Chapter 170 Deal! Record Breaking Price!
Although everyone was very angry about Christie's putting the sheep's head at auction, there was nothing anyone could do except to be angry.
This was stolen by others more than a hundred years ago, and now it is their property, and it is their right to dispose of it.
There is only one choice if you want to bring back the head of the sheep, and that is to spend money to take the head of the sheep at the auction!
"The last time the gambling king made a move, this time it depends on whether the national team will make a move." Qin Yu said while looking at the scarf.
Baoli Group is the national team. It had previously bought three bronze statues of animal heads at an auction.
"I don't need the national team anymore, I will buy the sheep's head."
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and said in a casual but firm tone.
“The price will definitely be expensive!”
Qin Yu was a little surprised at first, then said to Lin Chen worriedly.
Why did Christie's put the sheep's head at the finale of the auction? In their eyes, the sheep's head is just an ancient "faucet" and has no collection value.
"970" is because they guessed that Chinese people would come to bid for the auction, so they arranged babysitting and raised the price.
This copper head has a high status in the hearts of Chinese people, so it will be sold at a high price.
"It's just small money." Lin Chen shook his head and said with a relaxed smile.
Perhaps for others, they are afraid that the price is too high, and they will lose money if they buy the sheep's head.
But for Lin Chen, the last thing he fears is shopping.
No matter what, as long as you sell it, he can afford it.
Even if it is 100 million, it is only 100,000 yuan to him.
And he made $750 million just selling shares yesterday!
In front of 750 million US dollars, what is 100,000 RMB?
Soon, the time came to the next night, and Christie's auction was about to start.
Lin Chen and Qin Yu walked into Christie's auction room together, and then walked into a small private room.
You can see the entire auction house here, but you can't see the inside below.
This is specially prepared by the auction house for distinguished guests. Of course, the price here is not low.
But Lin Chen didn't want to be famous, so he found this place.
There is a sofa in the room. Sitting on the sofa and watching the auction house below is indeed a better experience than the one below.
"This matter has had a lot of influence on the Internet, and I heard that the national team has been sent over."
There was still a while before the auction started, so Qin Yu told Lin Chen the information he learned from the Internet.
From her point of view, since the national team has taken the shot, it seems that there is no need for Lin Chen to participate any more.
"The national team is the national team, and I am me." Lin Chen shook his head with a smile.
He wanted to buy this sheep head for three main reasons.
First, it must be because of the significance of this sheep head to China, it is a national treasure
Second, the system issued a task for him, and he had to complete this task for points and additional rewards.
Third, after buying back the sheep head, he will give it to the Palace Museum in Beijing for free.
It's useless for him to buy the sheep's head back and keep it in his hands. It's better to put it in the Palace Museum so that people all over the country can see the return of the sheep's head.
Secondly, it can be regarded as a life-saving talisman. He Gambler bought the horse head back at a high price and gave it to the official. It is also a life-saving talisman.
He reckoned that after the sheep's head was sent out, as long as he didn't commit any serious crimes, he could basically go anywhere in the country.
It didn't take long for the auction house to be almost full, and the auction officially started.
He was not interested in some of the previous lots, so he didn't raise his placard.
Soon, the auction came to the moment that everyone was most looking forward to, and the sheep head officially appeared!
When a bronze statue of a sheep's head appeared in Lin Chen's sight, Lin Chen felt as if his heart had been hit by some kind of force.
"I'm a little excited!" Qin Yu's hands trembled a little, and Lin Chen said excitedly.
Hearing Qin Yu's words, Lin Chen understood that he was not the only one who felt this way, every Chinese person should feel this way.
"This sheep's head is one of the bronze statues of the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals in Yuanmingyuan. I believe everyone is familiar with this lot, so I won't say any more. The starting price is 1 million US dollars, and the auction starts now!"
After a brief introduction, the auctioneer announced that the auction of the sheep's head would officially start!
And the starting price is set very high, the starting price is 1 million US dollars!
We must know that the average transaction price of the three animal heads of monkey, ox and tiger at the Xiangjiang Auction in 2004 was only about 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
And the starting price of this sheep's head is 1 million US dollars, which is undoubtedly beyond the expectations of many people.
"$1.5 million!"
However, even at this starting price, someone raised a placard to make an offer soon.
"Two million dollars!" There was another bid.
"$2.5 million!"
"300!"
Many people are interested in this sheep head, not only Chinese people, but also some foreigners are also bidding.
Because many people can see now that these copper heads, which are worthless in their eyes, are very valuable in the eyes of Chinese people.
So they also want to buy it and collect it, and then look for opportunities to sell it at a higher price.
There are not a few people who have this idea, so the price quickly came to 8 million US dollars!
"The price is too high, it's no longer hidden..."
After the price reached 8 million US dollars, some people who thought about collecting it and selling it at a high price have decided to give up.
Because this price is too high, even if it is auctioned in the future, it may not be able to fetch such a high price.
So they simply gave up, and then just be a spectator.
"$8.5 million!"
At this time, Lin Chen saw the bids from the national team below.
"9 million dollars!"
Immediately afterwards, a foreigner followed suit.
Seeing this person, the corners of Lin Chen's mouth rose slightly, and a sneer flashed across his face.
If he guessed correctly, this foreigner should be Christie's babysitter.
When auctioning off the sheep's head, he was sure that the auction house would not use Chinese babysitters, because he was afraid that the Chinese would give up when they saw that it was a Chinese bidding, and then they would fall into his own hands.
Only when a foreigner bids with a Huaxia person, the Huaxia person will be impulsive and will bid a higher price.
As for the Huaxia people themselves, this is not the case, because as long as the sheep head can return to the country, it does not matter who bought it back.
"Looks like it's going to be a quick battle."
Lin Chen thought for a while, and said secretly in his heart.
He can't be played by this child, he must make other people give up bidding, and only him and child are left in the end.
In this way, Tuoer will not be able to raise the price, because Tuoer is also afraid of accidents.
So, Lin Chen finally bid.
"$10 million!"
He held up the placard and said loudly, he said it twice, the first time was in Chinese, and the second time was in English.
The purpose of speaking Chinese is naturally to show his identity.
Sure enough, after hearing his bid, the national team put down their hands that were about to raise their cards.
4.8 They also understand that Lin Chen specially speaks Chinese meaning.
Hearing Lin Chen's bid, everyone looked at the small room where Lin Chen was, as if they wanted to know who Lin Chen was?
However, they can't see anything.
Therefore, everyone could only turn their eyes to that child, as if to see if he would continue to bid.
Toer didn't raise his placard, which meant he gave up, because the price of 10 million US dollars had already greatly exceeded the expectations of the auction house, and there was no need to take any more risks.
"Anyone else bid? 3.......1, deal!"
"clang!"
The auctioneer smashed down the hammer vigorously, and announced the deal!
The transaction price of sheep's head is 10 million US dollars!
Once again broke the auction record for bronze statues of animal heads of the twelve zodiac signs!
