Chapter 22 Sky-high prices
In the exhibition hall of more than 1,000 square meters, the black pressure is full of people, and the ones who really have identity are in the front, while the others are relatively behind.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the first collection is a porcelain bowl from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. ”
Under the auctioneer's carefree explanation, the first collection was put on the table.
But when the auction began, the first few rows were mediocre, with the occasional two or three people raising their cards.
Almost all of them came for the final finale, but some of the merchants and organizations further down the market were bidding fiercely against each other.
Frankly speaking, in this Wanli auction, the other treasures will be considered heavyweights if they get any auction alone, but compared to who the score is, today they have completely become a foil.
It stands to reason that this is not good for the lots, but in order to set off this special auction, Wanli's senior management also transferred various treasures to fill the quality of this auction.
As the collection was auctioned away one by one, it was finally time for the finale of this time.
The lights in the exhibition hall were suddenly turned on, and the 20-meter-high floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides of the hall were slowly covered by special heavy curtains in the sound of mechanical gears.
When all the natural light sources in the venue were blocked, the auctioneer spoke on the stage in high spirits:
"I believe that you must have come to this auction today not only because I am handsome. ”
There was a good-natured laugh below.
The auctioneer restrained his smile.
"We have an ancient poem in China: There are tears in the pearl of the sea and the moon, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking. We have seen a lot of Lantian jade, I thought that the night pearl was just fiction, or that those fluorescent ores were the so-called night pearls. ”
"But I was wrong, I was outrageously wrong, I shouldn't doubt the ancestors of Huaxia, even if the real treasure is buried for a thousand years or ten thousand years, it will always have a time to appear. ”
"Let's bring out the finale of this auction, the pearl of the night, the tears of the merman. ”
A small cart was pushed up by a dignified cheongsam beauty with a small jade box on it.
"Please be prepared. The auctioneer pressed the remote control.
The lights in the exhibition hall were all turned off at the same time.
In the darkness, a hazy bright yellow light suddenly lit up on the auction table.
The brighter and brighter light was soft and bright, swaying out the Dao light in everyone's sight.
No one spoke, including the auctioneer, and everyone looked at the dazzling light on the auction table stupidly.
It doesn't illuminate the entire venue, but it's more beautiful than you can imagine.
After 30 seconds, the lights were turned on, and the Night Pearl regained its normal state of crystalline luster.
The auctioneer took a deep breath.
"The tears of the merman, the reserve price is 100 million yuan, then the auction begins. ”
There was no one bidding for a minute, but the auctioneer wasn't embarrassed.
"One hundred million. A voice came from the corner, waking up the intoxicated crowd.
"150 million. "The middle position directly drove up the price.
The other side did not show weakness: "180 million." ”
。。。。
When the price rose to 600 million, the voice in the middle and rear rows began to weaken.
"700 million. "The front row, which had been holding steady, finally started bidding.
The price war is getting higher and higher, and Wu Weidu, who is sitting in the front corner, has a heart twitch.
A translator held up a bidding card: "2.5 billion"
Lore!
Muhammad finally made a move, and directly increased the price from 1.5 billion to 2.5 billion, which showed an inevitable edge.
In the left position of the front row, Fan Zhengxing and Yang Zhangcheng glanced at each other, and reluctantly put down the bidding card that was about to be raised.
It's not that they can't get a higher price, but it doesn't make sense, if they dare to report 2.6 billion, Muhammad will definitely crush them with 3 billion or even higher.
As the auction hammer fell, the Pearl of the Night was auctioned off by Saudi Prince Mohammed without any suspense.
This is a gemstone, not a cultural relic, so there are no exit restrictions.
。。。
After the auction, many people hurried to the airport, except for a few people who would visit Qiantang by the way, most of them had achieved the purpose of the trip and had a glimpse of the treasures.
Wu Wei has never seen such a grand scene in his life, and I have to say that the impact on his soul is huge.
But the bigger impact came later.
After the mobile phone text message reminded that the 2.3 billion deposit of tax deduction had arrived, Wu Wei was briefly blindsided for a while.
Although it is said that the money is just a number after a certain amount, it is quite exciting for such a string of zeros to appear in your balance.
Fortunately, Wu Wei's heart has been trained to be extremely strong recently, otherwise there might only be twenty-two chapters in this book.
。。。
On the way home, Bai Yanxi made a rare joke.
"Wu boy, shouldn't the bricks in your old tiled house be made of gold?"
Wu Wei held the steering wheel and hummed a little song, and when he heard this, he smiled and said to Bai Lao: "Old Man Bai, don't laugh at me, my hands are shaking a little now." ”
"I'm just luckier than others, but don't make a fuss about you, maybe, there will be something you'll be surprised in the future. ”
Bai Yanxi thought thoughtfully: "Then my old bones can live longer." ”
Once a person's condition improves, there will be hope, and Bai Yanxi will even think about it now, if he can see his grandson Xiaohu again.
。。。
At night, in the courtyard of a mansion in the inner ring of Kyoto.
Li Shengyao yelled at his mobile phone angrily: "What! Didn't you get it? How did you promise me in the first place, didn't you want people to treat the old man? Don't think he thinks I don't know what you did to other people before!"
On the other end of the phone, Hou Li wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with a tissue.
"General Li, I had already invited that Bai Yanxi, but someone actually came out to intercept him halfway. ”
Hou Li changed the phone to one ear: "I stopped it, and I also drove after it, but they were very arrogant and smashed my car, but don't worry, I have written down the license plate number, and I will be able to find the owner soon." ”
Lee loosened a button on his shirt.
"I warn you, this time, you give me a good invitation, now is a legal society, put away your fancy intestines. ”
After speaking, Li Shengyao didn't wait for Hou Hui to answer, and hung up the phone directly.
As soon as he turned around and was about to go back to the house, he found a wheelchair sitting there at the door, the old man in the wheelchair was decrepit but energetic, and the nursing staff on the side helped him hold the drip stand.
"Dad, why did you come out, it's cold outside, you go in quickly. Li Shengyao hurriedly stepped forward to push the wheelchair.
Although it was summer, the old man was wearing a woolen jacket, and he waved his hand.
"Shengyao, don't bother, it's hard to do it, my leg has been injured for decades, and I can't stand up until now, what else do I have to complain about. ”
"Don't say such things, if you don't find hope, come, I'll push you in first. ”
Li Shengyao did not tell Li Hongguang that the last examination also detected bone cancer lesions, if according to those doctors and experts, the old man has less than 1 year to recuperate at most.
。。。
Hou Li looked at the phone in his hand that showed that he had hung up, thinking about the terrifying bodyguard that afternoon.
