Even if he can only make the lot sell for a penny more, he will try his best to "show off" his eloquence.
After all, a higher transaction price not only represents more commission, but also reflects the professional level of the auctioneer.
Half a minute later, there was still no one raising a sign at the scene, but the phone buyers made their moves one after another.
The quotation went all the way from 50 to 54, and soon rose to 57.
Except for sporadic applause, no one made an offer.
The phone buyers who have bid for several rounds of prices have temporarily died down, and seem to be considering whether to continue to increase the price.
Zhang Da held up his number plate at this moment.
"58 million!"
The auctioneer who watched Liulu immediately confirmed Zhang Da's quotation, "Thank you for your bid, sir."
After all, he extended his hand to other buyers on the scene:
"The current asking price is $58. Has anyone in the house offered a higher price?"
After waiting for about 20 seconds, the auctioneer saw that no one responded, and turned his attention to the operators on the side.
"Buyers before the phone and the Internet, 58, the only watch in the world, and the power to unveil the mystery of the Tudor headquarters, are you going to miss it?"
After a pause of more than 10 seconds, he said again: "If no one continues to increase the price, I will accept this gentleman's offer."
Then, he smiled and said to Zhang Da:
"Thank you gentleman for waiting."
Some people applauded Zhang Da at the scene.
Fan Jiang said softly to Zhang Da: "Is it possible to win?"
"I do not know."
Zhang Da responded lightly, while Yu Guang glanced behind him.
Cheng Mingming, who was sitting behind him, still didn't move, he didn't know if he gave up or was waiting for the opportunity.
Thirty seconds later, an operator has a new quote:
"62 million!"
"62!" the auctioneer immediately said, "I appreciate that our quotation is still increasing by 2 dollars..."
Before the words fell, another operator gave a quotation——
65 million.
"Damn, why are you so fierce?" Fan Jiang looked past Zhang Da and looked at Lin Hai and Liu Qianyi, "Isn't it procrastination?"
Lin Hai shook his head: "No, well-known auction houses won't smash their own signs."
"Yes, but the popularity of this watch is really high!" Liu Qianyi was a little emotional, "Do you know? Before OnlyWatch started last year, the estimated value of this watch was only 4500 to 5500 Swiss francs."
"What an exaggeration!" Fan Jiang touched Zhang Da nervously: "Zhang Da, are you sure you want to increase the price?"
"Plus!" Zhang Da nodded lightly, "I want this watch!"
He held up his number plate again.
The auctioneer immediately clapped his hands: "66! Thank you, sir! Thank you for your quotation and your support for charity, respected Mr. No. 66!"
"Now, is there a higher offer?"
So far, only Zhang Da has made a bid in the venue, and the auctioneer naturally focused more on the operators.
There was no disturbance in Zhang Da's heart, and he sat quietly on the chair.
Before the auction started, he had made up his mind, and it would naturally not be shaken.
Suddenly, he found that the auctioneer's eyes "cast" over again.
He turned his head and saw a small white hand holding up the number plate.
Cheng Mingming finally bid.
"67! Gentlemen and ladies, the current offer is 67!"
Under the auctioneer's calm voice, Zhang Da heard Cheng Mingming say to him cautiously:
"Excuse me, but I do need this watch."
"What's so embarrassing about that?" Zhang Da smiled at her, "The auction must be for the highest bidder, it's normal."
Cheng Mingming smiled shyly again: "Well, thank you."
When the two had a short exchange, a phone buyer made a new offer - 70.
"It's almost double the price of last year's transaction." Liu Qianyi smiled wryly. "It's crazy. Who would have thought that the price of this watch has doubled hundreds of times in a year."
"Yeah, it's completely beyond imagination!" Lin Hai looked at Zhang Da, "Are you still planning to add it?"
Zhang Da nodded: "Add!"
"Why don't you forget it?" Fan Jiang persuaded, "Isn't it worth buying a Tudor at this price?"
"It's okay, I like this watch."
Zhang Da shook his head and raised his number plate again.
At this time, he suddenly remembered the set of cheap furniture that he thought was worthless, and couldn't help smiling.
How much the lot is worth depends on the buyer himself.
"71, the quotation from Mr. No. 66!" The auctioneer stretched out his arm and pointed at Zhang Da, "Now, does anyone dare to challenge his quotation?"
At the scene, Cheng Mingming didn't raise his sign again, and the operators quietly held their phones.
After about 1 minute, the auctioneer saw that no one was bidding, so he resorted to aggressive methods.
He called the names of two telephone operators who had been quoting clients:
"Now, what are your buyers doing? Afternoon tea? Drinking? Or making an offer?"
Then, he turned to the venue and said: "71, ladies and gentlemen, the unparalleled Tudor watch, the opportunity is not to be missed, and it will never come again."
Just when the auctioneer was trying his best to mobilize the buyer's emotions, Zhang Da suddenly felt that someone behind him gently patted the back of his chair.
Looking back, it was Cheng Mingming.
As if she had made up her mind, this lovely girl said, "Well, I can offer up to 75 yuan. If you promise to pay a higher price, I won't raise my placard anymore."
Zhang Da was stunned for two seconds: "Well, I promise, thank you."
Cheng Mingming lowered his head: "No, you're welcome."
He didn't notice that Huang Shiyi, who was sitting next to Cheng Mingming, glanced at him quietly.
When Zhang Da turned his head again, the auctioneer had already raised his gavel.
Of course, this is also a means of luring.
As long as the auctioneer is willing, he can hold it for a whole day.
Sure enough, after the gavel hung in the air, a new offer came from the operator, 73.
Auctioneer Lightspeed lowered his gavel.
Zhang Da glanced at Cheng Mingming behind him again from the corner of his eye, thought for a while, raised his number plate and said loudly:
"Seven hundred and sixty tho and US dolrs."
Fan Jiang hurriedly pushed him lightly: "Don't get on top, can't you add ten in case? Calm down."
Zhang Da nodded towards him: "Don't worry, brother, I'm calm."
The two of them didn't know that Cheng Mingming, who was sitting behind Zhang Da, was silently watching the back of his chair.
Chapter 50 Unique
In the venue, there were whispers, and many people turned their heads to look at Zhang Da who was sitting on the chair.
"76, the latest quotation is 76, from our Mr. No. 66, from this enterprising oriental buyer!"
After nodding to Zhang Da, the auctioneer looked around at the operator and the buyers at the scene, then raised his gavel again:
"A unique bronze watch, an invitation letter from the mysterious Tudor headquarters, $76, is there anyone willing to pay a higher price?"
This time, the auctioneer waited for 2 minutes, but what he waited for was the news that several telephone buyers announced their abandonment.
Seeing that no one wanted to bid anymore, the auctioneer finally started counting down.
"$76..."
"the first time…"
Huang Shiyi put her head next to Cheng Mingming's ear: "What do you say? Do you want me to lend you money?"
Cheng Mingming shook his head: "No, I agreed to pay a maximum of 75 yuan."
"the second time…"
The auctioneer maintained a still posture after shouting, expecting someone to call out a higher price for the last time.
"You stupid, what's the difference between 75 and 76?" Huang Shiyi pushed Cheng Mingming, "Hurry up, there's no time, isn't this watch very important to your mother?"
"It's really unnecessary. The base price my mother gave me was only 70 yuan, and I added 5 yuan myself." Cheng Mingming looked up at Zhang Da, "Besides, I have already promised others not to bid."
"Don't be stupid, it's only [-] yuan higher!"
Huang Shiyi gritted her teeth and snatched Cheng Mingming's number plate.
"77! From this lady!"
The auctioneer's gavel was lowered again.
Zhang Da looked back suspiciously, but without speaking, he raised his number plate again.
The auctioneer immediately shouted: "78, another offer, from dear Mr. No. 66!"
Lin Hai also turned his head and glanced at Cheng Mingming.
He also heard the conversation between Cheng Mingming and Zhang Da before.
On the auction stage, the auctioneer started a new round of words: "78, Tudor Inheritance Biwan Bronze No. 78 Wristwatch, [-]."
"The only watch in the world, buy her, and the door of the Tudor headquarters will be opened for you."
"Ladies and gentlemen, 78!"
Fan Jiang said softly to Zhang Da: "It's so annoying, he has to talk for at least 5 minutes."
Zhang Da half-jokingly said: "Now I seem to understand the reason why some bosses quote high prices as soon as they come up, at least it can save my time."
Fan Jiang nodded: "It makes sense."
While the two were talking and laughing, there was a slight snatching sound behind them.
Zhang Da looked back and saw that the number plate was back in Cheng Mingming's hands.
Cheng Mingming, whose face was flushed, glanced at Zhang Da, and immediately lowered his head.
Looking at Huang Shiyi beside her, her face was also a little red.
Huang Shiyi also noticed Zhang Da's gaze, and immediately glared at him.
Zhang Da: "???"
He turned his head inexplicably, and simply continued to watch the auctioneer's "performance".
But this time, no matter how much the auctioneer advertised, no one bid anymore.
He finally dropped the gavel: "I officially announce that $78 is a deal! Thank you, Mr. No. 66."
There was applause again at the scene, and more people looked back, trying to see Zhang Da's face clearly.
Fan Jiang winked at Zhang Da: "Congratulations."
The translator applauded Zhang Da: "Congratulations, Mr. Zhang."
On the other side, Lin Hai and Liu Qianyi were also applauding.
