Seeing no one answered, the auctioneer looked around and asked again: "Five million and a half, is there anyone who wants to raise the price?"
Some people who came in groups chatted in low voices on their seats.
Unless you really know the value of this kind of parchment whose origin is unknown, raising the price rashly will definitely lead to a loss of blood.
"Five and a half million once!"
"Five and a half million twice!"
At this moment, at ten o'clock to Ronan's left, someone in the sixth row from the bottom held up a sign.
"Six million!"
"Six million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"
The auctioneer's eyes widened, fearing that he might miss the sign.
This parchment is just what many buyers are worried about. They don't know the actual value and are afraid of buying it back as a waste.
But six million dollars has not yet reached the seller’s estimated value.
Looking around slowly, the auctioneer didn't urge him too much.
Doing so will be counterproductive and create the impression that the exhibit is in a hurry to get rid of it.
Really good things should be bought by people competing to buy them, rather than being urged to buy them.
"Six million times!"
"Six million times twice!"
Lina held up a sign over there.
"Six million and a half million!" the auctioneer repeated: "Six million and a half million! Does anyone want to raise the price?"
"Six and a half million once!"
"Six and a half million twice!"
The man from before held up the sign again.
"Seven million!"
The man and Lina began to bid against each other, always waiting until the second call to raise the price.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that this was a struggle between two people, so they did not participate.
When the price reached eight million US dollars, Lina's sign was put down.
It seems that she can no longer afford more money.
Interested buyers have had their memories wiped. I really don’t know where this person who jumped out of nowhere came from.
Seeing that Lina seemed to be unable to accept the price, Ronan raised the sign and shouted.
"Ten million."
"Ten million, the gentleman over there offers ten million!" The price has exceeded the estimated value of the exhibit, and the auctioneer's voice is very passionate: "Ten million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"
Looking at Paul who was sleeping next to him, he was a little dazed. He heard Ronan yell and pulled the corner of his robe: "What's 10 million?"
The person on the front left did not wait and directly raised the sign.
"Ten and a half million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"
Seeing Lina glance at the target in his direction, Ronan was too lazy to add fifty-fifty and raised his arms and shouted: "Fifteen million!"
"Fifteen million!" This price has almost reached twice the estimated price, which means that the auctioneer can also share more money. His voice sounded very excited: "Fifteen million! Does anyone else increase the price?"
Upon hearing this offer, some people present began to whisper.
Are these three rolls of parchment really worth the price
Paul next to him sat upright and said in a teasing tone: "I can't tell, but you are quite rich."
"Oh, that's right." He seemed to remember Ronan's self-revealed national identity and sneered.
If you have money, you can do whatever you want.
"Twenty million!" The person in the lower left corner of Ronan finally shouted, a woman's voice.
This bid caused an uproar in the whole place.
Why are these three rolls of parchment priced so high
Some people who love to pretend to be compared even analyze it from a historical perspective, customs, culture, religious beliefs, etc. to prove that they have a vicious vision, but they just don’t have enough money.
"thirty million!"
Following Ronan's shouting, exclamations of surprise rang out in the venue, and the auctioneer's voice was almost hoarse.
"Thirty million! This gentleman... offers 30 million! Does anyone want to increase the price?"
Thousands of gazes were directed at him.
Thirty million dollars!
This price is already very high compared to the exhibits we photographed earlier.
Lina and the unidentified woman both looked in Ronan's direction and said nothing.
Obviously, they can't afford a higher price.
hehe.
Ronan had a smile on his face. Who wouldn't be able to make a blind bid anyway
Paul on the side spoke sourly: "Tsk tsk tsk, you are rich and willful."
"Thirty million times!"
"Thirty million times!"
"Thirty million times!"
"make a deal!"
No one gave a price of more than 30 million US dollars. As the auctioneer made the final decision, the item was successfully auctioned by Ronan.
The exhibits at the back were meaningless to him.
The final Van Gogh painting was auctioned for 41 million, and this black market transaction officially came to an end.
The people who participated in the black market left the meeting one by one, and the staff came forward to invite Ronan, the 'financier': "Dear sir, please come with me."
Paul didn't say hello and just walked away.
By taking Ronan into the black market, his mission is accomplished.
He would never show that he was familiar with Ronan when outsiders were around.
Otherwise, if something goes wrong, this shit basin will be blamed on him.
Ronan glanced at Paul, who was following the crowd, and went backstage with the staff.
Auctioneer Charles came up to him and extended his hand warmly: "Hello, sir."
Even if he only takes a small commission from the 30 million yuan of this parchment, it is still a huge amount.
Be humble enough when dealing with donors.
"Given the large amount of this transaction, you can pay it off within seven working days."
Ronan looked at the parchment covered with a bulletproof glass cover and rubbed his nose: "Well... can you confirm that what you are selling is genuine?"
"Of course." Charles was startled at first, then smiled professionally: "We passed the national professional appraisal agency..."
Ronan waved his hand and interrupted the auctioneer's words of endorsement: "Don't mention any appraisal agency. The authenticity of this thing needs to be compared. What is the reference object of the agency? Don't tell me that these three rolls of parchment were used? In case these are fakes, it is not a trivial matter to use fakes to refer to fakes."
Facing the questioning tone, Charles still maintained a polite smile: "Sir, your doubts are indeed reasonable. It's just..."
Before Charles could finish speaking, Ronan took out the old parchment fragment from his arms (14).
Lina's parchment fragment (15) is a replica and is too new to be taken out.
Shaking the parchment in his hand, Ronan stared into Charles's eyes: "I have the original version, so I want to personally authenticate the authenticity of the exhibits, is that okay?"
"This is against the rules, sir." Charles looked a little embarrassed: "You need to pay first..."
"Mr. Charles." Ronan interrupted him again. It can be seen that his interruption was deliberate: "You also know that thirty million US dollars is not a small amount. If you pay first before you can authenticate, what if it is fake? Yes, will the auction house compensate me double the handling fee? Definitely not, right. And if a fake comes out, it will have a huge impact on my reputation. If I buy a fake for 30 million, what will other people think about it? Looking at me? Taking advantage of you?"
"That's not what I meant, sir..."
Ronan spoke very smoothly, as if he had planned it in advance, and he waved his hand.
"Okay, I know you can't make the decision, so go and ask for instructions. I require on-site personal identification. You can also send someone to watch me to avoid any mistakes. I just want to buy peace of mind and don't let the money be wasted. Piao. Don’t worry, as long as it’s true, I’ll pay within three days.”
Due to the money limit given by the system, Ronan can only hold up to four thousand US dollars.
He can't get out these 30 million US dollars no matter what.
Staring at Charles' retreating back, he grinned, as if he hadn't even thought about taking the money.
If the parchment is a mission item, you only need to touch it and put it in your backpack, then quickly read the file, and you will be able to defeat the wolf with nothing.
If you can't use such a buggy golden finger, it's really useless.
After a while, Charles and several staff members in suits and ties came over.
"Sir, we agree with your appraisal request, please come this way."
Three pieces of parchment lay quietly on the silk. Seeing the bulletproof glass cover being slowly opened, Ronan's heart pounded.
It’s so exciting to just pretend and run away!
The staff took the cover away, and Charles gestured: "Please."
Just when Ronan was about to reach out, all the lights in the background showed no warning.
All black...
