The first item was sold, at this time the auction had already reached the peak of the auction. Following the sale of each item, Xia Tian also bought two items: one was a calligraphy and painting, which he bought for $50 thousand, and the other was a precious collection watch made by the Swiss firm Rolex, which he auctioned for $150 thousand. These two items were things that he liked and bought for himself, but he did not like any of the items that came after, and it was not because he had high standards.
As the end of the auction drew near, Anny's voice became a little hoarse, but he was still very excited, after he finished auctioning the last item, he continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, the next item to be auctioned is the most precious item since the opening of our Jades Auction House, please wait a moment, you will all be able to see it soon."
As Anny said this, he instructed the staff backstage to take out the items. After a while, everyone saw a staff member from the auction brought an item on a tray to Anny. Anny took the item and placed it on the table.
After that, Anny spoke into the microphone: "Everyone, please take a look." With that, he opened up a piece of cloth. Everyone saw that the surface of the cloth was emitting red, blue and green rays of light, dazzling everyone's eyes. At the same time, the whole auction hall was giving off an auspicious feeling.
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air when they saw what was on the stage. What a huge diamond! And what they saw on the big screen was even more clearly. When Anny saw the expressions of the crowd, he was quite satisfied. When he first saw the same expression, he said: "Ladies and gentlemen, what you have seen were three diamonds, each of them was the same size, each of them was 388 grams, and they were red diamonds, blue diamonds, green diamonds, their color, quality, and craftsmanship were all perfect. I am certain that they were all naturally formed, otherwise, they would not have been such perfect craftsmanship. They emit a peaceful aura, and when you look at it when you are in a bad mood, your heart will calm down. Its brightness is completely comparable to a beautiful Night Pearl. "
After Anny said this, he paused for a moment. It was obvious that he was a bit tired. After waiting for a while, he said again, "I don't want to introduce too much about these diamonds right now. They still have some functions, you can slowly understand them when you get them. If you say too much, he will lose his value, so I must keep it a little mysterious." Now that the auction officially started, all three of them would be auctioned at the same time. Each person could only be auctioned one diamond, and the three highest bidders would be the owner of the diamonds. Its starting price is one hundred million dollars, and each bid increase must be no less than ten million dollars. Alright, let's start the auction. "
After Anny finished speaking, no one called out a price, because many people knew that the price they called out now would definitely be banned. After a while, someone called out the price.
"110 million."
It was unknown where this voice came from, but everyone was looking at each other. But with the first bid, there would be a second bid.
"One hundred fifty million."
"Two hundred million."
"250 million!"
"..."
They knew that their own prices were not obtainable, but if the people in the VIP lounge were not interested in it, then it would be theirs. Therefore, the prices of the guests in the hall were higher than usual, making Xia Tian feel that there were really a lot of rich people in this world!
Ten minutes later, the price of the diamonds had reached six hundred million in the hall, but there were still people who raised the bid to eight hundred million. Now that the price had reached this level, the cheers in the hall lessened.
"One billion." This was the voice from private room 18. At this moment, the hall was completely silent. It was clear that their mission had been accomplished, and now it was the VIP room's turn to shout.
"1.1 billion." Private room 8.
"1.2 billion." Private room 9.
"1.5 billion." Private room 1.
As the VIP lounge was visible from the outside, they were not able to see the way inside, so they did not know who the other side was challenging them. Moreover, the auction house also followed the principle of secrecy, not revealing the identity of the VIP lounge.
After the price reached $1.5 billion, the price slowly started to rise, but it still reached $1.8 billion, which was two times more expensive than Tong Lin's estimate.
"1.8 billion and 50 million." Private room two.
"1.8 billion." Private room 3.
"1.9 billion." Private room 1.
The guest in VIP booth 2 was thinking, "Damn it, who is that bastard in VIP booth 1? If someone from above didn't want one, I wouldn't be fooling around here with you. I'll take someone to beat you up first." Although he complained, the other people in the VIP room also thought the same. They wanted one, and if they could get all of it, it would be for the best, because they also knew that there was one more function, and that was to cure all diseases, regardless of how many of them were feeling in the peaceful halo of the diamond, for a period of time, the patient would recover. So at the moment, they were still shouting out prices.
"2 billion." This was the sound coming from private room two.
"2.1 billion." Private room 1.
"2.2 billion." Private room 3. Currently, only the first three VIP rooms were bidding. The other VIP rooms were all watching to see who would be the final winner.
At this time, Xia Tian and the others were in private room number 6, where Xia Tian said: "Uncle Tong, go and tell the auction house that the price can be stopped at $2.5 billion, I do not want them to continuously bid for these diamonds, $2.5 billion each is already very good for me, since they want it all, just treat it as me giving them a gift."
Tong Lin looked at Xia Tian in shock and said: "Xia Tian, this is the first time I've heard that you find it too much. Someone is giving you money, why don't you want it? And they gave it to you willingly. If the auction house heard your words, they would think this was the first employer to appear in a government official's office. "
Xia Tian said: "Uncle Tong, just treat it as me buying half and giving it to you. "Just do as I say."
Sigh … Tong Lin sighed helplessly and nodded at Xia Tian. He then took out his phone to make a call.
Now that the price outside had risen to $2.5 billion, it was clear that it was not going to stop. Just as the people in VIP booth 1 announced the bid of 2.5 billion, Anny's voice rang, and said: "Esteemed guests in the VIP booth 1, 2 and 3, after you all called to inform us that the price of each diamond had reached 2.5 billion, we did not need to call anyone anymore. He said that since the distinguished guests in VIP booth 1, 2 and 3 like these diamonds so much, and also wanted to increase the price, he wanted to save some resources for you all, so you all only need to pay 2.5 billion US dollars and you all can have it. "I think this is the only item that I have auctioned since I had an official. The guest is so generous that he willingly stopped raising the price."
When the audience heard Anny's words, they went into an uproar. Everyone was thinking, if that bastard was pretending to be a b * stard, wouldn't he want to give me money or not? Moreover, this was a strange thing that they had seen before. So he shouted.
Upon hearing Anny's words, Number 1, 2, and 3's distinguished guests were all stunned for a moment as well. They all felt this was inconceivable, as they tried to guess who the owner of the diamond was, but they had never thought of it. Hence, they did not want to, as they had also heard Anny's words, they had to answer immediately, if not, they would not be able to get the diamonds. Thus, private room one was the first to speak: "private room one is willing to pay $2.5 billion."
private room two also said: "private room two is willing to pay $2.5 billion."
"private room 3 is willing to pay 2.5 billion dollars too." private room 3 also said.
Seeing that the distinguished guests in the three guest rooms had all spoken, Anny said: "Congratulations number 1, 2, and 3, all of you have obtained what you want. After you hand over the funds, you will be the owners of these three diamonds. Now that the auction has ended, thank you all for coming! " After Anny finished speaking, he bowed to everyone and then quietly left the auction venue.
Xia Tian and the others also walked out from the back door under Tong Lin's lead, but they did not go out, and instead went to the VIP room on the top floor that was arranged for them by the auction.
After arriving here, Tong Tian said to Xia Tian: "Xia Tian, now you can be considered to be a billionaire with ten billion worth of wealth. You deserve to be celebrated. When everyone heard Tong Tian's words, they all burst out in laughter.
