Chapter 1291: 10.7 billion and 9 billion
At this time, it was just in time for the auction of the Epoch Stone to begin.
Dialysis of this huge piece of gold revealed that it was not a pure piece of gold, but also contained 365 precious stones, including opals, sapphires, rubies and diamonds, so it was worth far more than gold should be.
The reserve price of this Anno Stone is $350 million, which is far more than the value of gold.
The guests present were all world-class figures invited by Athena Sauer, including many wealthy and top collectors, and many of them looked at this huge gold nugget and couldn't help but wipe the corners of their mouths, for fear that their saliva would overflow.
The bidding price of the Epoch Stone is very standardized, and the price is raised every 10 million, so that malicious bidding is avoided.
An American collector shouted 400 million directly, and immediately after, a familiar face immediately shouted 450 million.
Jiang Chen saw that this person was actually the money empire that had pursued Huang Siyu at the Asian Supreme Championship but was politely refused.
The Money Empire is a member of the royal family of Qatar, worth tens of billions, and he is determined to obtain this stone of the era.
Then, Jiang Chen saw a familiar face again, this person was actually in the same group as the Money Empire at that time, and the Bhutanese player royal family was also a nobleman, both of whom were top-notch rich and handsome, and they were definitely not comparable to those brain-dead people who trotted to death on the five rings in China.
It's just that although Huang Siyu has a good relationship with the two of them, these two people got married after that game, because when the two of them were competing, the royal family used summons.
Therefore, these two people will be pinched when they meet.
So, at the beginning, the auction was quite harmonious, but later, it became a battle between these two guys, and the price was higher and higher.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but turn his face sideways and laughed sinisterly, while Mi Lan was also laughing, and shamelessly showed two snow-white little fangs.
Athena Sauer turned her head with a smile and said in a low voice, "700 million, the expert estimate of this big gold is 460 million US dollars, and now it's okay, it's a big deal." ”
"Sister, you can't say that, this is a cultural relic, a cultural relic, you know, this is like Song porcelain, 20 years ago, a piece of Song porcelain sold for 60 million at most, but now, a top Song porcelain can be sold for 600 million, this thing, left in the hand is appreciated, 700 million, too cheap."
"Cut, you profiteer, sister is too lazy to bird you."
Mi Lan's eyes flashed with stars, "It's a little higher, as long as it reaches 1 billion, I'll treat you to supper tonight." ”
"Cut, you little pick, sister is too lazy to bird you."
"Sister, we were wrong."
"Actually, I want to say that this piece is worth 1.5 billion."
"......" Jiang Chen and Mi Lan were speechless for a while.
But very coincidentally, in the crowd, someone really raised his snow-white little hand and said in a firm voice, "1.5 billion." ”
Athena Sauer burst out laughing on the spot.
The person who made this bid was actually the Divine Blade.
This price discouraged both the royal family and the money empire, so they could only withdraw from the competition, and no one present dared to fight anymore.
So, for $1.5 billion, the Divine Blade happily took the Stone of the Epoch Age.
Don't think that the Divine Blade has made a loss-making deal, in fact, relying on this epoch stone, this beautiful little girl has given herself a live advertisement, which has greatly enhanced the image of her company, after the auction, many world-class figures rushed to get in touch with her, and even signed a series of orders with her, adding a high performance to her Hill shopping network, of course, this is a later story, not to mention for the time being.
Subsequently, Athena's star eyes were also bought by the royal family for an unbelievably high price of $150 million, in fact, the pearl itself is not worth this level, but the commercial value and advertising value far exceed this astronomical amount.
The last to appear is the star of this exhibition, Magnificent Heart.
This huge diamond, named after the capital of the magnificent camp in China, has a starting price of a staggering 970 million US dollars, and this is the most conservative estimate given by experts, this huge gem-quality diamond in terms of color and quality, has far surpassed the "Cullinan" diamond found in 1905 from the Premir diamond mine in South Africa, known as the "Star of Africa", is the largest diamond found so far, there is no one, the total weight of the Star of Africa at the time of discovery is 3106 carats, And the total weight of this magnificent heart has reached a staggering 17,171 carats, compared to the grandfather of the magnificent heart, the star of Africa can only be regarded as a gem grandson.
The royal family and the money empire once again intervened in the competition, but the two of them were relatively conservative this time, according to the auction regulations of this gem, each price increase must not be less than 30 million, so the royal family only called 1 billion when they came up, while the money empire only called 1.1 billion.
Subsequently, the CEO of a well-known American company bid 1.5 billion yuan to complete the sealing of this gem, but was shouted 1.8 billion by a plantation boss from Southeast Asia, this person is actually Zheng Tiannan, Li Jing's father.
However, just after he finished shouting, on the other side of the exhibition, a white-haired old man raised his arm, "2.5 billion." ”
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to this white-haired old man, Jiang Chen fixed his eyes and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that beside the old man, there were two beauties on the left and right, one was the best Lori, and the other was the perfect royal sister, there is no doubt that these two people are Li Zi and Sun Li, and the old man needless to say, it is Pang Jianguo.
What happened next was even more unbelievable, beside Pang Jianguo, a hard-skinned middle-aged man stood up, and he raised three fingers, "3 billion." ”
This middle-aged man is not an outsider, he is actually Jiang Chen's godfather Xu Wenshan, the head of Xu's Real Estate Group.
Jiang Chen's whole person is almost Sparta, it is difficult to do it, this gem will eventually fall into the hands of his own people.
Xu Wenshan's words proved his conjecture, "Hehe, world-class gems should stay in the arms of world-class countries." ”
Pang Jianguo smiled leisurely, "That's right, so, 3.5 billion." ”
Xu Wenshan was helpless, "Old man, let me not do it once, 3.7 billion." ”
Pang Jianguo laughed, "No, I want to use this gem as a treasure, 4 billion, Xu boy, if you fight with me again, I will let your godson cut off relations with you." ”
Behind Pang Jianguo, Jiang Ming wiped the sweat on his head and said, "Old Xu, give up, for the sake of our son." ”
Old man Xu was entangled, "The old guy is too ruthless, okay, I'll accept it." ”
Someone present soon shouted a high price of 4.5 billion, and Pang Jianguo once again added 500 million in a big way, and finally bought this magnificent heart at a price of 5 billion US dollars.
The old man's idea was very simple, just like the Divine Blade, just to use this gem as a gimmick to attract the attention of merchants, and this effect was achieved in the future.
This time in the battle for gemstones, Jiang Chen finally saw the profound strength of the Pang family, Pang Jianguo transferred 5 billion to Athena Sauer on the spot, and directly took the huge diamond into his hands, and then, he just looked at it twice, and handed the diamond to his two granddaughters, "This is the dowry that my grandfather gave to the two of you, keep it well." ”
The two beauties blushed slightly.
……
The jewellery fair ended at 11 o'clock in the evening, when 90% of all the jewellery was auctioned off, with an unprecedented $10.7 billion in proceeds, minus red envelopes for experts, and finally 10.5 billion net proceeds went to Athena Sauer's account.
At the end of the exhibition, Athena Sauer took Jiang Chen and Mi Lan to meet the old man according to her grandfather's agreement, and had a supper with the old man.
The old man was a burly man, with gray hair, and very energetic, and he looked only in his sixties, but in fact he was already in his old age.
The meeting of the four was set in the courtyard of the Sauer family's estate.
The old man looked Jiang Chen and Mi Lan up and down, and after looking at it for a long time, he said in fluent Chinese, "Athena has a good eye, she is not wrong, the owner of the Mi family's treasure is full of temperament, and the guardian of the only daughter of the Mi family is also heroic, not bad." ”
Jiang Chen poured the old man a glass of wine, "Old man, I'm sorry to disturb you so late." ”
The old man laughed, quickly picked up the wine glass, and nodded at Mi Lan, "Come, little beauty, let's have a drink, don't fake with me, you kid, I'm not an old fool, your business, even if Athena doesn't tell me, I can see it, don't worry, I won't care about the young man's affairs, especially after tonight, because I have decided to transfer all the remaining equity to Athena." ”
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jiang Chen and Mi Lan, even Athena Sauer herself was surprised, "Grandpa, why is it so fast." ”
The old man smiled, "The value of the remaining 21% of the shares is about 9 billion US dollars, you should have so much capital on hand." ”
Athena Saulton blushed, "I, I didn't, because ......"
As soon as the words fell, Mi Lan said, "Sister, I'll lend it to you, no, we lend it to you, isn't it 9 billion, we have it." ”
Athena Sauer bowed her head and remained silent.
The shares of the Sauer family have always been firmly in the hands of the old man, when Athena Sauer took over as the new chairman of the Holy Athens Group, the old man divided 72% of the shares on hand to her and 5 relatives, she is the chairman, so she got the most 51%, and the others got the remaining 21%, these shares were not given for free, but lent to them to exercise power and carry it forward.
However, the shareholders who have not grown up have not turned this share into their own so far, but Athena Sauer, who is not doing business in their eyes, has bought the 51% of the shares into his own hands with his own efforts in recent years and has become the chairman of the company in the real sense, so the old man has decided to take back the remaining shares and sell them all to Athena Sauer.
However, judging from Athena Sauer's embarrassed expression, there must be a problem with her current funds, and she can't get 9 billion.
