Chapter 440: Some things are really hard to envy

Three pieces were auctioned at the same time, and the price was 2 million pounds. There were many people who were able to buy them. Now they were competing with each other to see if they were willing to pay a price higher than expected and whether they were optimistic about the appreciation prospects of antiques from the Celestial Empire.

The venue paused for more than ten seconds, and soon someone started to raise their placards.

Seeing someone bid, the auctioneer breathed a sigh of relief and said happily, "2 million, 2 million, No. 32 bids 2 million pounds, are there any other bidders?"

"2.1 million pounds," Shen Cheng glanced at his companions and saw that everyone nodded and followed suit.

A few minutes later, the price reached 3.6 million pounds, which was 20% higher than the outside world's estimated price for the three animal heads, and there were few people who would bid again.

And this price was almost at the bottom line of Shen Cheng and his team. This time they only brought 50 million Celestial Empire coins, and as long as the auction price exceeded 4.2 million pounds, they would not have enough money.

The price exceeded expectations, and the auctioneer shouted excitedly, "3.7 million, guest No. 14 bid 3.7 million, is there anyone who wants to bid more?" In today's auction, the average price of antiques sold has exceeded expectations by 30%, and his commission will be quite high after the auction.

After just a few rounds, under Shen Cheng's worried mood, the price quickly reached 4.3 million pounds. Before they could hesitate whether to ask for help and instructions from the group, the price rushed to 4.5 million pounds.

"Forget it, no need to ask for instructions anymore. It is impossible to win without 5 million pounds. More than 60 million Tianchao coins are completely beyond the price we can accept."

An old man Liu, who had been silent all the time, finished speaking to Shen Cheng and others, and then said to William, "Mr. Devonshire, it's up to you now. Instead of letting others bid, I would rather have these three treasures in your hands."

William suddenly said, "How about we make a deal."

"What?" Shen Cheng asked hurriedly when he saw that things were turning around, "What deal?"

William did not answer his question, but raised his hand and snapped his fingers, saying to the auctioneer, "5 million pounds."

"FK", the hearts of the people who were still competing immediately skipped a beat, and William, who had not made any move, finally came on stage.

Ignoring the sudden noise at the scene, William said to Shen Cheng, "I am more interested in jadeite, chicken blood stone, Tianhuang stone, mutton fat white jade, Huanghuali, sapphire and other things. How much do you help me buy, I will give you a normal commission of 5%. How about that?"

"Ha, 5%? Do you think it's an auction house auction? As far as I know, the normal commission is at least 10%." Shen Cheng stared at William and mocked, "You are really a capitalist, fighting for every penny, and even want to get millions of commissions from us who earn hard-earned money."

"10% is 10%", William was not embarrassed at all when he was exposed, "But I only want the best things, I won't accept ordinary stuff.

By the way, if you can help me find the top gems over 100 carats, I will give you a commission of 1 million pounds, and then help you bid for these three animal heads, and the money will be deducted from the future commissions, how about it?".

"This", it is very difficult to find top gems, but you need connections, and if you know a lot of people, you may be able to find out who has them, but this kind of thing is not 100% possible, if you find out about the gems, what if the other party doesn't want to sell them?

"5 million pounds, Mr. Devonshire bids 5 million, is there anyone else to bid", the auctioneer immediately got excited when he saw William's bid, "5 million for the first time".

The person who raised the price before hesitated for a few seconds and raised the card,

"5.1 million".

William raised the card without thinking.

"5.2 million pounds, Mr. Devonshire bid 5.2 million pounds, is there anyone else bidding?" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.

"What do you want the top sapphire for?"

"You may know that my mother's birthday is coming soon. I plan to make her a super crown inlaid with top gems over 100 carats. Now I have top colorless, pink diamonds, and rubies, but I lack sapphires. So if you can help me find them, I will be very grateful."

"My Three Pure Ones Buddha are all made of top gems over 100 carats. The value of these gems alone exceeds 100 million US dollars." Professor Guan looked at William in surprise. Seeing that William just shrugged his shoulders and didn't look heartbroken at all, he shook his head,

"I know how extravagant you top English aristocrats live. Not only do you give priceless jewelry on your birthday, but you also give Premier League teams. The gifts alone are hundreds of millions of US dollars. How much money would you spend when you get married?"

"Okay, stop being envious," said Mr. Liu, stopping everyone's discussion. "You can spend your own money however you want. We can't envy such a thing. Who made us not as lucky as Mrs. Lina to have a super money-making child?"

"Haha, Mr. Liu is right. We can't envy such a thing." Everyone nodded in agreement, but William's eyes became more eager.

Spending 700 million pounds to build a stadium, training ground, and museum is completely different from spending hundreds of millions to celebrate his mother's birthday.

After everyone laughed, Mr. Liu said, "Mr. Devonshire, we can help you find some of the best quality jewelry, but we can't accept your commission. We will help you for free for the sake of our friendship. So, you can take these three animal heads first, and we will talk about the others later."

"Hehe," William looked at Mr. Liu with some surprise and no surprise, and silently cursed him as an "old fox" in his heart.

He didn't feel that he had any friendship with these people, and he didn't contact several times in contact. There would be any friendship. He rejected himself that he wanted to owe himself to himself and find it back in other places.

However, Comrade Liu may not know how shameless when William would be shameless. This kind of promise of no agreement, unless William would not suffer, he would definitely not recognize.

There is no mistake, one, one, one, one, one, one, one, one 619, one book, one, one, one, one, one, one, a book!

Or even if you recognize, then you have to take advantage of it first.

Anyway, William does not go to the heavenly dynasty to do business. There is no place to find these people at all. As long as you spend money, you do n’t find a cricket, but you do n’t have to find it.

"No problem", William looked at the old fox with a smile on his eyes, "Let's talk for a while."

Before looking at Shen Cheng, he regretted that he did not tell everyone clearly before he came out.

When I was talking, I heard the auctioner deliberately reminded, "5.3 million pounds for the second time, is there any more people bid again? This is the only 12 of the 12 beasts in the world. I miss this opportunity to want to want It's not so easy to get them. "

William was no longer interested in the price increase of 100,000, and shouted directly, "6 million pounds."

"Seeing ghosts".

"God, is he crazy or what? 6 million is more than doubled."

As soon as the 6 million pound came out, the sound of inhalation was made.

"6 million for the first time, 6 million times", the auctioneer looked at the person who had the last bid, and saw him shook his head, and immediately knocked on the mallet, "the third time of 6 million pounds, the transaction".
