Chapter 12: The First Pot of Real Gold
Time always passes unconsciously, and in the company of three foreign devils who have their own ideas, but dare not reveal their hearts, Zhang Yu spent a whole afternoon leisurely. Everything seems so comfortable and comfortable! But who can understand the bitterness and torment in the hearts of the three foreign devils?
After a well-prepared dinner, the highlight of the night was finally ushered in, but Zhang Yu did not intend to show his face and put himself in the public spotlight, but chose to be an outsider-like existence to observe and experience the extravagant life of those high-ranking celebrities.
The private celebrity auction takes place at 8pm in the Celebrity Ballroom of the Bonhams Hotel (apocryphal), across the street from the Bonhams > auction house in <. Just by hearing the name, you already know the relationship between the two. As a high-end hotel under the jurisdiction of an auction house, it often holds private receptions for some celebrities and elites, or auctions like this one, to increase its influence among the top people.
The entire banquet hall is full of gorgeously dressed, but there is an obvious smell of copper in the bones, and the noble son, Mrs. Kuo, and business tycoon are dignified. These people gather in groups to talk about it, but if you listen carefully, you will find that the topics they talk about are some unnutritious, or dirty things that make people lose their appetite when they listen to them!
Zhang Yu leisurely hid in a small and elegantly decorated private room next to the banquet hall, drinking coffee and eating the smooth desserts delivered by the beautiful waitress, and had no intention of paying attention to the celebrities outside who seemed to be well-dressed, but in fact they were full of male thieves and prostitutes.
As the bell rang, many celebrities who participated in the meeting sat down one after another, which also kicked off the entire auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Bonhams! I am John Carter, the auctioneer in charge of this auction, and I will be at the service of all of you here. Without further ado, let's talk about the first lot in this auction, a golden mask from the Inca Empire. Auctioneer John Carter began to detail Lot 1 that was presented to the stand by the bikini-clad hostess.
"That's all for my introduction, you can start bidding, starting at $1 million, and each price increase must not be less than 50,000, please get ready!"
As soon as the words fell, a brightly dressed man who did not dare to compliment his appearance raised the sign in his hand, "One and a half million"
"Okay, this gentleman has made a bid of $1.5 million, do you have any price increases?"
"1.8 million" Another guy with a similar shape, but more arrogant, quoted his own price.
If there is one, there will be two, and with two, it will not be far from the four, five, six, seven, or eight behind. Soon, the price was raised.
With the sound of the hammer in the auctioneer's hand, this golden mask from the Inca Empire, with a history of thousands of years, representing royal power and symbolizing the incarnation of the highest power of the son of the sun in the world, was finally auctioned at a price of 4.8 million US dollars at a price of 4.8 million US dollars, which attracted a burst of praise from everyone. I guess this is the legendary "stinky feet", right?!
The auction is still in full swing, and as the gold content of the lots continues to rise, whether it is the price or the smell of gunpowder among the celebrities, it is showing an intensifying trend with the increase in the atmosphere of the scene. Finally, after nearly two hours of "mutual attack", tens of millions of dollars were squandered by these losers, and the auction also reached the final **.
"Here are the last two lots of the auction, which were offered by a mysterious Mr. Huaxia! One of the two items is a piece of the best imperial green jadeite, known as the king of jadeite and the darling of nature, worth no less than 15 million US dollars. Another 430-carat diamond is the world's finest flawless pink diamond. ”
With John Carter's continuous astonishing introductions, the celebrities in the audience who had already been "tortured" by the atmosphere of the scene were full of passion and enthusiasm, and they could not suppress the impulse in their hearts, and they all shouted!
"This treasure is mine, and you don't want to snatch it from me!"
"Fuck off!
"Whoever dares to rob Young Master Ben, I will ask someone to kill him!"
"You stinky men, do you know what it means to appreciate, only Miss Ben is worthy of such a treasure!"
"Fuck off Nima's stinky bitch! When will it be your turn to intervene as a slut like you?
The atmosphere was completely aroused, and no one paid attention to the auctioneer and the hostess who was dressed sexily and revealingly. All of them put 200% of their passion into the final round of bidding that is about to begin.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the final auction starts now! The two items are sold in a bundle, starting at $150 million, and each price increase must not be less than five million!~~Please start bidding!"
As soon as the words fell, the final fight at the auction site and the most "bloody killing" began!
"200 million! I'll give 200 million!"
"Get out of here! Young Master Ben bid 300 million!"
"A bunch of rude people! Miss Ben 500 million!"
"Believe it or not, I'll ask someone to shoot you?ah~?Lao Tzu will pay 650 million! Who would dare to ask for a price?!"
"Cut~ Do you have any subordinates? Which one of you here is lower than you? Idiot! 700 million!"
"Made! Wang, bastard, I'm not done with you! 800 million!"
"It's so vulgar! An unreasonable bunch of stinky men! Miss Ben billion!"
No one will give in easily, but things have to have a result in the end, right?
"1,865,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,!!000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,00
"Congratulations, Mr. Jackman! Eighteen sixty-five million! These two rare treasures in the world are yours! Thank you Mr. Jackman for your generosity! Everyone, this is the end of this private auction, and I wish you all a good night!" Auctioneer John Carter announced the end of the auction very formulaically, and left the venue with his belongings.
The person who photographed these two treasures provided by Zhang Yu was a Russian ** fire dealer named Peter Jackman, who was praised by his peers as "Crazy Peter the Great"! Therefore, in the end, this guy won these two treasures and did not cause too much dissatisfaction among others. After all, life is more important than money! People are arms dealers, and there are countless outlaws under them, and how many people have blood on their hands! Don't you want to die?
Mr. Jackman looked around with disdain, and the group of young people who had been shouting at each other did not stop long, and left the meeting room with his secretary to complete the final deal. As a successful businessman, especially an arms dealer, the principle of reputation first always comes first! This is also the advantage and characteristic of doing business with an arms dealer -- always say the same thing, and there is no shirk!
Zhang Yu learned this news for the first time, which has been the only one that has been good for him so far. Nodding with a smile, he took out 500 Australian dollars and stuffed it into the hands of the waitress who brought him this "good news", which was used as an errand fee.
Under the eager gaze of the waitress Grateful Dade, Zhang Yu left the box and rushed back to the auction house for the final handover.
After some politeness, Zhang Yu got his share as he wished, deducting 10% of the final income from the auction commission, which was $1,678.5 million. The money was deposited in an anonymous card at the UBS branch in Sydney.
With so much money, it will definitely make some people who already have unrealistic ideas in their psychology expose their greed. Therefore, Zhang Daxia also had to be vigilant and give a dozen preventive shots to those guys who were still waiting in advance! Save yourself from what you said before, and be regarded as a deaf ear by these guys!
"As for me, people respect me, I respect people! So if anyone stabs me in the back, we will have to talk about it properly! I understand? I don't want such a good relationship between us to be ruined by some daydreaming guys!
Several people present, including the owner of the auction house, the chief appraiser, auctioneer John Carter, and the fat man Steve, all swallowed their saliva in unison when they saw the amazing scene in front of them, and shook their heads busily, indicating that they would not do those things.
Seeing that the shock and deterrence had played a role, Zhang Yu decided to add another fire and let these guys be completely led by his own nose. This is also because he still has his own relatives in Australia, otherwise he doesn't care what these guys will do to him. If you provoke yourself, you must have the consciousness of losing your head!
"There is a powerful sect behind me, do you know the sect? It is equivalent to the sect you say! So don't make me any trouble, understand? I'm not afraid of trouble, but those old guys behind me are very troublesome! Their only solution to trouble is ~~ to get rid of future troubles forever!"
Seeing that Zhang Yu had such superb skills, several people had already been jealous, and the meaning of these words was not half-hearted, which also made several people even more nervous about the young man in front of them. Even said "don't dare"
"I have a cousin in Melbourne, if she has any difficulties, you can help, try to help, I am grateful! I hope this is not our last transaction! Everyone, there will be a period later! Hehe!" After saying this, Zhang Yu was like a chivalrous man, he arched his hand with a smile, and then turned around and left, leaving a messy crowd behind.
