Chapter 134: Mad Dog Advanced Tactical Assault Knife
ProcΓ΄te's charity auctions don't have much of a good deal, they're basically jewellery and collectibles that are no longer needed, and of course there are autographs or art photos from early sports or Hollywood stars. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Lei fell in love with one of the artistic photos belonging to Marilyn Monroe, this set of art photos has a total of ten, all of which are masterpieces that have not been seen on the Internet in the previous life, and should have been taken by a very high-level photography master.
Wang Lei really wanted to take this set of art photos, and the starting price was not high, only 1,000 US dollars. Wang Lei estimated that it would cost up to $10,000 to shoot it.
If it is stored in 20 years, the price may increase dozens of times.
It's a pity that Zhou Yuqiang was sitting next to him, Wang Lei hesitated for a long time and was still embarrassed to raise a sign to ask for a price, so he could only watch this set of art photos being auctioned away by a white fat man who looked a little obscene for $9,000.
After auctioning off more than a dozen things, Wang Lei finally saw something he was interested in again, and he did not hesitate to raise his card and bid for it.
It was a combat knife, with a total length of 33 centimeters and a blade length of 22.5 centimeters, called the Mad Dog Advanced Tactical Assault Knife, which was issued by the American MadDog company.
Wang Lei saw this thing on the Internet in his previous life, and it is said to be the No. 1 knife in the world's top ten sabers, and the only knife that passed the brutal test of the US Navy SEALs in 92.
The knife is over 62 HRC hard, and the handle is made of a special material that is not publicly available, which can withstand 79,000 pounds of pressure, 1,000 volts, and point four or five caliber bullets, and will not be corroded by chemical solvents.
As for the blade, it is not only sharp and hard, but also extremely compressive strength. The SEALs tested the knife by holding the blade between a piece of wood and holding the handle of the 100-kilogram team in a pull-up motion.
This knife is the choice of top collectors, because there are so many collectors, so it is hard to find.
A director once sold his collection of Mad Dog Tactical Knives to raise money for a movie, and as a result, he raised $10,000.
Although Wang Lei is practicing boxing, it does not prevent him from liking to collect such a top-level tactical knife.
It is estimated that there is no man with a hot-blooded personality who will not like it!
This Mad Dog Advanced Tactical Knife was offered for auction by Procott, saying that it was a treasure specially made by MadDog on the company's 10th anniversary, and the quality was much stronger than other Mad Dog Tactical Knives, and the quantity was not much, and only thirty were circulated.
The auction price was $5,000, and Wang Lei did not hesitate to ask for $5,500.
This is the first time he has raised his cards to ask for a price, and he originally thought that everyone present would give him a face as a boxing champion and not compete with him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as his bid fell, someone immediately asked for 6,000 US dollars.
Wang Lei glanced at the guy who was bargaining with him a little annoyed.
But it was a white guy about his age.
What's the name of this white guy? It seems that Proctor had introduced him, but he didn't remember it.
Wang Lei thought about it for a long time and didn't think about it, so he simply ignored it and raised his sign again to ask for 6,500.
As if to go against him, the white guy immediately asked for seven thousand.
"Ten thousand!"
Wang Lei was a little angry and called a high price.
The white guy glanced at Wang Lei with provocative eyes, raised the sign again, and shouted: "Eleven thousand ......"
"Fifty thousand!" Before the white guy finished speaking, Wang Lei made another offer.
If you have the ability to fight with your brother, I don't believe you can be richer than your brother!
Wang Lei also glanced at the white guy with provocative eyes.
There were also a few guests present who were interested in this mad dog tactical knife, but as soon as they heard Wang Lei's bidding, they knew that he was determined to win, so they all dismissed the idea of bidding.
The white guy originally saw that Wang Lei's bid was so high, and his expression was a little hesitant, but when he saw Wang Lei's provocative eyes, he was immediately stimulated, and without saying a word, he raised his card again and called the price: "Fifty-one thousand!" β
"One hundred thousand!" As soon as the white guy's words fell, Wang Lei raised the price again.
The guests in the audience all closed their breath involuntarily.
$100,000 is already the highest price in tonight's charity auction.
Just asking for $100,000 for a saber, the Chinese kid is really not ordinary rich!
By the way, it seems that his appearance fee for a boxing match is as high as 20 million US dollars. And he is also the most famous screenwriter in Hollywood, writing a few scripts, investing in a comedy made him a net worth of 300 million US dollars.
With so much money, spending $100,000 on a saber is really nothing!
There are more losers than him!
For example, this white guy who bids with Wang Lei.
I saw that this white guy kept turning his head to look at Wang Lei, and after seeing Wang Lei's eyes revealing contempt and ridicule for him, his blood suddenly surged, and without saying a word, he raised his card and asked for the price: "200,000!" β
"Wang, he doesn't have that much money, he just wants you to bleed!" McKel, who was behind Wang Lei, observed the white guy's expression, and whispered in Wang Lei's ear.
Wang Lei understood, shrugged his shoulders, and said to Procott, who was personally the auctioneer on the stage: "Okay, since he likes this knife so much, I'll give it to him!" β
As soon as these words came out, the white guy was stunned.
"Hey, why don't you bargain, I'll give it to you if you bargain again!" The white guy looked at Wang Lei and said with Ai Ai.
"A gentleman doesn't take away the love of others, since you like it, this knife is yours, congratulations on getting it!" Wang Lei said indifferently.
"Ahh No, I don't want this knife, you're still ......"
"Why don't you still bid? Are you here to make trouble, or is someone who is here to deliberately inflate the price of the auction so that we will bleed? Wang Lei interrupted the white guy.
As soon as these words came out, most of the guests present looked at the white guy and suddenly looked at him unkindly.
It's good that these guests like to go to charity galas to brush up their character and reputation, but it doesn't mean that they like to be slaughtered like fools!
The white guy also realized that he had said the wrong thing, and immediately a cold sweat flowed down.
Procott, who was the auctioneer on the stage, had a sinking face, and his eyes were cold and he gave the man with glasses.
I saw the man in glasses step forward, grabbed the white guy's neck with an expressionless face, and lifted him out as if he were carrying a chicken.
No matter how much the white guy struggled, he couldn't break free.
"Guys, I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen. But please rest assured, there is absolutely no deliberate inflated auction price at today's charity auction, and I am sure the locals present know who Tommy's kid is. Of course, it was a mistake to let him come to the charity gala, and I won't let him enter this kind of occasion again in the future, please rest assured! β
After Procott apologized sincerely, he picked up the mad dog tactical knife on the table and walked in front of Wang Lei, saying, "Wang, I'm sorry to let Tommy's kid disturb your interest. I can see that you really like this knife, this knife is my collection, and since you like it, I'll sell it to you for the starting price of $5,000, how about it? β
This Procott is really a man, no wonder he can become the mayor of San Mateo.
Although Wang Lei is very rich, it does not mean that he likes to spend money in vain, and he can buy this special treasure Mad Dog Tactical Knife for 5,000 US dollars, so he is naturally very happy.
Without saying a word, he took out a check from his body, wrote down the amount, signed it, handed it to Procott, and confiscated the Mad Dog Tactical Knife.
touched the blade, weighed it again, and nodded: "Sure enough, it's a high-quality product, five thousand dollars is worth it, so you should do your part for charity, I hope Mr. Mayor can rebuild the mental hospital as soon as possible!" β
Procott's face twitched unnaturally, and there was a distressed look in his eyes.
This boutique mad dog tactical knife cost him $10,000 at the beginning, but he didn't expect it to be sold at half the price today.
Tommy, that bastard boy, really doesn't clean up!
He cursed a few words in his heart, but Procott still smiled on the surface, and said: "If you like it, there are a few treasures in my collection next, I hope they can still be in your eyes!" β
Wang Lei handed the Mad Dog Tactical Knife to Ston Buqi behind him, nodded and said, "Of course, if there is something I can look at, I will definitely not be stingy with bids!" β
Procott's cheeks twitched again and he turned back to the auction table.
The auction continues.
Next, a few things were auctioned, but unfortunately Wang Lei couldn't look at these things, so he never bid.
And Zhou Yuqiang, who was sitting next to him, was a spectator who purely accompanied him, and was not interested in anything.
Wang Lei was worried that Zhou Yuqiang was too boring, and planned to wait until the auction was over to take Zhou Yuqiang away.
Unexpectedly, when Procott took out the last auction item, Zhou Yuqiang's eyes lit up.
Wang Lei looked at the auction table a little stunned.
But I saw that Procott took out a Chinese purple sand teapot, which looked like an antique.
Wang Lei was not interested in antiques in his previous life, and he never understood why broken things hundreds of thousands of years ago would be auctioned for millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
Aren't those porcelain pottery just ancient bowls and bottles, not only are they not as beautiful and practical as modern bowls and bottles, but they are also very fragile.
Why can it be auctioned for hundreds of millions?
Those rich people are really idle, what do they do with spending so much money to buy a fragile porcelain collection?
If it comes to troubled times or the last days, it is not as valuable as a steamed bun!
Because he didn't understand, Wang Lei rarely paid attention to antiques in his previous life, but he knew a little about purple clay pots.
Because in his previous life, his uncle liked to drink tea very much, and he also loved to collect tea sets, cups and other things.
Wang Lei still remembers that when he was a guest at his uncle's house in his previous life, he saw that his uncle had collected a purple clay pot, and the treasure was like a woman's diamond.
The purple clay pot was bought by my uncle for more than 5,000 yuan, and it is said to be the work of the famous Gu Jingzhou.
Wang Lei once searched for Gu Jingzhou on the Internet, but was taken aback.
Gu Jingzhou, who was born in 1915 and died in 1996, made most of the purple clay pots that were auctioned for tens of millions of dollars, and the most expensive tea set was sold for more than 28 million.
Wang Lei was deeply shocked at that time.
The purple clay pot is just a tea set for making tea, and drinking the tea made in the purple clay pot can't strengthen the body or prolong life, why is it so valuable?
A hundred times more expensive than the house he bought in his previous life! (To be continued.) )
