Chapter 2085: Warding off evil spirits
The appearance of the Jiaqing Yellow Ground Pastel Fushou Ten Thousand Years Cloud Mouth Vase sent collectors on site into a frenzy.
The low price was only four million pounds, and the auction company's expected price, which exceeded the price in less than ten minutes, reached seven million pounds.
However, the competition is still fierce, and most of them are Chinese collectors raising placards to bid.
After a few more minutes, this Yunkou bottle had reached 8.5 million pounds.
According to the current exchange rate, 8.5 million pounds is already nearly 80 million Chinese coins.
At this price, all foreigners have quit, and there are still more than a dozen Chinese bosses changing hands frequently.
Seeing this situation, Lu Fei frowned.
In recent years, many large auction companies around the world have often held special sales in China.
Even if it is not a special event, try your best to search for Chinese treasures.
Why is this happening?
Because there is a popular saying in the world's auction industry that it is easiest for Chinese people to make money.
This sentence is a bit dark, but to put it more directly, it means that the boss of China is stupid and rich.
Because in recent years, China's nouveau riche have emerged one after another.
The so-called nouveau riche all have a common problem, that is, they become rich suddenly from the poor, and they are shy and bellyful.
To put it bluntly, he is inflated and likes to show off.
And it’s pretentious regardless of the occasion.
The bigger the scene, the more ferocious the pretense, the less bottom line there is.
When she gets angry, she refuses to recognize her relatives at all, and even ignores the consequences.
This is not Lu Fei's disparagement of China's upstarts, but a fact.
These outbreaks are often caused by cultural relic idiots, but one characteristic is that they are rich.
The purpose of their appearance at the world's largest auctions is to show off.
When they encounter a treasure that everyone is fighting for, they are ready to take action.
It would be even crazier if any of the usual competitors appeared.
Regardless of whether this thing is worth money or not, once it is involved in their goal of pretending to compete, the consequences will be disastrous.
In the 2016 Sotheby's autumn auction, a Ming Dynasty ivory carving worth about 300,000 yuan was sold because of
In order to get involved in the pretentious formation of the three Chinese bosses, an incredible 7.2 million was finally sold.
The treasure holder laughed so hard that Sotheby's teeth fell out of laughter.
Those monsters and demons flattered and flattered them, while other foreign businessmen and collectors despised them.
Not only did he despise him, he also cursed in his heart that this boss was the most stupid idiot in the world.
Such cases abound.
The first few animal heads were sold at extremely high prices because of the rush of the Chinese people.
In fact, the so-called twelve zodiac animal heads of Haiyantang are wind-milled bronze sculptures.
At best, it has a history of more than two hundred years, and it still represents a period of shame that is unbearable to look back on.
But just for this thing, after all kinds of hype, its value has increased exponentially.
Speaking of which, it is simply sad.
In recent years, Shenzhou bosses have become somewhat awakened and are no longer so enthusiastic about blind collections.
Therefore, competition among upstarts is rare.
Unexpectedly, it seems that another historical tragedy will be staged tonight, and Lu Fei despises it in his heart.
"Fei, why don't you bid?" Wade asked.
"It's not worth it!" Lu Fei said lightly.
"hehe!"
"It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not. If you like it, let me know. I'll take a photo of it and give it to you."
Lu Fei smiled slightly.
"No need for now, I'll talk about it later when I find a good one."
As he spoke, this Yunkou bottle had exceeded nine million pounds, and there were four Chinese bosses competing fiercely in the venue.
Lu Fei glanced at them. Lu Fei didn't know any of these four people, so he didn't bother to mind other people's business.
Ten minutes later, the gavel in Peter's hand finally fell.
Jiaqing Yellow Ground Pastel Fushou Ten Thousand Years Cloud Mouth Vase was eventually sold by 2
Boss No. 90 Shenzhou is in the pocket.
The final transaction price actually reached 10.5 million pounds, nearly 90 million Chinese coins.
The moment the weight fell, Peter showed his proudest smile.
The middle-aged man No. 290 stood up, clasped his fists and raised his hands to salute those around him, his face full of pride.
But the looks from around him were quite different.
Some are envious, some are flattering, but the most are contempt and disdain.
Even Guan Haishan rolled his eyes coldly and muttered something stupid.
This cloud-mouth bottle is good, but its value is only five million pounds at most, which is definitely not worth the expected price of the auction company. ??
But the final transaction price was more than double its value, and a 23% commission was required.
This is simply a bitch, the brightest beacon in the night sky!
The scene calmed down and the second round began immediately.
The second game is a Roman stone sculpture.
The carving is of an ancient Roman god of war, and the host said it was an antique from the mid-11th century.
Lu Fei didn't do much research on ancient Greek culture, so he only glanced at it casually.
Other Chinese collectors were also dismissive.
But the foreigners present flocked to it, and even Wade was ready to make a move.
"Do you like this thing?" Lu Fei asked.
"I don't really like it, but the character of this stone statue is very cool."
"It would be nice to take it back and put it in the room." Wade said with a smile.
"I recognize the figure on the stone statue. It should be Ares, the ancient Roman god of war, right?" Lu Fei asked.
"Hey!"
"Fei, you are so knowledgeable and talented. I didn't expect you to know about the Roman God of War!"
"Depend on!"
"Stop hating me. Anyone who knows a bit of history knows this common sense."
"However, I remember Ares seemed to have a rather bad temper."\u003c
br\u003e
"With well-developed limbs and a simple mind, he is just brave and good at fighting. He is not popular."
"Why do you like the character Ares?"
"What's the point of putting it in the room?" Lu Fei asked.
Wade gave Lu Fei a thumbs up and said.
"You're right, Ares's divine connection is indeed not very good."
"However, he also has his advantages. Please go back and it will have special effects!"
"oh?"
"What effect?" Lu Fei asked curiously.
"War off evil spirits!"
"puff"
"Warning against evil?"
Hearing this, Lu Fei and Nina laughed at the same time.
"Holy shit!"
"Ares is a righteous god after all. You actually said that about him?"
"Where does this evil-proofing effect come from?" Lu Fei said with a smile.
"hey-hey!"
"I'm not kidding you."
"Ares is not only the righteous god."
"Because of his reputation as a bad-tempered, brave and good at fighting, those brave rats all fled away when they heard his name."
"Invite his statue to your home, and those monsters and monsters will never dare to get close."
"Moreover, this is a stone statue from the eleventh century. It has absolutely boundless power."
"With this stone statue protecting our home, we will be absolutely safe."
"puff"
Hearing this, Lu Fei trembled with laughter.
"Depend on!"
"Why are you laughing? Everything I said is true."
"Nowadays, many successful people like to have a statue of Ares placed in their study room or even in their bedroom."
"Then it is absolutely impervious to all evil!"
"If you like it, I'll take a photo of it and give it to you. I guarantee it will work."
"puff"
