Chapter 406: The Best Ambergris
"It's mine. ”
Mu Yu immediately looked at Chi Li with admiration: "Could it be that the member of the Ocean Exploration Department mentioned by the person above is you?"
"It's me. Chi Li was embarrassed, she glanced at the stage, "Let's watch the auction first, and I'll talk to you about this after a while." ”
After the auctioneer quoted the reserve price, some people who knew the market gathered together and whispered a few words.
"Ambergris is a special item, how can we know how good or bad it is with the naked eye, I don't know if we can come to the stage to test it personally. An old man with a western face and a beard stood up and made a suggestion to the auctioneer on the stage.
"In principle, no. The auctioneer said righteously.
Another boss also said: "But if we don't let us check it in person, how do we know if this is a fake, after all, there are too many fakes now, and these eight million are not blowing in the wind." ”
"Yes, you said that antiques, jade, these buy fakes, forget it, reluctantly resell to those who don't know how to sell back, but ambergris is a special item, it has to go through two processing, except for our dry perfume and dry medicine This line will buy it with a lot of money, and no one will buy it, after all, it is useless for ordinary people to hold this stinky stone." ”
"It's even more difficult to resell to peers, everyone knows the goods, who can be deceived. ”
These bosses said one by one, and the auctioneer's righteous expression gradually faded, and his face was embarrassed: "Then please wait for a few minutes, and I will ask if it is okay." ”
With that, the auctioneer hurried to the backstage.
In less than a minute, he returned to the stage: "May I ask where is Ms. Chi......?"
There are many people with the surname Chi, but there are not many in the upper circle of Mingdu, and if the scope is narrowed down, there is only one person surnamed Chi Li in the entire auditorium.
Ikeri raised his hand towards the auctioneer.
The auctioneer immediately stepped down from the stage and respectfully asked Chi Li, "Ms. Chi, what ......is your opinion?"
Chi Li nodded, and made a "please" gesture to the bosses who were interested in ambergris.
The auctioneer returned to the stage and said with the microphone: "Okay, then ask a few bosses to send a representative to the stage to inspect the goods." ”
Several company bosses discussed it and sent out the old man with a beard on his face.
The old man walked up to the stage like a fly, first carefully observing the color of the ambergris with the flashlight provided by the auctioneer, and then gently scraping some powder down the corners with a piece of paper.
Immediately after, he took out a lighter and carefully lit the powder on the paper.
A unique aroma instantly spreads, completely covering up the stench of this area on the stage.
The old man closed his eyes and felt it, and when the fragrance was completely dissipated and the smell reoccupied his sense of smell, the old man opened his eyes, looked at the ambergris in front of him in surprise, and nodded to the people in the audience.
The reaction of the old man proved that this piece of ambergris was indeed a good thing, and after he stepped off the stage, the auctioneer said: "The reserve price is 8 million, please bid." ”
"8.1 million. The old man took the lead in raising the card.
"8.15 million. ”
"8.17 million. ”
"8.2 million. ”
"8.25 million. ”
"8.26 million. ”
"8.28 million. ”
The bidding shouted for a full minute, which sounded very competitive, but the price shouted was only 8.3 million.
Chi Li heard some doorways, frowned and said to Mu Yu: "Are they lowering the price?"
It is very likely that these peers reached an agreement just now, and bought this piece of superb ambergris at the lowest price by lowering the price, and then distributed dividends afterwards.
