Chapter 212: A Gift to the Future Father-in-law
After seeing a few acquaintances, Zhang Tianyuan simply sat down, after all, it was his own jadeite that was going to be auctioned, although it was bought by several people, but he accounted for the lion's share, and the more he earned, the more he shared, so he naturally had to care about it.
Today's auction is not someone else, it is Li Mingguang, the president of the National University of Geosciences, originally in his capacity, it is unlikely to preside over this kind of auction, just because this jadeite is really rare, he also likes it very much, even if he can't afford it, but it's always good to have a good time, not to mention let ordinary people preside over the auction, and don't understand this, if someone below asks a question and doesn't know how to answer, then it's not cold?
Anyway, there aren't many jadeite, only seven pieces in total, so he doesn't have to be too tired.
"Today's auction, you don't have to be too formal, it's just a few pieces of jade for friends in the circle, and the old man will preside over it, no opinion, right?"
"How come, Professor Li, you are the first person in China to hold jade, you are presiding over this auction, and we can rest assured. Mu Yi hurriedly said.
The rest of the people also nodded yes, I am afraid that there is someone more suitable to be the host than Li Mingguang here.
"Okay, since we all agreed, then I'll introduce these jadeites first, I believe you are all experts, you can see, this is a good color of ice imperial green, the preciousness doesn't need to be said by the old man, the reserve price of fifty catties is 300 million, a price increase shall not be less than one million, a hundred catties of the reserve price of two billion, and the same price increase shall not be less than one million each time, so start bidding now......"
"Can I ask something, Professor Li?" Mu Yi interrupted Li Mingguang's words, which made Li Mingguang a little unhappy, but he was not angry. Today is also a festive day, and there is a live TV broadcast. He didn't want to be angry.
"Of course, ask. There are other people to ask, and it's best to ask all at once, rather than waiting for the auction to start. Li Mingguang said.
"Professor Li, didn't there still be a piece of more than 100 kilograms of old pit jadeite yesterday, why didn't you see it today?" asked Mu Yi.
"Yes, yes, we want to know. "A lot of people want to figure this out.
Hu Qiyi had already asked Zhang Tianyuan just now, so he was not interested in listening to this question, and said impatiently: "As far as you have a lot of questions, you can buy whatever is auctioned." If you don't like it, don't buy it, no one is forcing you to buy it. â
Li Mingguang smiled, and then replied: "I have to ask Mr. Shi this question, the thing is his, the old man doesn't dare to dispose of it lightly, it is billions of jade, even if the old man puts this more than 100 catties on it, he can't afford to pay it." â
Shi Lao Wang hugged his fists and said, "I'm sorry everyone, I forgot to say it." The previous piece of jadeite has been sold for six billion, so now if this piece of jadeite cannot be auctioned at a suitable price, we have the right to cancel the auction. This is not an official auction, so please remember that it should not be measured by the official auction rules. We only look at whether the price is suitable or not, and if it is suitable, we will sell it. If it's not suitable, forget it. â
His words didn't just answer those people's questions. And I also told these people one thing, you don't think that you can buy it at a low price without bidding, it's a big deal that we won't sell, because this is not an official auction, and we will not abide by any so-called rules.
"Okay, everyone knows it, the other piece has been sold at an astonishing sky-high price, so don't worry about it, it's better to care about these jadeites in front of you. Li Mingguang smiled and said: "Okay, now start bidding for the first piece, everyone can bid, but I have a Jianyi, these six pieces of fifty catties of jadeite are almost the same quality, even if there is a difference, it is very small, so if you buy it first, it must be cheap, but it may not be after that, you have to seize the opportunity." â
His words made many people nervous, even those old guys, in fact, understood in their hearts that what he said made sense, there were six yuan at the beginning, and in the end it became less and less, and naturally the price would rise.
So when Li Mingguang announced the start of the auction, there were soon bids.
"I'll pay 321 million!" It was Mu Yi who shouted the price, this guy is still jealous, why didn't he pay more money to buy that piece of wool in the first place, if he paid this price at that time, he would have made a fortune.
Many people have noticed that the price he gave is exactly the price of the Big Mac wool, and the helplessness and resentment are also obvious.
"Hahaha, mother boss, don't be so angry, as the saying goes, sometimes you have to have it in life, and you don't have to ask for it all the time, if you were ruthless and put out more money, I'm afraid you'll buy it, you didn't give so much, and it can only be said that there is no fate. I'll pay 330 million!" Wang Siyuan made a bid with a smile.
"No, what the hell are these two people doing, they said that they would increase the price by one million every time, why did they go directly to 10 million?"
"Young master, I'm willing, can you manage it?" Wang Siyuan heard someone discuss, and said disdainfully: "What, are you still afraid that I Wang Siyuan won't be able to support it? If you don't want to bid, forget it, then the jade will belong to me." â
"Yes, yes, that's right, Lao Tzu is also willing, I will pay 340 million, cool!" Mu Yi also shouted.
"These two people are really crazy, let's stop fighting with them, let's look at the next piece. Someone thought in their minds.
But at this moment, someone raised the price again: "400 million!"
It is Liu Mengxun's father, Liu Bin.
At this time, Mu Yi still wanted to raise the price again, but saw that Zhang Tianyuan didn't know when he slipped behind Li Mingguang, and knocked the small wooden hammer and said: "400 million is sold, uncle, this piece of jade is yours." â
"Damn, you kid are doing it?" Mu Yi scolded.
"Boss Mother, you are just an adult, isn't there five pieces in the back, plus the one hundred pounds, and six pieces, don't you even know? I have heard that Brother Zhang is pursuing the girl of the Liu family, and it is not too much to give a big gift to the future father-in-law." Wang Siyuan said with a smile.
Shi Lao Wang also said: "That's right, that's right, this is also human nature, but I promise that he won't do it again in the next few pieces." He also put some money in this wool, and he made his own decisions about this piece. No problem, right?"
When Mu Yi heard this, she couldn't say anything more. He didn't want to offend Zhang Tianyuan, nor did he want to offend Shi Laowang, and he didn't want to offend Liu Bin, and the most important thing was that none of the people around him spoke for him.
"If you have it, then forget about the first piece, but Brother Zhang. Don't mess around, you can't do that. Mu Yi said.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't hold it when I was excited, I won't be able to do it below, absolutely not. Zhang Tianyuan smiled, but said secretly in his heart: "I said that this is not an auction, I borrowed flowers to offer Buddha, but also for the happiness of my life, and besides, this jade is actually not cheap for 400 million." â
That being said. But this is an auction after all, Liu Bin is very happy about Zhang Tianyuan's approach, not to mention whether it is done right, at least this intention is good.
Liu Bin secretly gave Zhang Tianyuan a thumbs up.
And at the same time. In the United States on the other side of the ocean, Mu Ying was laughing, and Liu Mengxun on the side was flushed. In front of them was a computer with a live stream of the auction.
"Hahaha. Mengxun, Mengxun, look at my old classmate. It's interesting enough, I haven't married you yet, and I'm starting to honor my future father-in-law, hahaha, I'm laughing to death, you look at the appearance of that mother, I'm so angry that I'm choked. â
"Okay, don't laugh, I'll beat you if you laugh again. Liu Mengxun said this, but his heart was as sweet as if he had eaten the sweetest watermelon in summer, and it was directly sweet to the bottom of his heart, what else could a man say to himself?
The two girls rolled together, and the "fight" was inseparable.
Liu Bin paid the money on the spot, as for the jadeite, he could take it away when the auction ended, of course, he could take it away now, but it seemed that Liu Bin was still unsatisfied, and he wanted to continue to participate in this interesting auction.
"Okay, you guys haven't had a good time, I see that many people haven't had time to bid yet, so let's start bidding on the second piece, the reserve price is still 300 million, start!"
As soon as Li Mingguang's words fell, he heard Mu Yi speak directly: "Four hundred million!"
"Muyi, you're sick, and you raised the price to 400 million all of a sudden, and your brain is in water, right?" Finally, someone couldn't help but scold.
Mu Yi glanced at this person with disdain and said, "If you have the ability, you can bid, don't chirp crookedly like a resentful woman." â
Maybe it's because 400 million is too high, and no one is willing to bid for a long time.
Li Mingguang smiled and said: "Since the mother boss has made 400 million, then I will start counting three times, if no one is willing to increase the price, then this is his, and the remaining fifty catties of jadeite are only four." â
"I'll give 410 million!" Wang Siyuan waited for Li Mingguang to finish speaking, and then said slowly.
"420 million!" Guan Ying also bid coldly at this time, this time at the Yancheng Gambling Stone Fair, his three apprentices all suffered misfortune, the little apprentice Jia Zhengjing was hospitalized by the big apprentice because of the atmosphere and is still in a coma, the big apprentice Guan Zhenyu was imprisoned in the detention center because he was stimulated too much, coupled with deliberately hurting people, and the second apprentice Hua Shi was also detained for buying murder, but at this time, he couldn't see any discomfort, as if nothing had happened.
"Forty-two and five million!" Mu Yi shouted again.
"Four hundred and thirty million!" Guan Ying still shouted coldly.
"Four hundred and thirty-five million!" Mu Yi followed.
"Four hundred and forty million!" Guan Ying continued.
The two of them seem to be more energetic, and they forget about the other people around them.
"I'll give 500 million!" a person Zhang Tianyuan didn't know finally couldn't sit still, stood up and shouted.
500 million, which is basically the top price of this piece of jadeite, and there is basically not much money to be made further up, so Guan Ying and Mu Yi glanced at each other and gave up.
"Okay, 500 million once, 500 million twice, 500 million 3 times! Li Mingguang said with a smile.
When the man got up, he glanced at Liu Hao intentionally or unintentionally.
Liu Hao nodded at the man, which was a response.
"Is that the person you invited?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"Yes, it's not appropriate for me to go to the auction, after all, I am also the owner of this jadeite. Liu Hao explained.
"Well, that makes sense, but does he have the money to pay the bill?" asked Zhang Tianyuan.
"No, but isn't Li Xiao in charge of clearing the accounts? I've already greeted him, my money is outside, and I can't get in now." Liu Hao replied.
"Li Xiao is bold enough, he dares to promise you?"
"Then what's not to dare, his family and my family's family property combined, can barely make up 500 million, it's really not good, let's scrape together the money to pay you back." Liu Hao said with a smile.
"Okay, no kidding, did you send the money directly into his account?"
"That's not true, I told him that when you check out, you will bank online, and someone will call money outside, if not, you don't have to settle the bill, so there is no zĂ i risk." Liu Hao said with a smile. (To be continued......)
