Chapter 718: That's nothing

"Just now you asked for 1.3 million US dollars..." The auctioneer replied subconsciously, and then found something wrong.
However, the words have been spoken, and it is too late to think about the change, so he has to continue: "This gentleman is asking for 1.3 million, 130 for the first time, is there a price increase?"
There was no sound at the scene, Tan Zhenhua turned his eyes to the Middle Easterner, and found that he just shook his head slightly without any further action. Apparently, after his fierce remarks, he gave up his intention to continue the auction.
This made him secretly relieved.
To be honest, Xiao Tan Tan is indeed rich now, and he doesn't care about spending more money to bid the dragon head with the highest bidding price. However, if the bidding opponent is a local tyrant in the Middle East, he is still a little nervous. .
This is not only because most of the local tyrants in the Middle East have so much money that they run a banknote printing factory at home. More importantly, in his impression, the brain circuits of these local tyrants are generally more sophisticated.
This is going to get angry, who knows what the consequences will be?
It would be better to act first, to disrupt the auction situation, and while demonstrating determination, he also told his opponent that he did not come to shoot this dragon head for the sake of fighting fortune.
It seems that this strategy has been successful so far. The local tycoons in the Middle East have given up bidding, and everyone else has also chosen to be silent. After all, the special lot of "Dragon Head" is of great significance to China, but for others, it is only a 200-year-old piece. There are only exquisite bronzes that are dispensable, and it's not guilty to touch the inverted scales of the young man on the court who doesn't seem to be annoying.
The bidding on the stage was repeated for the third time. The hammer in the hands of the auctioneer has been raised high. As long as the hammer falls, the dragon head will officially belong to Tan Zhenhua and will return to its hometown, which has been gone for 123 years. .
However, all this was interrupted by a man in a suit who hurried in. This man, wearing the standard uniform of the security personnel in the venue, handed a note to the auctioneer who was about to knock off the auction hammer.
The auctioneer was stunned for a moment, but after hurriedly reading the contents of the note, his face showed joy.
He gently lowered the auction mallet held high in his hand, then cleared his throat in the amazement of the audience, and began to recite the content on the note: "On behalf of Sotheby’s Auction House, I would like to reiterate that, in view of the fact that During the auction, someone questioned the legal source of the "Dragon Head" Lot No. 13658, which was awarded by the company. The company will suspend the auction of this lot in the spirit of observing the law and being responsible to both buyers and sellers. For your understanding, everyone here."
After reading this note, the auctioneer wiped the sweat from his forehead in relief, glanced at Tan Zhenhua's direction, and then shrugged his shoulders pretendingly, "It seems that the auction of this dragon head has to be cancelled." Now, okay, gentlemen and ladies, I hope this little accident does not affect your interest. There will be more precious lots coming soon, please let me know below!"
This turning point was far beyond Tan Zhenhua’s expectations. He also had to admire the means of the person who presided over all of this in secret. However, when things had reached this point, it was obviously inappropriate to entangle them again. The auction of "Dragon Head" was cancelled. The goal was not achieved. This was obviously not the result he wanted. Now he first needs to think of an emergency countermeasure to stabilize the development of the situation.
The role of Sotheby’s auction house in this matter is very important, and they must know a lot of inside information, but unfortunately they will not easily tell themselves that they have paid too little attention to this aspect in their previous lives and do not know this auction house at all. What is sacred, then it is necessary to investigate this auction house immediately, and there is another advantage in doing so. The "Dragon Head" is just one of China’s many cultural relics exiled overseas. In the future, there will be countless such Things will repeat themselves, maybe you can do something in advance.
As for the "dragon head" that has appeared today, it naturally can't easily let it slip away from under his eyelids.
Thinking of this, he got up and left the auction site. Anyway, there was nothing he was interested in next, so it was better to take this time to do something meaningful.
The three of Zhan Nuozhu also went out of the auction scene, planning to ask Tan Zhenhua what he planned to do next, but saw that he was not in a hurry to go back to the room, but pressed the button to the first floor after getting on the elevator.
What to do in the hotel lobby? He was a little strange, but when Tan Zhenhua raised his index finger between his lips and made a silent gesture to him, he became more curious, but it was obvious that Tan Zhenhua didn’t intend to explain it to him now, so he had to take it with him. The question mark in his head limped and followed Tan Zhenhua.
He saw Tan Zhenhua walk down to the hotel lobby and walked directly to the reception desk, and then asked: "Excuse me, what is the telephone number for the police?"
He saw Tan Zhenhua call "999" after getting the answer.
He saw Tan Zhenhua shouting into the microphone that his things had been stolen...
Is this also OK? !
Zhan Nuozhu felt that his understanding of Tan Zhenhua had reached a whole new level today.
...
"Can you do this? I'm afraid the Dubai police won't take care of your case? They can't."
Back in the room, Zhan Nuozhu asked Tan Zhenhua at first.
"Of course I know that the Dubai police cannot handle such cases, but they should at least check the situation on Sotheby’s. I did that to help Sotheby’s make up my mind and tell them that I would not let go easily. And I guess Sotheby’s will come to me soon, because they now know that if they can’t convince me as soon as possible, I’ll make the matter even worse. They’re an auction house, and they must be a little grey in private. However, they still have to open the door to do business. If this kind of thing spreads out, many of their businesses will be difficult to do in the future, so solving it privately with me is the best option they can make at the moment."
"But if they plan to settle with you privately, why don't they just announce your bid success at the auction just now? Wouldn't that be easier?" Zhang Xiaohua asked puzzledly.
"That's not the same." Tan Zhenhua explained patiently: "If they reluctantly keep the auction going on, under the circumstances at the time, no one will bid anymore, and the things will definitely belong to me, but then they will be offered to all those who come to participate If people leave a very bad image, Sotheby’s will be threatened. What if someone else will follow suit in the future? Does their company’s reputation need to be done? Can you still do business like today? I know that the biggest auctions in auction houses are artworks and cultural relics, and the source of these things is very complicated."
Only then did Zhan Nuozhu understand the taste. After secretly complaining that Tan Xiaozi’s Huahua intestines have nine bends and eighteen bends, he asked without worry, "I said that, but if someone else thinks about it. What if you are different?"
Tan Zhenhua shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's okay. Looking back, I will find out who the owner of Sotheby's is and what is going on. If it doesn't work, I will buy it."
"Fuck you will die if you don't brag for a day..."
