Chapter 158 Sensational Sotheby’s Auction House
Jiang Hua sighed: "Mr. Freeman, I have already told you that there is really no second spiritual fruit."
Freeman's heart sank and he became a little angry.
Do you think I am a three-year-old child?
Freeman looked around.
I saw many people looking over.
He felt a little anxious.
If this is known to others.
I'm afraid it's not something that can be solved with $100 million.
He suppressed the anger in his heart.
He said to Jiang Hua in a deep voice: "Twenty million US dollars!"
"I can pay 200 million US dollars, as long as you hand over the spiritual fruit to me."
"Two hundred million dollars is enough to keep you fed and satisfied for the rest of your life."
Jiang Hua said sincerely: "I'm really sorry."
"This is really an attractive number, but it's a pity that I really have no spiritual fruit."
Freeman's heart sank.
"Young man, don't be so shallow."
"I can tell you that in this Jinshan City, our Karl family has ten thousand ways to make a person disappear out of thin air..."
Jiang Hua narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at him and said:
"Mr. Freeman, are you threatening me?"
Freeman met his gaze and said in a deep voice: "Young man, I'm sorry that our Karl family has to obtain a spiritual fruit."
Jiang Hua suddenly laughed.
"Mr. Freeman, you are right. I do have a second fruit, but this spiritual fruit is for my own use."
Freeman's face lit up.
"That's great. We still have the same price, two hundred million dollars. As long as you take out the spiritual fruit, I can transfer it to you immediately."
Jiang Hua smiled half-heartedly and said: "Mr. Freeman, I am not short of money myself, why should I sell the spiritual fruit to you?"
Freeman felt that he was being teased, and his face suddenly turned cold.
"Young man, I advise you to hand over the spirit fruit, otherwise our Karl family cannot guarantee that you can leave Jinshan City safely."
Jiang Hua smiled and said: "Mr. Freeman, since you said so, I can only take out the spiritual fruit."
Freeman's face suddenly became happy.
"But..."
"Mr. Freeman, I will hand over this spiritual fruit to the auction house. I believe Sotheby's Auction House will be happy to accept my entrustment."
"What?"
Freeman's expression suddenly changed.
Hand it over to Sotheby's?
The price they will have to pay by then will be more than just 200 million US dollars.
Freeman said hurriedly: "Young man, don't be impulsive. If anything happens, let's sit down and discuss it."
He gritted his teeth and said: "Our Karl family will add another fifty million US dollars."
"Two hundred and fifty million!"
"Is this okay?"
Jiang Hua shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, I will not trust someone who threatens my personal safety, so I will hand over this spiritual fruit to Sotheby's auction to auction it for me!"
Then Jiang Hua took out a jade box from his arms.
He stood up and waved to the Sotheby's auction staff, motioning for them to come over.
Freeman's face was livid, "Young man, do you really want to be an enemy of our Carr family?"
Jiang Hua ignored him.
Seeing him stand up and raise his hands, the Sotheby's auction staff quickly came over.
And the people on the side also looked over.
Everyone's faces were watching the show, watching this scene with interest.
The other three heads of the four major families had teasing smiles on their faces.
They saw Freeman sitting next to the young man, and then the two seemed to have a conflict. Anyway, Freeman's expression was very bad.
Although I don't know what happened.
But when everyone saw Freeman's defeat, they all felt a little interested. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
The Sotheby's staff came over quickly and asked.
"Oh, I want to ask, do you still accept the commission?"
"I want to put something up for auction with you."
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "That's very welcome, sir."
"If you have something you want to entrust us to auction, you need to apply first. Then after our appraisal, only things with a certain value can be put at the auction."
“But if you want to put it in this auction, then I’m very sorry, it’s impossible.”
"Whatever you have can only be put at the next auction."
The staff member explained the entrustment process in detail.
Jiang Hua smiled and took out the jade box in his hand.
"What is this?"
Everyone became a little curious.
Freeman on the side was still unwilling to give up, and whispered in Jiang Hua's ear: "Young man, I can offer up to 300 million U.S. dollars, this is already my limit!
"Do you really want to offend a huge family?"
Jiang Hua ignored him at all.
Then he opened the jade box directly.
A fruit inside was revealed.
Jiang Hua smiled and said to the staff: "Oh? Isn't this also possible?"
After everyone saw this fruit.
Some people looked blank.
Some people looked stunned for a moment, then frowned and thought, and finally showed shock, looking at the fruit in Jiang Hua's hand in disbelief.
"This...is it legendary?"
The heads of the Philemon family, the Broad family, and the Pearson family all had extremely excited expressions on their faces.
They finally knew why Freeman looked so ugly.
It turned out that there was no agreement with the young man.
Then someone else threw it directly at the auction.
The heads of the other three major families all laughed.
This is really great.
Originally, they didn't have a share of this spiritual fruit.
Now that it's put at auction, it's hard to say all this.
"What is this?"
Everyone around looked over.
There are still many people who don’t know what spiritual fruit is, including some rich people with a net worth of billions.
There was a look of confusion on their faces.
Isn't this just a fruit?
But looking at the eyes of the top forces, it seems that this is something special.
"It seems that Freeman, the head of the Carl family, is fighting for this fruit. What is it?"
And the eyes of those top powers.
Their eyes were filled with fiery color.
Spiritual fruit! It's been seven or eight years.
Finally appeared again.
Many top powerful people regretted not taking the spirit fruit at the auction seven or eight years ago.
In this era, spiritual fruits are becoming increasingly rare.
And eat one less pill.
Many top forces are speculating that the environment in this world is no longer suitable for the birth of spiritual fruits.
In the future, the spiritual fruit will become a legend.
There's a chance it will never happen again.
However, I didn't expect that a spiritual fruit would appear again in this auction.
"Got to get it!"
The heads of the top powerful families were breathing heavily.
Looking at the spiritual fruit in Jiang Hua's hand, he was filled with greed.
Only Friyan looked extremely ugly.
He has never been so humiliated in his life.
"Damn it!"
"Damn yellow skin!"
"I will let you know the consequences of offending the Karl family!"
Freeman showed a hint of ruthlessness in his heart. He had already decided that after the auction, Jiang Hua would be tortured to death.
Make him regret coming into this world!
The staff at the Sotheby's auction had a look of confusion on their faces. What is this?
Why hasn't he seen it?
After all, things like spiritual fruit are not something that little people can know about.
"Can this be put up for auction?" Jiang Hua said with a smile.
There was a trace of embarrassment on the staff's face.
According to procedures, no matter how precious something is, it cannot be put up for sale at auction.
Generally speaking, the auction process requires application, appraisal, scheduling, auction and other procedures.
This round of procedures is over.
That will take at least more than half a month.
But seeing the greedy looks of the people around him, the staff looked suspicious and finally decided to call his supervisor out.
Let him decide this matter.
"Yes!"
Suddenly, a voice came from far away.
There was a hint of excitement and trembling in his voice.
Everyone looked over.
I saw a well-dressed old white man running towards this side.
The Sotheby's staff was stunned for a moment.
Isn't this the general manager of their Sotheby's auction house, Jinshan City branch?
He also saw his supervisor.
He was running behind the old white man.
"What the hell is this?"
"Even the general manager was alarmed?
The staff member was shocked.
The old white man ran to Jiang Hua, a little out of breath, and relaxed a little. He showed a kind smile to Jiang Hua and said with a smile:
"This gentleman, the postman is the general manager of Sotheby's Jinshancheng branch. You can call me Vogt."
"It is an honor for Sotheby's auction that you choose us, so I have decided to put your items on top of the finale items of this auction."
"And our Sotheby's auction will not charge any handling fees, and all the price obtained from the auction will be handed over to you."
"What do you think?"
Vogt kept himself low.
He was very aware of the preciousness of spiritual fruits.
If this is placed at Sotheby's auction house, for their auction house, it will not only build their own reputation.
And it can also increase your influence.
Auction houses rely on a reputation.
If you don’t have a reputation, who among the rich will attend your auction?
Jiang Hua was surprised at first.
Then he nodded and said casually: "Well, let's put it up for auction here." Vogt suddenly became excited.
"Sir, I promise you will not regret this decision."
Jiang Hua handed him the jade box in his hand.
Vogt carefully covered the jade box, and then waved to the surroundings. Immediately, seven or eight bodyguards ran over from the side.
Vogt has no doubt about the authenticity of the spiritual fruit.
Because the spirit fruit has a special aura that no one can imitate. This is the best identification method.
The heads of the Philemon family, the Broad family, and the Pearson family were all looking at Freeman with teasing smiles.
The white-bearded old man of the Philemon family laughed and said: "Hey, Freeman, your face looks a little bad!"
"Lucas, what does it have to do with you?"
Freeman gave him a cold look.
"Tsk!" Lucas smiled, "Some people want to eat alone, but unfortunately, even God can't stand it."
Freeman took a deep breath and said, "Lucas, don't be proud, this spiritual fruit still belongs to our Karl family.
"Haha."
Lucas shrugged and said, "That's not a sure thing."
Freeman snorted.
I ignored him again.
He turned back and glanced at Jiang Hua coldly.
Jiang Hua and Shirley Yang sat together hugging each other.
He didn't pay any attention to Freeman's cannibalistic look.
Guests came in one by one.
The entire auction site was packed.
Looking around, there are dense crowds everywhere.
And this time the auction also officially kicked off under the spotlight.
The old man Vogt, the general manager of Sotheby's Auction House in Jinshan City, actually acted as the auctioneer of this auction himself, wearing a well-fitting suit and stepping onto the stage.
"Hello, friends, hello everyone!"
"The auction hosted by Sotheby's is about to officially begin. I will be the host of this auction. Now I will announce the process of this auction."
"This auction is divided into three sessions."
"There are ordinary item auctions, high-level item auctions, and the final item auction."
"For the auction of ordinary items, the base price is more than 10,000 U.S. dollars, and each increase in price must not be less than 1,000 U.S. dollars."
"The auction of high-end items has a base price of more than one million US dollars. Each bid increase shall not be less than US$10,000."
"The final item auction, the base price is more than 10 million US dollars, and each increase in price must not be less than 100,000 US dollars."
"Dear friends, this auction is about to begin!"
"Please wait and see!"
"Now, our auction begins!"
