Seeing that no one came forward to criticize him at the auction, Vergill knew that the strategy of standing on the buyer's side had been successful.

Moreover, decades of experience have made him realize that as long as he is not abandoned by customers, he will still be the one who is authoritative in appraisal and second only to the three giants of the auction house.

Pointing to the phone offer, he said with a serious expression, "Gentlemen, ladies, £1.6 million for the first time."

Then he waited silently for three or four seconds.

But this extra second or two makes people feel that this old thing is favoring Henry Lee.

But about three seconds is the right to the auctioneer.

"The second time for £1.6 million."

Li Changheng looked at the phone station silently and saw Frank Abanel sitting next to the operator quoting for the price, and his eyes showed the indicator lights that the operator received.

In other words, although phones in this era do not have LCD monitors, the specific phone number cannot be known.

But the operator can still find the city where the phone comes from. Then, after searching in this city, you can find out which phone company comes from.

If you look further, you will know which community it is.

Li Changheng looked at his watch and it was already 11:32 at this time.

With a specific time, the range is even smaller.

Finally, you can find people by using the elimination method.

Even if you are lucky, the operator responsible for wiring will remember or be familiar with the voice of the person making the phone, and things will be simple.

Moreover, the starting price of Artemis and the bronze statues of Bucks is 800,000 pounds.

Those who can buy such artworks and set up plans with others will at least be rich.

Li Changheng smiled and raised his hand to Villgill and said, "2 million."

“Henry,.”

When Annie was noisy at the scene, she grabbed Li Changheng's arm with both worried hands.

Seeing Li Changheng rolling his eyes secretly at him, he immediately realized that his lover was not really competing with others, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he changed his face and his expression became frowning again.

Even worried that someone would see the problem, he simply held his arm, put his pretty face on his shoulder, and then whispered in his ear, "You bad guy, I'm in vain."

Li Changheng almost laughed when he heard this.

Perhaps his offer was too casual, and he raised the price by 400,000 pounds again.

The person on the other end of the phone felt that at least he had to wait for the 100,000 or 100,000 yuan increase to reach his bottom line.

So this time, I didn't hesitate much and directly made the operator shout 2.1 million pounds.

But Li Changheng did not sit in a chair and applauded at the phone quotationist as everyone expected.

A series of "slap" applause instantly made the operator stunned and forgot to report to the person on the other end of the phone that the auction had ended.

The people present looked at Li Changheng, who was holding Annie with one hand, raised his legs and shaking his knees lightly.

I immediately cursed fk,fk,fk.

Although no one stipulated that Li Changheng could not make a counterattack, the momentum of his offer just now and the 404,400,000 pounds increase.

It still makes most people really think that he is bound to win the bronze statue.

But the huge reversal of the ending made people unable to accept it at first, and then they suddenly realized that Li Changheng was playing games from the beginning.

The big guy tricked the man who wanted to cheat him.

Once the person on the other side of the phone does not pay the auction amount of 2.1 million pounds, it is equivalent to a failure.

The deposit he paid would be directly deducted by Vergill Auction House and would be listed as the least popular customer by auction companies around the world.

The worst thing is that this bronze statue of Artemis and the Bucks will be boycotted by many people in the collection industry in the future.

There are also countless antique dealers, auction houses, or people who hope to achieve a certain goal, who will keep jumping out in recent times and express their dissatisfaction with this matter in public. While gaining attention, they will also harvest the hearts of buyers.

Finally, in recent years, the bronze statue can be sold for 600,000 pounds, not to mention 800,000 pounds, even if it is found a surrender collector.

Of course, as time goes by, people will forget or stop paying attention, and the prices will still rise.

After all, the bronze statues of Artemis and the Bucks are real treasures, even treasures.

Vergil, who was standing on the auction table, slowly quoted the price three times. Seeing that Li Changheng really didn't increase the price, he immediately knocked off the wooden hammer.

He shouted, the deal was completed.

Just when everyone thought the auction was over, they began to whisper or laughed at the phone buyer.

A few "Clang" sounds of hammer strikes.

Then Virgil smiled and signaled everyone to be quiet.

Li Changheng, who had never stood up, hugged Annie, and thought to himself that this old thing was indeed an old fox and a smart man.

My actions just now were to regain my reputation, but I did offend those who were hiding in the dark.

If there is no way to make up for it, the trouble afterwards will definitely not be small.

Therefore, it is not difficult to guess how he will choose between offending the buyer of the bronze statue and offending the entire group.

Sure enough, Vergil smiled and thanked the buyers present first, and then directly stated that the auction was over.

Then the topic changed, "With the lunch still a little time, I want to invite some friends who have time to attend a private appreciation and auction.

Of course, friends who are not interested will not waste your time.

We'll see you in half an hour."

"Henry?"

Li Changheng smiled and shook his head at Annie, holding her hand and paying for the delivery like those who bought the auction items.

Let Zhang Tianzhi carry the "Lady Picture" properly wrapped in wooden frames, Li Changheng deliberately took Anne to talk to Rora Fangna Gonzalez.

Then he naturally got to know the owner Jack Chen.

When he heard that Jack Chen was a famous treasure hunter, Li Changheng pretended to be curious, and was relaxed and unexpected, he invited Big Nose to have afternoon tea together.

And unlike having dinner together, drinking afternoon tea can not only achieve the purpose of talking to Da Nose, but also make people feel that he doesn't care about Da Nose, but just wants to hear his story.

Even apart from Annie and Zhang Tianzhi, even the four ace bodyguards including Harry Hart did not realize that Li Changheng was interested in Big Nose.

More than twenty minutes later, Li Changheng took Anne and Rola, who was not leaving, back to the auction hall.

I saw that not only were there many people inside, but there were a few more people wearing casual suits. When I looked at my clothes and appearance, I was probably an appraiser or a scholar.

Vergil stood on the stage again, and knocked on the wooden hammer without much verbalizingly.
