Happy Tycoon

Chapter 519: respect

The counting units of English and Chinese languages ​​are inconsistent. For every four digits in English and every five digits in Chinese, the name of the counting unit must be changed. This forms different representations of more than four digits.

In the English and Chinese language units of counting, one, ten, hundred, and thousand are the same, but in Chinese, there are two counting units of "ten thousand" and "billion", but English does not; in English, The only counting units after a thousand are (millions) and (billions).

And the "Maruhan Zhuo Demirin" mentioned by Yang Jing just now, written in English is "One-Hundred-", which means one hundred million, and the total is one hundred million!

In other words, after Harper Lawrence gritted his teeth and quoted a price of 50.1 million, Yang Jing did not hesitate to quote a price of "100 million US dollars".

With Yang Jing's faint sound, the audience immediately quieted down strangely again, and almost everyone was stunned by the number reported by Yang Jing.

If it is 20 or 30 years later, there will be a few auction items worth more than 100 million U.S. dollars. For example, the most expensive auction item in the world is the painting "When Will You Get Married" created by Gauguin while living in Tahiti in 1892. This painting was sold at an auction in February 2015. The sky-high price of 300 million US dollars.

However, even after 20 or 30 years, there are only five auction items that can exceed 100 million US dollars in the world, except for the representative work of the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti, The Walking Man, which sold for 104.3 million US dollars. Besides, the other four works are all oil paintings.

And now is the 1980s. In this era, auction items worth more than 100 million US dollars have never appeared!

However, in this grand banquet hall of Meilong Manor, there was an auction price of "100 million US dollars" quietly, which was higher than that of the old dense charge formation in the early days of World War I. The British infantry encountered the German Maxim heavy machine gun even more surprising.

At that time, the British Army was still insisting on the old intensive charge of infantry. The Germans on the opposite side only raised the muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun by a foot. As a result, 50,000 British infantry were killed in one day. Off the battlefield.

And the figure of "100 million US dollars" that Yang Jing just reported, the lethality in this room is not much worse than that of the German Maxim heavy machine gun...

Bloomberg was already staying, he didn't even have the thought to persuade Yang Jing.

What to persuade? Bloomberg's current net worth is only more than 200 million U.S. dollars, but the man beside him throws out 100 million U.S. dollars in cash just like throwing a small stone!

The audience was silent for a full three seconds before there was a sound again.

But unlike the noisy buzzing when Yang Jing reported 50 million before, the sound was much smaller this time, and everyone's eyes were on Cole Smith.

Alfred Lowell sighed slightly in the distance, and walked out of the banquet hall under the pretext of turning around in the bathroom.

As for the other protagonist of the competition, the arrogant Mr. Harper Lawrence, like a bereaved concubine, stood there for a long time unable to speak.

Yang Jing shook his arm at the auctioneer who was also standing still on the stage, which attracted the auctioneer's attention. Immediately, the auctioneer was excited like that, and his voice trembling slightly said: "One hundred million! The first time!"

The auctioneer’s voice was loud enough, but Harper Lawrence was no longer able to wake up. He has been frightened by the $100 million price quoted by Mr. Cole Smith.

Everyone, including Harper Lawrence, has no doubt about Cole Smith’s determination to take down the broken box at this time. They even knew that they would just make such an offer for this guy, if Harper Lawrence If you continue to quote, the mysterious Cole Smith will definitely quote a price of 200 million yuan or even higher.

Although there is a saying in the United States called "If you have money, you are better than better?" But at this time, Cole Smith interprets the answer of this sentence vividly-I am rich, so My special is Niubi! I'm not convinced you bite me!

I care who you are, and if you dare to bid with Lao Tzu, then Lao Tzu will use the money to kill you alive!

Richer than Lao Tzu, tired of living?

"One hundred million! The second time!" The auctioneer's voice sounded again, and Harper Lawrence's face became paler. He raised his head and looked at Cole Smith, his lips moved twice, as if he wanted to continue the offer, but in the end he sighed heavily and dropped his head.

"One hundred million! The third time! Congratulations to Mr. Smith for getting this Luban box." Perhaps because of excitement, the auctioneer's voice has changed a little. It’s no wonder that this is the first 100 million-dollar auction item in human history, and this auction item was sold out of his hands. Just this is enough to make him occupy the ranks of auctioneers. A very important position.

Perhaps in the next ten or even fifteen years, he will maintain the title of "100 million yuan auctioneer" alone! This is an honor that can't be exchanged for how many white gloves are used!

As the small hammer in the hands of the auctioneer fell heavily on the table, Harper Lawrence lifted his head down, silently glanced at the man competing with him, and walked out of the banquet hall bitterly.

At this time, no one pays attention to Harper Lawrence. In this battle without gunpowder, Lawrence has completely lost.

Yang Jing walked up with a smile. Old Paul greeted him, said "thank you" in a low voice, and then shook Yang Jing's hand.

After shook hands with the Mellon family, Yang Jing picked up the half of the Luban box again, took a deep look at the box, put down the box, and then took out the check from the suit pocket. Ben said with a smile: "Richard, I'm sorry, I haven't processed your checkbook at Mellon National Bank, so I can only use Citibank's checkbook."

Skave laughed and said, "Cole, in a moment you will receive a credit card specially prepared by Mellon National Bank for you. It is our highest-level credit card at Mellon National Bank. I hope you like it. "

"Oh? Thank you then!" Yang Jing replied with a smile while writing the numbers.

Old Paul whispered: "Cole, you can write one hundred and twenty thousand dollars. One hundred million dollars is not counted."

Skeff also said: "Cole, Uncle Paul is right, just listen to Uncle Paul. This box is not worth a hundred million dollars, and you just helped our family a big favor. Anyway, None of us can charge you so much money."

Hearing this, Yang Jing froze for a while, then shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: "There is no need. Since I have quoted this price, I have to pay this number as usual. Don't worry, I won't be short of it. This little money."

With that said, Yang Jing happily signed the number and his name on the checkbook, then tore off the cash check and handed it to Skeff.

Skeff was a little at a loss. He really didn't want to accept this check, but seeing Yang Jing's expression firm, he finally took it with a sigh.

Seeing that Skeff had accepted the check, Yang Jing was also relieved. In fact, there was a sentence he didn't say just now-the box itself is worth more than this little money!

It’s not that Yang Jing was going to be taken advantage of, he had to give the Mellon family more than 90 million US dollars. It was indeed that when Yang Jing picked up the Luban box again just now, he subconsciously used the perspective skills again, and it turned out to be vaguely in the silk silk. I saw the word "response" in running script, which confirmed the conjecture just now.

If that conjecture is true, then don't say 100 million US dollars, even if it is 1 billion US dollars, Yang Jing is willing to pay for it.

And if the box really contains clues related to that speculation, then buying this box for 100 million dollars is a kind of respect for this box and the person who made it.

That baby is absolutely invaluable to Huaxia people. If 100 million US dollars can buy a clue about that baby, it will also be worth it. And if the contents of the box were really clues to that baby, Yang Jing would be willing to pay double or even five times the price!

Because that baby should have such a high value. Although Yang Jing is already holding a foreign passport, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com But what flows in his bones is the blood of the descendants of Yan and Huang, in his eyes, that treasure cannot be replaced by any amount of money.

In fact, if Lawrence didn't bid, Yang Jing would have taken the box as well. This must be arranged by God.

But since Lawrence has bid, it means that God doesn't let himself get this thing too easily. Isn't it money? Just bidding.

One hundred million dollars to buy a clue is just out of respect for that baby. And Yang Jing felt that he should do the same. As for helping the Mellon family, it was just a matter of convenience. Since I saw this box today, Yang Jing would never allow this box to fall into the hands of others.

Old Paul also sighed, but then smiled and asked in a low voice: "Cole, did you recognize the origin of this box?"

Yang Jing put the checkbook in the pocket of his suit and shook his head and said, "How is it possible? I just think this box is very right, plus that Lawrence is so irritating, so I plan to teach that guy a lesson. Besides, shouldn’t the Boston Consortium also learn some lessons?"

With that said, Yang Jing turned to look at Skeff, and then whispered: "Compared to today's auction, I actually look forward to a deeper cooperation between our KY investment fund and the Mellon family next year. Richard, with me In the plan, I plan to acquire several banks on the East Coast next year. The initial plans are Hartford National Corporation and Arlington Trust. How about it, are you interested?"

Hearing this, several members of the Mellon family looked at each other, and smiles appeared on their faces.

PS: I would like to thank "There is a dream that can not be realized" and "Xiaolou alone listening to the rain at night" for their rewards of 1,000.
