Chapter 168: The Super-Rich Compete
After Xia Ruofei finished speaking, he directly handed the microphone to the auctioneer, and then walked off the stage confidently to sit down. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The auction has been developing according to the plan set by Xia Ruofei from the beginning, and even if there is an unexpected factor like Blake, it will not have any impact.
Now that everyone's enthusiasm has been fully mobilized, and the atmosphere of the auction has reached its highest point, everything will naturally fall into place.
Auctioneers are also enthusiastic – such climactic auctions are not something you can expect to come across very often.
He said in an infectious voice: "Okay, ladies and gentlemen, the auction of this piece of the heaviest single white truffle ever sold has officially begun, and the starting price is ......."
The auctioneer paused for a second or two before saying, "$0!"
"You can bid as much as you want, and each time you add no less than $10,000!" the auctioneer said.
His voice fell, and there was silence for a moment in the audience, and then a silver-haired old man in China smiled and held up the sign, saying, "Then I'll make a price to explore the way first, huh...... $800,000!"
Suddenly many people in the venue sighed, as soon as the price of this old man came out, many people who still had a trace of illusion now have completely shattered hope.
Sure enough, the starting price of 0 yuan is a gimmick, in the final analysis, it is still a game for the super-rich, and it is impossible to pick up the leak.
Seeing this, Ma Xiong smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, it seems that you are determined to win!
The silver-haired old man's name is Gu Hongyang, and he is the chairman of Runcheng Real Estate Group. As the CEO of one of the top three real estate groups in China, his net worth is comparable to Ma Xiong, and $800,000 is nothing to him.
Gu Hongyang listened to Ma Xiong's words and said with a smile: "Didn't I hear that Mr. Ma is not ready to fight with us?
Ma Xiong laughed out loud when he heard this.
At this time, a middle-aged man with a big belly held up a sign with a smile and said, "Since the old Gu has made a move, then I will join in the fun!"
Ma Xiong couldn't help but be happy when he saw it, knowing that there was a lively scene today. He also glanced at Xia Ruofei beside him, and said that Xia Sheng's luck is really good, and this piece of white truffle will definitely fetch a high price today.
This big fat man's name is Ge Long, and he also runs a real estate company, and the Julong Real Estate Group under his name also ranks among the top ten in the country.
Peers are enemies.
And Ge Long and Gu Hongyang perfectly interpret this sentence.
When the two companies were very small, the competition between them was fierce, and now both companies have become real estate predators, but the two are still fighting.
It's not that the enemies don't get together, these two people get together, and the auction price can't be high.
Sure enough, Gu Hongyang's face sank when he heard this, and after snorting coldly, he raised his card and said loudly: "900,000 US dollars!"
Suddenly, some of the guests who were not strong enough had a chance to bid before they had a chance to bid, and they had completely become spectators.
Ge Long was still smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, and he held up the sign unhurriedly and said: "910,000 US dollars! Lao Gu, no matter how much you give, I will have 10,000 more than you!"
Obviously, Ge Long's city government is deeper, and he can't be happy or angry, while Gu Hongyang seems to be a little irritable, and his emotions are written on his face.
Gu Hong snorted and said, "Then what if I pay 100 million US dollars?"
Ge Long smiled and said, "Then you are out......"
Everyone immediately burst into laughter, Gu Hongyang was naturally angry, how could he really offer such an outrageous price of 100 million US dollars? If he really called out this price, Ge Long would not follow 100 percent, then Gu Hongyang would really become a laughing stock.
At this moment, a Westerner dressed in a delicately cut kiton custom suit smiled gently, and then said in fluent Chinese: "Both of you have been fighting for so many years, or this time they will each take a step back, right? Let me spend money, I will pay 1 million dollars!"
Ma Xiong couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Mr. An, I thought you were going to be a peacemaker......! Haha!"
This Westerner, who speaks Chinese fluently, is named An Zaihua, in fact, he grew up on Ao Island since he was a child, and in addition to looking foreign, he is actually a genuine and native of Ao Island.
An Zaihua's identity is also very unusual, he is the son-in-law of He Gambling King on Ao Island, and he is deeply respected by He Gambling King, and has managed several casinos on Ao Island, which can be described as unique.
An Zaihua smiled slightly and said: "Mr. Ma, I am just for the two of them to break the siege! Otherwise, if you fight for me, won't you all get cheaper than the little brother next to you in the end?"
Gu Hongyang snorted lightly and said, "Thank you Mr. An for your kindness, I haven't put it in my eyes for just one or two million US dollars." ”
Ge Long also said with a smile: "Mr. An, everyone competes with their strength." ”
Ahn Jae-hwa shrugged his shoulders, obviously not expecting his words to persuade the two to retreat.
Ge Long looked at Gu Hongyang, and saw that Gu Hongyang didn't mean to speak, so he smiled directly and said: "Since Mr. An is so generous, then I will also add a little, 1.05 million US dollars!"
The atmosphere in the venue became more and more enthusiastic.
At $1.05 million, it is definitely the highest price in the history of truffle auctions.
Before Xia Ruofei took out this white truffle, the world's largest white truffle of about 1.89 kilograms was finally sold for a staggering $60,000, but it was definitely an accident in the auction.
In fact, before the auction, a buyer paid $1 million, but the owner of this white truffle wanted to maximize the profits, so he insisted on taking the auction path, and ended up losing money.
But even if measured by the buyer's bid of 1 million before the truffle auction, Xia Ruofei's 1.05 million yuan for this white truffle today is definitely a sky-high price.
This time it was Gu Hongyang's turn to disgust Ge Long, he raised his sign and said coldly: "1.06 million US dollars! Ge Long, just 10,000 more than you!"
"1.08 million!" An Zaihua thought for a while, and raised a sign to quote the price.
It can be seen that Ge Long and Gu Hongyang are competing, but An Zaihua really wants to take pictures of this white truffle.
Now An Zaihua is also a little annoyed, Ge Long and Gu Hongyang are fighting like this, this price can't be low!
"1.1 million!" Gu Hongyang shouted.
Ge Long immediately smiled and shouted, "1.11 million US dollars!
"1.12 million!" Gu Hongyang was not to be outdone.
"1.13 million!" Ge Long did not hesitate to increase the price.
An Zaihua was speechless for a while, he thought about it, he really didn't want to continue to watch the two of them bidding like cockfights.
So he simply raised the sign, gritted his teeth and said: "1.2 million US dollars! two, this is my highest psychological price, if you are willing to pay a higher price, then An will be willing to bow down!"
