Chapter 424: Kneel down to the local tyrant
Because of someone's generous donation, almost everyone's eyes in this auction are focused on those three limited edition lots. So much so that the jewelry, antiques, oil paintings, and even a pearl necklace in front of me were not very well participated.
Ma Wei sat quietly, to say that he came to participate in the auction this time, but not to see who the car fell to in the end, and how much the lot he donated was bought by others. Instead, they came to spend money on charity.
Last year, he found the Love and Warm Heart Foundation, which has helped hundreds of thousands of Russians with his regular monthly donations. Including at the beginning of the year, the person in charge of the foundation specially sent him a thank you video. The people who appear in the video are all socially disadvantaged groups who have received Ma Wei's donations.
Before coming to the auction, Ma Wei looked at his bank deposits, which had already exceeded $7.2 billion. Once you fish at home and don't go out to spend money, the growth of this capital is like opening a hanging.
So, when the security personnel pushed out an antique lamp from the vault, which was quite pleasing to his eyes. Ma Wei suddenly made a decision, that is, to spend some money casually, buy it and forget it. Anyway, to do charity, what you want is to be kind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what we are going to auction now is an antique table lamp from the Tsarist period. Our auction valued it at over $950,000. The starting price is $100,000, with a minimum price increase of $50,000 each time......"
Because of the antique lamps on the stage, the shape and maintenance are not bad, and they are loved by some wealthy people. So the bidding was quite fierce, and soon the starting price from $100,000 to $450,000 was shouted.
"$100,000!"
"$250,000. ”
"$450,000!"
……
"$900,000, this beauty on the No. 65 plate, bid $900,000. Is there anything higher than 900,000?"
"1.25 million, this gentleman on the No. 39 plate, bid $1.25 million, is there anything higher than 1.25 million? 1.25 million one-time ......"
The most laborious thing in the audience is the beautiful auctioneer who devotes herself to hosting. Although she also knows that the last three lots are the most important thing in this auction. But out of professional principle, whether it is a 10,000 yuan lot or a 1 million yuan lot, she has to go all out.
"$1,250,000 twice!" the auctioneer said, staring earnestly at the audience. Hopefully, at this time, someone can shout one more price and push the lot higher. But no matter how rich people are, they are all rational. Even if it is charity, it is not very dare to buy 950,000 items for more than 1.3 million. To put it simply, it is to feel sorry for money.
However, just when the beautiful auctioneer was about to call out the third round and let the auction be closed. I saw a handsome Russian guy sitting in the center of the front row, suddenly raised the No. 19 hand card in his hand, and said lightly to the stage, "10 million." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw only the top rich people sitting around, and the group of local tyrants sitting in the back position. Suddenly, one by one, they all showed astonishment and surprise!
The top rich people sitting around naturally knew who shouted the price just now. Although they can also take out 10 million US dollars, but buying a million-dollar antique desk lamp from the Tsarist era is ...... There are really some, not so high-minded......
And those local tyrants sitting in the back row, because they didn't pay attention, who raised their hands. I just heard the female auctioneer in front of the stage, with an extremely excited voice, said excitedly, "10 million US dollars! This handsome guy with the No. 19 brand, bid 10 million US dollars! 10 million US dollars for the first time!"
"$10 million for the second time!"
"$10 million for the third time!"
"Knock knock!
Fortunately, the auctioneer reacted quickly enough and was not frightened by Ma Wei's blockbuster offer and forgot to think. However, the group of local tyrants sitting behind Ma Wei are different. All of them were frightened by someone's generosity.
"What? The bidding price of 1.25 million US dollars, someone actually shouted 10 million directly? What kind of person is this? It's too inhumane, isn't it?" said a Moscow tycoon in surprise. There is no harm without comparison, and with comparison, we know the gap between the two sides. 10 million US dollars, smashed so easily, it really made the local tyrants feel the local tyrants.
"What happened just now? How did it go straight to the $10 million deal? Who is so rich? The one on the 19th is the chairman of the MA V Group, Ma Wei?"
It was the Russian youth who sat in the middle of the front row. It's just that everyone in the back row can only see the back of Ma Wei's head. Even the side is a little difficult.
Feeling the fiery gaze cast by the audience, Ma Wei, who pretended not to see it, sat at the table very calmly. It's as if these are all small operations, and they're just basic.
In fact, he originally wanted to bid $100 million. But considering this number, it is too scary for an antique table lamp. So in the end, I held back and underreported a zero. lest the atmosphere of the scene suddenly be quiet and make everyone very embarrassed......
Such a shocking bid naturally fell in the eyes of netizens in the live broadcast room. It's just that considering that the boss didn't want to appear on camera, the filming crew didn't pull the camera closer, so the 390,000 netizens who watched the live broadcast only knew that it was the No. 19 handsome guy who made the bid. A table with the Prince of Saudi Arabia and the Prince of Dubai.
"Oh my God, did the auction just now directly call 1.25 million to 10 million US dollars!? This charity is too scary! It's not inhumane, but it's hairy!"
"This Mr. 19 is probably Ma Wei himself, right? Who can shout 10 times the price of a $1 million charity lot, and it is estimated that only he and the Saudi prince will be the others. ”
"It's really awesome, I almost knelt down! This charity is simply earth-shattering, crying ghosts and gods, the anchor is big, please accept my knees! Although I just watched your live broadcast, I have been a fan of you!"
……
Ma Wei's $10 million photograph of an antique desk lamp from the Tsarist era was just the first step in his warm-up exercise. After that, he shouted tens of millions of dollars three times in a row and bought some small objects that looked pleasing to the eye.
This kind of boldness to spend money really amazes everyone. There's no way to surpass it......
In the end, Ma Wei spent $40 million at the charity gala. The customized mobile phone he donated and the platinum version of the Bugatti Veyron were sold by the princess of Jordan, the princess of Dubai, and the prince of Saudi Arabia at a price of 4.6 million, 4.55 million, and 25.5 million US dollars respectively.
