Take two days off
In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Wei rushed to the set as always, and Su Yang, who wanted to go to the school to see, received a call from Xu Tianyang.
"Boss, do you have time this afternoon?"
"What's wrong, are you in trouble?" Su Yang still took great care of this nearly 100-year-old subordinate.
"This afternoon, there was an autumn auction in Imperial Treasure Zhai, and they sent me a preview of the lot in advance, which seemed to have something that the owner was interested in. ”
"Something I'm interested in. Su Yang paused, already understood.
In his previous life, when he was on the beach, he liked to buy some strange small pieces of jade, including stalls and priceless antiques, all of which Xu Tianyang knew.
Of course, what Xu Tianyang didn't know was that the reason why Su Yang had this hobby was because of a combination of the secret method of the Demon Gate and a thaumaturgy he had researched.
This thaumaturgy infuses the vitality of the true qi of the sky into a spiritual jade piece, and although the probability of success depends on the spiritual strength of the jade piece, once successful, this jade piece is a priceless treasure that can save people's lives in times of crisis.
For example, if you are seriously injured, the vitality in the spirit jade will be released to save people, and if you are attacked by someone, the spirit jade will protect the lord and shatter, bursting out with strong true qi to resist a fatal blow.
Several finished products back then were given to the people around him by Su Yang, and he did save people with this, which made him have a lot of regrets.
Now the only remaining spirit jade is the jade pendant that Su Yang took out from the Huaqi Bank, and there is no superfluity.
"Tianyang, you mean there is a good jade auction there?"
"That's right, there are a total of 120 lots in this autumn auction, including more than 10 small pieces of jade, and I wonder if the owner may be interested, so I will call you to let you know. ”
"The auction sounds interesting. ”
Su Yang nodded and said, "Nacheng, when the time comes, you come to pick me up, and we will go together to see if there are any good goods." ”
In the afternoon, Xu Tianyang picked up Su Yang and soon came to the headquarters of Yubaozhai.
Speaking of Imperial Treasure Zhai, this auction agency has only been in existence for more than ten years, but it has a high reputation in the world.
Unlike the world's two most well-known auction houses, Sotheby's and Christie's, which are global auction chains that are open to everyone, Imperial Treasure Zhai does not target a wide range of people, and has only set up auction rooms in Shanghai and London, England.
If you want to participate in the autumn auction of Imperial Treasure Zhai, you must first be their member, and the most basic condition for becoming a member is a net worth of more than 100 million, in addition, when applying for membership, you must also accept a series of verifications and pay a membership fee of up to 300,000 US dollars per Chinese New Year's Eve.
Even so, the wealthy and powerful who want to become members of the Imperial Treasure Zhai are also flocking to it, and many times they are not necessarily there to buy things, but to join this world-class top circle and gild themselves.
Of course, the things that are auctioned at each auction are indeed exciting, and many objects that you have only heard of in rumors or have been lost in history are often seen here.
What's more important is that the backstage of the Imperial Treasure Zhai is hard enough, even the main leaders of a super-large municipality directly under the central government like Shanghai will show enough respect when they see the boss of the Imperial Treasure Zhai, which can be seen.
Another unique thing is that in each auction of Imperial Treasure Zhai, the participants will be required to send a thing they bring on the spot, and the highest final price of the on-site consignment will be exempted from handling fees, and the qualification of a lifetime member will be given.
To some extent, this peculiar regulation is also a major factor in the success of Imperial Treasure Zhai, and because of this regulation, many times people send photos not only for money, but also to gain a reputation in the world's rich and powerful circles.
Moreover, being able to become a lifelong member of the Imperial Treasure Zhai is a great political capital and glory for the upper class, even if it is a powerful person with a net worth of hundreds of billions, he is also quite enthusiastic about it.
An auction will be held every spring and autumn every year, and until now, the Imperial Treasure Zhai has been established for 14 years, with a total of 28 lifelong members, all of whom are world-renowned rich and powerful.
After all, there are too many rich and powerful people who are interested in winning this award, and they do not have enough background and capital, and it is nothing more than a fool's joke to want to come up with the consignment with the highest transaction price.
Xu Tianyang also obtained the qualification of a lifetime membership only four years ago, and he sent it for auction, and after it was confirmed as an authentic work, it finally ended up with 2. The sky-high price of 600 million US dollars was sold, and its transaction price can rank among the top ten in the previous buying auctions of Imperial Treasure Zhai.
It is precisely because of this that Xu Tianyang can lead Su Yang, who is not a member, to participate in the auction, and the lifelong member has an additional quota to participate in the auction.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the autumn auction is about to begin, and there are only more than 100 people participating in the auction, from all over the world, some of whom are quite familiar with each other, and even some of the family members who are at the pinnacle of wealth and power in the world are also present in person.
In addition, after the auction begins, more than 1,200 members around the world, even if they do not come to the site, can watch the auction through the live broadcast of the auction's private satellite in real time, and participate in the auction through the encrypted line.
Xu Tianyang knew that the owner didn't like to deal with messy people, so he sat down in a corner of the auction venue in a low-key manner, which was not very noticeable.
But the more you don't want to attract attention, the more people post it uninterestingly, and they are people who don't deal with Xu Tianyang much.
"Mr. Xu, I waited for you for a long time last year, but you didn't come to participate in the auction, it's very disappointing!" The person who came was a fat man with a slightly fat figure and squinted eyes, listening to his tone, he obviously had some old grudges with Xu Tianyang.
"Fortunately, I met this time, I wonder if Mr. Xu is interested in gambling with me?"
It turned out that when Xu Tianyang sent it to auction four years ago, this person also sent a rare treasure, and he thought that the highest transaction price in that auction was definitely himself, but Xu Tianyang suddenly rose up and grabbed the lifetime membership he thought he would get, and he still haunts it.
"Boss, such a layman, if you don't want him to be noisy, I will shoot him to death. In front of Su Yang, Xu Tianyang completely returned to the feeling of following him back then, and transmitted the sound to Su Yang.
Glancing at the nearly 100-year-old old subordinates beside him, Su Yang smiled and said: "Tianyang, when did you become so violent, I really can't imagine it, your hair and beard are gray, and your fighting and killing momentum has not diminished back then." ”
Xu Tianyang briefly informed Su Yang of the grievances between the other party and himself, which aroused Su Yang's interest.
"Sounds like fun, do you think this guy is ready to hit the highest price at this auction?"
"This yellow fat man should also be worth hundreds of billions, but his family industry is in the north of China, and there is a real power figure like the emperor of the northern soil in the older generation of the family, who has always been above the top, and after I won the lifelong membership a few years ago, he didn't bother me less, but he was too lazy to bother with him. ”
"I think he is bound to win this year, otherwise he wouldn't have come here to show off his power with me. ”
"Bet with him. ”
Su Yang is most accustomed to seeing people arrogant in front of him, even if it is not for himself, he can't tolerate it for the people around him.
"Owner, I don't have any preparation this time, I want to get the highest price in the whole market, and I won't be able to get such a lot for a while. Xu Tianyang said with a sad face.
"You don't need to take it, I have. ”
Su Yang smiled confidently, and quickly explained a few words with a sound transmission, Xu Tianyang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then turned his head to the fat man Huang on the side and said: "It seems that Mr. Huang has brought good things this year, but I, Xu someone, have never been afraid of being invited to gamble, since this is the case, it is better for us to bet a little bigger." ”
Huang Fatzi didn't expect that Xu Tianyang, who had already obtained a lifetime membership, would agree, he had absolute confidence in the consignment he brought, remembering the loss four years ago, and said proudly: "It's rare that Mr. Xu is so interested, what do you want to bet?"
"Bet on the consignment in your hands and mine, whose transaction price is higher. ”
"How about winning?"
"Not much, a billion dollars. Xu Tianyang, who had been privately taught by Su Yang, said indifferently.
"Billion dollars?!"
Huang Fatzi was stunned, he had realized his gaffe, and he couldn't be blamed for it, although he was worth nearly 100 billion yuan, but as the helmsman of the family business, such a huge amount of money was not something he could lose with his mouth.
But now that it is difficult to ride a tiger, Huang Fatzi took a deep breath and nodded expressionlessly: "Since Mr. Xu is so confident, Huang is accompanied by someone." ”
After the two made a gambling contract, they called the resident lawyer in the auction hall, and in less than ten minutes, a tripartite agreement had been signed.
As a businessman, the top management of Imperial Treasure Zhai immediately recognized that this was an excellent opportunity for hype, and in a very short period of time, the news was relayed by a webcast sent by private satellite to the world, which also attracted the attention of the wealthy all over the world.
In the long-bag presidential suite on the 25th floor of the Burj Al Arab Hotel in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Prince Al Had's eyes focused on a line of interstitial messages translated into Chinese and English, drank a glass of red wine, called a servant, and ordered: "Cancel the afternoon trip." ”
"A bet is worth about a billion dollars, so shouldn't the value of the lot be more expensive? ”
In the United States, on the private jet of the Rockefeller family, a man in his fifties looked at the screen in front of him with interest and muttered: "It seems that this will be an autumn auction with surprises." ”
On the top floor of the headquarters building of Japan's Sumitomo Chaebol, Sumitomo Hideta frowned for a while, although the billion-dollar bet aroused his interest, but he was more concerned about the lot in the hands of the two of them.
In Frankfurt, the Rothschild family's family castle, the Yassin-Rothschild family stared intently at the monitor, and excitedly called his sister Lin, who also had a hobby of collecting, to participate in this autumn auction that was just a quick glance.
