Chapter 355: Money Is the Easiest Thing in the World to Get (Ask for Subscription)

The three-day auction continues.

On the second day, 70 lots were sold, 33 were unsold, and 37 were sold, and the turnover rate was a little lower than that on the first day, only 53% was less than a point.

Even so, such a high transaction rate still attracted reporters to report more than once.

After all, many of the normal auction turnover rates are less than 50%.

In fact, Wang Chen knew in his heart that the reason why the turnover rate of his auction was so high was entirely because Young Master Xu mobilized his connections to invite many rich people, otherwise it was estimated that it would be about 40% at most.

On the morning of the third day, 39 pieces were tendered, and I don't know if it was the reason why there were more high-grade jadeite, but Mr. Zhou and Mr. Zheng frequently sold 25 pieces.

Afternoon.

The auction continues.

A.

Five pieces.

Thirteen pieces.

After rounds of bidding, it was soon around five o'clock in the afternoon, and only the last bid was left without bidding.

Wang Chen, like the previous two days, stood at the door and took a deep breath, the last one, it can be said that this auction has been a complete success, but he is nervous again, because the last item to be sold is the high ice seed Zhengyang green jade ball.

This is the bid king set by Tianyuxuan Auction House, and it is actually the real bid king.

Of course, the auction has not officially started yet, and Wang Chen doesn't know if the final transaction price can exceed the $100 million of Gluttonous Cannibal, well, the price of Gluttonous Cannibal is fake, and Sister Mei is To.

The auctioneer pointed to the big screen and said: "This is the last bid of this auction, it is a whole piece of high-ice Zhengyang green jadeite from Myanmar, its shape is like a football, generally speaking, large jadeite is very easy to crack, especially such a high-grade jadeite, once there is a crack, the impact on the price is very large, but I can tell you very clearly, after our professional appraiser evaluation, there is no crack in this jade ball...... " He sprinkled a lot of words according to Wang Chen's explanation.

Wang Chen's palms were full of sweat, hoping to shoot a little higher, the higher the better, because no matter how much money he finally auctioned, it would be in his own hands.

"This jade ball weighs 10,023.8 grams, and the whole body is high ice Zhengyang green, which is rare in the world. The auctioneer sighed, then said with a smile: "Of course, its starting price is also very high, 81.76 million US dollars, and each increase must not be less than 5 million US dollars, and the bidding will start now." ”

When the auctioneer announced the starting price, there was silence unlike the previous uproar.

Many people were shocked by the price.

The starting price is as high as 81.76 million US dollars, which is about 550 million when converted into RMB!

Of course, there are not a few things that sold for more than $100 million, such as Klimt's "Portrait of Adler Brauch Bauer I" in '06 that sold for $135 million, Willem de Kooning's "Woman III" for $137 million in the same year, and Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" in '17 for a terrifying $450 million.

But these are the treasures of a historical-level master.

So far, in the world, the highest price for jadeite is the legendary celebrity Barbara Hutton old collection of natural jadeite beads auctioned by Sotheby's Hong Kong in 14 years, and the transaction price is as high as 214 million Hong Kong dollars, about 170 million RMB.

It has set a new world auction record for jadeite jewelry.

Now, the starting price of this jade ball is as high as 81.76 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 641.73 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly 550 million RMB!

No matter how much the price increases later, as long as it can be sold, it is enough to set a new record for the auction in the Emerald World!

The thought of being able to witness the birth of the world record made many people at the scene excited.

After a moment of silence, a voice came out of nowhere, "it." ”

Then the pot exploded on the spot.

"The starting price is more than $80 million?"

"Oh my God, that's crazy!"

"Where did Tianyuxuan Auction House get such a valuable jadeite? It's incredible, it's incredible!"

"If we can make a deal, a new world record will be born!"

"It's true if it's sold, but the starting price is more than 80 million US dollars, I think the probability of unsuccessful auction is very high, maybe Tianyuxuan is making a profit. ”

"Also, who is willing to spend so much money?"

"Regardless of whether the transaction is completed or not, it is worth the trip today. ”

"Well, read on. ”

While everyone exclaimed, they felt that this jade ball would be missed, and there was no lack of regret in their tone.

Wang Chen, who was standing at the door, took these words in his ears.

Unsold?

Hehe, think too much.

He smiled dumbly, others may not know, can Wang Chen not know that there are already two bigwigs on the scene who are eyeing this jade ball?

The bosses of Chow Tai Fook and Chow Tai Sang will never allow this jade ball to fall into the hands of competitors.

Why?

It's a simple truth.

Once this jade ball is sold, it will set a new world record, naturally, the global media will scramble to report, which jeweler can take it, it is equivalent to a large-scale publicity in the world, this smashed down a billion advertising costs are real, not to mention that you can also do a lot of things with the help of this historical jade ball, such as holding a jewelry exhibition at the same time, announcing that this jade ball will be exhibited together, and then it can attract countless eyes.

In short, both Mr. Cheng and Mr. Chow will give it their all.

Even Wang Chen dared to believe that many jewelers who did not participate in this auction would regret that they missed an opportunity to make their brand known bigger!

Sure enough, after a short uproar, Mr. Zhou took the lead in attacking, and he raised his card.

The auctioneer immediately stretched out his hand and said, "The starting bid for No. 2566 is $85.76 million." ”

Not to be outdone, Mr. Zheng raised the number plate the next moment.

"Nine million and seven hundred and sixty thousand dollars. ”

Mr. Zhou was determined to raise the card again.

"Nine thousand, five hundred and seventy thousand!"

"One hundred and seven hundred and seventy thousand!"

Because each price increase must not be less than five million dollars, in just a few rounds, the price has climbed by 20 million dollars!

Wang Chen's little heart was trembling, exciting, it was too exciting.

Originally, he thought that this jade ball would be a war between Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhou, but what he didn't expect was that another person intervened!

After a few rounds of bidding, Michael Kadoorie raised his hand.

"One hundred and fifty million seven hundred and seventy thousand. ”

Subsequently, Arkady Abramovich also took part in this war!

"One hundred and seventy thousand. ”

The scene was once again noisy.

"Holy!"

"The price has reached 110,760,000!"

"It's terrible, at first I thought it would be a failed auction, but I didn't expect that there were so many rich people, and they were really willing to spend so much money to shoot this jade ball. ”

"It's a world record!

Everyone is witnessing the setting of a new world record.

The only question now is what number this world record will end up at!

Perhaps the scene was too noisy, but the auctioneer maintained order and said, "Please be quiet, thank you." ”

Many people realized that they were rude and lowered their voices, but they didn't stop communicating, but whispered over there, no way, this finale was really shocking.

When everyone was quiet for a moment, Mr. Zhou raised his card again!

"One hundred and fifty million seven hundred and seventy thousand!"

Wang Chen swallowed his saliva, Wori, how much money does buddy have to make?

At this point, the other three seemed to hesitate.

The auctioneer asked, "115,760,000,000, does anyone still increase the price?" 115,760,000 ......."

"Can you pause for a moment?" Mr. Zheng asked suddenly.

The auctioneer cast inquiring glances at Wang Chen and Young Master Xu.

Wang Chen nodded slightly.

The auctioneer turned around and mumbled, "Okay, let's take a break." ”

It's about taking a break.

However, more than 300 people at the scene all set their eyes on Mr. Zheng.

Wang Chen was also looking at Mr. Zheng and wondered if he would bid again.

Mr. Zheng seemed to be on the phone, his voice was very low, he didn't know what he was talking about, and he still said a few words to Zheng Gang on the side from time to time.

Mr. Zhou didn't really rest either, and lowered his head as if he was sending a message.

There was a pause of about ten minutes in between.

But no one rushed, because everyone understood that these ten minutes were worth the wait!

Finally, Mr. Zheng took a deep breath, held up his card, and took the initiative to offer: "130 million!"

As soon as this price came out, the scene was silent!

Unlike the whispering just now, this time it was really silent.

130 million US dollars, equivalent to 874.4 million RMB!

And from Mr. Zheng's tone just now, it can be heard that this is the highest price he can offer.

Will Mr. Zhou still follow?

Will Arkady Abramovich and Michael Kadoorie follow?

This question was born in everyone's minds.

Including Wang Chen, he clenched his fists, and he didn't take a breath, just wondering if anyone followed.

"130 million, 2588 bid 130 million dollars. The auctioneer was very responsible: "Is there anyone else bidding? 130 million, is there anything else?"

I asked several times in a row, but no one raised a sign.

Wang Chen saw that Mr. Zhou seemed to be hesitating, while Arkady Abramovich and Michael Kadoorie smiled wryly, thinking that they had given up.

Seeing that no one bids, "the last time, 130,000 ......"

"Wait!" Mr. Zhou took a deep breath, looked down at the number plate in his hand, the expression on his face was uncertain, hesitant, resolute, kept changing, but gradually, his eyes became more and more determined, about a few seconds later, he raised the number plate in his hand and did not speak.

The default markup is $5 million.

Wang Chen was overjoyed.

The auctioneer also said with joy in his tone: "No. 2566 bids 135 million. As he spoke, he looked at Mr. Zheng.

But this time, Mr. Zheng smiled helplessly and shook his head, saying that he would not increase the price.

Wang Chen took a look and knew that the final price might be maintained at 135 million.

Indeed, as he guessed, the auctioneer reminded him several times, but no one bided.

"For the last time, $135 million. After the auctioneer finished shouting, he raised the auction hammer in his hand and knocked it down fiercely, saying, "No. 2566." ”

Mr. Zhou held up a sign.

"Congratulations on taking this photo. The auctioneer congratulated loudly, and the first one applauded: "Let's congratulate this gentleman with a round of applause." ”

Smack, smack, smack.

The audience erupted in thunderous applause.

"Oh my God!"

"A new world record has been born!"

"US$135 million, nearly HK$850 million higher than the previous world record!"

"I'm afraid that no one will be able to break this new world record within 20 years, a record of nearly 1.60 billion Hong Kong dollars!"

"It was an eye-opener, and today was really an eye-opener. ”

"Yes, I originally wanted to come and see if this newly opened auction company had any high-quality products, but the three-day auction completely shocked me, every piece is a high-quality product, even if some unsold bids are all high-quality products, but I didn't meet a suitable seller, this Tianyuxuan auction company has something. ”

"It's just something, if you think about the turnover in the past three days, is it possible to exceed Sotheby's last year's autumn auction total?"

"Wait! It looks like there's a real possibility of surpassing!"

When someone mentioned it, many people were shocked.

A newly opened auction company only auctioned nearly 200 lots, and the total turnover may have exceeded last year's Sotheby's autumn auction?

You must know that a top large company like Sotheby's has two or three thousand pieces on sale during the autumn auction!

With such an analysis, many people immediately thought of one thing, Tianyuxuan's auctions are all high-quality products, real high-quality products, which can have such a high transaction rate, and the final turnover reaches a terrifying number!

On the contrary, Wang Chen smiled slightly, he knew better than anyone else that the reason why the total amount of his auction house was so high this time was that there were three top bids, lotus crane green seed plate, The gluttonous cannibal and the high-ice Zhengyang green jade ball, one sold for 50 million US dollars, one sold for 100 million US dollars, and the last one reached a terrifying 135 million US dollars, and if these three things were converted into Hong Kong dollars, it reached 2.237 billion Hong Kong dollars, plus nearly 100 other bids were sold, and it is natural that the total turnover will catch up with last year's Sotheby's autumn auction.

Now the only question is, what is the total amount of the transaction?

Wang Chen didn't know for the time being, because the auction had just ended, and he didn't have time to look at the specific data.

……

Background.

When the auction ended, Wang Chen rushed in as soon as possible.

As a result, when he ran inside, he found that there was someone who came in faster than himself, yes, it was Young Master Xu.

As soon as Young Master Xu saw him come in, he immediately said excitedly: "Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Do you know how much the total turnover of our spring auction has reached? Do you know?"

Where did Wang Chen know, and hurriedly asked, "How much?"

Young Master Xu raised the notebook in his hand, and said in a slightly trembling tone: "490,510,000 US dollars, which is converted into 3,850 million Hong Kong dollars! 3,850 million! I think it is enough to beat this year's spring auctions of major auction houses such as Sotheby's, Casset, and Poly!"

it!

HK$3,850 million!?

Wang Chen was really stunned, damn, buddy has made a fortune again this time, removing the 150 million US dollars of the two false auctions of the lotus crane green plate and the gluttonous cannibal man, and then removing other expenses such as paying taxes, he can make 320 million US dollars guaranteed!

An auction made more than 2,152 million RMB!

Wang Chen didn't expect that making money could become so easy, thinking back to when he just left school half a year ago, he couldn't even pay the rent of 800 yuan, and now he earns more than 200 yuan in an auction, he feels that the drama of life is too great.

His life has changed too much because of the mysterious space.

At this moment, Wang Chen gradually understood that Ma Yun blew some "cowhides", what money is the easiest thing in the world to get, what I don't love money, when the ability to make money reaches this point, Wang Chen feels that when he sees Ma Yun, he will definitely hold the other party's hand, and say a word with sympathy: I believe you are a ghost, you are a bad old man!
