Five Hundred and Sixteen: Auction that Attracts Global Attention

Hawking's application for a visa to the United States was approved, which attracted the attention of the American people, or people around the world.

Santander auction house immediately became the focus of everyone's attention.

Especially after Hawking's request for direct on-site treatment was exposed, media around the world strongly requested a live broadcast!

The boss of Christie's Auction House slammed his hands on the table and snarled at the person in charge of the project in front of him: "I heard that Mandala Studio was the first to find our auction house, and you rejected it, right? ?”

The project leader gave a wry smile: "They don't provide anything. It's just a three-no studio. There is no patent on this drug. How could I joke about this and tell others about auctioning drugs to treat cancer? We are a big auction house. You can’t mess around.”

"But look at it now, even if this medicine is fake, think about how people all over the world are paying attention to Hawking! The King of the Universe, the most outstanding modern living physicist, is going to personally perform live broadcast treatment. How many scholars around the world are paying attention to this matter? The thing? All the media have gone out of their way to come up with all kinds of high prices to request access to the auction house for broadcasting. Think about it if our auction house gets this opportunity, just the tickets for the thousand people we can accommodate, plus The influence last time can definitely push our auction house to a higher level."

The person in charge of the project coughed: "But if the drug is fake and traps Hawking, and the British side gets angry and demands a thorough investigation of everything before and after, can we escape?"

"Okay, it's best that the medicine is fake." The boss looked at the person in charge and said, "If it's going to work this time, just get out of here and pay for your unprofessionalism."

This is not the only large auction house. There are many companies in the United States that have rejected Mandala Studio auction projects before and were condemned by their superiors. Almost every one of them felt regretful because they missed this opportunity to attract global attention. .

The person in charge of the Santander auction house was directly contacted by other auction houses with a larger area and capacity to request cooperation.

The person in charge is not stupid, but he wants to take advantage of the auction house to hold this project and transfer it at a high price. This is speculation. So he refused cooperation from other auction houses and only conducted it in his small auction house, which still had only 100 seats.

When the person in charge sells tickets to the outside world.

The employee received a call to reserve seats and all 100 seats were sold out 10 minutes ago!

And some rich people who have cancer themselves feel a little bit more convinced after Hawking's first attempt. At this time, it doesn't matter whether they believe it or not. If you don't believe it, there is only one potion left. If you miss it, just wait. Die, or wait for another five years of development by Mandala Studio. But, can you live for five years?

Therefore, those wealthy people who were suffering from cancer could not sit still at all, and flew directly to New York in private jets from all over the world, including the Middle East.

And some scalpers bought tickets, and a ticket worth 10,000 US dollars was sold to 50,000 US dollars!

However, some people still rush to buy it, and the highest price of a ticket is 200,000 US dollars!

No exaggeration at all.

If you can't get in, you will lose the qualification to bid, so people must get in first.

Later, the person in charge of the auction house regretted that the tickets were sold at a loss.

But just selling tickets brought him back from the brink of bankruptcy.

On this day, he applied for American security guards to be responsible for Mr. Hawking's safety. Not even 10 minutes after the auction started, various wealthy people in wheelchairs were already entering the auction. They would be accompanied by personal doctors to take care of all their emergencies.

There were satellite TV cameras around the entire venue for live broadcast and filming. For these fees alone, the person in charge of the auction house charged 300,000 for broadcast rights, and a total of 20 countries around the world broadcast the event.

In other words, the income from seat tickets + live broadcast rights put 7 million in his pocket!

This is why other auctions feel regretful. This is just the small scale of the Santander auction. If it is other large auction houses, more than a thousand seats + can accommodate 200 media seats, these incomes can be directly earned. The bowl is full!

The person in charge directly canceled the commission for Lin Dong's auction item. In other words, if the potion is auctioned tonight, their auction house will not charge a penny. Of course, the premise is that Mr. Hawking can be fine.

That night, all the media and film crews were taking pictures of the host on the stage. He was very high-spirited. He felt that for once in his life, he would be able to watch so many people around the world comparable to the Oscars, which made him feel the pressure and excitement.

He didn't talk nonsense in the past, but tonight he showed off all kinds of humor at his fingertips. He had no choice but to know how to package himself.

"Okay, without further ado, I believe that the guests attending this auction tonight are all patients. Your time may be more precious than those of entrepreneurs. I'm afraid that if I delay any longer, someone will faint and die here. So let’s get right to it, big screen please.”

Clear pictures of the only two potions left were displayed on the big screen, and the host said loudly: "Yes, in the past two days, on this stage, the guests who came to participate in the auction expressed their suspicion and benign attitude towards this potion. So, we invited someone who everyone knows well to come over and test whether this drug is effective. Here, we are very grateful to Mr. Hawking for helping to try this experiment. For his courage, can we give him a round of applause?"

The audience applauded loudly.

“So let’s bring in our important guest who is of great interest to viewers around the world who are watching right now, Stephen Hawking!”

Behind the stage, Hawking's guardian pushed his cart onto the stage. There were two delicate glass boxes, inside which were two lit potions that could be written on the big screen behind for everyone who came to bid to see them.

The audience was sure that it was Hawking who came out and was not imitated. His guardian also served as a witness, which surprised the global audience and the media at the scene.

The host asked Hawking's guardian: "Frankly, are you afraid of this test?"

"Of course I'm afraid. If this test fails and my father's life is harmed, I will sue Mandala Studio!" Hawking's son and guardian said sonorously.

Hawking typed on the keyboard and said, "Let's get started. I'm ready. Ignore him. If it fails this time, I am willing to use my life to contribute the lessons of failure to the road of human medicine."

The crowd applauded him.

Lin Chuxue sighed: "I hope I can really save this old man."

"Yes." Xu Cheng smiled slightly: "He is the foundation builder of quantum science. Maybe I need him!"
