Chapter 339 successfully photographed
Alex seemed to be thinking of something.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he got up and said softly, "Mr. Zhang, I'll leave for a while, and I'll be right over."

For the time being, Zhang Chi didn't know the reason why Alex got up and left. Maybe he needed to go to the bathroom, or maybe there were other things.Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Alex, please go ahead."

Alex smiled apologetically at Zhang Chi, then got up and left.

In a few minutes, the auction is about to start.

The organizer's staff was in place, and several auctioneers were already seated on the rostrum in front. The chief auctioneer of Sotheby's began to give a speech, and Zhang Chi only understood it roughly, as if to welcome everyone to participate in this auction. , and then briefly introduced several collections that are going to be auctioned at the finale, including Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of Ladies" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

After a while, the auction officially started.

Alex hadn't come over yet. I don't know if he was in a hurry or he was busy with other things. Zhang Chi didn't care, and almost all his attention was on this auction.

The first item to be auctioned was a piece of mutton fat white jade Ruyi, something from the Qing Dynasty. The starting price was US$25. After some bidding, it was finally sold for US$36.

The second lot, a Roman statue, went to a bearded buyer for $28.

Zhang Chi has never raised his placard, mainly because he is not very interested in these collections.Alex came over when the fifth collection was auctioned.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with temporarily."

"It's okay." Zhang Chi said without hesitation.

Alex sat down beside Zhang Chi, and gradually focused on the ongoing auction.

When the 11th collection was auctioned, Zhang Chi saw something he was interested in. It was a set of gold coins from the Western European Renaissance period, with a history of hundreds of years. There are not many such gold coins in the world, especially a set of 6 like this is very rare.

The price is not expensive, the starting price is only 8 US dollars.

Wu Ke had already had itchy hands, and had long thought about the addiction of raising cards. Seeing that Zhang Chi seemed to be interested in this set of gold coins, he immediately asked eagerly, "Brother Chi, can I raise cards?"

Zhang Chi fully understood Wu Ke's thoughts, and nodded with a smile, "Okay, then you can hold the sign for me."

Suddenly Wu Ke was overjoyed and couldn't wait to raise his placard for the first time.

"Seventy-five thousand dollars."

"$9 million."

"The lady offered $9."

"Oh, the man offered $10."

.......
Under Zhang Chi's instruction, Wu Ke raised his cards five times in total. Zhang Chi won this set of Western European Renaissance gold coins at a price of 5 US dollars, which is not expensive.

The key is that Zhang Chi likes it very much, and he also knows that his prospective father-in-law likes to collect all kinds of silver coins and gold coins. If he gives it to him, he will definitely like it very much.

"Brother Chi, we successfully won that set of gold coins!"

Not only did Wu Ke get addicted to raising cards, he also seemed to be even happier than Zhang Chi when he saw that he had successfully photographed this set of gold coins, even with a little bit of excitement.

Zhang Chi smiled and nodded, thinking in his heart, this set of gold coins is not bad, after taking it back, he will play with it for a few days, and then find a chance to give it to his prospective father-in-law to make him happy too.

The following auction was uneventful, mainly because Zhang Chi didn't see something he liked, and entered the later stage of the auction, and the finale items began to appear.

Finally it was the turn of Gu Kaizhi's "Picture of Ladies" to be auctioned.

A color image of this picture appeared on the huge screen in the auction hall, and there were a lot of English introductions. A blond lady in white gloves walked up to the rostrum with the picture in both hands. In the gaze of the rostrum, he carefully placed the painting on the table of the rostrum.

The host introduced: "This is Gu Kaizhi's "Lady Picture" in the Eastern Jin Dynasty of China. It has a history of about 1600 years. It has been collected by countless celebrities and emperors in China. It is still well preserved. It is one of the finale auction items One, it was originally a collection of a well-known big collector, and it is a very rare opportunity to be auctioned at this auction..."

The host has good eloquence, eloquence, and introduced a lot in one breath.His words are also very provocative, making many people who want to take this picture eager to try and feel excited.

Zhang Chi took a general look around. Seeing such a situation, he couldn't help thinking worriedly that the next auction would be very intense. Maybe it would set an auction record, and the transaction price might be far more than 3000 million US dollars.

Wu Ke knew that Zhang Chi wanted to take a picture of this collection, so he said softly: "Brother Chi, let me hold the sign for you, how about it?"

Zhang Chi shook his head lightly. The set of gold coins just now is irrelevant. Wu Ke can raise the cards instead. This time is different, Zhang Chi is going to hold the cards himself.

After the host made an introduction, the auction of "Lady's Picture" officially started!
The starting price was US$500 million, and each time the price was increased by no less than US$10, it soon reached close to US$1000 million. Of course Zhang Chi also participated in the bidding.

"900 million!"

"The lady offered $920 million."

"Oh, this honorable gentleman directly bid 1000 million dollars!"

"..."

The auctioneer seemed to have been slapped with chicken blood. He wished that "Picture of a Lady" would fetch a sky-high price. It would be even better if he could set a record for this auction.

After more than 1000 million US dollars, the number of people participating in the auction began to decrease. It seemed that some of them were simply joining in the fun. It seemed that there were not as many people who really wanted to take this picture of "Lady" as imagined, but there were quite a few of them. A very powerful person, they obviously want to win this "Lady Picture".

Things with a history of 1600 years are relatively well preserved, and many people regard them as investments. This is much better than depositing money in a bank, and the returns must be much higher.

"1060 million!"

Zhang Chi raised his placard again, seeing someone bid 105 million, he added 10 US dollars and quoted a price of 1060 million.

Not far away, there was a big fat man with a big belly. He looked good and had raised his cards several times, but every time Zhang Chi raised his price by 10 US dollars, which made him very annoyed. .

"Find out who that Oriental man is."

The fat man was dissatisfied and ordered one of his subordinates, who probably just received some news, and immediately reported softly: "Boss, the person next to him is Alex from the Adams family, and that oriental man is VIPs of the Adams family."

What, VIPs of the Adams family!

The face of the fat man changed slightly. With 1 guts, he would not dare to oppose the Adams family, let alone compete with the distinguished guests of the Adams family for this "Lady Picture". Even if he is very optimistic about this picture, he can only give up.

He put down the sign calmly, completely treating himself as an outsider, as if this "Picture of a Lady" had nothing to do with him.

"1070."

"1100 million!"

"..."

The big fat man withdrew from the competition, but several other people seemed to be unaware of the situation and were still bidding there. The bidding price for this "Portrait of a Lady" also reached 1100 million US dollars.

However, even if it is 1100 million US dollars, it is only about one-third of its estimated value, the price is not high, and there are still several people participating in the competition.

Alex has been watching the bidding situation. He looked at several people who participated in the bidding, then took out his phone calmly, made a call quietly, and said a few words briefly.

Soon, a strange scene appeared.

Those who participated in the competition all received a message. After seeing this message, they all looked in Zhang Chi's direction one after another. Their gazes first fell on Zhang Chi, and more on Alex. .

Some of them almost finally recognized Alex and knew that behind Alex was the huge Adams family. A sense of awe rose in their hearts, and they quietly withdrew from this competition, not daring to bid again.

Someone might not have recognized Alex, and gritted his teeth and called out another offer-$1150 million.

Zhang Chi thought about it, added another $10, and quoted a price of $1160 million.

"$1160 million."

"$1160 million for the first time, $1160 million for the second time, is there any higher..."

The auctioneer was shouting loudly, as if he wanted to encourage someone to bid a higher price, but the situation was very abnormal, and no one made another bid.

The person who quoted a price of US$1150 million just now certainly wanted to quote a higher price, but someone whispered to him just now, and he immediately gave up his plan to quote again.

Just kidding, offending the Adams family is no fun.

The auctioneer on the stage waited specially, but seeing that no one made another bid, he had no choice but to say: "1160 million US dollars for the third time!"

He took the auction hammer and knocked it hard, and said loudly, "This collection belongs to this gentleman!"

After speaking, he pointed in Zhang Chi's direction.

Zhang Chi felt extremely happy. The "Lady Picture" worth at least 3000 million U.S. dollars was actually photographed by him for 1160 million U.S. dollars. Only high prices can be photographed.

Wu Ke seemed even more excited than Zhang Chi, and said loudly: "Brother Chi, I'm not dreaming, so pinch me quickly, and it was successfully auctioned for $1160 million."

While Zhang Chi was happy, he looked at Alex next to him. At this time, Zhang Chi also realized that the whole thing seemed a little abnormal, and it might have something to do with Alex.

"Well, it should have something to do with Alex."

Zhang Chi thought about it for a while, then looked at the bidders who were bidding, and felt more certain in his heart. He also looked at Alex with a questioning look, and Zhang Chi wanted to find out what was going on.

The third change is to ask everyone for monthly tickets, recommendation tickets and other supports! ! !
