Many professional treasure hunters have shown little interest in Robert's surrealist paintings and drawing manuscripts, and no one has paid any attention to them.
They were busy discussing the next auction strategy, and as a result, these oil paintings and sketch manuscripts were successfully photographed by Xiao Ran, and all of them were collected.
What's even better is that he basically won it at the starting price, reducing the cost to the minimum.
Including that surrealist work by Dali!
After taking down these paintings and sketch manuscripts, Xiao Ran fell silent again.
He did not participate in the auctions of mortgaged properties and cars that started immediately, and did not even hold up a sign.
Many fans in the live broadcast room were extremely excited.
Unfortunately, they were not there and could only look at the cheap houses and cars with envy.
In the blink of an eye, three-quarters of the auction of expired mortgage items had passed, and it was already around 10:30 pm.
The last mortgaged property was successfully auctioned, and the property auction ended.
Immediately afterwards, a land title certificate appeared on the big screen.
This is the most important auction of the night, an eight-hundred-acre piece of land in the Permian Basin.
The moment they saw this land deed, the eyes of almost everyone present turned red and their eyes shone brightly.
Many guys pushed away their seats and stood up suddenly, staring at the land deeds on the big screen with crazy eyes.
Even Xiao Ran, who has a net worth of more than one billion US dollars, was excited at this time.
This is not a land deed, it is simply an oil field. Who can not be crazy about it?
Hearing the noise coming from behind, David immediately turned his head and looked back.
As a result, I saw a group of guys with red eyes.
"Wow! These guys are crazy!"
Xiao Ran also turned his head and glanced back, and then whispered:
"It's so normal. You know, this title deed probably means an oil field."
"Who can not be crazy about an oil field within reach?"
"No matter who succeeds in taking a picture of this land deed today, they will be the target of public criticism!"
While speaking, he glanced at Kevin and Sylvia in the crowd, and nodded lightly at those guys.
Kevin and the others, nine of them in total, were sitting in the third row of the auction venue, and they were together.
According to the previously reached cooperation agreement, Xiao Ran will jointly bid with them for this precious land title.
The person responsible for holding the sign at the scene was naturally Xiao Ran.
He has the power to deal with this land deed, and other collaborators can make suggestions, but they are not allowed to object or interfere.
The equity of the remaining partners is the ratio obtained by dividing their respective investment amounts and the final transaction price, and the proportions vary.
However, the combined rights and interests enjoyed by the nine of them shall not exceed 49%.
This kind of cooperative relationship can ensure that Xiao Ran always takes the lead.
After saying hello to Sylvia and the others, Xiao Ran nodded to Anthony and Marvin in the distance.
The two guys immediately nodded in response and secretly made an OK gesture.
In the live broadcast room, the pot was already boiling.
"I'll go! This land deed finally appeared. Xiao Ran must get it. This is an oil field!"
"With this land deed, you can live like an oil tycoon!"
The memory spoke with excitement from that time.
Xiao Ran smiled softly, and then responded in a low voice:
"My buddy is bound to get this land deed, but he doesn't even dare to think about becoming an oil tycoon!"
Before he finished speaking, Yanyu Jiangnan continued:
"That's right! Anyone who dares to exploit oil and natural gas on this land will probably die an ugly death!"
"But there is no problem in making a lot of money using this land title."
While he was speaking, the auctioneer's passionate voice came from the front.
"Ladies and gentlemen, what is going to be auctioned next is the most important item tonight."
"This is a title deed. The land it corresponds to is located in the Permian Basin at the border of New Mexico and Texas, covering a total area of 820 acres."
"I believe everyone is very familiar with the Permian Basin. It is the most important oil and gas production base in the United States."
"And this piece of land that is about to be auctioned is located on the edge of a giant oil and gas field that has just been discovered in the Permian Basin. It is definitely a treasure."
"The buyer who successfully acquires this piece of land may become the next oil tycoon in the United States!..."
With the auctioneer's encouragement, everyone at the scene suddenly became more excited and excited.
No one knows the Permian Basin better than the professional treasure hunters from New Mexico.
No one understands better than them what the land in the Permian Basin really means.
Almost all the billionaires in New Mexico come from the Permian Basin or own an oil and gas field of large or small size in the Permian Basin.
The land in the Permian Basin was robbed at the beginning of the last century, leaving only a few private farms.
For hundreds of years, there has been almost no land for sale in the Permian Basin. Who is willing to sell land that is like a gold mine?
The eight hundred acres of land corresponding to this title deed is the largest piece of land released in the Permian Basin in recent years, and its geographical location is excellent.
Whoever takes this title deed and this land is tantamount to owning a huge gold mine.
Thinking of this, the eyes of the professional treasure hunters from New Mexico suddenly turned blood red, and they looked quite scary.
The auctioneer had finished introducing the relevant information about the land deed, then raised his hands and pressed down on it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please sit down and pay attention to the order of the venue."
“The auction will start soon, everyone is welcome to participate in the competition, and I wish everyone good luck.”
Following his words, many buyers at the scene sat down one after another, gearing up to start a fierce fight.
Immediately afterwards, the auctioneer explained the auction rules.
Unlike all previous auction items, the Venetian Casino has set an auction reserve price for this deed, which should be quite high.
The auctioneer said that the auction reserve price was set based on the mortgage price of this land deed.
There is no way of knowing whether this statement is actually true or false.
But if you think about it with your heels, you will know how the Venetian Casino, which is home to rare things, could miss this God-given opportunity to make a lot of money.
The reserve price they set for the auction was several times higher than the mortgage price of the land deed.
The auctioneer did not announce the auction reserve price, which will be announced after the auction ends.
After introducing the relevant situation, the auctioneer's voice suddenly rose an octave higher and became more passionate.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction begins now"
"The land corresponding to this title deed is located in the Permian Basin and covers an area of 820 acres, including the buildings on the land. It will be packaged and auctioned together."
"The starting price is US$8 million. Which lady or gentleman should bid? Now you can raise your placard."
As the starting price was announced, there was an exclamation of exclamation immediately.
"Please! Most of this land is Gobi. How can it be worth US$8 million? This starting price is too exaggerated!"
"Are you kidding? A farm of this size only costs two to three million dollars in California. Why is this land so expensive?"
These professional treasure hunters and buyers who exclaimed are relatively weak, but they covet this treasure land.
In order to bid for this land title, the vast majority of them had held back until now, saving as much money as possible just for this one shot.
Not only that, they also formed gangs and formed bidding teams, pooling all the funds of the team members to bid for the land title.
Even so, it's not enough.
As soon as the starting price of 8 million US dollars came out, all their unrealistic illusions were instantly shattered.
The funds collected by many bidding teams are far less than US$8 million, and they are directly disqualified from participating in the competition.
This also means that all their previous efforts were in vain.
In the previous auction, they also missed out on many of their favorite treasures. It can be said that they lost both their wives and their troops!
Sylvia and Kevin, who were sitting in the center of the venue, all let out a sigh of relief and were terrified.
If they hadn't reached a cooperation with Xiao Ran, they would have been eliminated.
Even if they can jointly accept the starting price of US$8 million, they will not be able to last for a few rounds and will be eliminated sooner or later.
After the exclamations subsided, the auctioneer smiled and said loudly:
"Everyone knows why the starting price of this land deed is US$8 million, so I won't explain it further."
"For the second time, which lady or gentleman is willing to pay $8 million?"
Before he finished speaking, someone in the audience raised a bidding sign and accepted the offer.
