Chapter 109: Ferdinand's Stone

Sideline episodes aside, the auction continues.

Today is the Central Asia special session, Zhao Xuan and his party, some experts, some of whom are not in the right direction of research, and some who are not interested, did not continue to participate.

In the end, only Zhao Xuan was left, as well as Pei Lao and two other old experts, plus a translator.

Even the accompanying secretary went to contact the exchange matters.

They came in the name of a visiting mission, and they always had to visit in earnest.

Since there are people leaving, there will naturally be people coming.

Many local tyrants in white robes only came today at first glance.

Thanks to the contribution of yesterday's stick, yesterday alone, F&F recouped all the costs, and the next two days, it was a net profit.

Ferdinand smiled brighter and brighter, and when he passed by Zhao Xuan and the others, he also gave Zhang Yuan a thumbs up.

Then the auction began, and today Ferdinand did not speak on the stage again, and Alvin started directly.

Today's auction is even more outrageous than yesterday's.

As long as the experts around you nod and confirm that the lot is genuine, then there is only one point, buy!

In less than an hour, without even an intermission, the auction ended for the day.

Fifteen lots, one fake was unsold, and the remaining fourteen were auctioned for a total of more than 200 million, euros!

The finale of the parchment book alone exceeded 100 million.

If it weren't for the fact that this was a private auction, it would have been in the top three in history at this price.

The inhumane style of the trench makes the eyes of others jealous red, but there is nothing to be done.

As soon as the auction began, Ferdinand turned down visitors.

After all, as an organizer, it is somewhat inappropriate to communicate privately with the bidders during the auction.

Phone calls are still available, though.

Zhang Yuan angrily called Ferdinand and asked him where the benefits were.

"Don't worry, you don't want to compete with the oil guys, do you?" Ferdinand asked rhetorically.

Zhang Yuan thinks about it, and this is indeed the truth. Snorted coldly and hung up the phone.

Wait until tomorrow when the auction is over, and then come and clean him up.

The auction continued, and on the third day of the European session, there were still not many auction items, and compared to yesterday, the self-proclaimed gentleman Europeans were much more civilized.

It's just as competitive, but it's all within reason.

Today, only Zhao Xuan and Zhang Yuan participated, and the rest of the delegation actually visited.

After auctioning four or five lots, Alvin said: "The next one is a special lot, contributed by Mr. Ferdinand. ”

"Mr. Ferdinand, in order to thank all of you for your support for this auction, I would like to offer it to those who know this lot."

"All the proceeds from the auction will be donated to the Museum of Country M as a special fund for the protection of historical relics in Country M."

Zhao Xuan and Zhang Yuan glanced at each other, and this was the way of their hearts.

Alvin didn't make any introduction, just waved his hand and asked the staff to pick up the things and place them on the table.

Subsequently, the surrounding screens also played photos.

What Ferdinand was talking about was a stone half the size of a fist, not very regular in shape, bright red in the upper part and then gradually turning blue-brown in the lower part.

Aside from the bright colors, it looks like a roadside stone.

Zhang Yuan was still touching his chin to observe the photos on the projection, but Zhao Xuan stood up involuntarily and stared intently at the stones on the table.

From the moment the stone was picked up, Zhao Xuan had a feeling, not very easy to describe, it seemed to be, devouring?

Zhao Xuan didn't know where this feeling came from, and he didn't know how to devour a stone, but one thing was confirmed, it was an anomaly.

Zhao Xuan turned his head and found that Zhang Yuan was looking at him, and nodded at Zhang Yuan.

With no reserve price and no other requirements, Alvin began the auction.

There are not bad money lords, who regard this purely as a charity project, stones and not stones, they are all from the head, holding up a sign and shouting: "50,000." ”

No one else continued to shout. To be charitable, 50,000 euros is not a small amount.

Seeing that no one was shouting, Ferdinand raised his hand and said, "Four hundred and ninety-thousand!" ”

Ferdinand's actions drew a lot of attention.

The meaning is obvious, if no one understands it, Ferdinand is willing to donate 500,000 yuan directly.

Zhang Yuan glanced at Ferdinand, but still raised his sign and shouted: "500,000!" ”

No one else continued to bid, and Zhang Yuan took the stone without any danger.

The people around him gave applause and thanked Zhang Yuan and Ferdinand for their philanthropic acts.

Zhang Yuan naturally wouldn't let go of such an opportunity to be in the limelight, stood up with a smile, and waved around.

The auction did not have any impact because of the appearance of this special lot, and it was still enthusiastic.

In the end, the scepter of the principality of Kievan Rus' was sold for 48 million euros.

The whole auction was successfully completed.

Taking stock of the auction, the transaction amount of the three auctions is nearly 500 million, although it is not an exaggerated amount, but this auction is only a small non-public auction, and does not accept telephone calls and entrusted quotations, which can reach this level, which is already quite successful.

F&F, at least, can gain a foothold in the Asia-Pacific region with such an auction.

There was also a ball in the evening, and it is said that Ferdinand, happy with it, added a lot of money to the ball.

Zhang Yuan, in line with the principle of not eating for nothing, pulled Zhao Xuan hard.

The two didn't bring any formal clothes, but the hotel had already taken this into account and offered clothes for rent.

Except for finding a set of clothes that Zhang Yuan could wear, it took a little twists and turns, but there was no problem.

The venue of the dance party is still the same as the previous exhibition hall.

It's not that the hotel is bad, but the whole hotel can accommodate so many people at the same time, and the rooms are not crowded, and that's the only one.

Tables and chairs are placed in a circle around the perimeter, followed by rows of cold dining tables, which are empty in the middle, presumably as a dance floor.

The equipment that had been auctioned off on the stage had been removed and replaced by a whole band, playing a relaxing melody.

One word, high class!

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Yuan laughed three times and rushed to the buffet table without any scruples.

Zhao Xuan stepped back slightly, pretending not to know this person.

After sandwiching something at random, Zhao Xuan was alone and found a corner to sit down.

looked at Zhang Yuan, who was flexibly shuttling between the buffet tables, attracting people around him to turn back frequently.

On this occasion, pretending not to know Zhang Yuan is the best choice.

After a few minutes of sitting, I saw Ferdinand and Martina walk in.

Ferdinand is still a meticulous three-piece suit, while Martina, who is holding Ferdinand's hand, is wearing a tight long skirt, bright and moving.

Zhao Xuan had already seen many men, turned his head quietly, and began to look at her.

Martina looked around, and finally found Zhao Xuan, who was sitting in the corner eating, whispered something to Ferdinand, let go of Ferdinand, gently lifted her skirt, and walked towards Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan didn't pay attention to Martina's actions, he was fighting with the half of the lobster on the plate.

You have to pay attention to your image, but you can't be hungry, right?

Martina sat opposite Zhao Xuan and chuckled, "My brother is so cute today. ”

Zhao Xuan almost choked to death from a lobster.

"Ahem...... Cough. Zhao Xuan coughed vigorously for a while, then lifted the cup and poured a large mouthful of water to relieve his strength.

Looking at Martina, who was sitting opposite and looking at him with a smile, Zhao Xuan was really speechless. Is the word "cute" appropriate to describe me?

Seeing that Zhao Xuan didn't speak, Martina continued to complain: "Let you come to me, and you won't come." ”

Zhao Xuan didn't know what to say.

"Caviar, just delivered, don't say I didn't take care of you!" Zhang Yuan arrived at the right time and put the small box of caviar in front of Zhao Xuan.

Zhao Xuan never felt that Zhang Yuan was so cute.

Zhang Yuan looked like he had just seen Martina, and said in surprise: "Ah! So you're dating a beautiful woman! Am I bothering you? ”

said that he was disturbed, but the person sat next to Zhao Xuan.

Seeing Zhang Yuan sit down, Martina pursed her lips, but didn't say anything.

Ferdinand, who was not far away, said hello to a few acquaintances, and saw Zhang Yuan and Zhao Xuan both sitting there, so he also walked over and sat next to Martina.

"Coincidentally, I was looking for you." Zhang Yuan ignored Martina, turned his head and said to Ferdinand: "You said that you would give me some benefits, and let me spend millions, is it too much?" ”

Ferdinand shook the wine glass in his hand and said slowly: "The liquidated damages are negative five million." ”

"Negative? What do you mean? Zhao Xuan asked.

"If you don't pay, I'll give you an extra five million euros."

Zhang Yuan's eyes rolled around, and he immediately said with a smile: "Yes!" How could you not want to! You Ferdinand's face, I Zhang Yuan must give! ”

Ferdinand and Martina didn't sit with Zhao Xuan for long, after all, they were the organizers, and there were a lot of people to greet them.

When Martina was leaving, she gave Zhao Xuan another complaining look.

Zhao Xuan shuddered with fright. What does this woman want to do?

At the next ball, Zhao Xuan refused Martina's invitation to dance with him again.

Martina didn't say anything, but there were many men around, and their eyes were a little unkind when they looked at Zhao Xuan.

The two of them ate and drank to their heart's content, no longer paying attention to the boring communication of these upper-class people, except for the banquet hall, and ran to find the staff to hand over the auction items.

Ferdinand was right, the lawyer in charge of signing the contract was also surprised to see the auction contract, and called Ferdinand to confirm it.

If they don't fulfill the contract, they will receive five million euros, and even the donation will be the responsibility of Ferdinand.

In other words, does Ferdinand think that this stone is worth five million?

Anyway, Zhang Yuan swiped his credit card of 500,000 yuan, signed the contract, and took the stone back from the staff.

When the two returned to the room, Zhang Yuan couldn't wait to take out the stone from the packing box and play with it in his hand.

Zhao Xuan looked at the stone, and the feeling of longing appeared again.

After describing his feelings to Zhang Yuan, Zhao Xuan cautiously asked Zhang Yuan: "Can I take a look?" ”

"Why not?" Zhang Yuan asked indifferently, "Are you worried about absorbing it?" ”

Zhao Xuan nodded.

"Absorb it, absorb it." Zhang Yuan handed the stone to Zhao Xuan.

"500,000." Zhao Xuan still didn't dare to take it.

"The bureau is not bad for money!" Zhang Yuan directly stuffed the stone into Zhao Xuan's hand.

Zhao Xuan was already mentally prepared for all kinds of strange situations such as entering the illusion realm, strange changes in stones, and so on.

Nothing happened.
