Chapter 449: One Hammer Final Tone [Three Changes]
Every bidding in the auction is very exciting, some people are determined to win, one bite at a time to increase the price, at the beginning of the whole field is a card, the more to the back more tense and exciting, continue to increase the price of fewer and fewer people.
In the end, there may only be two people competing, but when the hammer is about to fall, a dark horse may suddenly come out, and there is a feeling of "praying mantis catching cicadas, and yellow finches are behind", which is very dramatic. Until the last minute, you never know who will spend it.
As the auction price continued to rise, Wang Hao and Lawrence glanced at each other and slowly put down their hearts. At least the price has come to the estimated price, and the task has been completed, which can be regarded as a good start.
As for who these two hundred kilograms of wool will be, Wang Hao is not very clear, he whispered to Su Jing: "The ones that are still being auctioned should be Hengyuanxiang, Givenchy and Burberry, and the rest of the brands are not moving, perhaps because they feel that the price is not high enough." Of course, more have already given up. ”
Su Jing felt quite novel, and she asked, "How do you know which companies are still bidding?" ”
"It took me a while to write down all the company rankings, and now I know how many numbers there are." Wang Hao explained with a smile, he looked at the numbers that were still soaring, and couldn't help but show a satisfied smile.
Now that the first lot has already channeled the emotions of the people, the participation will definitely be higher later, after all, some people want to monopolize the wool, and some people want to get the wool, which is bound to cause disputes.
As they spoke, the price had climbed to 890,000 Australian dollars, a figure far from breaking the record of the wool auction, but Wang Hao took a visual look at it, and now there are more than a dozen companies interested, plus Hengyuanxiang, who is constantly raising the price. Maybe it's really possible to get there.
The previous auction record was $1.2 million for 100 kilograms of wool, but now Wang Hao's auction results are 200 kilograms of wool, and the price must be at least 3 million Australian dollars to be able to compare with the previous price.
The problem is that the current price is only 950,000, and it is not easy to stand on the peak of 1 million Australian dollars, and it is tantamount to reaching 3 million Australian dollars. Unless a miracle happens.
Yang Kai looked at the seat in front of him, he could only see Wang Hao's head here, it was an extraordinary time, and he didn't want to contact him. In fact, now his important task is to maintain the record of Hengyuanxiang's highest price at the wool auction, 04 Australian auction was led by a veteran of the company, he is still a middle-level employee, and now it is finally his turn.
Want to become China's leader in the wool textile industry, Hengyuanxiang has been working hard. Even if you spend a lot of money to buy special wool in the eyes of others, that money is not enough for an advertising fee. After the sky-high price of wool was auctioned. Hengyuanxiang's fame in the world has risen sharply, from a Chinese company to a world company.
It's very difficult to hold a record, and in such an occasion, everyone knows that there will be a lot that breaks the record. Because Sotheby's needs this record, because Golden Ranch needs this record, because these big companies need this record!
To put it simply, this is a gimmick, but people all over the world love to see this kind of record-breaking gimmick. No one notices that wool is sold for the second highest price in the world. What others care about is the number one.
If you want to keep the world record, Yang Kai can only find a way to make a new record. Anyway, my company raised $20 million in liquidity for this auction, which is definitely enough.
"Gentlemen, there are only 220,000 sheep in Australia that produce wool below 15 microns, and most of them already have permanent owners, among the companies you are doing. The more than 5,000 top Merino sheep at Golden Ranch are expected to produce 50,000 kilograms of wool per year. ”
Billy hadn't been talking nonsense before, and now he only spoke after seeing the price upward momentum slow. Ownerless wool everyone wants. It is best to sign for ten years or eight years.
Billy looked at some of the people who were still hesitant, and he added fuel to the fire and said, "Golden Ranch is currently in the process of acquiring up up to 120,000 acres of its neighbor's ranch, and the acquisition negotiations are nearing completion. If the acquisition is successful, the Golden Ranch will expand from 20,000 acres to 140,000 acres. ”
According to the rancher Wang Hao and relevant animal husbandry experts after joint consultation, when the acquisition of the ranch was successful. The total number of sheep in Golden Pasture will expand to 20,000 in one year and 30,000 in three years! ”
Wang Hao has never announced the acquisition plan before, in order to make a sensation at this time.
Is 5,000 sheep attractive enough?
Of course, it's big, otherwise why would these world-famous companies come to Australia for auctions?
But what if we increase this number to 20,000 or 30,000? Will these companies still be able to sit still? Wang Hao doesn't dare to say 100% sure, but at least 80% of the company will fall into madness because of this.
Sure enough, after hearing this shocking news, the auction scene directly became noisy, and none of them expected such a result.
The price that was originally stuck in a slow growth is now climbing as quickly as a drug, 1 million! 1.02 million! 1.05 million! 1.1 million! 1.2 million!
The price increase of buyers is no longer just 110,000, it is simply more than the gesture, 100,000 and 100,000!
In just a few moments, the price was at $1.5 million, and more and more merchants were joining the fray, none of whom wanted to throw in the towel at the start of the auction.
Many people rushed to send the situation back on the spot, and there was no problem in buying millions of dollars of wool, so they let go one by one.
It was not the first time that Su Jing had felt the atmosphere of the auction site, but almost all auctions were held at the back, and there were fewer bidders. But now there were a full fifth of the bidders, and there were people holding up signs, and when she looked behind her, she could barely find any words.
Wang Hao didn't have much expression on his face, this was originally the biggest surprise he had prepared, but it was used up at the beginning of the auction. He believed in Billy's auction skills, and the chief auctioneer must have seen the record-breaking potential of the first batch of wool auctioned.
"Lawrence, I think the current auction method is too old, and it should be changed to a more high-tech way. For example, there is an electronic auction in front of everyone, so that you can directly enter the numbers, and you can't cope with the chaos now. ”
The happy white fat man shook his head, he also wanted to reform, but this is the tradition.
"No. 3 bid 2.1 million! No. 8 bid 2.25 million! ”
"$2.5 million, this is buyer number 17 from Paris."
"Not yet higher? Eh, from China Hengyuanxiang Group bid 2.6 million! ”
"2.8 million! No. 185 bids $2.8 million, which is the highest auction price so far, is there anything higher? ”
"$2.95 million at a time! Guys, let me tell you, another $50,000 could break the world's most expensive wool record, do any of you want to set a new record? ”
In response to Billy's words, it was Yang Kai, who raised the sign and added another 100,000 to it, becoming 3.05 million Australian dollars!
However, this is not over, a new round of war has begun, and no one is cowardly.
3.1 million, 3.15 million, 3.25 million! The price is rising, the new record has been broken, and now the focus is how many tens of thousands it can get in the end!
A lot of people have become rational, this is only the first lot, and there are 49 more in the back, there is no need to fight to the death at the beginning, so the price has become docile.
"No. 9 bid 3.45 million yuan. Did you pay 3.46 million yuan? 3.45 million yuan for the first time, 3.45 million yuan for the second time, 3.45 million yuan for the last time......" After the three quotations, Billy. Mayer pointed with one hand to the bidder who made the last offer.
He held the auction hammer in one hand, looked around the room for 5 seconds, and then slammed the hammer down, and the crisp sound of the hammer resounded throughout the audience.
Billy announced with a smile on his face: "Deal!" Congratulations, the 9th sold for $3.45 million, setting a new record of the century! ”
A tidal wave of applause rang out from inside the venue, and everyone was a participant in this record, and they were very honored. At the same time, everyone also knows that before the auction ends, it is still unknown how long this record will hold. (To be continued......)
PS: I'm sorry, there was a big problem with Xiaobao's personal life tonight, which led to the five more that I said today was not fulfilled, and I will make up for it later.
It's not easy to be an otaku who writes books, and I was ordered by my parents to ask me for a night, and I had to force me to go out and look for a job, which was quite disturbing.
