The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2128

[2092 Price Gouging]

“230,000.” Eaton also raised his sign and joined the competition. Andre couldn’t help but glared at Eaton with a gloomy face: Are you also going to compete with me?

Eaton looks innocent: I’m just supporting Renly, okay?

But Andre didn’t buy it at all, muttering something, and then raised the sign, “250,000.” The price increased by 20,000 pounds in one breath, and the auction began to speed up.

“Two hundred and sixty thousand.” That strange but harsh voice sounded again – very harsh to Andre, as to whether other people could feel the same way, it is unknown, and Andre immediately turned his head towards Dave -Clarke glared fiercely in the direction, Dave had a decent smile on his face, but Andre didn’t buy it at all. He shouted, “300,000.”

It was obvious that Dave’s expression was slightly stiff, and he obviously did not expect Andre to express his rejection so bluntly.

While Dave was stunned for a while, the quotations did not stop, and there were still many guests calling for bids.

“310,000.”

“320,000.”

In just two seconds and three seconds, Howard’s bid had already reached “350,000”, and the rate of increase still did not slow down.

“400,000.” Matthew directly raised his brand, and with a shout, raised the price by a notch. Andre’s eyes widened and he turned his gaze towards Matthew, his face full of incomprehension: You Why are you bidding?

This made Renly couldn’t help but chuckle directly.

Dave, who was sitting on the other side, also noticed the gradually tense air, and he raised the sign again, “410,000.”

But the voice had just fallen, and the other competitors behind him were like wolves Generally swarmed up, and before he had time to breathe, the price soared all the way to half a million. Such a warm atmosphere was far beyond imagination, which forced Howard to change the auction rhythm:

The offer for each placard was £50,000.

The number of competitors in the field began to dwindle, and then the real top competitors began to prepare to shoot.

“Five hundred and fifty thousand.” Dave took the lead in attacking, and after raising the sign, he deliberately cast his eyes in the direction of Andre and Renly, but got no response.

“Six hundred thousand.

Matthew calmly and calmly raised the price.

At this time, Andre realized that Matthew and Eaton were both helping to run Dave; but because he liked this snuff bottle very much, he inevitably brought in personal selfishness, or I hope he can auction it, and naturally there is no way to look at the entire auction process rationally:

he is not even in the mood to play tricks on Dave.

“Sixty-five thousand.

Dave then shouted the price again.

Andre couldn’t help but started grinding his teeth, but held up the sign in time, “Seven hundred thousand.”

”

“Seventy-five thousand.”

Dave and Andre’s eyes collided, and both of them showed no sign of weakness.

Matthew looked at Renly helplessly, and did not continue to mix –

shouldn’t they have teamed up to make fun of Dave? ? Deliberately raised the price, forcing Dave to shoot at an unbelievable price and suffer a dumb loss; after the transaction is confirmed, tell Dave that the snuff bottle is actually from Renly, and then Dave’s expression is the best. The fun part.

But now Andre is obviously overexcited, even losing his mind. If they continue to drive up prices, then in the end, Andre may suffer.

Renly is also a little helpless, and when Andre is ready to continue shouting Before asking the price, he patted Andre’s arm and used his eyes to signal to Andre to stop.

But Andre was very unwilling. First, it was his favorite snuff bottle; second, it was Renly Why did that guy accept the snuff bottle? He felt uncomfortable, even though he knew that the price had far exceeded his expectations, he couldn’t help it.

“But…” Andre looked at Renly, tried to defend himself, but Renly shook his head firmly: Andre really didn’t need to spend such a big price, his daily pocket money is not that much, 750,000 is already enough for a charity auction. It’s a very good price, and it is more than double the estimated price of Sotheby’s auction house, and it is wise to take it as soon as possible.

Andrei is really depressed!

He slumped his shoulders and looked away, as if he was about to give up, but when Renly didn’t notice it, he raised the sign again, “Eight hundred thousand!

” Renly’s gaze, that childish behavior made Renly laugh and cry, not knowing what to say.

“Eighty-five thousand.” Dave is now emotionally overwhelmed, shouting and shouting anger, and some recklessly began to continue to increase the price.

Andre’s eyes widened, thinking about whether he should continue raising the price.

At this moment, a voice came out from the rear, “One million”, and it was obvious that the atmosphere at the scene was slightly stagnant.

In art auctions, the transaction amount of one million pounds is nothing at all, and there are countless transactions of tens of millions of pounds; but in charity auctions, the price of one million pounds is a bit crazy, very Few people would donate a million pounds in this way.

Andre died immediately, he was not the opponent’s opponent at all, but after he was frustrated, he winked at Renly with joy: If he can’t get it at auction, at least Dave can’t grab it, this is the best As a result, the mood has become a lot happier.

Dave felt that he had been insulted. First, he was surrounded by Andre and Matthew, and then he was directly intercepted by the dark horse. If he admits defeat now, wouldn’t it be too embarrassing?

This is his first public appearance since his relationship with Beatrice!

He can’t admit defeat.

“One million and a half million.” Dave raised the sign again, gritted his teeth and announced the price, but he didn’t expect that before his sign even had time to put down, the voice behind him shouted decisively, “One million and two hundred thousand. “The rate of improvement is far beyond Dave’s capacity.

Whether it’s Andre or Dave, including other millionaires or multi-millionaires, their wealth is counted in the form of “assets”, including fixed assets, stock funds, etc. Liquid capital in hand, but not necessarily able to pull out a million pounds in one go –

either a billionaire or a professional art collector, otherwise, for most rich people, the liquid capital must be reinvested, only Continue to operate, capital can create more wealth.

Dave is now caught in a predicament of riding a tiger: giving up, he always feels useless; continuing to keep up, he feels worthless.

But at this moment in the auction scene, his reason is a little loose, and the guests around him are all elites in the upper class. Performance may leave irreparable negative effects.

So, “1.25 million.” Dave still gritted his teeth and raised his offer again, but on the surface he had to show his demeanor, raised the sign with a smile on his face, and continued to give it a shot. He tried his best to show a light-hearted appearance, bathed in the attention of the audience.

Dave was destined to be disappointed.

“One and a half million!” The dark horse who jumped out at the last moment completely defeated Dave with a final decision. After Howard asked three times, he finally settled on the highest price at the auction today.

After all, Dave was not able to speak again, and the smile that remained at the corner of his mouth was still a little stiff, but he still had to give the competitor his applause: congratulations on winning this auction.

One and a half million pounds.

Not to mention Dave, even Renly and Matthew were slightly surprised: this snuff bottle is definitely not worth the price!

For reference, the snuff bottle with the highest price in auctions around the world is from 2011, an antique named “Qianlong Glass Painting Enamel Western Lady Snuff Bottle”, the final transaction price is as high as 2.5 million pounds , has not yet been surpassed.

But otherwise, most snuff bottles are worth between £100,000 and £500,000.

It is precisely because of this that Renly stopped Andre when the auction price exceeded 750,000 pounds. He did not want Andre to make random bids; but the final transaction price was even more outrageous, even as a donation. The owner of the item, Renly, also sensed a tinge of unease.

Matthew and Renly exchanged a glance:

Although this is a charity auction, mainly charity; but when all the elites gather together, UU reading www.sonicmtl.com itself is not so simple, as if Dave hopes Through this opportunity to make a blockbuster and truly make a name for himself in the upper class, there are countless similar situations, everyone is eager to come here to gild, including the Hall couple is no exception.

This also means that there may be something strange behind the auction of the next snuff bottle for 1.5 million pounds.

Things are clearly not that simple.

Turning his head, he found that the forty-third guest who finally completed the auction had a completely unfamiliar face-he was an agent, and he was talking with a headset cable. Someone behind the scenes completed the auction remotely. Makes the identity of the bidder more and more mysterious.

Obviously, this is what the other party hopes to create.

After the hammer fell, the guests on the scene were all guessing the identity of the bidder in the exchange of eyes. The atmosphere of the scene was extremely lively. The mysterious person instantly became the focus of the audience, and Dave was immediately forgotten by everyone, even Renly. The previous bids seem to be a little underweight.

Andre was also completely excited, “Haha, have you seen his face? It’s like being punched in the face by Tyson. It’s so funny.”
