Chapter 444: Five and a Half Million Lunar Meteorites

The auction was held at 10 o'clock in the morning in a local star hotel in Haoyang, and some foreign bidders also came to Haoyang some time in advance, and many people basically lived in the hotel where the auction was held for convenience.

This made the manager of the hotel more sure of the idea of building a good relationship with the Yazang Auction House, and now because of this grand meteorite auction, the Yazang Auction House, which was already well-known in the country, has become a household name, and at the same time, it has also made Haoyang, the ancient capital of several dynasties, more famous.

The lunar meteorite, this time in the territory of China, its value is unimaginable, there are only more than ten pieces in the world, to be able to get one gram of it, it is definitely an exciting thing, and it is also a kind of capital to show off.

This time, the Yazang auction house announced that it will auction a meteorite sample of about ten grams, which is also the first public auction of lunar meteorites in the Chinese auction industry, even in the world, the number of lunar meteorite auctions is very rare, this is precisely because of the preciousness of lunar meteorites, so that the people who get it, as treasures, will not take it lightly to sell.

The owners of some auction houses in China were also shocked by the energy of this Yazang auction house, and after learning that the ownership of the lunar meteorite belonged to the mysterious presenter, they kept looking for connections to inquire about who the presenter was.

However, the officials who used to call them brothers and sisters either didn't know, or told them that it was a secret, and this Yazang auction house was able to get these ten grams of meteorite samples in such a short period of time, in addition to secretly lamenting that they did not have a good master, they could only watch the reputation of the Yazang auction house increase in a short period of time.

At half past nine in the morning, many of the three hundred people who participated in the meteorite auction came to the hotel conference room. With such a precious auction item as a lunar meteorite, how could they miss it, maybe if they missed it this time, they wouldn't have a chance at all next time.

After everyone was seated, the auctioneer walked out. Standing on the auction table, with a thick smile on his face, "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to this special auction of meteorites at Yazang Auction House, I believe that you should understand the value of meteorites, a meteorite is not only valuable for scientific research." There is also a very high collection value, which contains some elements that cannot be possessed on the earth, they are not like some objects on the earth, there are traces, their appearance is completely random, collecting meteorites. Not only can you enrich your collection, but you can also get a huge return, there was a collector who invested all his money in collecting meteorites, and in a few years, the value of his meteorites has increased fiftyfold. ”

"In this auction, we collected more than 30 meteorites of various types, among which the finale was the finale. It is also a sample of the two lunar meteorites that appeared in China, its value and significance, it is unimaginable, this may be the only two lunar meteorites in China in the next few decades, I believe you can't wait, now, let's start today's auction. ”

After the opening remarks of this auction house, the emotions of the people below have been mobilized, not only the auction of the lunar meteorite. In the Chinese auction market, the number of meteorite auctions is very small, and not any auction house can auction it, and it must be approved by the relevant national institutions, precisely because of the scientific research value of meteorites. This makes it very difficult to approve the auction of meteorites.

"We collected more than 30 meteorites in this auction, all of which are the best in meteorites, so you will definitely be worthwhile, the first lot, an iron meteorite weighing 80 grams, you must know that the meteorites that fell on the earth are basically from the asteroids between Mars and Jupiter, their types are roughly divided into three types, stone meteorites, iron meteorites and stone and iron meteorites, their appearance is different, with stone and iron meteorites being the most valuable, followed by iron meteorites, and stone meteorites are the lowest price."

"And this meteorite has also been certified by the International Meteorite Society, its naming and numbering is ......, its molten shell is relatively complete, there is no artificial section, and the weathering process is also very small, you can see their information and inspection report on the auction list that you put on your seat, so its starting price is 1,000 yuan per gram, and the total starting price is 80,000 yuan, and the price increase shall not be less than 1,000 yuan each time, starting now." The auctioneer briefly explained the information of this meteorite, and then announced the start of the auction.

In order to create a high-quality meteorite auction, Yang Qishen carefully selected these thirty meteorites from the meteorites collected from all over the country, all of which have been named by the International Meteorite Society, which can completely guarantee that they are real meteorites.

Chen Yi looked at the meteorite on the auction table, and then smiled slightly, after the meteorite on the moon, he had studied the meteorite information in depth, and the price that had not been certified by the meteorite society could be said to be a world of difference.

The price of stone meteorites is the cheapest, generally ranging from tens to hundreds, and iron meteorites have basically been far more than a thousand, as for the higher stone iron meteorites The basic price has exceeded three thousand, if it is witnessed and picked up, the value will be higher, and the meteorites occupy the highest value list, that is, Martian meteorites and lunar meteorites, their value will be based on the meteorite inside and outside, a comprehensive evaluation, ranging from thousands of yuan to hundreds of thousands of yuan, and among them, the lunar meteorite is even the most ordinary, The value is also generally more than 10,000 yuan a gram.

Basically, the few people in China who have a few grams of lunar meteorites are all bought back from abroad at a high price, and the value of those meteorites is far less than Chen Yi's two lunar meteorites.

Everyone looked at the iron meteorite in the stands, then opened the auction list, looked at the details on it, and raised the sign one after another, "This gentleman of one hundred and eight bid eighty-one thousand, do you have any friends who bid higher." ”

"Eighty-five thousand, this friend bid eighty-five thousand ......."

Now in China, there are many people who have started to collect meteorites, but the meteorite auction market is not sound, and now the meteorites auctioned by this Yazang auction house are certified by the International Meteorite Society, and they are iron meteorites, which makes it difficult for them to bear the collection in patience.

Compared with antique relics, the appreciation of this meteorite is very high, only a few minutes. The meteorite was raised to about 150,000 yuan, and finally sold for 170,000 yuan.

As the auction progressed, meteorites of higher and higher value continued to appear, and among them, rare varieties such as olivine iron meteorite, and the shell of peridot. It had been cut open, revealing an olive-sized yellow crystal inside, which looked as dazzling as a gemstone.

The olive meteorite is the most valuable variety of stony-iron meteorites, composed of forty minerals and containing eighteen elements, which can be said to be an extremely precious sample of aliens.

Because of its beauty. As a result, many people are crazy, like the yellow crystals like gemstones, one by one in the stone, it looks more beautiful than diamonds, and its starting price has reached 7,000 yuan a gram, a total of 100 grams. The starting price is 700,000 yuan.

In the end, the transaction price of this rare olive meteorite reached an astonishing three million, far exceeding the market price, so that everyone present couldn't help but sigh that the era of meteorite collection has come.

After the lunar meteorite appeared in China, there was non-stop news. Almost everyone became interested in meteorites, and the price of meteorites rose again.

Looking at these pieces of meteorites, Chen Yi did not use identification techniques on any of the meteorites, the reason was just that he had followed Yang Qishen in the two days before the auction, and saw more than 30 precious meteorites in the warehouse of the auction house and identified them.

After reading it, all Chen Yi had in his heart was a feeling, that is, colorful. There are many kinds of things on the earth, and the vast outer space, the treasures that exist are probably far greater than the earth.

Finally, after the auction of the olive meteorite. Coming to the final lot, everyone held their breath and prepared for the precious lunar meteorite, which they had only seen on TV before, but today, they were able to see the lunar meteorite here in person, and still have a chance to get it.

It's just that the auctioneer didn't rush to take out the meteorite, "Everyone, the preciousness of the lunar meteorite, I have already said before, I believe you can also understand its value, in order to get this lunar meteorite, this auction house spent a long time and energy, to be able to let it meet you, get it, you will get the most valuable and meaningful meteorite in the world, because it is a sample of the two meteorites in China, now let us use applause to welcome this lunar meteorite, their appearance, Let us get rid of the history of lunar meteorites, and because of this sample, it proves the authenticity of lunar meteorites, and their significance is unimaginable. ”

Under the applause of everyone, a small tempered glass box was taken out, and what was stored inside was a small lunar meteorite, which looked plain, but it continued to exude a glass luster, and under the light, it seemed to be really like the moon.

Compared with the previous olive meteorite, it can be said to be very inconspicuous, but its scientific research value and collection value, as well as the rarity of Cheng dΓΉ, are far more than the olive meteorite.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is precisely because of this meteorite that one of the meteorites of Huaxia has been proven, it was taken from the second meteorite, please tell me, what is the name it was given......" The auctioneer shouted loudly to everyone with this small glass box in his hand.

"Fengyang No. 2." All the Chinese people present couldn't help shouting, the news of the TV station let them know about the lunar meteorite, and also knew the history of the meteorite in Huaxia, and there was no lunar meteorite, which made everyone have a strong sense of honor for these two secondary lunar meteorites, just like Huaxia successfully tested the first atomic bomb and successfully launched the first satellite.

"Yes, Fengyang No. 2, the first lunar meteorite named after our Chinese characters, its preciousness, you can imagine, and maybe our auction house will only have this opportunity to auction the lunar meteorite, and you also have only one chance to get this lunar meteorite sample of the second occurrence in China, get it, I believe you will not be disappointed."

"It's just that the mysterious meteorite presenter has promised that except for the two samples that prove the authenticity of the meteorite, the two lunar meteorites will never be put up for auction, and the other one, we didn't get, and this one is also what we have worked so hard to get, so they are absolutely unique."

The auctioneer said very passionately, and then said loudly to everyone: "I announce that this lunar meteorite weighing about 10.3 grams, the starting price per gram is 80,000 yuan, and the total starting price is 800,000 yuan. ”

As soon as the auctioneer's voice fell, many people couldn't wait to hold up their signs and shout their prices, "This gentleman on the 30th bid 850,000 yuan, and this lady on the 83rd bid 900,000 ......."

The price of the lunar meteorite auction exceeded one million in less than three seconds, but at this moment, most people were holding signs excitedly, and those who did not bid were not waiting, but waiting for a suitable opportunity.

I finally came to the auction house to participate in this rare meteorite auction, how could I miss this lunar meteorite of great significance.

Seeing such a hot bid from everyone, Chen Yi smiled with a sigh, sure enough, meaning is the root of value, his second lunar meteorite, the bid of the International Meteorite Society, is only 20,000 US dollars a gram, and 20,000 US dollars, about 120,000 yuan, the price of buying it for scientific research institutions is also this price, more than 400 grams, bought 55 million yuan, although the starting price is far less than this price, but the starting price is not equal to the final transaction price.

The auction house lowered some hot lots below the market price in order to provoke more people to bid**, just like a hundred yuan, and ninety-nine yuan nine, I am afraid that most people will buy the item that is only a dime less.

"One million eight million, this gentleman of the fifty-fifth bid one hundred, two million, this gentleman bid two million......" only a minute later, the price of the meteorite exceeded two million yuan, one gram reached 200,000, the competition for the lunar meteorite did not end here, it was still fierce, the auctioneer has said clearly, this may be the only Chinese lunar meteorite that can be put up for auction, its significance, although it is not as good as those lunar samples retrieved by the former Soviet spacecraft, But it goes far beyond the significance of ordinary lunar meteorites.

Put it in the collection room, when others see it, tell that this is the second lunar meteorite in China, which is definitely a thing that makes people envious and jealous.

"Four million, this gentleman bid four million, four million, is there a higher bid, four million two hundred thousand, four million five million, this gentleman bid four and a half million, five million, five million, this gentleman of the hundred bid five million, is there a higher bid......"

About ten minutes of time gradually passed, and the value rose from 800,000 to 4 million, and some people thought about it for a long time, and gradually gave up the bidding, until now, there are only a few collectors who are very confident in the appreciation of this meteorite, and finally, the price reached 5 million, and everyone on the scene stared at this meteorite tightly, wanting to know what its final transaction price was.

"Five million for the first time, five million for the second time, five and a half million, this gentleman who just raised the price of 500,000 at one time bid again, five and a half million, the first time...... Deal. When five million was about to be shouted for the third time, a middle-aged man who had bid before raised his card again, raising the price to 500,000 at a time, and finally, he auctioned a sample of the two meteorites that appeared in China at a price of 5.5 million.

For this price, many people are only a little surprised, but not too surprised, because this lunar meteorite is very significant, and the auction house has indicated that the meteorite presenter will not auction meteorites other than two samples, even if another sample is auctioned, then each lunar meteorite sample is unique.
