"I'll give you 2.2 million!"
As soon as these awkward words were spoken, the auctioneers present could not help but be attracted.
Because this guy raised the price by more than 300,000 at one time, which was much more intense and fierce than Rong Lecheng's method of boiling a frog in warm water.
If you encounter such a situation, either the other party is determined to win, or they are trying to make things difficult for others and are deliberately bidding maliciously.
But it is obvious that even though the Modesti family has declined now, they still have some gentlemanly manners.
Malicious bidding in such circumstances would bring shame to all of them.
So this guy was really determined to get this sculpture.
Zhang Fan covered his mouth with his hands and smiled slightly.
Rong Lecheng on the side had his eyes shining and was rubbing his hands excitedly!
"Mr. Zhang Fan, can I raise the price a little bit to put pressure on him? It's too boring to increase it little by little."
Rong Lecheng came to ask Zhang Fan for instructions!
"That's not necessary. It's only about two million. In my opinion, the transaction price of this thing should be around ten million. You can still have fun with it."
Rong Lecheng gave a thumbs up!
"Mr. Zhang Fan is really amazing. He has set his psychological price so low. Although I want to have a good fight with him, it would be best if I can save money."
Katana swept his proud gaze over the merchants in the field.
He raised the price so high this time just to tell those who are competing with him.
He is determined to win this statue, and anyone who dares to compete with him must be prepared to be humiliated.
If he were an ordinary businessman, he would probably have a deep taboo against the Modesti family.
However, as a new upstart of the Rong family, Rong Lecheng would not be the slightest bit timid towards this old capital force.
"Mr. Zhang Fan said this thing is worth hundreds of millions. You want to buy it with just a tiny amount of money? You are simply dreaming."
Rong Lecheng chuckled!
He had long disliked these foreigners. When he was in the Rong family, he was suppressed by people within the family because of foreign capital that funded those short-sighted immediate relatives.
So from the very beginning he hated these people.
Now that they had a chance to meet and were competing with each other, Rong Lecheng was so happy that he couldn't contain himself. How could he let them go?
Rong Lecheng wanted to raise the price, but Zhang Fan raised his hand at this time.
"I'll give you 2.7 million!"
Zhang Fan added another 500,000 yuan, and the original two-party competition turned into a three-party competition, and things suddenly became complicated.
Wang Meijuan frowned and looked at Rong Lecheng and Zhang Fan sitting together, feeling puzzled.
"Don't these two know each other? Or do they want to raise the price too high to embarrass these foreigners?"
The situation became a little weird!
Even the other wealthy people sitting around Zhang Fan were whispering to each other.
Then Zhang Fan noticed that an old man in a Tang suit on his right was staring at the foreigners with very sharp eyes.
After several seconds, before the Modesti family could offer another price, he had already raised his sign.
"I'll give you three million!"
Rong Lecheng frowned!
Zhang Fan looked at the old man curiously!
On this side, Director Zhou stood up with his back bent and walked towards the person who offered the price.
The two men seemed to know each other. After chatting for a few words, Master Zhou came back.
"Don't mind, Mr. Zhang Fan. This old guy who raised the price was a friend of mine back then. He has no good feelings towards the Modesti family."
Zhang Fan and Rong Lecheng were both a little curious!
I just came to the auction to buy something, how could I run into an enemy? Isn't this too much of a coincidence?
So he asked, "What's going on? Is there a personal grudge between them?"
Master Zhou glanced at the foreigners, his eyes were cold and a little angry.
"This old friend of mine is a famous thangka master in Tibet. Because his family has been collecting books for generations, he knows a lot about the past.
In his opinion, it should not be said that he and the Modesti family have a conflict, but rather that all local artists have a deep hatred for this family. "
This made Zhang Fan raise his eyebrows: "What do you mean?"
Rong Lecheng was also confused and puzzled. He didn't understand why an old man suddenly appeared halfway, and he was full of hatred and spent money like water, giving the people of the Modesti family no chance to resist.
Master Zhou lowered his voice and said, "The thing is, the elders of this family have been to this land before, and they funded a large number of bandits, who burned, killed and looted everywhere.
However, these horse thieves only targeted antiques and some ancient books, and had little impact on civilians, but they did do a lot of bad things.
That’s why my old friend hates them so much and doesn’t want them to buy anything and take it away.”
Master Zhou was a little angry. What he said was incoherent.
But Zhang Fan heard it clearly.
This so-called Modesti family had done a lot of things like supporting bandits more than a hundred years ago.
What's worse, they are tomb robbers themselves, and thus obtained a large number of cultural relics and antiques.
So the fact that one of the twelve bronze heads fell into the hands of the werewolf also revealed the secret behind it to Zhang Fan.
This also explains why Museum Director Zhou said that all the artists who have been passed down to date have a grudge against them.
"This is not hatred at all, this is clearly a national hatred and family feud. It seems that we have to deal with him properly this time!"
Rong Lecheng talked to himself and his expression became serious.
Wang Meijuan didn’t know what was happening below, she only knew that the situation seemed difficult to control.
He could only gently remind them, "Dear bidders, Mr. Liu bids three million. Is there anyone who offers a higher price?"
Wang Meijuan mentioned the surname of the old man who offered three million.
The old man was no longer low-key and stood up to ask for the microphone!
In front of everyone, he said it loudly.
"Everyone, this statue is very special in theme and has a very high collection value. I believe that there will be people with great discerning eyes who can see the true meaning of the statue, and those who like this statue should pay a high price, so as to avoid being ridiculed by some people for not knowing the value of the statue and buying up a family heirloom at such a low price."
Mr. Liu stood up and suddenly said these words!
This made everyone present very confused!
Rong Lecheng immediately found a few words from this passage.
"A family heirloom! Mr. Zhang Fan, it seems that this statue must have a deep meaning to the Modesti family. Elder Liu is deliberately trying to make things difficult for them."
Master Zhou stroked his snow-white beard and said, "It looks like today will be a fight between dragons and tigers!"
