Chapter 590
People say stocks are exciting, but compared to auctions, stocks are nothing.
At this time, the price had risen to 308 million.
308 million is almost the lowest price Tang Xiao estimated.
Jiang Han also became nervous.
At this time, Jiang Han saw the lady sitting in the C position wearing a goose yellow dress quietly chatting with the man next to her.
When the price was called out at 318 million, the lady in the goose yellow dress finally raised the sign.
"418."
Jiang Han held his breath. This time he added 100 million.
This is more than 100 million higher than the lowest price Tang Xiao estimated.
This should be the highest price.
"Ten million times."
"Twice 418 million."
“Is there any higher price?”
"418 million——"
Just as the host's hammer was about to fall, someone else raised a sign, "428 million."
Just as the host was shocked, the lady in the light yellow dress raised the sign again, "468 million."
He added another 40 in one go.
Tang Qin's lips curled up, and she looked at Jiang Han beside her, "What? Are you scared? This is just the beginning."
Jiang Han didn't quite understand, "What do you mean?"
"5,000 yuan per gram is the lowest price my brother quoted based on the video on your phone. I've actually seen the item, and those attending today's auction are no ordinary people. I have a feeling this ambergris could fetch 8000 yuan per gram."
8000 yuan per gram, which means that this piece of ambergris can be sold for 481.6 million yuan.
Jiang Han finally lost his composure. Such a stone-like thing could actually be sold for 481.6 million yuan.
Soon the price on the field reached 488 million.
"That's over 8000 per gram."
Tang Qin shook her head, "It's not enough. Even if the current price is 488 million, you can't get 8000 per gram."
Jiang Han didn't understand, "Why is this?"
"When an item is auctioned, the auction house will charge handling fees, venue fees, appraisal fees, and commissions. All these fees add up to about 25% of the auction price."
Jiang Han's eyes widened. "So if I sell something worth 100 million, I have to pay the auction house 25?"
Tang Qin nodded. "That's already considered a small amount. At auctions like Christie's, all the items combined can account for 30% of the auction items."
Jiang Han was speechless. It turned out that the auction house was the most profitable.
"508 million." The lady in the light yellow dress bid again.
"528 million." Someone else raised a sign.
"528 million per time, is there a higher price?"
The lady in the goose yellow dress thought about it, and instead of holding up a sign, she raised her hand and said something.
Jiang Han was a little confused. Why was it in Japanese?
Is this woman having a good life?
The man next to her helped translate, "Ms. Fujiwara wishes to smell this fragrance. Any losses incurred will be solely the responsibility of Ms. Fujiwara."
Tang Qin was stunned when she heard the surname. She lowered her voice and said to Jiang Han, "Fujiwara is a very famous aristocratic surname in Xiaozi. Especially in ancient times, many famous historical figures came from it."
"The Fujiwara family isn't as prominent as it used to be, but a lean camel is still bigger than a horse. No one knows how much strength they still have."
Jiang Han didn't know much about the history of Xiao Rizi, but what Tang Qin said must be correct.
Just then, a staff member came up to him.
"Mr. Jiang Han, Miss Fujiwara wants to take a small piece of ambergris to try its scent."
When the staff member said this, Fujiwara Aiko looked towards Jiang Han, subconsciously turned the brim of her goose yellow hat slightly with her hand, and nodded and smiled at him.
Jiang Han frowned slightly. It would be fine if someone else made this request.
but--
"Tell her that if no one wants the ambergris after she burns it, it will still belong to me, but she has to compensate me 300 million. If someone still wants it, she has to pay me 300 million too."
Even if the auction item is sold, you can still cancel the sale, but you will have to pay a very high penalty.
Jiang Han was afraid that the people on the scene would smell the bad fragrance and change their minds.
Anyway, she would give him 300 million just to try the scent.
"This--" the staff hesitated.
Before the auction started, the leaders of the auction house emphasized that Miss Fujiwara was their distinguished guest and must be treated well.
