Chapter 379 [Visiting San Francisco]
San Francisco is the territory of the Hans family, and Yang Yong is an important guest and a good brother of the Hans, so of course he should have a good time when he comes to San Francisco for the first time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info So in the next two days, Hans took Yang Yong to play around, and the more famous attractions in San Francisco left two people to play, and even watched a Golden State Warriors vs. Spurs game.
Two days later, Smith, who was far away at Anna Castle to supervise the project, came to San Francisco to meet Yang Yong, and after dinner at 5 o'clock in the afternoon on the third day, Yang Yong dressed up and sat in the same Mercedes-Benz car with Hans, and drove for more than half an hour to a more famous wine auction in the city center.
Although Yang Yong did not sign up for this auction, there was no problem with the energy of the Hans family to get Yang Yong an admission ticket. The numbers of the two people were connected, one was 36 and the other was 37, Yang Yong chose the auspicious number 36, and 37 was lost to the reluctant Hans.
There were still more than two hours before the auction began, and the early arrivals began to take the champagne from the waiter, shuttling through the crowd, looking for their familiar friends to chat, of course, Hans's family is the top spot in San Francisco, and the big names are friends everywhere they go.
It's just that everyone is more surprised today that Hans, who is usually taciturn and rejective, is actually followed by a young Asian American, and the two of them talk and laugh like an old friend, joking with each other.
All the big faces in San Francisco began to ask each other who this young Asian was and who had the energy to stand with Hans and laugh at this wine auction.
But no matter how much people asked each other to verify each other, they didn't get the answers they wanted, and they couldn't figure out who this young Asian was who they were, which family, and what they were doing.
But it is not for nothing that anyone can make a name for himself in the cannibalistic society of San Francisco, although everyone can't figure out where Yang Yong came from, but when greeting Hans, they expressed their affection for Yang Yong.
In this regard, Yang Yong felt that the people in the upper class of San Francisco were still relatively cultivated, at least they did not speak ill of themselves, an outsider, and excluded themselves for no reason. All Yang Yong who showed favor to himself was smiling, and there was no need to offend these upper-class people for no reason.
I can't say when I can become friends, Yang Yong is not a dog biting people, but there is no bottom line to provoke Yang Yong Yang Yong is still relatively easy to get along with, after all, he got up from the bottom of the society and knows that life is not easy, so Yang Yong is usually very talkative and a very good person.
Everyone wandered around chatting and drinking and didn't want to say hello, but the time for talking and laughing passed quickly, and it was about to come to the start time of the famous wine auction, so everyone slowly returned to their positions.
Yang Yong's position is in the middle of the second row, and Hans is on the side, which is a prime location, and it is also the best location for the admission ticket that Yang Yong got with the ability of the Hans family, otherwise how can it reflect the ability of the Hans family.
Just after all the people who participated in the auction at the scene were quiet, the auction of famous wine officially began, what Yang Yong didn't expect was that the auctioneer was actually a tall blonde beauty, very temperamental, very charming, but Yang Yong was a person with a wife and children, just looked at this female auctioneer with a man's appreciative gaze, and he didn't have any other thoughts.
Most of the opening remarks are the same, and this wine auction is divided into two halves, each one for one hour, and the first half is auctioned off some of the best red wines. For example, the Champagne region of Bordeaux, Italy, Spain, and even as far away as Australia, or Peru in South America, are all involved.
Although it is a famous wine auction, but the hundred years of good wine is still relatively rare, most of them are from 1950 to the present red wine more, and the number of auctions is relatively large, every ten cases of red wine only one bidding unit, the starting price will not exceed about 50,000 yuan.
Yang Yong is not very interested in this, Yang Yong is interested in those hundred-year-old wine kings, each bottle will exceed about 100,000 US dollars, which is Yang Yong's most important red wine and favorite variety. For the half-hour bidding, Yang Yong did not hold up his number plate, but just looked around to see at what price those bidders had auctioned off their favorite precious red wines.
Yang Yong's eyes wandered around casually to see how some bidders bought red wine, but his ears were always on the auctioneer's voice, and he didn't let go of any of the red wines he was interested in.
Yang Yong started in auctions, and he has participated in countless auctions, what kind of auctions have he never seen? Now he has formed a natural instinctive reaction, his eyes are looking around, and his ears are listening carefully, which is the quality that he should have when participating in an auction.
Yang Yong's hand is coming, so don't look at Yang Yong's lack of concentration, but his ears always listen to the information he wants, or the precious red wine that Yang Yong is interested in finally appeared in the final stage of the half.
Encountering something he was interested in, Yang Yong's attention was all focused on the beauty next to him, and he heard the beautiful auctioneer say with a smile. Lot 48, from the Bordeaux region, Château Cheval Cheval 1840 red wine has reached more than 100 years, it is a very rare wine, five cases for a standard, the first auction price is 250,000 yuan, and the bidding will start below. ”
Château Cheval Blanc's 1840 wine is a very good wine and can be called the king of wine, and Chagera Cheval is one of the eight major red wine wineries, although it is not as famous as the famous wineries such as La Firatour. However, the quality of the red wine of Cheval Blanc has always been a classic variety, and it is worth Yang Yong's investment.
What's more, five cases of sixty bottles of red wine, the starting price of only 250,000 US dollars is very cheap, so Yang Yong's interest came, and he first observed other competitors bidding for this red wine. Yang Yong will choose to play last, which is also a common method, first kick out all these troubles, and finally there are three or five competitors left who really want to buy red wine, Yang Yong is just waiting for the last wave of competitors and then shooting.
After a five-minute battle, five cases of wine had been sold to $350,000, an average price of $70,000 for a case of wine, and more than $6,000 per bottle, which was already approaching its actual price. At this time, Yang Yong chose to make a move, and Yang Yong shot very decisively, it can be said that he was domineering, and he raised the No. 36 auction card with a smile and said softly.
"$400,000"
As soon as Yang Yong made a move, it exceeded the bidding price by 50,000 US dollars, and it was also the auction with the largest price difference, and the beautiful auctioneer saw that Yang Yong's hand was as high as 50,000 yuan, and her eyes lit up and pointed at Yang Yong with a smile.
"Bidder No. 36, bid $400,000, is there a higher price than $400,000. (To be continued.) )
