American Peak Life

Lu Ning was also a little helpless: "This guy, he can't be a spy sent by the enemy." At this time, Lu Ning was still very calm. If he competed now, he would definitely raise the price of the copper head further. Therefore, Lu Ning chose to restrain himself.

At first, seeing everyone's lack of interest, Lu Ning was secretly happy. It would be best if no one made a move. When the auction is about to fail, he will make a move. At this time, even if others want to increase the price, they have to see if they are offended. It's Lu Ning.

What's the matter, you didn't bid just now, but when I, Young Master Lu called out the price, you all jumped up, isn't it obvious that you want to cheat Young Master Lu?In that case, I'm sorry, I, Lu Ning, have a bad temper, so basically everyone will take this into consideration, and will not compete with Lu Ning in the auction of the cow's head.

As for the other two copper heads after that, each depends on their ability, but at least, Lu Ning can take the cow heads at a very low price.

But now, everything was ruined by Chen Jie, a little white, just to show off in front of the girl he likes, which led to so much extra money.

Natalie was amused by Lu Ning's metaphor, as if it was true, this metaphor is very appropriate.

The auction originally required a battle of wits and courage, but this brainless guy sold his own people directly.

At this time, Old Professor Wu also shook his head helplessly. Sun Lan was glaring at this self-assertive guy. Yu Xin and Ke Xin didn't speak, but just glanced at Chen Jie. However, Chen Jie was not in his eyes. The worship originally imagined, how should I put it, is similar to watching two fools.

But now, the price of the bull's head has been fired up to 50 euros, and it is still rising.

"Xiao Lan, there is no way to go on like this. Or, just pay a high price and see if I can scare these people away." Old Professor Wu and Sun Lan suggested.

Sun Lan thought so too, the price rose little by little, and the bidders at this time couldn't feel how far the price had gone. Only a sudden price that shocked them could wake them up.

While the two were discussing, the price had already exceeded the 60 euro mark.

"Xiaolan, I can't wait any longer. Report 80 first, otherwise there will be no deterrent effect after a while." Professor Wu's analysis is also reasonable, the price increase of 10 Euros and 20 Euros are still different.

Sun Lan nodded, and raised the quotation board in her hand: "80 Euros." The cold voice spread throughout the audience.

At this moment, just as Professor Wu expected, this offer instantly cooled everyone down.

Many people stopped bidding and began to calculate, especially the few delays arranged by "Sotheby's". Under the eyes of the person in charge, they have stopped bidding one after another. Already satisfied.

Chapter 527 Lu Ning makes a move

Just as Sun Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the quotation appeared again: "82 Euros." An Italian collector tentatively quoted the price again, which made the whole group of the Shanghai Museum deeply moved. Frowning, this price has greatly exceeded my estimate. You know, I only brought 2000 million yuan, and even if I add the 300 million yuan I prepared, the total is only 2300 million yuan.

Calculated according to the current ratio of renminbi to euro at 1:10, it is only 230 million euros, and my goal is to take all three bronze heads. However, the first bull head now exceeds 3 euros. I don't know what the price will be. Now, I am in a dilemma. If I continue to increase the price, the goal of getting back 82 bronze heads may not be realized. Is it that I have to put all my eggs in one basket now, only as many as I can get?

"Xiaolan, call for 100 million, try again, if it doesn't work, forget it, and see the trend of the next two." Old Professor Wu also understands the meaning, that is to tell all the house raids, our highest price is only 100 million Euro, no matter how high the price is, I can't afford it myself.

In this case, maybe I can buy the next two copper heads at a price of 100 million euros each. Can't keep up with changes.

"100 million euros." At this time, Sun Lan could only follow the good advice, and she had no better way, so she could only take one step at a time.

However, the offer this time obviously did not scare off the Italian collector: "110 million euros." This time, the other party directly increased the price by 10 euros, which made Professor Wu frown a little. Could it be that he made a wrong estimate?The other party is not targeting yourself?

In fact, Professor Wu is an expert in the research and protection of cultural relics, but he is not clear about collections. At least there is a market for these collections, so he is not afraid that the prices will not rise in the future, and the liquidity in the hands of these big collectors is not small. It's not a big deal for them to pay hundreds of thousands of euros more. The big deal is to keep it for a few years before selling it.

Sun Lan looked at Old Professor Wu, who shook his head, apparently ready to give up, and the stock price was more than double that of his own. Although it was indeed like bringing these copper heads back to China, it seems , is hopeless.

Sun Lan also sighed, and tightly held the number plate in her hand. Although she was really unwilling to give up like this, but with the price in front of her eyes, she really didn't have enough capital to participate in the competition, so she could only put her hopes in the back two. On this copper head, I also hope that these collectors will use up their working capital again.

Seeing that the group of people who came from Shanghai gave up the competition, Lu Ning roughly calculated how much money they brought. To be honest, they definitely miscalculated the current popularity of collectibles in the market.

On the other side, the Italian collector also heaved a sigh of relief. Seeing that the magic city had given up, he let go of his hanging heart. You know, even though he is so calm, his liquidity That's it, if the opponent persists for a few rounds, I will definitely give up, but now it seems that I have succeeded in stealing the chicken.

"Everyone, are there any new bids? Is there any more? 110 million euros for the first time, 110 million euros for the second time." The auctioneer has already started reading.

A smile appeared on the Italian collector's face, and at this moment, a very magnetic voice sounded, causing commotion in the entire venue.

"140 million euros." It was Lu Ning who raised the quotation board in his hand for the first time, and at this moment, all eyes were on Lu Ning.

Lu Ning, who had not made any moves before, seemed to be consciously ignored by everyone. It would be best not to participate, otherwise, all the people present were no match for Lu Ning.

Of course, the most important thing is that this can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized auction of "Sotheby's", so the collectors who come here are definitely not those international giants. Although the competition is fierce, the price is the same.

But at this moment, Lu Ning's strong attack is completely different. In the eyes of everyone present, Lu Ning is that giant crocodile, and he cannot fight against it.

Sure enough, this guy really came here for the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs. To Lu Ning who is holding a number plate at the moment.

This made Chen Jie a little bit jealous, hum, isn't it just that there are two stinky coins, what's so good about it, I haven't bid before, isn't it just playing tricks on everyone present.

But the Italian collector was very calm. Since Lu Ning made the move, then there was really nothing wrong with him. In front of Lu Ning, his wealth was only at the level of shrimp, so he might as well be more sensible and quit early.

But at this moment, other collectors want to move their minds. Directly, there are rumors in the collection circle that there are collectors who want to collect the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs. Is this the one in front of me?

You should know that Delfina, the chairman of the board of directors of the French LVH Group, and Her Royal Highness Princess Madeleine, the second princess of Sweden, have all made similar remarks.

And the two of them are also related to Lu Ning, and it should be certain now that the big collector who wants to collect the 12 zodiac signs is undoubtedly Lu Ning.

However, even if you guessed these, so what?The key is that he is not as rich as Lu Ning.

But then again, now, Lu Ning is bidding, 140 million euros, most people here can afford this money, but the key is that they can't get it.

Come on, it must be a feud. After all, when the Italian collector bid 110 million euros just now, he didn't do anything. Now it's Lu Ning's turn to bid 140 million euros, but he wants to follow the price. Offended?

Don't follow, hehe, it's really uncomfortable, now that I understand, Lu Ning just took a fancy to the bronze heads of the 12 zodiac signs, what should I do?Head-to-head with Lu Ning, the chance of winning is very small, and there will be an enemy.

At this time, several smart collectors had already started calling and contacting their own circles, spreading the word that they wanted to buy copper heads of the 12 zodiac signs, and the price was not limited.

As long as I have one in my hand, I am not afraid that Lu Ning will not buy it. If it is not possible, I will hand it over to the auction for hype, anyway, Lu Ning will definitely sell it.

"140 million euros for the first time, 140 million euros for the second time, and 140 million euros for the third time. Congratulations to Mr. Lu, the first one of the zodiac ox."

At this time, Lu Ning smiled, as if he had done a trivial thing.

Chapter 528 Moral Kidnapping

The first half of the auction ended. In the end, the last lot of the first half, the ox head of the Chinese zodiac, became Lu Ning's bag. At this time, it was time to rest, and the "Sotheby's" auction provided some refreshments , Coffee was given to the guests present, Lu Ning and Natalie sat on the seats and chatted.

"Lu, I feel that for the other two copper heads in the second half, the price competition should be very fierce. You just made the final bid to set the world, and these collectors have given you enough face, but the next tiger head and monkey head, It's about to become their target." Natalie said with some concern, although Lu Ning will definitely get it in the end, but this requires more money, and also exposes her goal.

"No, on the contrary, Natalie." However, Lu Ning smiled slightly and did not agree with Natalie's opinion.

"Oh, what do you say?" Natalie asked a little puzzled.

"You understand psychology, so let me ask you, if you knew you would lose, would you still go all out to snatch something from someone you don't want to offend? Moreover, the auction house is the only one who will profit in the end." Lu Ning's words made Natalie figure out the key in an instant.

"So, what you mean is that you can get the tiger head and monkey head in the second half as long as you pay a lower price?"

"That's not true, Natalie, sometimes you still have to give face to everyone present, at least, the price must be higher than 140 million euros, otherwise, even if you offend everyone present, it's forcing them down, even if They don't say anything, but they have some resentment in their hearts, which will cause trouble for my subsequent acquisitions."

"This is what Huaguo said, buying horse bones with a thousand dollars?" Natalie smiled smugly, well, this explanation is correct.

"What can you say, besides, if I offer 10 Euros, even if everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak out, the "Sotheby's" auction house will not be willing."

While Lu Ning was chatting with Natalie, a group of five people from the Shanghai Metropolis Museum appeared in front of Lu Ning. Yes, they came to find Lu Ning and wanted to ask Lu Ning to take pictures of the twelve zodiac signs. first purpose.

Although I didn't take the cow's head, at least it is now in Lu Ning's hands, not those foreigners, which is gratifying.
