Chapter 590: The Battle Begins
Under the watchful eye, Huo Zhenggang held up a plaque on behalf of the Chinese delegation.
"$60 million!"
Huo Zhenggang's voice was loud, he held the bidding number plate in his hand high, and when he opened his mouth, he directly increased the original price by 10 million US dollars.
Suddenly, the Chinese delegation became the focus of the audience, and the eyes of everyone at the scene and the lenses of all the live broadcast equipment were all focused here.
Afterwards, everyone looked at the location of the Japanese delegation.
Sure enough, after the Chinese delegation took the lead, the Japanese delegation followed closely behind, also raising the bidding number plate in its hand.
"$100 million!"
With the sound of the Japanese delegation's majestic voice Yanagawa, the scene, which was already faintly noisy, was in an uproar, and everyone looked at the location of the Japanese delegation with some disbelief, and no one expected that the Japanese delegation would show such a tough attitude.
"It's crazy, the two sides raised the price to $100 million after just one bidding, it's really exciting, it's really worth the trip!"
"Originally, I was more optimistic about the Chinese side, but now the attitude shown by the Japanese side is too tough, and it stands to reason that it should not be!"
"An ordinary album can be priced at $100 million, what is there in this album that makes both China and Japan so crazy?"
"I don't know, since the news came out, Christie's auction house has further reduced the number of borrowing places for that album, and only a very small number of people have seen that album, I think there must have been people on both the Japanese and Chinese sides who have seen that album!"
"At present, the record of the most expensive auction item in the world is Leonardo da Vinci's "Salvator Mundi" sold in 2017, and the price of the hammer is 400 million US dollars.
……
There was a lot of discussion at the scene, and the vast majority of people came here to watch the excitement, they are neither Chinese nor Japanese, so no matter who this album ends up in the hands of, they don't care.
At this moment, Huo Zhenggang, who was sitting in the center of the Chinese delegation, couldn't help but sink in vain after he heard the Japanese delegation's offer.
Originally, he chose to increase the price by 10 million US dollars at one time because he planned to take the lead and strengthen his own momentum, but he never expected that he would be given a counter-general by the Japanese delegation.
$100 million is already all they have raised.
Fortunately......
They have been prepared, and they have spare funds to use, otherwise they will really be embarrassed and thrown into the world this time.
Huo Zhenggang glanced at the side, the other party nodded at him imperceptibly, and then the other party took out his mobile phone and began to call.
Tonight, many bigwigs in China are also paying attention to the situation on this side, even those who are older and go to bed early, they all keep their mobile phones open at all times, so that they can answer calls at any time.
Whenever the national righteousness comes first, the Chinese people have always been very united.
This side began to contact the domestic bigwigs, and Huo Zhenggang raised the bidding number plate in his hand again, he thought about it again and again, and felt that this momentum still could not be dispersed, so he shouted loudly: "150 million US dollars!" ”
If you add $40 million, I'll add $50 million.
Who's afraid of whom?
Who instigated whom?
Huo Zhenggang directly studed the 50 million reserve money prepared by their Huo family and the He family into it at one time, and he didn't believe that the Japanese delegation had unlimited bullets in its hands, and it could withstand the pressure and raise the price at a higher price.
In fact, Huo Zhenggang really made the right bet.
Although the Japanese delegation is relatively well prepared, it is not an infinite bullet, and if they want to continue to press the Chinese delegation's offer, it means that they will have to increase the price by at least 60 million US dollars for this offer.
With such consumption, they really can't stand it.
Yanagawa Yuliang's expression changed, and finally with a slightly gloomy face, he raised the bidding number plate in his hand and quoted for the second time: "160 million US dollars!" ”
Obviously, Yanagawa chose to back down.
This made the Chinese delegation and the hundreds of millions of Chinese people in front of the TV show a little excitement, while the Japanese delegation has a slightly gloomy expression.
"Warwick is the president, and he can support us with 30 million US dollars."
Just after the second confrontation between the two, just after the first call, she whispered a number to Huo Zhenggang, but she didn't have time to say anything, and then dialed the second number.
The ammunition was replenished, Huo Zhenggang had some bottom in his heart, he knew that it would take time over there, so after the Japanese delegation slowed down the rhythm, he also slowed down the rhythm and started a tug-of-war with the other party.
……
In the general control room of Auction Hall 1, Miguel Rena stood in front of the huge curved floor-to-ceiling windows, looking down on the audience condescendingly, and behind him were many staff members, all of whom were highly nervous, the scene was busy and orderly, and a tense atmosphere was in the air.
"President, according to the statistics from various broadcast platforms, there are about 258 million people around the world who are watching our live broadcast."
"At the same time, the topics about our auction house are basically at the top of the hot list of major online media platforms in the world, with 56% of the topics being positive, 28% of the topics being neutral, and 16% of the topics being negative......"
While Miguel Rena was watching the auction below, his assistant walked up to him and reported to him the data report he had just gotten in his hand.
"Hmmm......"
"I know, let them continue to count, always pay attention to the dynamics of public opinion, and report to me every fifteen minutes."
Miguel Reina bowed slightly, and instructed the assistant beside him.
"Okay, I'll arrange it right away."
When the assistant heard this, he immediately took out his mobile phone and conveyed Miguel Reina's instructions as soon as possible, and then he stood sideways behind Miguel Reina, as quiet as a wooden man.
At this moment, the auction hall below has completely become a battlefield for the competition between China and Japan, with the price increase between the two sides getting smaller and smaller, and the frequency of quotations getting faster and faster.
Today, the price of this album has exceeded $200 million, and it is moving towards the $250 million threshold at a very fast speed.
The auction seemed to be in a state of anxiety, but everyone at the scene could see that both sides had a little temptation, and they both wanted to kill each other with one blow after detecting each other's bottom line.
"Let's go!"
"Let's go down!"
Miguel Rena stood above and watched for a long time, then suddenly turned around and threw a sentence at the assistant next to him, and then walked straight outside the main control room.
Such a bid is not exciting!
Only by being present at the scene can we be worthy of this wonderful!
