At 10 o'clock in the morning, all the guests arrived, and the door of the conference room closed.

At the auction table, Xi Yi walked up calmly and confidently wearing a black suit, an open-knee skirt, high heels, and light makeup.

She has learned a lot about auctions by herself in the past few days, and she is not a proper company anyway, so she personally became an auctioneer.

After seeing her on stage, more than a dozen groups of people below also stopped communicating, staring at the huge red curtain behind her, waiting quietly. They are participants in the auction, museums and collectors interested in buying the shipwreck of the Lina.

John Augustine, who arrived before the festival, and the old butler found a seat in the front, a little excited, thinking that there might be a shipwreck that he had been looking forward to day and night.

The mysterious old man in the huge hall sat at the back, he had no interest in the things in this auction, and looked at it with a calm face.

Su Chen, who was sitting next to the old man, nodded.

Understanding, Xi Yi 'Bang' knocked on the auction hammer to attract everyone's attention.

"Welcome, guests, today I am entrusted by the consignor, Mr. Su Chen, to preside over this auction.

This time, the pirate shipwreck salvaged in the Indian Ocean will be auctioned separately, as well as the gold coins, jewelry, art and other items on the wreck.

The Lena pirate ship is a pirate gang that has been active in African waters for a long time, and its leader is the rare female pirate Anne Linna.

Although not as famous as the famous female pirates Anne Bonnie and Mary Reid, in the African seas of the 60s and 70s of the last century, countless passing ships were feared.

According to the captain's logbook, the Lina sank into the Indian Ocean for unknown reasons on July 31, 1973. ”

Speaking of this, Xi Yi paused, looked at it lightly, and gave everyone time to react.

John, who was sitting in the front row, looked down and pondered, "Sinking for unknown reasons?" Strange things, strange things. ”

Bang~, tapping the auction hammer, Xi Yi said again.

"During the active period of the Lina, dozens of ransom ships were hijacked and ransom, and countless gold and silver treasures were intercepted, but unfortunately when salvaging the wreck, only seventeen iron boxes one meter square were found.

Excluding the international prohibition of trading, the auction items include a wrecked shipwreck, with a length of 45 meters and a beam of 7.8 meters.

In 1970, three boxes of Kruger gold coins of different specifications = 120,000 pounds = 150,000 pieces. ”

John's old butler below was slightly surprised, "120,000 pounds, it's really a lot." ”

John scoffed, "The Kruger Gold Coin is the most widely circulated standard gold coin in the world—more than 47 million pounds of gold coins have been sold around the world since 1970. ”

"So much." The old butler was surprised.

Xi Yi cleared his throat, "Pearl necklaces, rings, earrings, oil paintings, porcelain." ”

The remote control was pressed, and the red screen spread out, revealing a large projection screen inside, which was showing high-definition and exquisite pictures.

The jewels can be felt through the screen, but everyone frowns.

Old John muttered, "Not a shipwreck? ”

I thought the wreck was behind me, but now it's just some beautiful pictures, although they are more detailed than those on the promotional video, but I can't help but be a little disappointed.

Seeing that everyone shook their heads secretly, Xi Yi still didn't understand what he meant.

"The wreck was too large to move, so it was placed in a secret place so that only those who could take it can check it."

Suddenly.

Also, after all, it is extremely difficult to get such a big thing from the sea to the inland, so I figured it out.

After the slides were shown, various auction samples were also sent to the participants for their reference. Dozens of tons of exhibits can't be put on the stage.

Hu Lao, who was sitting in the back row, took the lot from Xu Chun's hand and played with it, but his eyes were not hot, "Xiaoyou is lucky." ”

"Where, where." Su Chen smiled politely.

After more than ten minutes, Xi Yi spoke: "First of all, auction three groups of Kruger gold coins, one group of 40,000 pounds, the starting price is 40 million soft girl coins, and each increase must not be less than 50,000." ”

There are four sizes of Kruger gold coins, 1 troy pound each, 0.5 pound pound, 0.25 pound pound, and 0.1 pound pound.

The shipwrecks were all 0.25 pounds or more, and the three groups were also randomly sorted at that time.

40 million = 40,000 pounds, an average of 1,000 soft girls per pound, much lower than the market price.

The people involved in the auction have also appraised the property before they came, and they know it in their hearts.

A blonde foreigner with a high nose held up a sign, "40.2 million." ”

As the world's five largest investment gold coins, the Kruger gold coin, although the circulation is huge, but the gold content of the same people is there.

Moreover, the gold coins perfectly sealed in the iron box are very well preserved, and they were issued in 1970, which is even more rare, and there is a lot of room for appreciation.

Old John is not here, but still holds up the card, "41 million." ”

The blonde man with a high nose turned his head to look, nodded and smiled, fair play.

Several people from a museum in Europe got together, discussed it, and then raised a sign, "41.5 million." ”

It is also a great option to have gold coins in a museum.

"42 million."

"42.5 million."

...

Bang~, Xi Yi knocked on the auction hammer, "This gentleman bid 47.25 million, is there anything higher." ”

The amount was immediately nearly half a billion, and she was also excited, using unfamiliar body language to face the person holding the card, mobilizing the atmosphere of the auction scene, and speaking quickly.

The only foreign lady in the audience, dressed gracefully and luxuriously, wearing heavy makeup, and holding up a sign lightly, "48 million." ”

Bang~," this lady bid 48 million. ”

In the end, the people who bid are basically the ones who really want to get it.

The elegant Chinese man, who has always been taciturn, held up his card, "48.5 million." "The price is out, and it is eye-catching.

Su Chen raised his eyebrows, he was a little impressed by this elegant man.

Unlike the luxury car bodyguards who accompanied him, he came alone and was very low-key.

Xi Yi held his breath, there was still a difference of 1.5 million to half a billion.

The previous blonde and high-nosed foreigner was unwilling and gritted his teeth, "48.7 million." "Any higher than the estimate would be.

The lady smiled faintly, "49 million." ”

Looking at his calm and confident expression, he obviously didn't care about the price.

The blonde foreigner just wanted to raise the price one last time, but the elegant Chinese man was one step ahead of him, "49.5 million." ”

"Whew~" The blonde man sighed and gave up the first group, as long as the gold coins of the 40,000 pounds of the division exceeded 50 million, they would have no value, unless they were put for a year or two.

The lady looked back, wondering who could add 500,000 at a time at this last moment.

I didn't increase the price after seeing the man, anyway, there are two groups behind.

There was silence in the audience.

This price is already the limit. Xi Yi was a little regretful that he couldn't pass 50 million.

"4950 for the first time."

"4950 for the second time, and there is no one to increase the price."

No one responded, Bang~," Congratulations to this gentleman for winning the first set of 40,000 pounds of gold Skruger coins. After three sounds, Xi Yi rang the hammer and announced that this elegant Chinese man won the first group.
