Three hundred million, Li Yang's heart was severely pinched.
He brought 400 million euros with him this time. He had not used much before, only a few million, and the fraction could be ignored. However, the bidding price of 300 million euros was already close to the red line of his funds, which Li Yang did not expect.
[bsp; Dean Huang was also looking at Li Yang, with the same worry in his eyes.
He knew the amount of funds Li Yang had brought this time, and the competition for "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was fierce, which was completely beyond his imagination.
It's a pity that he can't apply for funds from the state. This is an underground auction after all. No matter how important the things are, the state cannot directly come forward. Even he is participating in the auction in a private capacity this time.
If the country really takes action, it will only become a laughing stock.
Moreover, the grand auction has regulations that do not accept any government. Once they deal with the government, it will put a lot of pressure on them and cause a lot of trouble.
"Increase it to 320 million!"
In another luxurious private room not far from Li Yang, a white man in his forties was smoking a cigar and talking leisurely.
"John, is it too high?"
Next to him was a companion in yellow clothes, who frowned and asked him.
These two people are famous rich people in the UK. The one named John has the title of British Buffett. He is the most famous speculator in the UK.
"Is it high? No, I don't think it is high. George, when have you ever seen me apologize?"
The man named John turned around and showed a bright smile. Behind his smile was extreme confidence.
This John is the European who raised the price before.
Three hundred and twenty million. John's bid not only made Li Yang's brows knit together tightly, but also caused the smiles on Mr. Hoss's and others' faces to disappear.
They naturally knew John, but they didn't expect that the other party would follow him so hard. It seemed that they were bound to win. This was a competitor they had not expected.
"Three hundred and thirty million!"
The smiles on the faces of the people in the Korean consortium also disappeared, but they still increased the amount. They could still bear more than 300 million.
"Three hundred and fifty million!"
Mitsui Tai said softly, his appearance did not change much, but his tightly clenched fists betrayed his mood at this time.
"Four hundred million!"
Li Yang didn't hesitate to go straight to the game. He only had so much money now. If he couldn't scare others away this time, he might be in trouble himself.
The bidding item with a base price of 30 million has now reached 400 million, an increase of more than ten times. Countless people are discussing and talking, and some people are looking forward to it excitedly.
The highest bid last year was 500 million. I don’t know if today’s item can surpass last year. It is already 400 million. Judging from the increase, there is hope for this.
"Li Yang offered 400 million!"
The latest news was quickly learned by Mr. Hoss and the others. The six of them looked at each other and nodded.
The development of things was somewhat beyond their expectations, and they had to take action. They really couldn't wait any longer, otherwise they don't know how many competitors would compete with them.
What they have to do now is to make all opponents withdraw as much as possible.
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Kong Xuan hurriedly went to support her father. After the price of 400 million was announced, Mr. Kong lay slumped on the sofa.
He is going crazy, and he also knows that he has been eliminated at this time. At this price, he can no longer afford it. If he continues to compete, it will only make the Kong family disappear.
It's true that the Kong family has tens of billions of assets, but that's not cash. The big auction only wants cash, not your assets.
"I'm fine!"
Kong Lao smiled bitterly and shook his head, glanced at the big screen, and then continued: "This world is really crazy!"
Turning 30 million into 400 million is indeed crazy. It was so crazy that he lost another chance to get back the family heirloom. The country's disappointment and regret made him like this.
"Crazy, really crazy!"
Kong Xuan also murmured that after exceeding 200 million euros, they were the first among the competitors to be eliminated. This made Kong Xuan feel an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Are you happy?
There is indeed one thing, it is really nice to not have to take such risks and not have to put the family into crisis, but this also means that there is no chance to get back the Luminous Cup. Such opportunities are not many for them.
It may be this once in a lifetime.
Kong Xuan was slumped, and suddenly she sat up straight again. Four hundred million was not the end, and the price on the big screen changed again.
Four hundred and ten million.
Mr. Hoss finally took action and increased the price by 10 million. At this point, all the real competitors who were interested in "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" have appeared, and the competition has become fierce.
At the auction site, Grand was a little surprised when he saw the latest price. He barely said anything before the price surged up.
In fact, he also understood that no matter how much he said about such an auction item, it would be useless. The competitors behind it would not listen to what he said. Each of them had their own ideas.
"Four hundred and ten million!"
Xiao Yan said softly. In fact, everyone had already seen it and there was no need for him to remind him.
There was a wry smile on Li Yang's face, with a sense of helplessness, while Dean Huang's face was full of disappointment, without any concealment.
"Four hundred and twenty million!"
Li Yang suddenly turned around and said something, and the blond beauties behind him hurriedly helped press the price. At this moment, the blond beauties were also extremely shocked.
More than 400 million euros. These rich people simply use money as money. If the money is converted into banknotes, they can be beaten to death.
"Li Yang?"
Dean Huang screamed worriedly. He knew that Li Yang's funds would already exceed the amount he brought.
"I can use the money to build the museum first, and then talk about it later!"
Li Yang shook his head slightly. He still had several hundred million yuan on hand, which was the initial preparation for the museum. These funds can only be used now.
Dean Huang nodded slowly. He couldn't say anything at this moment.
"Four hundred and fifty million!"
Mitsui Tai suddenly shouted, and Aoki Weiyang's nervous heart immediately calmed down a lot. Mitsui Yasu could just continue to fight, but he was afraid that Mitsui Tai would give up.
He doesn't have that much money.
On the big screen, the bright red 450 million is particularly conspicuous.
In the hall, the discussion in other private rooms became louder. It was only 50 million away from the record of the previous session. Now it seems that it is not impossible to surpass the previous session.
Grand's heart was also beating fast. It was of great significance to him to surpass the previous highest auction record.
There really was a record-breaking single-item auction, and he was rewarded for hosting the underground auction this time. If it weren't for the backstage of the big auction, he would not have been willing to come.
Hosting such an auction would be a stain on his career.
But it's different when you create a record. Even if there are stains, it doesn't matter.
Everyone in Li Yang's private room had a look of disappointment on their faces. Li Yang had already said that he only brought 400 million euros this time, which meant that he would be out of money.
Four hundred and fifty million is not enough even for Li Yang and his leader.
"Li Yang, I can lend you another two hundred million!"
Lin Lang suddenly said something, and everyone looked up at him in surprise, especially Li Yang.
Others didn't know it, but he knew it best. The 400 million he brought this time had already lent Lin Lang 200 million. If Lin Lang lent another 200 million, almost most of the money belonged to Lin Lang.
“The interest is the same as before!”
Lin Lang went on to say that he came to participate in the big auction this time and had prepared more than 100 million in cash. He would think of ways to scrape together 200 million euros for Li Yang.
If it doesn't work, let the Canadian base camp handle the situation, but lending another 200 million to Li Yang is his limit.
After all, this is just helping, and it is not his own business. He also needs to answer to the people in his family and his company.
But for Li Yang, this is definitely a big favor. Being able to provide him with this assistance at a low interest rate at a critical moment is no different from providing help in times of need.
"Brother Lin, I won't say any more words of thanks. Let's have a few drinks after we get back!"
Li Yang nodded seriously. He was not polite at this moment and could not tolerate his politeness. Winning "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" was the most important thing right now.
He can only try his best to repay the money. Fortunately, he has a high-value mine, so he can't repay it.
The extra 200 million also gave Li Yang some more confidence. The 450 million had not changed. He thought about it and directly added another 10 million.
"Four hundred and sixty million!"
There has long been no laughter from the Korean consortium. They did not expect that the competitiveness would be so great. They originally thought that they could win it for two to three hundred million, but it has already exceeded double their expectations.
"Everyone, please continue adding?"
Jin Kecheng glanced at the people around him, and some people already had hesitant expressions on their faces.
What Mr. Hoss and others said is indeed true. The Korean consortium may seem powerful, but in fact it is a paper tiger. Once it exceeds their psychological tolerance, they will be unable to withstand it immediately.
"Add it!"
After a while, everyone continued to agree. They have endured until now and cannot give up so quickly. At least getting "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" will make all Koreans proud and show China the Sword of Silla once and for all.
counterattack.
"Four hundred and eighty million!"
Just as Jin Kecheng was about to add, the numbers on the screen changed again. He stared blankly at the big screen. At this time, he already understood that there were at least three more competitors, or even more.
"John, you are crazy, you are really crazy!"
In addition, in the private room, George kept shaking his head. The person who increased the amount to 480 million this time was Sir John.
"No, I'm not crazy. Don't worry, my investment will definitely pay off!"
John shook his head and smiled. He was a very well-informed person. After "The Last Supper" was released in China, he began to investigate a lot of information.
The more he checked, the more surprised he became, and at the same time some ideas came into his mind.
If all his inferences were correct, he would not lose a penny by spending a lot of money to take the picture "Along the River During the Qingming Festival", but would also make a huge profit for him.
At this moment, John was still absolutely sure.
