When Li Cong came in, information about this house was being played in the room. The entire house covers an area of more than 4,000 square meters. Although the area is not very large, the location is very good. It belongs to the excellent land that has been passed down by the Japanese royal family for hundreds of years. It is surrounded by
There are no tall buildings, but some beautiful scenic spots. This kind of place is very suitable for living.
The current situation in Japan is basically worse than the real estate situation in Hong Kong. There are so many rich people. If you give them an area and ask them to build a new house, I guess everyone here can do it. If they want to buy land, they will have to have it.
Half of the people can afford it, but the problem now is that even if you have money, you can't buy it, so a house like this is precious. Many people come here for this house. At least once this auction item comes out, many people will buy it.
People who are about to fall asleep immediately become energetic.
"Boss, I think we have a lot of competitors. According to my observation, there must be at least dozens of them." Although Ono-kun is not as good at observing people as Takeshita, this place is not something Takeshita can tell.
The situation the two people encountered before was too different. The people Takeshita met were all lower-class people, so he could show off. The people Ono-kun met were calm even if his father died. Can he learn from these people?
It's not easy to see something on your face.
"Don't worry about what other people think. We only offer a price of 200 million. I guarantee that the house will be in our hands in the end. If it's more than 200 million, we won't raise the price." Li Cong has also done research on this.
The most valuable thing is 200 million. If it is more, it will be a bit of a loss. Although the value will increase in the future, the potential is not very big. 200 million US dollars buys a house with only more than 4,000 square meters. It is still an old building that is decades old.
It has already been considered as a saturated price.
"Everyone, because the largest earthquake since the Great Kanto Earthquake occurred in Japan at the beginning of this year, there are still tens of thousands of people who have not returned to their homes. His Majesty the Emperor has seen all this.
Yes, so His Majesty the Emperor decided to auction off this residence that she owned when she was not on the throne, and all the proceeds will be donated to the disaster area. Our auction house also decided that we will not take any commission from this auction item, so this mansion was sold at the auction
We will donate whatever amount you have to the disaster area. Everyone is welcome to bid. This 4,000-square-meter mansion has a low price of 40 million U.S. dollars, and each time the price increases, it will be at least 500,000 U.S. dollars." This Sotheby's auction house is really awesome.
They know how to do business. Even if the auction fetched a sky-high price, they could only get a commission of 5%, which is only more than 10 million US dollars. Tonight, they had already made hundreds of millions, basically all
I earned it from this house. Although I lost more than 10 million U.S. dollars by dividing it, I really won this name.
"I'll offer 45 million." A strange guy in the back row started bidding for the first time, but this price was soon surpassed by others offering 50 million US dollars. It seemed that all the money in these people's hands was
It was not the same as mine. Five million US dollars went out in an instant. Although the auctioneer on the stage had seen the world, he was still very surprised to break through the 100 million US dollars mark in a short time. Such speed
This house really costs a sky-high price, and the people below don't seem to realize how high the price they are paying is.
"Get up and ask for 200 million US dollars." Li Cong patted Mr. Ono who was still calculating next to him. Originally, Li Cong wanted him to start bidding with 100 million yuan, but looking at the current situation, it seems that there is no need for it at all.
You might be able to get it if you ask for 200 million US dollars, but if you raise it slowly like this, there will really be no hope at all.
Although Mr. Ono didn't understand what Li Cong meant, he still held up the sign and turned up the volume of his loudspeaker to the maximum so that the guy on the stage couldn't hear him. "I'm offering 200 million U.S. dollars." The voice was direct.
Everyone in the audience was shocked.
Although there is a strong tendency to increase prices, one person's price is 80 million US dollars too high. This is the first time I have seen such a thing in an auction house. The auctioneer who is used to seeing trouble seems to be a little shocked at this time. This Xiaoye is
We know each other. This man used to work for the Mitsubishi family, but then he seemed to be no longer there. How did he get in this time? This man must have bought it for someone. It must have been his own money.
It's impossible. By the way, it must be the Chinese guy next to him. The auction house of that person has his information. He is the guy who won ten billion US dollars from the Mitsubishi family. This is money earned that cannot be spent.
It felt so bad. After confirming that this guy was qualified to pay, the auctioneer's voice sounded again.
"Everyone, that gentleman over there bid 200 million U.S. dollars. Is there anyone else who bids higher? This gentleman's love for the disaster-stricken areas is really evident. On behalf of all the employees of our Sotheby's auction house, I would like to represent the disaster-stricken areas."
My compatriots, thank you for this caring gentleman." When this guy saw that everyone was going to be silent, how can this be done? Although the price of 200 million is already not low, but he must be able to fetch a higher price.
, my commission is also quite large. As for saying I don’t get commission, it’s just a gimmick. If we don’t get commission later, we still have to pay tax. Then if we collude and pay more tax, who can?
What will happen to us?
He offered 200 million? This sentence appeared in the minds of Yamada Mitsumi and His Majesty the Emperor at the same time, but the moods of these two people were completely different. Yamada Mitsumi was very happy. What if he bought this house?
Are you going to stay in Japan permanently? Can't you see him often? When thinking of this, Yamada Mitsumi looked over involuntarily. It happened that Li Cong was also looking here. Li Cong was facing this girl.
Smiling, this girl almost screamed with excitement. Although she is not young anymore, it is really her first time to talk about falling in love. Her reaction is similar to that of ordinary little girls. If there weren't so many people at the moment,
If so, I probably have to go over and chat for a while.
But His Majesty the Emperor didn't think so. What did this person want to do? Although his house was considered good in the eyes of these people, there was no need for him to buy that house because of his status?
His own home is much better than here. She is no longer the little girl she was before. If it were really that simple, she would rather believe that humans evolved from monkeys.
The silence lasted for two minutes, but still no one bid. The auctioneer above had already said everything he could say. If there was no bid yet, the house would belong to that person, even though the price was 200 million US dollars.
It's not very low anymore, but obviously it hasn't reached its bottom line yet.
Others also feel that there is room for this price. According to everyone's ideas, it should be 300 million U.S. dollars. But they all know the guy in front of them. He has earned Mitsubishi's 10 billion U.S. dollars, and there is so much cash here.
How can people be so powerful as this place in front of them? We are all rich, but they only have some real estate, and they have liquid funds. Besides, the high-rollers in major international auction houses are all Chinese. This place in front of us is
He was so arrogant when he was gambling that day. If this kid saw someone with a price higher than his, he would definitely spend his money desperately. Then he would be embarrassed if he couldn't take the photo, so he better not do the thankless thing.
"Everyone, if no one has bid yet, will this mansion belong to this gentleman?" The auctioneer is still making his final efforts. If there are no mistakes, his hammer will fall.
"Twenty-two million U.S. dollars." Finally, a guy made an offer. The person who made the offer was Yamada Mitsumi's father, Takeshi Yamada. He just wanted to see if this person was interested in his daughter. If not, he would make sure that he would pay the price.
This young man's arrogant character will immediately continue to raise prices, but if he did, he would probably have to stop.
"Mr. Yamada Tsuyoshi has made a bid, is there any higher price?" At this time, the auctioneer was the most excited person in the audience.
Li Cong raised his eyes and glanced at Tsuyoshi Yamada. The two people's eyes met for a moment. Li Cong felt that this person's probing eyes had already been planned. How could this person jump out to disrupt the situation? But he should talk to the Emperor.
It doesn't matter. If you want it, I'll just let it go to you. Anyway, I'll give you 200 million, and I won't do anything that would result in a loss.
Li Cong pulled Ono-kun's clothes and motioned for him to sit down. We gave up. Li Cong's actions surprised everyone in the audience, but Yamada Tsuyoshi smiled. The young man gave in. It was because of his own words.
It's probably impossible, and it's impossible for him to be interested in his own money or power, because he doesn't care about what he has. Then the most precious thing in his family is his daughter. It must be because of her. These two
Personal drama.
"Dad, why are you making an offer? Do you also want that house?" Yamada Mitsumi said, shaking her father's arm. Everyone could see the dissatisfaction, but others didn't know the reason for his dissatisfaction.
"Haha, they say girls are outgoing, but you're not married yet, so why are you like this? Dad just wanted to try that boy out, and now it seems the results are pretty good. If you want to develop a relationship with him, I
I want to hold a family reception at home next week, how about asking him to attend? Of course, if you are embarrassed, I will go and tell him later." Yamada Go's favorite thing is his daughter, and there are things that daughters are embarrassed to do.
He has to do it, and he still has this confidence. How can that guy resist the temptation of his daughter? Half of the children of aristocratic families in Japan are staring at his daughter, but they are all a loser, and no one can do it.
This guy is the first one that he has caught his eye on, so he can't miss it.
"Dad, what are you talking about? I'm ignoring you." After Yamada Mitsumi said that, she took her small satchel and went out. It seemed that she was going to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. Her move implicated a lot of people.
The person's eyes followed him out, but he couldn't just follow him out without any reason.
After seeing that Li never made a bid, the others had no worries. They originally wanted to see Tsuyoshi Yamada's joke, but the Chinese didn't bid. Everyone was afraid of the Chinese but not Yamada Tsuyoshi, even though Yamada was stronger than him.
The Chinese are rich, but Yamada Tsuyoshi will not act impulsively. This price is probably the highest, but their family has their own ancestral home, which is much better than this. There is no need to buy it. Several other families have
The money has arrived, but it lacks a place with solid foundation. Not to mention the 200 million here. When they came, they decided to buy it at all costs. Having this is completely different from not having it. If they knew that Li Cong was
Those who bought it as a temporary place to stay will make them angry to death.
Later, things developed beyond everyone's expectations. The final transaction price was as high as 430 million U.S. dollars. However, when the transaction was about to be completed, Li Cong stood up. This guy had been sitting down since he passed 200 million U.S. dollars and said nothing.
Not to mention, when he saw the emperor going up to sign, he stood up. Everyone was sitting down, so when this guy stood up, he naturally attracted the most attention. Everyone wanted to know what this guy wanted to do.
"Boss..." Sachiko whispered, but Li Cong patted her hand, walked to the middle, and walked quickly towards the podium. Yamada Mitsumi could see what others couldn't see.
, What’s so good about that woman’s hands? My hands are much slipperier than his. If Li Cong knew what this woman was thinking, he would fall down immediately.
"Sir, please go back to your seat and don't delay our auction process." Several security guards stood under the stage to see if they didn't want Li Cong to go up.
When the emperor saw Li Cong, he finally knew that something was going to happen, but she had no idea what was going to happen. The person in front of him was capable of anything, and Li Cong's eyes also represented this person.
There must be a huge wave. When the emperor was about to give orders to his palace officials, he found that the guy seemed to have never come back after going out. Did something happen?
"Mr. Auctioneer, I came forward because of something important. If I hadn't come forward, your auction house would probably be shut down tomorrow for violating some laws. Of course, you can also think that I am alarmist and just let you know.
The security asked me out, but I want to know if you can shoulder this responsibility?" Li Cong said with a smile, just looking at the emperor and the auctioneer were sweating, what on earth is this guy going to do, why did he come up and say this?
Woolen cloth?
The auctioneer obviously couldn't make the decision. He went back and talked with some big guys upstairs and decided to let this guy in. It would be better if some things were explained clearly now. If we talk about it later,
It would be really bad if it's what this guy said.
It is estimated that the reason this person said this is that there are some contraband items in this batch of auction items, or some stolen items or some items from tomb robbers. In fact, every auction house will accept some such items, but as long as there is no precise
There is no evidence to prove anything. Just looking at this gentleman's appearance is definitely evidence.
In 1998, Christie's auction house auctioned a painting by Leonardo da Vinci, but it was finally confirmed that it belonged to the Austrian National Museum and had been stolen by an international thief. The Austrian government filed a complaint against Christie's.
In the end, Christie's lost tens of millions of dollars and closed down for rectification. The money lost was a small matter. The most important thing was that being embarrassed was a big deal. There is a lesson learned from the past. If Sotheby's auction house hasn't woken up yet, then
That's too stupid, and he deserves to be shut down. But judging from the look of this young man, he definitely won't be looking for trouble with the auction house. If he is, he can tell it tomorrow, and he should be looking for trouble with the owner of the goods.
"Sir, I am the president of Sotheby's Japan. What do you mean by what you say? Can you come to my office and tell me?" said a bearded man coming down from upstairs, in front of a large audience.
It's not appropriate to say that. The people below him won't be happy when he says this. These rich people have nothing to do. They all want to find something to do. If there is such an interesting thing, he will run away.
, how is that possible?
"No need, I can make it clear in just a few words. There is something wrong with one of your auction items. This item does not belong to the person who gave it to you at all. It belongs to me. You don't know about such a thing.
How to deal with it?" Li Cong stared at the emperor and said every word. If everyone didn't understand this expression, they would be fools.
The Emperor only had one thing that belonged to her that night, that house. Could it be that it belonged to the Chinese in front of me? Impossible. It was the private property of the royal family. It had been theirs for hundreds of years. Yes.
Okay, this guy also made a bid just now, but he just didn’t buy it. It’s your own fault that you didn’t buy it. Why did you make such a mistake? This idea is probably what most people think, even a few of his
The subordinates also looked puzzled. Is the boss really trying to play some tricks here? This is not a good thing.
"Sir, since there is no problem if you want to say it here, but there are people with status here, I hope that everything you say must be supported by evidence. Otherwise, even if our auction house does not hold you accountable,
I believe that the owner of the cargo will definitely pursue the case." The president said. He also felt that Li Cong was more likely to be messy, and such things were not uncommon.
"Mr. President, of course I have my own evidence, and these things are absolutely legally binding. The thing His Majesty the Emperor auctioned just now was actually mortgaged by her to Mr. Li Cong, the president of the Energy Group, a few years ago. Here are the items at that time
The signature of His Majesty the Emperor, who is the Crown Prince, but for some reason Mr. Li gave me this IOU and entrusted me to take over the house within the loan period. This is all the transfer contract and the entrustment written by Mr. Li to me.
You can check with Mr. Li or the relevant departments for the book and the gift contract. Everything I provide has legal effect. If you still don’t believe it, your number one lawyer in Japan, Yamamoto Maki, is responsible for this contract.
Witness, you can ask him to take a look." Li Cong said and handed the document in his hand to the president in front of him.
