IS THERE no 限界 to the Midas touch of millionaire John Madejski?
The Reading Football Club owner - who 設立するd 自動車 仲買人 magazine and then sold it for 続けざまに猛撃するs 260 million - has been telling friends he has got the steal of the century by 事故 at a 最近の art auction.
Madejski (権利) halfheartedly stuck his 手渡す up for a small Degas figurine of a young ballet ダンサー - Petite Danseuse De Quatorze Ans - at Sotheby's auction house, and 突然に won the lot.
'The bidding started at 続けざまに猛撃するs 3.2million and then went up to 続けざまに猛撃するs 4.2million very quickly,' he tells me. 'I stuck my 手渡す up to see what happened, and there was すぐに a 塀で囲む of silence, and all I could hear was the gavel coming 負かす／撃墜する.
'I felt like 説 that there had been some sort of a mistake, as I was 推定する／予想するing it to go for more than 続けざまに猛撃するs 7 million.
'I think it went cheap because of the absence of American 投資家s: the dollar is very weak against the 続けざまに猛撃する.' He has 貸付金d the bronze to the 王室の 学院, where it will be 陳列する，発揮するd in the 'John Madejski 罰金 Rooms' - which were renovated with help from a 続けざまに猛撃するs 3million 寄付 by the entrepreneur. Pip,
pip!
