God Level Farm

Feng Jing was on the side of the stage, and she saw what happened just now.

There was also a smile on her pretty face, and she felt that Xia Ruofei was really bad. She played Blake all over the place. Seeing Blake's expression, she almost doubted her life.

However, Feng Jing's worries did not diminish in the slightest. Because of the troubles caused by Black, two pieces of white truffles in a row have not actually been photographed by the buyer.

Xia Ruofei went out to raise the price in person, and the negative impact was still there.

And if Blake continues to stir the water, today's auction will really be a joke.

At this moment, Xia Ruofei stood up and motioned for the staff to hand him a microphone.

Then Xia Ruofei took the microphone and said, "Dear guests, some of you may already know me, but I'd like to introduce myself first. My name is Xia Ruofei, and I am the chairman of Taoyuan Company. Today's batch of auctions are provided by our company. of."

Then Xia Ruofei turned around and glanced at Blake lightly, and then continued: "I said just now that Blake and I are not personal grudges. He once slandered our company's reputation in public and suspected our company's truffles for no reason. The quality and even the tendency of racial discrimination, openly claiming that Huaxia people are liars, saying that Huaxia can't grow high-quality truffles, and it has been more than half a year, and there is no apology!"

In addition to some rich people and celebrities from Europe and the United States, many of the people who came to participate in the auction were local upper-class people on Hong Kong Island.

These super-rich and socialites are the older generation of Hong Kong Islanders, and their patriotism is also quite strong. When Xia Ruofei said this, they all cast dissatisfied eyes at Black.

Xia Ruofei paused and continued: "This auction is for the general public. As long as you pay enough deposit, you can participate in the auction. This is the rule of Hengfeng Auction House, and I can't break it. Welcome to Blake and still haven't stopped him."

"But!" Xia Ruofei said, "I've said it before, I don't want to sell our company's truffles to such a person, or even have any business dealings with the French Black Group, if he must buy it, Then be prepared to pay several times the premium!"

Xia Ruofei stared at Blake and said, "As long as you participate in the auction, I will definitely raise the price. As for what price I close at, it depends on my mood! Therefore, it is best to be careful when bidding..."

Blake's face became very ugly, he snorted coldly, and sat in his seat without saying a word.

Today, he has lost all face, and he will be questioned a lot by the family after returning to China, so he is in a bad mood at the moment.

But he just bought a piece of white truffle with a sky-high price of 950,000 US dollars. At this time, he can't leave the field, and it is even more impossible to cheat - he also paid a deposit of 1 million US dollars! Hengfeng Auction House is not afraid of him breaking his appointment at all.

After Feng Jing heard Xia Ruofei's reasonable and well-founded words, her heart was a little more settled.

Although these remarks may not be able to undo all the negative effects, at least they can be improved, and they have also made their own voices.

In this case, it is already very good to be able to do this, at least Feng Jing thinks so.

Just when Feng Jing felt that Xia Ruofei had finished speaking and the auction would continue, Xia Ruofei had no intention of sitting down.

He glanced at the guests and buyers in the venue, and continued: "But no matter what, it's my problem that the auction is affected because of such an episode, so I decided that today because I raised the price with Blake, it was my fault. All the truffles I bought will be auctioned at a small private auction tonight. Interested friends can sign up with our Taoyuan Company staff after the auction, and they can participate after passing the review.

And I am also here to announce that tonight's private auction will be charitable and 10% of the auction proceeds will be donated to the Hong Kong Island Charity Federation! "

As soon as Xia Ruofei's words were finished, Feng Jing almost stunned.

This has basically restored all the negative effects. Xia Ruofei also admitted that his "fighting" with Blake had an impact on the auction, making it impossible for some people who really wanted truffles to buy them, so a private auction will be held tonight. , so that everyone can still bid.

The so-called audit, everyone with discernment knows, is nothing more than aimed at Blake alone. As long as other people have sufficient economic strength, they must be allowed to participate.

Isn't the public auction of Hengfeng Auction House unable to prevent Blake from entering? Then Xia Ruofei will hold a private auction, even if it is a small-scale exchange party. As the owner of the party, Xia Ruofei always has the right to invite whoever rejects who?

For those who really like Taoyuan brand truffles and want to bid, it is nothing more than waiting for a long time, and it has no effect.

Therefore, the negative effects brought before basically do not exist.

Young people rejoice in enmity, and God will forgive them.

In fact, Xia Ruofei's remarks will give Taoyuan Company extra points.

Because he also announced that 10 percent of the auction proceeds will be donated to charity.

Originally, there was a charity fund under Taoyuan Company, which was established by Tang Yitian who donated a large amount of money, but Xia Ruofei decided to donate directly to the Hong Kong Island Charity Federation in order to avoid suspicion and the auction was held on Hong Kong Island.

Many similar auctions are charitable, but a one-time donation of 10% is extremely rare.

After all, these white truffles are worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the heavier truffles in the back can definitely reach the million-dollar level.

If the number is large, 10% is a lot of money.

Xia Ruofei's remarks also immediately received warm applause, especially some local guests and buyers on Hong Kong Island, who all cast approving glances at Xia Ruofei.

Ma Xiong finally showed a relieved smile.

Xia Ruofei smiled lightly and said, "I wasted everyone's time, the auction will continue!"

After finishing speaking, Xia Ruofei glanced at Blake warningly, and then handed the microphone back to the staff.

Lu Zhongguang, who was on the stage, also said with interest: "Okay, thank you Mr. Xia for your generosity! Next, we will start the auction of the third white truffle. This white truffle weighs 1.22 kilograms and has a starting price of US$100,000! Everyone can bid. !"

After Lu Zhongguang's voice fell, everyone looked at Blake subconsciously.

Blake seemed to have been hit a lot. He sat on the chair with a blue face, and said nothing.

The scene was dull for a while, and everyone realized that the auction seemed to be back on track, so they began to bid.

"$180,000!"

"$190,000!"

"$200,000!"

...

The price went up all the way, and finally the white truffle was sold for $245,000.

This is a normal price, although it is a bit more expensive than the general market for white truffles, but considering the impact of poor harvest and the fact that the single piece of white truffle weighs more than one kilogram, the price is still within a reasonable space.

This white truffle was photographed by Mr. Jose, the owner and chef of the Spanish restaurant Asaq.

He happened to be sitting on the left hand side of Xia Ruofei.

This is also a well-known Michelin-starred chef. Although the Assac restaurant he runs is not large and has no chain stores, it is well-known in the Western food industry. .

Although Jose knew that there were more than two kilograms of white truffles to be auctioned later, he also clearly realized that there was still a gap in strength between himself and those rich and powerful people, so the most realistic thing was to take advantage of the moment Two pieces of truffles, which are also crucial to the development of the restaurant.

So after successfully photographing this white truffle, Jose was also quite happy.

Xia Ruofei congratulated Jose politely.

Jose also said with a smile: "Thank you, Mr. Xia, I hope you can go to Spain when you have time. I will definitely cook a big meal for you myself!"

"It's such an honor!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile, "I can't wait to taste Chef Jose's craftsmanship!"

"This is my business card!" Jose handed over his business card and said, "If Mr. Xia goes to Europe, be sure to contact me!"

"Okay!" Xia Ruofei politely took the business card and gave Jose a business card at the same time.

At this time, the auction on the stage is still going on.

Blake seemed to be at a loss, and he knew that even if he made trouble, he would not have any effect on Xia Ruofei.

Even if he made a deliberate bid, and then Xia Ruofei raised his bid, he would stop it, it would at most delay the auction of this truffle for half a day.

Speaking of losses, Xia Ruofei would at most lose a bit of the auction commission, and 10% of the donation, but it still earned his reputation.

What's more, he has foolishly sent 950,000 US dollars to Xia Ruofei. With this 950,000 US dollars, will Xia Ruofei still care about the little bit of money drawn?

And his bid can't be too low, otherwise Xia Ruofei is not needed, and other buyers will compete with him.

If Xia Ruofei didn't accept his bid once he made a high bid, wouldn't he be taken advantage of again?

So after thinking about it, Blake found sadly that he had nothing to do with Xia Ruofei.

Now he can only pin his hopes on those giant white truffles that were auctioned at the end. If he can buy a piece or two back, it can offset some of the noise within the family.

However, looking at Xia Ruofei's determination today, it is not easy for him to shoot smoothly.

In the end, all thirteen white truffles were successfully auctioned, and Blake never interfered again.

These thirteen pieces of white truffles brought Xia Ruofei a total of 3.64 million US dollars in income.

Including the $950,000 offered by Blake, the auctioneer of this batch of white truffles, Xia Ruofei made a total of $4.59 million. In addition to the proceeds from the previous two rounds of auctions, Xia Ruofei has earned $6.864 million so far.

This is even before the filming of white truffles over two kilograms has started.

Moreover, here is only less than a quarter of Xia Ruofei's harvest of truffles this season.

There are seven pieces of white truffles over two kilograms.

The largest piece is 2.75 kilograms. The specific weight of this truffle has not been announced, but everyone guesses that it will definitely break the world record.

Because the current world record is also held by Taoyuan Company's truffles - the final lot at the Shanghai auction at the beginning of the year, weighing 2.05 kilograms.

This will only exceed 2 kilograms. In the auction provided by Taoyuan Company this time, the truffles over 2 kilograms have reached 7 pieces. It is impossible to exceed 2.05 kilograms!

Facts also quickly proved this - the first piece of truffle entered the auction has already broken the world's heaviest white truffle set at the beginning of the year. This piece of white truffle is the lightest among the seven truffles, but it also weighs as much as 2.09 kg!

As soon as this piece of truffle appeared, it caused a fierce competition among everyone.

Many tycoons from Hong Kong Island and Europe and the United States have also joined the snatch. Not everyone is just waiting for the finale. There are many tycoons present today, and there are several with billions and tens of billions of dollars. With 7 pieces of truffles left, every opportunity cannot be missed.

In the end, after fierce competition, this 2.09kg white truffle was auctioned by Zheng Jianian, a rich man on Hong Kong Island, for US$1.33 million.

Looking for a price is not too low. The 2.05kg white truffle at the Shencheng auction at the beginning of the year was taken by Monica, who was beside Xia Ruofei, with her teeth clenched for $1.25 million, but that truffle was worth the world at that time. The halo of record!

This also reflects the scarcity of top-quality white truffles this year. The old man from the Zheng family who took the white truffles was so happy that he could not close his mouth, and Xia Ruofei was also very happy. It seems that this season's truffles will not make him any money less money.

Blake saw that each piece of Xia Ruofei's truffles were auctioned at such a high price, and he was even more upset. At the same time, he saw such a large piece of white truffles on the stage. is quite contradictory.

Just in Blake's hesitant and contradictory mood, these white truffles over two kilograms were sold piece by piece.

The truffles on display are arranged in weight from low to high, and because there are fewer and fewer things, the transaction prices of the following truffles are also higher.

Finally, adding the first $1.33 million, the total transaction price of the six white truffles reached $8.58 million!

When Blake wanted to make a bid several times, Xia Ruofei looked back at him with a feeling of feeling, and he immediately persuaded again, sitting on the seat with gnashing teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

At this time, the auction finally came to the final stage.

The last piece of white truffle was placed on a large tray, covered with a red silk cloth, and placed on the auction table by two staff members...
