Chapter 622: Caused by the Pharaoh's Scepter
Of course, Huo Jian knew what kind of person Xu Ran was, but in fact, what he said to Xu Ran was actually a kind of temptation.
In fact, if it weren't for Granny Cui's willfulness, and the Huo family was unwilling to disobey Granny Cui's will and decision, how could they let Xu Ran get that island easily?
After all, the island of Cuidolan had its sovereignty as early as a hundred years ago, but the area of that island was too much for the Huo family to look down on, and there was no interest in establishing any country, if you really wanted to do that, with the strong financial resources of the Huo family and the heritage of hundreds of years, there is nothing to do in Indonesia or Malaysia now.
So later, after the Huo family gave the island to Granny Cui in its entirety, they originally planned to provide for Granny Cui, but they didn't expect that Granny Cui finally gave it to Xu Ran in the form of relatives and younger generations to inherit the island, and it was impossible for the Huo family to go back, let alone Inni and Malaysia.
After getting that island, Xu Ran had checked a lot of information, so Huo Jianming's temptation didn't mean anything to Xu Ran, and Xu Ran didn't eat that.
So Huo Jianming could only compromise and continue to reduce the area of the material transfer station established by the Huo family on the island, promising that the island would not be affected by any influence from the governments of Malaysia and Yingni, and Xu Ran could get the maximum procedural protection of the Huo family, and he could do anything on the island, no one cared.
And then the other conditions that Huo Jianming prescribed did return to the normal level, and after Xu Ran got enough benefits, it was also very easy to delay the auction of the scepter for a few minutes.
So after hanging up the phone, Xu Ran immediately sent a message to the auctioneer at the scene, asking the other party to delay for a maximum of five minutes before dropping the hammer.
The auctioneer also hopes that the scepter will be sold for as much as possible, one is that it will make him famous, and the other can also reflect his value in front of the boss and be promoted and reused.
Therefore, the auctioneer conducted an exchange between the local tyrants and the beauties of the Middle East, and in order to stimulate them to continue to increase the price, he introduced the contents of the pharaoh's scepter from time to time, so that they felt that they would have to buy it no matter what the price was.
In fact, the situation in the conference hall has indeed reached a stalemate.
And the auction price that Xu Ran was concerned about was also wild to the point where the woman Bayard bid 9.9 billion, and the Middle Eastern tyrant who wanted to win the scepter chased after him and pushed the price to the 1 billion mark in one fell swoop.
At this time, there was another violent sensation in the entire venue, and everyone felt shocked.
Who would have thought that that inconspicuous pharaonic scepter would be so valuable, and that there really would be that kind of super-rich tyrant to compete.
What's more critical is that among the two competitors, the Middle East tyrant is a good money owner in people's inherent concepts, and it doesn't matter if the family behind them is engaged in oil.
But the peerless beauty who has never emerged, and is even low-key to the point of outrageousness, she is so light and light, and she is always so indifferent and elegant in the bidding process, as if money is just a bunch of numbers in her eyes, that open-minded temperament, coupled with that peerless beauty, is really crazy.
If someone takes a video of this auction and posts it, I am afraid it will completely cause a sensation, and that peerless and beautiful young lady may also be able to gain countless fans at once, becoming an unparalleled goddess, making countless brainless fans crazy.
But in fact, the pressure of today's market opening is quite high, and the market companies invite those old customers and members with high reputation.
Moreover, most of those who came to participate in this auction were wealthy, and their identity information was also verified after some investigation and verification, just to avoid some malicious competition or intentional troublemakers mixed in among their peers.
After all, it is very important to do this kind of antique auction business, to manage customers, that is, to provide customers with first-hand information, but also to ensure that customer information cannot be leaked, such as those who prefer to be low-key.
Therefore, there are no boring people taking pictures with mobile phones in the scene, and they all abide by the rules in the venue.
In fact, it doesn't matter if someone shoots a video, once a customer asks that the video doesn't want to appear on the network, Xu Ran will let the video disappear on the network as soon as possible.
There was such a situation when the market opened last time, a customer bought a favorite antique at an antique booth, but someone secretly took a video and posted it to the top, which made the customer very dissatisfied, so he fed back the situation to the market company, and after Le Hui reported to Xu Ran, Xu Ran let the video disappear on it as soon as possible.
Afterwards, let Le Hui apologize to the customer on behalf of the company, and give some small preferential compensation, the customer saw that the company's attitude towards the customer was very correct, and the after-the-fact processing was also very timely in place, so the customer himself handled the top membership not to say, but also recommended several local tyrant friends to come over, which was of great help to the market company's senior customers.
At this time, the auctioneer began to wave his performance, because the bidding had broken through the billion mark, he seemed a little excited, so he reintroduced the pharaoh's scepter, because it has been unanimously identified by many experts, and at the same time, an internationally renowned history doctor who studied ancient Egyptian culture was invited to guess the origin of this scepter, although it is impossible to determine which generation of pharaoh it is, but his authenticity is unquestionable.
It's just that this time, the auctioneer's stinky and long introduction made the beautiful Bayard look a little impatient, so he directly interrupted the auctioneer's detailed introduction and invited the identity and honor information of domestic experts and several internationally renowned historians, and directly raised the card.
"1.1 billion, this lady bid 1.1 billion, and now the competition for this scepter has reached a fever pitch, at this exciting time"
The Middle Eastern tyrant was more interested in the origin of the scepter and some information from the experts, but when he was listening carefully, the lady did not follow the routine and raised the card, so that the Middle Eastern tyrant could only follow the sign and offer: "1.2 billion!"
The auctioneer has been observing this Middle Eastern tyrant and found that he is very interested in relevant information, so he added material in the process and explained some conjectures and inferences about the scepter by the two historians, and he saw that the Middle Eastern tyrant really listened very carefully.
"1.3 billion!"
But the super beauty is a little tired of this kind of explanation, and will take the initiative to interrupt the auctioneer's chatter every time.
The Middle Eastern tyrant was listening to it, but he was interrupted again, and he gradually became a little unhappy, so he raised his card again at the time point: "1.4 billion!"
"1.5 billion!"
At this time, Bayard no longer gave the auctioneer a chance to be verbose, but followed the Middle Eastern tyrants to raise the price, and there was no intention of stopping at all.
In the scene, all the people held their breath at the moment, it was very quiet, and the pin drop could be heard, only the faint wind brought by the sign between the two competitors was heard.
They all wanted to know where the limit of the bidding of these two super tyrants was, and how much money the scepter would eventually be used to auction off.
