seconds, Howard’s bid has reached "350,000", and the rate of increase has not slowed down.

"Four hundred thousand." Matthew raised his brand directly, and raised the price by another level with a shout. Andrei's eyes rounded and cast his sights towards Matthew, his face full of incomprehension: You Why are you making a bid? This made Lan Li couldn't help but chuckle directly.

Dave, who was sitting on the other side, also noticed the air that was gradually tightening, and he raised the sign again, "Forty-one thousand."

But the voice just fell, and the other competitors behind him swarmed like wolves, tigers and leopards. Before they had time to catch a breath, the price soared all the way towards 500,000. The atmosphere of such enthusiasm was far beyond. Imagine that this also forced Howard to change the rhythm of auctions:

The quotation for each placard is fifty thousand pounds.

The number of competitors on the scene began to decrease, and then the real top competitors began to prepare to shoot.

"Five hundred and fifty thousand." Dave took the lead. After holding up the sign, he deliberately cast his gaze in the direction of Andre and Renly, but he didn't get a response.

"Six hundred thousand." Matthew raised the price calmly.

At this time Andre realized that Matthew and Eaton were both helping to run Dave; but because he loved this snuff bottle very much, he inevitably brought personal selfishness. He still hoped that he could auction it off, so naturally there was no way. Look at the entire auction process rationally:

He wasn't even in the mood to tease Dave.

"Sixty-five thousand." Dave shouted the price again shortly afterwards.

Andre couldn't help but began to grind his teeth, but he still raised the sign in time, "Seven hundred thousand."

"Seven-fifteen thousand." Dave and Andre's eyes collided, and both of them showed no signs of weakness.

Matthew looked at Lan Li helplessly, and did not continue to blend in—

Shouldn't they join forces to tease Dave? Deliberately bid up the price, forcing Dave to take it at an incredible price, and eat a dumb loss; after the transaction is confirmed, tell Dave that this snuff bottle is actually a blue gift, and Dave’s expression will be the best at that time. The playing part.

But now Andre is obviously too excited, even losing his mind. If they continue to drive up prices, it may be that Andre will suffer in the end.

Lan Li was also a little helpless. Before Andre was about to continue shouting, he patted Andre on the arm and motioned for Andre to stop.

Andre was very unwilling. Firstly, this was his favorite snuff bottle; secondly, this was Lan Li's snuff bottle. Why was it accepted by that guy? He felt uncomfortable no matter what, even if he knew that the price was far beyond expectations, he still couldn't help it.

"But..." Andre looked at Lan Li and tried to plead, but Lan Li still shook his head firmly: Andre really didn't need to spend such a large price, and his daily pocket money was not that much, seventy. Fifty thousand is a very good price for a charity auction, and it has doubled the estimated price of Sotheby's auction house. It is the wisest to accept it as soon as it gets better.

Andre is really depressed! He slumped his shoulders and retracted his gaze, as if he was about to give up, but when Lan Li didn't notice it, he raised the sign again, "800,000!"

Then he looked straight ahead unswervingly, avoiding Lan Li's sight. The boyish behavior made Lan Li even dumbfounding, and he didn't know what to say.

"Eight-hundred-five thousand yuan." Dave was already emotional now, shouting and anger came out, and some of them continued to increase the price regardless.

Andre's eyes widened, and he was thinking about whether he should continue to raise the price.

At this moment, there was a voice from the rear, "One million", and it was obvious that the atmosphere on the scene was slightly stagnant.

At an art auction, a transaction amount of one million pounds is nothing at all, and there are countless transactions of tens of millions of pounds. However, at a charity auction, the price of one million pounds is a bit frustrating. Few people would donate a million pounds in this way.

Andre died immediately, he was not the opponent at all, but after he was frustrated, he winked at Lan Li with joy: if he could not be auctioned, at least Dave could not be grabbed, this is the best. As a result, the mood has become a lot happier.

Dave felt that he was insulted. First, he was surrounded by Andre and Matthew and others, and then was directly intercepted by the dark horse that came out. If he conceded now, wouldn't he be too aggrieved? This is the first time he appeared in public after dating Beatrice!

He can't admit defeat.

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Dave raised the sign again and gritted his teeth to announce the price, but he didn't expect that before his sign could even be put down, the voice behind him categorically shouted, "One and two hundred thousand. "The speed of such an increase is far beyond Dave's ability to bear.

Whether it’s Andre or Dave, including other millionaires or multimillionaires, their wealth is counted in the form of "assets", including fixed assets, stock funds, etc., but in reality The working capital in hand, but not necessarily able to shell out a million pounds in one go——

Either a billionaire or a professional art collector, otherwise, for most millionaires, working capital must be reinvested. Only by continuous operation can capital create more wealth.

Dave is now in a difficult situation: just give up, he always feels useless; keep up, he feels worthless.

But at this moment in the auction scene, his sanity has been loosened, and the surrounding guests are all elites of the upper class. His every move, every word and deed is under the attention of everyone, and now it is terrible. Performance may leave irreparable negative effects.

So, "One and two hundred and fifty thousand." Dave still gritted his teeth and raised his offer again, but on the surface he had to show his demeanor, raised the sign with a smile on his face, and continued to give it a go. Efforts to show the appearance of light clouds and breeze, bathed in the attention of the audience.

Dave was destined to be disappointed.

"One and a half million!" The dark horse that jumped out at the last moment completely defeated Dave with a final word. After Howard asked three times, the hammer finally settled on the highest price at the auction site today.

After all, Dave could not continue to speak again, the smile that remained at the corner of his mouth was still a little stiff, but he still had to give the competitor his applause gentlemanly: Congratulations to the other party for winning this auction.

One and a half million pounds.

Let alone Dave, even Lan Li and Matthew were slightly surprised: this snuff bottle is definitely not worth the price!

As a reference, the highest-priced snuff bottle at auctions in the world came from 2011. An antique named "Qing Dynasty Qianlong Glass Enamel Western Lady Snuff Bottle" finally sold for 2.5 million pounds. , Still cannot be surpassed.

But other than that, the collection value of most snuff bottles is between 100,000 and 500,000 pounds.

It is precisely because of this that when the auction price just exceeded £750,000, Renly stopped Andre. He did not want Andre to make random bids; but the final transaction price was even more outrageous, even as a donation. The owner of the item, Lan Li also noticed a trace of anxiety.

Matthew and Ren Li exchanged a glance:

Although this is a charity auction, it is mainly charity; but the occasion for all the elites to gather ~www.novelhall.com~ is not that simple in itself, as if Dave hopes to make a blockbuster through this opportunity and truly make himself a success. As society has established a reputation, there are countless similar situations, and everyone is eager to come here for gilding, including the Hall and his wife.

This also means that there may be something strange behind the auction of a snuff bottle for £1.5 million. Things are obviously not that simple.

Turning his head, he found that the forty-three customer who finally completed the auction was a completely unfamiliar face. He was an agent and was talking on the phone with a headset cord. Someone behind the scenes remotely controlled and completed the auction. Makes the identity of the bidder even more mysterious.

Obviously, this is what the other party hopes to produce.

After the hammer fell, the guests on the scene guessed the identity of the bidder in the exchange of sights. The atmosphere on the scene seemed extremely lively. The mysterious man instantly became the focus of the audience, and Dave was directly forgotten by everyone, even Lan Li The previous bids seem to be a little underweight.

Andre was also completely excited, "Haha, do you see his face? It's like being punched in person by Tyson. It's so funny."
