Chapter 215 Bidding Storm
After the auctioneer finished speaking, there was a sudden noise from the audience, as if many people were whispering. If you listened carefully, you could hear some voices.
"Hey, a meteorite like this shouldn't be worth so much money, right?"
"Exactly, has Christie's gone crazy? Ten million is the maximum for a meteorite!"
"Maybe there's a gold nugget in there! Haha!"
"..."
The audience was filled with constant jeers and mocking voices, which were getting louder and louder. Most people were questioning Christie's, saying that the value of Lot 123 was too high.
But the auctioneer just smiled without giving any explanation. He had known about this item before he went on stage. It might cause some controversy, but there would naturally be people who knew the value of it. Then, he would definitely slap the faces of those who didn't know the value of it.
Lu Siyu, who was sitting in the VIP seat, also looked at the stone on the big screen with surprise and asked Xing Deli in surprise, "A stone that broke so quickly is actually more valuable than the royal jewelry of Country Y? This is a joke!"
Xing Deli said indifferently: "Who knows? Maybe in the eyes of some collectors, this is not just a piece of stone, but a nugget of gold!"
Three minutes after the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the audience was just talking, but no one bid. When everyone thought the auction would fail, a clear female voice appeared in the ordinary seats.
"I'll offer 3 million!"
Although the auctioneer did not urge everyone to bid, after all, three minutes had passed and no one had bid, which put a lot of pressure on the auctioneer. When he heard someone bid, he was overjoyed.
"Okay, this... this lady is asking for 3 million. Is there a higher price than that?"
The auctioneer looked towards the ordinary seats where bids were being called out, and happened to meet the eyes of Sun Xiaoyan who was holding the sign. Sun Xiaoyan seemed to have a kind of brilliance on him, and gave the auctioneer a look that made him pause for a moment.
"This……"
“Someone actually made an offer!”
"Who is this, this fool..."
As Sun Xiaoyan made the offer, there was an uproar at the scene and everyone looked over.
For a moment, Sun Xiaoyan became the focus of everyone's attention, and her beauty once again shocked everyone. People who had not paid attention to Sun Xiaoyan before also asked around to find out who she was.
Lu Siyu, sitting in the VIP seat, turned pale and said angrily, "Sun Xiaoyan, this woman, is really scheming. She used such a little trick to attract everyone's attention. How shameless!"
Xing Deli reluctantly withdrew his gaze from Sun Xiaoyan, lowered his head, and began to wonder in his heart, is there any chance for him to get to know this goddess-like woman better?
After Lu Siyu finished getting angry, she looked at Xing Deli who was thinking with his head down. She rolled her eyes and said coquettishly, "Hubby, I like that stone too. Please take a picture of it and give it to me!"
"Ah!" Xing Deli frowned slightly. He was still thinking about how to get to know Sun Xiaoyan better, but Lu Siyu's words gave him an idea.
Since Sun Xiaoyan wants this stone, if I take a picture of it and give it to her, will there be a chance?
……
"Is this stone of the same quality as the stone from three years ago or seven years ago?"
Before Xing Deli could make any move, a middle-aged man in a gentleman's hat and a gray suit in the VIP seat raised his hand and asked a question.
The auctioneer nodded and said, "After our appraisal, it is indeed of high quality!"
After hearing this, the middle-aged man smiled and raised the number plate in his hand and said, "4 million!"
"Okay, this gentleman bids 4 million. Does anyone else have any bids?"
"5 million!"
"55 million!"
"6 million!"
After the middle-aged man made his bid, the VIP seats seemed to explode with people constantly holding up signs and announcing the latest prices, directly doubling the reserve price of 30 million for the meteorite.
This series of bids shocked some people in the audience who had no idea of the value of the meteorite and had been questioning it. Even Lu Siyu and Xing Deli were shocked.
The auctioneer had anticipated this situation and said calmly, "This gentleman has bid 6 million. Are there any other bidders?"
In the last wave of bidding, Sun Xiaoyan did not bid. She knew that things would not be so easy, but she did not expect so many people to bid against her.
But she had set a goal for herself, and she was determined to get this stone. So, she raised the sign in her hand, and the clear voice came again: "65 million!"
"Wow!"
As soon as Sun Xiaoyan's offer came out, there was an uproar at the scene. Many people felt that the price of 6 million Hong Kong dollars was already too much, and they didn't expect that there would be something even more outrageous.
After hearing Sun Xiaoyan's offer, the middle-aged man who made the offer after her turned his head and looked at Sun Xiaoyan deeply. Feeling the middle-aged man's gaze, Sun Xiaoyan nodded slightly and responded with a smile.
The middle-aged man's face twitched slightly as he held up the sign: "3 million!"
This offer was lower than Sun Xiaoyan's. Just when everyone was still silent, the middle-aged man calmly added another sentence, successfully silencing everyone's doubts.
"Beautiful knife!"
Everyone at the scene was shocked by the middle-aged man's words. There was silence for a while, and then, an explosive noise suddenly rose into the sky, and everyone was shocked and at a loss.
"3 million US dollars, my God! What kind of stone is this?"
"What's the current exchange rate for the Hong Kong dollar to the US dollar? 1 US dollar is equivalent to 7.785 Hong Kong dollars. So 3 million US dollars is..."
"Hiss! 2.3 million Hong Kong dollars!"
After this calculation and conversion of Hong Kong dollars, everyone present was shocked. The scene suddenly became quiet and everyone looked at the middle-aged man in shock.
Of course, many people also looked at Sun Xiaoyan, wondering whether the woman who had been bidding against this middle-aged man would continue to follow.
This move by the middle-aged man successfully raised the value of lot 123 and discouraged the interest of many people who had followed the auction. Many of them lowered their heads and made phone calls, as if they were discussing something with someone.
At this time, Sun Xiaoyan also frowned slightly, looking at the photo on the big screen, thinking in her heart that although she knew that this stone should have attracted a lot of people's attention, she didn't expect it to be so popular.
Before, she thought that 5 million would be the maximum, but she didn't expect that after just a few rounds of bidding, the price had reached 2 million. If she continued to follow, even if she won in the end, would her efforts be proportional to her gains?
In fact, if Qin Zhong were here, he would definitely tell her, girl, don’t be timid, money is nothing in front of this stone, even if you spend all your money to buy it, you will still make money.
But Sun Xiaoyan had no such experience, and she didn't know the value of this meteorite. She was now acting entirely on her own perception, and just felt that this stone seemed very important.
