Chapter 46: Find a Trust
"Damn the poisonous tongue man, does the old lady look so ugly? You actually said that you like me with a heavy taste, are you blind? I knew that this was the case, the old lady should not have rescued you, let the Lord of Yama accept you, let you come out and hurt people!"
Huo Sining sat in his seat and was still indignant, and couldn't help but turn his head and glared at Gu Xu on the other side of the venue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Su Jinyuan, who was on the side, glanced at Huo Sining with some confusion:
"What are you muttering to yourself, where have you been to the people who just couldn't find you anywhere?"
"Didn't say anything, I just ate over there. Huo Sining was depressed and said angrily.
Seeing this, Su Jinyuan immediately smiled: "Ordinary people come here to have a relationship with the people in the circle, and I'm afraid that there are only a few people who come to eat, you are really an alternative." ”
As soon as he heard that he was an alternative, Huo Sining's mood was even more unhappy.
The word alternative doesn't sound like a compliment.
And when he heard Su Jinyuan say something different, Huo Sining couldn't help but think of the fact that he was said to be a heavy taste by Gu Xu before, and suddenly black lines appeared on his forehead, and his face darkened.
Soon the auction began, and many people came forward to observe and appreciate every piece of fine art.
Huo Sining doesn't understand antiques, and when he encounters something interesting, he will go on stage to see something new, but most of the time he can't be interested.
However, those bosses raised their cards and shouted the price, and the bidding price increase was like no money, Huo Sining watched it with great interest and sighed.
It was almost time for the finale to come to the stage with Huo Sining's piece of ambergris.
The large box was moved to the booth and opened by the staff, and the stench emitted by the contents of the box instantly filled the entire venue.
Many people covered their noses, frowned and asked, "What stinks so much?"
Of course, people who have never seen ambergris don't know what to do, but those who know ambergris have their eyes lit up in an instant.
A few even eagerly got up from their seats, their eyes staring at the box on the stand.
Huo Sining was also a little nervous, as the owner of ambergris, of course she hoped that the price of that piece of ambergris would sell as high as possible.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem, I checked it for you in advance, three of the people who participated in this banquet are the general agents of French luxury companies in China, and I can't guarantee the others, but these three companies are competitive in the perfume area, and they will not let go when they see such a good ambergris, as long as they compete to shout the price, you will not worry about selling this thing." ”
Seeing that Huo Sining was nervous, Su Jinyuan hurriedly opened his mouth and said with relief.
Huo Sining was a little surprised, she originally saw that this private auction was basically antique jewelry and other things, and she was a little worried about whether her ambergris would be auctioned, but now when she heard Su Jinyuan's words, she instantly understood.
No wonder Su Jin would have agreed to the organizer's request to send ambergris over, and it turned out that he was going to the three luxury companies.
Ambergris is an aromatherapy product and is the best raw material for making precious spices.
This thing is not only popular in China, but also widely loved by the upper class of the aristocracy in the West.
Some of the world's largest cosmetics companies use ambergris in perfumes as a medicinal primer or blending agent, and the high-end products produced are highly sought after all over the world.
However, in recent years, due to the sharp decline in the number of sperm whales, less than 100 kilograms of ambergris are traded each year.
Therefore, some large French luxury goods companies have a huge demand for ambergris, and the price of ambergris has begun to increase sharply.
Just like Su Qingqing said, if Huo Sining can hoard those ambergris, the price of that piece of ambergris will probably increase several times in ten years.
Of course, Su Jinyuan's business vision and foresight are far from being comparable to a rookie like Huo Sining, because he was worried that the agents of the three luxury goods companies would reach an agreement privately and then deliberately lower the price, Su Jinyuan did not let the auctioneer disclose the ambergris in advance.
This is also the reason why he agreed that Huo Sining would take the ambergris out of the bank on the day the auction began.
Not only that, but he also asked Secretary Lin to invite a private collector into the auction hall in advance.
Once the three tried to deliberately lower the price of ambergris, the collector would raise the price, and those people would not be willing to let such a good ambergris fall into the hands of someone else.
There is already a competition between those luxury companies, there is a conflict of interest, and as long as one person is not in unison, then their alliance will be broken in an instant.
In fact, Su Jinyuan's consideration was not unreasonable, after seeing such a huge piece of ambergris appear, the three agents stood up at the same time.
After taking the stage to check the quality of ambergris, the three people showed surprise and shock on their faces.
Soon the three of them got together and quietly discussed, and after about half a minute, the three of them reached an agreement, and each of them had a smug expression on their faces.
After the auctioneer said the reserve price of 2 million, the three people shouted very low at the beginning, adding 35,000 at a time, and they didn't look anxious at all.
There are not many people who understand ambergris at the venue, and a few collectors are interested in ambergris, but the ambergris is indeed too big, and the reserve price of two million has already discouraged many people, and they no longer speak after shouting the price a few times.
When the three agents saw this, they were secretly happy, and one of them quietly signaled to his companion, and was ready to make a final price increase.
It's a pity that their abacus is about to fail, and before he can speak, a voice suddenly came out from another corner of the venue.
"Three and a half million!" an old man held up a sign, and if he didn't make a sound, he was already a blockbuster.
"Three and a half million, is this ambergris so valuable?"
The venue was in an uproar, and some people were immediately puzzled and couldn't help but ask their companions.
Others don't understand the value of ambergris, but Su Jinyuan has been paying attention to the news of ambergris recently, and couldn't help but explain with a smile:
"I don't know if it's worth it, but a few days ago I watched the news that a man in Australia picked up a huge piece of 14 kilograms of ambergris on the beach, and it was said that it was sold for a sky-high price of 300,000 pounds. ”
"300,000 pounds? The one on the stage weighs thirty-seven pounds, which is bigger than the 14-kilogram one, isn't it more expensive?"
The three agents were caught off guard, and if the ambergris was calculated in grams on the market, the price would be about four million.
But such a huge piece of ambergris and the quality is so good, if it can be eaten, it will bring hundreds of millions of profit assets to the company.
With such a deal, there is no reason why they would give it to others, the three agents gritted their teeth and increased the price again: "Three million and eight million." ”
I thought that as long as it was not far from the market price, the old man would not shout the price, but I didn't expect that the man would not play his cards according to common sense, and he held up the sign and explained with a smile while raising the price:
"Four and a half million! Even if I suffer a little loss now, such a good thing, the value of collecting it will be doubled in a few years, and it is much faster than earning interest in the bank!"
This is indeed the truth, but if you really have these 4.5 million, you can still fry other things, so why hoard a piece of unused things and wait for a few years?
And there are not many people here who are willing to spend four or five million on a stinky stone.
The price was 500,000 yuan higher than the market price, and some of the three agents began to retreat, waving their hands and saying that they were not coming.
The other was also a little hesitant, only one looked at the giant thing on the stage unwillingly, gritted his teeth and said, "Five million!"
