Chapter 716: Speak the rules

1.05 million US dollars, this is already the highest price among all the lots in the auction tonight, and of course there are still several more highly valued lots that have not yet appeared.
The Japanese were obviously hesitant, but in the end they raised the placard again. The auction price has risen to 1.1 million U.S. dollars. The white middle-aged man moved his finger, but in the end he shook his head slightly without any further action, apparently withdrawing from the competition. The Arab waved his finger again without hesitation.
The auctioneer’s quotation sounded again for US$1.15 million. Tan Zhenhua has been watching the actions of the Japanese people, and this price has obviously exceeded the psychological bottom line of the Japanese people. He stretched out his hand several times, but after seeing that his opponent was an Arab, Still reluctantly chose to give up.
The Arabs were all covered in white robes. Tan Zhenhua could not see the expression on his face, but from his relaxed sitting posture, he should feel that he had a winning ticket. The auctioneer on the stage also shouted "115" Ten thousand dollars for the second time", while raising the auction mallet in his hand.
Just before he was about to shout "$1.15 million for the third time", Tan Zhenhua raised his hand.
This time even the auctioneer was a little surprised, but out of professional instinct, he still shouted: "1.2 million dollars, this gentleman bid 1.2 million dollars, 1.2 million dollars for the first time." At the same time, he shouted. The auction hammer was pointed in the direction of Tan Zhenhua.
The audience was a little surprised, but the most surprised was obviously the Middle Eastern man. He turned his face to see who suddenly came out and snatched the lot with him at the last minute, and Tan Zhenhua finally saw this one clearly. Looks.
This man is in his thirties. Because he is sitting, he can’t see his figure clearly, but his skeleton should be quite burly, the lines on his face are quite handsome, the eye sockets are very deep, and he has thick black eyebrows and beards that are traditionally Arab. The sparkle in his eyes makes him not a simple character.
And now, these twinkling eyes are staring at Tan Zhenhua's face, as if wanting to see through his heart.
Tan Zhenhua shrugged indifferently, and even smiled at him as a greeting. The Middle Eastern man stared at him for a while, and actually smiled at him, then turned and waved again in the direction of the auctioneer. .
Faced with this situation, the auctioneer on the stage was immediately excited, because this kind of scene was his favorite to see.
The dragon head being auctioned is the lowest price guaranteed by Sotheby’s, and the guaranteed price is US$900,000. That is to say, the seller has already sold it regardless of whether the lot will fail. The worst result is that Sotheby’s auction house bought it at its own expense at a price of 900,000 US dollars. What if it is higher than this price? In addition to the normal 20% commission, Sotheby's can get a 30% share of the excess!
Looking at the current price alone, the transaction price has risen to US$1.25 million, exceeding the minimum guarantee price of 350,000. Sotheby's has already received at least US$105,000 in share!
This also means that, as the auctioneer, he will receive at least $10,000 in extra commission income!
And looking at the situation at the scene, the experienced auctioneer knew that whether it was the rich man in the Middle East or the Asian young man who came out halfway, obviously he did not give up easily. In this case, it is the most important thing. It is easy to shoot at a super premium price.
It seems that today is my lucky day!
The auctioneer was full of energy and shouted loudly: "1.25 million, this gentleman bid 1.25 million US dollars, is there any increase?"
As expected, the Asian young man raised his hand, and to his surprise, the young man did not put his hand down after raising it.
This was not in line with the auction practice. The auctioneer had to cough and pointed the auction hammer at him at the same time, shouting: "1.3 million, this gentleman bid 1.3 million, 1.3 million for the first time." He shouted very much. Working hard, I also wanted to remind the young man that he had seen his gesture and there was no need to raise his hands.
However, the Asian young man was indifferent to his prompts and turned a blind eye, and continued to raise his hand high.
He had no choice but to remind him in a half-joking tone: "Mr., we already know your offer just now. Would you please let go? Otherwise, we will mistakenly think that you want to increase the price again, although in that case I personally No comments."
His words caused a little kind of laughter in the field. Everyone looked at Tan Zhenhua with a smile on their faces and cast a meaningful look at the young man who was acting somewhat recklessly.
I don't know who is a young man who has just debuted, and he still doesn't know how to control his desire for certain things... Most people think so.
What made everyone even more surprised was that this Asian young man stood up after hearing what the auctioneer said. When everyone was exchanging suspicious glances, he said: "No, sir. , You have no misunderstanding."
With a calm and confident smile on his face, everyone was shocked by what he said: "The reason why I raised my hand is to tell everyone here that I am going to make this thing, no matter who it is. I will keep up with the bidding again, but if someone wants to maliciously increase its price, then I guarantee that he will regret it!"
The crowd fell into silence, and after a while, all kinds of noisy sounds suddenly sounded like a pot fried. Someone shouted: "You are threatening, a naked threat!" Others have begun to call security guards loudly. : "Security guard, security guard, invite this gentleman out, he violated the rules!"
Several security personnel in black suits surrounded them, but they were blocked by Zhang Xiaohua, Lu Jiangang, and Zhan Nuozhu who also stood up, and the two sides began to confront each other.
Tan Zhenhua looked at all this coldly, and was not moved at all. Even the expression on his face did not change at all. He also saw that there was a commotion around the Middle Eastern man, who seemed to want to rush out to do something, but was caught by the Middle Eastern man. The man waved his hand to stop, and the Middle Eastern man was looking at him, his eyes full of playfulness.
"Just be quiet, be quiet, gentlemen, please be quiet." The auctioneer desperately beat the auction mallet in his hand, smashing the table "ping-pong", and finally managed to control the chaotic scene, and then turned to Tan Zhenhua frowned and asked: "Sir, do you know what you are doing? You are doing this to break the tradition and rules of the auction. I think you should explain, otherwise, I will let the security ask you out."
"Rules? Explain?" Tan Zhenhua sneered, with an unspeakable gloomy tone: "Do you want to listen to my explanation, do you want to talk to me about the rules? Well, I will explain my rules with you. "
He pointed to the dragon's head, which was shining in the five-color light, and exuded the ancient and far-reaching meaning, and said word by word: "123 years ago, two robbers broke into my house and snatched it, but now it is in the public. It was auctioned and sold in a grandiose place. The higher the price. You dare not try the robbers who robbed our house, but you have to come and talk about the rules with the real owner of this thing. Hahahaha, whoever of you will tell me what you said What are the rules?"
