Chapter 200: The Richest Man Meets the Richest Man

"It turns out that for only 9 million euros, you can come to Greece to be the 'owner'? It's no wonder that domestic property speculation groups have poured over. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info”

In the box, Gu Mojie only watched the play by himself, and did not mean to raise a card. The reserve price of 9 million euros, he just listened.

Feliro next to her took Gu Mojie's arm and whispered: "This is the effect of the financial crisis, if it is the first half of 08, the reserve price will be at least 12 million euros." And it was said that this is the auction reserve price, and it will definitely call a few rounds to go up, and the final transaction of more than 10 million should be no problem. ”

"That's a good deal, actually, after all, it's to be an 'island owner'." Lu Wenjun looked at the real photos shown on the LED screen with a little nymphomaniac.

The island did not look very large, it was only an oval with a length of one or two hundred meters and a width of one or two hundred meters, and the total land area was about two hectares. Then there is a luxury villa with a construction area of several thousand square meters and a beach corridor on the island. In addition to the small generator room, water purification room, wireless signal antenna and other ancillary facilities, a yacht trestle.

There are also freshwater cisterns, large pools with coral sand, white-sand beaches, palm groves and olive groves that cover the open space over the Grand Peninsula.

For such an island, it is estimated that the final transaction price is converted into RMB, which is more than 100 million. It is equivalent to more than 30,000 yuan per square meter on the house, and other things are given away for nothing.

"If you like it, buy it, and get pocket money anyway." Gu Mojie didn't stop him, although he didn't like Greece, if Lu Wenjun wanted to, he wouldn't hesitate to spend some change to make his wife smile.

To think about it another way, he also spent 100 million 200 million yuan on his Xiangshan villa in the capital. You can buy an island here.

"No, I won't come to stay." Lu Wenjun pursed his lips, and finally reason prevailed over chopping hands, "Maybe if you have a good time this time, you won't come to Greece for a trip in this life." Investing in this kind of thing and other value-added is too low to say. ”

I don't want to live, it's not suitable for investment, and I don't have the historical and artistic value of collecting, so it's pointless to buy it.

In fact, most of the Chinese guests below did not buy the estates here to wait for the increase in value - as far as the Greek economy is concerned, everyone knows that it will definitely not be worth it. They buy a house to meet the conditions of investment immigration so that they can become citizens of EU member states.

In this way, the owner of the island who starts at 9 million euros is not cost-effective.

The atmosphere was really a little cold, and in the end, a few high-rollers from the Middle East raised their cards two or three times.

"Okay, Mr. Ahmed from Qatar, 9 million euros."

"Hakkad of Bahrain. Prince Hussein, 9.5 million euros ......"

“……”

"Khacard. Prince Hussein, 12.5 million euros for the third time, deal! ”

The auctioneer in the hall had a dry mouth and set the atmosphere for a long time, and finally dropped the hammer. The son of a bearded chieftain from Bahrain successfully became the new owner of the island.

Later, I photographed some luxurious, historic beach houses, or out-of-print classic cars, all of which started at more than one million euros, and occasionally had a tens of millions of euros every dozen pieces. There are unsuccessful auctions, and there are also those who have shouted a few deals, but there is no particularly fierce competition for anything.

But it's still a conscience here, and at least there is one thing that is very principled: that is, everything that is sold is original and unique. For example, the identity of the owner of the island, things on each island must be different, if it is to sell cars and yachts, it is either a treasure out of print, or it is a private order made by the predecessors, in short, there will never be a mass production version of the thing to sell.

It's a collectible item for sale here, not second-hand, and it's a bit insulting for the production version to come in.

"It's kind of interesting, at least the sincerity is good." Gu Mojie drank Turkish milk bubble coffee and commented pertinently.

"It's also Greece a country that has a bit of history and a bit of heritage after all. Although the industry and the economy are really bad. Fei and Lu Ernu all thought so.

A few people were eating nuts and drinking coffee and watching the play, and suddenly nearly two hours passed, and forty or fifty good things were disposed of one after another, and the auction was about to end.

The auctioneer changed his expression,

"Okay, now comes the routine highest-value yacht of the Ship's family Onassis, the 'Christina.o', with a starting price of 30 million euros!"

Many first-time visitors made a few noises, as if they were frightened by the auctioneer's momentum and reserve price. Then it was quiet again, you look at me, I look at you, mostly a little dazed.

It's not the first time auctioneers have seen this happen. It is said that if he sells other things, and if he encounters customers who can't see the value of this thing without knowing the goods, he should boast about the lotus flowers in various ways to bring out the selling points of the goods.

Unfortunately, his dignity as a Greek meant that he could not boast about it when he was selling it. He had to wait for the guests themselves to find out that the goods were worth the money.

Soon, a Japanese guest who was visiting for the first time but had a little bit of history said: "How can you have the right to auction the 'Christina.o' yacht of the Onassis family?" As far as the grade of your clubhouse auction house is concerned, it doesn't seem to be qualified! ”

"Mr. Saito, that's right, we're really not qualified. So Athena. Onassis's team of lawyers did not exclusively entrust one of our auction houses to sell the yacht. She also commissioned other auction houses and kept weekly updates on the progress. If it is sold through other channels, of course, we will remove the information from the shelves in time. Actually, Miss Onassis was not very eager to make a move. She was just using it as a gesture. ”

The Japanese guest, Saito, was also sitting in the box, chatting with the auctioneer in the hall through a loudspeaker, so no one could see his expression at the moment. After asking the question, Saito fell silent.

Some uneducated Chinese coal bosses and real estate speculation groups in the hall began to whisper:

"This yacht looks like it's worth more than 10 million euros at most, right? The price is 30 million at once, or the reserve price, is it a pit? ”

"Yes, yes, this is good, buying a newly built yacht in China, not counting taxes, is 100 million 500 million yuan. 320 feet, which translates to about 99 meters long. The size is quite spacious, but the style is too earthy. It's not very good to look at the data. ”

In the box, Lu Wenjun didn't know much at first, and felt that it was indeed expensive. But after all, she has many hearts and eyes, and she won't say it.

"Sister, what do you think?"

Feliro held her chin with a slender hand, and said hesitantly: "Onassis, the Greek ship king, forty years ago, when the heroes of Silicon Valley did not rise, he also used to be the richest man in the world. There may be some allusions to this ship, I don't know the specifics. But Baidu or Google wouldn't be fine. ”

"I'll search for Hatsune." Lu Wenjun pouted and gave full play to his "subjective initiative".

Hatsune Browser's search, although it is not used by many people, but the function is not bad, is it? I can't look down on my family.

After turning over for a while, Lu Wenjun exclaimed "ah".

"It's dirty!"

"What's wrong? How is it dirty? ”

Gu Mojie and Fei Liluo both asked with concern.

"See for yourselves!"

Gu Mojie squinted his eyes and peeked, and quickly found a clue from a webpage of a barnyard official's history.

Greek ship king, Aristotle. Onassis, once the richest man in the world. When he died in 1975, he left behind a cash estate of £2 billion, as well as more than 100 properties, estates and mines in many countries in Europe and the United States. In addition to the partial stake of more than 100 companies in which he has invested, there is also a maritime fleet of more than 50 10,000-ton ships.

The yacht was remodeled by Onassis in the early 60s, when it cost more than $4 million. And before it was converted into a yacht, the ship was formerly a frigate of the Canadian Navy, which was 20 years old at the time (it was an extra warship that was not finished in time after the end of World War II)

So, by now, the ship is 60 years old. It is inevitable to say that the structural design is old.

It's no wonder that the local tyrants look down on this kind of yacht that is not streamlined and smooth at all, and the data is not good-looking.

However, because it is Aristotle. Onassis's car, this ship has a lot of glorious historical value.

For example, there is a room on the ship that Onassis has dedicated to his personal close friend, former British Prime Minister Winston. Churchill's. Churchill also stayed on board a few times and would meet some of the guests.

Of course, what can add value to the ship is definitely not the history of entertaining the guests of a bad old man like Churchill. What's more, Onassis has slept with many female stars on this boat.

In the beginning, it was the greatest female opera singer of the 20th century, Maria. Callas (the most popular female singer in the world in the 50s~60s, limited to the field of classical opera. Not involving pop music), she was Onassis's mistress for almost 20 years, and she was snapped countless times on this boat.

When the female singer gets tired of playing, she changes the actress. So the second woman to leave her name on the ship is Elizabeth, a superstar of the 50s~60s in Hollywood. Taylor. (This person doesn't need to be introduced, two Academy Awards for Best Actress, n Best Nominations.) )

In the end, the woman in the showbiz could no longer satisfy Onassis's pretense desire, and he began a new hunt. His career reached the pinnacle of his life - he invited Jacqueline, the wife of the President of the United States, on this ship. Kennedy traveled with him and managed to sleep.

Please note: This was done before the JFK, or President Kennedy, was assassinated. It wasn't that Kennedy had gone to pick up the broken shoes after he died.

Although Kennedy himself had to take more than a dozen drugs a day because of various family genetic diseases, he was very strong in various mania, depression, and sexual addiction at a young age, and needed to relieve his nerves. So much so that President Kennedy has held countless pool parties in his life, and has had more than 1,000 women.

Therefore, Jacqueline, the president's wife, was hooked up by Onassis in Kennedy's various sad feelings of being sorry for her and hurting her.

But no matter what, sleep is sleep.

Onassis, who became the richest man in the world, was extremely arrogant. Not only did he have to sleep, but he also had his old partner, media mogul Murdoch, help him constantly hype up and make sure that every American could see: "Hey! Listen to it all! Your wife of the President of the Great United States of America has slept with me Onassis! After Kennedy died, Jacqueline was married to me! ”

In the context of de Gaulle's hardline on the United States in the 60s, European revivalism, and the rock rebellion of the "Beat Generation" on the American side, Onassis was very upbeat at the beginning.

Europeans, especially the Greeks, not only do not think that he is obscene with women, but feel that he has won glory for the country and Europe.

Now that the Greeks have acne, they can't do it, so they can still leave this ship to lust for a while: "Although now it has been killed by Goldman Sachs' Wall Street dogs...... But back then, our Greek Onassis also the wife of the American president. ”

……

After reading this paragraph, Gu Mojie and Fei Liluo were also very emotional.

Gu Mojie touched his nose and pondered: "But it shouldn't be." Even if the Greek national economy is rotten, it won't reach the point where the Onassis family is short of money to live, right? I heard that Miss Athena also has three or four billion euros of liquid funds in her hands. ”

Feliro was noncommittal: "Who knows, maybe it's not a lack of money, it's that Miss Athena was planning to get rid of this boat." I heard that she was a maverick rich girl, and at the age of 20, she married a man who was poor and divorced for her. The man was 12 years older than her, not handsome, and his only advantage was that he was very dashing and a top rider. And Miss Athena's greatest passion is horseback riding.

There are many sources that say that Miss Athena is eager to live an ordinary life, with a little money and luxury. As for the extras, it is just a heavy historical burden for her. ”

They didn't know that Athena. Onassis had actually been selling off the yacht that her grandfather had named after her mother since the beginning of the crisis. Historically, she didn't make a deal until 2013, when Greece's debt crisis was at its lowest.

Perhaps, she just wanted to break free from the shackles of her own life, and she didn't want to keep her symbol of wealth at a time when the Greek people were in dire straits, which would only put her under more pressure from public opinion to be "unkind to the rich".

Selling the boat and then donating the money you get from selling it may be the best way to make a gesture.

And from Gu Mojie's standpoint, since this ship has the value of historical relics, he will not hesitate to collect it.

He muttered: "The ship that only cost 4 million US dollars at the beginning, even if it is repaired in the future, and it costs so much, it will cost 8 million." 30 million still feels a bit of a pit...... It's not that I'm reluctant to pay for it, it's that I feel that my IQ has been provoked. ”

Being cheated of money, for Gu Mojie, the key is not money, but the action of "being cheated". He doesn't feel sorry for money. But the frustration of being deceived will make him very disgusting.

Feliro knew him too well, so she explained: "Don't worry, 4 million dollars in the 60s is worth more than 30 million euros now." The reason why no one buys it is that most people think it's not fun and can only be collected. If you are willing to collect and appreciate it, the 'cost price' is definitely worth it. ”

What else is there to say? Let's hold up the cards.

"Box 3, Miss Feliro, 30 million euros!"

The auctioneer in the hall had a somewhat excited and complicated voice.

This thing that can't be sold, can't be sold for its selling point, has anyone finally made a bid?

However, I was a little reluctant to sell it.

And as soon as the name "Feliluo" came out, many people who didn't know the truth looked sideways: Feliro? This yacht club is not called "Palalau. Ferrero: "? Could it be the boss's daughter?

"Anyone else bidding? 30 million euros at once! ”

"32 million euros!"

"32 million euros! It's Khacard. Prince Hussein! The auctioneer's voice was even more agitated.

Exercise! Is that big dog ****? Gu Mojie felt a little contempt in his heart.

That guy, when he doesn't make a bid, he doesn't come out. When he came out, he was addicted.

Could it be that Middle Eastern people are born to be cheap, and they like to rush to buy with others, so that they can have a sense of accomplishment when they burn money?
