"Boss, if we give up, we will have to bear 5% of the liquidated damages of 970,000 US dollars to pay to the auction agency to make up for the commission they did not get because we gave up." This person was bidding with Gu Sheng at this moment His face looked like a bitter gourd.
"Then you have to give up. Are you stupid? Don't you understand how much and how little 970,000 US dollars and 48,500 are? Hang up! Trash!" After saying that, the owner on the other side hung up angrily.
Soon, we came to the last item of the auction. This luminous pearl had been publicized in advance, so everyone knew about it, but they had not yet seen its true appearance.
I saw the hostess carrying a rosewood box to the center of the stage, and then very carefully placed the box on a cylindrical display in the middle.
"Everyone, we have finally come to the part we are most looking forward to today. The finale of our auction is the Peerless Night Pearl collected by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty! ..." As the host's introduction ended, the lights on the entire site lit up. The sub is completely extinguished.
When the lights were completely extinguished, the entire scene was almost pitch black except for a few emergency exit signs that were still glowing faintly.
The host slowly opened the lid of the sandalwood box, then took out the luminous pearl and gently placed it in the prepared position in front of the box. This position ensures that everyone on site can see it.
At this moment, the luminous pearl is like a bright star. It exudes soft blue light, like moonlight shining on the earth, giving people a peaceful and mysterious feeling.
The luminous pearl is fixed on an exquisite base, surrounded by circles of silver halo, like a Milky Way. Its surface is smooth and round, exuding a soft luster, as if it were a newly unearthed gem. In the darkness, the luminous pearl becomes a beautiful landscape, making people marvel at the magic and beauty of nature.
"Please ask the staff to turn on the lights!" Just when everyone was still immersed in the beauty of the night pearl. The host asked the staff to turn on the indoor lights. Although the light has been restored, the night pearl is still so dazzling.
"I believe that everyone has a deep understanding and knowledge of this auction, so let's get down to business. Today's auction ceremony for the King of Displays - Emperor Wu of Han Dynasty's Peerless Luminous Pearl has officially begun! The starting price is US$2.88 million, with a minimum bid increase each time 100,000!"
The next bidding actually focused on three people, one was Hu Weimin, the other was Mr. Lian whom he had met when he just entered the house, and finally there was a foreigner.
There were indeed many people participating in the bidding at the beginning, but after the price was sold to 4.5 million US dollars, almost only the three of them were still competing.
Finally, at US$5 million, the foreigner shook his head and quit the competition. So only Hu Weimin and Mr. Lian were left.
Because the two were originally rivals, they were at odds now. But the organizers like this kind of picture, because the better they are, the more commissions the organizers will extract.
"Mr. Hu, the total amount is already 35.66 million yuan. Isn't it a bit too much?" Gu Sheng saw that Hu Weimin was already furious, so he quickly persuaded him in a low voice.
"Xiao Sheng, don't worry about it. I have to take down this night pearl today. In addition to the reasons I just told you, there is one more thing at this moment that I have to compete with the guy named Lian! It's not like you didn't see how arrogant he was just now. It looks like that." After all, Hu Weimin has a big family and a big business. Although the price of 35 million is no longer cost-effective, it is nothing to him.
The two showed no signs of slowing down, and soon the bidding price reached US$8 million. Gu Sheng didn't know how to persuade him, because Hu Weimin was already on top. Gu Sheng knew that he was bound to win, and Hu Weimin was indeed not short of money, so he did not persuade Hu Weimin anymore.
Finally, after more than an hour of continuous bidding, Hu Weimin successfully bid for US$10.5 million. Everyone at the scene was shocked. Unexpectedly, this night pearl was sold for the equivalent of 74.85 million yuan.
"Let us congratulate Mr. Hu on his successful bid for the Emperor Wu's Night Pearl. Thank you for your support and generosity. Please come to the stage and say a few words." It can be seen that the host's tone was a little trembling at this moment, because she did not expect it. Being able to achieve such a high price, her salary is directly related to the final transaction price. So she can also make a fortune.
“I am very honored to be standing here, and I am also very honored to have this auction alive. I would like to share with you my wish, which is to donate this luminous pearl to the National Museum for free.
As a citizen, we all have a responsibility to contribute to society. For me, donating property is one way I can think of. I also promise that in the future, Runtian Group and I will do our best to help the country solve some practical problems and contribute to the development of society.
I also hope that through my actions, more private entrepreneurs will contribute to our motherland!
Here, I sincerely hope that everyone can contribute their own strength to society and the country. Let us work together to create a better future! thank you all! "As Hu Weimin's speech ended, there was a steady stream of applause.
All this was also photographed by many media workers at the scene. In addition, the 80 million auction items of Chairman Hu Weimin of Runtian Group were directly donated to the national collection. The newcomers who have found another unique piece for the motherland will be overwhelming. All this is his Arrangements made long ago.
So 80 million may seem like a donation, but the positive impact and value behind it are actually far more than worth it. But Hu Weimin also sincerely wants to donate to the country.
With the end of the bidding for this night pearl, this auction has also come to an end. All successful bidders have gone to the auction organizer for final payment and procedures.
"Where is the bidder for the Tiger Talisman? Please go to the payment office to complete the procedures." At this time, the staff called the person bidding for the Tiger Talisman through the microphone.
He arrived belatedly when he heard the call. As soon as he came, he expressed regret and gave up on his own initiative. Willing to pay liquidated damages.
After the liquidated damages were paid, he walked out very depressed. Because he knew that his boss would definitely fire him this time.
"Brother, let's talk about the Tiger Talisman?" Just as he walked out of the hall in despair, Gu Sheng was already waiting for him at the door and called him.
"What a fucking tiger talisman, I didn't ask for it!" The man was furious when he looked at Gu Sheng, and he couldn't speak in a good mood at the moment.
