Text Chapter 320: Pear Flower Needle
Many of the bigwigs present came here with the art of literature and art, enough to buy some classical goods.
For example, Picasso's paintings, or Van Gogh's starry sky, or Renaissance sculptures, these are all good choices.
But now there is no coincidence of this kind of goods, so that the other bigwigs instantly feel a little cold, the host of the auction is a local of Yilian, but he has been trained by Yangglu since he was a child, can speak fluent English, and also specially visited China to study, and Huaxia is also good to speak.
"This is an embroidery needle from the collection of a gentleman in Yangaru, who he said is very classic, with a violent aesthetic in it, and the starting price is $100,000. ”
"Whew, 100,000 dollars, oh my God. ”
Everyone only felt that they had underestimated this embroidery needle before, and they didn't expect that behind the embroidery needle, there was a fool-like owner.
Even if the bigwigs in China have money in their pockets, I'm afraid they won't consider this so-called violent aesthetics.
The host saw that there was a lot of discussion around, but there was still no one holding a card, and he was embarrassed for a while.
He carefully measured the needle on his desk, and if it weren't for the projector behind him putting the whole picture of the needle, he would have thought that he was auctioning off the table with air.
In this case, except for Liu Zhan, no one can see the true value of this needle.
The design of the flying needle should not be too thick, as this will affect the user's balance of control over the flying needle, and if it is too thin, it will not be able to effectively kill enemies.
Only flying needles that do not look particularly bulky and not very slender, and have just the right quality of workmanship, can be used as dark needles.
Although this pear blossom needle is a fake created by the imagination of later generations, in terms of design engineering, it fully meets this price, Liu Zhan is very satisfied with this, and immediately raised the sign and said: "I will pay 100,000 US dollars!"
100,000 US dollars, that's a full 700,000 Chinese dollars, it is more than enough to buy a small house in a third-tier city to collect rent, but now in Liu Zhan's hands, it is just to buy an embroidery needle.
Many wealthy Chinese businessmen around who don't know why hurriedly shook their heads, holding this Liu Zhan, although he is very capable, but he looks a little rich, he has no brains to buy things, just look at the expensive and buy them, this will not last long, or not.
The host was a little admired when he saw that Liu Zhan, a Chinese person, dared to buy even such a simple needle, no wonder others often say that the Chinese people are the richest group on the planet, and now it seems that what he said is true.
Just when everyone thought that the dust was going to settle like this, another voice sounded in the venue, that was Li Hong, the investment consultant of the Xia family in the imperial capital of China, who was responsible for the merger and expansion of the Xia family's industry.
Everyone even Li Hong participated in the auction of an embroidery needle, and they all wanted to wonder what the origin of this needle was, could it be that there was still some story in it.
After Li Hong landed on the island, he wanted to dispose of Xia Shuang's body, but seeing that the auction had already been held, he simply went in to see if there was nothing good to strengthen the Xia family's industry.
This pear blossom has no meaningful value for Li Hong himself, when he heard that the prince of the Xia family has recently opened and collected needles like crazy, he knows that this kind of flying needle must be the favorite of summer, if Li Hong can receive this needle and dedicate it to summer, then when he takes over in the summer in the future, his position Li Hong can take a step forward.
The company's top management is like this, it seems that the appearance is infinite, but in fact, only they know the inner suffering.
When it comes to Li Hong's position, it can be said that he is sitting on pins and needles, if there is a slight carelessness in investment, he will be ruined, this is still to put it mildly, if the point is to say, then Li Hong is likely to go to prison.
The last time he invested in a certain mine, he lost nearly 300 million Huaxia coins, and he was fortunate to have Li Hong's power, so he had to carry this matter, if he could take care of the heir of the future Xia family this time, maybe he would be able to let him go before he had time to fill the hole in the future.
People are like this, when they are about to die, they always like to try to survive by various means, and this is the same for Li Hong.
Keane and Junov really couldn't understand why Liu Zhan spent $100,000 to buy an embroidery needle, if they had this money, they could go to Yangglu and other regions in Russia and drink champagne with the model in their arms.
But what they didn't expect was that in addition to Liu Zhan, there would be a fool who raised his card, and the asking price was higher than Liu Zhan.
"I'll pay $200,000!" Li Hong's voice was as dull as that of an old bell, and he seemed to be a person who was particularly scheming.
When Liu Zhan heard this, he was also a little curious, he didn't expect that there were still masters in this world, and he actually cut out the preciousness of this pear flower needle, so he also increased the price: "300,000!"
"400,000!" (Li Hong)
"500,000!" (Liu Zhan)
"600,000!" (Li Hong)
"800,000!" (Liu Zhan)
"Nine hundred thousand!" (Li Hong)
"Two million!" Liu Zhan yelled, stunned the audience, because they really couldn't imagine that a mere embroidery needle would be worth two million dollars.
It's really a city that can play, which makes these bigwigs confused, is it possible that even the people of the Xia family are very optimistic about this embroidery needle?
Li Hong was also a little frightened when he heard this, as the investment adviser of the Xia family, he did make a lot of money, but no matter how rich he was, he couldn't compare with Liu Zhan, he would actually use two million dollars of funds because he bought an embroidery needle, which is very irrational behavior in the investment world.
Li Hong nudged the frame of his glasses and looked in the direction of Liu Zhan, as if to remember this young man.
Because of Liu Zhan's domineering, almost no one dared to compete with him, some because of his bravery in the ring, and some because they were afraid of Liu Zhan's tyrant atmosphere and were impressed by him.
"Two million once, two million times, two million three times, deal!" With the final word, Liu Zhan's pear flower needle can be regarded as getting it.
It's not just Liu Zhan who is excited, but also a broken nobleman in the VIP area of Yangglu, he was originally the son of a duke, but because of his family's downfall, he planned to take out something to come here to mess with his luck, and they all said that this Chinese man's money is easy to make, and it seems that he didn't expect it to be true.
The other nobles looked at this dilapidated nobleman with disdain, and their hearts were full of disdain, thinking that your treasure is a fart, but the labor and management are high imitations.
With Liu Zhan's first shot, other nobles began to look forward to today's auction more and more, just an embroidery needle was sold for two million, so what if it was the high-imitation artwork seized by the Eight-Nation Alliance when it entered the imperial capital, as well as the Italian Renaissance stone carvings?
Hesitating about Lord Windsor's temporary retirement, now Duke William is temporarily taking over the throne, and while he was excited to see his younger brother behind him because he sold the family's ancestral embroidery needle, he also drank an early celebration banquet with Corleone.
"It's a shame for you, Corleone. ”
"Where, where, Duke William has worked tirelessly and crossed thousands of miles across the ocean, I am the one who wants to say sorry. ”
"Hahaha, these stupid Chinese people can sell an embroidery needle for two million dollars alone, it's like they have a money printing machine at home. ”
Corleone dared to say how Liu Zhan's money came from, so he had to smile and say: "These Chinese people are like this, their lives are cheap, even if we make, they will rush to enjoy it." ”
"Hahaha, Corleone, you are so business-minded, when I go back this time, I must report it to Her Majesty the Empress of Yangglu, and let her canonize you personally. ”
"Yes, thank you so much, Sir William. ”
Henry on the side was very unhappy when he heard it, this Corleone is a personal essence, and he is like this in the Yangglu Congress, full of sycophants and embezzlers, but Henry has nothing to say, after all, this Yangglu councilor is also a miasma.
It's just that Corleone is very likely to become a knight with this now, after all, he is now a nobleman who is currying favor with a piece of aristocrats, and when he returns to Yangru, it will definitely be a sure thing.
The next things are some sculptures, as well as celebrity oil paintings, Liu Zhan also knows a little bit about this kind of thing, but these things are not very relevant to him now, even if he buys them, he has no place to hang them, so he naturally dozes off.
But even in the middle of the auction, the host was also surprised to find that there was an additional thing in his treasure list, King Illian.
After speaking, the staff brought a horse, and the king of horses with black manes was now pulled up by the staff like goods, causing an uproar among the audience and businessmen.
"Wow, it's a BMW!"
"It's a mixed race, otherwise I wouldn't be able to look so big. ”
"That's it. ”
The businessmen talked a lot, after all, this kind of horse king can be met but not sought, but if it is encountered, then it must be won, a horse race down, it is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of income, equivalent to a living money printing machine.
After seeing that the King of Horses finally appeared, the sensible Junov hurriedly woke up Liu Zhan and said, "Master, the horse has come out." ”
Liu Zhan nodded and said: "It seems that my horse was caught and abused a little bit inside, this is not good, later, I have to find Corleone and them to settle this account." ”
The king of horses has been whipped all over his body, which is shocking to see, but the more whips he makes, the better the horse's patience is, and he knows from the dense marks on the horse's body that the king of horses has been less tortured during the period of being adopted, even people who don't understand horses know at this moment that this horse must be a priceless horse.
The more stubborn the horse's temperament, the more obedient he will be to his master when he is subdued in the future, just like his life partner.
"A minimum of $1 million. ”
"Needless to say, this horse must be mine. Shen Tao, chairman of the Horse Farm Association of Zhonghai Province in China, said that this person has a nickname, called a horse idiot, and treats horses more than his wife.
Immediately, he opened his mouth and shouted: "Two million!"
This BMW is BMW, and the effect is faster than other things, with Shen Tao's bidding, followed by three million, four million, basically every time the price is called, it is a million increase, such a situation makes people can't help but boil, and they have joined the bidding.
Li Hong saw that the embroidery needle could not be bought, but it was also a good investment to buy this horse with public funds, and in the future, he would be led to the horse farm and find a first-class senior knight to work for the company, so that the hole he had lost could be replenished.
"Ten million!" Li Hong was even afraid when he quoted this price, because this 10 million US dollars was not a small amount, and it was enough to make up for one-third of his deficit in finances.
Those aristocrats of Yangglu are not very calm after seeing that horse, heroes love BMWs, nobles are good horses, that's the reason.
After Duke William saw the horse king, he couldn't turn his eyes, as if he was a pervert and finally set his eyes on the goddess he had loved for a long time.
Immediately, Duke William broke the skylight and shouted for the first time in the noble hall: "Twelve million!"
But before his voice could pass, a roar erupted from the hall: "Don't fight, this horse is mine!"
After that, everyone wondered whose voice it was, and as expected, it was Liu Zhan standing there shouting.
