正式拍卖

但知情人表示，卖方及其顾问并不急于出售，他们希望说服其他竞购方提交报价，然后发起正式拍卖。

However , the seller and its advisers want to take their time to persuade other bidders to submit offers for the company before launching a formal auction , the people said .

在正式拍卖之前，其中的重要拍品已前往爱尔兰、日本和中国进行了巡回展示。

The highlights of the sale had toured Ireland , Japan and China before finally going under the hammer .

由此产生了一场正式的拍卖，在1月份举行，两名竞拍者经过了五个小时、35轮叫价才尘埃落定。

That led to a formal auction , which was held in January and continued for five hours and35 rounds of bidding between two of the bidders , brokers said .

据我了解，国家文物局已经向有关公司正式表明强烈反对拍卖圆明园文物的原则立场，并明确要求撤拍有关文物。

To my knowledge , the State Administration of Cultural Heritage has stated strong opposition against the auction , and demanded its cancellation .
