Chapter 161: Grab the limelight

Just as a calm bomb was thrown into a bomb, there was a bang in the venue, and the sound of various languages ​​rang at the same time.
"Oh God! There are actually 1.45 kg..."
"Did I hear it wrong?"
"God... it’s a miracle!"
"I swear, this is probably the biggest truffle I have ever seen in my life..."
......
The auctioneer was also very experienced and always stood on the stage with a professional smile. Until everyone’s arguments grew smaller, he continued:
This truffle was discovered 18 hours ago in the Alba region of Italy. Just caught up with the plane to China, so this is actually temporarily added to the auction!"
After that, the auctioneer gestured. A courtesy lady in cheongsam took a large tray and went to the stage. She placed the tray on the display stand in the middle of the stage, and then the auctioneer walked over and covered it. The red silk is ripped off, and this huge truffle also reveals its true colors.
All the eyes, including Xia Ruofei, gathered together and saw a volleyball-sized white truffle in a sealed container. This huge truffle was very visually striking under the spotlight.
The auctioneer continued to open the transparent cover.
Suddenly, the hall was filled with the smell of truffles. This special fragrance seemed to be a lot richer at once.
The reputation of the Grasso family is unquestionable, and this is undoubtedly a piece of white truffle.
Even Ma Xiong can't help but move slightly.
The auctioneer smiled and said: "This year's largest white truffle, starting price of 100,000 US dollars, each increase of not less than 5,000 US dollars, the following interested friends can bid!"
This grade of the best white truffles, obviously can not be measured by the average price of the market, the starting price of 100,000 US dollars seems to be very expensive, but almost no one present will take this money seriously.
This is the biggest white truffle of the year, and this name is worth the price.
So almost the auctioneer’s voice just fell, and some people listed the price to report the price.
"$110,000!"
"The 59th friend is bidding $110,000!" the auctioneer said quickly.
"115,000!"
"125,000!"
"13 million!"
The bidding sounds one after another, and the auctioneer has no time to repeat the quote, and soon the new offer will come out.
The price went up and soon broke through 200,000 US dollars.
Many people have turned their eyes to Ma Xiong. I feel that such a big piece of the best truffles should always be Ma Xiong’s eyes. And this is also the finale of today's finale. If you don't shoot again, it is just a shot of soy sauce.
However, Ma Xiong still sat firmly on the seat, and there was no intention to bid.
At this time, a voice rang from the seat on the right side of the third row: "$250,000!"
Xia Ruofei heard this voice seem familiar, couldn't help but turn his head and follow the sound, suddenly revealing a strange smile.
It turned out that this price raised the price of 50,000 US dollars at a time. It was the black that competed with Xia Ruofei in the gym in the morning, and then directly ran away from it.
Black's bid made the price increase sounds suddenly stop, and a one-time price increase of 50,000 US dollars, still a little shocking.

Mr. Black’s bid is $250,000!
The auctioneer took the opportunity to repeat the quote from Black.
Obviously, the $250,000 is still far from the psychological price of many people, so the bidding is only slightly paused.
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...
