Chapter 269: A Dazzling Array of Views [Asking for Subscription]
It's a comprehensive auction with everything from top-notch ingredients to food, antique cars that can be used for travel, expensive jewelry, and some treasures from Asia and paintings from Europe.
"Originally, the auction was going to auction the bull's eye meat of Japanese Wagyu, and the price of these ordinary Japanese Wagyu tenderloin in Europe and the United States is more than 200 US dollars per 100 grams, and more often money can't buy it, after all, Japan is restricting exports."
Chris took a deep breath, the pressure in his heart was much greater than Wang Hao's, "Dude, you must not let me down." I made a promise to the person in charge of the auction house and paid the deposit. β
"Don't worry, aren't we going to slaughter?" Wang Hao's mind is now thinking about the high price of Japanese Wagyu beef, he thinks he has made money by selling a cow for 30,000 Australian dollars, but there is a gap in comparison, how many grams of beef are used to calculate the price.
As soon as Chris waved, several workers immediately stepped forward and roped one of the beef cows, and then dragged it to the side of the trailer, ready to pull it directly to the slaughterhouse.
"Here's the brochure for the auction, you can also take a look at it, and buy something you like when the time comes." Chris handed him a beautifully crafted brochure with details of lots 1-100.
Yang Fan had never participated in such an auction, so he was very curious about it, he opened the brochure and flipped through it, only to see that each auction item had a clear photo, and the following was also introduced in Chinese and English.
"So intimate, there is actually an introduction in Chinese. It's really good, very well thought out. Wang Hao said with praise. He didn't understand some of the technical terms, and he was even more confused about writing in English. With the following Chinese is much more comfortable.
Chris smiled heartily and explained, "Man, I didn't make it, but the auction was specially written for you Chinese, after all, every year the auction is a time for Asia's rich to show their talents." A lot of the antiques in it belong to your country. β
This is true, China does not know how many cultural relics are overseas, not only the items when the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded China, but now there are also many tomb robbers who smuggle cultural relics ~ smuggled and sold overseas to make huge profits.
"In fact, most of these buyers in the auction are from Chinese mainland. There are a lot of them, and it's a bit surprising that they're not only buying Chinese art, but also bidding on European antique furniture. Although there are some Australian buyers in the market, they simply don't have enough money to compete with Chinese mainland buyers. β
This is not to say that there are no rich people in Australia, but these rich people generally collect European-style paintings and gemstones, and they don't like Chinese antiques very much, and the two sides do not form a competitive relationship.
Wang Hao was secretly shocked, and there was nothing wrong with letting him come up with money to buy pastures or buy calves and other practical things. But you can't spend money on things that you can only see but can't use.
Lot 1 is a pair of cloisonnΓ© enamel parrots from the Qianlong to Jiaqing periods of the Qing Dynasty, with a price tag of $50,000. But Wang Hao really doesn't know what else to do with this thing except to buy it and put it there, maybe his own precipitation is not enough, and he can't feel the background of these histories.
Beef cattle are dragged into the slaughterhouse. Wang Hao was curiously flipping through the brochure outside, and most of the 100 lots in it were Chinese antiques, including bronze pots from the Western Han Dynasty, peach-style aromatherapy furnaces from the Ming Dynasty, and Western ~ Tibetan bronze gilt immovable King Kong from the 16th century.
What interested him a little was the white jade lotus leaf-shaped brush wash from the Qing Dynasty. The ancients used to hold washed brushes, but the starting price of 100,000 Australian dollars made people hesitate. After all, the actual transaction price must be more than that.
After a quick glance, Wang Hao was slightly surprised by the two final lots. A piece of "Qing Qianlong Penglai Eight Immortals and Eight Treasures Pavilion Enamel Music Clock" looks very well preserved, with bright colors and very exquisite.
The lot is probably the most valuable Chinese antique at auction, with a price tag of $3 million already prohibitive.
But the last piece of Roy. Lichtenstein's Pop Art masterpiece "Woman in a Flower Hat" is even more impressive, with a direct price tag of 10 million Australian dollars, which is no longer within Wang Hao's affordability.
"When you look at these auction items, you know how rich other people are." Chris jokingly said, "You can't buy a few of these treasures in your life, but you still have a chance, brother, and you have already made millions at a young age." β
Wang Hao spread his hands, "It is estimated that millions of assets can't even enter the door of the auction hall here, these things are too expensive." β
"Who's to say it's not, there are too many rich people." Although Chris is already an executive of an Australian agricultural company, he is only a visitor to such an expensive auction, and occasionally auctions two bottles of red wine.
Not long after, the data of the slaughterhouse came out, Chris looked at the slaughtering data like a treasure, he hugged Wang Hao excitedly, and he didn't care about gender or anything at all.
"Hey, God forbid, we got the bet right! The meat quality of this Murray Gray Cow is so good, you see, the meat yield is very high, the beef that has reached level 12 has more than 70 kilograms, and the meat quality in the worst place is also above level 9! β
Chris was ecstatic, it was the first time he had seen such a high-quality beef cattle, as long as there were no hormones detected here, it could be sold, and there was no problem at all!
Excited, he took out his mobile phone and called the staff in charge of the ingredients at the auction: "Hey, Linda, it's me, Chris." The cattle have just been slaughtered, so you can come and test the quality of the meat, then choose the freshest part of it to keep and auction it. β
In comparison, Wang Hao is much calmer, and the breed after his baptism of magic is no longer as ordinary as the Murray Gray Cow, and it is already the best improved breed.
In addition, these beef cattle have grown up eating the best quality pasture grass in the golden pasture since childhood, and it is difficult to think that the meat quality is not fresh and tender. From their breed to the grass they eat, these are all mutated by the magic of the druids, and if they are not as good as Japanese Wagyu beef, they will be a disgrace to the druids.
After hanging up the phone, Chris rubbed his hands again, this time he did it right, as long as this auction can start the beef cattle brand of Wang Hao Ranch, then the remaining hundreds of cattle are all running Australian dollar bills!
"Hey, can I have a little request?" Wang Hao took out the ranch trademark he had made before, the small and delicate "cat with a golden eagle" had already passed the audit, and now the ranch is full of this thing.
"Tell me about it."
Wang Hao handed the logo to Chris, "Can you put the logo of our ranch on it later?" After all, this trademark represents the golden pasture, and it is also convenient to form brand awareness. β
Holding this small trademark in his hand and examining it carefully, Chris nodded and said with a smile: "Your trademark is really interesting, and it is very good." (To be continued......)
