Chapter 137 Extreme luxury (five thousand words kneeling)(1/2)

Zeus Auction House is one of the top ten auction houses in the world.

This is an auction house with a historical heritage of more than 130 years. It is headquartered in the UK. It has set up hundreds of branches around the world, including branches in the Magic City, and has repeatedly set auction records in recent years.

In early July, on a sunny evening, Chu Mo, wearing a light brown suit, appeared in front of the auction house accompanied by two bodyguards two meters tall.

He was originally tall and had regular life and exercise in the past two months, which made his thin body more and more symmetrical. If he took off his suit, he would find that his abdomen had six not so prominent bulges.

Chu Mo is more introverted and has a tendency to be calm. His experience in the past two months and the respect of the servant butler has made his temperament more restrained.

In front of the Zeus Auction House, luxury cars were parked neatly. It seemed like a large auto show, and there were almost no cars less than one million.

When he walked down from the Rolls-Royce Phantom, Chu Mo, who was handsome and calm in temperament, still gained a lot of attention. Of course, most of them were noble ladies and socialites.

As the evening approached, the auction house had already lit up the lights. The originally slightly dim sky was illuminated by the bright lights of Zeus Auction House. Accompanied by two bodyguards behind him, Chu Mo slowly walked up the steps.

There was a receptionist at the door. Jiang Tao behind him handed over the invitation letter. After the waiter tested, he respectfully invited the three of them into the door.

Following the abortion, he walked slowly up the marble spiral ladder, while walking, Chu Mo was also quietly listening to the whispers of others.

This time, many people went to the auction house not for antique calligraphy and paintings, but for a land covering an area of ​​90,000 square meters. This land is located in the suburbs of the Magic City, not far from the famous Magic City Stadium. Whether it is to build a residential area or a commercial area, it is enough, and the development prospects are huge.

Of course, the reason why Chu Mo appeared here was not to get a piece of land.

He has no interest in the real estate industry, and the reason why he appears here is entirely for one person.

Chairman of Shangyuan International Film Company, Ren Wenxuan will appear here tonight.

Shangyuan Film Company is the largest entertainment company in the entertainment industry in China. Its market value is 180 billion yuan, more than three times that of Zhou Jiatianhua Entertainment. Among the four kings of China, two of them are from Shangyuan Film Company, and there are as many as 39 superstars.

After injecting 50 billion yuan into Shiyuan Entertainment, Chu Mo has stopped the cooperation between Zhou Jiatianhua Entertainment. Now he is looking for new partners. Shangyuan Entertainment, the number one overlord of the Chinese entertainment industry, is Chu Mo’s current goal.

Today's auction is arranged in the largest auction hall, which can accommodate thousands of people. The 90,000 square meters of land is the finale of today's auction, and there will also be some other popular commodity auctions. From the perspective of publicity, the scale of this auction house is huge.

Jiang Tao is naturally responsible for paying a deposit. Chu Mo just registered his name and entered the venue to find his seat.

If Chu Mo showed his true identity, the boss behind the Bafang International Hotel Chain or the investor of Shiyuan Entertainment would be enough to pay attention to the organizer, but he did not want to attract too much attention, so he did not attend these identities, and the seats arranged were relatively backward.

He didn't care about this, and after finding a position to lean against the side in the designated area, he sat down quietly.

There is still some time to start the auction, but the hall is already full of people. You can see many real estate tycoons here. After all, the highlight of this auction is land. Of course, there is also a shortage of top-notch Hubei in other industries.

The entire hall accommodates thousands of people, but there are not many who are truly in power. There are many rich second-generation and third-generation rich people joining in the hall. Although these people are of extraordinary value and belong to the absolute upper class, they have limited assets to master, and they can only stare at those auction items that cost millions and tens of millions of yuan.

In addition, there are also some people invited by the rich to join in the fun, and there are many people in the entire venue that can actually participate in the auction.

The auction hall is a microcosm of a large social dyeing vat. Even here, everyone is still divided into different levels.

The higher the front, the more extraordinary the identity is. There are almost no unknown people in the front row, either real estate or commercial giants. The later, the more ordinary the identity is. If they are arranged in the last row, their identity and status are naturally the lowest.

Chu Mo looked at it casually and quickly found his target in the front row.

Ren Wenxuan, chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, is a man in his early fifties, slightly fat but extraordinary in appearance.

After a few casual glances, Chu Mo withdrew his gaze.

Time passed slowly, and the auction officially began at about 7 o'clock in the evening.

The originally bright lights in the hall gradually dimmed, and the lights on the auction table gradually became bright. When everyone's eyes were focused on the auction table, a middle-aged man in a blue suit strode onto the stage.

He came to the stage, bowed slightly under everyone's gaze, and then said with a voice like rainbow:

"Welcome to Zeus Auction House. I am the chief auctioneer Zhang Feng. I announce that the auction will officially begin."

"Now I'm invited to bid for the first item..."

The lady wearing a cheongsam, with a graceful figure and a beautiful face presented her first collection.

The middle-aged auctioneer immediately introduced:

"This is a collection that a British friend asked to auction, blue and white porcelain. This bottle has a straight mouth and a round lips, long diameter, bulging in the middle of the neck, flat belly, and outwardly stroked legs. Its body is hard and the body is delicate... It has great collection value.

Our low price is 400,000 yuan, and each increase is no less than 4,000 yuan.

Now, the auction begins!”

What the etiquette lady holds is blue and white porcelain stored in a glass container. The light above her head illuminates the porcelain, and the whole piece of blue and white porcelain looks transparent and dazzling, and is extremely eye-catching.

The auctioneer's words fell and the auction began, and the whole hall began to roar with each other.

"Forty-one thousand!"

"Forty-five thousand!"

"Forty-five-four thousand!"

...

The first product at the beginning was just a warm-up, and the bidders were all from the back row. Most of the people here were young rich second generations and people who joined in the fun.

As for the top-level large jaws in the front row, few people bid for a lot worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

The price of blue and white porcelain of 400,000 yuan was bidding all the way. When someone increased to 630,000 yuan, the originally lively scene was quiet, and those who were purely joining in the fun no longer dared to increase the price.

In the end, the blue and white porcelain was captured by a young man in his thirties for 634,000 yuan.

Chu Mo, who was quietly sitting in the back row, looked at everything in front of him with a calm expression. He did not take action at once, but was just observing quietly.

With the successful auction of the first collection, the atmosphere in the entire hall began to be heated up.

After that, collections were continuously taken out one after another, and the preciousness and price were also increasing one after another. When a blue and white pomegranate flower pot worth one million appeared on the booth, the rear row of the hall, which had originally raised and fluctuated prices, gradually became quiet, and a few people in the front row finally took action one after another. When the auction price reached two million, no one in the back row made a statement.

Soon, most of the auction process passed.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the next collection is a treasure commissioned by an overseas Chinese. It is priceless and can be said to be a rare treasure. Let us see this collection."

This is a piece of ceramic from the Northern Song Dynasty...

Our professional appraisers have identified that its low price is 20 million, and each bid cannot be less than one million.

Start bidding now.”

Different from the previous ups and downs, when the auction price reaches a terrifying 20 million, not to mention the collective voice of the rear row, even the real big ears in the front row are extremely cautious.

After all, tens of millions of luxury goods may even drag down a billionaire without sufficient liquidity.

This is the first time that more than ten million collections appeared at the auction, and the price increased to 20 million at once. The entire hall was silent for the first time.

The auctioneer on the stage was not in a hurry, but waited quietly.

In just a few breaths, at the front row, a middle-aged man with extraordinary air conditioning raised his sign for the first time.

"Two one million."

Ren Wenxuan, chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, is also Chu Mo’s target this time.

After the other party bid, it seemed like a signal, and the originally quiet hall was once again broken by the sound of price increase.

"Two two million!"

This time I bid for an acquaintance, Lin Hongqiang, Meibao Group.

In order to acquire Bafang International, Lin Hongqiang once bought himself the Green Estate Avenue villa and a Yuan blue and white porcelain worth 100 million yuan.

A month ago, he acquired all the shares of Bafang International from the four bigwigs at a premium of 30%. Several of them made a fortune, including Sun Shangwu and Lin Hongqiang, and they also had sufficient working capital.

Lin Hongqiang likes antiques, which can be seen from the fact that he spent hundreds of millions to purchase Yuan blue and white porcelain. Now that he has sufficient funds, he will naturally take action if he encounters antiques he is interested in.

Someone also increased the price in the middle, but it was quickly suppressed by Ren Wenxuan, and eventually became a battle between Ren Wenxuan, chairman of Shangyuan Entertainment, and Lin Hongqiang, chairman of Meibao Group.

The second generation in the back row had no room for intervention for 20 million antiques, and most of the big guys in the front row came for the finale, and no one was willing to distribute their funds for an antique.

After several rounds of bidding, when Ren Wenxuan, who was at the Garden Entertainment, raised the price to 26 million, Lin Hongqiang, who shook his head slightly, stopped raising the price.

Although he likes things, there is no need to exceed the price of things.

A big man who has reached their level naturally cannot really tear his face for an antique.

The auctioneer on the stage naturally knew that this was already the top price. The only competitor Lin Hongqiang gave up, and the others basically would not make trouble again. When the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer, the back row of the hall, near the wall, a calm voice of a young man slowly rang out.

"Thirty million."

Chu Mo's voice was not loud, but because he was too far behind, almost in an instant, everyone's eyes were all focused on him.

And everyone's eyes were filled with a look of surprise and curiosity.

If Chu Mo was the boss in the front row and paid 30 million, others would finally think that this was the boss's world. They didn't understand, but Chu Mo was sitting in the back row and was very young...

Which rich family is so rampant?

Buy something worth tens of millions of dollars?

Chu Mo instantly increased the price of 26 million to 30 million, which was much higher than the price increase of 1 million for several previous big shots.

Not only the back row, but also the top-level big jaws in the front row set their sights on Chu Mo.

And when they saw Chu Mo's young face, everyone looked slightly frowning.

Of course, Lin Hongqiang will definitely not be included in this.

"Thirty million times per time, is there anyone still price?

Thirty million times…”

The auctioneer turned his attention to Ren Wenxuan, chairman of Shangyuan. Seeing that the other party was unmoved, he knew that the price should be the final price.
