Chapter 672 Crazy Abalone(1/2)
Lu Zhongguang's emotions also reached a high point, and he turned his attention to Feng Jing, who was standing on the Taiwan side.
Feng Jing was naturally very excited. The success of the auction was beyond her expectations. She expected the auction to go very smoothly, but she did not expect to achieve such a dazzling result.
She nodded slightly to Lu Zhongguang, then took a deep breath and walked to the center of the stage.
"Dear guests, we will auction the last best abalone today!" Feng Jing said with a smile, "This abalone is also the rarest of all the items today. Its weight reaches 653.2 grams, which is much higher than the standard of abalone. It can even be said to be a priceless treasure!"
Everyone in the audience held their breath when they heard this.
Priceless treasures are naturally just a description. When everything is on auction, there will definitely be a transaction price in the end.
However, no one thinks Feng Jing's words have any exaggeration.
653.3 grams of super big abalone!
Before today, more than 300 grams of abalone can be called the best. Both abalones are very rare.
At today's auction, Taoyuan Company took out more than 20 abalones in one go, most of which were more than 600 grams, and everyone was more or less numb.
But even so, the 653.2 grams of super big abalone still made everyone feel a little tempted by the mountain.
Today, when both abalones are so rare, isn’t such a large abalone a priceless treasure?
Feng Jing continued: "Let's reveal the last super abalone first!"
After saying that, she walked to the table and gently pulled off the red silk.
A photographer immediately went up to take a set of close-up shots, which were also transmitted to the large screen in real time.
Everyone stared at the screen intently, and the high-definition camera took every detail of the abalone clearly. Looking at it from all angles, this abalone is so perfect, making those gourmets who really like this yearning for it!
Feng Jing had a confident smile on her face and said, "I believe everyone has already read the auction manual. The last best abalone auction is for auction. Considering that some customers are unable to come to the scene for various reasons, in addition to all the guests present, we also accept remote bidding."
"Of course, there are certain threshold requirements for remote auctions. We started accepting applications three days ago and also actively sent out some invitations based on the situation. After the qualification review, a total of fifteen customers met the standards for remote auctions. Now they are all online!"
After Feng Jing finished speaking, an interface was already displayed on the big screen on the right.
This is the special page for the top abalone auction on the official website of Hengfeng Auction House. A sub-page is specially hung here and the remote bidding system is loaded.
You can clearly see that all 15 virtual avatars have been lit up, and each id has only a number, namely 01 to 15.
Although I don’t know who the owner behind these 15 ids is, everyone knows it. I’m afraid their background will not be smaller than that of Li Kai, He Xinyi, Zheng Zhilun and others present, otherwise it would be impossible for them to pass the strict review of Hengfeng Auction House.
After hearing Feng Jing's introduction, Xia Rufei was stunned for a moment, and then secretly opened the auction manual in his hand and started to look through it. Sure enough, he found the content about the last abalone being auctioned in combination with the remote auction.
He couldn't help but blush, the chairman, was really a bit incompetent. He didn't know what even ordinary guests knew.
In fact, Feng Jing took the initiative to report the relevant situation yesterday, but Xia Rufei was afraid of trouble, so he simply pushed it to Feng Jing and became a hand-off manager. After coming to the auction hall, he just flipped through the auction manual casually and did not study it as seriously as those who were interested in competing.
Xia Ruofei looked at the stage with some guilt and found that Feng Jing looked at him with a smile. He couldn't help but feel even more embarrassed. He smiled dryly at Feng Jing and sat upright.
Feng Jing did see Xia Rufei secretly looking through the auction manual. She knew that this boss Xia might not even understand the auction process well, and she couldn't help feeling helpless.
I really owe him in my previous life... Feng Jing sighed in her heart.
Of course, she is used to seeing big scenes, so although she is a little distracted, she is still calm on the surface.
After introducing the situation, Feng Jing smiled and said, "Next, I will return the stage to Mr. Lu Zhongguang, chief auctioneer of Hengfeng! I wish you all good luck here!"
After saying that, Feng Jing bowed slightly, returned to the high stool on the side of the stage with everyone's applause and sat down, while Lu Zhongguang walked onto the stage from the side.
This small link allowed Lu Zhongguang, who had always been in a highly excited state, to get a short rest time. In addition, the auction of the last oversized abalone also made him very excited, so when he returned to the stage, he looked refreshed again.
"Ladies and gentlemen! The most exciting moment has finally arrived!" Lu Zhongguang said loudly in his unique magnetic voice, "I announce that the last item at this auction, the super abalone weighing 653.2 grams, will be auctioned! The starting price of this abalone is 0 yuan! Each time the price is no less than HK$200,000! Online and offline guests can bid!"
The last piece of abalone starts at zero yuan. In fact, it doesn’t make any sense to set the starting price. Although it starts at zero yuan, under such fierce competition, it is impossible for anyone to buy it at a very low price.
When you see the rich people who are eager to try the VIP area below, and the fifteen mysterious buyers who are eyeing each other online, you will know that the transaction price of this abalone will definitely not be low.
At least it will not be lower than the two abalones with an average price of HK$5 million.
So starting from zero yuan is actually a gimmick, which is also a commonly used gimmick in auction houses.
Sure enough, as soon as Lu Zhongguang finished speaking, someone immediately offered a bid.
HK$5 million!
Moreover, the bidding is not any guest on the market, but online remote buyers.
After the online buyer bids, the screen on the other side will display huge numbers, indicating the price and the buyer's number.
Everyone saw that the price was raised to the second highest price tonight and couldn't help but take a breath.
Xia Rufei couldn't help but smile. Feng Jing's arrangement did take a lot of effort, which can be seen from this small link.
The financial strength of these fifteen online buyers is certainly unquestionable. If they can participate in the auction, there will definitely be no problem with the desire to buy top-quality abalone.
But they were allowed to participate in the auction of the last oversized abalone, which was a bit interesting.
These people who participated in the online auction must not have just been launched. You should know that today's auction was broadcast live on the official website of Hengfeng Auction House.
In other words, in the past more than an hour, these fifteen buyers with strong purchasing intentions could only watch the guests on the scene take away abalone, and their appetites were already very high.
Finally, they came to the last stage. They were able to participate in the auction in person. After suppressing their desire to buy for so long, they naturally burst out suddenly.
Lu Zhongguang's tone immediately rose by two or three degrees: "Buyer No. 06 bids HK$5 million! This remote buyer seems to be determined to win! If our friends on the scene want to make a profit, they can't hesitate anymore!"
"5.2 million!" A voice sounded in the venue.
Everyone looked in the voice and saw Zheng Zhilun holding up the auction plate, also looking like he was determined to win.
Like the fifteen online buyers, Zheng Zhilun was also in a hurry.
He looked down on the slightly lighter abalone in front of him and didn't take action at all. Finally, he got to the final three abalones. When the first abalone was auctioned, he shook his mind and showed some gentlemanly demeanor. Seeing that the beautiful and sexy He Xinyi was interested in buying, he took the initiative to give in.
Unexpectedly, He Xinyi failed to compete with Li Kai. When the second abalone was auctioned, she continued to participate in the auction. Zheng Zhilun, who was talking, could only pinch his nose and continue to "promote his style".
Seeing that this was the last abalone, Zheng Zhilun bid without hesitation.
"Okay! Mr. Zheng from Xinyu Group has bid 5.2 million Hong Kong dollars!" Lu Zhongguang said immediately.
As soon as Lu Zhongguang finished speaking, a new offer was immediately issued on the big screen: HK$5.5 million.
Each time, the price increase is no less than HK$200,000, but not every time, you can only add 200,000. As long as you are willing, you can add 300,000, 500,000 or even 1 million.
This time the bid was for a remote buyer with id number 13.
Just as this offer was released, Li Kai from the audience also raised the sign and said, "Five hundred..."
He was stunned for a moment when he saw the price on the big screen, and then said, "HK$5.7 million!"
Obviously, the price Li Kai was preparing to quote was not so high at the beginning, but it was taken first by remote buyers, so the quotation was temporarily adjusted.
Lu Zhongguang didn't even have time to quote a price of 5.5 million, so he immediately refreshed it, so he said directly: "Mr. Li of the Yangtze River Group has bid 5.7 million Hong Kong dollars!"
Zheng Zhilun, who was sitting in the first row, couldn't help but turn dark. Li Kai had already bought a bastard and actually came to compete with him. This was a bit too amazing, right?
When the second finale was released, Li Kai, who had just bought an abalone for 4.8 million, did not snatch it with He Xinyi, but he was a little out of hand with Zheng Zhilun. In addition, this is a "king of abalone" of more than 650 grams! So naturally he would not show mercy.
Although Zheng Zhilun was very unhappy, he couldn't say anything.
Everyone comes to the auction. You can’t just buy one, just because Li Kai has already bought one, right?
He has a lot of money and wants to buy more, who can control it?
Zheng Zhilun snorted coldly, then immediately raised the sign and whispered: "HK$6 million!"
After quoting the price, he couldn't help but glance at Li Kai.
Millions or thousands of dollars are nothing in the eyes of these two young masters. Zheng Zhilun was a little angry and really wanted to fight for this breath.
What's more, when he got the auction manual, he had already locked in this abalone because his second uncle, Zheng Yutong, the founder of Xinyu Group, will celebrate his 70th birthday next month. He is planning to use this top-quality abalone as a birthday gift.
Li Kai turned a blind eye to Zheng Zhilun's hostility, always with a gorgeous smile on his face, raised the sign gently, and said lightly: "HK$6.2 million!"
These two young men are in trouble! Everyone has seen some signs.
He Xinyi, wearing a low-cut evening dress, looked at the two of them with interest, but she did not bid anymore.
Xia Rufei, who was sitting in the third row, was very excited. This was the scene that the seller wanted to see the most. When the two of them were angry, they would inevitably raise prices for each other. Anyway, he, the seller, would definitely be the one who benefited in the end.
Zheng Zhilun's face turned red with anger. After taking a deep breath, he raised the sign and said, "6.4 million!"
Then he looked at Li Kai and said with a slight smile: "Mr. Li, next month, my uncle's birthday, I hope to give this abalone to him as a birthday gift, and I would like to ask you to give it to you!"
Although Zheng Zhilun was polite, he had a hint of resentment, and anyone could tell that Mr. Zheng was probably really angry.
Li Kai would not be afraid of Zheng Zhilun. He just smiled faintly and said, "Then I wish Mr. Zheng a long life in advance! But I am happy to see such a precious abalone. Let's rely on our own abilities? Doesn't this make your birthday gift more sincere?"
Many people in the audience laughed secretly.
Li Kai naturally needs to respect Zheng Yutong. This old man is a legend in the business world and his status in Hong Kong is no worse than his father. However, Zheng Zhilun... he doesn't have to give him any face.
Zheng Zhilun was so angry that he almost threw the table and left. He spent more money to show his sincerity? He could think of it!
However, people have made it clear that they will not give in, so Zheng Zhilun naturally has no way out.
He looked at Li Kai in a gloomy way, then snorted coldly, raised the sign, and said loudly: "6.6 million!"
Li Kai raised his sign again without hesitation: "6.8 million!"
“7 million!”
“7.2 million!”
