Chapter 758: Perfect ending (2/2)
”$230,000!”
......
Lu Zhongguang’s voice just fell, and the quotation sounded one after another, and he even had no time to repeat the price.
This truffle auction, everyone's reaction was more active than when it first appeared, and quickly broke through the last ”normal price” of the previous auction, then called for 210,000 US dollars, and then with Black's move The price becomes extremely unreasonable.
On the one hand, this is the last piece of truffle, and compared with those more than two kilograms of truffles, the threshold is much lower, so buyers who have not harvested before have also bid.
On the other hand, this truffle auction is charitable. The last buyer is also contributing to charity, and it is newsable. The purchasing enthusiasm of everyone is naturally very different.
Finally, this piece of white truffle was sold at a price of $320,000, which is far beyond the actual value.
It was the Romanian rich Nikolay who had previously participated in the finale truffle auction.
Nikolay could have said nothing before. This truffle is only 1.12 kilograms, but it can be photographed and talked about, so it is not empty-handed.
Moreover, he was able to win a good reputation for charity, so Nikolay was very happy after the auction was successful, and he also stood up and expressed his gratitude to those who congratulated him.
The auction will end perfectly! In addition to the white truffles that contributed to Hong Kong Island's charity, the total price of all truffles reached $17.644 million.
Xia Ruofei insisted on paying auctions according to the market, including 10% commission, 3% withholding tax, and 1% of insurance and catalogues. Miscellaneous expenses, Xia Ruofei's net income exceeded 15 million US dollars.
The next delivery of the auction and some other finishing work, Xia Ruofei does not have to personally participate, Feng Xiao team and Hengfeng auction team's team will naturally be properly handled.
Xia Ruofei followed Ma Xiong to the lounge next to the auction venue. Although he wanted to stay with Monica, the scene was full of people, and Ma Xiong would like to introduce him to some celebrities on Hong Kong Island, so he can only use Eyes and Monica gestured, and then left the auction hall.
At noon, Ma Xiong will host a banquet for his old friends at the Hengfeng Jiahua Hotel. It is not yet lunch time, so everyone is arranged in this lounge.
When Ma Xiong led Xia Ruofei into the door, there were already many people chatting in the lounge with red wine glasses.
”Mr. Ma, Mr. Xia, the two are both fame and fortune today!”
“Congratulations! The auction was very successful!”
”It’s a hero who is a teenager! Xia Sheng makes us very admired by these elderly people!”
Many people greeted them enthusiastically.
Ma Xiong also gave a brief introduction to Xia Ruofei.
Today, the Hong Kong Island real estate king Guo Hongjiang and Dafuhao Zheng Jianian are all very active at the auction. They are all present at this level of wealthy people. There are naturally people who do the following things.
Guo Hongjiang, Zheng Jianian and others are also very enthusiastic about Xia Ruofei.
Especially Mr. Zheng Lao, he held Xia Ruofei's hands and said: ”Xia Sheng, today you are giving us Chinese people a long face! Those foreign devils see the Chinese people's best truffles, all of them are like seeing ghosts!”
”You are too big!” Xia Ruofei is a polite way.
”Ha ha ha!” Guo Hongjiang also smiled openly. ”I wanted to come to the last abalone auction. Unfortunately, the company did not care about this little thing! Fortunately, I didn't miss this truffle auction!”
Ma Xiong joked on the side: ”Guo Dong, you haven't missed it? The biggest white truffle on the finale has been pocketed by you, even I am jealous!”
Guo Hongjiang glanced at Ma Xiong and said: ”Ma Dong, you have a good relationship with Mr. Xia. Do you want to **** with us at the auction?”
Ma Xiong haha laughed: ”Who is good for truffles?”
”Well, you are a young man! When you are young, you are so greedy!” Guo Hongjiang smiled.
Xia Ruofei can see that the personal relationship between the real estate king and Ma Xiong is also very good. The tone of the two people is very casual. It is a long-time friend.
Ma Xiong smiled and said to Xia Ruofei: ”Xia Sheng, you can get close to Guo Dong. He is not only a big man in the Hong Kong Island industry, but also a director of the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club! He speaks more on Hong Kong Island than I do.” It!”
Xia Ruofei can't help but feel a little moved.
The Hong Kong Island Jockey Club is one of the largest speed horse competition operators in the world. It is also the legally-operated Ma Cai agency approved by the SAR Government. The entire Jockey Club is run by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors consists of 12 directors. The directors are very prestigious celebrities on Hong Kong Island. Although this is a compulsory position and there is no remuneration, it is a manifestation of social status on Hong Kong Island.
Guo Hongjiang smiled slightly: ”If Mr. Xia likes horse racing, we can communicate more...”
”I don't know much about horse racing.” Xia Ruofei said half-jokingly.
Ma Xiong said with a smile: ”Guo Dong, although Xia Sheng is not particularly acquainted with horse racing, but if the horse has any health problems, he may be able to help a lot!”
Guo Hongjiang raised his eyebrows and said: ”Oh? Xiasheng has a feeling for raising horses?”
Ma Xiong haha laughed: ”I don't know if Xia Shengyang has raised a horse. But his medical skills are too high-spirited. It can be said that it is superb! I think the general horse health problem is absolutely unbearable. !”
Xia Ruofei and Guo Hongjiang showed a bitter smile.
”Ma Dong, how are you going to seduce me?” Guo Hongjiang said with anger.
Xia Ruofei also smiled bitterly: ”Mr. Ma Lao, I am studying Chinese medicine, not a veterinarian...”
