(Thanks to the friends who love to sleep the big devil, violet ~ Qianqian, Ren Yijie, sheep breed for their encouragement, thank you for the double encouragement of the book city channel Miss the road and companions, and the encouragement of the monthly pass that mediocrity disturbs yourself)

This year's temperature is indeed colder than usual, and the sky is still a little overcast after arriving in New York.

"Mr. Andy, I think today's auction will be a success, there are many people who are interested in coming in person, and there are many people who plan to bid through the guò network." Briggs said with a smile after receiving Liu Yunxuan and them.

Nowadays, the Internet is very developed, and there are many old customers who do not have much time to participate in the on-site bidding, so in today's auctions, there are a lot of transactions on the Internet every year.

Of course, you don't just log in to the Internet or make a phone call to bid, you first have to verify your ability to participate in the auction through Sotheby's.

"The white truffles are all in the car behind us, I wonder how your auction order is arranged this time?" Liu Yunxuan asked with a smile.

"In the past, we would put the most valuable lots up for auction at the end. This time, though, we're going to adjust the order, and the biggest white truffle will be the first lot. Briggs said.

"Because this is the largest white truffle ever discovered, it can be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records. And because the proceeds from the auction of this white truffle will also be used for charity. ”

"If this white truffle achieves an impressive auction result, it will also have a big impact on the auction price of those white truffles behind you."

This is also the result of their careful study and agreement after they go back. Anyway, this auction of white truffles is also an additional auction, so let's have a different one.

Why are the prices of auctioned products often very high, much higher than the market price? One is because of the bidding, and the other is because of the atmosphere of the scene.

Many people were set off by the atmosphere of the scene, and when they came, they thought of the highest bidding price. It may also arch upwards.

"Okay, you are experts in this, since this arrangement, there must be a certain amount of truth, anyway, I'll wait for the evening to collect the money." Liu Yunxuan said with a smile.

There have been two auctions for their own products, beef cattle in the early days and black truffles in the first two years. The results of each auction are good, and they make a lot of money.

If he hadn't been so confident in his white truffles, he wouldn't have chosen to contact Sotheby's for auction sales.

There are also a lot of people in Liu Yunxuan's group, and many of them can be regarded as heavyweights in New York.

Needless to say, Charlie and Robert, as the boss and financial director of the head office of the Pastoral Company, these two have had a lot of influence in the past two years. In addition, Liu Yunxuan and Kroenke, two rich people who are not often on the news, appeared, and the reporters who were waiting here early cheered and cheered.

All sorts of questions followed, but the most frequently asked questions were about the production of white truffles. Because these media didn't even receive a little bit of rumors, people quietly got it.

This is a white truffle. It's not black truffles, there are still some black truffles in the United States. Now that this Andy is actually making white truffles in his ranch again, how can he not make these media crazy.

However, Liu Yunxuan didn't have time to answer their questions, just arrange for Jack to deal with it here, otherwise these reporters can entangle you here and not move.

Although there were a lot of people who came to participate in the auction this time, after all, this was a single white truffle auction, not a large-scale spring auction or autumn auction, so Sotheby's opened a small hall here.

Otherwise, the people who came would not even be able to sit in the hall. It seems cold and deserted, and it can't bring out the atmosphere.

Liu Yunxuan: They were just pinching the time to come over. There were already a lot of people sitting in the current venue, and those who knew him or Kroenke were also greeting each other.

From walking into the venue to the seats they reserved, the distance along the way showed the gap between Liu Yunxuan and Kroenke.

I can't help but say that the pastoral company has not been popular recently, and a lot of things have happened this year, and it is often in the news, but it is still incomparable with the heritage of Kroenke, an old rich man.

People along the way. The people who greeted each other never stopped. If it weren't for the fact that the auction was about to start, there would be some people who would want to come and talk.

You can't get angry about this, it's not something you can decide with how much money you have now, or no matter how much money you have, you don't have that qualifications and connections.

"Ladies and gentlemen. Our first lot this time was the 2,130-gram King of White Truffles in our brochure. Before the start of filming, there will be people from Guinness Company who will weigh them on site and record them. Seeing that the time was up, the auctioneer walked up to the stage and said.

As his words fell, the curtain around him flipped over, revealing the largest white truffle. After seeing this white truffle, the people below also talked about it.

Everyone is a lover of white truffles, and a few days ago a white truffle weighing 1890 grams was found in the Alba region, which caused a stir at the time, thinking that it was the biggest. It didn't take long for a bigger piece to pop up.

The certification personnel of Guinness Records, after carefully weighing the white truffle, directly took pictures and issued a certificate, and now this white truffle is a well-deserved king of white truffles.

When he was in Huaxia, Liu Yunxuan heard a sentence that he didn't know that he had little money until he went to Pengcheng, and he didn't know that he was a small official until he didn't go to the capital. Coming to the auction site this time, Liu Yunxuan can be regarded as seeing the purchasing power of the rich here.

Less than three minutes after the auction began, the price of the white truffle had already reached $1.12 million, and the price was still rising.

"Fat brother, what level do you say you have to go to spend more than a million dollars just to eat a bite of truffles?" Li Xinyu asked in a low voice to the fat man sitting next to him.

"Hey, in this world, there is no shortage of rich people who lack everything. It's just the beginning, and there are still a lot of rich people who haven't made an offer, and those people are waiting for the price to be about the same. The fat man shook his head and said helplessly.

He is in a similar mood to Liu Yunxuan, this time he took the opportunity to gamble on horses, he can be regarded as a successful multimillionaire, and he belongs to tens of millions, and he was still a little proud.

But when I got here, I was hit, and there are too many rich people. In order to eat truffles, people spend more than one million dollars without blinking, even if they are tired to death, they are reluctant to spend so much money.

"I'm still worried that this white truffle won't be able to sell for a price, it seems that Bai is worried, and there are still many people who fall in love with it." Kroenke also whispered to Liu Yunxuan.

The white truffle he estimated in his heart was about $1.5 million, and after the two of them talked for so long, it had soared to $1.4 million, and there were people bidding through the Internet and telephone, which was a matter of minutes to break through 1.5 million.

Liu Yunxuan nodded happily. He didn't expect the price of this truffle to soar so quickly, which can also be said to be his own product, which has been recognized by people in terms of quality.

The quotations continued until they broke through $1.6 million, and then began to slow down. And at this time, it is time for the fat man to say that the rich people will make a move.

This can be seen from the magnitude of the price increase, in the early stage, it jumped up according to the minimum standard of 1,000 US dollars per price increase, and with the sale of these people, it was directly 30,000 or 50,000 yuan to go up.

Although the process was slow, and sometimes the auctioneer would not increase the price until the second price was sung, but with such a simple bid, the truffle had already exceeded two million dollars.

It's also interesting to say. After more than 2 million US dollars, the two bidders were not present, one was by phone and the other was on the Internet.

And the people at the scene were also very happy to listen to the auctioneer announce the offer of these two people, and they really wanted to see who the big foodies among these two rich people were.

"Two million thousand, two million one hundred thousand , two million three hundred thousand...... 2,300,000 for the second time, 2,300,000 for the third time. Congratulations to bidder No. 079 for winning the king of white truffles for $2.3 million. As the auctioneer's bidding ended and the auction hammer fell, the final price of the white truffle was announced.

"Oh my God, Xuanzi, two million and three hundred thousand, how much does it cost to eat one bite? That's a million kilograms. The fat man listened to the final offer and said dumbfounded.

As soon as this transaction price came out, not only the fat man was shocked, but the people on the scene applauded the bidders on the other side of the phone.

The size of this white truffle set a record for the weight of a single truffle. And its auction price also set a record.

Of course, this record is somewhat watery, after all, it is charity, just like the black truffle at the beginning. But in any case, this is also a real record, and it will be published directly in the Guinness Book of Records.

And the fat man's words were annihilated in this warm applause, which made the fat man angry enough.

You said that you should applaud earlier, but you have to applaud again after a while, and you are afraid that others will lower your voice. But as soon as he opened his mouth, this applause rang out, isn't this deliberately against himself?

"Fatty, what did you just say?" After waiting for the applause to subside, Liu Yunxuan tilted his head and asked.

The helpless fat man had no choice but to repeat what he had just said in a whisper, because the auction of truffles between 500 grams and one kilogram had already begun on the stage.

"This thing can't be taken seriously, the real white truffle auction price depends on the next auction, so as to measure the price of our white truffle." Liu Yunxuan shook his head and said.

He wasn't carried away by the sky-high auction price, and the next thing was his income. (To be continued......)
