After the divorce, I became a mountain god
Chapter 406 Sky-high price auction
"Two hundred million!"
When Xu Bo'an was thinking about the puzzlement of this matter, suddenly, the auctioneer spoke again, and shouted excitedly: "Mr. No. 3, bid 200 million!"
Not only was the auctioneer excited, but everyone present was stunned by the sudden bid increase of up to 100 million.
Although the price increase just now was not small, it was only normal compared to such a high-value item.
It is very rare that the price increase amount is 100 million, but someone directly increases the price by million.
Even Xu Boan was a little surprised. Although he didn't care about money at all because of his golden finger, his current assets were only 100 million.
This means that he doesn’t even have enough money to buy the item now.
This makes people feel a little uncomfortable. It seems to be unconvinced, but also seems to be curiosity.
Fengming jade pendant!
What secret is it hiding?
And why is this master's promise so valuable!
Within three or five seconds, someone else shouted out a new price.
"Two hundred and one million! Mr. Four, bid two hundred and one million!" the auctioneer shouted excitedly.
The auctioneer has been in this industry for many years. He knows that when there is only a minimum bid increase amount on top of such a large sum of money, it is usually because someone is deliberately trying to snatch the item.
It's easy to get carried away in this situation!
People are all trying to prove themselves, so under such circumstances a new sky-high-priced item may emerge.
As an auctioneer, although he will not receive much commission bonus, his record of auctioning off items at sky-high prices will be very important for his personal career development.
This is the same as when performing stars make movies. Although the box office revenue from the movies made by performing stars will not be shared with them personally, once the box office is high, the improvement in the star's status will definitely be very obvious.
Thinking of his bright future, the auctioneer secretly gritted his teeth, his facial muscles slightly tensed, and he eagerly hoped that the owner of station number three would raise the price.
The auctioneer's expectation was soon realized. After a while, the bid from channel No. 3 was raised again, increasing the bid by 100 million yuan.
"Three hundred million!"
It still jumps to integers directly, showing its incomparable dominance.
Looking at the price tag of 300 million clearly visible on the electronic screen, Da Mimi opened her mouth in surprise.
The auctioneer shouted excitedly: "Three hundred million, Mr. No. 3 bid three hundred million! My God, this price is already one of the top ten auction items in this auction house this year. I wonder what price this Fengming jade pendant will reach after it is taken over, and whether its annual ranking will be able to move up an inch."
Before she could close her mouth, almost at the moment the auctioneer finished speaking, she heard a new prompt on the large electronic screen. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw a new display on the screen. At the window of platform No. 4, a bright 301 million appeared in everyone's sight.
Still raising the price by one million, showing immense arrogance and confidence!
"Three hundred and one million! Mr. No. 4 bid three hundred and one million!" The auctioneer announced with a joyful look on his face.
Da Mimi's face darkened and she said, "Oh my god, this... this price is too high. What kind of mysterious boss is behind Channel 3 and Channel 4?"
Xu Boan heard this and curiously asked: "Oh? Even you think that someone is mysterious, then he must be extraordinary."
Da Mimi smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Xu, you are joking. I am just a little famous and have worked hard to earn some money. I am still far from having a high status.
The auction tables from number one to ten here are not open to the public. Only the global gold members of this Dolby Auction House are eligible to stay there, and they are ranked according to their points. One point is earned for every $10,000 spent. It is said that one can reach the gold member status. At least five-digit points are required to enter."
Xu Boan was shocked when he heard what Da Mimi said.
Yes, the auction house measures the money in US dollars, not Chinese yuan. According to the current exchange rate, Xu Boan’s 100 million is not enough to buy the Fengming jade pendant at the auction.
Xu Boan made a rough calculation with emotion and said, "Five-digit points! Each point is worth 10,000 US dollars. So, the members must have spent more than 100 million US dollars!"
Da Mimi nodded and said, "Even so, there will be many gold members who have difficulty entering the top ten because of their low membership points. As a result, they cannot enter the separate auction table and have to choose to sit on the public table."
The characteristics of the Dolby Auction House are the same. Except for the first 10 auction tables in a separate space, the rest of the seats are just like the public stands in a movie theater. Although there are many high-end seats, they are not good enough in the eyes of these people. After all, the people who come and go in this place are really rich people.
Xu Boan smacked his lips repeatedly and said, "Wow, this is still US dollars. I didn't expect that the cake of an auction industry would be so big!"
Da Mimi smiled bitterly and said, "To be honest, Mr. Xu, I am also a gold member of Dolby Auction House. It's just that I can't rank in the top ten in terms of points in this auction, so I have to inconvenience you."
Da Mimi originally wanted to take Xu Boan to sit at the auction tables one to ten in the private box, which would show importance and respect. However, who would have thought that today's auction would be so popular and there were too many bigwigs participating, so she failed to show off.
Xu Boan waved his hand and said, "It's okay, but I'm very curious about what's so special about this Fengming Jade Pendant? Why is it so popular? Why do so many people bid so much for it?"
Da Mimi looked around, leaned over, got closer to Xu Bo'an, raised her hand to Xu Bo'an's ear, and said: "This master from An Manguo is extraordinary. It is said that he is the founding disciple of that 'god' and the most capable master among the successors.
That 'god' has long since stopped caring about worldly affairs. This master has become the benefactor of most of the bigwigs who have something to ask for. It is very difficult to even call him for advice, let alone meet him. I heard that many famous investors on Wall Street come to visit him every year! Many powerful people are also his guests of honor. "
Xu Boan nodded slowly after hearing this. It seemed that those bosses who came to bid for the Fengming Jade Pendant were not really interested in the value of the Fengming Jade Pendant itself, but because they saw its added value of being able to communicate with the master, that's why they made crazy bids.
After hearing what Da Mimi said and seeing the madness of these people, Xu Boan began to wonder what kind of abilities this master had.
After all, seriously speaking, these capital tycoons and powerful people are all outstanding and very smart, otherwise they would not have the status and wealth they have today. Xu Boan absolutely does not believe that these people would be willing to be deceived.
Their choice must be a profitable one made after careful consideration.
"Five hundred million! The owner of table number one bid five hundred million." The auctioneer exclaimed again, and then his heart began to beat faster, almost jumping out of his chest. On the electronic screen, the data originally displayed changed instantly. After a long string of numbers fluctuated, the first digit changed from three to five! The whole audience was shocked.
After all, this is a one-time increase of 200 million yuan. Even if the people present are either rich or noble, few of them can come up with 200 million yuan in cash.
And this mysterious owner of station number one surprised almost everyone as soon as he appeared on the stage. He used a staggering amount of money to announce that it was not just those two rich guys who raised the price who had a presence here.
The auctioneer took a deep breath and suppressed his excitement.
This price already ranks among the top five most valuable items at the auction house this year.
The most important thing is that new bidders have emerged, which proves that the competition for this thing has reached a climax again and a new round of competition has begun again.
If this continues, the price of this item might even top the auction house's annual auction items. If that happens, I will really benefit from it.
After all, in every walk of life, the first one is always a dazzling existence.
However, this time, the auctioneer miscalculated.
After the owner of auction station No. 3 made his bid, the owners of stations No. and No. , which had been competing fiercely, all stopped bidding.
Nearly a minute had passed, and the whole place was completely silent. Many people stretched their necks to see the person inside through the small window of stage 1, wanting to know who was inside.
However, their idea was a bit too naive. That kind of glass was made of special material. It was not only strong, but also could only be seen from the inside, and the outside could not see inside.
During this period of time, the auctioneer's eyes frequently scanned the entire venue several times, especially lingering on positions 3 and , but still no one continued to bid.
The auctioneer continued helplessly: "Okay, then our bid is 500 million now, is there anyone who wants to continue bidding?"
As he spoke, the auctioneer's eyes deliberately lingered on positions 3 and 4.
However, nothing changed. The two bosses No. 3 and No. 4, who had been arguing fiercely, seemed to have lost their temper all of a sudden and showed no signs of making any bids.
The auctioneer swallowed hard and sighed slightly with some reluctance.
It seems that my chance to pursue the title of the best auctioneer of the year is completely gone, what a pity.
The auctioneer said, "Okay, now, the first time for $500 million!"
"Five hundred million dollars, for the second time!"
"Five hundred million dollars, for the… third… time!"
"Good. The price of this auction item, the Fengming Jade Pendant, was sold at a price of 500 million US dollars. Let us congratulate the guest at booth number one. Congratulations on winning the Fengming Jade Pendant."
"It is worth mentioning that the price of this Fengming jade pendant ranks fifth in the highest ranking of auction items in our auction house this year. Congratulations to everyone for witnessing the birth of this legend."
As he spoke, the auctioneer bowed gracefully to everyone and announced the matter.
Da Mimi couldn't help but gasp and said in amazement: "Five hundred million dollars! This is five hundred million dollars! It's only ranked fifth, and it's the fifth of this year, and it's only the fifth of this auction house. This is too scary."
Xu Boan asked curiously: "Is this price already very high?"
Although Xu Boan didn't care much about money, especially at the moment, he regarded money as dirt, but he also knew that 500 million was a lot. It was just that it was Xu Boan's first time to participate in such a high-end auction, and he saw very high bids. Now the bids were increasing by 100 million at a time, which made Xu Boan subconsciously think that all high-end auctions were like this.
So Xu Boan subconsciously thought that many things were auctioned at prices of hundreds of millions or even billions, but he didn't expect that the total price of 500 million was already so amazing.
Da Mimi glanced at Xu Boan, with a look of confusion in her eyes. She said, "Mr. Xu, a great man like you regards money as dirt, and you may not pay much attention to these things. According to public information, the total amount of items sold by all auction houses in the world last year, the top 100 most expensive items, added together, was only more than 5 billion."
Xu Boan was quite surprised when he heard this.
The total transaction price of the 50 most valuable auction items was only over billion. Xu Boan thought it was a few hundred billion, but now it seems that he really didn't take money seriously. After all, the price of a casual show he just watched was already million.
After a pause, Da Mimi continued, "If we estimate the market based on last year's data, this item is currently ranked fifth, and it is only the fifth in this Duby Auction House. Even if the four high-priced items before it are all priced at this price, the total value of these five items is already 4 billion. I find it hard to believe that the total value of the other items is only 5 billion."
Xu Boan nodded in agreement, he thought the same thing.
However, it is possible that some auction items may not be publicly announced due to special reasons. After all, it is normal to have some amazing energy in other aspects when playing such a large-scale game.
When Da Mimi saw the etiquette lady helping to carry the Fengming jade pendant worth 500 million yuan, she was envious and said in a self-deprecating tone: "Alas, I was thinking that I would have a chance to participate in the auction of this Fengming jade pendant. It seems that I am really too stupid and naive."
Xu Boan asked curiously: "Oh? You want this thing too? What's the use of it!"
Da Mimi said awkwardly: "After all, that was the master's promise. It's something to be prepared for. Just like that time in Hong Kong Island, I was lucky enough to find the help of Master Bai Wangbei. It was because I was lucky enough to get his promise before that I had this opportunity."
Xu Boan blinked his eyes. Wow, the way this pair of brothers make money is surprisingly similar!
It’s a pity that my name is not that famous, otherwise, the money I earn would definitely be as good as the wind.
Xu Bo'an was daydreaming here, when suddenly, he saw a familiar figure walking out of the No. 1 box, and then walked out without stopping.
Xu Boan's eyes widened, and before he could say anything, he heard a local from Eseliya behind him shout in astonishment: "So he is from the First Family, no wonder he is so rich!" (End of this chapter)
