Section 145 Auction
Chapter 145 Auction
Not only Li Cong is surprised, but everyone in the audience is surprised. What is going on with the Taiwan authorities? Can they even sell such a national treasure? Isn’t this government going to be scolded to death? People are still talking on the stage.
He kept introducing the origin and history of this national treasure. During the Anti-Japanese War, the little devils sent out a brigade to search for things, but they were transported away by the Kuomintang protectors. After being displaced for most of China, they came with Chiang Kai-shek.
In Taiwan, the central government has tried many times to bring back the Three Sui Tie but has failed to do so. No wonder people say that the Forbidden City in Beijing has palaces but no cultural relics, and the Forbidden City in Taiwan has cultural relics but no palaces. If they were combined together, it would be fine.
"Brother, this thing seems to be very expensive. Have you brought enough money?" Qingshan stammered. The price of this thing is not comparable to that of scrap metal.
, just because we are real men, we have to buy this thing. Look at the people around us who seem to be rich.
"Stop being wordy, go out and ask Lanmei to help me prepare the money. Your younger brother also kept a huge sum of money to prepare. This thing must not be lost to other places, understand?" Qingshan rarely sees Li Cong be so serious.
He immediately nodded and went out to do errands.
"What? My nephew is very interested in this?" The old guy knew that the consultant had already slept for an hour, and would have left long ago without this thing.
"Old man, I'm not interested. I'm determined to win." Li Cong said with confidence. This is necessary. He must let this old guy know his determination. It is estimated that no one else on the court except this old guy will be his opponent.
Even if I spend more than a billion, I still have to buy it back.
Kong Rende smiled and said nothing. He originally wanted to buy it, but seeing Li Cong like this, he knew there was no hope for him. He was past the time of youthful impulsiveness. It was better to leave such publicity matters to young people.
Looks like I'm going to make a lot of money at Christie's tonight.
"Okay, the introduction is almost done. Let's have a half-hour meeting. In half an hour, we will auction this rare treasure in a grand manner." This Christie's really knows how to do business. Isn't leaving this half hour just for the people present to mobilize funds?
Or tipping off people outside the venue? It was obvious that he wanted to make more money. Just as Li Cong was about to go out for some air, his cell phone rang. When he saw the number, Li Cong knew that he had to buy it today because of this
The call came from the State Department.
"Prime Minister, this is Li Cong." He found a deserted corner and quickly answered the phone. People around him were busy raising funds and did not notice what Li Cong said.
"Xiao Li, Blueberry has already reported it. I hope you will bring back Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie at all costs. Don't let me down. The chairman also cares about it." There was an irresistible force in the Prime Minister's words.
"I understand that after the handover is completed tomorrow, Kuai Xue Shi Qing Tie will fly directly to Beijing on my special plane. Please ask the Prime Minister to tell the Chairman on my behalf, please rest assured that I will make no mistake." When it is time to show loyalty, you have to show it,
It's not okay if the country can't get things done if it uses itself now.
"Well, the former Prime Minister went through all kinds of troubles to retrieve the other two of the three suction posts. Before his death, he also instructed the relevant personnel to make every effort to retrieve the Kuai Xue Shi Qing post. Now I can finally feel relieved.
The country will never forget anyone's contribution." The Prime Minister encouraged him for a few more words and then hung up. But Li Cong felt uneasy. It turned out that Premier Zhou also attached great importance to this, and it seemed that he really had to take it back.
Half an hour later, the number of people had obviously increased, and online and telephone bidding had also been opened. The Christie's boss in the background also knew that it was time to make money. The low price jumped from 30 million US dollars to 40 million US dollars. This price was absolutely
The price is astronomical, and Li Cong has already prepared to pay 100 million US dollars to win it, so most of the people present will probably be disappointed. This unattractive young man will surprise them for a while.
Finally half an hour passed, and Miss Lin also changed into a diamond outfit and walked onto the podium.
"Everyone, I have just explained to you the origin and history of this treasure. Now we are entering the auction. Its base price is 40 million U.S. dollars, and the price will be increased by 1 million U.S. dollars each time. Now let's start bidding." Miss Lin was also very excited.
, after all, there is his 1% commission, and for every additional one million US dollars, 10,000 US dollars will be his own. How many advertisements will this cost?
"Sixty million", Li has raised the price by 20 million U.S. dollars from the beginning. This is also to let some weak people know what level he is. Don't come to talk to yourself. I don't have that much American time to talk to you.
, there have been price increases like this before, but there are not many such increases of 20 million US dollars. The price of 20 million US dollars can buy a priceless antique, but this is just an ordinary price increase. Everyone sees that there is such a powerful person.
The buyer had never been seen before, and Christie's couldn't provide any information about this person. It was natural to think of the Chinese government, which would definitely want to get something like this.
"Sixty-two million." A blond-haired foreign devil shouted very carefully. These foreign devils have taken so many things from us before, and now they want to continue to take it. There is no way. Today I will compare with you what it means to be wealthy.
"Seventy million." Li Cong hasn't made a bid yet, but there is another strong competitor. This is none other than the chairman of Hon Hai Group, Mr. Terry Gou. Miss Lin on the stage looked at him with amusement.
The woman next to me, I guess that should be her place, this pair of wild mandarin ducks.
"Seventy-four million." A guy from an unknown organization shouted. Most of the so-called rich people who came to this price field have given up. They can indeed come up with such a sum of money, but let them
You can't pretend to be aloof by buying such a painting. After all, no one's money comes from strong winds.
"Eighty million." Li Cong raised his hand and pushed the price to a peak of $80 million, killing everyone no matter who he was.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Another beautiful woman appeared at the door, and she was the type that Zhang said would bring disaster to the country and the people. Good guy, let me play with this, but Li Cong doesn't know the origin of this girl.
After looking at Qingshan, it was obvious that he didn't recognize him either.
"Haha, it's interesting, nephew, this girl is not simple. She is Wang Yuying, the sister of the leader of the Qing Gang, but she has nothing to do with the Qing Gang. She works for the Yamaguchi Group. Did you see the person behind her? That might be her.
Kazuki Yamamoto, Vice Chairman of the Yamaguchi-gumi.”
Everyone on earth knows that the Japanese like Chinese antiques, but no one will care if you buy some other scrap metal, but what can you do with this? This is a national treasure, what bullshit Yamaguchi-gumi, others are afraid of you,
I'm not afraid.
There are probably a few competitive companies on the market now, but they are all for-profit. When the price reaches 100 million US dollars, they no longer have any profit value. They all closed their laptops and signaled to their bosses to give up.
Although it is good and the opportunity is rare, it is not cost-effective to buy it at a loss.
"Sir, it seems that we are the only ones left. Why don't you give this to me, and our Yamaguchi group will owe you a favor from now on." Wang Yuying walked to Li Cong step by step, and said hello to Old Man Kong.
Chapter completed!
