Chapter 671: The Finale Lot
Ma Zhiming, who was sitting next to Xia Ruofei, couldn't help but turn his head to look at him with some envy.
Ma Zhiming is not hot about the income of Taoyuan Company this time, tens of millions of funds are nothing in the eyes of his wealthy family, he just envies Xia Ruofei's company has only been established for more than a year, and the team is so young, but it can achieve such dazzling results.
Ma Zhiming also inherited Ma Xiong's business acumen, and his family's business empire has begun to be slowly controlled by him, and a few years ago, Ma Zhiming used the funds given to him by Ma Xiong to open a company, and the benefits are also very good.
It's just that no matter what kind of achievements he makes, he will inevitably be labeled as Ma Xiong, and others are more envious of his good life, excellent reincarnation skills, and having a good father, but often ignore his own efforts.
This situation is somewhat similar to that of the king in the mainland.
Therefore, Ma Zhiming is also particularly envious of young people like Xia Ruofei who started from scratch and built his own business kingdom from scratch.
Xia Ruofei sat under the stage, her eyes fell on Feng Jing on the side of the stage, she always had a faint smile on her face, exuding strong confidence. Feng Jing also seemed to have a feeling and set her eyes on Xia Ruofei, and the two of them smiled together.
At this time, the auction of the second excellent abalone has begun, this abalone weighs about 613 grams, and the bidding is also quite enthusiastic.
In the end, this abalone was sold for 2.92 million Hong Kong dollars, and the bidders in the ordinary area were also successful, and this is a well-off old gourmet.
The auction went pretty smoothly.
Starting from the third abalone, the transaction price has exceeded 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
Xia Ruofei in the audience couldn't help but sigh for a moment, he and Tang He had a small agreement, that is, if the transaction price exceeded 3 million Huaxia yuan, the sales of abalone produced by Taoyuan Company in North America in the future would be entrusted to Shengbang Group.
Now it seems that he must have lost the bet.
3 million Hong Kong dollars and 3 million Huaxia coins are basically equivalent, and there are still fifteen abalone waiting to be auctioned behind, and the weight is gradually increasing, it is not too easy to break through 3 million Huaxia coins.
Of course, if such a bet is lost, Xia Ruofei will not have any frustration.
With the strength of Shengbang Group, the cooperation area is the base camp of Shengbang Group, and Taoyuan Company will not suffer a loss.
Xia Ruofei's principle is that except for the special case of Wonderland Farm, the company's equity must not be diluted, and he has no plans to go public in the future, he wants to control the company 100% in his own hands.
As for the development of the company, cooperating with some other companies, this Xia Ruofei will not be excluded at all.
This auction was broadcast live on the Internet, Xia Ruofei didn't know if Tang He was watching it in front of the computer, if he did, this old man should be quite proud now, right? Xia Ruofei thought in his heart.
Abalone is auctioned off one after the other.
Everyone's enthusiasm for bidding has always been very high, and the transaction price has also risen all the way, until about 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars, it has stabilized a little.
The first 18 top-quality abalone were quickly sold out, and in the end, the average transaction price of each abalone was about 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars, plus the three super-large two-headed abalone that warmed up in front of the scene, the total transaction amount reached about 70 million Hong Kong dollars, which has greatly exceeded Xia Ruofei's expectations.
In fact, after the auction of abalone weighs more than 620 grams, it is basically a competition between those rich people in the VIP area, and the last two abalone weighing 630 grams The price has exceeded 4 million Hong Kong dollars, so the average transaction price of the first 18 abalone will be raised to about 3.6 million Hong Kong dollars.
At this point in the auction, there are only three finale abalones, which are the heaviest and highest quality of the lots.
More than half of the rich people in the VIP area have not made a bid at all, and there are only about a dozen people who bid for abalone.
These are billionaires, so everyone's goal is actually focused on the final finale, and it is conceivable that the competition for these three abalone will be quite fierce, especially the last "abalone king" weighing 653.2 grams, which is estimated to set off a "bloody storm".
Everyone is looking forward to this exciting moment.
Even many of the rich people in the VIP area are eager to try.
Lu Zhongguang's voice was also a lot more excited, and he said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next auction is our finale! The last three abalone all weigh more than 635 grams, far higher than the standard of one abalone!
There were three trays on the display table in the center of the center stage, all covered with red silk cloth, and Lu Zhongguang directly ripped off the red silk cloth on one of the trays on the left, revealing a huge abalone.
"Without further ado, let's start the auction of the first finale abalone!" Lu Zhongguang didn't need to look at the reminder card at all, he already knew the situation of these three abalones, "The weight of this abalone is 638.8 grams, the starting price is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is not less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars each time!"
As soon as Lu Zhongguang's words fell, someone in the VIP area immediately raised a sign.
"3.5 million!" shouted a middle-aged man holding a sign.
"Mr. Dong of Jialin Industrial bid 3.5 million Hong Kong dollars!" Lu Zhongguang said immediately.
As soon as Lu Zhongguang's words fell, the new quotation was immediately refreshed.
"HK$3.6 million!"
"3.8 million!"
"HK$4 million!"
After three consecutive quotations, the price of this abalone has soared to 4 million Hong Kong dollars in just a moment.
This is actually very normal, and two of the abalone in the previous auction were both over 630 grams, and the transaction price exceeded 4 million Hong Kong dollars.
This one is close to 640 grams of finale abalone, and there are a lot of rich people in the audience who are not bad at all, and these people are too lazy to add 100,000 or 100,000 yuan, because anyway, the final transaction price must not be lower than 4 million, and everyone knows it very well.
There was only a second or two difference between the three offers, so Lu Zhongguang only had time to quote the last offer: "Mr. Li of Cheung Kong Group quoted 4 million Hong Kong dollars!
The guests in the audience couldn't help but look sideways - even Li Chaoren's son couldn't help but make a move, the charm of this abalone is really great!
However, even if it is the son of Li Chaoren, it is impossible to stop the enthusiasm of other people's offers, which one of the people seated in the VIP area is not worth billions?
So soon this price was refreshed again.
"Haha! I'll pay 4.1 million Hong Kong dollars!" a rough man in his thirties grinned and held up a sign.
"Okay, Mr. Zheng of New United Group quoted HK$4.1 million!" Lu Zhongguang said with some excitement.
This Mr. Cheng's name is Zheng Zhilun, the nephew of Zheng Yutong, the founder of New United Group, and his status is comparable to Li Chaoren's sons, Li Kai and Ma Zhiming, and he ranks among the top of the second generation of wealthy people on Hong Kong Island in terms of financial resources and influence.
"Then I'll join in the fun!" a lazy voice rang out, "HK$4.3 million!"
This is a mature woman in an expensive evening dress, the corners of her mouth are slightly upturned, revealing a faint smile.
Seeing this, Lu Zhongguang was even more happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Ms. He of Xinhao Group bid 4.3 million Hong Kong dollars! The competition for this abalone is very fierce! Guests who are interested in bidding, please hurry up and bid!"
This Ms. Ho's full name is He Xinyi, and her father is a well-known gambling king on Hong Kong Island.
Among the guests attending tonight's auction, Li Kai, Zheng Zhilun and He Xinyi are undoubtedly the three with the highest net worth, and now these three people can't help but participate in the auction, and it is difficult for the price to be low.
Zheng Zhilun saw He Xinyi make a move, and immediately shrugged his shoulders and said: "Lady first! Since Miss He likes it, then I will give up, anyway, there should be a chance to ...... later."
He Xinyi immediately bowed slightly to Zheng Zhilun and said, "Then thank you Zheng Gongzi!"
After speaking, He Xinyi set her eyes on Li Kai, who was also sitting in the first row.
Li Kai smiled slightly and said: "I appreciate Mr. Zheng's demeanor, but I think the demeanor is a bit wrong! Since everyone is here to bid, they should naturally not give an inch when they encounter something they like! If everyone is like Mr. Zheng, I think Hengfeng Auction House should be very depressed......
Everyone burst into a burst of good-natured laughter.
Li Kai is also telling the truth, the auction house naturally hopes that everyone will compete as fiercely as possible, if everyone is like Zheng Zhilun to carry forward the style, then how to sell at a high price!
Zheng Zhilun was a little embarrassed, but he still maintained a good demeanor, just smiled slightly, and then spread his hands and did not refute it.
And Li Kai said lightly: "4.5 million Hong Kong dollars!"
A trace of unhappiness flashed in He Xinyi's eyes, she didn't expect Li Kai to lose face at all, and to increase the price by 200,000 at one time, which is obviously inevitable.
The abalone in the previous auction, if it were in normal times, would definitely be considered a fine product, but with the backdrop of these three finale lots, it would be a little difficult to get into He Xinyi's eyes.
So He Xinyi didn't make a bid until the 638-gram abalone was auctioned and then joined the bidding.
Because she knew that the competition for the last three abalone must be getting fiercer and fiercer, and it was best to take one as soon as possible, otherwise it was really possible to go home empty-handed today.
Now Li Kai obviously has the same thoughts.
There is no way to trick up, He Xinyi can be regarded as free and easy, she just groaned slightly, then raised the sign and said: "4.9 million Hong Kong dollars!" Li Gongzi, if you are willing to pay more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, then I can only endure the pain of cutting love......
The money of the rich family is not blown by the wind, on the contrary, the children of these business tycoons have been working hard in the shopping mall for many years, and they have been exposed to these since they were children, and they have always maintained a rational attitude towards money.
He Xinyi added 400,000 Hong Kong dollars at one time, and her attitude was quite clear, this was her last bid, and it was also the highest price in her psychology, if Li Kai continued to increase the price, then she would give up.
When Li Kai heard this, he smiled at He Xinyi and said, "Then I will thank Miss He!"
After speaking, Li Kai raised the sign without hesitation and said loudly: "5 million Hong Kong dollars!"
This is the first time that the auction has exceeded the 5 million mark today, and the guests in the audience can't help but talk excitedly, and the reporters are even more excited, some are busy taking pictures, and some are directly tapping on their laptops.
There are too many gimmicks in this auction today, and there are a lot of points to write about. It is estimated that as soon as the auction is over, many reporters' special articles have been completed.
Lu Zhongguang immediately said: "Okay! Mr. Li of the Cheung Kong Group quoted 5 million Hong Kong dollars! Is there anything higher?"
When Lu Zhongguang spoke, his eyes looked directly at He Xinyi.
Because in fact, in the end, He Xinyi and Li Kai are competing, and some others don't have the financial resources, and some don't want to offend these two famous second-generation giants, so they all quit the competition early.
The daughter of this gambling king is also quite fatherly, and shrugged her shoulders very shamefully and said, "I give up!"
"The current offer is 5 million Hong Kong dollars! Is there anyone else who wants to bid?" asked Lu Zhongguang.
"5 million for the first time!"
"5 million for the second time!"
"5 million for the third time!"
With a bang, the auction hammer fell, and the first finale of abalone was included in Li Kai's pocket at a price of 5 million Hong Kong dollars.
Lu Zhongguang did not deliberately delay the time when he counted down, and the interval between the three countdowns was not very long, and then he simply dropped the hammer.
There was warm applause in the venue, and Li Kai also got up and bowed slightly in several directions, with a hint of joy on his face.
This time it was not in vain!
He Xinyi also smiled at Li Kai, looking very personable.
Lu Zhongguang grasped the rhythm of the auction very well, and after the applause gradually weakened, he immediately began the auction of the second finale abalone, which weighed 640.3 grams, which was a little heavier than the abalone sold for 5 million.
At what price will this abalone be sold?
The starting price is still HK$3 million.
As soon as the auction began, the wealthy in the VIP area began to bid.
This time, He Xinyi still participated in the competition, and Li Kai had no intention of bidding again this time after winning a superb abalone as he wished-he didn't give an inch just now, at least he bid before He Xinyi, and if he came out to grab it again this time, it would be a bit too faceless, and it would basically be a half-torn face.
These rich sons and ladies are not low in emotional intelligence, and Li Kai will not do such an unprovoked offense.
Zheng Zhilun was a little embarrassed, he had already released his words to He Xinyi before, but he didn't expect He Xinyi to rob Li Kai, and this second round immediately participated in the auction again.
The words were all spoken, and Zheng Zhilun was embarrassed to fight with He Xinyi again, so he didn't even have a symbolic bid, so he sat on the seat depressed.
Of course, without Li Kai and Zheng Zhilun, the intensity of competition is not low at all.
Because there are still many rich people in the VIP area, most of these people have not yet bought the best abalone, and seeing that there are only two left, they also start to bid.
So the price of this abalone also soared, and soon came to 4.8 million Hong Kong dollars.
And after several rounds of bidding, it broke through 5 million Hong Kong dollars without difficulty.
In the end, it was He Xinyi who won the abalone with a more auspicious figure of 5.2 million - although she said that her psychological price was 4.8 million in the previous round, but this abalone was a little heavier than the previous one, and it exceeded 640 grams, plus the competition was also a lot fiercer.
So He Xinyi also raised her psychological price a little, and finally succeeded in winning this abalone.
In a blink of an eye, Xia Ruofei once again earned 10.2 million Hong Kong dollars, and today's total transaction price also exceeded 80 million Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, there was still the last super-large abalone left on the stage, weighing 653.2 grams, much higher than the previous lots, and it can be said that it is a well-deserved "abalone king".
What will be the price of this abalone? Everyone looked to the only tray on the table that was still covered with red silk.
