The counting units of English and Chinese are inconsistent. For every four-digit number in English and every five-digit number in Chinese, the name of the counting unit needs to be changed, which leads to different representations for numbers with more than four digits.

In the counting units of English and Chinese, one, ten, hundred, and thousand are the same, but there are two counting units ten thousand and billion in Chinese, but not in English; in the counting units of English, The counting units after thousand are only two counting units, million (million) and billion (billion).

And the Maruhan Zhuode Milin that Yang Jing just mentioned is One-Hundred-Million in English, which means one hundred million, and the total is 100 million!

In other words, after Harper Lawrence gritted his teeth and quoted a price of 50.1 million, Yang Jing quoted a price of 100 million U.S. dollars without hesitation.

Following Yang Jing's faint sound, the audience immediately became strangely quiet again, and almost everyone was stunned by the number reported by Yang Jing.

If it is placed in twenty or thirty years, there will be a few auction items worth more than 100 million US dollars. For example, the most expensive auction item in the world is the painting When Will You Marry created by Gauguin while living in Tahiti in 1892. This painting was sold at an auction in February 2015. The sky-high price of 300 million US dollars.

However, even after 20 or 30 years, there are only five auction items in the world that can exceed 100 million US dollars, except for the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti's masterpiece Walking Man, which sold for 104.3 million US dollars Besides, the other four works are all oil paintings.

But now is the 1980s, and in this era, auction items worth over 100 million dollars have never appeared before!

However, in this grand banquet hall of Meilong Manor, an auction price of 100 million US dollars unexpectedly popped up quietly, which is much higher than that of the ancient dense assault formations that were still charging in the early days of World War I. The British infantry was even more surprised when they encountered the German Maxim heavy machine gun.

At that time, the British Army was still insisting on the old style of intensive infantry charge, while the Germans on the opposite side only slightly raised the muzzle of the Maxim heavy machine gun by a foot. Break the battlefield.

And the figure of 100 million US dollars that Yang Jing just reported, the lethality in this room is not much worse than the German Maxim heavy machine gun back then.

Bloomberg was already in a daze, and he didn't even have the thought of persuading Yang Jing.

What do you advise? Bloomberg's current net worth is only over 200 million U.S. dollars, but the person next to him threw 100 million U.S. dollars in cash like throwing a small stone!

The audience was silent for a full three seconds before there was a sound again.

But it was different from the noisy buzz when Yang Jing reported 50 million before, this time the sound was much quieter, and everyone's eyes were focused on Cole Smith.

Alfred Lowell in the distance sighed slightly, turned around and walked out of the banquet hall on the pretext of going to the bathroom.

As for the other protagonist of the competition, the arrogant Mr. Harper Lawrence, he stood there for a long time unable to speak like a mourning concubine.

Yang Jing shook his arm at the auctioneer who was also standing still on the stage, and only then did he attract the auctioneer's attention. Immediately, the auctioneer was as excited as that, and said with a slightly trembling voice: 100 million! This is the first time!

The auctioneer's voice was loud enough, but it couldn't wake up Harper Lawrence. He was already intimidated by the price of 100 million US dollars quoted by Mr. Cole Smith just now.

Everyone, including Harper Lawrence, has no doubt at this time that Cole Smith is determined to win this broken box. They even know very well that if Harper Lawrence makes such an offer to this guy, If the quotation continues, the mysterious Cole Smith will definitely quote a price of 200 million or even higher.

Although there is also a saying in the United States called If you are rich, you are better than others? But here at this moment, Cole Smith is interpreting the answer to this sentence to the fullest - I am so fucking rich, So I'm fucking a cowby! If you don't accept it, you bite me!

I don't care who you are, if you dare to bid with me, then I will smash you to death with money!

Are you richer than me, and are you tired of living?

100 million! Second time! The auctioneer's voice sounded again, and Harper Lawrence's face became even paler. He raised his head to look at Cole Smith, moved his lips twice, as if he wanted to continue the quotation, but in the end he sighed heavily and lowered his big head.

100 million! The third time! Congratulations to Mr. Smith for getting this Luban box. Perhaps because of excitement, the auctioneer's voice changed a little. No wonder, this is the first auction item worth 100 million US dollars in human history, and this auction item was auctioned from his hands. This alone is enough to make him occupy the ranks of auctioneers. A very important position.

Perhaps in the next ten or even fifteen years, he will maintain the title of billion-dollar auctioneer alone! This is an honor that cannot be exchanged for no matter how many times white gloves are used!

As the small hammer in the auctioneer's hand fell heavily on the table, Harper Lawrence lifted his drooping head, silently glanced at the man who was competing with him, and walked out of the banquet hall with a bitter face.

At this time, no one paid attention to Harper Lawrence. In this war without gunpowder, Lawrence had completely lost.

Yang Jing walked up with a smile on his face. Old Paul greeted him, said Thank you in a low voice, and immediately held hands with Yang Jing.

After shaking hands with the members of the Mellon family next to each other, Yang Jing picked up the half Luban box again, took a deep look at it, put the box down, and then took out the check from his suit pocket Ben said with a smile, Richard, I'm sorry, I haven't processed a checkbook with Mellon National Bank, so I can only use the checkbook from Citibank.

Schaife laughed and said: Cole, you will receive a credit card specially prepared for you by Mellon National Bank in a while, which is the highest level credit card of our Mellon National Bank, I hope you like it.

Oh? Then thank you! Yang Jing replied with a smile while writing the numbers.

The old Paul said in a low voice: Cole, you can just write $120,000, and $100 million is nothing.

Skyefe also said: Cole, Uncle Paul is right, you just listen to Uncle Paul. This box is not worth 100 million dollars, and you just did our family a big favor, anyway, We can't charge you so much.

Hearing this, Yang Jing was stunned for a moment, then shook his head slightly and said in a low voice: There is no need for that. Since I have quoted this price, I have to pay the full amount. Don't worry, I will not be short of money. This little money.

With that said, Yang Jing happily signed the number and his own name on the checkbook, then tore off the cash check and handed it to Shi Kaifu.

Shi Kaifu was a little overwhelmed, he really didn't want to accept the check, but seeing Yang Jing's firm expression, he finally accepted it with a sigh.

Seeing that Shi Kaifu took the check, Yang Jing also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he didn't say a word just now - the box itself is worth more than this money!

It's not that Yang Jing wanted to be taken advantage of, and insisted on giving the Mellon family more than 90 million U.S. dollars. It was because Yang Jing subconsciously used the perspective skill again when he picked up the Luban box just now, and the result was that it was faintly visible in the ball of silk. I saw the word Shou in running script on the screen, which confirmed the conjecture just now.

If that conjecture is true, let alone 100 million US dollars, even if it is 1 billion US dollars, Yang Jing is willing to pay for it.

And if the box really contained clues related to that speculation, then buying the box for $100 million would be a tribute to the box and the people who made it.

That treasure is an absolutely priceless treasure for the Chinese people. If 100 million US dollars can buy a clue about that treasure, it is also worth it. And if the things inside the box were really clues to that treasure, Yang Jing would rather pay double or even five times the price!

Because that baby should have such a high value. Although Yang Jing now holds a foreign passport, the blood flowing in his bones is the blood of descendants of the Yellow Emperor. In his eyes, no amount of money can replace that treasure.

In fact, if Lawrence hadn't bid just now, Yang Jing would have taken the box as well. This must have been arranged by God.

But since Lawrence has bid, it means that God will not let him get this thing too easily. Isn't it just money? Just bid.

Buying a lead for 100 million dollars is just out of respect for that baby. And Yang Jing felt that he should do the same. As for helping the Mellon family, it was just a matter of convenience. Now that I saw this box today, Yang Jing would never allow this box to fall into the hands of others.

The old Paul also sighed, but then he smiled and asked in a low voice: Cole, do you recognize the origin of this box?

Yang Jing put the check book in his suit pocket, shook his head and said, How is it possible? I just think this box fits well, and that Lawrence is really annoying, so I plan to teach that guy a lesson. .Besides, shouldn’t the Boston Consortium also learn some lessons?”

With that said, Yang Jing turned to look at Shi Kaifu, and then said in a low voice: Compared to today's auction, I expect more in-depth cooperation between our KY investment fund and the Mellon family next year. Richard, in my In my plan, I plan to acquire several banks on the east coast next year. The initial plan is Hartford National and Arlington Trust. How about it, are you interested?

Hearing this, several members of the Mellon family looked at each other with smiles on their faces.
