Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Some local rich people in Hong Kong who had not participated in the auction in the previous three days also showed up at the auction on this day.

There is only one result of the gathering of bigwigs, that is, a lower pass-through rate and a higher transaction price.

After the four special sessions in the morning, the total turnover reached 31.2 million Hong Kong dollars!

At 3:45 in the afternoon, the penultimate auction ended, with a fifteen-minute intermission.

Xia Yu came down from Ren Decheng's office upstairs and came to the auction hall on the second floor.

Five hundred stools with backrests were densely placed in the huge auction hall, and all of them were densely packed with human heads.

There is no way. In ordinary auctions, there are more than 100 people participating, but the number of people in this ancient book auction has tripled or quadrupled, so the originally spacious auction venue is more crowded.

However, the people who came to the auction were rich and powerful people, the purpose was to auction the treasures, and they didn't care about these small flaws.

In addition to the seats provided to bidders in the hall, there was a special circle around the periphery, and some stools were placed for dozens of media reporters to sit on.

Seeing the rare tycoon coming to the scene, the reporters who were fortunate enough to arrive were all in high spirits. Although the last auction has not yet started, they have already pressed the shutter.

Xia Yu, wearing sunglasses, came to the hall with the crowd, glanced around, and found many acquaintances, such as Bao Yugang, Li Zhaoji, Zheng Yu and others in the front row.

Maybe they were wearing sunglasses, which made it harder to be recognized, so only a few people noticed that Xia Yu came in. They smiled at Xia Yu, and Xia Yu responded with a smile.

Later, Xia Yu came to the side of Huashengshi.

In this special auction, Huashengshi's seat number is No. 65, while Xia Yu's is No. 66.

Originally, Ren Decheng wanted to arrange for Xia Yu to sit at No. 8 in the middle of the first row, but Xia Yu stopped him and chose No. 66, which was located in the front part of the venue, but it was not particularly conspicuous.

As the time gradually approached the opening, all the photographers who went out to breathe or went to the bathroom returned to the venue.

Cai Keming, the chief Chinese auctioneer of Sotheby's Auctions, came to the auction seat full of energy, dressed in a black tuxedo, and began to warm up the scene with humorous words.

At four o'clock,

The last special auction of ancient books has officially started.

The first lot generally has to be selected carefully. The price of the auction will affect the subsequent series of lots, so it must be attractive enough and have enough weight.

Considering the superstitious atmosphere in Xiangjiang, especially rich people like to believe in Buddhism.

Therefore, the first lot, offered by Sotheby's auction is the five dynasties period engraved edition "Dashi Fu of the Liang Dynasty Praises the Diamond Sutra".

After briefly introducing the information of this auction in humorous and humorous words, Cai Ke said clearly: "...the five dynasties period engraved edition of "The Great Master of the Liang Dynasty Praises the Diamond Sutra", the starting price is 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the auction begins!"

As soon as Cai Keming's voice fell, many people raised their placards in the venue, some people raised their placards with guarantee, and some people directly and arrogantly called for 300,000 yuan.

Bidding is endless!

"Three hundred thousand!"

"Three hundred and fifty thousand!"

"Three hundred and seventy thousand!"

...

"Eighty and eighty thousand!"

"Is there a higher price?"

"Eighty-eighty thousand for the first time... Well, this gentleman offers nine hundred thousand!"

Cai Keming smiled and suddenly raised the volume to mobilize everyone's emotions.

The rich man who just quoted 880,000 hastened the speed of deducting the Buddha beads in his hand. He seemed to be determined to win the "Song of the Great Master of the Liang Dynasty". He held up the placard again with a resolute expression, and shouted out the value that would make the atmosphere of the conference room hotter.

"one million!"

"The first lot in this special auction exceeded 1 million..."

...

"One million two hundred thousand... the third time!"

"Boom!"

With the sound of the hammer hitting the ground, it means that the price has fallen, and this engraved edition of the Five Dynasties period, "Liang Dynasty Fu Dashi's Praise of the Diamond Sutra" was taken into the bag at a price of 1.2 million.

The transaction price exceeded the minimum estimate twice, which made Ren Decheng, who was watching behind the scenes, very excited.

If anyone is more excited than him, it is undoubtedly the collector who provided the engraved edition of the Five Dynasties period "The Great Master of the Liang Dynasty". The choice of Sotheby's in the future will be his first choice for auction.

...

The first lot was sold at twice the lowest estimate, which changed the mentality of the wealthy who participated in the auction.

Sure enough, the next second piece "Yi Benyi Appendices Compilation Shu 15 Volumes", the third piece "Buddha's Said Maitreya Sutra", the fourth piece... none of them were unsold, and the transaction price exceeded the minimum estimate. Not a lot.

This situation makes the atmosphere of the auction more and more lively.

Before you know it, the auction has come to an end, the atmosphere of the venue has reached a peak, and many people are looking forward to it.

Cai Keming's voice became excited, and he said loudly: "Next, it is the moment that everyone is watching. I know that all the VIPs at the scene are here for it. After so many days, everyone knows more than me. I There's no way to get an axe!"

"The Jiajing copy of "Yongle Ceremony", a total of 122 volumes, the starting price is 2 million Hong Kong dollars, the minimum increase is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the auction starts!"

"Boom!"

It was just that the hammer was knocked down, but the scene was silent.

As soon as the price of 2 million Hong Kong dollars came out, many people's expressions changed. Obviously, they did not expect the price to be so high. The psychological plans of all those who were interested in participating in the auction were disrupted.

For example, Liu Shaoquan, who came with Zhuang Siping, had a very ugly face. He did not expect that the price of two million Hong Kong dollars specially approved for him by the Ministry was only enough for the lowest starting price. Even if he participated, he would only have one chance to bid. Gotta bid before everyone else.

Fortunately, he has a strong support.

With lingering fears and secret joy, he looked at Zhuang Siping, Bao Yugang and the others beside him.

Now we can only pin our hopes on these people!

The moment of silence was just because it was too unexpected. Fortunately, the people present were not ordinary people, and they quickly reacted.

Just the first bidder made many people present look ugly.

I saw an islander in the sixth row holding a placard high and using a strong island accent to quote a price: "Five million!"

There was a bit of agitation in the venue, and some people talked a lot and learned that this little devil is the representative of the East Asian Library of the island country.

A local rich man in Hong Kong could not see the arrogance of the islanders in Hong Kong, so he brazenly raised his placard and said aloud: "Six million!"

"Seven million!"

The representative of the island country East Asia Library showed a firm face, and immediately chased the price in broken Mandarin, revealing the attitude of winning.

At this time, a representative of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York also raised a placard and quoted in English: "7.5 million!"

"Seven and sixty thousand!"

"Seven and eight million!"

...

The auction boom suddenly broke out, and many rich people made bids one after another. Although it seemed a little chaotic, it was undeniable that many people were excited.

It can be seen from the surprises on the faces of the reporters around and the constant pressing of the shutter.

The price quickly topped 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

Some people with insufficient strength can only clench their fists unwillingly.

And at this time, some really powerful tycoons in the venue finally moved!

"10.5 million!" This price was quoted by the richest man in Malaysia, Robert Kuok.

"Eleven million!" Qiu Deba, the richest man in the star country, raised his placard and quoted.

"11.5 million!" From the representative of the East Asian Library of the island country.

"Twelve million!" Ma Jincan from Dasheng Bank raised his placard.

...

"Mr. Zhuang, are we still not bidding?"

Watching the price rise gradually, while Zhuang Siping beside him was still indifferent, Liu Shaoquan became anxious, he asked nervously.

Zhuang Siping said with a smile: "President Liu, don't worry, it's only less than half now, and the price will soon exceed 20 million. At that time, it will not be too late for us to bid again. Don't worry, we have a lot of confidence."

Zhuang Siping's calmness affected Liu Shaoquan, he calmed down a little, nodded and said, "Okay, it's up to you, Mr. Zhuang."

Time passed quickly in the fierce bidding, and the bidding price also reached 19 million Hong Kong dollars.

And this price has scared most people away, and they can only watch the big guy perform.

Those who continue to quote, except for the East Asian Library of the island country and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the remaining four are all Chinese.

"19.5 million!"

The representative of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York raised his placard again with a solemn expression. He felt a lot of pressure when the bidding reached this level.

Their bottom line is US$5 million, which is just over 22 million in Hong Kong dollars.

The price is already high!

What's more, they prefer old European artworks and modern paintings. They don't pay too much attention to Chinese cultural relics. If it weren't for the title of "Yongle Dadian" being the largest encyclopedia in the history of the world, let alone five million With a budget of $500,000, they won't necessarily come out, and they won't come.

"Twenty million!"

Ma Jincan of Dasheng Bank gritted his teeth and quoted the last price, and then watched Guo Henian's offer of 20.5 million, and suddenly shook his head with a wry smile and put down the sign, he did not follow.

Seeing that Ma Jincan, a big collector of collecting hobby, gave up, and many people lamented that the competition was too fierce for the true bigwigs to bear, Zhuang Siping finally joined in and raised his cards decisively.

"Twenty-one million!"

"That's Mr. Zhuang Siping from Nanyang Commercial Bank. I didn't expect him to take action at this time. Haven't I heard that he likes to collect antiques?"

"Who knows what the big guy is thinking, keep watching, I wonder if there are other big guys who haven't shot yet."

"Isn't the one next to him the ship king? The net worth is obvious to all. He has more money than Mr. Zhuang. It seems that he hasn't made a bid yet, right?"

"Hey, it's 22.5 million. Judging from the appearance of the Americans, it seems that they don't plan to follow?"

...

Many people in the venue have turned into melon eaters and started to gossip in a low voice.

When the price rose to 28 million, Qiu Depu also gave up continuing to increase the price.

The competition is only between the representative of the island country East Asia Library and Zhuang Siping.

"Twenty-eight million and a half million!" The representative of the island country East Asia Library made a solemn quotation.

"Twenty-nine million!" Zhuang Siping did not change his color, and immediately followed the quotation.

"thirty million!"

The representative of the island country East Asia Bunko gritted his teeth with a fierce look on his face, and raised his placard again.

"30,500,000!" Zhuang Siping was still unmoved, but he only increased the price by 500,000, which made the representative of the island nation's East Asian Library greatly irritated.

However, the island country belongs to the Chinese cultural circle and is deeply influenced by Chinese culture. The pursuit of Chinese cultural relics in the island country is not comparable to that of the Americans. What’s more, in this era, the island people are not poor in money, so although the price is so high, the island country East Asia library The representative can still bear it =, is to continue to follow.

"Thirty-one million!"

At this time, in seat 65, Hua Shengshi, who couldn't help but touch Xia Yu, asked in a low voice, "Mr. Xia, are we still making an offer?"

Xia Yu glanced at Zhuang Siping and nodded slightly to Hua Shengshi.

The latter immediately understood.

When the representative of the East Asian Library of the island country increased the price again by 500,000, it surpassed Zhuang Siping with 32 million.

Hua Shengshi suddenly stood up and raised his placard and shouted loudly, "Thirty-five million!"

"Wow!"

Just listening to the restlessness in the field, everyone focused their attention on Huashengshi.

When it was discovered that it was not an already rich man, but a strange old man, many people whispered, wanting to know who this old man was, but he only shot at this time, and the price was increased by 3 million. A proper super dark horse!

Didn't you see that the faces of the representatives of the East Asian Library of the island country are all black?

Even Zhuang Siping, who has been without waves, frowned.

"Mr. Zhuang, who is this person?"

Liu Shaoquan's palms were sweating, and he asked Zhuang Siping and Bao Yugang nervously.

Neither of them answered Liu Shaoquan, but continued to look back at Huashengshi.

It's just that unlike Zhuang Siping who looked at Hua Shengshi, Bao Yugang's eyes were fixed on the face of the young man wearing sunglasses sitting beside Hua Shengshi.

He didn't notice Xia Yu when Xia Yu entered the door just now, but now, with his familiarity with Xia Yu, even if Xia Yu wore sunglasses, he still recognized him at a glance.

He looked at Huashengshi again and felt a little familiar, as if he had seen it once at Xia Yu's house.

So Huashengshi's offer was actually inspired by Xia Yu?

This is troublesome!

He knew that Xia Yu's financial resources were definitely number one in Xiangjiang. If Xia Yu wanted one thing, no one could compete.

But Xia Yu didn't know their plan, they were separated from Xia Yu for a while, and they couldn't communicate with each other. What should I do?

Bao Yugang recognized it, and Huo Yingdong, who was sitting next to him, recognized it too. He tugged Bao Yugang's sleeve, the two looked at each other, and both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Thirty-five million for the first time!"

"Is there a higher price?"

Seeing that the venue was a little chaotic, but no one raised the price for a long time, Cai Keming immediately increased his volume and said.

"Thirty-six million!"

The representative of the island country East Asia Bunko was sweating lightly on his forehead, and shouted again with a placard.

Most of the people in the venue turned their attention to Huashengshi, and some of them turned to Zhuang Siping.

Before Zhuang Siping made an offer, Huashengshi didn't change his face, raised his placard again, and shouted loudly, "Forty million!"

"Uh..." The representative of the island country East Asia Library, who wanted to continue to increase the price, seemed to be strangled by the neck, and was speechless by the quotation from Huashengshi.

"Mr. Zhuang!"

In the first row, Liu Shao looked anxious and shouted to Zhuang Siping in a low voice.

Zhuang Siping, who came to his senses, found the difference between Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong. He patted Liu Shaoquan's hand, and then asked Bao Yugang in a low voice: "Mr. Bao, do you know this person? What is his origin? Why is the bid so fierce?"

Bao Yugang said to Zhuang Siping with a wry smile: "Mr. Zhuang, his background is really not small, look at the old man with sunglasses on his right, it's Xia Yu, he should be bidding for Xia Yu."

A look of shock flashed in Zhuang Siping's eyes. He looked beside Hua Shengshi. Sure enough, there was a young man wearing sunglasses sitting there. Looking closely, he really looked like Xia Yu.

Aware that someone was looking at him, Xia Yu followed his feelings and found that it was Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong, and Zhuang Siping. Xia Yu smiled and nodded at them.

"Sure enough, it's him, this..."

Zhuang Siping also felt a headache.

"Forty million Hong Kong dollars for the first time!"

At this time, Cai Keming saw that there was no quotation for a long time, and he began to make repeated bids.

"Mr. Zhuang, are we not bidding?"

"Who is that Xia Yu? Is he rich?"

Liu Shaoquan asked nervously.

"Not ordinary rich!"

Zhuang Siping gave Liu Shaoquan a wry smile.

Then he looked at Bao Yugang, Huo Yingdong and Wang Kuancheng with obvious meaning in their eyes, what should I do? Are you still adding?

If it was someone else, he wasn't afraid, but when the opponent was Xia Yu, it would be another matter.

Xia Yu can donate 100 million Hong Kong dollars twice for building Jiuding University, and 30 million Hong Kong dollars each to Hong Kong University and the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Even Xia Yu was able to acquire banks that were comparable or even stronger than his Nanyang Commercial Bank, and the British consortiums were swallowed up by Xia Yu one after another. Xia Yu's financial strength was obvious to all in Xiangjiang.

Now Xia Yu's face has not changed, and he has increased the price on a large scale.

"If the little devil doesn't continue to fight, I think we should give up. It's best to go to him in private after filming."

Bao Yugang suggested.

"I agree with Lao Bao's suggestion. We don't know Xia Yu's purpose, and he doesn't know that we are together. We don't know when we will be the best in this fight, and it will only be outsiders who will take advantage of it."

Huo Yingdong said with approval.

Zhuang Siping looked at Wang Kuancheng again.

Wang Kuancheng's strength is the weakest, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Let's communicate in private after the auction, if Xia Yu is willing, then we can solve it in private, we will make up the money for him, if he is not willing in private, then we will fight now. You will lose in the end if you have a bloodbath.”

Zhuang Siping was silent, that was indeed the truth.

Competing with Xia Yu would only be a pointless competition.

"Forty million for the second time!"

"Is there a higher price?"

Cai Keming's voice sounded again.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely tense, and most of the people looked at the people in the East Asian Library of the island country and Zhuang Siping.

It's just that the people from the East Asian Library of the island country sat with dark faces, apparently giving up.

Liu Shaoquan also listened to Zhuang Siping's whispered conversation, and he also knew that things had become very complicated.

He turned his head and took a deep look at Hua Shengshi and Xia Yu who was wearing sunglasses, and then looked at Zhuang Siping.

What responded to him was Zhuang Siping's apologetic smile and comforting words: "President Liu, don't worry, we will find him privately after the auction is over."
