Most of the potential buyers in this auction were members of the Club or invited by the Club.

The higher the total price of the auction, the higher the commission he and the club will receive, and it will also have a great effect on the show jumping and dressage equestrian competitions held by the club.

Once the equestrian event becomes well-known, the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club will be able to host higher-level equestrian competitions in the future.

Therefore, it only took three days for the Jockey Club to make an atlas of all the horses on the auction and send them to the buyers.

At the same time, the pure black Hanover 'Black Jazz', who won the show jumping championship in the Olympic equestrian arena, was touted for the champion Knight, Wu Hao and Margaret.

The three champion horses are from the hands of the owner of a horse farm, so it can be said that as long as the news reaches the United States and England, the horse farm that keeps Chu Xiangqian will be famous in the horse racing industry all over the world.

And the result was just as Bridges had expected, among the buyers who came to the auction this time.

There are 2 royal families alone, and 7 agents of wealthy people with a fortune of more than 100 million US dollars.

The people with billions of dollars in assets this year have more influence than the billionaires worth more than tens of billions of dollars in a few decades.

Of course, some billionaires have a lot of money, but they have very little power, which is basically equivalent to just a rich person.

Just like Cao Dahua, the old man's family wealth, many wealthy families on Hong Kong Island are not as rich as him.

But in terms of influence and power on Hong Kong Island, even one community is more powerful than him.

However, in the film industry, Cao Dahua in the 60s is definitely one of the best.

Since the 50s, more than a dozen blockbuster movies have been filmed in a row, which is not comparable even to Uncle Long in the future.

In the future, if any star makes several blockbuster movies in a row, he can be regarded as a superstar, and if he has more than a dozen blockbuster movies in a row, it seems that there will be no such fierce people in the future.

——

The 20 horses were quickly led around the club's track, and experienced trainers could roughly see how well the horses were executing and coordinating.

As for whether the posture of the horse is beautiful, the horse from the novice village must not be said on the outside.

All of them are good-looking.

Soon someone began to mumble, and it seemed that there should be a target for him.

Chu Xiangqian, who has excellent hearing, even heard someone discussing how much money should be used to buy his target.

Five minutes later, the auctioneer officially walked up to the makeshift podium.

Because there were so many buyers participating in the auction, even the Jockey Club's large conference room looked smiling.

Chu Xiangqian simply suggested that the auction should be held on the day when there was no competition, and the auction site should be set up directly on the track.

Buyers sit in the audience and want to see the horses up close, or they can go to the fence and see the horses themselves two meters apart.

Soon, the first Hanover was brought out, and several buyers who were interested in buying it, also stood by the fence and stared at the horse.

The auctioneer first said a few opening words and a few words of caution before he began to introduce the white Hanover.

Let's not talk about the physical fitness of this horse, at least this horse is really beautiful.

Someone immediately increased the price to $45,000 after the auctioneer quoted a starting price of $40,000.

It seems that there are also Yan dogs among the rich.

After a few rounds, the value of the horse has risen to $70,000.

Chu Xiangqian secretly said that this was a good start.

This was followed by 10 Andalusian and 10 Hannover for a total of $1.56 million.

The average price of a horse is 78,000 US dollars, and the price of 304,000 Hong Kong dollars immediately set a new auction record for these two horses in Southeast Asia.

And 12 of them were all bought by an agent of the desert royal family, otherwise, the total amount would not have been so high.

After the first auction, the time has reached 11 o'clock, and after a 10-minute break, we will continue with the second Arabian horse auction today.

Ehime and the royal agent went to settle the settlement with the people from Standard Chartered Bank on the spot, and immediately took a check briskly, and ran to Chu Qianqian with a smile to ask for credit.

After deducting the club's 5% commission, the check for $1.482 million went to Chu Xiangqian, and Chu Xiangqian also praised Ehime a few words.

also promised her that when she went home, she would also ask her to find Xue Jinglan and go to the secret room at home to choose a piece of jewelry.

After seeing the pearl necklace that Zheng Sufen was wearing today, Cute Yuan changed her mind and wanted a necklace too.

Chu Xiangqian rubbed his sister-in-law's head and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll ask someone to find you a 14mm pearl necklace that is better than the ones worn by your sisters-in-law." ”

Ehime was overjoyed, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Zheng Sufen's expression, and sure enough, seeing this woman pouting slightly, Ehime's mood suddenly became better.

A 12 mm South Sea white pearl sells for 1,000 Hong Kong dollars, but when it comes to 14 mm, it costs 5,000 Hong Kong dollars a piece.

A 16-inch necklace, about 28 pieces, costs 140,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is indeed better than the pearl necklaces received by Fei Fei and Hong Kong Sheng.

As for Zheng Sufen, she can only be regarded as an outer room, and even more just a subordinate.

And for Chu Xiangqian, the cost of obtaining pearls is extremely low.

You only need to use cheap river pearls, take them into the novice village jewelry store, spend some silver coins to constantly refresh, and you can always refresh them into Nanyang sea pearls, and even colorful pillars.

Chu Xiangqian glanced at Zheng Sufen, the woman was busy cleaning up her expression, but Chu Xiangqian was more relieved of her.

If this can be done casually, or even expressionless, it will seem too thoughtful.

smiled and said to her, "Sister Fen, I will also give you a pair of 14mm sea pearl earrings when the time comes." ”

Zheng Sufen was stunned for a moment, and then showed a bright smile, Ehime hugged Chu Xiangqian's arm and shook it a few times in dissatisfaction, but Chu Xiangqian rubbed it on his head a few more times, and his hairstyle was a little messy.

Ehime slapped Chu Xiangqian's hand and muttered, "I hate it, I messed up my hair." ”

was about to tidy up by herself, but Zheng Sufen took the initiative to step forward and help her smooth her hair.

The appearance of this intimate big sister suddenly made Ehime, who had no mother since she was very young, suddenly feel that Zheng Sufen was much more pleasing to the eye.

Just as the second show was about to start, Ehime put her arm around Zheng Sufen and walked towards the hosting area with a smile.

When the two of them left, He Zanyuan walked to Chu Xiangqian with a smile and sat down, "Chu Sheng, are you interested in buying more gold?" ”

Chu Xiangqian understood after a little thought, it seemed that the gold had skyrocketed and plummeted before, making it more difficult for the He family to sell the gold purchased from South Africa.

When the price of gold soared to $45 an ounce, Chu Xiangqian put all the 20 tons of gold he borrowed from the Celestial Empire into the market.

Among the buyers, there are several large jewelers on Hong Kong Island, Southeast Asia and island countries.

Of course, these jewelers can't be so stupid as to eat nearly 30 tons of gold, but even if they only buy five or six tons of emergency, the demand for gold will decrease in the next year and a half.

In addition, more than 20 tons of gold were put into the London gold futures market, and the Federal Reserve of Magnesium also released a lot of gold into the market, suppressing gold prices.

In short, in the past two months, several tons of gold obtained by the He family in South Africa have been stored and have not found a buyer.

Replaced by Chu Xiangqian, naturally he has been staying still.

However, although the cost of the gold obtained by the He family is lower than the market price, if there is too much backlog, the pressure on liquidity will be great.

And to put it mildly, if you want to do this business for a long time, the most important thing to do is to sell it when you get it, and make a profit from it.

That is to say, no matter whether the price of gold rises or falls, as long as someone buys it, the He family can always make money.

Although it doesn't make much, it is better to be stable and long-lasting.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian also asked someone to inquire, although the He family has a gold mine in South Africa, the actual amount of mining is by no means as large as the amount actually sold by their family.

That is, a significant part of the source of gold, either bought from the hands of the African black uncle. Or, maybe they used some special means.

But either way, if there is a large backlog of gold, it is likely that the original procurement channels will reduce the amount of gold purchased.

Once the purchase is reduced, the gold supplier will inevitably be dissatisfied, and may sell the gold in their hands to others.

For the He family, this is the last thing they want to see.

After Chu Xiangqian thought about this, he asked with a smile, "That Uncle of Aomen, how much gold can you sell in a year?" ”

He Zanyuan was stunned for a moment, but then thought of this auction, just 10 Andalusian horses and 10 Hanoverians were auctioned for 1.56 million US dollars.

Chu Xiangqian bought 10 tons of gold a year, and it seemed that there was no pressure at all.

This is equivalent to its own gold business, which can solve 30 to 40 percent of the goods every year.

All of a sudden, Chu Xiangqian was in He Zanyuan's heart, that was his own big financier.

But Chu Xiangqian knew in his heart that although the price of gold would be suppressed at $35 per ounce this time, the gold crisis, or the dollar crisis, also led to a slow rise in gold prices that could no longer be suppressed.

Buying gold at this time is the best way to offset inflation.

And in the future, if you want to buy $35 an ounce of gold, it is basically impossible.

In less than three to five months, the price of gold will inevitably break through $35 an ounce again.

Otherwise, in October 61, 9 countries including magnesium country, England, and France would not have taken out 280 million US dollars of gold, all of which were deposited in England to stabilize the price of gold.

It's a pity that I thought it was good, but it didn't work out.

On the contrary, the more you want to stabilize the price of $35, the more investors in the market want to break this point.

Once the breakthrough is made, major investment institutions and financial institutions can use gold as a commodity to make profits.

And gold is indeed the best commodity for futures trading.

Chu Xiangqian bought 4 tons directly from He Zanyuan at a price of $35 an ounce.

And this is still the He family has only 4 tons of gold in their hands for the time being, otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would have bought 10 tons today.

As for the reason, of course, the auction amount of this auction was a bit unexpected by Chu Xiangqian.

Before the second auction began, the agent of the desert royal family took the initiative to come over and asked for his men to get close to the 20 Arabian horses.

Subsequently, another agent of the royal family also hurriedly brought someone over.

Chu Xiangqian has always been very kind to the gold owner, and after only thinking about it for a few seconds, he agreed to the request of the two families.

As for the reason, it is really a horse from the novice village, except for the difference in height, all other aspects can be compared to the best horses in the real world.

If two royal families can send a horse trainer to get close to the 20 Arabian horses, other buyers can naturally get the same treatment.

Suddenly, the auction was postponed for another 10 minutes, but Chu Xiangqian beckoned to Zhang Tianzhi.

"Brother Zhi, you call and tell Manager Qiu of the backbone branch that there should be many buyers coming over for dinner at noon. Let him vacate half of the dining area in the restaurant.

Also, pork is not allowed in today's dishes, and meat oil cannot be used even for oil. ”

Zhang Tianzhi nodded hurriedly and went to call.

When the auction began, sure enough, the agents of the two royal families were there, and the other buyers basically became spectators.

An Arabian horse that started at least $80,000 and sold for $3.1 million.

With an average of $155,000 equals £38,750, more than £10,000 more than the 10 Arabian horses sold at the last auction.

And the 20 horses took less than half an hour, half an hour earlier than expected, and they were all bought by the agents of the two desert tyrants.

Other buyers waited until the price exceeded $120,000, or £30,000, and then basically no one made any more bids.

I can only watch where the two local tyrants raised the price to $130,000, and then you buy one, I buy one, and I really met two that both of them valued, so I bid all the way to more than $200,000.

Chu Xiangqian's mouth was crooked with a smile, and Ehime in the presiding area looked at the two desert tyrants as if he was looking at two fools.

But in my heart, I was happy and applauded enthusiastically several times.

The two tyrants also knew that the price was high, but the 10 Arabian horses in the first half of the year were bought by another tyrant and brought back to the desert.

The speed was not too good, but in terms of endurance, it was better than any Arabian horse in the hands of the local tycoon.

One of them changed hands and sold for $200,000.

This can be regarded as among a small range of desert tyrants, and Chu Xiangqian's reputation as a horse under his name has begun.

This is also the main reason why the two agents, in this auction, dared to bid more than $200,000 all the way to the horse.

If the 20 horses brought back to the desert area this time, just like the last few horses, there will definitely be more desert tyrants who come to Hong Kong Island for auction in the future.

After getting the $2.945 million deducted from the 5% commission again, Chu Xiangqian took the initiative to invite two desert tyrants to dine at the branch in Causeway Bay.

Chu Xiangqian thought that the two agents and 6 entourages would not drink at all, but he didn't expect that it was not the same thing as what he thought.

Only then did I remember that I had read it on the Internet in my previous life, when the state-owned enterprises of the Celestial Empire promoted weapons and industrial products and invited desert tyrants to come to the Celestial Empire, they planned to strictly abide by the customs of the other party.

Only mineral water and several kinds of juice were prepared at the banquet, but I didn't expect the local tyrants who participated in the banquet to basically not touch mineral water and juice.

tried to serve the red wine produced by the Celestial Empire, and the other party actually began to raise his glass frequently.

It seems that the more forbidden things are, the more people try them, and they will continue to ban them repeatedly.
