The grand auction of wrong coins was held as scheduled in the 1,500-seat venue on the top floor of the famous Burj Al Arab.

In the turquoise waters of the Persian Gulf, in Dubai, a dream city that flows gold and silver, in this hot summer, the most exciting moment in history.

The auction started at nine o'clock, and by half-past eight, the venue was already full.

In order to be able to distinguish their identities and statuses, the buyer team from the International Shipping Association was divided into one group, the Gulf buyer team was divided into a group, the collector team on each continent was divided into a group, and the other individual collectors were divided into a group.

At the same time, for the sake of fairness, Sotheby's adopted the method of drawing lots, each group elected a representative to draw lots, and those who drew No. 2 and No. 3 were in the middle two groups, while those who drew No. 1 and No. 4 could only sit on both sides.

Luckily, the International Chamber of Shipping (IAS) and the Gulf Buyer Team were awarded the No. 2 and No. 3 lots, respectively. The team of famous collectors from all over the world drew the No. 1 lot, and the team of individual buyers drew the No. 4 lot.

In view of the special situation, as the holder of the collection, Mr. Jin, the legal person of the Macao Wrong Coin Museum, and Qian Kun, the holder of the free man wrong coin.

As well as Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, Shui Jingxin and Ke Feier and all the family members, sitting in a large private room in the Burj Al Arab Hotel at the moment, waiting for the auction to start through a 120-inch flat-screen TV.

At 8:55, the manager of Sotheby's, who hosted the Dubai auction, took the stage to deliver a speech and expressed his sincere gratitude to all the guests who came to participate in the auction.

At nine o'clock, the amorous female auctioneer made a grand debut.

She wore a golden dress, her hair was in a high bun, she folded her hands and gently placed her right abdomen, bent down and bowed, and said passionately after getting up: "Ladies and gentlemen, hello, I think all the guests know very well how great the holding of this special auction for wrong coins is to the righteous world. In human society, there is never a shortage of justice, but someone needs to ignite it. Next, let's use an unprecedented auction to reward those true heroes and heroes who do not hesitate to give everything for the just cause of mankind! ”

At the auction site of 1,500 people, applause was thunderous in an instant, like the tide of the Persian Gulf.

Although the female auctioneer was happy to see this extremely warm atmosphere, she still raised her arms like lotus roots, and gently pressed down gracefully, signaling the guests to be quiet.

"The first piece to be auctioned at this wrong coin auction is a 100-yuan coin with a 99-9 version of 100 yuan and 300 watermarks, and the last four digits of the serial number are superimposed on the date of issue of the currency.

So far, only two of these wrong coins have been found in the last four digits of the serial number 1999, which we commonly call the leopard number, and the year of issue 1999.

And the condition of this wrong coin is 9.9 points, which is close to perfection. The starting price is HK$18 million, with each increase of HK$2 million. ”

On the large screens on both sides of the front, the full picture of the wrong coin and the opening price are displayed at the same time.

But before the female auctioneer asked if there were any Tibetan friends who had bid.

The number plate at the bottom has been brushed up, someone directly quoted 30 million Hong Kong dollars, two minutes later someone reported 50 million, five minutes later to 80 million, eight minutes later exceeded 100 million, ten minutes to 150 million yuan, the next 200 million, in the end, actually 360 million Hong Kong dollars.

"It was an exciting and wonderful time for the first wrong coin buyer from the Gulf team. Congratulations to this Tibetan friend for coming out on top. The female auctioneer said passionately, and her words were more or less fanning the flames.

The auction scene is grand and exciting, like the tide of the sea, wave after wave.

The warm atmosphere in the venue made the audience in the private room crazy.

Yun Lei held her glass and clinked glasses with Qian Kun, Mr. Jin and Ya Liang one by one. Celebrate this rare and moving moment.

Shui Mingyue did the same, clinking glasses with her brothers and sisters with a drink, and said childishly: "It turns out that this is an auction, isn't that just spending a lot of money and changing it for a piece of money?" ”

This is the concept of children, who, in their immature minds, exchange many equivalent values for a banknote of the same denomination.

Among them, Ou Yiyi is the only one, and he is secretly frightened by the generosity of these local tyrants.

The price of this wrong coin is seven times higher than Sotheby's estimate!

Others, such as Vice Principal Shui, Bedar, Jiang Yushan, and even the two tutors, Meng Meng and Wen Jin, also have the same feelings.

The female auctioneer's magnetic voice resounded throughout the audience again: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your enthusiastic bidding, I might as well reveal in advance that the finale of this auction is a watermark missing 100 yuan coin with the same 99 edition, a major lack of monetary elements, which is rare in the history of money printing. We're planning to put it on for last. The next one to be auctioned is an 80-year version of a 50-dollar oversized Fuer coin, which is in very good condition, with a starting price of HK$8.8 million and a price increase of HK$1 million each time. ”

On the large screens on both sides of the venue in front of the venue, the details of the wrong coin and the starting price were displayed at the same time.

Like the first one, before the female auctioneer could ask if there were any Tibetan friends who had made a bid, the number plates of the entire venue were raised in unison.

Someone shouted 15 million Hong Kong dollars, then it was called 18 million, followed by 20 million, soon after 30 million, after a while, it exceeded 50 million yuan, then 60 million, 80 million...

The auction scene was so stormy and intense, and the tension was overwhelming.

The international industry association seems to be determined to win this time, although the number of people is far less than the Gulf region team, but the momentum of the bidding is not inferior to the other party.

After 20 minutes of fierce competition, this wrong coin was actually sold for 220 million yuan.

The buyer is a member of the International Chamber of Shipping (IAS) team.

And this price has greatly exceeded the psychological price of Ou Yiran and Yaliang, their expectations did not exceed the opening price, and the substantial premium of 21 times shows that the international industry association is also sincere.

Each of the next lots far exceeded Sotheby's estimate. At least also at a tenfold premium.

The more Ou Yiran looked, the heavier his heart became, and he obviously felt a sense of urgency not to vomit or be unhappy, so he quietly gave Yaliang a look, and the two of them walked out of the private room one after the other, and came to the side of the Burj Al Arab on the sea.

From here, you can see the Persian Gulf as far as the eye can see, the sparkling blue ocean, the speedboats cleaving the waves, and the seabirds soaring in the sky. White clouds in the clear blue sky.

"Eighty wrong coins, originally we estimated that all of them would be auctioned off, and they would not exceed one billion Hong Kong dollars. Now the two are already more than 500 million, and the total turnover may exceed 10 billion yuan! Ou Yiran said.

Yaliang looked quite relaxed, and said with a smile: "We are businessmen, and what we pursue is economic interests. Even if it exceeds 10 billion yuan, after calculating the 10 billion we estimated, the remaining 9 billion will be counted as compensation for Ou Zhou and Jiangyang in the just cause, and it will make up for their huge efforts at most. Therefore, there is no need for us to worry about this. ”

Ou Yiran nodded, and said worriedly: "Everyone's heart, it's good to say." If this matter is taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives, saying that we are taking the opportunity to hype up and grab profits, it will be uncomfortable. ”

"Mr. Ou, aren't we ready to show our attitude and position to the bidders and the media at the end of the auction?"

"I think Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang should be reminded so that they can be mentally prepared. After our statement, they should also say something. Otherwise, people will think we're putting on a show. ”

Yaliang nodded solemnly: "Okay, you can talk to them!" ”

After the two of them agreed, they returned to the private room.

In just a few moments, six more wrong coins were auctioned. Looking at the transaction price on the big screen, it is basically above 100 million yuan.

These wrong coins are carefully screened out by Ou Yiran and Yaliang, and there are many wrong points, each with its own merits, and under normal circumstances, the transaction price will not exceed 10 million.

Nowadays, however, each one is at a tenfold premium.

Ou Yiran looked at Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang and said, "How do you two feel about such a hot auction scene?" ”

Ou Zhou played word games with his father: "Although it is unexpected, it is also reasonable." ”

"Oh, how is it unexpected, how is it reasonable?" Ou Yiran smiled with interest.

Ou Zhou said: "Unexpectedly, I just didn't expect that the arrival of our dream cruise ship would fill in the heavy color of this auction." It makes sense that the buyers are obviously coming for us. ”

Jiang Yang also smiled: "Just as the auctioneer said, there is never a lack of justice in this world, but it needs to be ignited. And we, just like to ignite the power of justice. ”

Ou Yiran nodded and said with a smile: "However, the two major bidding teams are actively bidding, and they are clearly using this way to repay you for your great efforts for the just cause of mankind!" ”

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang glanced at each other and smiled happily: "The so-called everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and by doing so, they can gather more righteous forces and let the flame of justice illuminate every corner of the world." ”

Jiang Yang continued: "Only in this way can more righteous people stand up and form a huge force to completely defeat all the delusions and schemes of the evil elements. ”

Vice President Shui continued: "Upholding justice requires practical action, and it is through this auction that the International Shipping Association and the Gulf region team express their sincere hearts for the just cause of mankind. Only in this way can it be proved that evil will perish. ”

Bedar said, "Yes, a spark can start a prairie fire." You have proved the great power of the just world with your actions in the Sorbonne and the Gulf of Aden, and this auction has sent a clear message to the righteous people, that is, the power of the just world is vast and invincible. ”

Just when everyone sighed, more than a dozen wrong coins were traded, and the price basically fluctuated around 100 million yuan. It's like it's been said beforehand.

The popularity continued until midnight at 11:30 p.m., and it did not decrease in the slightest.

Because of the great enthusiasm of the scene and the full fermentation after being fueled by the media, the afternoon auction opened with a large number of online participants.

The price of each wrong coin is skyrocketing, and an hour later, the combined transaction price of the first 10 wrong coins has surpassed the combined transaction price of the last 10 coins in the first half of the day.

The auction scene was thunderous and exciting, you chased after me, competing for quotations, and the private room was also amazed.

At this moment, the total value of the 50 wrong coins that have been traded has exceeded 8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Most were bought by the Gulf team and the International Chamber of Shipping team.

The world's leading collectors are anxious, but they are not willing to return empty-handed. did not fight for face and breath, and after several fierce competitions, less than one-tenth of the wrong coins were auctioned.

And those scattered collectors can only sigh with admiration. For the sake of the just cause of mankind, originally, they also wanted to make a contribution, but they had no choice but to have enough spare strength.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the finale of the 99th edition of the 100 watermark missing 100 yuan coin was grandly unveiled.

The audience burst into thunderous cheers and applause. As soon as the shocking low price was quoted, it turned out to be 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars.

On the large screens on both sides, a partial enlarged picture of the wrong coin is also displayed, a comparison with a normal coin, and the opening price.

That price surprised Ou Yiran, thinking that the quotation clerk made a mistake and made an extra zero.

Yaliang couldn't help but stand up and exclaimed: "My God, the day before yesterday I said that the opening price was 8.8 million yuan, how did I suddenly open it to 1.8 billion Hong Kong dollars!" ”

Immediately, the passionate voice of the female auctioneer resounded throughout the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is the last finale of this special auction of wrong coins, it belongs to the Yiran Wrong Coin Museum, the error point is the lack of major elements, and the 100 watermarks are completely missing, so far it is the only product to see." The starting price is HK$1.8 billion, with a price increase of HK$10 million each time. ”

Before the words fell, someone in the Gulf region team called for 300 million Hong Kong dollars, and someone from the International Shipping Association team immediately called for 390 million yuan.

The price of only two lots has exceeded the transaction price of HK$360 million of the first wrong coin.

The wonderful market was completely ignited at this moment, and the team of big collectors was full of passion and immediately quoted 450 million yuan.

As soon as the words fell, someone in the Gulf region team quoted a price of 500 million yuan.

In the same team, someone followed up to 550 million yuan. This price is close to the two-dollar coin that swept the world a few years ago.

Ou Yiran and Yun Lei, who were sitting in the private room, stood up, and they couldn't help but have mixed feelings in their hearts.

The scene a few years ago seemed to be right in front of them, also in a coastal city, where the couple witnessed their two-dollar wrong coin, and in the frantic competition of several major bidders, they fetched a sky-high price of HK$580 million.

"HK$580 million, HK$600 million, HK$630 million, HK$660 million..."

The amorous female auctioneer kept reporting the price. The scene was thunderous, and her voice seemed to be a little hoarse.

Shui Jingxin and Ke Fei'er, who were sitting in the private room, held their hands on their chests, worried that she would tear her vocal cords in the next overly excited quotation session.

The audience screamed from time to time, some were amazed and some were appreciative.

The enthusiasm of the bidders was so great that the auctioneer had no time to take a sip of water.

God knows if she won't have a problem with her throat after this exciting day.

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang also looked at the beautiful female auctioneer worriedly. On the contrary, I don't care much about the price contest.

"700 million Hong Kong dollars, 750 million, 780 million, 800 million..."

Boom, the audience suddenly applauded thunderously, much more than the tide of the sea.

The female auctioneer took advantage of this spare time and quickly drank a glass of almond syrup.

Shui Jingxin and Ke Fei'er, Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, only then put their hearts back in their stomachs.

At the moment, the bidders are mainly from the Gulf region, and the International Shipping Association and the big collector team are already only watching.

"850 million, 860 million, 870 million, 880 million... Okay, deal. Congratulations to the Gulf team for winning the grand finale of this wrong coin auction. Thank you, thank you all for your passionate participation. ”

The auctioneer bowed affectionately, and then withdrew amid thunderous applause.

The head of the organizer of the auction returned to the stage and made an impromptu speech on behalf of Sotheby's.

Then, as the former holder of the wrong coin, Ou Yiran, the legal person of the Yiran Wrong Currency Museum, and Mr. Jin, the director of the Macau Wrong Currency Museum, and Qian Kun, a natural person, took the stage. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the guests who participated in the auction.

Ou Yiran made a speech on behalf of the three wrong currency holders: "Distinguished ladies and gentlemen, distinguished guests, this unprecedented special auction of wrong coins has been vigorously sought after by the International Shipping Association and the Gulf region team, as well as collectors from all over the world. However, we are deeply disturbed by the enthusiastic participation and selfless dedication of all the bidders, and for this reason, our three wrong coin holders unanimously decided that we will only keep the initial estimate given by Sotheby's auction company from the proceeds of this auction, and the excess will be handed over to Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, two practitioners of the power of justice. Let this fund play its due light and heat. Once again, I would like to thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation. At the same time, I hope that all collectors will not use this transaction price as a reference in the collection process of wrong coins in the future, so as to avoid falling into misunderstandings. Thank you. ”

Ou Yiran, Mr. Jin and Qian Kun, facing the reporters' cameras, bowed deeply to all the bidders.

All the bidders at the scene stood up and paid a noble tribute to the three former collection holders on the podium.

Ou Zhou and Jiang Yang, who were sitting in the private room, understood that the bidder's return gift contained full of enthusiasm and sincere blessings.

May this world always be peaceful.
