Chapter 309: Hot Auction (Part II)

。 When the time came, the auctioneer appeared on the stage. He is Zhang Jihui's younger brother Zhang Jiming, the chief auctioneer of the evening newspaper auction, who has created a personal auction record of 1.2 billion, and is definitely the first-class auctioneer in the domestic auction house.

Zhang Jiming stood on the stage, always with a kind professional smile on his face: "Distinguished guests, welcome to the Wanbao auction Qin Xuebing's personal session. I won't say much about the significance of this auction and the collection to be auctioned, but I will ask for the first lot. ”

Auctions generally follow the rules of the first collection, which is not the most prized, but is very popular, causing a lot of bidding to warm up the auction. This auction was no exception, and the first piece in the collection was a bottle of French wine.

Wine is very popular all over the world, especially in some banquets, high-end restaurants have become almost a must-have, and in France, if the restaurant does not sell wine, there are almost no customers.

There were dozens of French people who participated in the auction, and even if the guests from other countries did not participate in the auction, these French people alone could raise the price of the bottle to a sky-high price.

Zhang Jiming coughed lightly and said in a very infectious voice: "I think many of you know the Bordeaux Château classification system in 1855, which was a world-class marketing that directly established the red wine classification system. ”

Before Zhang Jiming's words fell, the eyes of those who liked wine immediately widened, wondering if this was a wine produced in 1855.

Zhang Jihui smiled and said: "Archaeologists have studied the oak barrels used to hold wine, which were produced in 1855. In other words, it is highly likely that the bottle was produced in 1855. Secondly, our sommelier has identified the red wine, which is produced in Burgundy. ”

The voice fell. There was an uproar underground. The French divide wine into four grades: regional wines, fine regional wines, regional wines, and daily wines, and Burgundy is one of the few legal appellations. Château Margaux, Château Lado, Château Mouton and Château Hoube are among the top five wineries in the world.

Add to that the fact that this wine was probably produced in 1955, the year the wine was graded, then the meaning of this bottle becomes completely different, it will represent a culture, red wine culture.

"Mr. Qin Xuebing brought out a lot of wine from the nameless island this time, and there was also a lot of red wine among them. But only one barrel from Burgundy was produced in 1855. Zhang Jiming's meaning is obvious, this bottle of wine is the best, and it is also the only one circulating in the market, and if you miss this opportunity, you are likely to lose the opportunity forever.

"The bottle of red wine participating in the auction is one liter, with a reserve price of 200,000 yuan, and each bid is not less than 10,000 yuan. The auction begins. Zhang Jiming said.

Black, the audience outside the venue unanimously agreed! Among the red wine brands, Lafite has always been considered the most expensive by the public, especially Lafite in 82. But even the 82-year-old Lafite has about 100,000 bottles. But the reserve price of this bottle is already 200,000.

Although the 82-year-old Lafite is precious, it is not so much that money cannot buy it. But what about this bottle of red wine? The vintage is as high as a century and a half, especially the special vintage and special origin, which can almost become liquid cultural relics, and how can money buy it?

That's what many people at the auction said, especially the French. As soon as Zhang Jiming's words fell, a Frenchman quoted: "Two hundred and twenty thousand." ”

"Someone really buys it, these French fools." Many people look at the big screen and shake their heads, isn't it just a bottle of wine, if the amount of wine is good, you can dry it off in one sip, as for spending so much money? At least most people don't have the courage to drink two hundred and twenty thousand in one sitting.

"Actually, this is normal, imagine Daoguang twenty-five years." Many people think of Daoguang's 25-year auction, and the highest price of a single bottle is as high as 190,000. A bottle is one catty, but this bottle of red wine is two catties.

And that auction had a total of 21 catties of Daoguang for 25 years, and this auction only had a bottle of red wine. There is no need to be surprised to fetch a high price. …,

It is also true that 210,000 is just the beginning, far from the end. The French tycoons on the scene frequently called for the price, and you raised it up to 10,000 and 20,000 yuan, and after 36 auctions, the price was raised to 860,000 yuan.

Eight hundred and sixty thousand, just for a bottle of wine! Many people are thinking about whether to wait for the auction to end and kidnap a rich man here, believing that the rich man who has too much money to spend will not value money more than life.

"Eight hundred and sixty thousand, the gentleman from France has already shouted eight hundred and sixty thousand, is there any more high price? Gone? 860,000 first ......"

"A million!"

Another sign was raised, and it was a woman's voice. Zhang Jihui's woman, the French rich woman Ville, is also a woman with a strong sense of vanity, I believe that she is not buying this bottle of wine to drink, but placing it on the counter, every time a guest comes to the door, she can use it to show off.

"A million, already a million, is there a higher price? A million first, a million second, a million ......"

Just when everyone thought that Zhang Jiming was going to drop the hammer, this guy suddenly said: "The French really know how to taste wine best, a millionth ......"

"One million and one million!"

Immediately someone shouted. Although the red wine culture is the most prevalent in France, why can it be said that the French know how to taste wine the most? Whether it is or not, many people are not convinced anyway. If you are not convinced, you will take the money and smash it, they really don't pay attention to tens of millions, and it is only a few hundred thousand when converted into euros.

"Won't it?" Qin Xuebing was stunned for a moment, anyway, it was impossible for him to spend money like this, especially because of a bottle of wine.

"Auctions are like that, it's easy to lose your mind." Dean Zhong has a lot of experience and has long been surprised. At the auction, many people will spend money crazy because of many factors.

As for whether it can make people lose their minds, whether it can make people crazy and throw money, it depends on the auctioneer's ability. At least for now, Zhang Jiming has done a very good job.

"Damn auctioneer!" Viglia cursed to herself, she had planned well, shouting a high price at the last moment, shocking the bidding opponent and leaving him no time to think. But Zhang Jihui's words made the competition fierce again.

"One million and two million!" Viglia is not short of money, she just wants to take the bottle back as a capital to show off.

One million and two hundred thousand seems to be just the beginning, the scene took turns to bid prices, and the price kept rising, and the audience outside the venue was almost dumbfounded: "Two million and three hundred thousand, these people really don't treat money as money." ”

Two and three hundred thousand, this is the price that Vilia finally shouted out. She finally got her wish, and looking at the eyes around her, her vanity was greatly satisfied.

Qin Xuebing was also taken aback by this woman, just a bottle of wine, as for it? But he doesn't understand, everyone's pursuit is different. He pursues the thrill of treasure hunting, and Vilia pursues the envy of others.

The red wine has already been owned, and the excitement of the auction has dissipated a lot, and the next thing to be auctioned is a relatively large number of gold and silver coins. These gold and silver coins have a certain value in themselves, and they are antiques and treasure hunting souvenirs, and they are also very popular once they are launched, with the highest gold coin auctioning for 560,000 yuan, and the lowest is a silver coin, which also has 140,000 yuan.

The auction item launched after the gold and silver coins made people laugh and cry, it was a piece of wild boar meat weighing five catties. Zhang Jiming said: "Even if you don't need to say it, everyone knows very well that this is a piece of wild boar, produced by a mysterious pirate, from a powerful wild boar. Again, it is also unique, as for how many people want to eat this piece of meat, and who can eat this piece of meat, wait and see. The reserve price is 3,000 yuan, and each bid is not less than 100 yuan, and the auction begins. ”

Like wine, it is a consumable, and the family can digest it with a single meal when they open their appetite. What is precious about it is its rarity, and the story of the treasure hunt. At least Vilia wanted to eat this piece of pork, and immediately shouted the price of 10,000. …,

It's more than 10,000 yuan to buy a bag at will, but it's not uncommon to buy a bag and take it out, but if you take out this piece of meat, it will definitely be enviable. It's an unscientific way to calculate, but she likes it.

However, there are too many wolves with less meat, they can afford to spend money, and there are too many people who want to eat meat, and there are people who are more ruthless than Vilia, and they directly shouted the price of 50,000. More than 50,000? As long as he takes this piece of meat and invites his partner to eat, satisfies the vanity of the other party, and reaches cooperation, how much more than 50,000 yuan will be earned?

They are all calculating the value of this piece of meat in their own unique way, and because of this, the value of this piece of meat will increase infinitely. But there is nothing wrong with their calculations, as long as there are some people who are very happy to spend a lot of money to buy cultural relics from overseas, and then cause the media to scramble to report, which is equivalent to an advertisement, and the income is far greater than the investment. It can only be said that it is this society that is wrong.

In the end, this piece of meat was bought for 360,000 yuan, so that many poachers were thinking about whether to go to the mysterious island to poach, as long as they got a few pieces of meat out, they could buy a house and a car. It's not for nothing that they have this kind of mind and action, but it's impossible for them to find the island. It is also said that they are lucky, and if they are unfortunate to find it, there is only one ending, death.

Zhang Jiming was also deeply surprised by this result, but it was more information, and holding an auction would not make the competition crazy, for fear that the competitors would be too calm.

After the wild boar was the turn of the wild boar's bones, Zhang Jiming began to exert his eloquence, on the one hand, how powerful the wild boar is, on the other hand, how good the health care effect of the wild boar's bones, whether it is for their own use, or to honor the elderly, or to send customers, it is a high-end expensive gift.

As a result, this round of bidding became even more crazy, and when a real estate developer was shouted for 1 million, he suddenly shouted 1.5 million, shocked the audience, and took this bone as he wished. But he thinks it's worth it, recently I want a piece of land that just lacks a gift, send this bone up, and the land in hand, you can earn more than 1.5 million, I'm afraid there will be two more zeros added later.

Qin Xuebing thought that these people were all crazy. The madmen waited for the wolfskin to appear. Wolf skins are even more attractive to those of them whose lives are too precious to die. (To be continued)
