"One hundred and ten thousand!"
"One hundred and twenty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand!"
"One hundred and fifty thousand once!" One hundred and fifty thousand twice! One hundred and fifty thousand thrice! "Deal!"
These voices were all quite pleasant to the ear, because they were all women bidding. Even the host of the auction was a woman, the beauty in the qipao beside Qi Jinshi. As for Qi Jinshi, he was just sitting at the side and watching.
The auction went smoothly and the procedure was simple. There was no introduction to the item, just a direct bid, and the competition was not fierce. Usually, an item would be sold after less than ten bids.
Just like this, in less than half an hour, ten items had already been sold, and the value of the items was getting higher and higher. From the initial one hundred and fifty thousand, it quickly rose to five million.
"Miss Song, is there no one who can appraise those collections at this auction?" At this time, Ye Meng Ying finally couldn't help but voice out her doubts, "Isn't everyone afraid of buying fake goods?"
"Miss Ye, do you think that if someone appraises it, you won't be able to buy fake goods?" Song Yumei smiled faintly and asked.
Ye Meng Ying was slightly surprised, and then she smiled embarrassedly: "I really don't know, I'm not familiar with this area."
"Right now, the collection world is very chaotic, a lot of fake goods are identified as real, and then auctioned off, a fake painting that costs ten dollars can also be sold for ten million, the so-called antique appraisers, many of them do not care about professional ethics, you can go and draw a painting yourself, and then give each of them a few hundred thousand, they can also identify your painting as an ancient painting." Song Yumei seemed to have a good impression of Ye Meng Ying, so she patiently explained the chaotic phenomenon of the collectors to her.
Glancing at Qi Jinshi, Song Yumei continued: "This is also the reason why we came to this kind of private auction, Qi Jinshi is a collector, his eyes have always been very good, every time he auctioned something, he would have to appraise it himself, in the past twenty years, the collection that he auctioned has never been fake, so he has already established a good reputation, no matter what he says, everyone believes it, so naturally there is no need to appraise it anymore."
"So that's how it is." Ye Meng Ying finally understood, "Thank you, Miss Song, for dispelling my doubts."
Song Yumei smiled indifferently and did not say anything else, but Xia Chen yawned at the side. What auction is this? It's really boring, why hasn't that Tang Bohu painting come out yet?
Following that, as the value of the items in the auction grew higher and higher, the auction also became more intense. At this time, Qi Jinshi also began to give a simple introduction to each item, and the speed of the auction naturally became a little slower.
Unknowingly, another hour had passed, and in this hour, Song Yumei did not buy anything. It was as if she had come here for the real Tang Bohu.
"Now, it's the last item in the collection, Tang Yin's painting of a lady." Qi Jinshi's words jolted the sleepy Xia Xia Chen.
On the other side, Qi Jinshi was still introducing the painting, "Everyone knows that Tang Yin is good at painting ladies, he has painted many paintings of ladies in his life, but unfortunately, there are not many of them left, most of them have been damaged, and the ones that can be preserved can be counted on one hand, and the one in my hand is the one that has been preserved the best, I will not say much about its value, the starting price is 50 million!"
Hearing this price, Ye Meng Ying couldn't help but be stunned. She felt that this price was a little outrageous, but Song Yumei's expression remained the same. She glanced at Xia Chen and lightly said: "It depends on your performance."
"50.1 million." Xia Chen spoke up.
At this time, Song Yumei finally frowned. Was this guy purposely throwing her away? Although this auction did not limit the price increase to a very high amount, and it was true that the lowest price could be increased by ten thousand, for such a high price to be increased by ten thousand for the first time, no matter how one looked at it, it seemed a little too shabby.
"Miss Song bids 50.1 million, is there any higher bid?" The qipao beauty beside Qi Jinshi glanced at Xia Zhi and said with her melodious voice, "50.1 million once, 50.1 million twice, are there any more bids?"
Song Yumei looked at the others and couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Before she came here, she had already received news that there were a few people who were determined to obtain the real Tang Bohu, so why wasn't there a single person fighting with her now? This was too strange.
Qi Jinshi also glanced at the crowd with a surprised expression, but everyone seemed to turn a blind eye to his gaze, and no one took any action.
"Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price?" The qipao beauty looked at everyone again and finally continued helplessly, "50.1 million three times! "Deal!"
"Congratulations, Miss Song." Qi Jinshi nodded at Song Yumei, but his expression was a little unnatural. This last auction should have been the finale, and logically speaking, it should have been a fight to the death, but in reality, it was a completely different matter. Song Yumei had only increased the price once, and it had only increased by ten thousand, and she had already obtained the item. This was really not normal.
"Thank you, Elder Qi, for giving up." Song Yumei said indifferently. This painting was originally Qi Jinshi's, which was why she said that.
"Send the painting to Miss Song." Qi Jinshi instructed the qipao beauty beside him.
The qipao beauty nodded and walked towards Song Yumei with the painting in her hand.
"What's going on? I clearly wanted to call out a price just now, but I suddenly couldn't make a sound.
"You too? Me too! "
"Are all of you like this? "I also suddenly realized that I couldn't speak. I wanted to raise my hand, but I realized that I couldn't move either …"
"What the hell? What's going on?"
A dozen or so people suddenly started shouting at the same time. The previously orderly room suddenly became a little noisy and chaotic.
At this moment, Xia Xia took the painting from the qipao beauty and giggled at Song Yumei: "How is it? I did very well, now you should let me chase after you, right? "
Before Song Yumei could say anything, everyone had already rushed over. One of them asked angrily, "Miss Song, did you do something to us just now?"
"If you don't have any evidence, it's best not to spout nonsense!" Song Yumei's face turned cold.
The man was stunned for a moment before he quickly retreated. The others looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything. They quickly returned to their original positions and obediently sat down.
All along, when Song Yumei was bidding with others, she would not use her power to suppress others. Therefore, many times, there were people who snatched things from Song Yumei's hands, and after that, no one took revenge. This made everyone have the illusion that Song Yumei was easy to talk to, but at this time, everyone realized that no matter how easy Song Yumei was to talk to, she was still the young miss of the Song Family, and if they accused her without evidence, the consequences would be severe.
"Let me see what kind of person is worth 50 million." At this time, Xia Zhi had already opened the painting. After taking a glance, he couldn't help but curl his lips, "This woman is too ugly, she's not even worth 50 yuan!"
