Chapter 165: Unusually Hot (Three Watches Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Although some people have speculated like this before, when they really see the truffles on the stage, the visual impact is still very shocking. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
There are a total of 12 truffles, including 7 white truffles, each of which is no smaller than the one we just shared, and the remaining 5 black truffles are not much smaller than the white truffles.
With so many large truffles at one auction, perhaps everyone would be less surprised if the organizer was a traditional truffle dealer like the Grasso family.
But Xia Ruofei is just a little-known young man, and Taoyuan Company is a little-known small company, but it is really unbelievable that he took out so many huge truffles at once.
Moreover, many people noticed that in the middle of the display stand, there were 5 sealed containers covered under the red silk, and they did not meet everyone directly.
It also makes people think - the truffles that have been displayed in front of everyone are already big enough, but are the remaining pieces even bigger?
According to normal thinking, it must be so, good goods sink to the bottom!
But everyone thinks it's a bit too shocking.
For a while, there was a lot of discussion, and everyone's expectations for this auction became more and more intense.
Xia Ruofei smiled and said: "I will first auction these 12 truffles! I can guarantee that all white truffles are from the same origin, and the quality of black truffles is absolutely top-notch!"
After speaking, Xia Ruofei gestured to the side, and a professional auctioneer walked up to the stage.
There is a specialization in the art industry, and professional things are still left to professional people to do.
Xia Ruofei walked off the stage directly, came to Ma Xiong and sat down.
"Xia Sheng, the effect is very good!" Ma Xiong said with a smile and a thumbs up, "In just a few hours, Xia Sheng can come up with such a complete set of marketing plans, Xia Sheng is very business-minded!"
Xia Ruofei smiled humbly and said, "It's all Mr. Ma's rich resources, otherwise I won't be able to realize it no matter how much I have ideas!"
While the two chatted, this auction, which had earned enough eyeballs at the beginning, finally officially kicked off.
The first to be auctioned are 5 black truffles.
The auctioneer picked up a piece and put it on the electronic scale, then said with a smile: "Ladies and gentlemen, the black truffle that will be auctioned below weighs 356 grams, the starting price is 300 US dollars, and each price increase shall not be less than 50 US dollars, and everyone can bid below!"
The price of black truffles is generally lower than that of white truffles, basically only one-fifth or even one-tenth of white truffles, and the price of authentic French black truffles is basically about $500 per kilogram, but Xia Ruofei's black truffle alone weighs more than 300 grams, and the quality is extremely high, so the starting price is not expensive.
Of course, compared to the truffles that will be auctioned later, this is just an appetizer.
Maybe it was because the tasting session was too exciting - in fact, when the white truffle was shared just now, everyone had a share of more than $300 in a high-end Western restaurant - so everyone's enthusiasm for bidding was quite high.
In the end, the transaction price of this black truffle reached 800 US dollars, far exceeding the market price of black truffles, which made a good start for the press conference.
The weight of the next four black truffles gradually increased, the heaviest black truffle reached 538 grams, and the transaction price exceeded $1,000, and the black truffle over 500 grams reached $1,500.
Five pieces of black truffles brought Xia Ruofei nearly $6,000 in income.
Of course, this amount of money is nothing to Xia Ruofei, what he values more is everyone's enthusiasm for participation.
Seeing that the auctions of black truffles were so hot, Xia Ruofei's heart completely relaxed.
Next up is the auction of white truffles.
There are a total of 8 pieces of white truffles, of which the lightest piece has been shared with you for free in the previous link, and the remaining 7 pieces are all over 512 grams without exception.
The first white truffle, weighing 520 grams, was the first to be auctioned.
"Ladies and gentlemen, now is the exciting white truffle auction!" said the auctioneer in an infectious exaggerated tone, "I believe everyone has tasted the incomparable taste of white gold just now, and I was honored to get a share of it in the audience just now, it is really an unforgettable experience! ”
The auctioneer's exaggerated expression drew a good-natured laugh from the guests.
At this time, the auctioneer said with a straight face: "Okay, let's get down to business, the starting price of this 520-gram white truffle is $5,000, and each price increase shall not be less than $300!"
"$5,500!"
"$5,800!"
"$6,188!"
Perhaps because they had just tasted the same white truffle, the bids were much more enthusiastic than before, and the competition for the first white truffle was fierce, and the price soon reached $8,000.
After $8,000, the momentum of the price increase began to slow down a little, but it still increased a little bit.
Of course, Ma Xiong and a handful of other super-rich people didn't make a move – they were all targeting larger truffles that were still covered in red silk.
In the end, the first white truffle in tonight's auction was sold for $9,600, and a restaurant chain owner from Beijing got it.
In the auction of the next 6 white truffles, everyone was quite enthusiastic, and the transaction price did not disappoint Xia Ruofei - each of them exceeded 10,000 US dollars.
Especially the last piece of 878 grams of white truffle, which was auctioned for 50,000 US dollars, far exceeded Xia Ruofei's expectations.
The popularity of this noodle was also beyond Xia Ruofei's expectations.
7 pieces of white truffles brought Xia Ruofei a total of $130,000 in income.
The auctioneer smiled on the stage and said: "Thank you for your enthusiasm, the auction of the first batch of truffles has ended, and we have Mr. Xia Ruofei, general manager of Taoyuan Company!"
The venue immediately burst into warm applause, and the auction of the first batch of truffles has completely mobilized everyone's enthusiasm, and everyone is full of expectations for the next truffles to be auctioned.
Xia Ruofei walked onto the stage with a smile on his face, took the microphone and said: "We will have 4 truffles in the second batch to participate in the auction, I believe we will not disappoint everyone!"
Xia Ruofei didn't say much, and walked directly to the long display table.
Except for the largest sealed container in the middle, the red silk cloth covering the remaining four containers was all ripped off by Xia Ruofei......
