Chapter 1597 The Most Commemorative Item (Three Watches, One Change)

"50,000 yuan, is there anyone who offers a higher price than 50,000 yuan? Is there anything else? Only 50,500 yuan, this exquisite, highly collectible and ornamental easter egg from the Romanov family in the era of Empress Catherine of Russia 260 years ago is yours, is there any? ”

"50,000 yuan for the first time!"

"50,000 yuan for the second time!"

"50,000 yuan, deal! Congratulations to Mr. Du of Sanjin Industrial Company, you got this easter egg at a price of 50,000 yuan, congratulations. ”

"Whoa......

The scene suddenly remembered a round of warm applause.

Unlike auctions in the general sense, there is no taste of life and death, everyone is "on the spot". Also, everyone is just meeting a few more friends in the name of charity, showing their strength, and proving that they have the strength to cooperate with others.

Everyone is a smart person, and they know this account in their hearts. Of course, everyone also understands that this first auction item is just a warm-up, and if they really have something they like next, or can take this opportunity to make friends with big names like Mr. Gu, Chairman Chen, and Mr. Lin, they don't mind spending some more money...... With the care of these big people, several times the money will be earned back in the days to come.

………………

Time passes in a piece of auction items, not only unconsciously, when the price of the auction items has gone all the way up, the starting price has been from the beginning of 15,000 yuan to 100,000 yuan, in 1995, the domestic auction market is actually far from the mature era, the starting price is 100,000 yuan of items, for ordinary people really deserve the "appalling" these four words, to know the way. Now it's 1995, although 10,000 yuan households are not as popular as in previous years, but it is still the envy of countless people, but now, 100,000 yuan is just a threshold for entry, and the final transaction price will be several times the starting price. These people present were the first people in this country to become rich.

"The following item participating in the auction is provided by Mr. Lin Hongfei," the auctioneer looked at the auction item provided by Lin Hongfei, well, a watch that looked backward and worn. The affection on the face, the gaze. It's like an artist looking at a piece of art that has been in love for a long time. As for who Lin Hongfei was, he didn't introduce it at all, and the people present didn't ask, if anyone asked this question stupidly, they wouldn't be eligible to appear in the Chang'an Club, "This auction item is an auction item with special commemorative significance." It's a watch, there's no doubt about it. ”

Nonsense! The people below couldn't help but curse in their hearts, and even a fool could tell that this was a watch.

Not only can you see that this is a watch, but also through the large projection screen at the back. You can also see that this is an old-fashioned watch, look at the scratches on it, the glass on the surface is messy, I don't know how many years it has been used, none of the bosses present with this kind of rag are willing to wear it, for no other reason, such a broken watch, it is not shameful enough to take it out, these bosses present, which one is not a bright Rolex?

Some people hope that this is a cherished watch, and if so, it is very collectible, but looking at the enlarged watch brand through the projection screen, they are disappointed: the English letters of the watch, Hamilton, are neither Rolex's rolex, nor Piaget's, Hamilton? Unknown miscellaneous brand list, right?

The auctioneer seemed to know what was going on in the hearts of these bosses he was facing, and smiled slightly, with a trace of deep contempt hidden in his eyes, "This is a special military watch for army officers provided by the American Hamilton Watch Company to the United States & senior military generals during World War II. However, the American watch brand founded in 1892 is popular in the United States for its precise and durable practical functions and its consistent rough, honest, innovative, bold and firm American design style, which has appeared in more than 300 Hollywood films, and is one of the most representative brands of American culture. ”

"One additional point I need to introduce to you here is the origin of this Hamilton watch: during the Second World War, Hamilton stopped the manufacture of civilian watches, focusing on the production of special watches for the United States Army, Navy and Air Force, and throughout the Second World War, the Hamilton watch factory provided the United States military and the Allies with a total of up to 5 million watches as timekeeping tools, and about 10,000 Hamilton marine chronographs experienced the baptism of the Second World War. The high-precision chronograph produced by the Hamilton Watch Company for mid- and high-ranking officers in the U.S. Army comes from the Korean battlefield. ”

Well? This is a U.S. military watch from the Korean battlefield? None of the people present were fools, and the news revealed by the auctioneer made the rich people who were still a little disappointed and drowsy before suddenly excited: Sure enough! What can be deliberately taken out by Mr. Lin must not be simple.

"That's right, this is not a top watch in the world, this brand can't even enter the ranks of the top ten watch brands in the world, but this is a watch with great historical significance and great collection value, but this is not the point I want to talk about today, the point is that this Hamilton military watch is the trophy captured by General Qin of the 15th Army of the Volunteer Army when he fought on the front line of Jiao Yifeng and Pu Dafeng."

Scare!

Although everyone has realized the extraordinary origin of this watch, they never imagined that it would have such a big origin! Who was the commander of the 15th Volunteer Army during the Korean War? That's the last Minister of Defense of the Republic! One of the most core leaders of the military of the republic.

Not everyone present knew who the Commander of the Dao Qin was, but it didn't matter, there were people around who knew the identity of the Commander of the Dao Qin, but after a while, the whole venue was full of gasping sounds. Everyone was frightened by the origin of this watch.

But the next moment, in addition to being shocked, everyone was curious: since this watch was a trophy captured by General Qin, how did it get into the hands of Lin Hongfei and Mr. Lin? I haven't heard that Mr. Lin has any friendship with Minister Qin's family.

"Hongfei, amazing!" Sister Rong looked at Lin Hongfei with a smile, how did this watch get into Lin Hongfei's hands, she could probably guess some, but when she thought of the origin of this watch so big, she couldn't help but be taken aback!

"Don't mention it," Lin Hongfei said with a wry smile, "What I mean is to take out the first motorcycle produced by our company for auction, Guoliang is not happy, I let him take care of this matter, who knows that Lu Dao has become like this." ”

"I see!" Sister Rong nodded, "If that's the case, that's understandable." ”

Although the Wang family does not have their own power in the military, Old Man Wang and Minister Qin are very good friends, and it is not strange that with the relationship between the two families, it is not strange to send a military watch of the US imperialist captured on the battlefield to the Wang family.

After returning to China, by chance, General Qin gave this watch to Wang Lao, and later after Wang Lao's eldest son, Deputy Secretary-General Wang, who was then Deputy Secretary-General of the Cabinet Office, began to work, Wang Lao gave this watch to Secretary-General Wang. Knowing that the bosses have a heart for charity, Secretary-General Wang is very happy, specially took out this treasured, very commemorative and historical Hamilton military watch, and now, I announce, the starting price of this Hamilton military watch is ......" The auctioneer knows very well what these rich people at the scene are thinking, and simply explained the reason why this Hamilton military watch will appear here, and then took a heavy breath and shouted, "200,000 yuan!" ”

He didn't even say how much each time the price would increase, because this kind of item, he couldn't say at all.

Gu Sheng's whole person trembled in fright: Didn't he send Lin Hongfei a piece of Hetian jade jade Ruyi, and let him use this jade Ruyi to participate in this auction? How did it become that this watch given to Old Man Wang by Minister Qin appeared on such a small scene? Lin Hongfei, Uncle Lin, Ancestor Lin, you roasted me on the fire!

The scene was quiet, and no one offered an offer.

200,000 yuan, of course, is just the most basic price, if anyone thinks that this watch can be bought with less than 7 figures, it is a slap in the face of Deputy Secretary-General Wang, but in the same way, this silence must not be allowed to continue, otherwise it will be more than a slap in the face.

The silence lasted for half a minute, and even the auctioneer began to tremble: if this watch was unauctioned, it would really become the world's No. 1 joke, why is there such a commemorative watch, and now no one is bidding?

"200,000! 200,000 for the first time, did anyone bid? ”

The silence at the scene made Gu Sheng completely sit on the wax, he didn't dare to delay any longer, nodded slightly to a boss next to him, and quietly raised a finger at the same time.

"1 million!" Receiving Gu Sheng's signal, this old man didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly raised the sign in his hand, "I'll give 1 million!" ”

Shh~~ The auctioneer breathed a long sigh of relief: someone finally made a bid.

He knew very well that in the auction of this kind of item, as long as someone made a bid, someone would keep bidding, but the first person was too bad. (To be continued......)
