The counting units of English and Chinese are inconsistent. Every four digits in English and every five digits in Chinese need to change the name of the counting unit, which forms a different representation of more than four digits.

Among the counting units of English and Chinese, the number, ten, hundred and thousand are the same, but there are two counting units of "ten thousand" and "hundred million" in Chinese, but not in English; In English, there are only two counting units after thousands: million and billion.

What Yang Jinggang just said "maruhan Zhuo demilin", written in English, is "one hundred million", which means one hundred million, a total of 100 million!

In other words, after Harper Lawrence clenched his teeth and quoted a price of 50 million US dollars, Yang Jing did not hesitate to quote a price of "100 million US dollars".

With the faint sound of Yang Jing, the whole audience immediately became strangely quiet again. Almost everyone was stunned by the number reported by Yang Jing.

If you put it 20 or 30 years later, there are several auctions worth more than 100 million dollars. For example, the most expensive auction item in the world is the painting when you get married created by Gauguin when he lived in Tahiti in 1892. This painting sold for a sky high price of $300 million at an auction in February 2015.

However, even after 20 or 30 years, there are only five auctions that can exceed US $100 million in the world. Except that the representative work "the walking man" by Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti sold us $104.3 million, the other four works are all oil paintings.

Now it is the 1980s. In this era, billions of dollars of auctions have never appeared!

However, in the grand banquet hall of Meilong manor, an auction price of "100 million US dollars" came out quietly, which was even more surprising than that when the British infantry who still lined up the ancient dense charge formation in the early stage of World War I met the German markqin heavy machine gun.

At that time, the British army was still adhering to the ancient method of infantry intensive charge, while the German opposite only raised the muzzle of markqin heavy machine gun a little, resulting in the death of 50000 British infantry in one day.

The "100 million dollar" figure just reported by Yang Jinggang is no worse than the German markqin heavy machine gun in this room

Bloomberg has been stunned. He doesn't even have the mind to persuade Yang Jing.

What advice? Bloomberg now has only more than $200 million, but the one around him threw $100 million in cash just like throwing a small stone!

The whole audience was silent for three seconds, and then there was a sound again.

But different from the noisy buzzing when Yang Jing reported 50 million, this time the sound was much lower, and everyone's eyes focused on cole Smith.

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

As for the other protagonist of the competition, the arrogant Mr. Harper Lawrence, stood there for a long time and couldn't speak.

Yang Jing shook her arm at the auctioneer who was also standing on the stage, which attracted the auctioneer's attention. Then the auctioneer was as excited as that. His voice trembled slightly and said, "100 million! The first time!"

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

Everyone, including Harper Lawrence, had no doubt that Cole Smith was determined to win the broken box. They even knew the momentum of making such an offer for this guy. If Harper Lawrence continued to make an offer, the mysterious Cole Smith would definitely offer 200 million or even higher.

Although there is also a saying in the United States called "if you have money, you will compare with the cow?" here, Cole Smith interprets the answer to this sentence incisively and vividly - what I want is money, so what I want is the cow! You bite me!

I don't care who you are. If you dare to compete with me, I will kill you with money!

Are you tired of living than I am?

"100 million! Second time!" the auctioneer's voice sounded again, and Harper Lawrence's face was even paler. He looked up at Cole Smith, his lips moved twice, as if he wanted to continue the offer, but finally he sighed heavily and dropped his big head.

"100 million! Third time! Congratulations to Mr. Smith on getting this Luban box." perhaps because of excitement, the auctioneer's voice changed a little. No wonder this is the first $100 million auction in human history, and this auction was auctioned out from his hands. Just this is enough for him to occupy a very important position in the ranks of auctioneers.

Perhaps in the next ten or even fifteen years, he will maintain the name of "100 million yuan auctioneer" alone! This is an honor that can't be exchanged for many times with white gloves!

As the auctioneer's hammer landed heavily on the table, Harper Lawrence raised his head, silently looked at the man 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 smoke free war, Lawrence has completely lost.

Yang Jing walked up with a smile. Old Paul greeted him, whispered "thank you", and then held Yang Jing's hand together.

The next one shook hands with the Mellon family. Yang Jing picked up the half Luban box again, looked deeply at it, put down the box, then took out the checkbook from the suit pocket, smiled and said, "Richard, I'm sorry, I haven't handled the checkbook in your Mellon National Bank, so I can only use the Citibank's checkbook."

Schiff laughed and said, "cole, you will receive a credit card specially prepared for you by our Mellon National Bank in a moment. That 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 as she wrote the numbers.

Old Paul whispered, "cole, you can write 120000 dollars. 100 million dollars is not worth it."

Schiff also said, "cole, Uncle Paul is right. Just listen to Uncle Paul. This box is not worth 100 million dollars, and you just helped our family a lot. Anyway, we can't charge you so much."

Hearing this, Yang Jing was stunned, then shook her head slightly and said in a low voice, "there's no need. Since I quoted the price, I'll pay the figure in full. Don't worry, I won't lack this money."

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

Shi Kaifu was at a loss. He really didn't want to take the check, but seeing Yang Jing's look very firm, he finally had to take it with a sigh.

Seeing that Shi Kaifu took the check, Yang Jing was also relieved. In fact, he didn't say something just now - the box itself is worth more than this money!

It's not that Yang Jing has to pay more than 90 million US dollars to the Mellon family. It's really that Yang Jing subconsciously used perspective skills again when she picked up the Luban box just now. As a result, she vaguely saw the word "receive" in running script on the silk, which confirmed the conjecture just now.

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

And if the box really contains clues related to that guess, buying the box for $100 million is a respect for the box and the people who made it.

That baby is absolutely priceless for Chinese people. If this $100 million can buy a clue about that baby, it is also worth it. If the things in the box are really the clues of the baby, Yang Jingning is willing to pay twice or even five times the price!

Because that baby should have such high value. Although Yang Jing now holds a foreign passport, what flows in his bones is the blood of the Chinese people. In his eyes, how much money can't replace that treasure.

In fact, if Lawrence didn't bid just now, Yang Jing won the box, which must be arranged by God.

But since Lawrence bid, it shows that God doesn't let him get this thing too easily. Isn't it money? Just bid.

One hundred million dollars to buy a clue is just out of respect for the baby. And Yang Jing thinks he should do the same. As for helping the Mellon family, it's just easy work. Since I saw the box today, Yang Jing will never allow it to fall into the hands of others.

Old Paul sighed, but then smiled and whispered, "cole, do you recognize the origin of this box?"

Yang Jing shook her head as she put the checkbook into her suit pocket and said, "how is it possible? I just think this box is very eye-catching. In addition, Lawrence is so angry that I'm going to teach that guy a lesson. Besides, shouldn't the Boston consortium also accept some lessons?"

With that, Yang Jing turned to look at skeff, and then whispered, "compared with today's auction, I hope we KY investment fund will have more in-depth cooperation with the Mellon family next year. Richard, in my plan, I plan to buy several banks on the east coast next year. The initial plans are Hartford National Corporation and Arlington trust. How about, are you interested?"

Hearing this, several members of the Mellon family looked at each other and smiled.

PS: bow and thank "a dream can't come true" and "listening to the rain at night alone in a small building" for their 1000 rewards.
