Chapter 696: The Auction (Part I)
Three days before the auction began, Zhang Yang's USS Lincoln aircraft carrier battle group arrived in the Maldives Islands. The person responsible for escorting Zhang Yang and Li Keqing ashore was a Marine Corps on the USS Lincoln, a small detachment of 12 people. This island is an island of S people, so the Maldives doesn't care, besides, even if you want to manage it, there is no way, how many Miao people can there be in the entire Maldives, how many warships can there be?
After Zhang Yang and Li Keqing went to the island, there were already many people on the island. Zhang Yang and Li Keqing's arrival was warmly welcomed by the owner, and the whole island was like a beautiful resort, of course, without those various bodyguards.
It's just a pity that no one's bodyguard has a flamboyant bull fork, a professional soldier who is completely fully armed, and he is also a U.S. Marine Corps. Zhang Yang has chartered a whole building, if you put aside the purpose of this time, this island is still very beautiful, Zhang Yang's villa is on the seaside of the island, and some of the buildings similar to the pier extend directly to the sea, stepping on the wooden pier can directly walk to the edge of the sea.
The surrounding villas were occupied by twelve members of the Marine Corps, who were responsible for the safety of Zhang Yang and Li Keqing, and from here, you could see the huge group of warships moored on the sea. There are really a lot of people joining in the fun this time, even Buffett came, but Buffett didn't talk to Zhang Yang, but he didn't know who to drink with, and the first person to visit Zhang Yang was a person Zhang Yang didn't expect at all.
Rashid! "Hello, Mr. Zhang." Rashid said with a smile. Zhang Yang smiled: "Hello King Rashid." I didn't expect the king to come here too. ”
"Haha, I still like to join in the fun, and I heard that Mr. Zhang is here this time, so I will also come to take a look." Rashid said with a smile.
Zhang Yang nodded and asked with a smile: "I see, I don't know if there is anything worth paying attention to in this auction except for a few Japanese national treasures?" ”
"I took a look and saw that there are many artifacts that have been missing for a long time, but none of them can be compared to these national treasures of Japan, and these are all highlights." Rashid said with a smile.
"However, I actually have one more thing to ask for when I came to Mr. Zhang this time." Rashid looked at Zhang Yang and asked.
"King Rashid, you say."
"It's about controllable nuclear fusion power stations, Mr. Zhang should know that the current UAE is completely dependent on oil, but with the research and development of the controllable nuclear fusion technology of the Star Group, the magical battery of the Star Group has slowly begun to spread all over the world, and the status of oil will slowly decline, although I can't know the sales volume of the Star Group BMW, but from the current growing market value of the BMW company, and the long order can be seen, the future may be the era of electric oil hún power vehicles." Rashid didn't say much about it, and directly stated his purpose.
"Well...... I know this, but the UAE has a special geographical location, and it is not impossible to build a controllable nuclear fusion power station, so let's ask your country to send people directly to the Star Group, and we will officially start negotiations. Zhang Yang thought for a while and said.
Although the Star Group has a lot of funds, it is impossible to build controllable nuclear fusion power stations in all countries in the world, so with who can start first, then it will undoubtedly be ahead of others, if the Star Group has no money, will the Star Group still build controllable nuclear fusion power stations? At least it is impossible for Star Group to authorize the construction of other companies.
"I don't know what Mr. Zhang wants to come" Rashid hesitated for a moment, or asked, what is there to attract Zhang Yang in the UAE? If there was oil in the past, then now the price of oil in the international futures market is falling rapidly, even in China, the oil price that has hardly fallen has gone through a small round of decline.
"Well, let's do it, although the battery may be the main force in the future, but if one day the Star Group wants to buy oil fields or other minerals in the UAE and other Arab world countries, I also hope that King Rasheid can use the influence of the UAE royal family to help the Star Group say some good things." Zhang Yang pondered for a moment and said.
"Of course that's fine." Rashid didn't ask why Star Group still wanted to buy oil fields, after all, most of the world's power is still produced by oil.
Three days is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and with one day to go before the auction, Japan's foreign minister, Mino Matsui, also came to the Maldives. However, to Zhang Yang's surprise, Matsui Sanye actually came to meet Zhang Yang as soon as he arrived in the Maldives, as for the purpose of meeting Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang is actually a little unclear, if he wants to intercede and let Zhang Yang not participate in the auction, then he didn't say this problem from beginning to end.
just said some nonsensical things to Zhang Yang, and even Zhang Yang didn't know what his purpose was. The auction is held in the evening and is hosted by a villa complex in the middle of the island. But this time, those bodyguards couldn't enter the venue, and there was a strict security system around the entire venue, so it was impossible for anyone to enter with weapons.
If someone throws a nuclear bomb at this villa, I am afraid that at least half of the world's top 100 richest people will disappear. This is Zhang Yang's first time participating in the auction, everyone has a handheld mobile phone similar to PD in their hands, which will be connected to the huge electric screen above the rostrum of the auction factory, and the PD buttons have two rows, and the upper row is the written amount.
They are 10,000, 100,000, 1 million, 10 million, and 100 million, in dollars, and the lower row is a total of 10 numbers from 1 to 9, as well as two units, 10 million and 100 million, you can choose to enter by yourself, and then press OK. Of course, if you want, you can just raise a sign and shout, but there are quite a few people in this hall.
It is possible to shout more luàn.
Before the auction began, Lux Auction House handed out a picture album of jīng beauty to everyone, which contained all the auction flats tonight, Zhang Yang opened it and looked at it, and couldn't help but smile and said to Li Keqing next to him: "Look at it, dare to buy anything from these?" Even the Revolution Satellite has it. ”
"Huh? Let me see. Li Keqing picked up the book in front of her with some curiosity and looked at it, just turned a few pages, there was really everything in it, from weapons, to weapon production lines, from antiques, to companies, to shares of world-famous companies, and even American bonds.
However, after roughly flipping through the things that interested Zhang Yang, in addition to the more than 70 national treasures in Japan that were packaged and sold, the only thing left was a jī blood stone. It is definitely the best jī blood stone, about 20 centimeters in height, more than 10 centimeters in length and width, the key is that it is bright red as blood, there is no impurity, the bright red is as pure as yù, and it looks unusually beautiful.
Generally speaking, if the whole body is blood, it is cinnabar, not jī bloodstone, but this piece in front of you is not like this, because cinnabar is cinnabar, jī bloodstone is jī bloodstone, the two are different things, although they belong to the same category, it is very easy to identify, the texture of this piece in front of you looks no different from yù stone, the reason why it is so bright red as blood I am afraid that several sides are out of the blue.
I didn't expect to see this kind of superb jī blood stone here, and it should be considered a treasure to buy this thing and engrave a few seals. The auction started very quickly, and Zhang Yang was not interested in weapons and other things, so he just watched some people Zhang Yang didn't know at all, and many of them were obviously buyers from Africa or the Middle East.
"The following jī bloodstone is one of the perfect jī bloodstones in the world at the moment, with a starting price of $1 million and no less than $10,000 each time the price increase." The jī bloodstone wasn't a precious thing, so it was its turn to be auctioned.
20 then pressed the auctioneer in his hand, "Mr. Zhang Yang Zhang bid two million dollars, and there is no one to increase the price." "Although jī bloodstone is expensive, there are many tens of millions, but there are really few people like Zhang Yang who directly double the price.
With the auctioneer's shout, the people below looked at each other, and they all looked at Zhang Yang, but it was very strange that there was no one bidding.
"Uh......" Zhang Yang choked for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case at all, to be honest, two million dollars, at present, it is about a little more than 14 million RB, with the quality of this Jī bloodstone, it is worth at least about 30 million RB, just like ...... Everyone is no longer competing, and the auctioneer is probably speechless.
"Two million dollars for the second time, there is no one to bid, this jī blood stone is a rare king of jī blood stones, under the light you can even see the perfect yù inside which is like the veins of the human body." The auctioneer on the stage is still sparing no effort to introduce, but the rich people below are just smiling and nodding at Zhang Yang, but no one has increased the price.
"Two million dollars for the third time! Congratulations to Mr. Zhang Yang for successfully auctioning this jī bloodstone. ”
"Why didn't you ask for a price, it's really boring." Li Keqing was a little depressed, she hadn't auctioned anything yet, she was just about to play, but she called a price once, and no one called again.
The auctioneer is estimated to be completely speechless, even if he is the richest man in the world, everyone competes fairly in this purchase, and he is not stupid, and it is impossible to bid for a position that others can't accept, why is no one bidding, doesn't anyone like this thing?
That's really not, after all, like jade, Hetian yù, ink yù, jī blood stone, this kind of superb yù stone is basically not liked by the world's richest people, but everyone has their own little Jiujiu in their hearts, and the rich people who come here basically have their own goals, and everyone knows what kind of person Zhang Yang is, in case we raise the price and the other party is stiff, and it will be our turn to do it for a while, what if people raise the price?
Everyone knows how much money Zhang Yang has, and people can. Even throwing 10 billion US dollars, he will not frown, but in addition to publicity, even the second person in the world's richest list does not dare to say that he will not frown when he throws 10 billion US dollars, right? Everyone's strength is about the same, maybe they will compete, but the difference in strength is too big, forget it, isn't it just a piece of jī blood stone, the An family is all in business, who knows if there will be a place to cooperate with the Star Group in the future.
It is estimated that the owner of the jī bloodstone is completely in pain at this time, but the thing has been put up, and it has been auctioned, although the price is unsatisfactory, but it can be considered acceptable.
The speed of the auction was very fast, probably more than two hours later, after a short break, it was finally the turn of the finale, that is, more than 70 cultural relics from Japan were bound to auction, and everyone was a little bored jīng gods were also excited, everyone understood that the highlight was coming.
Aren't a lot of people who come to see the excitement also come for this thing? The competition between the world's second economic power and the world's richest man...... Everyone thinks about it, but they don't know what crazy price this thing will be auctioned off.
The actual value of these collections, everyone has actually found some antique masters to identify before coming, although these things are precious, but in fact, their value adds up to about 100 million US dollars, about 8 billion RB, this price is already very overestimated, after all, they are just cultural relics, dead things, the average price of 100 million RB per piece, which is a crazy price in the world.
But everyone knows that the price of this batch of artifacts will definitely set a record, why? Quite simply, the value of something depends on who bought it, and now one comes with the determination that it must be bought back, and it is also a national treasure of this country, and it can be said to be a priceless treasure for this country.
It's just that no matter how priceless it is, this thing actually still has a price, after all, it is impossible for the Japanese government to let the Japanese government collapse financially to buy these things. But everyone understands what kind of price this thing will have, and no one really knows what kind of price it will have.
"Let's shoot this time, didn't you say you didn't work out just now?" Zhang Yang smiled and leaned into Li Keqing's ear and said.
"Huh? How much money do I lose? Li Keqing was a little hesitant, she had spent a lot of money, but buying such a useless thing, at least in Li Keqing's opinion, was a useless thing, huā had so much money, she was really a little reluctant.
"Daughter-in-law, rest assured! We have money, the meaning of this thing is different, I just want to buy it back disgusting and disgusting Japanese politics. Zhang Yang said with a smile, although Zhang Yang lowered his voice, but it was not much lower, many people around heard it, fortunately Matsui Sanye sat farther away, otherwise, it is estimated that he would have to vomit blood.
