Chapter 121: Fame and Fortune (I)
Sanyou Yangzheng opened his mouth to let Kan Youchang fall the hammer, and as an auctioneer, he naturally had no reason to shirk. Kan Youchang glanced at Jin Tae-woo, and saw that his face was green, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Why is this so difficult!
Kim Tae-woo didn't expect Sanyou Yangzheng to play such a hand. He saw Sanyou Yangzheng's calm appearance before, and thought that he was determined to win, so he raised the price so high. Now that he has lifted a stone and shot himself in the foot, Kim Tae-yu is a dumb person who eats Coptis chinensis, and he can't tell if he suffers. At this time, he was worried about where to borrow the extra millions of dollars.
"Mr. Kim Tae-woo bid 25 million, is there any price increase?"
Kan Youchang asked as usual. At this time, he very much hoped that someone would continue to bid so that the current crisis could be resolved. Sanyou Yangzheng and Kim Tae-woo are both international friends to Kan Youchang, who organized the Lan Fair, and he doesn't want to offend either of them.
It's a pity that no one in the venue can hear President Kan's heart, and even if someone hears it, I'm afraid they won't throw money into it. Because the price of this vindictive spirit now obviously exceeds the value of the orchid itself. All Lan You present were waiting for Kan Youchang to drop the hammer.
Kan Youchang saw that no one responded, so he had to reluctantly continue: "Twenty-five million once...... 25 million twice...... Two thousand five ......"
"Twenty-five million and one dollars!"
Just before Kan Youchang was about to drop the hammer, Sanyou Yangzheng spoke again. According to the auction rules, the price increase of the special gold medal orchid shall not be less than one-tenth of the reserve price, that is, the price increase shall not be less than 50,000 yuan each time. But at this time, Sanyou Yang was raising the price by one yuan, but no one laughed at him for being stingy, and no one accused him of breaking the rules. Everyone present was shocked by his bearing and methods.
At this time, everyone understood that from the very beginning, Sanyou Yangzheng was determined to get this pot of orchids, and this has never changed. He seemed to be going to push the boat down the river to make Kim Tae-woo deflated, but in fact he didn't really plan to give the flowers to Kim Tae-woo, he just wanted him to bear some psychological pressure and learn some lessons.
Kan Youchang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Sanyou Yangzheng's offer. The two sides were able to have this result without fighting, Kan Youchang was already content. As for whether the increase of one yuan broke the auction rules, he didn't think about it at all.
"Twenty-five million and one dollars at a time! Twenty-five million and one dollars twice! Twenty-five million and one dollars three times! Deal! Congratulations to Sanyou Yangzheng for photographing the most rare orchid Dacangshan Strange Butterfly at this Orchid Fair! ”
Kan Youchang, who didn't want to make any more extraneous branches, almost spoke at the fastest speed and announced the deal. In fact, he doesn't have to be so nervous at all, Jin Taeyu, who has just experienced a mood roller coaster, has already become a frosted eggplant, and he doesn't dare to argue with Sanyou Yangzheng anymore.
The six special gold medal orchids were all sold for a high price of more than one million, and the last one was auctioned for a high price of 25 million, which made the orchid friends in the venue in an uproar, and they were all talking about the twists and turns of the auction process just now.
Kan Youchang stood in front of the auction table and looked at the excited Lan You in the audience, and his heart was also very excited. Although today is the first day of the Jiangcheng Orchid Fair, Kan Youchang already has a feeling of the complete success of the Orchid Fair. With today's auction results, it is difficult for the Jiangcheng Orchid Fair to succeed this time.
"President Kan, the reporter asked if you could invite the two sides of the transaction to come to the stage to take a group photo and answer a few questions." A staff member ran to the stage and asked for instructions.
"Of course! That's a good thing! Kan Youchang nodded when he heard this, then knocked on the auction hammer heavily and said, "Everyone, please be quiet." I said it before the auction. The Lanchang Fair is mainly trading, supplemented by evaluation. Although the special gold award orchid is beautiful, it can only be regarded as the second protagonist at the orchid fair, and the real protagonist is the owner of these orchids, that is, the two parties to our auction today. Now welcome the original owner and new owner of these six pots of special gold award orchids to take a group photo on stage. ”
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
As soon as Kan Youchang's words fell, the audience burst into warm applause. Everyone wants to see who is spending money today, and who is getting rich overnight.
"Leizi, don't be stunned, let's go!" Zhong Huan stood up from the chair and found that Peng Lei was still in a daze.
"I'm going to go on stage again?" Peng Lei is obviously a little stage frightened.
"Of course! You are also one of the sellers, so naturally you want to make a show. Isn't it just a group photo, what are you afraid of? Zhong Huan was almost like a doping at this time, and he was not stage frightened at all.
"Big brother, I'm not prepared at all. What if you want to make a testimonial or something after you go up? Peng Lei is not good at words, and what he is most afraid of is making a speech in front of everyone.
"Don't worry! You weren't prepared, and neither were others. Won't let you say much. If you really want to say it, you will advertise your company. It's a great opportunity to show your face. Yin Jia didn't participate in the Lan Fair once or twice, so he pointed out a few words to Peng Lei.
Peng Lei heard Yin Jia say this, and he let it go. In order to make the company famous, he is willing to let Peng Lei do anything.
Here, Zhong Huan and the six of them walked to the front of the stage, and the six gold owners who auctioned the orchids over there also walked onto the auction table. After the twelve people came to the stage, they first shook hands with each other and said hello, and then stood in two rows on the left and right under the guidance of the staff, and Kan Youchang was arranged to stand in the middle to distinguish the two sides of the auction.
The order of the people on the stage is exquisite, not according to the height of the person, nor according to the age, but according to the transaction price. So standing on both sides of Kan Youchang are Zhong Huan and Sanyou Yangzheng, and next to them are Wang Haosheng and Jin Taiyu. And so on, the person with the higher transaction price stands in the middle, and the person with the lower price stands on both sides.
"Click~Click......"
When the reporters and the staff at the venue saw that everyone was standing in line, they pressed the shutter of their cameras one after another, and took pictures for a while before stopping.
"Hello Mr. Sanyou! I am a reporter for the Jiangcheng Evening News. Today, you won the auction of Mr. Zhong Huan's Dacangshan Strange Butterfly at a sky-high price of 25 million, breaking the historical transaction record of the Lanshan Fair, what do you think? After the photo was taken, a reporter couldn't wait to start asking questions.
"I don't have much thought about breaking the auction record. I just like Mr. Zhong's seedling Cangshan Strange Butterfly very much, and I want to buy it, that's all. As for the price, whether it will break the transaction record, I have never considered these questions. Now that I've bought orchids, I can say that my wish has come true, so I'm very happy. ”
Sanyou Yangzheng's tone was still calm, but everyone present felt a domineering aura rushing towards him. What is a local tyrant? This is called a local tyrant. Buy as long as you like, without considering the price at all.
"Hello Mr. Zhong! I'm a reporter for Tokai Daily. The six pots of special gold medal orchids participating in the auction today are all from Donghai City, and your Dacangshan Strange Butterfly has set a record for the auction of the Orchid Fair, which can be said to have won glory for our Donghai City. As far as we know, although the owners of these six pots of orchids are different, they are all from the same company, that is, Huanlei Flower Company, and you are one of the shareholders of the company. Did you raise these orchids alone? ”
The female reporter from Donghai City had just arrived by plane. Originally, the media in Donghai City did not pay much attention to the Jiangcheng Lan Fair. It started out as an amateur reporter on the Orchid Association's website. It wasn't until Zhong Huan and their seven orchids won the Special Gold Award in advance that they attracted the attention of the mainstream media in the East China Sea and sent reporters.
"Of course not! I don't have that much ability. As for who cultivated the orchid, this is a trade secret and I cannot disclose. I can only say that these orchids are indeed from our company, and there will be precious orchids that will be cultivated in the future. ”
Although Zhong Huan has recently made up some knowledge of orchids, he is still far from the experts and professors present, even compared with ordinary orchid friends. There are so many experts and few orchids who can cultivate new orchids, Zhong Huan doesn't dare to take the credit for cultivating orchids on his own head, otherwise others will definitely reveal their stuffing as soon as they ask him for advice.
"Hello Mr. Wang! I'm a reporter for Orchid.com. Today, your Grand Gold Coast fetched $15 million. How much did you spend on this pot of orchids from Mr. Zhong's company? A reporter asked Wang Haosheng.
"I didn't spend a penny!"
Wang Haosheng is not a hit, and he is a blockbuster. As soon as he spoke, the scene was in an uproar. Not a penny spent is too far away from fifteen million.
"Wang Xianxian, why did Mr. Zhong give you this pot of orchids?" The reporter from Orchid.com asked.
"Not only me, but also President Yin, President Gong, and this Miss Su's orchids are all provided free of charge by Mr. Zhong Huan and Mr. Peng Lei. If you listen to the names of the two of them, you will know that Huanlei Flower Company is their industry. In other words, these orchids are provided to us by the company for free, and as for why, there is a small story in this. ”
Wang Haosheng paused, and after satisfying everyone's appetite, he continued: "Originally, Xiao Zhong wanted to participate in the Lanchang Fair in the name of the company, but he got the news relatively late, and it was too late to sign up again, so he could only sign up in his own name. However, the rules of the Orchid Fair are that one person can only choose one pot of orchids, which can make Xiao Zhong embarrassed, because the six pots of orchids in his hand are all high-quality, and it is a pity to give up any pot. President Yin and I, as the heads of the Donghai Orchid Association, attach great importance to these orchids, and we all support Xiao Zhong to participate in the Orchid Fair, so we came to give him a head. ”
Wang Haosheng is the best at hype, and a few words and a small story attract everyone's attention. not only helped Zhong Huan's company advertise, but also reflected the strong support of the Donghai Lan Association to Lanyou, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone. This is much better than Zhong Huan's straightforward advertisement.
It is said that getting people to help participate in the Lanchang Fair is a bit of an opportunistic attempt to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules, and it is not something that can be said in public. But Wang Haosheng told it openly as a story, but people couldn't make mistakes. Especially when the six orchids have won awards, it makes people feel that Zhong Huan is understandable to do this.
