Chapter 552

Chen Fan and the others were bored and sat in the third row of the venue. The rows of seats in the auction room were relatively spacious.

As for the auction order of the Christie Auction, Chen Fan and the others have nothing to do. They already know that "Sky Star" is the finale of this auction, which means it will be held at the end, so the first ones are all There was no interest in the auction activities of other lots.

Chen Fan looked at the auction display this afternoon, and had to say that there were a lot of auction items, and many things caught his attention, but at this moment, he had no intention of buying anything, although he was very concerned about the auction today. I am a little interested in several famous watches and jewelry.

The lighting in the venue was not particularly good, maybe it was to match the picture effect of the slide projector, the stage was rather dim, but the actual objects on the stage could still be seen clearly, after all, it was a beam of light projected from the roof, which visually highlighted the objects And let people ignore the existence of the auctioneer.

A piece of oil painting and handicrafts are constantly being brought onto the stage and taken off the stage. The whole auction process is very fast. Most of the interested people have goals. After they came out, the bidding started. Although there were some unsold auctions, most of the lots still went through several rounds of bidding before the winner was finally determined. Only a few lots attracted fierce bids from the audience, and the competition was extremely fierce.

Chen Fan chatted and laughed with Liu Ying in the audience, and didn't pay much attention to the things on the stage, but in order not to affect the people around him, he spoke in a very low voice, so he had to get closer to Liu Ying, which was more appear intimate.

The auction process soon came to the finale. The "Sky Star" sapphire was also brought to the stage by the staff. After the slide projector was turned on, a photo of the sapphire appeared on the screen. photos of gems, boasting about them in fluent English.

Chen Fan could only understand some of the words, and when they were combined, he could only guess at random. Fortunately, Liu Ying thoughtfully began to act as an on-site interpreter, whispering the auctioneer's promotional words to him.

"The starting bid is 1200 million pounds? It's almost 1900 million yuan. This price is really cheap." Chen Fan whispered.

Liu Ying said with a smile: "It's just the starting price. It's just a routine. Let more people participate first. If the bid is lower later, maybe someone else's auction or the owner of the gemstone will find someone to drive up the price."

"That's right, there's no such thing as cheap." Chen Fan nodded, but his eyes were still looking at the auctioneer on the stage. At this moment, he kept waving his hands to signal everyone in the audience to look at the plate held by the staff beside him. It is the "Star of the Sky" sapphire, a gemstone that can also be ranked internationally.

"It's just a show, and you can see the wool clearly." Chen Fan watched the auctioneer keep asking the staff to show the gems to people in three directions below the stage, and said that those who had ideas had already been in the exhibition hall. I've seen enough, how do I look at it now, why didn't I feel that this foreigner was so procrastinating before.

Fortunately, no matter how much you try to exaggerate the atmosphere, after all the things that should be done are done, it is finally time for the bidding stage.

"The starting price is 12 million" the auctioneer took the auction hammer on the stage and repeated it several times, and finally said the last sentence: "Now let's start bidding."

As soon as the words were finished, Chen Fan caught sight of Zheng Xiaopang raising the sign out of the corner of his eye. No, the fat man was not holding up the sign. He was clearly waving the sign.

Chen Fan hastily stretched out his hand to press Zheng Xiaopang's hand and said in a low voice, "Don't get excited, calm down, the people from the auction company will think you're making trouble on purpose and kick you out."

Turning around inadvertently after speaking, he found that many people behind him were already raising their cards. Turning around, Chen Fan found that, except for Zheng Xiaopang who was a little excited to wave the cards earlier, most of the people in the front rows were eager to try. But no one raised the placard from the beginning to the end.

"Look at the people in front, your battle is behind, you should rest now." Chen Fan whispered to Zheng Xiaopang again.

"Huhu." Zheng Xiaopang let out a long breath, "I was a little nervous before, so I laughed cheaply."

Obviously, the auctioneer had anticipated the current situation. Seeing the number plates being raised in the audience, he was unmoved at all, and just counted silently. However, this was Chen Fan's guess. He might be counting silently After all, the bidding was a bit fast at the beginning, and it was a bit unclear what price the people were quoting when they raised their placards.

After Chen Fan sat upright, he smelled a faint scent of perfume, which came from Liu Ying, and whispered in his ear, "The quotations in the back are just to watch the fun, I guess I saw someone Just play with the cards, if it really hits their hands, I'm sure they won't be able to afford the money."

"There are so many idlers abroad?" Chen Fan responded in a low voice.

"The two rows in front are the strong contenders for this jewel. You don't know. After I signed up, I received a call from the company, saying that someone is investigating the financial situation of Ikos Company." Liu Ying continued Didi's words. .

"I see your number plate." Chen Fan got stuck in the middle of speaking, and just turned to look at Liu Ying.

"The number plates are issued in the order of registration time, but the seat number is arranged by the auction company." Liu Ying said in a low voice, "But it doesn't matter where you sit, the important thing is that you want to win it."

After speaking, Liu Ying looked at the blue gemstone on the auction table.

"Hehe." Chen Fan chuckled twice before he said, "It's true that I was a little tempted after seeing the photos, but I definitely can't snatch what Xiaopang wants. We can only pay more attention to the news in the future." .

If you like it, there is no problem, as long as there is something to sell, I will definitely give it to you. '

"2850 million pounds, No. 112, is there any bid?"

I don't know how the auctioneer on the stage knew, but the man's voice suddenly sounded from the stage.

It seems to be a little quiet at this time, and there should be no one behind to continue to hold the sign.

According to the information Chen Fan read on the Internet, the stock price of "Sky Star" is between 3 million and 4 million pounds, which is about 4 million to 6 million yuan. The price is not low, but Chen Fan feels that It's not too high, maybe this is the difference between having money in your pocket and not having money.

Those who have money in their pockets will not feel expensive when they see such prices.

Finally, a lady sitting in the first row raised the sign in her hand, and then someone not far away began to raise the sign. The bidders in the first two rows finally started to participate in the auction after waiting for a while.
