As the finale item, this bronze wine cup caused a commotion at the scene. A representative of a well-known domestic wine company was determined to get this wine cup. It was likely that he was prepared to bid for it and take it back as the treasure of the shop!
As soon as the auctioneer announced the starting price, he immediately raised his card and shouted,"55 million!"
"56 million!" Another person followed.
"60 million!" The representative of the wine company looked at that person with a provocative look.
After all, the first bid he made was a few million higher than the original price. Naturally, he would not be interested in this kind of one million higher bid.
Ye Ming decided to let them fight for the time being. Anyway, this wine glass was already in his possession. No matter how much money he had to spend, he had to buy it.
"61 million!" Another person shouted.
"63 million!"
Everyone was very interested in this wine glass. It was indeed worthy of being the finale item. The bidding was very intense, and the voices of bidding rose and fell.
"90 million!" The wine company representative was already a little nervous. After he called out, he looked around. Clearly, the price was almost at his bottom line.
After a while, no one stood up to bid. Just as the wine company representative was about to heave a sigh of relief, the silver-haired old man who had previously expressed his approval of Ye Ming's bid for the painting called out the first bid of this auction.
"Ninety-five million!" The old man said indifferently.
The liquor company representative's face was red. He looked at the silver-haired old man with bloodshot eyes and gritted his teeth.”
The old man didn't wait for him to finish his sentence. He raised his card and said calmly," 100 million!”
The wine company representative finally gave up. He was like a deflated balloon. He sat down dejectedly like a defeated rooster.
"100 million USD! This old gentleman bid 100 million US dollars! Are there any higher bids?" The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
This was the second item in this auction that had reached a bid of 100 million USD, which was rare in the past.
Although high-priced items were occasionally auctioned off, sometimes even in a year, there would not be an auction item with a bid of 100 million US dollars. Today, there were two items.
This would definitely make the headlines tomorrow. He would also be able to show his face and glory. After all, he was the one who shot it.
The old man narrowed his eyes. His expression was calm, as if he didn't care if anyone was competing with him.
"100 million going once! Are there any higher bids?"
The people below were whispering among themselves. Some of them had even begun to congratulate the old man for winning the bronze wine cup.
At this moment, a sudden voice sounded.
"150 million!" Ye Ming finally called out his first bid.
The originally calm auction house was in an uproar. This time, the bid was raised by 50 million?
Furthermore, it was the young man who had bought Zhang Daqian's ink-wash painting for 100 million USD!
Who was this person? Everyone was puzzled.
Those who knew the silver-haired old man looked at Ye Ming with eyes full of mockery.
The old man's calm expression finally changed. He looked at Ye Ming from afar and found that Ye Ming was looking ahead with a calm expression.
He was slightly angry. It seemed that he had met his match, but he did not intend to admit defeat just like that.
"160 million!" The old man raised his card again.
"200 million!" Ye Ming did not hesitate and did not give anyone the chance to breathe.
The atmosphere in the auction hall gradually became heated. This kind of increase in price was simply overbearing!
When the wine company representative heard Ye Ming's bid, he looked at the silver-haired old man with a playful smile on his face, as if saying,'Aren't you f * cking awesome?' Continue to be awesome!
He felt a burst of exhilaration and wanted to roar. Now you know how I felt just now. Wasn't it awesome just now? Continue!
The young girl beside the old man was very unhappy. That guy actually snatched something that his grandfather had his eyes on!
However, there was nothing she could do. After all, this was an auction house, and everything went to the highest bidder.
"210 million!" The old man had come today for this, so he called out the last price with the mentality of one last gamble.
Ye Ming's aura became stronger and stronger. His voice was very calm, but it contained the power to suppress people's hearts.
"250 million!"
The old man's expression was a little ugly. He shook his head and expressed his surrender.
Following the auctioneer's three knocks," Congratulations to this gentleman for winning this item!”
The auction ended with Ye Ming taking the opening and finale items.
Moreover, the two items added up to 350 million USD, plus the 10% commission, that was 385 million USD!
This had already set a record for a single buyer in a single auction. Everyone came over to congratulate Ye Ming.
"Young man! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations on receiving two good items!"
Ye Ming also cupped his hands in thanks.
The silver-haired old man was the last to come over. He also congratulated," Young man, I didn't expect you to like this bronze wine cup so much. You didn't hesitate to spend a huge sum of money to snatch it away from me. I believe that the secret within is almost solved. I originally thought that I would be able to win, but I didn't expect it to be intercepted by you!"”
"Secret?"
Ye Ming frowned and looked at his father. He found that Ye Dashan was also confused.
What other secrets did this cup have?
Wasn't it just used in Shang Tang and later became a family heirloom of the Ye family?
Seeing Ye Ming's confused expression, the old man had a plan in his heart and did not say anything else.
He asked this question because he wanted to test the young man's reaction.
Seeing that the other party did not seem to know, the old man cupped his hands and bade farewell." Yue 'er, let's go.”
The young girl who was with the old man glared at Ye Ming fiercely before leaving with the old man. Ye Ming was a little confused by her cannibalistic gaze.
When did I ever offend her?
After the old man and the girl left, Ye Ming turned the bronze wine cup over and looked at it for a long time before asking his father in confusion," Dad, he said that this wine cup has a secret? What secret is it?"
Ye Dashan kept shaking his head." I took a look at this cup. It's the one we used to have. I recognize it. Your grandfather gave it to me before he left, but he didn't say anything about the secret of this cup.”
"Could it be that he died before Grandpa could tell you the secret?”# Review: 17603256787 Time:09 April 2019 6: 14PM #Special
