Chapter 347



On the auction stage, Li Qian drank two more sips of water and said, “Next, it’s our penultimate treasure tonight. Please watch the big screen first, and then I’ll introduce it.”

As the big screen lit up again, a watch appeared on it.

It was exactly the goal of Chu Tian and Li Sisi’s visit to Shanghai this time, Patek Philippe ref.1527.

Li Qian glanced back at the big screen and said: “As for watches, I believe that everyone here must be familiar with them. A precious watch is not only a symbol of identity and status but also shows a person’s taste and charm. ”

“There’s a saying, a poor car, a rich watch; a fool has a better phone, and the wise have a better computer.”

Li Qian chuckled and said, “Of course, this is just a joke, but it does illustrate the status of watches among the truly rich.”

“The watch we are going to auction tonight is called Patek Philippe ref.1527. It was made in 1943. It has an 18k gold case with a diameter of 37.6mm and a dial inlaid with 23 gems.”

“At the same time, it is also the Patek Philippe brand, the first chronograph moon phase watch with a perpetual calendar.”

“There are only two Patek Philippe watches of this model, and the other one is called Patek Philippe ref. 1526. Compared with this one, Patek Philippe ref. 1526 has no timing function.”

“Ten years ago, in 2010, this watch also appeared in our Christie’s auction house. Of course, it was not our Christie’s auction house in Shanghai.”

“In 2010, the auction price of this watch was more than 5.6 million, which was converted into our country’s currency. At that time, the market price was around 40 million.”

“It is a great honor that Christie’s Auction House in Shanghai is able to auction this unique watch in the world again after ten years. It should be clearer than me, the starting price is 40 million, and the price increases every time the placard is raised, two lakhs, starting now.”

When he arrived at the Patek Philippe ref. 1527, Li Qian was surprisingly calm, but there was a reverence in his tone.

Without waiting for others to raise their cards, Chu Tian took the lead and said, “50 million!”

A direct price increase of 10 million.

Just an additional two lakhs for each subsequent bid?

Isn’t this a joke?

If we keep increasing the price by 200,000 each time, it will be never-ending for this watch without a twenty minute bidding period. It’s just too time-consuming.

Therefore, directly increase the price by 10 million, and kill a group of people with a stick first.

“50 million!”

Li Qian’s voice suddenly became excited again, and he said: “It’s the boss with the number 253 again. This guy doesn’t take many shots, but he is definitely the king of the aura tonight. If he doesn’t take a shot, it will be enough. If he takes a shot, he will definitely bring the overlord who despises the audience. The price is directly increased by 10 million, and the current price is 50 million, is there more than 50 million?”

“50.2 million!”

Suddenly, Li Qian looked in the other direction of the auction and said, “Someone sold it, and the current price is 50.2 million. Is there any higher price than 50.2 million?”

“55 million!” Chu Tian raised the cards in his hand and shouted again.

“It’s the boss with the number 253 again.” Li Qian looked at Chu Tian and said, “The price has been raised to 55 million again. Is there any price higher than 55 million?”

There was a brief silence, and someone raised a bidding card again.

“55.2 million!” Li Qian said, “It seems that the boss, no. 253, has displayed an aura of contempt towards the crowd. He did not intimidate everyone. There are still people who choose to be unconvinced. The current price is 55.2 million. Is there a higher price than 55.2 million?”

Chu Tian looked at Li Sisi and said in a low voice: “Sister, why do I feel like this bastard is trying to bring hatred to me? Does he want everyone in the audience to fuck me?”

Li Sisi pursed her lips and said, “Auctioneer, isn’t he using verbal provocations to make everyone compete for bids? If he doesn’t add fuel and vinegar, he won’t be able to make trouble, and the price will definitely not go up.”

“Yes.” Chu Tian nodded, “Then just beat them all to death with a stick.”

“Hey, how dare you!”

Suddenly, without waiting for Chu Tian to raise his card, Li Sisi hurriedly pressed his hand down and glared at him, “If you dare to shout at one hundred million, I will have nothing to do with you today.”

“Eh…” Chu Tian said innocently, “Sister, I didn’t want to call a hundred million.”

“Come on!” Li Sisi stared and said, “I don’t know what you’re thinking. I won’t hold you accountable, but you’ve shouted a hundred million dollars. Give me the sign and I’ll bid.”

Really worried about letting Chu Tian raise his bid, Li Sisi snatched the bid from Chu Tian’s hand and raised it directly.

“55.4 million!” Li Qian said, “The price has reached 55.4 million. Is there any price higher than 55.4 million?”

“55.6 million.”

Time passed, and finally, after a long bidding competition, the price was locked at 58 million.

Standing on the auction stage, Li Qian held a microphone in one hand and a small hammer in the other, and said, “58 million, one time!”

“58 million twice!”

“58 million three times, deal!”

With the hammer in his hand falling, Li Qian looked at Chu Tian and Li Sisi, “Congratulations to the owner of number 253, who has successfully won the world’s only Patek Philippe & Co. Ref.1527 Rose Gold Watch for 58 million,” he said excitedly.
