[Chapter 670 Selling Crazy]
Thirty people who won the lottery were scattered in every corner of the venue, and the abalone’s fragrant aroma also wafted in the venue. Those who didn’t win the lottery looked enviously at the winners beside them tasting top-quality abalone. Each one is itchy.
Even the rich people in the VIP area nodded frequently after tasting the abalone, and exchanged a few words with the people next to them in a low voice from time to time.
Judging from their expressions, these billionaires are obviously also very tempted by the superb abalone provided by Taoyuan Company this time.
Not to mention that almost all of these abalones have reached the standard of a top-quality abalone. The quality of the abalone itself also made these rich people feel very surprised, completely beyond their imagination.
The meat of abalone is very tender, with a hint of toughness, very chewy, and its taste is quite delicious. Under the cooking of the Michelin-starred chef, not only does it not have the slightest fishy smell, but it also has a smell. A special fragrance that impresses everyone who has tasted it today.
In fact, it’s not that Chef Liu’s craftsmanship is superb, but that these abalones grow in the spiritual map space, absorbing the rich spiritual energy in the space all day long, and the seawater in the space is countless times purer than the external marine environment, so the meat itself is very high quality. Pure, even if it is cooked by ordinary chefs, it will not have too much fishy smell.
Of course, whether everyone thinks that Chef Liu is good at craftsmanship, or the quality of Taoyuan Company’s abalone is excellent, in general, this warm-up event arranged by Feng Jing was a hit.
The atmosphere in the audience suddenly became warm, and the guests who were interested in competing were eager to try it out, and many of the rich people in the VIP area also showed expressions of interest.
There are not many abalones in each small plate. Feng Jing saw on the stage that everyone had almost eaten, so she smiled and said: “I believe everyone has a very intuitive understanding of the top-quality abalone that our Taoyuan company will auction today. If we know each other, let’s stop gossip and go straight to the auction!”
Speaking of which, Feng Jing made an inviting gesture and said with a smile, “I’ll hand over the stage to Mr. Lu Zhongguang, chief auctioneer of Hengfeng Auction House! Everyone please applaud!”
There was a burst of warm applause from the audience.
Lu Zhongguang is also well-known on Hong Kong Island, especially in the auction industry. He is the chief auctioneer of Hengfeng Auction House and one of the executive directors of Hengfeng Auction House. Generally, he only has very important auctions. This detail also reflects the importance that Hengfeng Group attaches to this auction.
Lu Zhongguang wore a slim black suit with a festive red tie, hair oil was applied to his hair, his back was meticulous, and his feet were wearing shiny black leather shoes.
With brisk steps, he almost trotted to the center of the stage.
Lu Zhongguang first bowed slightly towards Feng Jing, then picked up the microphone and said, “Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to the abalone auction jointly organized by Hengfeng Group and Taoyuan Company. I am today’s auctioneer Lu Zhongguang!
” There is a saying that it is difficult to buy two-headed abalone with a thousand dollars. As we all know, it is very difficult to breed abalone to the standard of two-headed abalone, and the risk is also very high, so the large abalone that has reached this size has been very rare. Some people even regard the two-headed abalone as a family heirloom!” Lu Zhongguang said in his very distinctive voice with a touch of magnetism, “Two-headed abalone is so rare, let alone one? And the top-quality abalone we auctioned today , most of them exceed the standard of
one abalone, and it can be said to be unique in the history of Hong Kong Island to auction so many abalone at one time!”
Speaking of this, Lu Zhongguang’s volume also began to increase, and his voice was full of contagion: “This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Friends who love this way, don’t miss such a rare opportunity. Maybe your hesitation today will make you regret it in the future…”
Finished , Lu Zhongguang picked up the auction hammer and knocked on it, smiled and said: “Just now everyone has a deep and intuitive understanding of the top-quality abalone to be auctioned this time, so let’s go straight to the topic!”
“The first batch of abalone to be auctioned. There are three abalones in total!” Lu Zhongguang said with a reminder card in his hand, “These three abalones are the same as the two abalones that you shared and tasted just now. If it is measured by Bao’s standards, it is far beyond!”
“The weights of the three abalones are 599 grams, 592 grams and 589 grams respectively!” Lu Zhongguang glanced at the reminder card and said.
When the guests and reporters heard this number, they couldn’t help exclaiming, and some people expressed regret.
The so-called standard of one head and two heads is measured according to the number of abalones per sima jin. If the weight of one abalone reaches or exceeds 1 sima jin, then there is no doubt that it is one head of abalone, and two heads of abalone are The weight of two abalones reaches or exceeds 1 sima jin, that is to say, an abalone weighing more than half a sima jin and less than a sima jin is a two-headed abalone.
The unit of measurement of sima jin is heavier than the jin in our general sense. One jin is 500 grams, and one sima jin is about 79 grams.
In other words, the standard for two-headed abalone is that a single abalone weighs 4 grams or more.
The weight of these three abalones is extremely close to 600 grams. The heaviest one is only about 5 grams away, which is one simajin, which is no different from an abalone, and the other two are also very small.
But just because of the difference between a few grams and a dozen grams, strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as two-headed abalone with oversized two-headed abalone, which is much worse in value.
Lu Zhongguang announced with a smile: “Three abalones are auctioned in one batch, the top three bidders will get the lot, the highest bidder will get the heaviest one, and so on! Of course, if you like these three abalones very much, , you can also bid multiple times. If all the prices you bid are in the top three, then congratulations, you will be the one who won all the three abalones!”
“I believe that everyone has the rules for this first batch of auctions. It is already clear, then we will start the official auction!” Lu Zhongguang said, “The starting price of the first batch of three abalones is 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, and each increase is not less than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. Please bid below!”
“No. 214 Mr. Chen bid 820,000 Hong Kong dollars!”
“Mr. No. 186 bid 830,000 Hong Kong dollars!”
“Ms. Chen from the VIP area made two bids, 880,000 Hong Kong dollars and 900,000 Hong Kong dollars! It seems that Ms. Chen is also very interested in this batch of superb abalone. Interested! Are there any higher ones?”
“The lady on No. 39 bid 910,000 Hong Kong dollars! Your vision is too good! Guests, this is a rare opportunity, don’t hesitate!”
At the beginning of the auction, everyone’s bids were very enthusiastic, and Lu Zhongguang also changed his gentle temperament. , the tone of voice has become full of passion, the tone is also very high, and even a little hoarse.
He is a very experienced auctioneer and knows how to arouse people’s emotions and stimulate their bidding**.
Of course, in fact, he did not need to deliberately mobilize his emotions, and the guest bids were quite positive.
Because most people are not really rich, there are many middle-class or rich families, as well as some seafood restaurants and seafood shop owners.
These people have limited financial resources, and they are very clear that the three abalones were shot according to the market price of two abalones. In fact, both the quality and weight are very close to one abalone, and the cost performance is very high.
In addition, today there are more than a dozen super rich people. The thirty people in the VIP area are the poorest with a net worth of more than ten or two billion. After that, a head of abalone will be auctioned. Basically it is impossible to compete with them.
And as the auction goes on, the price is sure to get higher and higher.
Because the number of abalone is getting smaller and smaller, and the weight is also increasing, so the price will inevitably rise.
Therefore, many guests in the general area hope to seize the opportunity ahead.
However, when most people have this idea, the price is not destined to be too low.
Soon the highest price exceeded one million Hong Kong dollars, and the third-ranked price also came to 960,000 Hong Kong dollars.
And everyone’s enthusiasm is still very high, because even one million Hong Kong dollars is still quite cost-effective.
There was no need for Lu Zhongguang’s words to encourage, and soon the prices of the top three exceeded 1 million Hong Kong dollars, and the highest price even reached 1.2 million Hong Kong dollars.
At this time, the frequency of bidding has gradually eased, and Lu Zhongguang can take a breath. The price refreshed, so that he, a senior auctioneer, was a little dizzy.
Lu Zhongguang also secretly exclaimed in his heart: It’s really crazy!
Of course, Lu Zhongguang is also very clear that this madness is just an appetizer. The real meal is the auction of abalone at the back, especially the three heaviest abalones, which are expected to be auctioned for sky-high prices!
In the end, the three super-sized two-headed abalone were sold for HK$1.89 million, HK$1.87 million and HK$1.86 million respectively.
The three abalones were shot by the owner of a powerful advertising company and the owner of two seafood restaurants.
Buying an abalone at such a high price, the three winning bidders are still very happy, and the people next to them are also very envious, and some people secretly regret that they did not grit their teeth and bid again.
The lady Chen in the VIP area gave up her participation in the auction at about HK$1.5 million, in fact, she had a dispensable attitude, because the real goal of these rich people in the VIP area is the back of the abalone.
Lu Zhongguang’s back was soaked with sweat, and his shirt was sticky, but his mood was very high.
“Congratulations to the three!” Lu Zhongguang said, “I also thank everyone for bringing a good start to this auction! Let’s start the auction of a Bao!”
Lu Zhongguang said while looking at the reminder card in his hand: “This time Among the auction items, there are a total of 21 top-quality abalones, ranging in weight from 610 grams to 650 grams! Let’s auction the first one first! The weight is 5 grams! The starting price is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars! Each increase shall not be less than 30,000 yuan Hong Kong dollars! Please bid!”
Although this one head of abalone was only a dozen grams heavier than the two heads of abalone auctioned just now, the starting price was almost doubled.
No one thinks there is anything wrong with this. The weight of more than ten grams is actually a watershed. The meanings of two-headed abalone and one-headed abalone are completely different, and the degree of preciousness cannot be compared with the same day.
“1.55 million Hong Kong dollars!”
“1.58 million Hong Kong dollars!”
“1.61 million!”
…
As soon as Lu Zhongguang’s voice fell, there were bids one after another.
The auction of the super-sized two-headed abalone just now has completely mobilized everyone’s emotions. There are many seafood shop owners in the ordinary area. They were originally holding a wait-and-see attitude. precious.
There are also many old gluttons from wealthy families, who are also drooling when they see the abalone on the stage, and they bid for the auction one after another.
The abalone to be auctioned later will be heavier and heavier, and the price will definitely be more and more expensive, so many people are thinking of trying their best to grab one while there is still a chance. After all, the rich people in the VIP area have not participated in the competition on a large scale at this time. chase.
When the 630-gram or even 650-gram abalone starts to be auctioned later, you don’t have to think about it, that is the wealth game of the rich in the VIP area, and it has nothing to do with them.
Therefore, as soon as the auction of this abalone started, everyone’s enthusiasm for the auction was undiminished, and the competition was even fiercer than the auction of the super-sized two-end abalone just now.
After a while, everyone’s bid has exceeded two million Hong Kong dollars, and the price increase is still very fast.
“2.3 million Hong Kong dollars!”
“2.33 million!”
“2.4 million Hong Kong dollars!”
…
In the end, this one head of abalone was sold at a high price of 2.83 million Hong Kong dollars. The successful bidder was still the owner of a seafood company in the ordinary area. At that time, the boss also let out a long sigh of relief.
The momentum of this price increase caught him by surprise, but fortunately, he has been clenching his teeth to compete, and he did not hesitate to increase the price, showing his determination to win the competition.
Of course, the key point is that there are very few rich people in the VIP area. Even if there are bids, they have not been fighting all the time. They often shrug their shoulders and give up with a smile after a round or two.
That’s why he managed to grab a head of abalone without a hitch.
