Chapter 414: The Rush at the Auction
Lu Feng's mind moved, and he wondered: "An Lao, you won't let me prepare a place for you to live, right?" It was all too easy, so I will now go and arrange accommodation for you and the people you have brought for your satisfaction. ”
An Lao scolded with a smile: "Pull it down, if I can't even find a place to live, and I come over to trouble you, won't that prove that I'm too incompetent?" It's not this thing I'm asking you for help with, it's this auction at Stanford Auction House, and I need two tickets. You're not a client! I'm sure I'll give you a few tickets to the auction, right? ”
Lu Feng was slightly stunned, and then said with a wry smile: "An Lao, if you don't say it, I still don't think of this problem." Mr. Edward really didn't give me a ticket to the auction, so I called him immediately. ”
After a few minutes, Lu Feng hung up the phone with a smile and said, "An Lao, we have already talked about it, Mr. Edward has left me the only VIP room in the auction house, and there are a total of ten people in the VIP room, you can be with me." ”
An Lao nodded slightly, a look of satisfaction appeared on his face, and then he scolded with a smile: "Sure enough, there are people in the court who are easy to do, but I didn't expect that I would also go through the back door one day." Get out, hurry up and find me a place to live, to find this neighborhood, save tossing back and forth. ”
Lu Feng looked stunned, and suddenly showed a look of crying and laughing. Just said that he would let him find him, which is an incapable act, but now this task has fallen on him again.
Soon, Lu Feng helped An Lao find an apartment, which was not far from where he lived, and it was six or seven minutes away by car.
*********************************************************************************
The next morning, six cars rushed to the Stanford auction house, Lu Feng and An Lao, Shang Wende, Wang Laozi and Wang Yumeng, Yu Kai and others did not go through the door, but through the staff passage, entered the only VIP room in the auction venue.
Through the clear and transparent glass of the VIP room, Lu Feng looked at the rich people in the venue who exuded the momentum of the superiors, or the world-class celebrities with super energy, and secretly sighed in his heart: His fate has really changed, if a few years ago, someone told him that he could gather with these big guys who solved the problem today, and he would not believe it, but now, he had to sigh that creation made people.
That sentence is well said: thirty years in the east of the river and thirty years in the west of the river.
Where did it take thirty years, and in only three years, he had already touched the door of success.
This auction, the host of the auction house, Edward, the big boss of the auction house. Standing on the auction table, Edward endured the excitement in his heart, looked at the prominent figures, held the microphone in his hand and laughed loudly: "It's an honor for us at Stanford Auction House to welcome you all over the world today." I, Edward, were thrilled and delighted. I would like to express my gratitude to all of you for coming, thank you for joining us. ”
"I understand that everyone's time is very valuable, and even how much money can be made per minute, so I consciously stop being verbose and no longer wasting everyone's time, and now I announce that this auction will start now."
Edward's words were very humorous, causing the big people present to chuckle for a while, and then their expressions became serious, and they said with a smile: "Below, the upcoming auction is a 17th-century bronze jade, which can be regarded as the appetizer of this auction." I believe that many people have heard of copper jade, and his value is not even worse than that of bronze, so the price of this copper jade is 20 million US dollars, and its information is in front of you, and now the bidding begins. ”
Copper jade is a very precious utensil, it is made of the best jade and bronze smelting, made of utensils, its process is extremely difficult, each finished product is worth a lot.
Therefore, this rare item is the most favorite thing of collectors.
After a commotion in the crowd below, almost thirty seconds before Edward's voice fell, a wealthy man from the Middle East held up the bidding card in his hand, and after the spotlight shone on the bidding board, a set of numbers appeared on the large projector behind Edward: $24 million.
However, this set of numbers appeared on the projector screen for less than three seconds before being topped by someone else's offer: 28 million.
Obviously, this first appetizer item was loved by everyone, so in just ten minutes, the price of this copper jade has soared to $39 million.
"Three nine million dollars, the price of this bronze jade is already three hundred and nine million dollars, is there anything higher? Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer copper jades, and owning it is equivalent to having a lot of wealth, and its price increase space is also very large......"
Edward's sensational words made most people moved, and in the end, after several rounds of bidding, the bronze jade was sold for $42 million.
Lu Feng, who was sitting in the VIP room, looked at the auction results in front of him with a look of shock on his face.
He really didn't expect that a piece of copper jade could be auctioned at such an expensive price, you know, there were three copper jade objects he salvaged from the bottom of the sea.
"The second auction item is ......"
The auction was going on slowly, and in a blink of an eye, more than half of the items had been auctioned off, and Lu Feng looked at the rich tycoons in front of him in shock, watching them spend a lot of money, and his heart was full of joy.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, in the bidding for an item, Lu Feng inadvertently saw a familiar face and a bare head.
It's him?
Lu Feng's gaze looked at the middle-aged man with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.
That person is Tie Sheng's father, Tie Tianba, the head of the Shanxi Tie family, Lu Feng didn't expect to see him here, and he was also secretly shocked in his heart, the Shanxi Tie family would be so rich that he could have a place here.
"Master, look at the position in the front left audience, in the middle of the eighth row, that bald-headed middle-aged man, you should know him, right? Tie Tianba, the head of the Shanxi Tie family, is the father of a good friend of mine. Lu Feng lightly touched Shang Wende's arm beside him and said in a low voice.
Shang Wende followed the direction of Lu Feng's finger, and suddenly, his expression moved slightly, and then he chuckled: "I didn't expect this little guy to come too." It seems that over the years, their Tie family has developed well. ”
Lu Feng smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when An Lao on the other side smiled lightly: "In the past 20 years, the Shanxi Tie family has indeed developed rapidly, and even their Tie family has become the largest taxpayer in Shanxi. Among them, in the whole of Shanxi, more than half of the coal mining industry has the shadow of their iron family. This Iron Heavenly Overlord's character is quite upright, otherwise ......"
Lu Feng and Shang Wende were both silent, their hearts were like mirrors, what An Lao didn't finish saying, I'm afraid it was, "Otherwise, their Tie family would have been suppressed by the state a long time ago." ”
For this An Lao who has the power to kill, even Shang Wende, there are some things that can be said, and some things that cannot be said.
The auction was going on in an orderly manner, and Lu Feng was excited, looking at the constantly flipping auction prices, why couldn't he stop smiling.
Soon, all that remained was the last two items, diamonds and a complete set of jade.
Edward's smile, that's a brilliant one! This auction was very successful, and the auction prices of all the previous items were much better than he expected.
At this time, he liked Lu Feng, the god of wealth sent to the door, and even if it was possible, he had the urge to hug Lu Feng and kiss him fiercely.
"The next auction items, I think many people will be interested, such as who has more women, whose women love beauty, for example, which jeweler, for example, the rich people who like glitter like dragons, etc., because the next auction items are 182 diamonds, and after our auction experts confirmed, these diamonds belong to South African diamonds, and even one of them has a diamond, which is almost the largest in the world, so the auction reserve price of these diamonds is 100 million US dollars. The auction begins. ”
After Edward's voice fell, the rich people who had already learned about this auction item all showed their imminent appearance, diamonds, items that will never depreciate, although it is not an antique cultural relic, but for people, having a large number of diamonds can prove their status, they can use it to make the woman they love happy, and they can wait for the appreciation space......
In 20 minutes, the bidding price of this batch of diamonds soared to a sky-high price of $250 million.
However, the final price also stays at this price, because everyone has a scale in their hearts, and if it is high, unless it is a special demand, it will not waste money.
Although many people's concept of money is a large string of data, they also have a horizontal ruler in their hearts, that is, the concept of value and non-value.
"The last item, the mysterious jade, for the origin of this set of jade, we have read countless classics, looking for a lot of historical materials, whether it is the mysterious East, or the West, almost every corner of the seven continents and eight oceans of cultural materials, we have searched, and even during this period, we have consulted countless antique experts, but no one can identify, what age is this item, which country's antique cultural relics."
"Of course, there are still some clues, such as the form of these jade objects, among which the jade Ruyi in the distant country of China, as well as the shape of a pipa-shaped instrument, of course, there are similar to the saxophone in Western musical instruments, in short, it is certain that it is definitely an antiquity with a long history, and in terms of jade, it is definitely the best. So, his low price is $400 million. Bidding starts now. ”
There was a commotion in the crowd, and everyone looked at the information about the trap mysterious jade in their hands, and their hearts were about to move, even these antique masters could not determine the antiquities, if one day someone knew its origin, then I am afraid that the price would skyrocket, after all, it has now been determined that it is an antiquity.
Four hundred million dollars?
Lu Feng, who was sitting in the VIP room, stood up suddenly, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and he shouted, "Oh my God! Is this Edward crazy? How did he price this thing so high? $400 million! Who will have a brain convulsion to buy? ”
However, as soon as Lu Feng's words fell, the bidding data floated on the big screen of the projector behind Edward. And this auction is definitely the largest in history, and almost everyone is quoting the ideal price in their hearts.
Ten minutes later, the price had grown to $800 million.
Twenty minutes later, the price reached $1.2 billion.
Half an hour later, the price reached two billion dollars.
Forty minutes later, the number of bidders gradually decreased, but the price reached 2.5 billion.
"Twenty billion six."
A loud voice sounded in the auction room, and the person who shouted this sentence was Edward, who was full of excitement.
Because no one else knows everyone's bidder number, almost everyone is talking to each other to see who is so crazy that they have spent so much money to this point.
No one noticed that the bald Tie Tianba, who was sitting in the crowd, had excitement flashing in his eyes.
