Chapter 161: Grab the limelight (2/2)
Someone will continue to bid soon: ”260,000 dollars!”
”270,000!” Blake did not hesitate to follow up on the fare increase.
The other person thought for a moment, but before he spoke, someone on the other side of the hall quoted a new offer: ”275,000 dollars!”
Black calmly raised his sign and said faintly: ”$300,000!”
Another one-time price increase of 25,000, the auctioneer immediately recounted: ”Mr. Black has offered $300,000, is there any higher?”
Black stood up and said with an elegant smile on his face: ”Monica, this piece of truffle is as charming as you, I am determined to win it!”
Monica’s face always had a polite smile, and she didn’t respond to Black’s words, but Xia Ruofei could see that there was a trace of disgust in her eyes.
Black's markup has made the atmosphere in the venue even hotter, and the price is almost near the limit.
There is no clear price standard for this kind of rare truffle that can't be met.
In 2007, a 1.497 kg of white truffles shot $330,000, and a 14-year-old white truffle weighing 1.89 kg only shot $60, which is the largest white truffle ever discovered. Someone once offered $1 million. The acquisition was rejected, so the transaction price of $60,000 is not enough to explain the problem.
Today, this truffle weighs 1.45 kilograms, and this year is the high season of truffles, so it is reasonable to refer to the auction price in 2007.
Now Black's offer is approaching the price of the 1.49 kg white truffle.
Some entrepreneurs and top chefs who want to compete are also weighing.
Not that they can't afford the money, but the rich will not be willing to be a big man.
”30 million US dollars!” Finally, someone has proposed a higher offer.
The smile on Black's face was a stagnation, but he also knew that he couldn't hesitate at the moment and immediately followed up with the offer: ”$310,000!”
It is also a psychological strategy to raise the price without hesitation after the other party's offer, showing the momentum that they are determined to win.
Sure enough, when Black’s offer came out, the other shrugged and sat down, apparently not ready to compete.
After several rounds of inquiries by the auctioneer, they finally started counting down. In fact, this price has exceeded their psychological expectations.
”The first $310,000!”
......
”The third time for $310,000!”
At this moment, Ma Xiong, who was next to Xia Ruofei, suddenly raised his brand and said without hesitation: ”$320,000!”
Xia Ruofei was shocked and quickly turned and whispered, ”Mr. Ma Lao, why are you...”
Ma Xiong knows that Xia Ruofei is about to auction a batch of white truffles, and he has seen the truffles with his own eyes. There is no doubt that Xia Ruofei’s batch of truffles is of higher quality, and the weight of the individual is generally larger than the truffles of the Grasso family auction. There is absolutely no need for the male to compete for this white truffle at such a high price.
Ma Xiong said with a smile: ”Xia Sheng, nothing, I just watch him unhappy...”
”Ah?” Xia Ruofei was even more surprised.
Ma Xiong’s gaze still looked at the white truffle on the front of the stage, with a hint of smile on his face: “Because this kid wants to grab a woman with Xia Sheng, I certainly can’t let him out of this limelight, hundreds of thousands of dollars. What counts.”
Xia Ruofei suddenly had a black line and was completely speechless...
