The news earlier this month that three bottles of Château Lafite, from the 1869 vintage, had sold at auction in Hong Kong for £437,900 gives a new meaning to the “China price”. This phrase usually means the lowest price – reflecting the competitiveness of Chinese manufacturers. But there is also a “China price” at the top end of the market, as rich Chinese bid up the price of rare, luxury goods to levels that make western rivals go pale and slink out of the auction room.
上月早些时候,三瓶1869年份的拉菲堡(Château Lafite)在香港拍出43.79万英镑,这则消息赋予了“manbetx3.0 价格”一层新的含义。这个词通常指的是最低廉的价格——反映出manbetx3.0 制造商的竞争力。但如今在最高端的市场,也存在一个“manbetx3.0 价格”,富裕的manbetx3.0 人把稀世奢侈品的价格,哄抬到让许多西方竞价对手吓得脸色发白、以至于悄悄溜出拍卖场的地步。
