"Ladies and gentlemen, the starting price for this rosewood official hat chair is US$200,000. The minimum increase in bid for each bid shall not be less than US$10,000. The bidding begins, US$200,000, US$200,000. Is anyone willing to bid? ?"

Brad shouted loudly and quickly, with a loud voice that echoed throughout the audience.

While quoting, he also quickly scanned the entire venue, looking for and discovering the raised bidding numbers.

What he is mainly paying attention to at this moment is the large number of Asian faces in the audience. The competition is most likely to be between these Asians, and it is mainly between the Chinese.

Europeans and Americans simply don’t understand the subtle beauty of Chinese classical furniture, so they probably won’t participate in the competition. Even if there are one or two, most of them are just looking for bargains or investment, and not many of them really want to collect them!

With the rapid rise of China in recent years, more and more Chinese people have appeared at large international auctions, buying Chinese antiques and art on a global scale! It feels like a powerful force sweeping thousands of armies!

With their strong support, the prices of Chinese antiques and artworks have skyrocketed, soaring upwards! Constantly creating various new records!

There are dozens of Asian faces in the auction hall at this moment, most of them are buyers from China, and there are also three or five Japanese.

These Chinese investors and collectors with large sums of cash and generous spending are the most popular guests of major auction houses, and this one is no exception.

Someone in the audience raised a bidding number plate, and it turned out to be a Chinese.

"There is an offer for $200,000, from Mr. 132, thank you! It is now $210,000, $210,000. Which lady or gentleman is the offer?"

Brad raised his hand and gestured to the audience, and then quoted the new price, speaking as fast as ever.

Ma Ye did not immediately participate in the competition, but took a look at the person in front of him who was holding a sign to accept the price. He was a young man in his 30s.

"That's Lao Fang's son from Shanghai. I met him in Hong Kong before. In the past two years, he has often participated in various auctions on his behalf. It seems that Lao Fang also has ideas about this official hat chair!"

Another collector, Mr. Wang, whispered.

"It's not surprising. As long as you collect Chinese antiques, there is no one you won't like when you see this chair. There are many familiar faces here, and there are definitely a lot of people bidding by phone and online. Let's take a look and let's talk!"

Master Ma said with a smile, as if the old **** was here.

The bidding officially started. As Brad quoted his price again and again, the bidding signs in the audience came and went almost without interruption. Occasionally, there were some voices actively raising prices. The scene was very lively.

Without exception, those who put up placards to bid were almost all Chinese.

At first there were still two or three Japs raising signs, but they soon died down. They were defeated. They could only hide aside and secretly feel sad, and kept lamenting that the Chinese people are too rich!

The price of the red sandalwood official hat chair was quickly pushed to US$500,000, which is already 1.5 times the starting price. It is also a rare high price among red sandalwood antique furniture!

At this time, not only the Japanese were secretly lamenting that the Chinese were rich, but also the many European and American collectors present were deeply impressed by the wallets of these Chinese.

"Wow! It's just a chair, not a royal item, but it's priced at US$500,000. These Chinese people are so rich!"

"Who says otherwise! The Chinese are almost buying the whole world! Fortunately, most of them only like antiques and art from their own country, so they should not be our direct competitors!

Of course, except for that **** Steven, for that bastard, no matter where the antique art is, as long as there is money to be made, he will eat it all! He is definitely an extremely greedy villain! "

Hearing Brad's offer of US$500,000, Ye Tian immediately translated for Mr. Ma in a low voice, and then asked:

"Master Ma, is it time to take action? This price should be the psychological price of many people!"

Ye Tian was right. Several Chinese people who participated in the bidding had a look of disappointment in their eyes. US$500,000 was already their limit!

Since they can't get it at this price, they can only withdraw with regret. This rare early Ming Dynasty red sandalwood official hat chair has no chance with them!

"Ye Tian, ​​you are right. It is indeed time to take action. The real competition has just begun. You help me raise the price of 550,000 US dollars. I will hold up the sign. We men will cooperate and clear the place!"

Master Ma smiled and nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes.

"Okay! Just lift it up! Cleaning up has always been my specialty!"

Ye Tian nodded excitedly and smiled brightly.

Immediately afterwards, he shouted loudly:

"$550,000, Brad!"

While he was bidding, Mr. Ma also raised the sign in his hand high.

Hearing the shouting, everyone immediately looked here. When everyone saw that the placard holder was not Ye Tian, ​​but another Chinese, they couldn't help but feel very surprised!

"Why didn't that **** Steven raise the sign? Is this another antique he sent for auction? Then he asked people around him to help raise the price, preparing to trick others!"

"I don’t rule out this possibility. What can’t that **** do? But it’s also possible that the Chinese guy next to him doesn’t understand English, so that’s why Steven, the bastard, bids!

No matter what, it is best for everyone to be careful. Looking at this situation, this **** Steven is going to start a war again. Fortunately, I am not interested in Chinese antique furniture. It is someone else who is unlucky! "

This is obviously a group of foreigners who don't know Mr. Ma, so they can only make random guesses.

Those Chinese people who know Ye Tian and Ma Ye do not think that Ma Ye will hold up a placard for Ye Tian. It must be Ma Ye himself who is interested in this official hat chair and is asking Ye Tian to help bid for it!

Even so, everyone felt a headache.

Why did these two people get together?

One is a great master in the domestic collection industry and an old fox at the auction house; the other is a famous professional treasure hunter in the United States, with sharp vision and ruthless attacks. Even that one is difficult to deal with!

Brad, who was standing on the auction stage, was also stunned. What's going on? Steven is bidding for others? Or are you going to continue to trick people? Who is this old Chinese man?

But he woke up in a blink of an eye.

What is Steven’s purpose? All you need to do is keep an eye on the bidding number plate. As long as you don't disrupt the order of the auction, everything else has nothing to do with you.

"Mr. No. 90 quoted US$550,000, now it is US$570,000, US$570,000, which lady or gentleman should bid? This is a classic piece of furniture with a history of 500 years, don't miss it!"

While quoting, Brad once again began to confuse everyone with his eloquent words, trying to get more bidders to participate in the bidding.

It’s a pity that he is not Chinese and does not speak Chinese. The following series of fast English words were not understood by many Chinese people present!

Everyone just stared at his quotation, and then made decisions based on the established plan. They were not greatly affected, nor were they too excited to lose their minds! Impulse bidding!

Most of the translators brought by many Chinese buyers only translate the quotation and do not care about other content.

So, Brad’s seduction was completely done to show the blind man! It's all wasted effort!

The clearing plan worked, and several bidders shook their heads and quit the competition with disappointment on their faces.

After exiting, these people all nodded to Mr. Ma. As long as they are buyers from China, there is no one who does not know Mr. Ma, so the etiquette on the scene must be maintained.

Master Ma responded politely to these people, very thoughtful and impeccable!

However, there are still several competitors who continue to persist and have not given up.

After a few seconds of pause, someone else raised the bidding sign and accepted the price of US$570,000.

Seeing this situation, Master Ma did not hesitate at all and immediately whispered:

"Ye Tian, ​​continue to bid, 670,000 US dollars. We don't want to boil the frog in warm water. That might push the price even higher. Cutting the mess with a quick knife is the best choice right now!"

"Okay! Look at mine!"

Ye Tian responded with a smile, and immediately made a loud quotation.

"$670,000, Brad!"

The sound was very loud and reached everyone's ears.

After hearing this quotation, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately.

"Wow! That's crazy! The price has been raised by US$100,000 at a time. This is just an antique chair! Is it of such high value?"

"It seems that Steven is bidding. This is in line with his usual auction style of clearing the place with force! Or are all the Chinese at the auction so strong and so ruthless?"

Amidst the discussion, Brad once again quoted a new price.

"Mr. No. 90 raised the price again, quoting US$670,000. Now it is US$700,000. Which gentleman should pay the price?"

While bidding loudly, Brad stared closely at the other competitors in the audience, expecting someone to raise the bidding number again.

But this time he waited a little longer!

Two of the competitors shook their heads one after another and announced their withdrawal from the bidding, with disappointment in their eyes.

Then they also nodded to Master Ma and Ye Tian.

At this time, they were no longer sure whether it was Mr. Ma or Ye Tian who wanted to take over the official chair!

This bidding strategy is too aggressive! It's more like Ye Tian's boy's work. That boy is always known for his ruthless and crazy attacks. Maybe he's the one causing the chaos this time!

If it were him, it would be better to quit as soon as possible. Don’t let this kid get you fooled. This guy is also famous for being good at deceiving people. You must be more careful!

There is only one competitor left, the guy from Shanghai who initially accepted the price.

He spoke a few words quickly into his cell phone before finally making a decision and accepting the offer of US$700,000.

Obviously, this guy’s old man is commanding from a remote control!

However, it is not difficult to tell from this guy’s livid face that he is almost reaching his limit! It is estimated that if there is another round, this guy will call for gold and withdraw his troops!

This is just the first autumn auction in New York, there is no need to spend too much money here!

Most Chinese collectors are mainly focused on the special auction of Chinese porcelain in a few days, which is the highlight! This guy is definitely no exception!

Seeing their opponent's performance, Ye Tian and Ma Ye immediately looked at each other and smiled!

It's time to end it!

"Ye Tian, ​​the asking price is 800,000 US dollars, this should be the last one!"

Master Ma smiled and whispered, extremely confident.

Immediately afterwards, Ye Tian's voice echoed through the auction hall again.

"$800,000, Brad!"

In line with his quotation, Mr. Ma also raised the bidding number in his hand.

As expected!

Hearing this offer, the guy from Shanghai shook his head in disappointment and announced his withdrawal from the competition without hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, he immediately turned his head to look at Master Ma and Ye Tian, ​​nodded slightly, with a wry smile on his face!

The last competitor leaves and the auction is settled!

“830,000 US dollars, 830,000 US dollars, does anyone bid? 830,000 US dollars for the first time, the second time, Sold! 800,000 US dollars was sold, congratulations to Mr. No. 90, this chair belongs to you!”

After asking loudly several times and seeing no one respond, Brad quickly made the final decision and ended the auction!

"Master Ma, congratulations on getting your wish and successfully winning this red sandalwood official hat chair!"

Ye Tian cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and said with a smile to Master Ma.

"Hahaha, this auction went very smoothly indeed. You guys cooperated very well. Thank you! I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future!"

Master Ma smiled and whispered back, extremely excited!

At this time, his face was so happy that the folds were completely opened, as if it had been ironed, and he suddenly became dozens of years younger!

The auction continues, it’s still Chinese antique furniture.

After several relatively ordinary pieces of antique furniture, another important piece of furniture appears!

“Hainan Huanghuali single-banner case in the late Ming Dynasty!”

There is no doubt that this is the goal of Mr. Li's trip.

When this picture of the huanghuali strip case appeared on the projection screen, he reacted immediately!

My eyes began to shine brightly, staring at the big screen, and my breathing suddenly became rapid, exactly the same as Mr. Ma just now!
