...

Finally at the last moment, Mike Barger sang all night, and his voice was even more passionate at this time, "Gentlemen and ladies, next, the last auction of this auction will be carried out, first let me introduce this auction treasure items."

"This is all the treasures of a great pirate who once ruled the Caribbean—"

"One winter at the end of the 17th century, a nobleman named Eric Watt-Barbosa encountered the biggest setback in his life. He was a nobleman and a dwarf. He was bullied since he was a child, but he was very smart and studious... ..."

A set of videos was played on the big screen, it was Chen Ergou who was flipping through the contents of the two golden books.

Slowly tell a legendary hero story that has been hidden for hundreds of years.

"After the death of old Barbosa, his title and fief were endlessly deprived of his title. With nowhere to go, Barbosa decided to go down to the sea and become a pirate. This decision made him walk out of the most wonderful legendary life..."

Through Mike's mouth, a story about the sea is told, which adds mystery to this treasure.

"Everyone, please look at the screen: the Barbosa in front of you is one of the most legendary sailing ships in history, and this Spanish galleon has a legendary experience. The seas are unimpeded. She was once a warship of the French fleet, and was once the flagship of a pirate chief. She has experienced countless battles and enjoyed a good reputation in the Caribbean Sea for a certain period of time."

"And the most rare thing is that no matter the cannon, the mast or even the wine barrel on this galleon, they are all well preserved, which is very valuable for research and collection." Some of the treasures can only be stared blankly.

"In this ship, there are also artistic paintings from France, gold and silver coins from Spain, gold, diamonds from Africa, gems and pearls from South America...every object has a certain story hidden. These stories have passed through the years It becomes more mellow, and the content is engraved in every treasure, maybe it is a family heirloom, maybe it is a rare treasure."

"Gold is never ashamed!"

"No one can resist their temptation, no matter who their former owners are, they will add their own feelings to these treasures because of this irresistible temptation, and it will be expressed in ordinary and trivial life, perhaps from a casual If you wipe it, it will condense into traces of history!"

"And now, they lie dormant for hundreds of years,

Finally a new owner is coming. "

Groups of videos were played, more than ten tons of gold and silver treasures, huge gold. It is also specially divided into gold and silver coins, gold and silver hollow lamps, silver tableware, exquisite porcelain, gemstones, armor, jewelry, necklaces, diamond-encrusted crowns, gold statues, art treasures, antique daily necessities, etc.!

"The reserve price of this treasure auction is 260 million US dollars."

"... Each increase cannot be less than $500,000, please bid now."

The starting price of this treasure is set at 260 million US dollars, which is already a very low price.

Regardless of the price of the treasure, the price of gold alone makes it extremely attractive.

Originally, the price of the item might have exceeded 300 million, but after drawing out many treasures, there were also art treasures that were pre-heated in the separate auction in the early stage, which reduced the price of the final treasure.

Even so, the professional appraisal company's evaluation of the value of this treasure is still between 280 million and 300 million.

Whether the seller is a museum, an investment institution, or an individual collector, they will refer to the evaluation price given by the evaluation company based on their own actual situation, and weigh the highest auction price they can accept in their hearts.

If you surpass this guy, you will hesitate.

In the end, whether he had no choice but to give up, or gritted his teeth and followed up, was also a matter of thought.

And Sotheby's will also collect information from potential buyers according to its own situation, and analyze which auction items will be more sought after. Estimate a reasonable auction price by yourself, so that the auctioneer can try to get the maximum value during the auction.

The reason for setting this low price is also to mobilize the auction enthusiasm of the bidders, to lure the participants to make a lot of money, and finally participate in the auction game.

In this way, the client, Chen Ergou, can be guaranteed to the greatest extent possible to obtain benefits, so as not to fail the auction. After all, this is also a record-setting single-price auction item received by Sotheby's.

Mike Barger shouted on the stage, "260 million, 260 million US dollars, is there any asking price? The only huge pirate treasure in the world has an estimated value of more than 300 million, and the current reserve price is only 200 million 600 million. Tens of millions of dollars, is there any asking price?"

After a full tens of seconds of silence, the audience was suffocated like death. No matter how the atmosphere was mobilized by Mike Barger on the stage, they were just whispering and discussing non-stop, and no one raised their cards.

Chen Ergou was also very surprised, this kind of price is not even asking price?

These are real gold!

Just when Chen Ergou was feeling uneasy, a voice finally broke the silence of the audience.

"261 million." Juan Fernandez, the manager of the Spanish Royal Museum, first raised the placard, and they wanted to take the Spanish galleon and a huge amount of Spanish gold and silver coins back to the country.

Pay homage to those martyrs who died at sea, and give an account to the people.

However, this bid completely ignited the enthusiasm of the auction house tonight.

"262 million! This gentleman bid 262 million US dollars. Is there any higher bid?"

"263 million...264 million...265 million...268 million...269 million..."

"270 million!" A high-pitched voice came from a representative of the Louvre in France.

"This lady offered 270 million, is there any higher price?"

"Huh~~" Several models couldn't help patting their chests, it was too intense. "Could it be that so many dollars are just numbers in their eyes?"

"Who will get the huge pirate treasure in the end, and will anyone offer a higher price?"

McBarger did his best to push the atmosphere of the audience to a climax with body language and contagious tone of voice. He knew in his heart that the amount of this auction would surely make a mark in Sotheby's and even the auction history of the world, and as the master auctioneer of this grand auction, he himself would follow along to the top, how Can you work hard?

However, no one expected that the last auction lasted much longer than expected.

At 280 million, there was another suffocating silence for more than a minute. This price is naturally not at the psychological price.

But if the hammer is dropped now, it can be dropped, but the price of the item has not been auctioned. He also kept procrastinating with words, so that the auction would not be embarrassing. Just when McBagg could no longer hold on, and was about to hit the hammer, someone finally raised his card again.

"281 million~!"

It's the British Museum in London, a new entrant.

The Spaniards and Frenchmen, who were already "fighting", turned their heads and looked sideways at the Londoners.

A new round of bidding began, and every time the card was raised, it caused McBagg to shout one after another.

Huge sums were shouted out one by one, leaving the audience dumbfounded.

When the amount climbed irresistibly to 290 million again, the auction site came to a standstill again. This stagnation lasted for more than forty seconds, and McBarger was satisfied, 290 million was within the range of his heart, and he thought that when the dust settled, the hammer would drop.

I didn’t expect to join a new force again in a dramatic way. Seeing the group of Dubai visitors wearing white scarves and hats, the several groups who were competing were shocked, “What are these Middle Easterners going to do?”

After raising the cards again and again, the total price climbed up bit by bit, and as time passed, it finally touched the peak amount.

"300 million dollars!"

Spanish Royal Museum experience Juan Fernandez held up the sign high, even stood up and yelled loudly, looking like he was screaming, full of offensive power, and a posture that was bound to win.

His purpose is very clear, it is to calm other competitors and show that he is bound to win.

The price of 300 million yuan is already the limit of the value of this treasure, and it is infinitely close to the bottom line of the buyer's psychological tolerance.

It's a pity that the Spanish Museum still lacks courage. If they dared to call 10 million more when it was 280 million, they might have won already. Now the price added here bit by bit, can't suppress the rich and powerful Middle Eastern people, "301 million U.S. dollars."

"Pfft~"

Juan wished he could spit out a mouthful of old blood, and sat down on the chair.

"Do you want to increase the price?" the assistant asked him.

The Middle Easterners were too ruthless, and this move directly grabbed the focus of the audience.

Juan gritted his teeth in his heart, he had already increased the price to this level, how could he be reconciled if he didn't argue, he had no choice but to continue to raise the placard.

The price climbed up again, which is really twists and turns.

Even if the audience is watching the show, they still feel that this is a wonderful show. Many people are silent, and more people are envious. Now is the stage for these few, and all the guests are enjoying their performance.

Juan quickly discussed with his companions, and someone suggested: "If you boil the frogs in such warm water, you will definitely not be able to overwhelm your opponents, so why don't you simply reveal the bottom price in your heart and see if the Middle Easterners will continue to follow?"

Juan agreed, and they had to bring back the treasure, but if they didn't bring it back after trying their best, don't blame him, "310 million U.S. dollars, 310 million U.S. dollars!"

With a posture determined to win, Juan stood up again to steal the auctioneer's limelight.

This situation seems familiar, didn't he just yelled a while ago.

After a bout of vigorous efforts, he declined again, but this time he was not as powerful as last time. I failed to calm my opponent last time, will it work this time?

The scene was silent for a few seconds, everyone was whispering and discussing, many people were still gasping, with uncontrollable envy in their eyes. Seeing this posture, Juan finally breathed a sigh of relief, is the dust settling?

However, at this moment, a slow voice suddenly sounded, "315 million US dollars!"

The Middle Easterners raised their cards again.

Juan sat down decadently, "It failed."

McBag knew that he was finally reaching his limit. His voice, which had been high all night, was inevitably hoarse, and at the last moment, there was a broken sound. But no one laughed at him, everyone was shocked by this set of numbers.

"$315 million, one time!"

"$315 million, twice! Any more bids?"

"315 million US dollars, three times, deal!"

"Bang~! Bang~! Bang~!" The auction hammer fell heavily on the case and rang three times, announcing that Maktoum Ahmad, the investment group from the Emirates of Dubai, had won the auction of the treasure of Barbosa!

"Papa papa~~"

The auction, which lasted for more than an hour, finally came to an end.

There was a warm applause from the audience, which is a congratulations to the buyers. 315 million U.S. dollars, plus the previous item auction proceeds, 185 million U.S. dollars, a total turnover of 500 million U.S. dollars was generated tonight.

It directly set a record for the annual auction transaction, and at the same time, the last treasure is also the single item price with the largest transaction in history.

At this moment, even Principal Wang who was in the audience couldn't help being jealous of Chen Ergoulai, who really reached the sky in one step!

"Gentlemen and ladies, this special auction has come to a successful conclusion. The consignor of the auction, Mr. Adventurer Hero-, has already held a dinner party in the lobby on the third floor of the hotel. Welcome everyone."

As the music sounded, countless people walked towards the third floor, still unsatisfied.

They were too tense just now, and they urgently need to relax, not to mention that this is a party hosted by the client.

"Mr. Chen, congratulations, the new 500 millionaire!"

"Thanks to you, and congratulations to you, Mr. Maktoum, this treasure is worth the money." Chen Ergou said: "May I ask, what will you do with this treasure?"

Maktoum Ahmed said with a smile: "This is the investment company of His Royal Highness the Prince. It will be included in the Emirates Museum in Dubai and will be admired by nationals and even tourists from all over the world. If it is appropriate, when the museum opens, we would like to invite You who discovered the treasure, come to the scene to be a witness in person?"

"No problem!" Chen Ergou agreed without hesitation, there is no better ending than this.
