The rest of the people at the scene invariably looked at the first row position. When everyone saw who was raising the price, the whole auction hall immediately became a sensation.
"It was Mr. Clement's bid for 100 million US dollars. It's a big deal! The New York Metal Exchange has also joined the competition. The level of this auction is too high!
Several giants in the North American gold industry all ended up competing, including the two major futures exchanges that dominate the world's gold market. Wow! This scene is simply incredible!"
"This is a war between the Chicago Gold Futures Exchange and the New York Metal Exchange! Other gold companies are definitely out of play and it is estimated that they will soon be defeated!
I really envy that bastard Steven. He will definitely be the biggest beneficiary of this competition. He will definitely be able to reap a lot of dollars and make a fortune. God treats him so much!"
As everyone expected, as the two major gold futures exchanges joined the competition, the remaining North American gold giants have retreated one after another and withdrew from the competition in despair.
They may not lack US dollars in their pockets, but absolutely no company is willing to offend the two major gold futures exchanges. Even if the value of this gold nugget is more attractive, it is not worth it!
When the price of this nugget exceeds 130 million U.S. dollars, there are only two competitors left!
Clement of the New York Metal Exchange, and Johnson of the Chicago Gold Futures Exchange!
"The 20th bid was 135 million U.S. dollars. It was Mr. Clement of the New York Metal Exchange. The current price is 138 million U.S. dollars and 138 million U.S. dollars. Does anyone Price?"
Anthony's voice resounded through the auction hall again, still full of passion and at the same time he raised his hand and gestured towards Clement.
Immediately afterwards, he immediately looked at Johnson in the middle position, no one else in his eyes.
He knew very well that the only competitors left were these two golden predators and the winning bidder could only be one of these two and the others were out!
As long as it is a North American gold company, no one will risk offending these two old guys in the audience! That's definitely not worth the loss!
For people outside of the gold industry, although they also like this gold nugget very much, they may not value its symbolic significance. That is the greatest value of this gold nugget!
To spend more than 100 million US dollars to bid, they may not be willing!
Johnson quickly raised the bid number plate and gave a positive response.
"140 million dollars, Anthony!"
The New Yorker Clement also did not show any weakness, raising the price again by $5 million.
After several rounds of fierce competition, the price of this gold nugget reached 170 million U.S. dollars in a blink of an eye!
At this time, Johnson began to hesitate to raise the price, his expression became very solemn, frowning and thinking about it longer and longer!
The price is too high. Even though this piece of gold nugget has a huge symbolic meaning, 170 million dollars is still a bit outrageous!
After thinking about it for a long time, he raised his placard again and agreed to a price of US$173 million.
But Clemente was obviously more confident. He didn't hesitate and immediately quoted a sky-high price of US$178 million, showing once again his determination to win!
Facing this high price, Johnson could only smile and shook his head, announcing his withdrawal from the competition, his face was full of disappointments and regrets!
"US$181 million, US$181 million, is there anyone responding? Ladies and gentlemen, don't miss this opportunity!"
Anthony exclaimed that although he knew it would be unnecessary, the procedures that should be followed are still indispensable.
Everyone just looked enviously at Clemente standing in the first row and Ye Tian with a bright smile, but no one responded to Anthony and raised the bid number plate in his hand!
After questioning two or three times, Anthony immediately entered the hammer-off transaction procedure.
"The first time and the second time for 181 million U.S. dollars, Sold! 178 million U.S. dollars was sold. The winning bidder was No. 20, Mr. Clement of the New York Metal Exchange, congratulations!"
Accompanied by passionate shouts, the auction mallet in Anthony's hand fell heavily.
"boom!"
The final word.
At the same time, Ye Tian slammed his fist into the air and cheered directly.
"Awesome! Perfect!"
The auction is over and he can celebrate it arrogantly. As for what others think, let them go!
The same goes for Betty, who is standing next to him, with the brightest smile!
"Papa...Papa"
Applause suddenly sounded, very enthusiastic and instantly swept the entire auction hall.
After a brief cheer and celebration, Ye Tian took Betty out of the seat, walked to the side in front of Clemente and Perez and said with a smile:
"Mr. Clement, Mr. Perez, congratulations, for the most suitable and perfect mascot for the New York Metal Exchange!
When this piece of gold nugget appears on the trading floor of the New York Metal Exchange, I believe it will bring you good luck and encourage all traders to work harder and create better performance!"
"Let you auspicious words! This is why we woned this piece of nugget gold. we hope that it can inspire all employees and we hope that this piece of nugget gold can become the mascot of the New York Metal Exchange.
Congratulations too, you have made a lot of money! And it was taken out of our pockets, you are really amazing! I have never seen anyone making money easier than you, I admire!"
Clemente said with a smile, a smug smile, and his eyes were full of appreciation.
The same is true for Perez next to him, his old face is full of laughter!
"You are too much! The little money I earned is just a little joke, just for fun, not worth mentioning! You can't get into the eyes of you super crocodiles at all!"
Ye Tian said politely, rarely being humble.
"You are a very outstanding guy, you will definitely be even better in the future, we are optimistic about you!"
"Thank you! I am honored to have this transaction with you and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future! We are leaving now, I wish you all enjoy this beautiful day, see you, gentlemen!"
"I believe we still have a chance to cooperate. This is indeed a beautiful day. You should also enjoy it, enjoy life, see you later! Lucky guy!"
After saying goodbye to each other, Ye Tian took Betty and turned to leave, walked to Scott and the others, as well as some other old and new friends, to say goodbye to them.
"My dear! This nugget of gold actually sold for $178 million, which is incredible!"
Betty whispered, she was still in shock.
"I didn't expect to be able to sell such a high price. This is the benefit of public auctions. It will always bring unexpected surprises. It is perfect!
This special auction has all ended, we will sign the auction confirmation letter later and then pay and then you can get the set of Cartier sapphire jewelry."
Ye Tian said with a smile, his expression was very relaxed.
"Wow! Great! I can't wait!"
Betty said happily, very excited.
"You will be able to get what you want soon. In the next period of time, let's enjoy life and we don't have to think about the rest!"
Ye Tian gently held Betty's hand, smiled and whispered.
For him, the New York autumn auction season is over!
Except for Sherman's march notebook, all the other heavyweights in his hands have been sold. The transaction price is quite ideal and he earned a lot of dollars, which is perfect!
Although this afternoon, evening and tomorrow, there are still their own antique works of art, but that doesn't matter anymore, it's just icing on the cake, so he don't worry about it!
The celebration, starts today!
