Soon, it was the turn of the diamond "Star of Hope". Xiao Yunhai sat up straight and looked serious.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the next item is the Star of Hope that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Legend has it that it will bring good luck to anyone who wears it. "Ladies and gentlemen, it's time for you to show off your skills. The starting price is 300 million dollars, and each bid must be at least 10 million dollars higher. Let's begin. "
"350 million dollars."
"Okay, that gentleman bid 350 million dollars for his wife. Madam, don't you think you should kiss your husband now? "
Everyone laughed when they heard that.
Xiao Yunhai nodded secretly. This young auctioneer was really good.
After the lady had kissed her husband, another voice called out.
"I bid 360 million dollars."
"Okay, Mr. Number Five added 10 million. It's 360 million now."
Xiao Yunhai raised the number plate in his hand and said, "I bid 500 million dollars."
As soon as he said that, the whole place fell silent. Then everyone turned to look at Xiao Yunhai.
"Is this person Japanese, Korean, or Hua Xia? He's so rich. "
"That's the famous world-class director, Xiao, who is ranked 87th on the list of the world's richest people. Of course, he's rich."
"Is he the Xiao who just appeared in the World Monthly? He looks much younger than in the photo. "
"It took him three years to go from a poor student to a billionaire with a net worth of 170 billion dollars. Xiao is really amazing."
Everyone was talking about it. Some socialites even winked at Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai turned a blind eye to them. His eyes were fixed on the dazzling Star of Hope.
"Okay, Mr. Xiao is really good. He raised the price of this diamond to 500 million dollars. Is there anyone higher than him? Is there anyone more … "
"Five hundred and twenty million dollars."
Before the auctioneer could finish his words, a young voice interrupted him.
Xiao Yunhai looked in the direction of the voice and saw Thomas looking at him with a smug expression, as if to say, "Don't even think about getting this diamond so easily."
Xiao Yunhai knew that the other party was purely making trouble, so he smiled and deliberately put down the sign. He spread out his hands, indicating that he didn't want it anymore.
Thomas's expression changed. Although it was fleeting, it did not escape Xiao Yunhai's eyes.
Thomas only had some of Paramount's shares left. How could he take out 520 million USD?
The auctioneer said excitedly, "Mr. No. 18 bid 520 million USD. That's really generous of you. I believe that no matter who becomes your girlfriend, she will be extremely happy. Everyone, is there anyone higher than him? Is there anyone higher than him? "
The auctioneer asked three times in a row. With each question, Thomas's face turned uglier and uglier. He was so nervous that he was about to die.
He just saw that Xiao Yunhai seemed to be very interested in this diamond and wanted to make things difficult for him. Who knew that the other party would give up on it? 520 million USD for a diamond. How could Thomas remain calm?
Next to him, Andy's face was also gloomy.
The auctioneer found that no one said anything. He rolled his eyes and looked at Xiao Yunhai. "Mr. Xiao, are you really going to give up?"
The auctioneer knew Thomas. He knew that it was difficult for him to take out 100 million USD, let alone 520 million USD.
But as a professional auctioneer, he certainly couldn't say that you couldn't buy it if you didn't have the money. So he turned his attention to Xiao Yunhai, the tycoon.
Under everyone's gaze, Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "Hua Xia has an idiom called the beauty of helping others. Seeing that Mr. Thomas likes this diamond so much, by right, I should give it to him. But my wife seems to like it too, so I'm sorry. I'll add another 10 million USD. If Mr. Thomas wants to bid higher than this, then I'll give it up. "
"Great, Mr. Xiao bid 530 million USD. Is there anyone higher than this? "
Everyone looked at Thomas.
After hearing Xiao Yunhai add another 10 million USD, Thomas looked relieved. He didn't dare to raise the price anymore.
"530 million USD going once."
"530 million USD going twice."
"530 million USD going thrice."
"Bang."
The auctioneer's hammer fell and he said excitedly, "Congratulations, Mr. Xiao, for winning the Star of Hope with 530 million USD."
Everyone applauded.
Chris, who was at the side, clapped his hands while laughing beside Xiao Yunhai's ear: "I was right, wasn't I? There aren't many people who are willing to spend so much money to buy the Star of Hope for their wife. "
Xiao Yunhai was very happy to win the diamond. He said, "When Wan Qing sees it, I think she'll be very happy."
The Star of Hope was the first item of the finale. The second item was a Da Vinci oil painting. Xiao Yunhai didn't know anything about it, so he wasn't interested in bidding.
In the end, the 84-centimeter long and 50-centimeter wide oil painting was bought by a European tycoon for 320 million USD.
Finally, the finale, Marvel Comics, began the auction. Xiao Yunhai noticed that most of the people in front of him were sitting up straight. Kree's expression also became serious.
The auctioneer introduced, "The last item is not an item, but a company with great potential, Marvel Comics. It has the animation production ability no less than Disney. It has created countless popular superheroes, such as Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Thor, Captain America, and so on. I dare say that whoever obtains it will be equivalent to obtaining a huge treasure trove. The starting price is 8 billion USD, and each bid must be no less than 50 million. The bidding starts now. "
Kree raised his sign first and said, "10 billion USD."
"F * ck, you're too ruthless. You suddenly raised it to 10 billion," Xiao Yunhai scolded softly.
"Our MGM Grand is very interested in it. I have to get it no matter what. Xiao, give me some face. If no one else wants it, why don't you give it to me? "
Kree knew Xiao Yunhai very well and knew how crazy he was.
A "Lord of the Rings" that required an investment of more than two billion dollars, Xiao Yunhai did not even bat an eyelid and invested in it, not to mention Marvel Comics with unlimited potential.
Xiao Yunhai smiled noncommittally and said, "I hope you can last until the end."
Seeing that Xiao Yunhai didn't answer him directly, Kree immediately understood. Xiao Yunhai didn't want to give up. Although his expression didn't change, he felt a strong sense of threat in his heart.
"12 billion USD." Paramount's Angus raised the bid by another 2 billion USD.
Before the auctioneer could speak, another rich man raised his number plate.
"13 billion USD."
Kree didn't hesitate and shouted, "16 billion USD."
Today, the market value of Marvel Comics is 16 billion US dollars. When Kerry called out this price, everyone's face showed a cautious expression, and the rise of the price slowed down.
"16.2 billion."
"16.3 billion."
