Chapter 61 Bidding
Chapter 61 Bidding
In this atmosphere, Lu Yiping stayed on the island until the last auction on the seventh day.
Led by the beautiful waitress, Lu Yiping, Lin Jin, and two other managers walked into the auction venue together.
The auction house is very large, and it is not difficult to accommodate thousands of people. As soon as you walk in, the bright environment around you becomes dim, except for the stage at the front which is extremely conspicuously illuminated by the lights.
Today is the last auction, and almost all the rich men and ladies on the island have come, and the entire venue is full.
Although everyone spoke in a very cultivated and whispered voice, with so many people's voices added together, the surroundings were still very noisy...
Not long after Lu Yiping sat down, everyone stopped talking, and the venue gradually became quiet.
A beautiful woman in a blue dress walked onto the stage slowly with a microphone in her hand. She was the host of the auction.
The woman is beautiful, mature and charming, she is a stunner enough to make many men fall under her pomegranate skirt.
I have to say that the waiters arranged by the black market on this island are all men and women with outstanding looks, and they look really pleasing to the eye.
The hostess made a few opening remarks in her charming and delicate voice, and then officially entered the topic.
After all, this is an auction, and she is here to host it, not to make fun of it. Although she also wants to catch a rich man, she can't do it regardless of the occasion.
The following auction items also opened Lu Yiping's eyes. As expected, it was the finale auction. There was also an auction company under his own group, so the rules of the finale were naturally followed.
All the items auctioned in the last auction are valuable treasures, and the starting price of almost every item is to start bidding in units of [-].
…………
It has to be said that the woman who presides over the auction is a good at mobilizing the atmosphere. Her every frown, smile, and every word will cause the price of the auction to skyrocket.
In order to save face, all the rich and powerful people bid without hesitation, spending a lot of money, really spending a lot of money, every price increase is calculated in tens of millions.
And whenever someone raised the price, the hostess would send a charming smile to that person, giving the face of the wealthy people present, and immediately making everyone feel more competitive.
The atmosphere in the entire auction venue was always at a climax amidst the hostess's cover-mouthed chuckle and words of encouragement.
Even, there are several rich people competing for red eyes, not only for the auction items, but also for their own face...
When the auction was halfway through, Lu Yiping had been anxiously waiting for the jade seal relics to finally appear.
"Next, the item we are going to auction is a set of jade seals representing the imperial power of country Z, provided by a senior collector..."
"According to the appraisal, this set of jade seals is all genuine. You can rest assured that our boss will be absolutely responsible for the quality of the authenticity..."
"This set of jade seals has a total of seven, which are the most representative of the seven countries of Qin, Chu, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qi, and Yan in the Spring and Autumn and Warring States Periods of country Z. They are so complete and represent imperial power in the same period. It is almost impossible to Measured in money..."
In fact, there is no need for the hostess to emphasize that as long as you have read a little book, anyone who is not a fool or an idiot will know that any cultural relics stained with imperial power are priceless.
What's more, for the emperor's seal such as the jade seal, the price of a single jade seal needs to be calculated in billions.
At this moment, there are not one but seven jade seals being auctioned, and they belong to the same period, which can be called a priceless treasure.
Not to mention individuals, even the government with absolute power can hardly get it right. This is not a matter of money, but of luck.
In the long river of history, how many precious cultural relics have been destroyed due to various reasons. Such a complete set of cultural relics can definitely make anyone who likes to collect antiques crazy.
Lu Yiping didn't believe that such a precious thing that could hardly be measured by money was offered by a senior collector.
Maybe it was obtained by a certain criminal group who did not know how many times of shady actions. After all, this is a black market auction, not an aboveboard auction company.
If it comes from the right way, can it be sold here?Would a true collector be willing to sell such treasures for money?
But these are none of his business. Today, he must get this set of jade seals...
"This set of items starts at 20 billion!"
Following the words of the hostess, there was a sudden silence in the shooting venue, and then the bidding began. Lu Yiping was also among them, his gaze was like a torch.
At the same time, Jiang Mingsheng and three children in ancient times have been escorted back to Beijing...
After leaving Kyoto, Louis Ping and others spent nearly two months evading the court officers and soldiers, and the transportation speed they used during the period was not slow.
But in fact they didn't escape very far. The emperor was wanted all over the country of Yunjin.
After finding the target, the officers and soldiers immediately set off and escorted the person back to Beijing. Although there was one less Lu Yiping, it was better to be able to catch one than to be unable to catch none!
After all, Jiang Mingsheng and the three children were not ordinary prisoners, they were the descendants of the emperor. The officers and soldiers did not dare to offend them on the way to escort them, and they were provided with good food, drink and treatment along the way.
At the same time, after the emperor received the news, he ordered people to bring Jiang Mingsheng and others back to the capital as soon as possible, and at the same time ordered the whole country to tell Lu Yiping to surrender...
Jiang Mingsheng and others were arrested, and the emperor posted the imperial list. Lu Yiping didn't know about it. At this moment, he was bidding at a black market auction.
The starting price of a set of jade seals is 20 billion, which is an astronomical figure for ordinary people, but in fact, the price is not expensive. The value of this set of jade seals can be called a priceless treasure, which can no longer be measured by money.
20 billion, this is just a reserve price, how much this set of jade seals are worth this time depends on the final price of this bidding.
Following the words of the hostess, the rich people in the entire venue began to bid, such a treasure, it is not too much to spend a lot of money.
"23..."
"27..."
"thirty……"
…………
The price in the venue was constantly tumbling, and in the blink of an eye, the price had already soared by more than one billion, and it was still increasing.
Although Lu Yiping was excited, he didn't bid immediately. There were too many people bidding on the venue, and he needed to wait for the atmosphere to stabilize.
The scramble continued for a while, and the voice finally weakened. At this moment, Yuxi's bid has been raised to 40 billion by everyone...
This is an auction, the highest bidder wins, the price will only get higher and higher, not lower!
"45..."
When everyone's voices quieted down, before Lu Yiping made an offer, an old man who was a few meters away from him spoke lightly.
As soon as the old man's bid fell, the voices in the venue fell silent. Several bidders turned their heads and saw the expressionless old man, and shut their mouths when they wanted to bid.
Obviously, this old man's social status is not low, and a large number of people present have no strength to compete with him. After all, no matter how expensive this treasure is, it is still a dead thing, and it is not worth everyone's full net worth.
"Old Mr. Xiao is worthy of being a senior collector of cultural relics. This generous spending is really beyond my reach..."
"Forget it, it's just a dead thing. It's not worth spending so much money to save face. I might as well invest in a few more projects..."
"It seems that this thing is going to be in Mr. Xiao's pocket today. I remember that Mr. Xiao spent more than a billion yuan for a vase last time. Tsk tsk tsk, I don't understand the thoughts of these collectors... "
Many people in the venue began to discuss, and then quieted down.
"Old Mr. Xiao bid 45 billion, is there anyone else bidding?" Seeing that the venue became quiet, the hostess quickly asked, "Is there anyone else..."
"46..."
As the hostess finished speaking, someone spoke again, but it was not Lu Yiping, but a middle-aged man. Obviously, this man was also very interested in Yuxi.
"47..." Lu Yiping, who had been waiting all this time, finally spoke.
The hall fell silent, and all eyes suddenly turned to the middle-aged man and Lu Yiping who followed the bidding again.
"Boss, you are crazy!"
Hearing Lu Yiping speak, the faces of the two managers next to him turned pale, and Lin Jin looked at Lu Yiping incredulously and angrily.
Lu Yiping didn't answer, just staring at the things on the stage...
Hearing that someone was bidding against him, the old man who was called Mr. Xiao by everyone was not surprised. He glanced at the middle-aged man and Lu Yiping indifferently, and continued to speak.
"Fifty……"
Three hundred million was directly added, and the venue was silent again. Although everyone has money, it doesn't mean that money is spent indiscriminately.
In this auction, apart from a few people who really like to collect cultural relics and jewelry, most of the rich are here to join in the fun and have fun.
If you like it, you can buy it if the price is within a reasonable range, and you have to spend your money with value. It's not that billions of people can't afford it, but it's good to think about it.
With so much money, this is really not a small sum. It is astronomical for ordinary people, and it is also a consideration for these rich people.
"51..." The middle-aged man was not like the old man, but he seemed to want to buy the jade seal very much.
"52..." Lu Yiping also continued, and the faces of the two managers and Lin Jin sitting next to him turned pale again.
"Boss, I can't continue anymore, are you crazy, just for such a thing, what's so strange!"
Lin Jin was about to die of anger. She had a bad premonition from the appearance of Yuxi to the soaring price.
As the price got better and better, Lin Jin's heart sank to the ground. Although the company has money, it can't spend billions for a useless plaything.
But before Lu Yiping could answer her, the old man and the middle-aged man continued to bid, and it seemed that they were bound to win...
The price of Yuxi has been raised to nearly [-] billion, and even the rich people present couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Taking out 60 billion at once is enough for most of the rich people present to fall into economic crisis...
"61..." The middle-aged man's forehead was already sweating a little, obviously he had reached the point where he was strong on the outside but hard on the inside.
"62!"
As soon as the old man shouted the price again, the middle-aged man softened, shook his head helplessly, glanced at the old man, shrank his head back and stopped talking.
When the middle-aged man gave up, everyone turned their attention to Lu Yiping. They wondered if this young man would continue to bid...
Lin Jin also looked at Lu Yiping with a pale face, and couldn't help reaching out to grab Lu Yiping's arm and shaking his head to dissuade him.
"Boss, stop shouting, we can't afford so much money..."
It's not that it can't be paid out, but that if it is paid out so much at once, the company's liquidity will fall into a huge gap, and most of the projects under the group will be stopped.
After all, it is estimated that Huanyu Group's capital exceeds tens of billions, but that refers to the value of the entire group, not simply the liquidity.
Others don't know how much money the group has, they can only estimate it, but Lin Jin, who is a senior executive of the company, knows very well that Huanyu Group has more money than outside estimates.
However, no matter how much money there is, Lu Yiping didn't use it like this. What's more, in order to block Lu Yiping, she even invested in several huge projects privately and used most of the company's working capital.
Six billion, which is almost all the remaining liquidity of the company, and the current auction price is obviously not over yet...
Lu Yiping's face was also very solemn at the moment, but he did not give up, and continued to hold up the number plate to prepare to bid.
"No!" Lin Jin quickly grabbed Lu Yiping's hand, "Boss, you will ruin the company, I don't agree..."
Being obstructed over and over again, no matter how good-tempered Lu Yiping was, he couldn't help but get angry.
Staring at Lin Jin, Lu Yiping's tone was a bit cold, "I don't need your consent for my own money. The company is gone, and that's my business!"
"You, you...boss..." Lin Jin's face was a little hurt.
"Sir, do you still need to bid?"
On the high platform, the host lady looked at Lu Yiping and asked with an elegant smile.
Under the astonished gazes of everyone and the pale expressions of Lin Jin and the two managers, Lu Yiping nodded and spoke slowly.
"63..."
As he bid again, the audience was in an uproar, and Lin Jin was already speechless.
The old Mr. Xiao also raised his eyes and put his eyes on Lu Yiping. His solemn eyes indicated that the 60 billion yuan was not easy for him.
After hesitating for a while, the old man stared at Lu Yiping and said again, "Seventy..."
"hiss………"
Everyone present took a deep breath, and the entire venue fell silent again.
Lin Jin stared at Lu Yiping and shook his head vigorously, his whole body was trembling, no, really can't bid...
"Old Mr. Xiao bid 70 billion, is there anyone else bidding?"
The hostess also swallowed her saliva, and while asking questions, she turned her eyes to Lu Yiping.
Lu Yiping sat on the seat, the veins on his forehead were bulging, his hands were clenched into fists, his eyes were slightly red, and he bid again, which caused an uproar in the audience.
"71..."
"75!" Old Mr. Xiao was silent for a moment, then spoke again.
Lu Yiping gritted his teeth and put all his eggs in one basket, "Eighty!"
"Mr. Xiao, you, do you still want to bid?" The voice of the hostess was a little trembling.
"........."
The old man didn't speak, his expression was not as relaxed as it was at the beginning, he slowly took out the medicine bottle in his bag, took a pill, looked at Lu Yiping, his hands hidden under the table trembled.
"No more..." The old man finally shook his head, his voice hoarse.
"80 billion, this set of jade seals belongs to Mr. 160 No. [-]!"
"........."
Watching the small hammer in Miss Host Yu's hand come down, Lu Yiping let out a sigh of relief.
