Chapter 359 [The Birth of a Billionaire (One Update)]

(At five o'clock in the morning, I was in high spirits, swollen and broken~~ Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a subscription!)

……

Finally, at the last moment, McBargh sang for a night, and by this time his voice could have been even more passionate, "Ladies and gentlemen, the last auction of this auction will be held, and I will first introduce the treasure items of this auction. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"This is all the treasures of a great pirate who once commanded the Caribbean—"

"One winter at the end of the 17th century, the greatest setback of his life was a nobleman named Eric Watt Barbossa, who was an aristocrat and a dwarf, who had been bullied since childhood, but who was exceptionally intelligent and studious......"

A set of videos appeared on the big screen, and it was Chen Ergou flipping through the contents of the two golden books.

A legendary story that has been hidden for hundreds of years will be slowly told.

"After the death of Barbossa the Elder, he was endlessly stripped of his titles and fiefs. With no way out, Barbossa decided to go out to sea and become a pirate, a decision that led him to the best of his life......"

Through Mike's mouth, a singing and weeping story of the sea is told, adding to the mystery of this treasure.

Look at the screen: the Barbossa is one of the most legendary sailing ships in history, and the Spanish galleon has a legendary history, more than 500 years old, but still able to sail the seas unhindered. Once a warship of the French fleet and the flagship of a pirate leader, it has endured numerous battles and has enjoyed a remarkable reputation in the Caribbean for some time. ”

"And the most rare thing is that the cannons, masts and even wine barrels on this galleon are quite well preserved, and it is very valuable for research and collection. Many collectors of ancient ships in the audience were already excited, but thinking that this was only a part of the great treasure, they could only stare dryly.

"Inside the ship, there are also art paintings from France, gold and silver coins from Spain, gold and diamonds from Africa. Gemstones and pearls from South America...... Each item hides some kind of story. These stories have grown more mellow over the years, and their contents are imprinted in a treasure trove, perhaps a family heirloom, or a rare treasure. ”

"Gold never deserves!"

"No one can resist their temptation, no matter who their former owners are, they will add their feelings to these treasures because of this irresistible temptation, and manifest themselves in ordinary and trivial life, perhaps from a casual wipe will condense into the traces of history!"

"And now, after hundreds of years of sleep, they are finally coming to a new owner. ”

Groups of videos were played, more than ten tons of gold and silver treasures, huge gold. It is also divided into gold and silver coins, gold and silver hollow lamps, silver tableware, fine porcelain, precious stones, armor, jewelry, necklaces, diamond-encrusted crowns, gold statues, art treasures, antique daily necessities and so on!

"The reserve price for this treasure auction is $260 million. ”

“…… Each increase cannot be less than $500,000, so now I invite you to place your bids. ”

The starting price for this treasure is set at $260 million, which is actually a very low price.

Regardless of the price of the treasure, the price of gold alone makes it extremely attractive.

Originally, the price of the item may exceed 300 million, but after drawing out many treasures, there are also art treasures that have been warmed up by a separate auction in the early stage, so that the price of the final finale treasure will be reduced.

Rao is like this, and the value of this treasure is still evaluated by professional appraisal companies between 280 million and 300 million.

Whether the seller, whether it is a museum or an investment institution, the individual collector will refer to the appraisal price given by the appraisal company according to his actual situation, and measure the highest auction price they can accept in his heart.

Beyond this guy, there will be hesitation.

In the end, whether he had no choice but to give up, or gritted his teeth and followed up, it was also a thought.

Sotheby's, on the other hand, will also gather information from potential buyers to analyze which lots will be more sought after. Estimate a reasonable auction price on your own so that the auctioneer can get the best value possible during the auction process.

The reason why this low price is set is also to mobilize the bidders' enthusiasm for the auction, give the participants the temptation to make a lot of money, and finally participate in the auction game.

In this way, it can also ensure that the client Chen Ergou can obtain benefits to the greatest extent and will not be auctioned. After all, this is also a record-breaking single auction item received by Sotheby's.

McBarger shouted from the stage, "260 million, 260 million dollars, there's no bidding." The world's only huge pirate treasure is alive, with an appraised value of more than 300 million, and now the reserve price is only 260 million US dollars. ”

After dozens of seconds of silence in the audience, they were suffocated like death, and despite the mobilization of McBag's atmosphere on the stage, they only exchanged heads and ears and kept discussing, and no one raised their cards.

Chen Ergou was also very surprised, this kind of price was not even a bargain?

This is real gold!

Just when Chen Ergou was in a nervous mood, a voice finally broke the silence of the audience.

"261 million. Juan Fernández was the first to raise a sign in the Royal Spanish Museum, and they wanted to bring the Spanish galleon, along with a huge amount of Spanish gold and silver coins, all back home.

Pay tribute to the martyrs who died on the sea, and give an account to the people.

However, this call can be regarded as completely igniting the enthusiasm of the auction house tonight.

"262 million! This gentleman is bidding 262 million dollars, and there is no higher bid. ”

"263 million... 264 million... 265 million... 268 million... 269 million ......"

"270 million!" a high-pitched voice from the representative of the Louvre Museum in France.

"The lady bid 270 million, and there is no higher price. ”

"Whew~~" Several models couldn't help but pat their chests, it was too intense. "Is it true that so many dollars are just numbers in their eyes?"

"Who will end up with the huge pirate treasure, and will anyone pay a higher price?"

McBarger used all his strength, using body language and infectious tone to push the atmosphere to a climax. He knew that the amount of this auction would definitely write a strong mark in the history of Sotheby's and even the world's auctions, and he, as the chief auctioneer of this grand auction, would also follow him to the top.

However, no one expected that the last auction would last much longer than expected.

At 280 million, it was suffocated for more than a minute again, and this price was naturally not at the psychological price.

But if the hammer is dropped now, it can also be dropped, but the price of the item is not auctioned. He also used words to delay the auction so that it would not be embarrassing. Just when McBarger was in a stalemate, and was about to strike the hammer, someone finally raised his card again.

"281 million~!"

is the British Museum in London, a new contender.

The Spaniards and the French, who had already "fought" in the middle of the fight, turned their heads to the Londoners in unison.

A new round of bidding began, and every time the sign was raised, it drew shouts from McBarger one after another.

A huge amount of money was shouted out, which made the guests stunned.

When the amount uncontrollably climbed to 290 million again, the auction stalled again. This time the stagnation was more than forty seconds, and McBargh was satisfied, 290 million was within the range of his heart, and he thought that when the dust settled, the hammer would fall.

I didn't expect to dramatically join a new force again, and when I saw the group of Dubai visitors wearing white scarves and hats, several groups of people competing were shocked, "What are these Middle Easterners going to do?"

Again and again, the total price is climbing bit by bit, time slowly passes, and finally the amount of that apex is about to be touched.

"$300 million!"

Juan Fernández held up the sign in the Royal Spanish Museum, and even stood up and shouted loudly, looking like he was in the bottom of his mouth, full of attack power, and he was bound to win.

His purpose is clear, that is, to keep other competitors at bay and show that he is bound to win.

The price of 300 million yuan, which is already the limit of the value of this treasure, is infinitely close to the bottom line of the buyer's psychological tolerance.

It's a pity that the Spanish museums are still not very courageous, and if they dare to shout 10 million more when there is 280 million, they may have won a long time ago. Now this little bit is added to the price here, but it can't suppress the rich and powerful Middle Easterners, "301 million dollars." ”

"Poof~"

Juan couldn't wait for a mouthful of old blood to spurt out, and sat down on the chair.

"Do you want to increase the price?" the assistant asked him.

The Middle Easterners were too ruthless, and this hand directly grabbed the focus of the audience.

Juan gritted his teeth in his heart, he had already increased the price to this one, how could he be willing to fight anymore, he had no choice but to continue to raise his cards.

The price has risen again, and it is really a twist and turn.

Even if the audience is watching the play, they feel that this is a wonderful drama. Many people are silent, and many more are envious. Now it's the stage for these guys, and all the visitors are enjoying their performances.

Juan quickly consulted with his companions, and someone proposed: "If you boil a frog in warm water like this, you will definitely not be able to overwhelm your opponent, so you can just blow out the bottom price in your heart and see if the Middle Easterners continue to follow?"

Juan agreed, they had to bring the treasure back, but if they didn't bring it back in the end, they wouldn't blame him, "$310 million, $310 million!"

Juan, with a determined posture, stood up again to steal the showman's limelight.

This situation seems familiar, didn't you just shout it just now?

It has been declining again and again, but this time it is not as imposing as last time. I couldn't hold off my opponent last time, can it still work this time?

The scene was silent for a few seconds, everyone was whispering and discussing, and many people were still gasping, with irrepressible envy in their eyes. When Juan saw this posture, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and was the dust about to settle.

However, at this moment, a slow voice suddenly sounded, "315 million US dollars!"

The Middle Easterners have raised their cards again.

Juan sat down decadently, "Failed." ”

McBarg knew that he was finally reaching his limit, and his voice, which had been high-pitched all night, was inevitably hoarse, and at the last moment there was a broken sound. But no one laughed at him, and everyone was shocked by this set of numbers.

"$315 million, one time!"

"$315 million, second! Is there anything else to ask for?"

"$315 million, three times, sold!"

"Bang~!Bang~!Bang~!" The auction gavel slammed down on the case three times, announcing that Maktoum Ahmed from Dubai's Emirates Investment Group had won the Barbosa Treasure!

"Bang Bang Bang~~"

The auction, which lasted for more than an hour, finally ended.

There was a warm applause from the audience, which was a congratulatory gesture for buying. $315 million, plus $185 million from previous auctions, for a total of $500 million tonight.

It directly set a record for the annual auction transaction, and at the same time, the last treasure is also the largest single product price in history.

At this moment, even Principal Wang, who was in the audience, couldn't help but be jealous of Chen Ergou's come, a real step to the sky!

"Ladies and gentlemen, this special auction has come to a successful conclusion. The consignor of the auction, the adventurer Mr. Hero-Chen, has set up a dinner party in the lobby on the third floor of the hotel to welcome everyone. ”

The music sounded, and countless people were still unsatisfied and walked to the third floor.

It was so tight just now, they urgently needed to relax and unwind, not to mention that this was a party hosted by the client.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, new billionaire!"

"Thank you, and congratulations to you, Mr. Maktoum, this treasure is worth it. Chen Ergou said, "May I ask, what will you do with this treasure?"

Maktoum Ahmed said with a smile: "This is the investment company of His Royal Highness the Prince, which will be included in the Emirates Museum in Dubai and will be admired by the whole country and even the world's tourists. If so, when the museum opens, we would like to invite you, who have discovered the treasures, to be there and witness it yourself?"

"No problem!" Chen Ergou agreed, there was no better ending than this.
