One of the finale items of this auction, this houseboat is 36 meters long, with a large interior space, very comfortable, and most suitable for going out to sea, attracting many people.

After hearing their ridicule, Chen Chen said with a smile:

"Then borrow your auspicious words, haha, there should be nothing else to do, why don't we go up and have a look"

Hu Xu and the three nodded in agreement, and Chen Chen didn't say that they also had to go up to have a look and experience it.

The yachts are allowed to go up and see the auctions, and the organizers do so so so that they can be sold at a higher price.

After all, the real thing has been seen, how much it can be worth, everyone has a bottom in their hearts, and it will be much more convenient when the time comes, and you can choose faster.

There are still a lot of people participating in the auction today, about 100 people, young people and middle-aged and elderly people.

The former is for those sporty yachts, after all, young people like to pursue excitement, and the latter, some are for this houseboat, and some are for those antique calligraphy and paintings.

It wasn't until the four of them boarded the boat that Chen Chen saw how attractive it was, and after they walked around for a while, they saw no less than five rich people, as well as a few young people.

A few people stood on the deck, looked to the side, and really experienced the size of this houseboat, he had seen it inside and out, and he was really satisfied.

There is also a female docent with delicate facial features and a convex and backward curl to introduce you to the specific situation of the boat.

Hu Xu looked at the yachts next to him, thought about this again, and said with a little emotion:

"Brother Chen, to be honest, after shopping around this circle, I have a little urge to buy it, but this price is even higher than I expected."

This houseboat is really good, both the facilities and the decoration style are very attractive to him.

Chen Chen said with a smile:

"Brother, if you want to buy it, then buy it, with your net worth, how can you not afford it, then we will rely on our own means."

Hu Xu was also moved when he heard it, but finally shook his head and said:

"Forget it, Brother Chen, you've already said it, I can't take away people's favor, anyway, we live so close, if I want to experience it, you must lend it to me when the time comes, hahaha!"

This houseboat, in Hu Xu's opinion, the final transaction price will definitely not be less than 50 million, this price he took out, but buying a consumable, the cost performance is really not high.

After all, he only goes to sea occasionally, and it is impossible to drive it every day, and most of the time this RV has to eat dust there, which is too wasteful.

It's better to look at the others, anyway, at sea, no matter how stable it is, it can't be stable.

And Chen Chen's eyes couldn't hide the liking, he simply became an adult.

When Chen Chen heard this, he immediately smiled and said:

"That's for sure, if I really take it, brother, what do you want to use, say it in advance, I must arrange it for you."

Mr. Shen looked at the two of them and said with a smile:

"Yes, Mr. Ma, Mr. Hu, we can't get involved in the topic of the two of them, after all, we can't afford it, haha!"

Mr. Ma also nodded with a smile and said:

"That's right, let's go and see those small and medium-sized leisure yachts, which are more likely to be won."

Chen Chen said with a smile:

"Eh, you two are too modest, haha!"

Mr. Ma's assets are indeed not as good as Chen Chen and Hu Xu, but they should not be underestimated, after all, they are doing business, and after they get up, the profits are still quite large.

After seeing this houseboat, the four of them went to visit other yachts together, which can be regarded as having their own merits, but Chen Chen's favorite is still that houseboat.

In the middle, Chen Chen also met a few acquaintances, talked about the old for a while, and under their leadership, he also met a few new friends.

At half past three in the afternoon, the auction officially began.

Chen Chen and the others came to the auction hall together, which is an oval hall with a luxurious decoration.

In the center is an auction table, and behind it is a large LCD screen, which displays the auction items in all directions, and there are rows of seats on the side.

Chen Chen and the others found the location according to the number plate on the previous invitation, he was with Hu Xu, and Mr. Ma and Mr. Shen were a little behind.

There is a description of the items to be auctioned today on each seat, and Chen Chen chatted with Hu Xu while looking at it.

Chen Chen doesn't know much about these antique calligraphy and paintings, mainly Hu Xu is introducing him, Hu Xu is a collector, he came over this time, and it was also incidental to buy a yacht.

Chen Chen plans to take two of them home if he has eyes, of course, he won't buy those that are too expensive.

He is not afraid of photographing fakes, this side is fake one pays ten, as long as it can be proved that it is a fake, the organizer will compensate ten times.

Soon, a young woman wearing a cheongsam and a very plump figure walked to the auction table and said with a smile:

"Welcome to this auction, I am auctioneer Cen Cen, and I have a lot of new friends today, so before I start, I will talk about the rules......"

Then there is a burst of introduction, in fact, it is very simple, that is, there is no regret about the hammer, and it is forbidden to shout empty, otherwise it will be hit by the organizer in all directions.

The background of such high-end auctions is often extraordinary, with a wide network of contacts, and it is not that this has never happened before, and he is still a rich man with a lot of money, and he is directly bankrupt.

So for this point, no one present has any objections, everyone has a good face, they are all people with heads and faces, and in public, the possibility of doing this kind of thing is still very low.

Then the collection was sent up one by one, the first round of the auction was some antique calligraphy and paintings, the yacht did not appear until the second round, and the house boat that Chen Chen had in mind was in the third round of the finale.

Under the professional skills of this charming young woman, the collections have been successfully auctioned, and it is impossible to allow unsold items in such a large-scale auction, which is very discrediting for the organizers.

The value of these collections ranges from hundreds of thousands to more than 5 million.

And this is only the first round, the rest can be imagined.

Chen Chen also made a shot and took a picture of a famous calligraphy and painting, which cost nearly one million.

As for Hu Xu, the most valuable collection that has appeared so far is what he photographed, which is a clay pot, which was sold by many people, but he still took it down.

After the first round, there was a break at halftime, and the second round began quickly, and this round was all kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings mixed with yachts.

Chen Chen didn't like anything this time, but Hu Xu and Mr. Ma took action one after another, and they also won a yacht and some other collections.

After the start of the third round, all kinds of rare things came up, and some bigwigs who had not opened their mouths opened their mouths to bid.

"This one is the handwriting of the ancient master Bai Yi...... The starting price is 9.99 million, and each price increase cannot be less than 200,000. ”

"11 million!"

"12 million!"

"This one is from a thousand years ago...... The starting price is 12 million, and each increase cannot be less than 200,000. ”

"14 million!"

"16 million! ”

This situation abounds, tens of millions of them are scattered, and these people don't even blink an eye.

Chen Chen still remembered that after a collection came up, Hu Xu next to him was excited, but in the end, the price of 30 million still didn't take it, which made him sad.

With the passage of time, he came to the houseboat that Chen Chen liked.

Two other large yachts have already been sold, the brand new one sold for 52 million, and the second-hand one was cheaper, also 48 million.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the penultimate lot, which belongs to the Citigroup shipbuilder**, with a total length of 36 meters and all facilities...... The starting price is 48 million, and each increase shall not be less than 1 million. ”

Cen Cen said with a smile.

As soon as this starting price came out, everyone present was shocked, and the second-hand car just now was sold for only 48 million.

Another brand new, his starting price is 44 million, which is directly higher than 4 million, which is really a bit unexpected for everyone, after all, except for one is a leisure yacht and the other is a sports yacht, the overall difference is not bad.

"Brother Chen, I feel that the cost of you to win this house boat will definitely not be low, this organizer is a bit of a chicken thief."

Hu Xu was also a little surprised that in that kind of auction with a good atmosphere, the final transaction price would generally be 20% higher than the auction price.

Even if there are more bidders, it may reach more than 30%, this RV is like this, I am afraid that it will get closer to 60 million, after all, there are still a lot of rich people today.

Chen Chen nodded and said:

"Yes, but it's understandable, after all, everyone is doing this, and the organizer should have a lot of people who like this RV, and raised the starting price, but it's still acceptable, but other people are afraid that they should be a little emotional, haha!"

After Hu Xu heard it, he said with a smile:

"Haha, that's true!"

After Cen Cen's voice fell for a long time, there was a very embarrassing situation in the entire venue, and many rich people coincidentally no one bid, and they were all talking in a low voice, in order to express their dissatisfaction.

Cen Cen also expected it, she is very experienced, this situation has been experienced more than once, seeing that everyone does not bid, she will continue to say something else, to maintain the atmosphere of the venue, things are good, they are not cowardly.

Sure enough, after a while, when the boat was about to be auctioned, someone suddenly made a bid, a middle-aged man sitting in the second row, who held up a sign and said:

"Forty-nine million!"

As soon as he spoke, Cen Cen began to arch the fire on the side, and then a second person spoke:

"Fifty million!"

Soon the field was lively, and some wealthy people who took a fancy to this RV began to bid, and the competition gradually became fierce, and soon the price came to 55 million.

Chen Chen roughly observed the competitors, felt that it was time, and then directly raised the number plate in his hand and said loudly:

"Fifty-seven million!"

Chen Chen suddenly increased the price by two million, mainly to reveal his determination to take it.

As soon as Chen Chen's offer came out, everyone's eyes looked at it, everyone else added one million to one million, and he mentioned two million at once, and everyone was very curious.

But because Chen Chen is relatively low-key, there are still relatively few people who know him, and everyone is guessing which one this is, if he can take out so much cash at one time, his net worth will definitely go up to billions.

Cen Cen, who was standing on the auction table, also came over, and then repeated:

"The eighteenth bid is fifty-seven million, and there is no one else to bid, only this one, the opportunity is rare!"

Cen Cen knew Chen Chen, but Chen Chen's identity could not be exposed at this time, in case someone did not make a bid in order to sell Chen Chen a face, it would be embarrassing.

Cen Cen's voice fell slightly, and another shouted:

"Fifty-eight million!"

Chen Chen looked at him, showed a kind smile, and then said:

"Sixty million!"

Chen Chen once again raised two million.

This time, no one spoke, Cen Cen looked down, smiled and began the countdown:

"Sixty million, for the first time!"

No one raised the price.

"Sixty million, the second time!"

She shouted again.

Still, no one bid.

"Sixty million, the third time!"

She continued to shout, and deliberately delayed for a while, but unfortunately no one bid, so she had no choice but to drop the hammer and announce the auction results.

"Deal, congratulations on the 18th for taking this houseboat!"

After Chen Chen heard this, he immediately showed a smile, although he was tricked, Chen Chen was also satisfied, if it was a normal one million plus, it would definitely be higher.

A thing has a different price for everyone, just like a lover's eyes, sixty million is high, but Chen Chen can accept it.

After Hu Xu saw it, he said with a smile:

"Brother Chen, congratulations, I won my favorite houseboat, haha, you must borrow it from me when you have time, I have grown so big, I have never made such an expensive private yacht."

Some people who know Chen Chen also sent messages one after another, congratulations to him, and those who don't know him have also seen his financial resources, 60 million will be paid when he says he will pay it, and he plans to come over and make a familiar face after it is over.

Soon the last two lots were also auctioned, the highest being the penultimate lot, which sold for 72 million.

This is the end of the auction.

After that, Chen Chen, accompanied by Hu Xu and the others, went to sign the transaction contract, make payments, and go through various procedures.

After everything was done, Chen Chen handled some business here, such as boat custody, maintenance, etc., such a big thing would definitely not be able to take it home.

This thing is expensive to buy, and it is even more expensive to maintain and use, and there is a lot of money for parking every day, but for Chen Chen, he is not short of money now!

After finishing it, Chen Chen and the others did not leave, and the organizer held a dinner party, inviting all the participants to participate, giving everyone an occasion to catch up and talk about cooperation.

Chen Chen is now accustomed to these things, and all kinds of opinions come to him as soon as he opens his mouth, and he talks and laughs freely among a group of people, and he doesn't seem bored.

In this way, Chen Chen stayed here until more than ten o'clock in the evening, and after saying goodbye to the bosses, he went back to Linjiang Villa with Hu Xu, and as for the others, they continued here.
