Chapter 591
After the advent of Jiaozi, the past dynasties began to understand the mystery of wealth that is made out of nothing. Wealth does not necessarily come from creation, but can also come from bubbles. Since then, history has opened a path of asset bubbles and rapid currency devaluation.
During the Yuan Dynasty, the luxurious life of rulers further promoted the proliferation of banknotes.
After the Italian traveler Marco Polo came to China, he discovered the paper money used in the Yuan Dynasty, and through his travel notes of Marco Polo, he spread the concept of paper money to Europe.
After the appearance of the first Jiaozi, it was not until more than 600 years later that the first European banknotes were issued in Sweden. After that, banknotes became more and more popular and became the beginning of modern currency.
The auctioneer said in a bewitching tone, "The Jiaozi printing plate we see now is the only printing plate handed down from the Northern Song Dynasty. This is the source of the history of world banknotes and the origin of world banknotes."
"The starting price is ten million yuan, and each increase must not be less than 500,000 yuan."
Compared to auctioneers who are not familiar with this auction item, George knows a lot about this printing plate.
Paper money is a pioneering work in human history and an innovation in human history. Its significance is by no means inferior to the four great inventions.
After paper money, the world entered another state, gold and silver no longer became a problem for people, and the world entered the era of paper money rule. Countless generations since then have been heavily restrained by the magic rain of banknotes.
This printing plate is the source of world banknotes.
Money can move God, and the emergence of banknotes makes the magic of money expand the scope of money to infinity. This is the first banknote printing machine in the history of the world.
Paper money has brought the world into a completely different era. Only with paper money has the current finance and development, and everything that is developing rapidly today.
In a sofa chair on the right side of the auditorium, a Japanese man looked at the printing plate with a look of anxiety and expectation. This was all his hope.
George motioned to Jason to raise his placard.
"Twenty million!"
George knew that this Jiaozi printing plate indeed had unparalleled historical value. But that's all. Compared with the collections with legendary stories, a money printing machine lacks story and imagination. Not everyone cares about its value.
The most expensive collections often contain a series of stories, like the Heart of the Sea and the Titanic, like He's Bi and the Jade Seal.
Although this printing plate is something he must have, it is only because he has a special purpose. In terms of the value of the collection, the price of this ancient money printing machine is not very expensive, but it is not difficult to buy it.
Just as George expected, he raised the price by 10 million in one go, immediately dispelling the wait-and-see mentality of others.
This is by far the highest quotation in the auction item. A piece of collection that seems to be only used as a historical memorial. The price of 20 million is enough to dispel some of the tentative ideas of others.
"Is there anything higher than this?" Auction Shu said with excitement, "This gentleman increases the price by 10 million at a time, just to obtain this unique ancient money printing machine in the world. Someone is willing to make this unique. For your collection, will you pay a higher price?"
No one responded, and the 10 million increase was enough to dispel other people's thoughts. What's more, this collection is indeed not everyone's fancy.
"If no one is bidding, then this unique ancient money printing machine belongs to this gentleman." The auctioneer looked around the auditorium. It seems that no one is really interested in this printing plate, but the price is already Far beyond expectations.
"Then, this printing plate"
"thirty million!"
The younger brother next to Xiang's second child raised a sign to increase the price, which was also based on a 10 million increase.
"Forty million!"
Jason immediately followed up with a card, and again increased the price by 10 million.
The people at the venue were stunned for a moment, and took a breath. They had seen more expensive auction items. But ten million, ten million increase in price, they really haven't seen it at such an auction of ordinary collections.
What's more, this is an auction item for which no one can see the reason. The ancient money printing machine could not actually print US dollars and Hong Kong dollars. If it can print US dollars and Hong Kong dollars, it will be of great value.
But the ancient money printing machine, this kind of collection, has no author and no provenance. It’s hard to get a good price for such a collection if you show it off.
"Fifty million!"
The younger brother of Xiang’s second child continued to hold his placard,
"Sixty million!"
An ancient money printing machine, a collection of sufficient historical significance but lack of imagination. In the promotion of the two people the price went higher and higher, exceeding all previous collections.
The second child of the Xiang family seemed to be determined to make trouble for George. George increased the price all the way, and he followed the price all the way. This printing plate has far exceeded its market value.
George looked at Xiang's second child and saw his triumphant expression.
Xiang Jia's second child said in a slick tone, "I'm out of money, Guilao."
He said in a provocative tone, "Your money is all set on those buildings, right. Every move in Hong Kong is clear to our Xiang family. How much money does your company have? How much money is owed? We all To understanding."
He yelled arrogantly, "Do you really want to buy this thing, please, please, please. Maybe I will be soft-hearted and won't grab it with you."
George said indifferently, "One hundred million!"
Li Youran and Xu Lele both looked stunned, and it was true that the biggest local tyrant was still by their side. When they invested in the company, they saw more money, and the value of those buildings was far above the auction items here.
But that is a huge building in Hong Kong. Every dwelling in it contains an elite of Hong Kong. Only an elite can dwell in Hong Kong.
Ordinary people in Hong Kong live in public housing. Thousands of Hong Kong elites live in one building, and that high price is generated.
And what is on these auctions, a printing plate made of a stone, probably has a history of a thousand years. Such an inexplicable thing, the current bidding price has been able to change many suites.
It is enough for them to work for hundreds of years, which can't help but make them dumb. The world of the rich is truly extraordinary.
"Oh, you still have money, yes, yes, go on. One hundred and ten million," Xiang Jia's second child said loudly, "I know it's not worth the money, but I just have a lot of money."
