Chapter 667 How miserable!
Lu Shiyan pressed the button.
But right after Lu Shiyan, several people followed and pressed the button to take photos.
Among them is William, whom Jerry mentioned.
When Yu Whale looked over, the other party showed a provocative expression.
The price has risen all the way to 48 million, and there is no sign of it stopping yet.
Even those who were unaware of this dirty plan could see that the two items on the list were aimed at the flower-growing Chinese.
Many people looked at Lu Shiyan and Yu Jingjing with sympathy.
How miserable!
How much money did they have to be cheated out of? !
Lu Shiyan took the photo quickly, and the people who followed suit also took the photo quickly.
The auctioneers on the stage also became excited.
Oh my God!
If this continues, their auction house will be able to prosper again.
In the end, Lu Shiyan directly raised the price by 500,000, but Sir William still followed closely and even raised the price by 1 million.
"Eighty-eight million once!"
Seeing that Lu Shiyan was hesitant to press the bid button, the auctioneer began to bid hesitantly, "Anyone else want to bid?"
Lu Shiyan even lowered his head and started peeling nuts for Yu Jingjing.
"Eighty-eight million twice!"
The auctioneer panicked.
But the one who was even more panicked than him was Sir William, who was determined to trick Lu Shiyan.
In less than a minute, the arrogant Sir William's head was covered with sweat. He didn't even look at Lu Shiyan, but desperately winked at Sir Ackerman who provided the collection.
Sir Ackerman is not much better.
He never expected that Lu Shiyan would stop filming?
Aren’t Chinese people most keen on buying back cultural relics at high prices and then donating them to the country?
If Lu Shiyan doesn't shoot, isn't he afraid of being scolded by the public after returning to China?
They planned everything and when they came today they were all waiting for large sums of money to be deposited into their accounts.
But no one expected that Lu Shiyan would not follow the script!
The auctioneer closed his eyes helplessly on the stage and slammed the gavel in his hand. "Eighty-eight million dollars, three times! Congratulations, Sir William!"
The place was completely silent.
A few seconds later, crisp applause was heard from the middle of the seats.
Yu Jingjing almost laughed out loud, and while clapping he said, "Excellent! Sir William remains as glorious as ever, this is the foundation of the Y country aristocracy!"
Foreigners don't understand what is weird, but they can hear that Yu Whale is definitely not praising Sir William.
As for the aristocrats of Country Y, to put it nicely, they are aristocrats, but to put it bluntly, they are a group of parasites supported by the people of Country Y.
Those who are able to start their own business and use their noble status as a passport can live a fairly good life.
But most of them just guarded the small piece of land at home and waited for the funds allocated to them by the royal family every year to live on.
Eighty-eight million U.S. dollars is equivalent to nearly seventy million pounds when converted into British pounds.
This is the amount that the royal family of Country Y spends in a year, and it has caused dissatisfaction among the people.
What's more, Sir William is just a side branch of the royal family. He can only receive one million pounds a year for expenses when the finances are good.
The cost is over 70 million, which is too much to pay even if William is sold.
"Oh my God! Sir William has fainted!"
William simply couldn't accept this result.
He promised Ackerman, who said that as long as he helped raise the price, he would give William 200,000 pounds in the end.
The result now is that he can't get the 200,000 pounds, let alone the 70 million pounds.
