Chapter 160: The Fiery Auction (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Xia Ruofei really couldn't connect the sexy girl in the gym in the morning in three-point sportswear with the noble, generous, glamorous and moving heir of the Grasso family in front of him. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But that's just the way it is.
Monica Grasso, who is standing on the stage at the moment, is the sexy foreign girl Monica who talked happily with Xia Ruofei in the gym in the morning.
In fact, Monica saw Xia Ruofei as soon as she came to the stage - his position was too conspicuous, almost the center of the first row, and he was surrounded by the world-class billionaire Ma Xiong.
Monica was also slightly surprised when she saw Xia Ruofei, but it was much better than Xia Ruofei.
When saying goodbye at the door of the gym today, Monica saw Xia Ruofei walking towards the special elevator of the presidential suite, and at that time she had a hunch that Xia Ruofei's identity should be unusual.
Monica's dark blue beautiful eyes exuded a brilliance, and after her gaze stayed on Xia Ruofei for a moment, she showed him an elegant smile before looking around at the audience.
Monica's sexy red lips opened slightly, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much for taking time out of your busy schedule to participate in the truffle auction of our Grasso family, our Grasso's family has always attached great importance to the Chinese market, and this time we have specially placed the finale of this season's truffle auction in China." The Grasso family has been running truffles for more than 150 years, and we have always adhered to the ......"
Monica spoke eloquently on stage, exuding the innate confidence of aristocrats.
With such an eye-catching beauty standing on the stage, everyone will naturally not be impatient, and Westerners are not used to long speeches, Monica briefly introduced the truffles in this auction, and handed the microphone to the host.
Of course, she didn't get off the stage, but walked to the side of the chair and sat down.
After Monica sat down, she gently adjusted the hem of her skirt, and looked up at Xia Ruofei again, with a charming smile on the corner of her mouth.
Xia Ruofei also nodded slightly to greet her.
At this time, Lu You, who was beside Xia Ruofei, leaned closer to him and asked in a low voice, "Do you know that foreign girl?"
Xia Ruofei was stunned, although he and Monica on the stage "eyebrows" a few times, but he thought that they were all very hidden, but he didn't expect Lu You to find out all at once.
Xia Ruofei turned his head to look at Lu You and said, "I met in the gym today." ”
There is no need to hide it, I am above board, and I haven't done anything wrong.
Lu You pursed his lips and said, "I'll tell Jiang Yue when I go back!"
Xia Ruofei was confused, he was even stunned for a second or two before he remembered that Jiang Yue was the college student he had saved, Lu You's best friend in the same dormitory.
Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly: "Why did you suddenly mention Jiang Yue, what does this have to do with her?"
"Pretending to be confused. Lu You said lightly, and then sat up straight.
Xia Ruofei suddenly felt that 10,000 alpacas were galloping by, and said in his heart that this girl's thinking was too jumpy, and she refused to speak clearly, and she felt that communication was so difficult!
However, this occasion is obviously not suitable to ask anything, only to ask after coming down.
At this time, the auction has already begun on the stage.
In all fairness, the quality of the truffles that the Grasso family flew to China for auction this time is actually very good, for example, the white truffle now displayed on the stage weighs about 300 grams, and the transparent lid is lifted, and the rich fragrance of the white truffle immediately spreads.
This year, the price of white truffles was about $5,000 per kilogram, but after the auction of this 300-gram white truffle began, buyers were very enthusiastic, and the starting price from $1,000 quickly shouted to $5,000, which is more than three times the market price.
Of course, the truffles that the Grasso family put up for auction this time are of very good quality, and it is natural that the price is more expensive.
Moreover, the tradition of the Grasso family is that 5% of the proceeds from each auction will be donated to charity, and this auction in Huaxia will also be donated directly to the Huaxia Charity Foundation.
To be invited to participate in such an auction, they are also valuable business elites, and some of them are very fond of truffles, and they have the intention of doing charity, so they don't particularly care about the price.
In the end, the 300-gram truffle was sold for $5,888, which shows that the buyer was a Chinese.
A middle-aged man in his early forties in a suit auctioned the truffle and went to the staff with a smile to pay for it, and he also gave the auction a good start.
The auction went smoothly as well, with more than a dozen truffles fetching more than $5,000 in a row, and the truffles generally weighed around 300 grams.
Most of the buyers are from China.
Of course, some of the real heavyweights have not yet made a move, and most of the people participating in the auction are small and medium-sized entrepreneurs or restaurant operators.
As the auction progressed, the weight of the truffle monomers became heavier and heavier, and white truffles of more than 500 grams began to appear.
Everyone's enthusiasm was completely aroused, and some chefs of well-known Western restaurants began to participate in the auction - such white truffles can become the treasure of a Western restaurant, although the time limit is only two or three days, but it can bring great popularity and resounding fame to the restaurant.
The transaction price also rose rapidly, and soon a piece of white truffle of about 580 grams was sold for more than 10,000 US dollars.
However, some people have noticed that as a loyal fan of white truffles, Ma Xiong has not even paid a price, and has always sat firmly on the Diaoyutai with a smile on his face.
It is understandable if Ma Xiong did not make a move, after all, as a super-rich man, his vision is very high, and these truffles auctioned now may be very precious in the eyes of others, but Ma Xiong may not be eye-catching.
However, even Marc Lawrence, the chef of the French restaurant on the top floor of Hengfeng Realm Hotel, has no intention of participating in the auction at all, which makes everyone a little puzzled.
It stands to reason that the auction is at this stage, and it is the time when the competition for those high-end Western restaurants is the most intense!
Of course, many people only felt a little strange, and the atmosphere of the auction was warm, and everyone's attention was more on the stage.
The auction is ongoing, and Xia Ruofei roughly calculated that the total transaction price of the truffles in front should have reached about 300,000 US dollars.
Finally, the auctioneer said in a very infectious tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next step is the finale of the day! This is also the largest single white truffle collected by the Grasso family in this truffle season, weighing 1.45 kilograms! This is an almost world record weight!"
As soon as the auctioneer said this, the audience suddenly boiled......
