Chapter 546 Fierce Auction
Huang Yue's words shocked Lin Hong, who was a little distracted.
Nicola Tesla's design manuscript?
How can there be such a thing here?
Lin Hong quickly picked up the album next to him and turned it back for a while. Finally, he really saw the manuscript photo on the back page.
The photo is blurry and the lens is far away, so you can only faintly see the pattern on it. After Lin Hong saw it, his pupils couldn't help shrinking slightly.
He just turned it over and didn't see it.
"A Hong, what's wrong?" Seeing that he looked strange, Guang Yongyuan couldn't help asking curiously.
"I'm going to take a picture of this thing!" Lin Hong said firmly, revealing a sense of firmness in expectation.
Guang Yongyuan was stunned, and then asked, "Which one do you shoot?"
He didn't expect that Lin Hong also took a fancy to something, but the things here are often tens of millions, which are not affordable for ordinary people.
"It's the current design drawing."
Lin Hong said and put all his eyes on the small box in the hand of the auctioneer Huang Yue.
At this moment, Huang Yue is focusing on the life of Nikola Tesla. Obviously, they have done some homework before, and some secrets that outsiders do not know have also been told to him, adding a bit of mystery.
"... It is said that Tesla Wannian is studying the research of radio energy and anti-gravity devices, and this design drawing is likely to be the design draft of one of the important devices. Of course, I need to remind you that this drawing has been circulating for more than 50 years. Over the years, many people may have studied this drawing, but at present, there seems to be no good news.
Huang Yue's introduction to this design draft is very objective, and he has pointed out the extraordinary points of the drawings. I also gave you a risk warning.
However, everyone sitting here cares not about the practical value of the drawings, but the value of the collection.
The gimmick of Tesla's hand-drawn drawings alone is attractive enough. After all, Tesla's status in the United States is comparable to Edison's, and even more influential.
At the beginning, many people had not heard of this person's name, and they were not very interested in this so-called drawing, but now they were introduced by Huang Yue, and the atmosphere was immediately adjusted. Many people are interested in this drawing. This thing is an antique in itself. It not only has a cultural atmosphere, but also has a sense of mystery. If you collect it and talk about it to others, it will be very face-inful. After all, it is unique in the world.
"The starting price of this design manuscript is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, with a minimum increase of 10,000 yuan. Let's start the quotation now.
As soon as Huang Yue's voice fell, the quotations rang in the center of the venue.
"Seventy thousand!"
"Eight thousand!"
"100,000!"
......
Although the starting price is not much, everyone's bidding is quite fierce. After a while, the price has reached the height of 150,000 yuan, and there are still many people who are interested.
For such a design manuscript, the price of 150,000 yuan is already quite high.
Seeing that Lin Hong was a little impulsive to make an offer, Guang Yongyuan quickly pulled his skirt and whispered, "Don't worry, wait a minute."
On the experience of auction. Guang Yongyuan is much richer than Lin Hong.
There are too many people now. Even if it's a quotation, it's just a ladder for others. If you really want to shoot it, you have to make a final offer at a critical moment.
"250,000."
"Two thousand two thousand."
"Two thousand."
......
The price is still slowly increasing. However, compared with the previous rapid rise, the speed is much slower now. Now only two or three people are still bidding, and with the other party's offer, they have to hesitate before they can make a decision.
Those who are sitting are all famous people. Naturally, they know the current price. For this drawing, it is a little too high.
They are just on the spur of the moment and have a sense of freshness. Now with such a period of bidding, their minds are gradually calming down. Although the money is not much, is it worth buying one like this for hundreds of thousands of yuan?
When the price climbed to 300,000, Guang Yongyuan finally signaled that Lin Hong could start the quotation.
"500,000." Lin Hong raised his card and quoted his first price with plain language and calm movements.
raised the price by 180,000 yuan at once, which is relatively a big deal.
Lin Hong's action attracted many surprised eyes.
Some people look at him as if they were a fool, while others' eyes flashed, thinking.
After Guang Yongyuan heard it, he couldn't help crying and laughing. He thought that Lin Hong still had no bidding experience. How could he suddenly report 500,000 yuan? Isn't it obvious that I really want to get this drawing?
If Lin Hong is a familiar person, others may not think much about it, but Lin Hong is a strange face. Suddenly, he is willing to bid at such a high price. Does it mean that this drawing itself is really worth so much? Or is there something unknown hidden in the drawing?
In addition, Guang Yongyuan was also surprised by Lin Hong's high price bidding.
He only paid him 30,000 US dollars before, which was calculated as Hong Kong dollars, which was only about 200,000 yuan. Originally, he thought it was a huge sum of money for Lin Hong, but at present, it seems that he is completely wrong.
Guang Yongyuan's expectation was really right. The originally stagnant bidding scene immediately became active again after Lin Hong's confusion.
Everyone has started a new round of bidding.
"Fifty thousand."
"Five twenty thousand!"
"Fedty thousand or thirty thousand!"
......
While making quotations, many people look in the direction of Lin Hong, guessing in their hearts, how much the young man's next quotation will be, and what does he want this drawing for?
The price soon rose to 550,000 yuan, and the others lost interest again. The person who quoted 550,000 yuan was a young man in a white suit. When he saw Lin Hong looking at him, he smiled at Lin Hong with a sarcasm.
"550,000 for the first time..." Huang Yue began to shout "550,000 for the second time..."
At this time, a crisp voice sounded: "600,000."
It's Li Duoer.
After Li Duoer finished her quotation, she also turned around and smiled sweetly at Lin Hongtian. Her meaning was obvious. Her bid this time was for Lin Hong.
However, Lin Hong saw her smile and responded with a wry smile.
After thinking for a moment, Li Duoer understood what he meant and spit out her tongue at him in embarrassment.
Sure enough, as soon as her voice fell, there were several voice quotations immediately.
"Sixty-one thousand!"
"620,000!"
"650,000!"
The young man in a white suit just now looked a little pale. He almost gritted his teeth and shouted, "Seven thousand!"
When he shouted, his eyes were still staring at Lin Hong, as if Lin Hong owed him millions.
Obviously, these people are Li Duoer's pursuers. Seeing her like this, they are all jealous.
"It's so boring." Lin Hong read a word in a low voice, then raised the card again and said indifferently, "One million."
This time, the whole audience was in an uproar.
From 50,000 to 1 million, this is the largest increase in all the auction varieties that have been auctioned today.
Seeing that Lin Hong quoted this price so calmly, they have speculated in private what Lin Hong is. Although one million is not a large amount, it is not small. It is willing to buy such a manuscript. Ordinary people really don't have so much courage, at least most of the people present. I won't do that.
The sweat on Guang Yongyuan's forehead began to secrete again.
He took out his handkerchief and wiped it. Taking advantage of this posture, he whispered, "A Hong, you can't quote at will during the auction. The consequences are very serious."
He was a little worried about whether Lin Hong was angry and casually quoted such a sky-high price.
Lin Hong smiled at him and gave him a reassuring look.
It can be said that Lin Hong's move completely attracted everyone's attention, and even the previous black rose "Miss Xiang" looked at Lin Hong with a little different eyes.
The price also made the young man in the white suit hesitate for a long time, but when he saw Lin Hong raise his chin at him with a smile, then stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture, he shouted the price again word by word: "One... ten thousand!"
As soon as his voice fell, Lin Hong's "please" gesture turned into a thumbs-up gesture.
"You won." Lin Hong smiled and made such a mouth shape for him.
"One hundred and ten thousand, Mr. Tao quoted one hundred and ten thousand on the thirty-eighth. Is there any price increase? One hundred and ten thousand!" Huang Yue loudly reminded other bidders at this time.
"One hundred and ten thousand times, one hundred and ten thousand times, one hundred and ten thousand three times! Deal!"
Huang Yue raised the wooden hammer and knocked on the small table. With this trembling sound, in addition to the table, there was also the facial muscles and heart of Tao Rongxuan in a white suit.
huā bought such a drawing for one hundred and ten thousand yuan, which is really enough to make him painful.
After the auction, a few other things were auctioned. Although the price is more expensive than this, there are no twists and turns, far from this wonderful one.
After the auction, both Li Duoer and Miss Xiang came to Lin Hong.
"Mr. Lin, that drawing is very important to you?" Miss Xiang asked first.
"It's okay. It's a pity that I didn't get the auction."
When Lin Hong said this, he looked at Tao Rongxuan coming this way with the drawing in his hand.
Tao Rongxuan's face showed a bright smile. He handed the box in his hand to Li Duoer and said, "Duoer, I'll give you this drawing."
Li Duoer smiled and said softly, "Mr. Tao is kind to Duoer, but Duoer can't take such a valuable thing. You'd better give it to other people who need it."
Who do you need it?
Tao Rongxuan's eyes trembled, and then looked at Lin Hong.
