At the end of April, Sunset Town ushered in the busiest day since the town was founded.
Helicopters roared in the sky. More than 20 helicopters arrived in one morning, covering the sky and making it breathtaking.
There are a series of luxury cars on the ground. These cars rarely include supercars such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, and Bugatti Veyron, but there are many business-type luxury cars such as Bentley, Rolls-Royce, and Maybach.
After seeing the pomp of these people attending the auction, Wang Bo believed what Adams said: Christie's did its best to invite wealthy people who could participate in this auction.
Almost all of these people came to the auction with their bodyguards, secretaries and assistants. One hundred and six people were invited, but more than four hundred people came, with great fanfare!
Wang Bo is the host, and he and Adams team up to host the reception.
Adams is naturally the leader of the Christie's empire in Oceania because he has a very good memory. He clearly remembers the names, hobbies, and personalities of the distinguished guests and family members present.
Of course, these materials were also compiled, and Wang Bo got a copy.
Adams didn't think he could memorize it. After all, it was very complicated to remember hundreds of names of family members, and it would be even more difficult if they added their preferences and backgrounds.
But Wang Bo surprised him. After only two days of getting this information, Lao Wang remembered it thoroughly.
It was reflected in the reception that Wang Bo was very confident and he could identify each guest. After Adams gave a brief introduction to both parties, he could choose the appropriate topic to chat politely.
New Zealand is a country that pays special attention to equality. If it is in a cafeteria, the road cleaner and the Prime Minister can sit at the same table to eat.
Therefore, in the face of Wang Bo's decent hospitality, the visitors, regardless of their status, all smiled and chatted with him.
New Zealanders also value a person's self-confidence and energy. Wang Bo's performance of neither being humble nor overbearing won the favor of the visitors.
The auction started in the afternoon. Christie's was responsible for lunch and dinner. Adams brought an excellent team of chefs. Wang Bo originally thought that he would rely on Kobe to appear, so there would be no need for it.
Even the beef and mutton produced in Wang Bo's ranch are not used. All ingredients are flown in from Wellington and Auckland and undergo various tests before entering the kitchen.
The livestock in the pasture do not have inspection certificates, and the chefs dare not use them. After all, the people who want to eat this time are all top rich people, and no one can take responsibility for food problems.
After being introduced by Adams, Wang Bo quickly entered the circle of these rich people. Of course, this is not integration. It can only be said that he can talk to these people and the other party has an impression of him.
Adams was quite surprised to see Lao Wang communicating freely around the rich people. He knew that Wang Bo was a country bumpkin and thought that he would definitely have stage fright in such an occasion. Unexpectedly, instead of having stage fright, he overshadowed him.
To the visitors at the scene, Adams seemed to be Wang Bo's assistant. He came to introduce the relationship. After the introduction was made clear, it was none of his business and Wang Bo took care of it himself.
Not only Adams was surprised, Charlie and others were also impressed by Wang Bo's performance.
Facing these rich people, Hani, among them, was indifferent, and even the handsome Mexicans did not dare to look at them.
As a result, the rich people present had a better impression of Wang Bo. Someone came to Adams and asked: "Which big family in China does this young man come from? Look at his expression, this kind of confidence is rare among young people." See."
"He must have seen big scenes." Another rich man said with a smile, "I paid special attention to it. He has the same attitude towards everyone. I have met many Orientals, but few have this kind of confidence. See."
Of course Wang Bo is now confident that this is his territory. To be honest, the life and death of these people are in his hands. If he is willing, he can kill them all through the Lord's Heart.
How could he be inferior to someone whose life and death were in his own hands
After a quick break for lunch, the auction began.
Wang Bo sat in the last row, so he could overlook everyone's performance.
A white-glove man shook hands with Adams and walked onto the auction stage. He smiled and introduced himself, including which auctions he had participated in, how much he had accumulated, and so on.
White Glove is the highest honor a person can receive in the auction industry, which means that the auctions he has hosted have achieved a 100% success rate, which represents the highest recognition of the auctioneer.
And this middle-aged man named Baron Reeves is even more powerful. He holds the record for white gloves at special auctions in Oceania. He has won white gloves at 19 consecutive auctions.
In other words, in 19 consecutive auctions, there was no unsold product in his hands.
Today is Baron Reeves’ 20th special auction.
Looking at the wealthy people scattered below, Reeves had a natural smile on his face. After routinely emphasizing the discipline of the auction, he waved to the first auction item, which was one of the two golden statues presented by Wang Bo.
Wang Bo has learned that this golden statue is of great value. It has been around for two hundred years and comes from an Indian tribe in the American continent. The image is taken from the Hercules in their mythology. It can be regarded as the totem guardian statue of a tribe.
The year before last, Sotheby's auction house had auctioned a similar statue of a god in the autumn auction in New York, and it sold for a high price of 11 million US dollars.
But it is difficult to achieve such a price in New Zealand because there are no rich Indians here, and those who are interested in such antiques are always the original ethnic group.
Reeves gave a comprehensive introduction to the golden statue, and somehow added a legendary story to the golden statue. With a final wave of his hand, he said: "The bidding for the golden statue of Indian Hercules has officially started, and the starting price is 10 million. New Zealand dollars, 500,000 for each placard raised, please quote..."
There were deep discussions in the hall, and many people were biting each other's ears. After a few seconds, a young man with blond hair raised a sign.
"This gentleman, 10.5 million for the first time..."
Immediately, someone else raised the sign and turned it around: "This gentleman, 11.5 million for the first time..."
Christie's auction director Greg Lyle sat next to Wang Bo. He knew that the other party didn't understand this kind of auction, so he introduced and explained it to him in a low voice.
After several bids, the gold statue stopped after reaching 13.5 million. White Glove shouted '13.5 million' three times, and finally the hammer was made.
Wang Bo is already very satisfied with this price. Christie's estimated price is 12 million, which has exceeded expectations.
The second lot has nothing to do with him. It is a model train.
