Chapter 868 Auction (Middle)
"Where did the turtle come from, you don't even know the rules?"
"That is, others shouted 18 million, but he actually dared to call 15 million?"
All kinds of voices came from the hall, but most of the people who spoke were young people, but anyone over forty years old almost knew Lei Hu, even if he made a big joke, how could the Hongmen boss back then be someone like them businessmen could insult?
Some older people hurriedly spoke out to stop their juniors, and it was no joke that this sentence came out of their mouths.
"Huh? Shut up for me!"
Just when the hall became a little chaotic because of Lei Hu's words, a low shout rang out, like a yellow bell ringing in the ears.
"You kid, aren't you afraid of scaring those old people out of trouble?"
Seeing Lei Hu's arrogant shouting, Ye Tian slapped his head, all of whom were ordinary people, how could they stand the sound of his innate true qi, if Ye Tian hadn't interrupted him, I was afraid that something would really happen.
"Master, I'm sorry to give you shame." Lei Hu shrank his head, and blamed himself a little in his heart, shouting randomly without figuring out the price, Ming'er will definitely become a joke in the upper class of Hong Kong Island.
"Who are you losing?" Ye Tian waved his hand angrily and said: "Isn't it just money when you sit down? It's good to use the money to get back the face you lost in the money!"
After hearing Ye Tian's words, Lei Hu obediently sat down on the side and shouted to Henry, the auctioneer who was dumbfounded on the stage: "The auction can continue!"
With his shout, everyone in the venue let out a long sigh and came back to their senses, and the eyes of the young people who were scolding just now also implied a little fear when they looked at Lei Hu.
"Ahem, this gentleman was joking with everyone just now......" Henry's reaction was also very fast, and after finding a step down for Lei Hu, he continued: "Let's continue to bid below, Mr. Huang has bid 18 million, do any friends continue to bid?"
"Who said he was joking?" Before Henry finished speaking, Ye Tian's voice rang out, "Mai Tang shouted 15 million, that is 15 million!"
As soon as Ye Tian's words came out, the eyes of the audience were focused again, if you want to say that Lei Hu just casually called the wrong price, then now Ye Tian's words are obviously a bit of a fault.
"So it's Mr. Ye......"
Henry on the stage also recognized Ye Tian, when he auctioned those scriptures a few years ago, it was the most sinister time in Henry's auction career, so he remembered Ye Tian very deeply, and shook his head and said: "I think you know our rules, every bid can only go up, not down."
Ye Tian had a smile on his face and said lightly: "Lei Hu just said fifteen million, he was talking about US dollars, Henry, is there a problem with this?"
"What? $15 million?"
"Are you kidding? That's 80 or 90 million Hong Kong dollars."
"That's right, it's not worth it at all to buy this vase with so much money!"
Although in previous charity auctions, everyone would auction them at a higher price than the items they were auctioned at, but 15 million US dollars was far more than the price of this pair of antique vases, at least more than three times the price of the antique vases.
"Ye...... Mr. Ye, you didn't quote the wrong price, did you?" Henry's voice trembled a little, if it was really sold at this price, even if it was a charity auction, he could set an auction record for Qing Dynasty porcelain.
Ye Tian said categorically: "Sir He has such a charitable heart, and Ye's Mai Tang will naturally do his part, that is, 15 million US dollars, there is nothing wrong!"
Henry was waiting for Ye Tian's words, and immediately shouted loudly: "Okay, Mr. Ye quoted $15 million, is there any gentleman or lady who will increase the price?"
"Fifteen million once, fifteen million twice, fifteen million three times!"
"Okay, this pair of Qing Qianlong enamel cloisonné vases belong to Mr. Ye, thank you Mr. Ye for his contribution to charity!"
The person who spoke was Cen Jinglan, her gaze at Ye Tian was a little complicated, the big boy in the past was now facing the richest group of Chinese leaders at all, which made her feel unreal.
As the auction hammer smashed on the table, the dust settled on the first lot, but both the process and the price far exceeded the expectations of everyone in the venue.
"What will be auctioned below is a diamond necklace, which is made up of 81 diamonds and was sold by a British jewelry company for £300,000 the year before ......."
"This lot was donated by the beautiful Miss Shum standing next to me, I hope everyone can actively bid and contribute to charity, and the reserve price of this jewelry is still 10,000 Hong Kong dollars!"
Henry's words made many people in the audience stunned for a moment, they all knew Cen Jinglan and knew that she was an international movie star, but even if Cen Jinglan was famous, her net worth was difficult to compare with these people here, and it was already a lot of money to be able to come up with a necklace worth 300,000 pounds.
"Five million Hong Kong dollars!"
"I will pay 8 million Hong Kong dollars!"
"Ten million Hong Kong dollars!"
There is no shortage of Cen Jinglan's suitors in the venue, plus this is a charity auction, the elders in the family will not blame themselves for spending money indiscriminately, the bidders are all some well-known young men on Hong Kong Island, and in the blink of an eye, this diamond necklace worth more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars has been raised to 10 million Hong Kong dollars.
"Sister Jinglan is also considerate." Ye Tian tilted his head slightly and said to Lei Hu: "Take a picture of this chain and give it to Cen Jinglan when you come back!"
"Yes, Master." Lei Hu agreed, raised his left arm and shouted: "Thirty million...... Well, it's Hong Kong dollars!"
Hearing Lei Hu's offer, Ye Tian couldn't help but laugh dumbly, shook his head and said, "You guy, can't you be a little more open-minded?"
"Master, it's really the first time I've spent so much money." Lei Hu laughed, although he was in a high position before, he raised so many people, and he had never had a lot of money, otherwise he would not have hurt Song Weilan's idea.
"Thirty million Hong Kong dollars, is there any gentleman or lady who continues to quote?"
Lei Hu's wealthy appearance made many people retreat, after all, this is just a charity auction, not to fight for wealth.
In addition, most people in the audience knew the origin of Lei Hu and Ye Tian, even if they didn't know it, they also saw Ye Tian and Li Chaoren coming out of the inner hall together, and after Henry shouted the price three times, this diamond necklace was photographed by Ye Tian again.
"Whatever it is, let's spend the 50 million first!"
Ye Tian came to participate in this auction today, first of all, he really wanted to borrow Sir He's hand to donate something to the disaster area in the mainland, because Ye Tian understood the bureaucratic system in the mainland, if this money was donated in the mainland, how much of it could be used in the disaster area?
Secondly, Ye Tian wanted to make a name for Mai Tang, he acted as he pleased, and regardless of the three seven twenty-one, he actually took down all the more than ten items that were auctioned in front of him, and the prices were ridiculously high.
"Master, let's leave something for others!" Zhou Xiaotian felt very uncomfortable sitting next to Ye Tian, Ye Tian's behavior simply wiped out all the opportunities for others to do charity, Zhou Xiaotian already felt that everyone's eyes on his side were a little unkind.
"Well, the money is almost spent, so let others take pictures!" Ye Tian nodded, 50 million US dollars is equivalent to hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, which can be regarded as his dedication to the people in the disaster area.
However, although Ye Tian temporarily withdrew from the auction, he set the tone for today's auction, and the price of the objects auctioned after that was several times higher than the objects themselves, and when the auction was only halfway through, it raised as much as seven or eight billion Hong Kong dollars.
"Huh? This stone is a bit weird."
A piece of rough stone taken out by Zheng Jewelry for auction aroused Ye Tian's interest, because although he could not see the jade flesh in the rough stone, he could detect the faint aura on the surface of the rough stone.
And this rough stone still has some origin, it is a stone that the founder of Zheng's jewelry bet on back then, it is very commemorative to him, of course, since it is a stone that has been gambled, the surface performance of the rough stone is really not very good, after taking it out, no one started to bid for a long time.
Just when Ye Tian wanted to shout a price casually, Zhuang Rui, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly stood up and said, "I want to see this rough stone."
"I really have no eyesight, I still want to see such a stone?"
"That's right, if you want to support Mr. Zheng, just shout a price and it's over."
There are not many people engaged in the jewelry business in the market, and Zhuang Rui's behavior makes them a little unsightly.
"I will pay 50,000 yuan!" The young man named Zhuang Rui looked at the stone for a while and shouted out a price.
"Hey, this kid really knows how to take advantage, how dare he actually observe the jade meat inside through the rough stone?"
Just when Zhuang Rui was observing the rough stone, Ye Tian clearly sensed through the qi machine that a wave of energy in Zhuang Rui's body wandered to the rough stone, which also made Ye Tian understand what kind of ability Zhuang Rui had.
"Okay, let him take advantage." Ye Tian just smiled, but he didn't stir up the situation, which was also the standard for acting in the rivers and lakes.
