Chapter 350: It's Not Scientific
Before Ramsey could finish speaking, someone on the field raised his brand and called for it!
The starting price of 4 million was directly raised by 1 million euros to 5 million euros, which made everyone feel slightly surprised, and many people turned their heads to look at the bidder. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Yuris is no exception, after all, curiosity knows no nationality or age.
The bidder was a man with sunglasses, his sunglasses were exaggerated, almost covering half of his face, but at first glance, he had yellow skin and black hair, which proved that he was an Asian, and an East Asian face, and he didn't speak French well, and he had a strong accent.
Yuris frowned, France is really becoming more and more open, and any cat or dog dares to run to France to spread wild!
He was about to quote a new price when an Arab with a turban preemptively offered it.
"6 million euros!"
There was a burst of exclamations from everyone, in less than ten seconds, the price of this thing has increased by 50%, this speed cannot be regarded as fast, but considering the reserve price of this thing, such an increase speed is also very rare.
"Hmph, is it great to have oil? 7 million euros!"
Uuris looks down on these nouveau riche in the Middle East the most, they took advantage of the opportunity of the sharp rise in international oil prices, and made a lot of money, but after they had money, they didn't build their own country well, and went to Europe to buy the bottom, it is said that over in London, the whole street was bought short by them!
France is no better, and they have bought a lot of things from Paris.
And for natives like Yuris, they are quite repulsive to outsiders, and this rejection is reflected in all aspects, at this time, even in the auction house, knowing that such competition is disadvantageous for him, he does not want to show weakness.
When Yuris's price was quoted, the crowd fell silent.
If the previous starting price gave them a little thought, now, when the price has soared to 7 million euros, they have no chance at all.
Many people can only sigh and sigh, who says that they don't have such strong financial resources?
The Asian with sunglasses who first bid was obviously a little shaken, and the price soared to 7 million all of a sudden, did he continue to bid or wait and see for a while or give up?
This kind of mahogany market is now very rare, it is really money can't buy it, and he still has enough money to buy the thing he wants, if he wastes too much money on this mahogany at this time, then the thing he really wants may not be able to buy.
After much hesitation, he decided to give up.
The man in sunglasses didn't say anything, and neither did anyone else on the field, so there were only two bidders left!
The Arab wearing the turban glanced at Yuris expressionlessly, smiled slightly, and nodded, this move was not like a demonstration, but like a greeting, but after the greeting, he quoted a price that made Lin Quan a little suffocated!
"10 million euros, we want five!"
There was an uproar at the scene, the unit price of 10 million, that also means that they will spend 50 million euros on five rosewoods!
That's 50 million euros! The unit price of 10 million for a piece of mahogany is just a record for the price of mahogany, right?
In fact, this price is not the most expensive, in 2013, at a furniture exhibition in Xianghai, China, there is a set of furniture worth 260 million yuan on display, which is the most expensive set of furniture in the world, a total of 11 pieces of furniture, almost 8 tons of wood are used, all of which are good huanghuali, so according to the unit price, the price per ton is at least 3 million euros!
And Lin Quan took out the auction of this kind of small-leaved red sandalwood, which belongs to the most expensive kind of mahogany, its number is very rare, plus these mahogany have a thick diameter, good texture, and it is a rare 2000-year-old mahogany, so the price is normal within 30 million euros, which is only 10 million euros, and it is far from the ceiling!
"Did I hear me wrong, someone is going to pay 50 million euros for a few logs, so how much is our remaining 13 pieces of wood worth?"
Denise wondered if she was dreaming, and the way she did it was simple and rude, that is, she pinched Lin Quan's arm fiercely.
Lin Quan's tears of pain fell, and there were still a lot of human nerve cells distributed on the skin, such a powerful stimulation made his neurotransmitters instantly transmit pain to the brain, and then the first reaction of the brain was actually tears......
"It's definitely not going to be that expensive!"
Lin Quan rubbed his arm, looked at Denise with a puzzled face, and said: "Rare is expensive, they don't know that we have other mahogany in our hands, thinking that these are out of print, and they can monopolize them if they buy them, so they will compete for it at all costs, and our next batch of mahogany will definitely dilute this value after joining the market, and the price will naturally not be so high at that time!"
Although it can't be so high, it won't be so low, after all, this thing is not a cheap cabbage, and a dozen or so join the market, and it is not easy to make big waves.
Arab merchants were very shrewd, because of their geographical location, the Middle East is the center of the intersection of East and West, so they have been good at business for generations, so they have developed a very strong business acumen.
Moreover, this time, they did not plan to sell the mahogany when they bought it back, and Prince Mansour planned to add some ultra-high-end furniture to his eight-star hotel in Abu Dhabi, the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel, in order to press the name of Burj Al Arab in Dubai.
Although the Abu Dhabi Palace Hotel is the only eight-star hotel in the world (complain, I don't know who rated it), their name is not as loud as the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, the sworn enemy of the country, and when it comes to the United Arab Emirates, the first thing that comes to everyone's mind is Dubai, not Abu Dhabi, and even most people don't know that the capital of the UAE is in Abu Dhabi and not in Dubai!
A place that is obviously the capital is not as famous as another city in the country?
How can a place that is the only eight-star hotel in the world be as famous as a seven-star hotel on the other side?
And this kind of thing is indispensable to publicity, since it is to be publicized, the news media is indispensable, after all, everyone knows the effect of publicity. Instead of giving publicity money to the news media, it is better to do something big yourself to attract the active attention of the news media.
So they bought Manchester City, and they won the Premier League, but that wasn't enough, and the Abu Dhabi consortium became famous, but his hotel wasn't well advertised!
So this time, buying these mahogany at a super high price, and then announcing that they would make these mahogany into furniture for seven-star hotels, is also a way for them to publicize, buy such an expensive thing and take it back to use it for their own use but for the hotel, which must be able to create a very sensational news, right?
Even if it's not serious news, it can attract a lot of attention as strange news, and news is often more impressive than advertising, so this is accounting for them.
As long as they can get the word out, everyone will know that there is an eight-star hotel in Abu Dhabi that is more exclusive than the Burj Al Arab in Dubai!
So, for this batch of mahogany, he is bound to win!
