Chapter 62: The Peking Man Spine
On the presiding stage, Lian En, who had come back to his senses, gave an exaggerated explanation, looked at Shen Jiannan with affection in his eyes, and began the final bidding countdown.
And in her enthusiastic attitude, the guests around her also gave the most enthusiastic applause to the sky-high price of one million dollars.
Although some people see Shen Jiannan standing with Buffett and Soros, this exaggerated price is likely to be just a business trumpet between rich people.
But a million dollars, with such a large sum of money, to buy a pocket watch that can only be regarded as an ornament at best, is enough to make people envious, respectful, and admired.
There were no surprises.
Lotus counted down three times, and the pocket watch was attributed to Shen Jiannan's name.
Because of this, Shen Jiannan instantly became the focus of the scene.
This is the first million-dollar sale at the banquet.
The most surprising thing is that he actually appeared from a yellow-skinned Oriental.
Bang Bang Bang –
It seems that Americans' prejudice and discrimination against the yellow race seem to have disappeared, and when the waiter respectfully walked in front of Shen Jiannan with the box in his hand, the audience erupted in warm applause.
Yeon-mi didn't lie.
It is indeed an ordinary pocket watch, if you have to say that there is any different value, it may be that this pocket watch was used by Buffett.
Shen Jiannan nodded politely around, picked up the pocket watch in his hand and played with it.
"This pocket watch looks like it's been around for a while, and I think it must have been made by everyone. ”
"Oh. Yes. This was left to me by my great-grandfather, I didn't expect you to like it so much. ”
Warren Buffett said with a smile, but unlike when he first met, the smile on his face at this time looked more sincere and soft, and there was also a touch of intimacy and kindness.
Shen Jiannan auctioned the pocket watch he donated at such a sky-high price, no matter what you say, it is a recognition, praise and respect for him.
No one's money was picked up from the ground, was it?
What's more, it is an international financial predator like Shen Jiannan, and his one million dollars is not just one million dollars.
"Oh, Warren. Your watch fetched a whopping $1 million, and I'm probably going to be embarrassed. ”
Soros said in a hurry.
There was a bit of ridicule in the tone, and there was a bit of provocation and unconvincing flavor.
Because Soros has always regarded himself very highly, in addition to leading the quantum fund to speculate around the world, he has always been the person who has donated the most in the global charity industry.
But tonight, the pocket watch donated by Warren Buffett was auctioned for a sky-high price of one million dollars, which is undoubtedly in the limelight.
No one will pay attention to the real reason for this.
But it's conceivable that by the time the newspaper comes out tomorrow, someone will say: Warren Buffett donated a million dollars worth of pocket watches.
Regarding the ridicule and resentment of Soros's half-truths, Shen Jiannan smiled and said nothing, in the world of capital, there are some things, whoever takes it seriously is stupid.
Warren Buffett smiled wryly and said, "George." I don't think so. ”
The pyramid structure of human society allows people at different levels to always be in different circles.
Warren Buffett, Soros and Shen Jiannan were playing like a transcendent riddle, while the guests around them focused on the three of them.
This place in the United States, it's huge.
It's just that the circle of the rich is not big.
Everyone can imagine how much benefit it would bring if they were involved with people like Soros and Warren Buffett.
Isn't it to participate in the banquet just to get to know more of such big names?
But it's a pity that in the circle where the three of them are, there is an obvious layer of separation, which outsiders can't fit into.
Of course, this does not affect what outsiders talk about.
The person who can stand with Warren Buffett and Soros, and can throw a million dollars at will, is by no means idle.
"Stephen. Do you know who that guy is?"
In a relatively remote and unobtrusive corner, Luo Wayne endured the irritability and unhappiness in his heart, and asked his friends about Shen Jiannan's identity.
To be honest, he was really very uncomfortable in his heart, and there was a hint of anger.
Berkshire Hathaway's capital has been increasing since the cannibalization of GEICO, and as a result, Buffett has begun to look for many potential companies to invest in.
Apple, as a technology company on the GEM, is easily favored. If he can get close to Buffett and describe the company's future, Wayne believes that with Buffett's influence and insight in the financial markets, he may be able to bring a little change to Apple's current poor situation.
But now, that opportunity has been ruined.
That bastard who came out of nowhere, was unreasonable and ruined his plans.
"Oh my God. You don't even know him?"
Stephen Ann, who works on Wall Street, was surprised.
As a financial practitioner, he knows very well who Shen Jiannan is.
Knock down the mark, bring down the Bank of England, make a mess of the entire European currency market, and make him a lot of money with it.
Devil?
NO。
He is a well-deserved God, or a God who specializes in handing out money.
"Wayne. Didn't you watch the news?"
"Walter?"
"You always know about the depreciation of the Finnish mark, right?"
"He broke the pound. ”
“......”
“......”
"You don't even know about a big man like him. God, what the hell have you been up to lately?"
Listening to his friends' admiration and exaggerated stories about what Shen Jiannan did in Europe, Luo Wayne felt like he had been hit by a hammer, and he didn't know whether it was pain or happiness.
It is precisely because of the turmoil caused by the European currency crisis that Apple's recent situation has been even worse, and he did not expect that the culprit is actually the bastard who just shattered his plans.
But at the same time, Wayne was glad in his heart.
Just now, he was looking for a chance to give that damn bastard a little color.
If he did...... It's going to die ugly.
The following lot, courtesy of Mr. George Soros of the Quantum Foundation, is a historical artifact from China and a major discovery in human archaeology. ”
"Once, this discovery shocked the world. ”
“......”
Presiding over the stage.
The waiter held a clear glass box and placed it on the auction table, and Lynn held the microphone and told the origin of the item with a smile on her face.
Through the glass cover, you can see a long stone strip of object on the golden cloth.
It is indeed a cultural relic from China.
But unlike ordinary cultural relics, the history of this cultural relic can even be traced back hundreds of thousands of years.
Pekingese, fossilized vertebrae.
