Sean Knight didn't expect the bidding war for Picasso's painting to be so fierce.
This was genuinely beyond his expectation.
"65 million!"
"68 million!"
"Joe, you have already won enough today; stop competing with me - 70 million dollars!"
"Thomas, I'm not the one competing with you, aren't you competing with me? Everything I've been doing today is selling, I'm currently lacking a centerpiece in my collection room – I believe this Picasso painting is just right! 73 million dollars!"
...
The atmosphere of this auction is very relaxed. During bidding, everyone avoids direct confrontations. Even when bidding, it's done in a lively atmosphere.
This made Alex Young extremely envious, he also wished that when he bid, someone would discuss with him a little about their own struggles.
But to his disappointment, when he announced his bid, others outbid him and didn't even glance over at him!
This made him feel humiliated, he even wanted to stand up and leave immediately!
