Chapter 76 Romanee-Conti

"Guest No. 696, bid 38.7!"

"Guest No. 364, bid 39!"

"Dear guests, the 50-year-old Riwei Karuizawa is definitely a rare and rare wine. The selling price is extremely valuable. Oh, guest No. 297 bid 39.4!"

……

The price of this bottle of 1963 Nippon Karuizawa is still rising.

In the audience, Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's novel look. He smiled and handed the bidding number plate in his hand to the other party.

"What?"

When Wen Muxue saw Tang Yuan's behavior, there was a look of confusion in her eyes.

"Come and ask for the price and help me take a photo of this bottle of wine."

Tang Yuan pointed to the auction table and said calmly.

"what?"

"I'll take the photo?"

Wen Muxue was stunned for a moment, then waved her hands repeatedly: "No, no, I have never participated in an auction, so you should do it yourself."

"Having one shot, won't you have experience?" Tang Yuan put the bidding number plate directly into Wen Muxue's hand, and at the same time smiled and reassured: "With me by your side, what are you afraid of? Hurry up and bid, wait a moment It’s time for the auctioneer to drop the hammer.”

While the two were talking, the price of the bottle of 1963 Nippon Karuizawa rose again by 2.3, exceeding the 40 mark, with a total value of 41.7 Hong Kong dollars.

Facing Tang Yuan's encouragement and urging, Wen Muxue took a deep breath. She looked both nervous and excited. Her tall and straight waist was like a poplar, her shoulders and neck lines were exceptionally smooth, and there was a hint of cuteness in her serious look.

She clenched the pink fist of her left hand, slowly raised the bidding number plate with her right hand, and shouted with a little confidence: "41.8!"

In the special sale of world-famous wines, the minimum markup for all lots is HK$1000, so Wen Muxue's first quotation was a minimum markup on the price just now.

"Guest No. 566, bid 41.8!"

Although Wen Muxue was a little unsure, her voice was still keenly captured by the auctioneer on the stage, and then the auctioneer repeated it loudly.

The first quotation was successful. This wonderful feeling made Wen Muxue feel very novel. Then she turned to look at Tang Yuan and asked cautiously: "Senior, should we continue to increase the price?"

"Continue." Tang Yuan nodded slightly and said with a smile: "I didn't shout stop, so you just kept shouting. The increase amount is between 1000 Hong Kong dollars and 10000 Hong Kong dollars. You decide according to the situation."

"it is good."

Wen Muxue responded obediently, then turned her head and turned her gaze back to the auction table. Facing the new bids from other competitors, she raised her placard to bid again.

"Guest No. 398, bid 42!"

"Guest No. 566, bid 42.1!"

……

"Guest No. 1691, bid 44.8!"

"Guest No. 566, bid 44.9!"

……

"Guest No. 3404, bid 48.2!"

"Guest No. 566, bid 48.3!"

……

In the next few minutes, every time the bidding was deadlocked, Wen Muxue would raise her slender arms and the bidding number plate in her hand, and each time the price was increased by no more than 1000 Hong Kong dollars.

After several quotations, Wen Muxue gradually became familiar with the process, and her whole body changed from being nervous and nervous at the beginning to being calm and relaxed now.

"boom!"

"Congratulations to guest No. 566 for successfully bidding on Lot 46!"

As the auctioneer's gavel fell, the bottle of 1963 Nippon Karuizawa was successfully auctioned by Wen Muxue for HK$48.3. "call……"

Wen Muxue breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the auctioneer drop the hammer.

"How about it?"

"How does it feel?"

Tang Yuan looked at Wen Muxue's face that was a little red due to nervousness and excitement, handed the unopened bottle of mineral water to him, and asked with a smile.

"It's a little exciting!"

Wen Muxue opened the mineral water, took a sip, and responded in a low voice.

"Then let's continue?"

Tang Yuan pointed to the auction table in front and raised his eyebrows.

After Lot 46 was successfully photographed, Lot 47 was presented seamlessly.

"Dear guests, the auction of lot 47 will proceed!"

“罗曼尼·康帝酒庄精选套装1997年份16瓶750ml，其中罗曼尼·康帝酒庄罗曼尼·康帝特级园红酒1997年份4支、罗曼尼·康帝酒庄踏雪特级园红酒1997年份4支、罗曼尼·康帝酒庄里奇堡特级园红酒1997年份 4支、罗曼尼·康帝酒庄大依瑟索特级园红酒1997年份4支。”

"The starting price is HKD 1!"

The auctioneer's impassioned voice sounded again, and 16 bottles of Romanée-Conti red wine, exquisitely packaged in wooden materials, were slowly pushed onto the auction stage by several Sotheby's staff. Under the illumination of many lights, the bright rose-red color It looks thrilling.

Starting price--

100 million Hong Kong dollars!
When Wen Muxue heard this, her breathing suddenly stagnated.

"Senior, what do you mean..."

"Do you want to continue shooting this set of Chateau Romanée-Conti red wine?"

Wen Muxue's lips parted slightly, and she was a little confused.

"Understood correctly." Tang Yuan smiled and said: "You will hold up the sign and bid in this auction. It is still the old rule. If I don't shout stop, you can continue to shout."

"Senior, why are you taking so many drinks..."

Wen Muxue's eyes showed a little confusion, and she was full of confusion about Tang Yuan's behavior of spending huge sums of money to buy wine.

"Some time ago, I bought a single-family villa in Gubei No. [-]. There is a wine cellar of hundreds of square meters on the basement floor. After we return from the port city, we can move in there. Anyway, we have nothing to do now. When I'm free, I'll take some wine back to fill the wine cellar, so I don't have to buy any more later." Tang Yuan explained with a smile.

Gubei No.[-]?

Detached villa?

Wen Muxue secretly sighed inwardly. Tang Yuan's unfathomable financial resources were simply terrifying, as if there was no limit.

"After I return from the port city, I will take you to visit my home." Having said this, Tang Yuan leaned towards Wen Muxue and whispered: "By the way, I want to test whether the new mattress I bought is soft enough~"

Wen Muxue couldn't help but blush again when she heard Tang Yuan's last words.

"Let's shoot."

“The red wine produced by Chateau Romanée-Conti’s grand cru is a hard currency all over the world. Whether it is given to others or drunk by yourself, it is a very good choice, and it is extremely valuable. You can keep it in your hands for five years and then sell it again. There is a high probability that you can make a small profit.”

Tang Yuan raised his chin, indicating that Wen Muxue could raise her sign to bid.

"it is good!"

Wen Muxue responded, then regrouped, regained her fighting spirit, and started bidding with signs, still increasing the price by 1000 Hong Kong dollars each time, giving people a feeling that they seemed to have reached the limit, but in fact there was no limit.

The Domaine de la Romanée-Conti grand cru red wine set covers almost all the grand cru wineries of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. Such a red wine set with extremely high collection value has naturally been sought after by everyone, and the price has been rising.

Finally, after multiple rounds of bidding, Wen Muxue successfully bought this set of Chateau Romanee-Conti Grand Cru red wine at a price of HK$189.6 million. The price of a single red wine is as high as nearly HK$12...
