The entire conference room fell into a state of shock. No one could have predicted the direction of this charity auction.
Although Lu Ke's reputation in the entire Bay Area has now reached its peak, he is only a third-year student after all, and he has not retired yet. It is far from the time to "settlement his career". Even if he wants to collect Lu Ke's Ke’s jersey is expected to continue to appreciate in value in the future, but “320,000 US dollars”? This is really outrageous!
In the true sense, "the whole audience was shocked"!
Now, all eyes were focused on the space between No. 33 and No. 95, who came from behind. As if they were watching a live tennis match, their eyes continued to move back and forth between the two people, with burning eyes. The atmosphere at the scene reached a new peak.
At this time, Stephanie's price increases have reached ten thousand US dollars each time, but she still has no determination to stop No. 33 and No. 95 from continuing to bid.
The route from 320,000 to 1 broke through 350,000, and reached 400,000 without any suspense. Then, the quotation speed finally slowed down again. Now the one with the highest price is No. 95, and No. 33 No. hesitated for a moment. Under the gaze of Stephanie and the entire audience, he waited for a while and finally raised the sign.
"Four hundred thousand."
Stephanie still had a professional smile on her face, but her bright eyes still revealed her excitement at the moment. She cast her gaze towards No. 95, "The highest price is now 410,000, what's the price? Is it 420,000? Mr. No. 33 is the highest price. What we are auctioning now is the only one 'unnamed jersey' in the world. What is different is that the name column is autographed by Lu Ke Presented, obviously, this is not a jersey that can be replicated, not to mention that this jersey also experienced an important game that will go down in history..."
Amid Stephanie's provocative words, No. 95 raised the sign again, "Four hundred and twenty thousand!" Obviously, No. 95 came prepared and waited and waited just for this auction. Now he will never give up easily. Even though the auction figures have reached an incredible height, he still grits his teeth and follows up.
But the situation at the scene changed slightly. No. 95 had just raised the sign to bid, and No. 33 raised the sign again without hesitation, "430,000."
"Mr. No. 33 bids 430,000! 430,000! The highest price now is 430,000!" Stephanie's voice became slightly excited, revealing her surge of emotions - even if it was She herself did not expect that such a high price would be achieved at this charity auction.
Stephanie cast her gaze towards No. 95, "Let me confirm now, is there 440,000? If not, the bidding ends here. Excuse me, is there another 440,000? Forty thousand forty thousand?"
Faced with the determination of No. 33, No. 95 still failed to show courage after all. The current price was far, far beyond imagination. In the end, he could only let out a long breath and gave up. His eyes already showed a pinched look despite his intention to compete.
Stephanie caught it, and she also noticed the change in the atmosphere of the scene, so she quickly withdrew her gaze, glanced around the whole place, and began to wrap up the auction, "Four hundred and thirty thousand! Four hundred and thirty thousand! Deal!" The heavy hammer dropped, officially confirming the highest bid in the audience today.
"Biao King" is born!
A total of 430,000, which is absolutely an incredible figure. Not only does it easily exceed the transaction price of the "Bat Boy Suit"; it also exceeds the original estimate of 100 US dollars, which is 4,300 times higher, showing the Lu Ke's super popularity also showed the positive attitude of all the guests.
If Lu Ke had just bought the "Bat Boy Suit" for US$160,000, people might still suspect that Lu Ke was doing it to promote Jiang Youning; then all the speculations can be gone now, no matter from the audience Judging from the momentum of the auction and the enthusiasm of the final bidder to participate, this is a successful auction - and a huge success!
Now, people finally have a clear understanding of Lu Ke's super popularity: it's just a jersey from college, just a jersey without a name and code, just a jersey with an original price of only $11.99, but The final auction price was $430,000!
This is Lu Ke’s current reputation and power! This is the powerful influence Lu Ke now has in the Bay Area! This is the extreme popularity of the number one player in the NFL today!
invincible!
When Stephanie dropped the hammer, all the guests spontaneously stood up and applauded, giving warm applause to No. 33 and Lu Ke.
Logan, Aldon and others even let out a series of strange roars and shouts, mixed with applause and whistles, which really pushed the atmosphere to a climax!
Lu Ke hugged Candice, then took the initiative to stand up, smiled and nodded to all the guests, walked straight towards guest No. 33, took the initiative to shake hands, hug and express his gratitude, "This is really I'm a little flattered." Lu Ke told the truth, he was also frightened.
Guest No. 33 looks very young, probably less than thirty years old, and his suit and leather attire reveals a hint of Wall Street elite temperament. This is not unusual at Stanford University, because Silicon Valley is right next to it, and because Many students start their own businesses in college. They are obviously the elite of society, and the number 33 in front of them should be one of the best. Although they are young, they are already rich.
"My honor!" Guest No. 33 said with a smile. "It is a surprise that the team can enter the Super Bowl again; and it is fate that the team can have you as the quarterback. So, I believe , this jersey has endless potential, and I would be very, very sorry if I missed it today. Now, I can wear this jersey to go to MetLife Stadium and watch this year’s Super Bowl.”
"Haha, if you continue to say this, I will start to be proud and complacent." Lu Ke also answered with a smile, "I hope my jersey can bring you good luck."
Guest No. 33 pursed his lips and nodded slightly, "Then, I will be there to bring good luck to the team. I think this is a good deal."
"Good luck worth 430,000 US dollars! I think the blessing should be enough." Lu Ke's joke made the surrounding guests burst into laughter.
In this way, the auction came to an end in the peak state of the audience. This event is destined to be a sensation in the Bay Area!
Lu Ke's "Unknown No. 11 Jersey" and "Myles Scott's "Batboy Jersey" both became the focus of attention, setting new auction highest prices one after another, which made people clearly feel the enthusiasm of the participating guests. Enthusiasm and the topical effect brought by the highest price triggered heated discussions on social networks!
The story about that jersey, the memory of the Christmas miracle, the reputation of the San Francisco 49ers throughout the Bay Area, the craze at the auction... and so on, just like the Golden Globe Awards ceremony that just ended last week, this A charity auction also created quite a stir.
This is just part of it! More importantly, according to detailed statistics after the auction ended, the final transaction amount of the entire auction was as high as US$1.73 million!
There are no priceless works of art, no lavish billionaires, just relying on donations from personal collections - most of the auction items come from ordinary people, but they finally sold for such a high price, which is really called Incredible, it has undoubtedly become a topic in Chang'an.
On the one hand, the organizers headed by Jiang Youning, through online and offline interactive publicity, and by inviting San Francisco 49ers players to participate, created a topic and a craze, and the final auction price It is indeed very gratifying; on the other hand, it is the influence of the San Francisco 49ers. In addition to Lu Ke, the items of Aldon, Logan, Marcus, Willis and others have also been auctioned for good prices, which makes people feel all-round. I felt the team's strong appeal throughout the Bay Area, especially when it reached its peak after the National League Finals.
Who knows? Maybe in two weeks, this team can go further?
The charity auction has finally come to an end, but the aftermath is still slowly brewing.
Because the "unknown No. 11 jersey" created so many topics that all the focus was taken away, people also forgot the courage that Lu Ke showed when he auctioned the "Batboy jersey" - that kind of The inevitable victory created a lot of topics at the scene:
Some people speculated that Lu Ke was setting up a show for Jiang Youning, and some speculated that Lu Ke spent money to buy his reputation... There were quite a few negative speculations, and they even suspected that they might damage the reputation of the entire auction, but with the whole auction boom for Lu Ke's jersey , those gossips were easily dismissed, or even forgotten directly. It was not until calmness settled down that the relevant topics were recalled again and took on a different look.
If Lu Ke didn't deliberately raise the auction price to support Jiang Youning, then what was Lu Ke's purpose in buying this "Bat Boy suit" at an outrageous price of 160,000?
Is it to give back to Myles Scott and gain a good reputation? If this is really the case, it would appear to be too much. Even if it is for charity, there is no need to do it to such an extent. Being too deliberate will appear false; but if not, then what is the reason? Or is it that Lu Ke auctioned it off just for his personal collection? There's nothing wrong with this...
Faced with the disturbing speculations, Lu Ke never responded, and curious people did not need to wait too long for the truth slowly emerged.
To be precise, they only waited less than seventy-two hours.
