Chapter 496 Xu Ming's Tough Bid

Brett's face was so gloomy that it was about to drip.

The current situation is far beyond his expectations. He is an auction company himself. It can be said that he has seen too many crazy things in the auction process, but what happened at this time is really strange. arrive.

An underglaze red begonia flower bowl with a starting price of only 20 yuan actually bid 650 million yuan, and he knew that this price was far from over.

The things that appear in the auction are of course authenticated, but as long as they are authenticated, they will also have holes. The red begonia flower bowl in front of me is just like that, and it belongs to the type of holes.

So, when Brett found this red crabapple flower bowl in glaze, he wanted to pick up the leak and give Lu Yao a good blow at the same time, but he didn't expect that he was not the only one who took a fancy to this bowl!
"Damn islanders."

Brett cursed fiercely. The starting price of this underglaze red begonia flower bowl is only 20 yuan. It is obvious that the person Lu Yao invited or the person who commissioned the auction did not realize its true value at all. , I thought I had picked up a leak—if those two islanders hadn’t come to make trouble, then maybe I had already taken down the glazed red begonia flower bowl by this time.

After bidding with those two people from the island country, they finally "successfully" attracted the attention of others, so there is now a situation of swarming participation-this directly led to the current price of 650 million.

"Bright, can we still make an offer?"

The expression on Abigail's face was also ice-like. It was beyond the original expectation to appear in such a situation.

650 million!
650 million, which is already a high price.

Brett hesitated for a while, but finally nodded and said, "Go ahead, the price of this red begonia flower bowl in glaze is around 800 million. If it is in our foreign company, it may be even higher. So if we win it at 800 million... or even 850 million, we can't afford it."

"Ok."

Abigail is also a master of appraisal, and he knows the value of the underglaze red crabapple flower bowl being auctioned now, so although the current price is already a bit high, as Brett said, it is still 850 yuan. Wan took it down and still couldn't suffer.

655 million.

Although it was still early for his reserve price, Abigail was an experienced veteran, so naturally he wouldn't reveal all his negatives immediately.

On the contrary, it is only added slowly. The advantage of doing so is that it can give people a psychological hint: Everyone, the current price is already a little high. You must seriously consider it. Don’t think that millions are not money.

Be cautious, the thing to do now is to be cautious, the reincarnated price increase is not a good thing for everyone.

Not to mention, Abigail is indeed an experienced person. Although there will be further price increases in the future, after the first price increase by others, he always uses this way of adding only a little to hint, and slowly all Everyone has been affected, and they are all cautious when bidding.

Fang Ming was quite relaxed at first, because the auction site was a mess, and the price was also rising steadily. Naturally, he was happy to watch the excitement, but this time he was not so relaxed.

Abigail is really experienced too much, let him disrupt the situation, and the originally lively price increase immediately cooled down.

Frowning, Fang Ming said, "This... Abigail has so much experience, we're in trouble."

Si Kongzhe also nodded, and said, "Yes, that's true. This Abigail seems to be a veteran in the auction business. Once this move was made, everyone calmed down."

"Heh... haven't we made a move yet?"

Xu Ming put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and looked at Fan Li, who presided over the auction. Of course, he looked at Abigail, and the people from the two island countries. Weird look.

He has been in the securities market for many years, he has seen countless storms, and the amount of money he has earned or handled is no longer known, so he gradually discovered that the manipulation that seems exciting to others is nothing to him. Feel.

However, at this moment, he felt a long-lost excitement in his heart.He has already decided that he must play with the other party. Of course, it is meaningless if he just uses money to persuade the other party. His goal now is to raise the price, and then make the other party have to make a move.

Sikong Zhe and Xu Ming were old friends for many years, he naturally understood each other's character and knew that Xu Ming was always a calm person, but at this moment he was a little excited, which he had basically never seen before.

"Well, it seems, Xu Ming, you want to do something big today."

"Hahaha!"

"Yes, let's see if we can achieve our goal."

As he spoke, Xu Ming raised his hand and shouted loudly: "700 million!"

quiet!Quiet!

The scene was quiet, as if a bomb had been dropped by someone, and then all life would be wiped out, and there was no sign of life in the whole world.

At the beginning of this auction, there were only two people bidding. Later, more and more people joined in, so the scene was heated up quickly, and the price naturally rose all the way, until it reached 650 million.

But after reaching 650 million, due to Abigail's "technical" hint, the scene suddenly cooled down, and everyone realized a problem, that is, the starting price of the auctioned antique in front of them was only 20 yuan at the beginning. Ten thousand!

Those who can be invited by Lu Yao are all rich people. These people have participated in a lot of auctions before, and they all know that such a situation is actually rare in auctions. After thinking about it like this, they immediately calmed down. Most people simply gave up bidding. Although there were still bids, they were not as straightforward as before.

Therefore, it has been nearly 650 minutes since the start of 10 million, and only 670 million was added, and each bid was only increased by 5000 or [-], and there was even [-] once.

At this time, Xu Ming bid 700 million all at once, which startled all those who bid cautiously and tentatively, so they all fell silent.

Abigail looked over at Xu Ming, and when he saw Fang Ming sitting beside him, he was stunned for a moment: Fang Ming is a master, and the person who is bidding is sitting next to Fang Ming, what does this mean? ?
"Could it be that Fang Ming likes this antique?"

Abigail couldn't help having such a thought, and just as he thought about it, Brett, who was sitting next to him, turned his head and said softly, "Could it be that Fang Ming likes this bowl?"

"It should be. Otherwise, that person would not bid normally. You must know that 700 million is not a small amount."

Abigail didn't want to admit this, but she had to admit that Fang Ming and the others had conducted research after they arrived in Ningdong City, and knew that although Fang Ming was young, his ability in antique appraisal was top-notch. The real reason why they invited Fang Ming to chat after the auction.

Such a person was sitting next to the person who bid 700 million. If Fang Ming didn't have an opinion on this bid, it would be a bit unreasonable.

"Abigail, do you think Fang Ming...Of course, it's because of that person's bid to put us together?"

Brett's face was wrinkled. The real value of the bowl auctioned was indeed 700 million, but it was obvious that if this person didn't bid, he might have won the auction at this price. The relationship between the two of Lu Yao and himself is not very good with Lu Yao. It is not surprising if Fang Ming wants to use this method to put himself together.

"This...it is indeed possible, but...whether we don't know."

Abigail sighed helplessly. Of course, this possibility exists, but if it must be the case, it is impossible.What is the real situation, other than Fang Ming and the others, it is impossible for others to know.

Brett knew that was really the case.

"What do we do now? Keep raising prices?"

"Add it! Anyway, we haven't reached our reserve price yet."

Abigail raised her hand and said, "701 million."

Abigail did not change his strategy, and the price increase was still small. He also wanted to use this method to remind the other party that there was no need to increase the price too much.

"750 million!"

This sentence made Abigail's eyeballs almost fall out. He stood up abruptly, and just about to speak loudly, he suddenly felt his sleeves being pulled forcefully. It was Brett. , This time I woke up and sat down.

"F! This kid is here to make trouble. How can anyone increase the price like this!?"

Although Abigail sat down, how could it be so easy to get rid of her anger?Immediately complained to Brett.

"The possibility of making trouble may not be very high. After all, if no one offers a higher price, this person will have to pay."

I don't know why, Bright suddenly calmed down, with a thoughtful expression on his face, if it is understandable to increase the price at a relatively low price, then it is still used at a relatively high price This way is very unusual.

In fact, during the auction, a substantial price increase can cause a huge psychological pressure on the competitors: I am rich, and I always want to get this thing, so you are not allowed to compete with me!

When others see such a situation, nine out of ten they will retreat, and naturally they have achieved their goal.

This is a very common technique, but such a technique cannot be used in all situations.
