Looking at the rising numbers, Wu Liang looked relaxed when he stood backstage with his arms crossed, but in fact, the fingers that clenched his sleeves exposed his nervousness.

"179,000 dollars for the first time!"

"Seventy-nine thousand dollars for the second time! Are there any who continue to bid? There aren't many opportunities to get a lot of gold coins at once, so don't miss it! ”

"Seventy-nine thousand dollars for the third time! Congratulations to Mr. Hayashi, a collector from Yokohama, who has won the first set of lots! ”

The opening looks pretty good, according to last night's conversation with appraiser Peter. According to Wilson's information, the price of a single gold Louis coin on the market, with a slight scratch or traces of use, is generally between $3,500 and $3,800, and a single piece of pure collectible gold coins that are in particularly good condition and have no traces of use will be a little more expensive, generally between $4,200 and $5,000. Fifty pieces are packed with 179,000 dollars on average, and the price is basically not affected by the large number of gold coins, and there are several particularly well-known and super powerful collectors who have not participated in it at all, and have not given any quotations, all waiting for the best gold coins to come out, which is a pretty good start.

Seeing that the price of the first set of gold coins was not bad, which was one line higher than the average retail price, Wu Liang's fingers clenching his sleeves relaxed a little, and he said to Christie, who was standing beside him. Manager Hefner asked in a low voice, "Is this opening score high or low?" ”

Christie. Manager Hefner shrugged his shoulders, even a professional would not be able to talk too much about this kind of low-value antiques in front of him, the variables are too big, maybe as long as one of the lots is unsold or there is no bidding, the price of the remaining lots will plummet. At a time like this, one can only count on the auctioneer Sam. Baker has come to arouse the buyers' desire to buy. "The unit price is 3,508, if it is a single lot, then this score is a bit low, but a group of 50 pieces This high threshold will screen out a lot of small buyers who are not strong enough, and the price will inevitably be a little lower, which is a fairly normal opening! The next step is to see if these 20 or so most powerful collectors will compete, if not, then today's total income should only be a little higher than the minimum selling price, and maybe even a little lower, wait and see! ”

"The next collection is the finest collection carefully selected from a thousand louis, and it is almost flawless in terms of condition, as if it were made from the mint and immediately collected, it is extremely collectible, and it is definitely the favorite of major exhibition halls and high-end collectors! Everyone, get your enthusiasm and checks, and the bidding begins! The twentieth group is also the best gold louis in the most perfect state of preservation, with a starting price of $185,000, and the bidding begins! "Auctioneer Sam. Baker saved the perfect set of gold louis for the end, and after stirring up the enthusiasm of the guests, he set the starting price to the other groups. The hammer of the bidding sounded, and several large collectors, who had rarely bid, began to make a move after noticing the condition of the gold coins from the projection screen, and drove out the slightly inferior collectors at the beginning.

"Two hundred thousand dollars!" Mr. Suzuki of the Osaka Numismatic Exhibition Hall raised his mouth by fifteen thousand.

"Two hundred and twenty thousand dollars!" Oh, a new competitor has appeared! Mr. Nishikujo and Mr. Takeda seemed to have formed an alliance, and they energetically entered the battle for the most valuable gold coins.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars!" It looks like Mr. Suzuki wants to settle the fight all at once.

"Two hundred and sixty thousand! Two hundred and sixty thousand! "Mr. Nishikujo and Mr. Takeda have made a lot of money this time, and the unit price of each gold coin has exceeded the maximum value of the market price.

"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars!" Mr. Suzuki did not give up, and raised it by 20,000 US dollars again, and it seems that the highest price of this year's gold louis will be born today!

"Two hundred and eighty thousand! Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars! Is there a higher bid? ”

"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars for the first time!"

"Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars for the second time!"

"Bang! Boom! Boom! "Hit the hammer three times in a row, and the auctioneer Sam. Baker loudly announced, "Two hundred and eighty thousand dollars for the third time!" The highest unit price of the year, Louis Gold, was successfully sold at this auction! Distinguished guests, please move to the ballroom, where we have prepared a sumptuous lunch, and we will continue the auction of the remaining lots at half past two in the afternoon! ”

The auction process of twenty sets of lots lasted more than two hours, and the total transaction price was 4.25 million US dollars, Wu Liang finally let go of his hanging heart after calculating twice in his heart, the difference between all the upgrade materials was only 7.4 million, according to the average price sold in the morning, it was easy to exceed this number, and after deducting the various expenses that needed to be paid, it was estimated that there would be a little surplus.

Six guards were stationed in the hotel to protect the precious little things in the showcase, and after the guests left, the business manager who undertook the auction was around the showcase. Wu Liangke has never been at ease with these completely strange guys, and it can be understood by simply thinking about it, people just receive a salary every month to support their families, how many people will really work hard when they encounter a situation?

Only you will always be interested in your own things, except for those who have bad ideas!

During the time when the guests went to the banquet hall to participate in the buffet, Wu Liang stayed around the display case, refused the help of the hotel staff to bring lunch, and only drank a bottle of chocolate milk from the breakfast buffet---- even didn't dare to drink more milk, for fear that a few strong men with guns would appear during this time when he went to the toilet.

To his surprise, everything was uneventful, not only did nothing happen during lunchtime, but even the afternoon auction was normal. When the last two sets of scattered gold coins were bought by several retail investors who formed a group, the auction was declared a successful conclusion.

The 1,873 gold coins were sold for a total of 8,125,000 US dollars, minus the 3 percent handling fee to be paid to the Sothby auction house, the venue fees paid to the Imperial Hotel, the cost of food and beverages, and his own room fee for the past few days, and then minus the 7.4 million yuan for the purchase of engines and metal materials, leaving 380,000 US dollars, and the extra few thousand odds were just used to invite a few people from the Sothby auction house who had helped him a lot to have a good French dinner in the evening.
