The auction strategy adopted by Ritchie Auction House this time is very effective. The charity auction will be held first, and then the official auction. This is just like fishing, throwing down the grass bait first, and finally adding the meat bait, so there is no fear that no fish will take the bait.
Although the charity auction lasted only a short time, it had the effect of first suppressing and then increasing. The mood of the rich became impatient under subtle circumstances, so when the main show started, the atmosphere of the auction immediately changed. Gotta get hot.
At this time, Qin Shiou relaxed. There was a waiter at the auction site delivering drinks. Qin Shiou and Wei Ni were drinking coffee while chatting in low voices and commenting on these antiques, cultural relics and artworks, which was quite enjoyable.
Time passed by minute by second, because there were too many exhibits in this auction, so it was divided into two rounds, morning and afternoon. Each round had two breaks, which consumed a full day.
The final highlight is Baron Chamberlain¡¯s skeleton and weapons and equipment set. The starting price is an astonishing US$50 million, with each increase in price being US$1 million.
As Little Black expected, all the wealthy people competed for this auction item, 50 million, 55 million, 60 million, 70 million, 80 million, and the price climbed to 90 million US dollars. , everyone¡¯s enthusiasm for the auction dropped slightly.
The reason why this set of skeletons and weapons and equipment is so valuable is not only because of the bonus of Baron Chamberlain's status, but also because his weapons and equipment have a great history, such as the long bow he used, which was blessed by the Pope of the Vatican at that time. The signature, the chainmail he used, was a congratulatory gift from the British Emperor when he was promoted to baronet.
Qin Shiou knew nothing about this. The long bow blessed by the Pope was broken and the bowstring was broken. He played with the chain mail gifted by the British Emperor as a toy. In the previous battle of the brave, he wanted to DIY a set of battle armor. , this chain armor was used as a template. It was thrown around randomly at the time. I didn't expect this thing to be so precious.
In the end, the price was very tight. It was mainly the old British aristocrats, the Russian rich circle, and the Middle Eastern tycoons who were bidding. However, they raised the price very sensibly. Every time they raised the price, they raised the lowest price. And every time they hear an offer, their circle gathers and whispers.
Qin Shiou was a little uneasy. You must know that half of the income from this auction belongs to him. The higher the price, the more money he will get.
Wei Ni had been with him for so long that she could guess his thoughts just by looking at his expression, so she smiled softly, reached out to hold his fist, patted it, and whispered: "Don't worry, depending on the situation, the most you can do is The price has been raised by 10 million, and the amount allocated to you is only four million U.S. dollars. Why do you care so much about four million U.S. dollars?"
Qin Shiou thought it was right, so he felt relieved, holding Wei Ni's little hand and waiting for the end of the auction.
Winnie's guess was correct. When the price rose to 95 million, the Russian tycoon was the first to withdraw from the auction. Four or five minutes later, as the British nobles quoted a price of 150 million U.S. dollars, the Middle East's The local tycoons also shook their heads and quit the auction.
"One hundred and five million U.S. dollars once! One hundred and five million U.S. dollars, twice! One hundred and five million U.S. dollars, three times!" White Glove shouted the price three times, but no one followed up on the price, and then he pointed to the British nobles. Direction, "Let us congratulate this gentleman, who finally won our bidding king with a price of 150 million US dollars!"
Warm applause rang out, Qin Shiou also applauded vigorously, and then heard someone in the crowd say things like 'idiot, lunatic, taken advantage of'
The auction ended here, and the final marksman¡¯s skeleton and weaponry were sold for US$150 million, setting a record for a single item in the history of Ritchie auctions!
Little Blake, in a neat suit, walked up to the front desk with a smile and bowed to express his gratitude. The auction was over. Waiters were already waiting for the bosses. They took the bosses to the backstage to pay the bills, sign contracts and trade the lots. Qin Shiou was also led away. He didn't have to pay the bill himself, Winnie took his bank card and did it for him.
Little Black, his family, and the senior managers of Ritchie Auction House shook hands and chatted with the participants cordially, and finally sent everyone away before he came over to entertain Qin Shiou. When they met, they gave him a warm hug, and then he was full of suppressed passion. Whispered in his ear: "Man, man, my good man! Do you know how much we gained this time? Snow, I'm going crazy!"
Qin Shiou asked cooperatively: "How much is it?"
He had been looking forward to this answer for a long time. At first he wanted to calculate, but the atmosphere of the auction was too lively and he was distracted midway. He missed the calculation of several items, so he only knew the prices of all the items. Altogether more than thirtybillion, but I don¡¯t know the exact number.
"The total value is a little over 5.5 billion, and our sunken treasures were auctioned for a total of 4.255 billion U.S. dollars!" Little Blake said excitedly, and he managed to suppress his tone. Almost yelling.
Billy and Brandon came up to us. The latter was indeed from a financial background and was extremely sensitive to numbers. When he got closer, he whispered in a slightly trembling voice: "Forty-two billion U.S. dollars, that's about it, right? "
Little Blake nodded heavily. Billy and Blake were filled with ecstasy and high-fived each other. Billy couldn't bear the excitement and shouted: "Party! We're going to have a party tonight! Damn it, I want to book all the nightclubs in Toronto. Party! Party! Party!¡±
Little Blake came up and said: "Of course, guys, of course we have a party! Not only do I want to book all the nightclubs, I also want to book all the celebrities and supermodels in Toronto. I want them to lick my big bird tonight. !¡±
Brandon quickly raised his right hand and showed off his wedding ring, and said with a look of regret: "Sorry, man, I swore to God that I would never cheat on my wife. At least I don't want to cheat on my wife after less than a year of marriage. Cheating on my wife.¡±
Little Blake said dissatisfied: "Oh, damn, you are so inferior, you are simply ruining our good atmosphere!"
Qin Shiou shrugged and said: "No, my brother, I agree with Brandon, and I will not betray my wife."
Billy looked at Little Blake and laughed. Little Blake stared at him in shock and said, "Don't tell me you can't cheat on your wife."
Billy shrugged and said, "No, I don't have a wife yet, but I don't want to cheat on my girlfriend. Yes, man, I have a girlfriend."
"Absolutely impossible!" Little Blake shouted in disbelief.
Billy pointed at Qin Shiou and said, "Qin can prove to me that she is still the lovely girl he and Wei Ni introduced to me."
Billy shrugged again, with a sweet smile on his face: "That's a good girl, isn't she?"
Qin Shiou and Brandon looked at Little Blake together, and shook their heads in unison: "Oh, poor Little Blake, you have been abandoned by our team from now on!" (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
