It’s not that there are no cases of people raising their hands at auctions, and it can even be said that it happens frequently.
But those who are well-known and influential rarely do this, especially in such a public place, but there are some people who do not play by the rules.
The host communicated with the man shouting in a foreign language, and Song Yi translated it for Fang Zongtang.
"The host said that if we want to bid again, we must get your consent."
Fang Zongtang immediately said: "I don't agree."
Song Yi did not say anything else and directly told the host Fang Zongtang's opinion.
The man who was shouting was very excited. He didn't use any foreign language. He bypassed the host and shouted directly to Fang Zongtang.
"How can I take shortcuts in such an occasion? It's just a broken piece, not an antique. I personally like to collect things in the shape of gourds. If it weren't for this charity auction, I would never have bought this thing."
Fang Zongtang said without even turning his head: "I am also doing this for charity. You only gave me 20,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is too little!"
The people present originally thought that there was something fishy going on, but when they heard her say that, they immediately changed their minds.
Some think she wants to be in the spotlight, some think she is pretending to be noble, and some think she wants to pretend to be a good person for fame.
The man who was shouting didn't expect Fang Zongtang to say that. His expression looked grim. It took him several seconds to react and say something.
"Then I'm willing to pay 60,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Fang Zongtang said calmly, "You kept bidding until the second to last time, and now you are raising the price again. Is there something fishy going on?"
The man who was shouting froze for a moment, and said hurriedly in a panic: "There is nothing fishy about it, I just like it purely."
She said calmly, "I hate it most when people snatch things from me. The more they try to snatch things from me, the less I'll give them to them!"
The man hesitated, gritted his teeth and said, "I am willing to give you 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and I hope Mrs. Song can give up."
No one was interested in it at 20,000 just now, but now the bid has reached 100,000.
Although this amount of money was nothing to the people present, this matter aroused their interest.
They had just looked at it. It was a wreckage, without even a mark on it, and only the size of a palm. It was something they picked up for two dollars on the street. How could it be worth one hundred thousand?
Just like Mrs. Song said, they really suspected that there was something fishy going on.
Fang Zongtang turned around and looked directly at the man who was shouting.
"You are very sincere!"
Everyone present: Are you planning to sell it?
Who was the person who just spoke with such force?
Just for a mere 80,000 yuan difference, you're going to give up your integrity?
It can be seen that Song Yi and his wife are of the same kind. As long as they are paid a lot of money, they will not care about anything else.
When the man who was shouting heard Fang Zongtang say this, his face lit up with joy.
Just as I was about to say thank you, I heard her say, "800,000, no bargaining!"
The whole audience was in an uproar~
Even the people at the auction were shocked.
After their auctions, many transactions were conducted privately, but there had never been a case of direct resale at their auctions.
Mrs. Song, don’t you care about your reputation?
The man who was shouting had his face flushed red, and it was unclear whether he was angry or just too angry to bear it any longer.
He pointed at Fang Zongtang and shouted in an incredible tone: "You want 800,000 for a broken gourd?"
She smiled and said, "If it can really be sold, it will be considered a contribution to Hong Kong."
Everyone present had a subtle expression.
