Chapter 333: Auction
"I don't know the specific situation, after all, I'm just one of the co-organizers, I don't know a lot of insiders, about that Princess Ianna, there is only so much I can tell you, the reason why she appeared at this feast is indeed the order of the United States government." Gong Yuexing said.
Su Xinyuan fell into deep thought, he knew that Qiu Shaojun's base camp was the northern capital, which was the political center of the East, and the Qiu family was inextricably linked with the core power level of the Eastern Government.
A small princess of a Pacific island tribe has connected two world powers, the East and the West, at the same time, what kind of shocking secrets does she have on her shoulders? It deserves so much attention from two countries.
"Su Xinyuan, don't forget what your purpose is this time, a lot of things are happening every day in this world, and there are a lot of curious things, do you want to find out the truth about everything?" Gong Yuexing said.
"Well, I see, I'm going to have an auction tomorrow, and I want you to be able to join in." Su Xinyuan said. He knew that Gong Yuexing was kindly reminding himself that some things didn't need to be answered to the bottom of the matter, and if they went too deep, it was very likely to bring trouble to themselves.
Of course, Su Xinyuanzha is also very self-aware, about the mysterious Princess Ianna, it is a matter of the national level, and it is not something that his small personal power can interfere with.
So he didn't delve into the matter of Princess Ianna, as Gong Yuexing said, tomorrow's auction is the focus of his attention.
After sending Gong Yuexing back to his residence, Su Xinyuan returned to the hotel and listened to the report of his subordinates on the planning of the auction, and everything went very smoothly.
The next day, the long-awaited auction was officially opened in the auditorium of the Grand Hotel in Perth.
Every edition of the Fuso Flower Feast auction is the highlight of the project, just as there is never a shortage of beautiful women at the auto show, and there is no project more powerful than an auction to show their strong financial resources in this feast where the world's top richest people gather. Moreover, the next treasures that will never be known at auction also attract them to yearn for them.
The auction, which opened at 9 a.m. that day, was already full before it officially began.
Su Xinyuan and his group sat in the ordinary audience, in addition to seeing Gong Yuexing in the VIP seat, he also saw Qiu Shaojun again, but this time there was a brown-skinned girl about fifteen years old next to him, Qiu Shaojun always watched the girl's surroundings vigilantly, it seemed that it was Princess Ianna.
Unexpectedly, the mysterious Princess Ianna's first public appearance on the island turned out to be at her own auction, which suddenly made Su Xinyuan feel slightly flattered.
"His grandmother's, why is that bastard here again!" Wang Fatzi scolded in a low voice.
Su Xinyuan looked in his direction and saw that Joseph was sitting not far from them, and he was looking in this direction with a provocative gaze. It seems that the last time he suffered such a big loss in public, he didn't let him learn to be obedient, I don't know what calculations he had in mind at this time.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to our auction organized by Furbig and Fishman Offshore Exploration, this time on the theme of 'Years Under the Sea'. In this auction, we will auction carefully selected treasures of shipwrecks under the sea, and we hope that everyone will bid enthusiastically. Lacey walked up to the stage and made an opening remarks, and the auction began.
He is not only an executive of Furbigs, but also an experienced auctioneer.
A graceful young lady slowly walked to the auction table with the first collection in her hand and put it down.
"This is our first lot of the day." As he spoke, Lacey lifted the white scarf that covered it, and in the square glass bottle, a Persian scimitar studded with precious stones appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"This is a beautiful Persian scimitar, inlaid with a variety of precious cat's eyes, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, diamonds and other precious stones, the scabbard is made of gold and perkin as the main raw materials, fully embodies the luxury of the ancient Persian Empire, and its blade forging level is very high, almost representing the highest level of the entire Middle Ages, even if it has been sleeping in the water for a hundred years, it is still as sharp as ever, without a trace of rust at all." Lacey is in a steady stream of introductions.
Almost all the guests' eyes were drawn to this exquisite Persian scimitar, especially Prince Harry, who was in the VIP seat, and his eyes were full of hot gaze.
It seems that gold gemstones have a special attraction for Middle Easterners, and in their fairy tales of the Thousand and One Nights, there is always a lot of content about gold and gemstones. What's more, it is still named after the ancient Persian Empire.
"The starting price is $2 million!"
"Two and a half million!"
"Three million!"
……
"Nine million!"
The enthusiasm of the guests was very high, and Reis had just announced the bidding price, and the bidding was heard one after another, and the price was quickly raised to nearly five times.
Looking at the soaring numbers, the faces of Su Xinyuan and his party were both nervous and excited.
"I'll give fifteen million!" Middle Eastern tyrant Harry lit up the sign in his hand.
"Fifteen million three times, deal!" Lacey struck the hammer in his hand.
The first collection alone sold for a high price of 15 million US dollars, which can be regarded as nearly 100 million when converted, and Su Xinyuan has taken another step closer to his goal of 10 billion.
Then several pieces of the collection were auctioned in a row, and most of them were within the estimate, and in the fierce auction, two hours passed by in a snap of a finger. Judging from the figures recorded in Bai Linlin's notebook, the auction was halfway through, and a total of nearly $200 million was auctioned.
This was basically what Su Xinyuan expected, this auction was just a brick and jade, and the items that were publicly auctioned were only one-third of what he salvaged. He only needs to use this auction to make the name of the Fishman Kanbao Company among these rich people, and he does not have to worry about having no business to take the initiative to come to the door.
Prince Harry contributed the most of the $200 million, and Gong Yuexing also auctioned a few, but the mysterious Princess Ianna, in the middle of the auction, left the venue with Qiu Shaojun and did not take away any of the collections.
And Joseph, the other person that Su Xinyuan was concerned about, he never made a move, but he kept watching every move here with a fierce gaze. His strange behavior made Su Xinyuan thoughtful.
"Fine oriental porcelain from the Maritime Silk Road, blue and white porcelain plates that have remained as lustrous as they have been sleeping underwater for a hundred years, have a starting price of one million dollars!" Reis unveiled a new collection.
"One and a half million." Su Xinyuan raised his card for the first time.
"Five million!" Joseph also immediately raised his card, and at the same time gave Su Xinyuan a disdainful look.
Sure enough, just like Su Xinyuan thought, Joseph didn't make a move, just to wait for himself, he was completely fighting with himself, and the face he lost at the opening banquet yesterday wanted to get it back at today's auction.
"Ten million!" Su Xinyuan raised the card in his hand again.
The unusual bidding of the two immediately attracted the attention of the guests on the field, and now everyone could see that Su Xinyuan and Joseph were secretly competing, so they simply withdrew from the competition for this lot.
"Twenty million!" Joseph directly doubled the price, and at the same time looked at Su Xinyuan with provocative eyes, in his opinion, it was impossible for Su Xinyuan to continue to follow.
"Thirty million!" Su Xinyuan unhurriedly raised his sign and reported the number.
Not only Joseph, but the guests all looked at Su Xinyuan in surprise, spending 30 million US dollars for a small vase, this man was simply crazy.
"Mr. Su, we don't have to fight with that guy for this breath, right?" Shen Lao was also a little unable to sit still, he whispered beside Su Xinyuan.
"It's okay, I have my own plans, even if I take a photo, don't I only need to pay a 5% handling fee?" Su Xinyuan said with a smile.
"Thirty million once...... Thirty million twice ......," Reis shouted from the auction stand.
Now Joseph's face was not as proud as just now, he originally wanted to crush Su Xinyuan to death, but he didn't expect to be crushed to death by Su Xinyuan instead, 30 million US dollars to buy this broken bottle, that guy is really willing!
Looking at the complacent Su Xinyuan, Joseph hated it so much, he didn't believe that he would always lose to that man when he didn't turn the tables!
"Forty million!" Joseph shouted out his number, and Joseph's face began to change subtly.
"Fifty million!" Su Xinyuan immediately followed calmly.
There was an exclamation from the audience, and everyone looked at Su Xinyuan in shock, and then exchanged their heads with each other, whispering something.
Although all the world's richest people are present, no one has ever seen such a spending!
"Sixty million!" Joseph was already riding a tiger, he didn't want to lose to Su Xinyuan in front of this crowd again, sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and his voice was already a little trembling.
"Seventy million!" Su Xinyuan raised his card calmly again.
"Eighty million!" Joseph closed his eyes in despair and shouted out the number with difficulty. He didn't dare to look at Su Xinyuan's calm face anymore, he just prayed in his heart, God, please let him stop shouting!
"Ninety million!" Su Xinyuan once again slowly raised his card in the surprised eyes of everyone.
"Damn! I'll give 100 million! "Joseph has gone completely insane, he has had enough of Su Xinyuan's haunting torment.
There was no sound in the originally noisy arena at this time, and the whole venue was a little eerily quiet, and almost everyone's eyes were focused on Joseph.
Buying a piece of porcelain for $100 million, is that underworld upstart from the West Coast crazy?
That's probably what they were thinking at the time.
"One hundred million three times! Deal! Lacey excitedly struck the wooden hammer, and it was rare in his auction career to see such fierce competition.
Joseph let out a long sigh of relief and leaned his head back on the chair in some prostration, thankfully the man didn't go any further.
