Reverse Rebirth 1990

Chapter 381 391 [Big Buyer]

As an "veteran" who has been in the auction house for many years, Peter Chen spent a lot of effort in the following days in order to gain Song Zhichao's trust.It can be said that, as an excellent British gentleman, Peter Chen has never flattered anyone like this in his life.And the one he flattered was a young man with black hair and dark eyes.

In the end, Song Zhichao seemed to be moved by Peter Chen's sincerity. Let me ask you, how can you bear with a ghost who stands in front of you, keeps flattering you, and even calls to greet you in the middle of the night?So Song Zhichao accepted Peter Chen and entrusted him with more than 100 pieces of antique art from the Soviet Union that he had sorted out for auction.

After learning of this result, Peter Chen was ecstatic, yes, really ecstatic.

Chen Peter never expected that he would actually gain the trust and affirmation of Song Zhichao, and he would hand over the collection worth [-] million yuan to him for auction.

This time, Peter Chen became excited.You know, he's in a bad situation right now.On the one hand, the head office will give him a promotion and salary increase depending on his performance; on the other hand, other auction companies are pressing him hard.If you want to improve performance, you must come to a big one, and Song Zhichao's collection of more than 100 pieces is simply a timely help.

In the next few days, Peter Chen proudly conducted a pre-auction publicity campaign, sending out invitations and invitations to regular customers of acquaintances, rich people and nobles who are well-known in Hong Kong, inviting them to participate in this auction. A rare auction event.

I have to say that this invitation was very successful. The most important thing is that during the invitation, Peter Chen took photos of all the collections that were about to be auctioned and attached them to the invitation letter, so that the invitees can browse through them. See if there is any favorite collection in this auction.

Obviously, this tactic is very effective, so after the auction of this batch of collections started, there was an endless stream of people participating in the auction, especially those rich and famous officials, etc., almost all came to support them.Even some celebrities who are not convenient to show up have appointed their cronies to come here, the purpose is to take pictures of their favorite collections.

……

At this moment, in Christie's auction hall——
Chen Peter stood at the back of the auction hall, closely watching every move of the entire auction site.For him, today is the last and most important day of this Russian artwork auction, because today there is a heavyweight artwork to be auctioned, that is the manuscript of the great Russian writer Pushkin --- "Fairy Tale Poems" .

Pushkin (179-1837) is the greatest Russian poet and the founder of modern Russian literature.In Pushkin's poetry creation, fairy tale poems occupy an important position.His fairy tale poems have strong characteristics of Russian folk poetry.As early as 1817 to 1820, Pushkin created the rich and romantic long poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila" based on folk tales and legends, which caused a sensation in the entire Russian poetry circle and even made his teacher , Zhukovsky, the most famous poet at that time, was also full of admiration, and even shouted: "Amazing genius! Beautiful poem!" After that, in the 19s, except for the unfinished fairy tale poem "The Story of the She-Bear", Pushkin He left the world with complete and precious five fairy tale poems.

In terms of story content, plot development and character images, all of Pushkin's fairy tale poems retain the characteristics of Russian folk literature.However, under normal circumstances, Russian folk tales are in the form of prose, while the fairy tales recreated by Pushkin appear in the form of poetry, which is more popular and smooth, and is conducive to recitation and singing.Like folk tales, Pushkin's fairy tale poems generally have a meaningful ending, rich in meaning and thought-provoking.As clearly pointed out at the end of "The Story of the Little Golden Rooster": Although fairy tales are fictitious, they have deep meaning; they are of great benefit to kind young people.

For this legendary figure, not to mention the buyers who participated in the auction, even Peter Chen himself couldn't help but want to participate in the auction. After all, the name "Pushkin" is too famous all over the world.

After a lot of competition, the manuscript of Pushkin's "Fairy Tale Poems" has soared from a low price of 30 Hong Kong dollars to 300 million Hong Kong dollars. However, judging from the current situation, there are still three bidders who are eyeing this peerless poem manuscript.

No.1 is a special professor of the University of Hong Kong, specializing in Russian literature, so he is very familiar with and loves Pushkin, and he is determined to win this manuscript.

No.2 is an executive of Hong Kong Zhou Taifu Jewelry Co., Ltd., and also a foreigner. He seems to be very interested in this manuscript, so he chased it all the way, and also meant to keep this treasure in his pocket.

The third one is a young man who looks like a frail scholar with glasses. He looks a bit embarrassed. In contrast, for some unknown reason, he keeps making phone calls and taking out his handkerchief to wipe his sweat.

Chen Peter has been running the auction house for so many years, and he can tell at a glance that the young man should be acting as a proxy for others, which is why he is so nervous and hesitant.

As if to prove his guess, the next auction continued.

300 million quickly soared to 550 million. Obviously, the jeweler's executive couldn't bear it, shook his head, and quit.

Next, only the professor at the University of Hong Kong and the young man who bid on behalf of others were left.

The exciting auction started again, and the young man kept wiping his sweat again and again.

Soon, the lot has soared from 550 million to 580 million.

This time the young man was also discouraged, because the owner who entrusted him to auction said that if it exceeds 580 million, he will voluntarily give up and stop following the auction.

After wiping off his sweat, the young man finally let out a sigh of relief. Although it was a pity that he didn't help the master complete the task this time, it was not his fault. Who made the price of this lot so high.

"580 million once!"

"580 million second time!"

"580 million third..."

Seeing that the master of ceremonies in charge of the auction was about to shout: "580 million for the third time, a deal!"

At this time, someone raised his hand and said, "800 million!"

With a bang, everyone was dumbfounded, and they all looked at the seller who was holding a sign and raised the price to "800 million".

I saw that the seller was a bald guy with a strong physique, and he didn't look like an art lover.

Everyone was amazed, they didn't understand who this majestic bald man was, and why he was so sharp that he raised the price to 800 million in one go?
Are you crazy?
The university professor who had been swearing by this manuscript, now hesitated. In fact, his psychological price was at most six million yuan. Now that they have suddenly increased it to eight million, how can he fight with others.

"I give up!" The university professor shook his head.

Looking at the bald man, it's like looking at a fool.

Yes, if not a fool, who would raise the price like this?There is simply no place to spend money.

The bald man grinned at him, gave a majestic smile, and said to the master of ceremonies, "Don't you hurry up and read your lines? I'm still waiting to pay and receive the goods!"

Seeing the bald man being so arrogant, the others could only shake their heads and smile wryly.

800 million to buy a manuscript is sharp enough.

……

The auction was coming to an end. Seeing that the item he participated in was finally auctioned off for 800 million yuan, the young man who helped others saw the bald man enviously, got up and left his seat, and walked out of the auction hall.

Not long after he left, the bald man glanced sideways at him, then looked to the other side of the hall, and nodded towards a handsome man.

The man also stood up from behind, straightened his extremely well-fitting narrow white suit, and walked out.
