Chapter Twenty-Nine: Twists and Turns
"180 million!"
"Two hundred million!"
After the fierce quotation of many people, there are only two groups of people who are still quoting at the scene, these two groups of people Ma Wenyu and Gongsun Wan also know each other, one group is the Abu Dhabi consortium, and at the same time is a member of the royal family; And the other group of people are the people of the Hitomoto Yasuda Foundation.
From the opening of the heirloom jade seal to the auction, Ma Wenyu and Gongsun Wan did not participate in the bidding during the whole process, because they understood that in the end, it still depends on who has more money while possessing this legendary thing. However, the rules that David Auction House said before the start are too harsh, and it is obvious that there is a will, and now the offer is close to all the money that can be taken out according to the regulations of the auction house, what should I do? If you really let things go out again, and then go back to China, I don't know if there is any hope or how long it will be in the future, because this matter is really shameless for the two of them, especially if the things fall into the hands of the Japanese, then... What to do, the two of them are also racking their brains.
Suddenly, Gongsun Wan's eyes lit up, because she saw Chi Meiling and felt that this might be a glimmer of hope, so she tried her best to control the range of her movements, and leaned over to her without attracting the attention of others. Because the atmosphere was very warm, it was true that no one noticed Gongsun Wan's actions.
"Hello, I'm Gongsun Wan, from Yanjing, and I once had the opportunity to meet you, Miss Chi."
"I also remember you, the last time I was in Guangzhou, at the dinner where Huida Company celebrated its opening." Although Chi Meiling, who was smiling, didn't know why Gongsun Wan came to greet her at this time, but she knew Gongsun Wan's background, and she was naturally willing to maintain a good relationship with her, not to mention anything else, if there were any business problems in the mainland, this would be a big help.
At this time, Gongsun Wan knew that it was not the time to greet each other, so she spoke straight to the point: "We are all Chinese, and the jade seal of the country must not flow abroad in this way on such an occasion, but in this situation, the only way should be to buy it at auction, but because of the wrong information, the lack of signal on the cruise ship and the trading rules temporarily added by the auction house, our preparation is not sufficient, so I need your help." ”
Speaking of which, with Chi Meiling's cleverness, she naturally understood what Gongsun Wan meant, and after a little thought, she agreed. Not to mention that it is to befriend Gongsun Wan, but as a Chinese person, she naturally understands how to choose at this time, and she also had ideas before, but it is also because of the current harsh environment, and her ability is also insufficient.
"If you follow the rules of the auction, I have 100 million here."
Seeing Chi Meiling so happy, Gongsun Wan had a feeling of being in a desperate situation, plus the more than 200 million prepared by herself and Ma Wenyu, I believe that there is a chance; It's not that they can't get more money, but I really didn't expect that there would be no signal, otherwise if they could transfer money, how could there be such an embarrassment now.
"Three hundred and ten million!"
When the person from the Yasuda Foundation of Japan finished quoting this price, seeing that even the one from the Abu Dhabi Foundation withdrew from the competition, he hesitated for a moment, and Gongsun Wan opened his mouth to offer: "330 million." "The reason why the sudden increase of 20 million is also a strategic way, hoping to scare off the people of the Yasuda Foundation.
After hearing Gongsun Wan's offer, Yasuda Ryuichi set his eyes on her and smiled disdainfully at her because he had the confidence to win.
"Three hundred and sixty million."
Hearing this number, Gongsun Wan thought about it for a long time, and finally directly said all the money she could come up with now: "380 million." There is no way around it, she really has a personal experience of "it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice".
"Four hundred million!"
When he heard this amount of money come out of Yasuda Long's mouth, Gongsun had a feeling of despair.
After seeing that Gongsun Wan stopped bidding for a long time, GE also slowly said, "Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" 400 million at a time! As he spoke, GE also struck the next auction hammer; In fact, for GE, he prefers to continue the price comparison, not to mention that his auction house can have more income, for an auctioneer, it is unique to be able to auction such a price, which has unexpected benefits for his fame, the higher the price, the more his fame increases...
"I have two questions I would like to ask." At this time, Ma Wenyu was ready to make a final effort.
Although Ma Wenyu's words interrupted the auction process and seemed very impolite, at this time, how could he care so much.
"What can I do for you, sir?"
"I don't think it's an unsolvable problem to be able to transfer money without a signal, whether the auction can be extended a little bit, because the inability to transfer money now has caused us a lot of trouble, and I think it will also cause financial losses to your auction house, isn't it?"
"We are very sorry for the difficulties caused to everyone, but at the request of the customer, we have no choice, otherwise our lot holder will even cancel our auction qualifications, and there is no lot to continue after the auction has a pause, so I am very sorry sir."
Although GE said it very politely, every word was like a sword piercing the heart for Ma Wenyu: after listening to GE's words, Ma Wenyu also knew that there was no hope for procrastination, and he really had no choice.
"Four hundred million, the second time!"
Yasuda Ryuichi didn't mention how happy he was now, he really had to thank the intelligence staff, otherwise how could he have the opportunity to convince the owner of this heirloom jade seal? But just to convince the stubborn old duke of the cost, now it hurts to think about it, of course everything doesn't matter, although it costs so much, but think about what you will get after bringing things back to Japan...
"Four hundred and ten million!"
Just when GE raised the auction hammer for the third time and was about to knock it down, there was another sound of bidding in the corner of the auction room, which also attracted the attention of everyone at the auction site, but almost everyone didn't know this young man, but when Ma Wenyu and Gongsun Wan saw that it was Zhang Han who was bidding, they felt a little unconvinced of their eyes!
Zhang Han also discovered them when Gongsun Wan and others made a move, because everyone is Chinese, and things are fine as long as they return to China, so Zhang Han, who didn't want to make a move, finally made a move when he found that they were powerless. Zhang Han was very clear that there was no reason to let the heirloom jade seal flow away in front of his eyes.
Although Gongsun Wan had a lot of contact with Zhang Han in school, she felt that Zhang Han's ability was good, he was an aspiring young man, and he could be said to be very good, and he also knew that Zhang Han had a good car and should have some money, but she was so arrogant that she took it out with more than 400 million, which made her really can't believe it, she found that her understanding of this classmate was really too superficial; Ma Wenyu naturally doesn't need to say it, although he has had contact before, not to mention that he didn't find Zhang Han's special at that time, and then because he was busy with the company's affairs and preparing to come to Hong Kong, what the uncle said also decided to retire and do it later, but now, ??!! In the face of Zhang Han's bid, he really couldn't say what he felt at this time; Regarding Zhang Han's bid, although Chi Meiling and Dave were also a little surprised, they were still relatively calm because they knew more about the situation, but Yasuda Ryuichi couldn't calm down, and when they saw that they were about to succeed, someone actually intervened sideways. ”
"Four hundred and thirty million!" While saying the price fiercely, his eyes stared at Zhang Han resentfully.
"Five hundred million." Zhang Han shouted out the price directly without a trace of hesitation, which also caused an uproar in the audience, and who he was became a topic of communication among many people on the scene.
"Five hundred and ten million." I really didn't expect that there was such a person as Zhang Han, and he could come up with such a sum of money at once, Yasuda Ryuichi finally became ruthless and shouted out this price, which is also a limit for him; After the price was shouted, Yasuda Ryuichi had the urge to vomit blood.
"Six hundred million." Zhang Han completely ignored Yasuda Ryuichi's resentful gaze, smiled at him and directly shouted out such a price, Zhang Han's courage also made the originally noisy venue quiet all of a sudden.
After waiting for a long time, GE saw that Yasuda Ryuichi did not bid again, so he knocked down the third auction hammer; With the hammer of the auction hammer knocking down, the atmosphere that had been suppressed for a long time in the quiet scene finally broke out again, and at this time GE did not think about maintaining order anymore, he also fell into his own excitement; 600 million? This will become a legend in the history of auctions, and it will be passed on with it...
No matter how lively the banquet is, there will be an end, as the participants leave, the auction scene finally quieted down, and the feast also came to an end; Zhang Han considered that if he met Gongsun Wan and others, the situation would be more complicated, and this was not a suitable place for conversation, so he left early, of course, it must be after paying off the money and arranging the jade seal of the country.
……
"Honestly, Han, it's a bit crazy that you're doing this, that's 600 million, and it's so easy to say it from your mouth? Isn't it excessive? Although I know that this item is indeed precious, is it too expensive? ”
"I have my reasons, you don't understand. And it's all my own money, not from Longxiang Investment. ”
"Of course I don't doubt this, but..."
"Dave, if you are a Chinese, you will understand, there is no such thing in this matter, and I think that what money can solve is not a thing, you can still make money if you don't have money, and 600 million is not a big number for you, it's just that you and I have different values in some things, so you have such doubts."
"Perhaps." Dave thought about it, and things are indeed as Zhang Han said, but they all say that Chinese people have no faith, but what is Zhang Han's madness?
The auction will be followed by a gala dinner by David to celebrate the success of the auction; According to the original plan, the Royal Princess cruise ship will also sail on the high seas for one night, and will dock in Macau the next day, so Dave didn't sit in Zhang Han's house for long, and went to the cruise deck to attend the banquet.
