Chapter 345: Hot auction

"Ten billion?" Huang Yueling's eyes widened, "Are you kidding me?"
Zhang Jun smiled and said, "I and the owner of Tianxing Auction Company are good friends, and I don't need to pay this tens of billions."
The next day, the largest and most luxurious charity auction event in history began. This auction conference, jointly organized by the Heiner Museum and Tianxing Auction Company, will eventually have 200 precious artworks for auction.
The auction meeting was held at the Hong Kong Stadium. Due to a large number of advertisements in the early stage, many people came to participate in the auction. In addition, this is a charity auction. Participating in it can enhance your positive image, and celebrities will naturally flock to it.
On the back row of seats in the gymnasium, Zhang Jun and the three women were sitting there. The three women looked a little nervous, Zhu Binglan said: "Brother Fugui, if you take a photo of 10 billion things, and your friend insists on you to pay, are you miserable?"
Zhang Jun blinked and said, "Behind you are the three big families of Yundong. The rich are very rich. You can lend me a little."
The three women smiled bitterly at each other, and Zhu Binglan said: "You think it's one million! That's ten billion. The Wen family's working capital is not ten billion, so where can you borrow it."
Zhang Jun laughed and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
There are more and more people in the stadium. These people are either rich or expensive, sitting in their seats in an orderly manner. Not long after, a popular host of a TV station stepped up to the high stage and announced: "Welcome to participate in this charity auction. This event is jointly organized by the Heiner Museum and Tianxing International Auction Company. All proceeds from this auction will be remitted. Enter the Tianxing Charity Fund to promote charitable causes! Now I invite the president of Heiner Museum, Ms. Guo Lan, to speak!"
Guo Lan, wearing a white cheongsam, was as elegant as a white lotus, and stood in front of the public. She smiled and said: "Guests, ladies and gentlemen. On behalf of the Heiner Museum, I would like to thank you for your enthusiastic participation. Because of happy people like you, charity can develop."
"Today, Heiner Museum will commission Tianxing Auction Company to auction two hundred precious works of art. Most of these artworks are donated by the chief patrons of Heiner Museum to support charity. Here, I want to thank you. That scumbag!"
Next, several Hong Kong officials and several guest representatives also delivered speeches, and then the auction meeting officially began.
The host announced the first auction item on stage.
The staff lifted out a square table, covered with a red cloth.
The host said loudly: "Guests, ladies and gentlemen! The first artwork sold in this auction is about to appear. This is a jade seal used by the emperors of the four dynasties of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing, a total of twenty-four!"
The staff uncovered the red cloth, and everyone saw twenty-four jade seals of different sizes and extremely carved craftsmanship displayed on the square table. In the audience, many people stood up in shock, staring at Yuxi.
"My day #Na Museum is so generous, each of these jade seals is a priceless treasure, they actually took out 24!"
"The jade seals of the four dynasties are really magnificent when they are put together. But they are too precious, and few people dare to shoot."
"This kind of treasures can be encountered but not sought, and no matter how high the price is, it is a pity that the old man has limited funds, otherwise he must collect them all."
Participants originally thought that this auction was just a show and there would be no real treasures. Most charity auctions are nothing less than that. A charity auction can sell tens of millions of dollars. Unexpectedly, the reality is so shocking, the first lot is a big deal.
The host did not wait for the shock of the crowd to disappear, and continued: "This set of jade seals is quoted at 3.8 billion Hong Kong dollars! Each time the price increase is not less than 100 million Hong Kong dollars!"
As soon as the voice fell, someone off the court immediately raised a placard: "I'll give out 3.8 billion!"
"Thirty-nine billion!"
The fierce bidding began. The rich knew that these twenty-four jade seals were definitely not only worth 3.8 billion yuan.
The auction meeting entered at the beginning, which caught many people off guard, regretting that they had not studied the auction in advance and could not make a good bidding arrangement.
"I give out five billion!"
Suddenly, a harsh voice sounded, and the bid was actually a middle-aged Japanese. Seeing this person, Zhang Jun recognized him as a major Japanese collector Norio Mitsui, and he actually came to join in the fun.
Professor Guo had worked with this person at the time, and Professor Guo had a high evaluation of this person, thinking that he was a real Confucian businessman, a person with an international spirit. This person loves antique collection and is also a successful businessman. The total assets of his company exceed 50 billion US dollars, and he is one of the core of the Mitsui family.
The Mitsui family is a big chaebol in Japan, with huge assets of nearly 400 billion U.S. dollars and employs 240,000 employees worldwide. Mitsui's ability to become a core member of this big chaebol shows that he has extraordinary status and ability.
The price of 5 billion yuan surpassed everyone's psychological expectations, and the scene suddenly fell silent and there was no competition.
The auctioneer announced: "Five billion at a time!"
"I have 10 billion." Zhang Jun said lightly, and Huang Yueling beside him held up the sign high.
"What, ten billion!"
"My God! Who is this? Is it a spoiler?"
But some people were not surprised, they just looked at Zhang Jun curiously, thoughtfully. Ten billion is really scary, but sometimes what happens at auctions does not need to be taken seriously.
Norio Mitsui was surprised, he just smiled and did not hold up the sign again.
The host made three calls without bidding, so the final word was announced and the twenty-four jade seals belonged to Zhang Jun.
"Isn't that Master Zhang, who has become so popular recently? It is said that his skill is very deep, and I didn't expect to be so rich!"
"No matter how rich it is, it won't be so exaggerated, right? Ten billion will be thrown out at once? How much money does he have, one hundred billion?" Some people feel incredible and can't understand Zhang Jun's motives.
Before everyone recovered from the shock of the first auction item, the second auction item was carried out again. This is a sword used by Emperor Kangxi, luxurious and exquisite, with a starting price of 180 million.
Then another round of fierce competition began, and Kangxi swords were finally sold at a sky-high price of 390 million yuan, setting a record for the highest transaction volume of swords.
The auction went beyond the public's expectation, and it was so popular that each piece of peerless treasure was sold at sky-high prices.
On the first day of the auction, a total of 20 collections were sold, with a total auction value of 15.6 billion, shocking Hong Kong.
At the end of the auction, Zhang Jun was going to leave with the three women. As soon as he left the seat, Norii Mitsui came over. He bowed to Zhang Jun and said politely: "Master Zhang, I have heard your name for a long time. It is a great honor to see you today."
Zhang Jun looked at the big Japanese collector and was surprised to see three strands of black lines on his forehead. In terms of Wang Qi technique, this black line is called "Desperate Line", and the person with the Desperate Line on his head will definitely not survive three days.
He calmly said, "Mr. Mitsui? I have heard of you from Professor Guo, and I admire you very much. I heard that you opposed the Japanese official worship of ghosts?"
Mitsui Norio was surprised, and said: "So Master Zhang knows Professor Guo? We are very good friends and once had business cooperation. You are right, I have always opposed the Japanese official ghost worship. I think a country wants to To be truly strong, we must face history directly and use history as a mirror, so that we can develop."
"It is the blessing of Japan for Mr. Mitsui to think like this." Zhang Jun smiled, "I can see that you are an upright person. I think we can make friends."
Mitsui Norio was very happy and said, "Jun Zhang is really a refreshing person, and I am also happy to meet you."
Zhang Jun: "If it is convenient for Mr. Mitsui, please go to the humble house to sit for a while, so that I can make the best of my landlord friendship."
This move is in line with Mitsui's intentions. He came to Hong Kong mainly to participate in the auction conference. Just now Zhang Jun scored 10 billion to win the twenty-four jade seal. He was not angry, but felt that the other party was a very person. Come over and talk, it's best to make friends.
Norio Mitsui readily agreed to Zhang Jun's invitation, and took his entourage to Zhang Jun's residence. On the way back, Zhang Jun and Novi Mitsui were sitting in a car, Zhu Binglan drove.
Zhang Jun suddenly said: "Mr. Mitsui, you are in danger, and you will not survive for three days."
Mitsui Norio was taken aback, he stared at Zhang Jun: "Why did Zhang Jun say this?"
Zhang Jun: "People call me a ‘Master’, of course I have some vision."
Norio Mitsui fell silent. He thought for a long time, sighed, and said, "If anyone wants to kill me, then the other party must be from the Mitsui family."
Zhang Jun: "Mr. Mitsui, you are now my guest. I can guarantee your safety. But you have to tell me who is killing you and why they are killing you."
Mitsui Norio thought for a while, and felt that since Zhang Jun could see that he was in a dangerous situation, he should be a strange person, telling him it might not be a bad thing. So he explained his situation in detail.
The Mitsui family is one of Japan's six major chaebols with a long history. In recent years, the right-wing militarist forces in Japan have been on the rise. The right-wing elements are very inflammatory in Japan. They have tried their best to win over several major consortia in Japan, hoping to work together to reshape Japan.
In the hearts of these people, the rise of Japan must be through the military revival route, which is the only way out. But before that, they must have the absolute right to speak and gain support both politically and economically.
The Mitsui Consortium is one of the targets that the right-wing forces want to win. Mitsui’s internal opinions differed, some opposed, and some supported it. Nobio Mitsui is a person who opposes participation in right-wing forces.
Norio Mitsui believes that the general international trend is peace and development, and military struggle and expansion are by no means the mainstream of the world. It is bound to be cast aside by the whole world, and will eventually die. If the Mitsui Consortium participates in it, it will definitely not end well, and it will eventually be over.
