461 Shifting the focus and concealing the true purpose

After all, this painting is a copy of the expert Virgill.

The value of this kind of artwork is certain, but if it wants to rise sharply, it depends on luck and how the biggest collector will hype it up in the future.

Therefore, many people do hesitate at this time and consider how long it takes to raise prices and bring profits.

At this time, a gap of one second can give Vergil a higher probability, a lower price to say the "deal" and sell the painting to Bill.

Li Changheng looked at Vergil put away the smile on his face and took the price tag from Annie.

He shouted directly, "100,000 pounds."

Then he didn't look at the surprised Virgil at all, but turned his head to look at the bald head before, so as not to be seen by the old fox Virgil.

Then he hooked his finger at the bald old man and smiled and showed a provocative look. The meaning was obvious to tell everyone that if you want to play, you should quote.

The bald man looked happy and immediately quoted, "110,000 pounds."

Li Changheng raised the sign without thinking and said, "200,000."

Now, Virgil and Bill, who was in charge of the quotation, were shocked and didn't know what to do.

What kind of antique dealer Bill is? After so many years, many people have known about it.

If he dares to quote at this time and keep adding, there will definitely be doubts.

Moreover, a painting of oil is only a few thousand or tens of thousands of pounds. The big newspapers are not interested in reporting, and the small newspapers have no influence.

Experts, the probability of authoritative seeing is very, very small.

But if the price is hundreds of thousands or millions of pounds, it is likely to attract the attention of other collectors or appraisers.

If someone saw that there was something wrong with this painting, Virgil would not have a road the next day except for directly retiring.

So, in the long run, if you didn't get the auction, you can only forget it.

Besides, private transactions are not impossible.

In addition to buyers who are extremely fond of, the price increase is 30%, 50%, or even twice, which is definitely a good deal for many collectors.

Of course, there are risks here.

At least the person who goes to buy cannot be Billy, otherwise everyone will think in their hearts why Billy didn’t join the ranks of competitors at the auction.

Finding another collaborator is equivalent to twice the risk for Virgil.

It’s better to give up and wait slowly.

As long as you are still in this industry, you will always have the opportunity to meet your favorite oil paintings again.

And the final auction price also involves the agreement reached by Vergill and Bill.

Bill takes the risk of doing this, and the rewards must not be too low.

So the double bonus of the final auction price was actually quite pressured to Virgil.

Because in the past twenty years, for Virgil, who only bought and did not sell oil paintings, even the auction house's business has been pretty good.

But it is really a bit embarrassing to ask him to take out hundreds of thousands of pounds.

Since this is the case, it is better to focus on other oil paintings you encounter in the future.

So, after Li Changheng called out a price of 200,000 pounds, Vergil cursed Li Changheng in his heart, but he did not look at Bill again, so as not to give him a wrong hint.

And to be honest, no one among the people present can compare with Li Changheng who has more cash.

Because as long as someone who knows a little about him and knows that Intel's calculator sales in the past three months is very high, he can roughly guess that the cash in his hand is absolutely sufficient.

Frank Abanel, who sat on the on-site telephone quotation stand and acted as a telephone quotation for customers who were unwilling to show up.

Just as he cursed Li Changheng in his heart, he didn't give Bill a chance to bid, it was equivalent to being unable to provoke his relationship with Vergil.

But a thought suddenly appeared in my heart, and a trace of fearful gaze for Li Changheng soon flashed in my eyes.

After only a little bit of clarification, I misunderstood that Li Changheng only spent one night to find out which painting Bill and Vergill wanted.

It is very likely that someone has asked someone to appraise the value of this painting.

In other words, his power is really great, not to mention that he can easily enter the bank vault of France.

It also makes the bankers not afraid at all, or are not worried about being discovered?

The reasons for these two results are either spending a lot of money to bribe, or threatening the bank's head with personal and family safety.

Thinking of this, Frank suddenly regretted going to see Li Changheng himself, and even told everything about Vergil and Bill like an idiot.

If that bastard was also moved and started to attack Virgil and those oil paintings, what else would he do?

Then Frank, who had no choice but to think about it, immediately felt that he would just take 40% of the benefits as before.

But when I thought about the beginning, I only got 20%.

The last time I was able to get 40% was entirely because I joined the Bank of England, so I took the greatest risk.

But this time, it seems that his role is not as great as he imagined.

The probability of getting 40% again is very small.

Frankie looked at Li Changheng depressedly, and finally he could only think about talking to him again.

At this time, an old woman sitting in a wheelchair, Vivian brings the biggest collector of her paintings.

After Li Changheng offered a price of 200,000 pounds, he sighed and looked at Li Changheng, and gave up the idea of ​​taking the painting.

This price has exceeded Vivianti, a female painter in the 16th century, and has been the highest auction record of 140,000 pounds.

In other words, in the eyes of everyone on the scene, it would take at least 10 years to buy this painting before it could rise to 200,000 pounds.

Li Changheng looked back at the bald man and saw that the other person's face was full of struggle and hesitation.

But he wanted to be an ostrich, but the others didn't plan to end this good show.

Although everyone didn't say anything, and didn't even whisper and accusations, most of them were staring at him.

The meaning is obvious, I want to surrender if I only quote a price once.

Not only is this too embarrassing, it will also make others think that he is a slutty idiot who is too weak on the inside.

He is even more idiot who has no strength and no vision to provoke people who are better than him.

As he had no choice but to raise the price tag in his hand.

Vergil immediately called this person a real idiot.

He shouted out 210,000 yuan, and at least he could tell others clearly that he was just deliberately asking Li Changheng to spend more money.

But just holding a sign means only adding 2,000 pounds, which not only means that the momentum will fall directly into the mud.

It also makes people easily know that this guy is not only out of courage, but also a person like Grandet.

Li Changheng snorted mockingly, and didn't even look at Vergil, raised the sign and said, "300,000."

The comparison between the two immediately made everyone present feel.
