When the bidders began to increase the price, Xu Yun had been silently observing. He had arranged for Jin Hong to bid, but the price had not yet arrived.
Moreover, these bidders were all men, and Xu Yun was waiting for Tao Yinan, a woman.
When the price of this bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite reached eight million, Xu Yun even gave up. Perhaps they were too idealistic, and Tao Yinan might not even be at the scene.
"Let's stimulate it." Xu Yun said to Jin Hong. If the provocation this time still couldn't force them out, then he would really have to make other plans.
Jin Hong nodded and raised his card for the first time. "Ten million."
A bottle of red wine, just a bottle of red wine, the price had broken through eight digits! Ten million could buy a small duplex of more than 200 square meters in Beijing's Fourth Ring Road.
When the price of ten million came out, the audience seemed to be quiet. The price increase from one million to two million, and several people withdrew from the competition for this red wine.
No. 12, who was the first to bid, could not help but frown. This was almost beyond his acceptable range.
But for this bottle of red wine, he still wanted to make a final struggle. "Twelve million!"
This was his last bid. If the hammer fell, although he felt that his flesh was being cut, there was nothing he could not endure for this red wine.
Xu Yun smiled helplessly. It seemed that someone really wanted this bottle of wine. This price was even beyond Xu Yun's tolerance.
Ten million was the estimated price Xu Yun estimated for this bottle of wine. This price was calculated by him. In 1985, it could be sold for a price equivalent to one million yuan. Now, the price was five times higher, so it should be the same value.
In addition, this was a charity auction. If the price was doubled, it would be about ten million.
Therefore, the price reaching this level already exceeded Xu Yun's expectations.
Xu Yun could be considered to represent the mentality of the majority. When the price of twelve million was called, everyone at the scene seemed to fall into a state of waiting, waiting for the hammer to fall.
"Mister from Number 12 has bid 12 million! I can see that this bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite is really priceless. It's definitely a treasure that's suitable for a wine lover's collection! "The auctioneer said," Now, 12 million going once! Is there anyone else who wants to raise the price? "
This was the first time the auctioneer had called out such a thing.
No. 12 seemed to have seen the dawn of victory. Although the price was a little more than he had expected, he could still leave happily if he could get it.
"12 million going twice!" After all, the auctioneer was an experienced person. Since the price had already reached this point, there were basically no big changes.
Who wouldn't want to get off work early? The auctioneer had the same mentality.
However, just as he was about to shout for the third strike, a new troublemaker entered the fray!
"15 million." Tao Yinan raised the number 99 sign in her hand.
She knew that there were no more competitors now. She only needed to raise the price even higher and she would be able to win it easily. Moreover, the price in her heart was twenty million, so this was really a little "too cheap" for her.
15 million?!
The whole audience was stunned. Not only was No. 12 shocked, but even the auctioneer was shocked. The wooden hammer in his hand almost fell to the ground.
Of course, the most shocked people were Xu Yun and his people. His sixth sense told Xu Yun that the person he had been waiting for had finally opened her mouth! That's right, this time it's absolutely impossible to escape. It must be!
Many people's eyes were focused on Tao Yinan. Tao Yinan slowly put down the auction sign in her hand and smiled.
"15 million. No. 99, this lady has already bid 15 million!" The auctioneer said excitedly.
No. 12 was a little angry, but he really didn't dare to call out anymore. However, if he gave up at this time, he really wouldn't be willing! He really wouldn't be willing!
"15 million and five hundred thousand!" No. 12's increase this time was much more stingy. He didn't have that kind of courage. This was just a provocation because he was unwilling to give up.
"20 million." Tao Yinan casually raised her sign again, not giving her opponent any chance to breathe at all.
This was definitely an instant kill. No. 12 was instantly reduced to ashes.
The whole audience quietly looked at the woman who bid 20 million for a bottle of red wine.
"20 million going once!" The auctioneer was panicking. "20 million going twice!"
No one would continue to bid. This was a completely sky-high price.
Xu Yun looked at Jin Hong. Jin Hong nodded. Although he still couldn't see the person clearly, his intuition told him that a woman with this kind of aura was probably only Miss Tao of the Tao family.
"20 million going thrice!!!"
In the end, the bottle of 1787 Chateau Lafite fell into Tao Yinan's hands at a sky-high price. Tao Yinan was naturally happy to get this bottle of red wine at a price that was acceptable to her.
All the auction items had come to an end. The people who bought the items felt comfortable in their hearts. They all got up and went backstage to do some procedures.
Those who didn't get anything had no regrets. After all, this was a charity party. These things weren't that important or necessary.
Xu Yun and Jin Hong also quickly got up and went backstage. Jin Hong still needed to see the person clearly in order to be more certain.
…
About ten minutes later, Tao Yinan came backstage to handle the auction procedures. Although the procedures weren't troublesome, it still took time to deal with them.
It was at this time that Jin Hong approached and made a judgment on Tao Yinan at close range.
Xu Yun looked at the woman wearing "Hate the Sky High Boots" and a Bulgari necklace from a distance.
Intuition told Xu Yun that everything he did wasn't in vain. They found the person they were looking for.
Jin Hong also came back quickly and reported everything he saw to Xu Yun. "I can 100% confirm that she is Tao Yinan of the Tao family! I promise I didn't see it wrong. "
With Jin Hong's final judgment, this matter didn't need to be explained anymore.
"I think sometimes some things really need to be answered." Xu Yun: "It's not too late to wait for her to finish the charity."
Xu Yun smiled. After all, she had already spent the money. If he didn't take the wine back now, it would be too embarrassing.
Jin Hong understood Xu Yun's meaning. The two of them left quietly and went outside to meet Lin Ge and Jie Wen.
Jie Wen took out his phone and took a photo. It was the scene of Tao Yinan staring at the red Ferrari in a daze. Now, it could be said that Tao Yinan's identity could be confirmed from all aspects.
Zuo Meiyan and the others were handling the matters inside. Xu Yun took care of Tao Yinan's matter.
"Brother, what should we do next?" Lin Ge said, "Wait for her to come out and press her down?"
"No need to be so anxious." Xu Yun: "That way, she will think that we are trying to steal her wine. Let's wait for her to come out and follow her. See where she goes. "
Lin Ge nodded. "En, it's more polite to 'visit' her."
"Yes." Xu Yun: "Such an important guest is coming to Qingdao. Of course, we have to pay attention to our etiquette. As the saying goes, isn't it a joy to have friends coming from afar? We can't scare them. "
The four of them prepared four cars and stared at them from different places.
About an hour later, Tao Yinan walked out of the hotel with the red wine that she had spent 20 million yuan on. The waiter drove her car to the entrance.
Tao Yinan seemed to be in a good mood. She even tipped the waiter 100 yuan. Then, she got into the car and quickly left the hotel.
Xu Yun and the other three also drove out separately. Because many people were leaving the hotel at this time, there were more cars. No one would notice that others were following their car. Everyone was the same. They were all leaving after attending the auction.
Tao Yinan's bad mood became better because of the bottle of red wine. She listened to her favorite songs all the way back to the InterContinental Ocean Hotel. She didn't care that there were cars following her.
