Transactions are being negotiated in the room, and auctions are in full swing in the lobby. As one lot after another was sold, Tang Xingyou, who has always paid attention to Xu Haibao's lots, also focused his attention on the upcoming auctions.

According to what they learned from Xu Haibao, after the auction is over, Xu Haibao will withdraw some of the funds and start looking for shipyards to customize their own salvage ships. It also means that they will have another chance to swim in the sea.

Compared with Tang Xingyou's older personality, even if he was a little nervous in his heart, he didn't show any timidity. Although such an occasion was also experienced for the first time. But in terms of mental control, he is still much calmer than Wang Yuzhu.

Seeing that the first lot belonging to Xu Haibao began to be sent to the auction stage, Wang Yuzhu said with a little excitement: "Brother Bao, look, now it's time to start shooting your things!"

Hearing Wang Yuzhu's reminder, Xu Haibao said with a smile: "Got it! You help watch, if the deal is done, just tell me." At least I believe that my lot will not go unsold, right?"

The first words were naturally said to Wang Yuzhu, and the latter words were said to the general manager of the auction house and Tang Siming. As a commissioned auctioneer, Xu Haibao believes that any company in Xiangjiang will not refuse the lot.

As for the gold coins sent for appraisal this time, Xu Haibao believes that any auction house in Europe and the United States will be happy to accept Xu Haibao's auction commission. Such gold and silver coins are of great interest to many European and American collectors.

Listening to Xu Haibao's words, the general manager of the auction house, Hebrew, said with a smile: "There are still a lot of interested buyers for the five lots sent by Mr. Xu. At least I personally believe that the price will satisfy Mr. Xu. ”

"I expect it to be so, too! The higher the price, the higher the profit for both of us. Such a good thing, we naturally have to look forward to each other. Mr. Hebrew, 'What does I think I can fetch for this lot?'

Looking at the Ming blue and white masterpieces being auctioned on the real-time screen, the starting price is as high as 8 million Hong Kong dollars. After several rounds of bidding, the price has forced into the 10 million mark. This is nearly double the previous estimate of $5 million.

"Mr. Xu's Ming blue and white card, the price of 10 million should not be a problem. But I can't predict what the final transaction price will be. It depends on how much the buyer is willing to pay for the porcelain!"

While the two were chatting, the auctioneer in charge of shouting also smiled and said: "The seventeenth VIP bid 10 million, and the one who is willing to bid again?

After touting two sentences, looking at the quotation that popped up on the display screen again, the auctioneer smiled and said: "No. 109 bids 11 million! There are not many opportunities, don't miss this rare opportunity!"

When the final auctioneer knocked down the auction hammer in his hand, the final transaction price of this Ming Dynasty blue and white straight stone was as high as 12.6 million. For this final transaction price, Xu Haibao is still very satisfied.

It's just that for Tang Xingyou and Wang Yuzhu, they think those buyers are really crazy. With so much money, what's the use of buying a so-called drill to go back? In their opinion, money is the most practical!

But they didn't know that the auction of the Ming Dynasty blue and white stone was just the beginning. In the end, the highest transaction amount was the Chenghua Doucai teapot. The final transaction price was as high as 36 million.

Even if there are two ingots, one gold and one silver, the final transaction price adds up to more than two million. Coupled with another Chenghua Doucai direct shot, it also sold for more than 22 million, and Xu Haibao made more than 70 million in one fell swoop.

Although these more than 70 million are Hong Kong dollars, if they can be converted into RMB, Xu Haibao is also known as the first half of a billionaire. With such a net worth, in the eyes of Tang Xingyou and Wang Yuzhu, it is estimated that they can't spend enough money while sitting at home every day!

A few antiques were sold for such a huge fortune. The psychological impact of this trip to the auction house on the two is undoubtedly very huge. Of course, they are also more convinced that they will not worry about making money with Xu Haibao.

Even if they don't have the same luck as Xu Haibao, it is estimated that they will not be able to share much money for the things they will salvage in the future. But even one percent is enough to improve their current family situation.

Now they finally believe why Xu Haibao said when he saw them, 'Problems that can be solved with money are not problems'. Dare to make money here, it's a little unbelievable to them!

Under the witness and accompaniment of Zhao Jinyan, Xu Haibao handed over the funds to the auction house. After deducting more than 5 million commissions and more than 10 million temporary payments, the remaining auction proceeds were quickly transferred to Xu Haibao's private account.

Considering the safety of funds and the reason why he will often go abroad in the future, Xu Haibao also opened an account with a Swiss bank. In Xu Haibao's view, the proceeds from the auction will be transferred to a Swiss bank account in the future.

Although Xu Haibao knew that some countries in Europe and the United States in later generations required Swiss banks to disclose some secret accounts. But Xu Haibao believes that he is definitely not the only rich man who has a large amount of hidden funds in Swiss banks.

Coming out of the auction house, the general manager Hebrew also said politely: "Mr. Xu, I hope that this cooperation between our two sides can satisfy you." I'm also looking forward to working together again in the future." ”

"This is easy to say! I like to deal with sincere friends the most, and I have also seen the promotion that your bank has done for the lot this time. If there is something really good, I will give priority to you.

As for the things that I plan to participate in your summer auction, I will also send them to you as soon as possible as agreed. If there is anything, I will also contact Manager Tang. Those two gold and silver coins are my personal gifts, and you won't interfere, right?"

"Of course not! Friends exchange courtesies, and we don't interfere. Manager Tang, it seems that you have really made a good friend! You will have to worry more about Mr. Xu in the future. ”

"I'll definitely do my best!"

The price of two gold and silver coins, although not too expensive. But for Tang Siming, it was also a windfall. Such gold and silver coins have a high collector's value. If you really want to exchange it for money, I believe the auction price will not be too low.

What's even more unexpected is that shortly after leaving the auction house, Xu Haibao also gave Zhao Jinyan, who accompanied him, two identical gold and silver coins. Seeing the gift sent by Xu Haibao, Zhao Jinyan shook his head and refused.

But his tone was still very moving: "Brother Xu, you are too polite! I really can't accept such a valuable gift!"

"What? Do you lawyers still have a rule that you can't accept gifts from friends? If I were going to fight a lawsuit now, I wouldn't dare to give you this, for fear that I would be charged with bribing a lawyer. But isn't it normal for friends to come and go?

During this time, although you have charged for my entrustment. But I'm well aware that there are some things that don't require you to do it yourself. You are so sincere to me, then why should you refuse if I give you a little gift?"

"Brother Xu, these gifts of yours are not low-valued!"

"Zhao Dazhuo, you are a lawyer, why are you so vulgar? This thing, if you change it to people who love it, it has value. For those who don't love it, its value is extremely limited. Take this gift!

In the next step, the executive manager of our company will go to China to discuss investment cooperation. If there is really progress, when it comes to signing the contract, I also hope that Zhao Dazhuang will make a hard trip and provide some legal support. ”

In order to make the government pay more attention to the investment cooperation, Xu Haibao felt that sending a delegation of lawyers to participate in the signing ceremony of the investment cooperation should make the government departments in his hometown pay more attention to the details of the signed contracts.

If you really want to provoke the lawyer in Xiangjiang and make a big fuss, it is estimated that the government will have nothing to do with it. From another point of view, it will also make the government more convinced that this 'Baoya Investment Company' is indeed powerful and formal!

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, Xu Haibao's gift delivery is a bit too generous. But for Xu Haibao, if he wants to maintain cooperation with Subifu, he needs someone to speak for him or lead the conversation in Subifu.

The value of the two gold and silver coins is limited, but it can make Tang Siming owe him a favor. Although human favor is a thing, sometimes it cannot be measured by money. Of course, if Tang Siming accepted the gift but didn't want to owe favors, it could only be said that Xu Haibao had seen the wrong person.

The so-called New Year's gift to Zhao Jinyan also has a little selfishness from Xu Haibao. In the future, he will have a lot of business and even trouble in Hong Kong, and if a barrister helps him, he may be able to save a lot of trouble.

Everyone knows that in an international metropolis like Xiangjiang, a barrister still plays a very big role. In the absence of conclusive evidence, even if there is a suspect, the police must be extremely cautious before initiating operations and trials.

Networking doesn't happen overnight. Only by getting along for a long time can you truly establish your own network. With a network of contacts, Xu Haibao really wants to do something big in the future, and he can save a lot of time and trouble!
