Chapter 443: Demeter
China, with its vast land and abundant resources, has thousands of years of cultural heritage and historical inheritance.
In all dynasties, there are countless good things.
If foreigners don't understand Chinese things, whether they are investing or collecting, their reaction will be half a beat slower.
Ning Zhiyuan was able to photograph this palace bowl, mainly because there were not many people who knew how to do it on the spot.
These French tycoons are experts in business, but they may not understand how a "bowl" can be so valuable.
There is little competition, the price is right, and it is easy for Ning Zhiyuan to get the palace.
Ning Zhiyuan took two photos with his mobile phone, sent them to Ma Lao through WeChat, and then asked, "Ma Lao, look at this thing, it's not bad, right?"
Ma Lao couldn't type, and replied directly, and asked in surprise: "Gong Xuan? Good thing! Are you at auction? If the price is less than 160 million, I suggest you auction it." β
Ning Zhiyuan gave an affirmative answer: "I have already started." β
Ma Lao asked curiously: "At what price, it should be very expensive, right?"
Ning Zhiyuan said: "It's okay, less than 130 million." β
Ma Lao quickly replied to the message: "You really don't have to say anything about your luck." Do you want to change hands? I can help you find a buyer. β
Ning Zhiyuan thought for a while and said, "Okay! I'll talk about it when I go back in a few days." β
Putting away the phone, Ning Zhiyuan looked ahead again.
Lined up at the back of the palace bowl is a sleek and simple diamond necklace.
The pendant of the necklace is a yellow diamond weighing 88 carats, the pendant is attached to a rose gold necklace and decorated with 32 white diamonds, and the shape on the outside looks like a vine plant.
Yellow color drills are produced in small quantities and are very rare. In diamond mining, only one yellow diamond can be found in every 100,000 diamonds, so you can imagine how precious yellow diamonds are. Generally speaking, the price of a 1 carat yellow diamond ranges from 80,000 to 800,000 yuan, or even more. The reason for such a large price difference is that the price of yellow diamonds varies greatly due to the different color grades.
The necklace auctioned on the stage is called "Demeter", and its name is derived from Western mythology, the name of the goddess of the earth. The grade of a diamond is not the best, but it is still a fine one.
Ning Zhiyuan's vision just felt that it was okay, and Sister Lan and Xiaoshuang both liked it very much.
Sister Lan asked in a low voice: "Ah Yuan, Ah Yuan, this necklace is also very beautiful, is it okay to give it to Xiaoshuang?"
"Then you can shoot it. β
Ning Zhiyuan smiled and nodded, not caring about the price at all.
Anyway, as long as you like it, I'm fine.
Because it is something that women like, the competition for this necklace is quite big.
Sister Lan hesitated several times to raise her card to bid, and every time she had the backbone and courage to raise a card, she was preempted by others.
Ning Zhiyuan shook her hand and said softly, "It's okay, we can wait until they grab it before bidding." β
The price that can be finalized is the final transaction price.
No matter how fierce the front grab, except for the last one, everyone else is a foil. So, as long as the wallet is bulging enough and the confidence is enough, just wait for the final lore.
Sister Lan clenched her pink fists, listening to the other people bidding for the auction, nervous not to want it.
Prices are getting higher and the pace of bidding is getting slower.
When the price came to 6.5 million euros, there was finally only one last buyer left.
At this time, the subtitle group should add a few lines of subtitles next to it.
"There were three minutes of stoppage time. β
"There are not many opportunities left for Sister Lan. β
"Add money and you can qualify......"
At this time, Sister Lan was very nervous, as evidenced by Ning Zhiyuan's already pinched red arm.
Although it had been discussed before, Sister Lan waited until the end to make a bid. But the amount of 6.5 million euros, Sister Lan has not consumed it at all, so her confidence is a little insufficient.
Ning Zhiyuan shook his head helplessly, and said in his ear: "It's okay, I'm by your side." You are now bidding 8 million directly, and it is estimated that it is basically no problem to win this necklace. β
Sister Lan looked at Ning Zhiyuan, exhaled two deep breaths, and then raised the sign: "8 million!"
The auctioneer raised his hand in surprise and said, "There is a beautiful Miss Oriental here who bids 8 million euros." β
Most of the eyes of the audience looked over, and Sister Lan, who had been reminded by Ning Zhiyuan, showed a nervous and shy smile.
"8 million euros for the first time, is there any continued price increase?"
"8 million euros for the second time, it looks like the gentlemen here are gentlemen, and if no one continues to bid, then I will fall the hammer. β
"Okay, 8 million euros for the third time! Congratulations, beautiful Miss Oriental, you will be the owner of this 'Demeter'. β
Got her wish and took the necklace, Sister Lan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and leaned softly on Ning Zhiyuan.
Participate in the auction for the first time and bid with a sign. For Lan Yan, this kind of thing is really tense and exciting, and even his back is sweating.
Xiaoshuang saw it in her eyes and gently grabbed Lan Yan's arm to help her relieve her nervousness.
Ning Zhiyuan blinked, hooked the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Xiaoshuang, are you good sisters?"
Xiaoshuang replied as a matter of course: "Of course it is." β
Ning Zhiyuan continued: "Since they are good sisters, do you have to share blessings and hardships?"
Xiaoshuang tilted her head and looked at him, although she didn't understand the meaning of the words, she still replied seriously: "Then you still need to say." β
Ning Zhiyuan nodded and said, "Well, then you can be nervous with your sister-in-law." β
Xiaoshuang raised her chin and replied, "It's all over, why am I nervous?"
Ning Zhiyuan said with a smile: "The necklace was taken by your sister-in-law and given to you!"
Thank you, my sister!
Between you and your girlfriend, I choose my girlfriend.
(ο½οΎΠοΎΒ΄)
Xiaoshuang stared at Lan Yan with wide eyes, and stammered, "Really, really, really, gave it to me?"
Sister Lan nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaoshuang, do you like it or not?"
Seeing Xiaoshuang's expression, Sister Lan suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and persuaded Xiaoshuang instead.
Sister Lan squinted her eyes and said, "Hehe, although it's Ah Yuan's money, it's also a gift from me, I hope you like it." β
After being shocked, Xiaoshuang heard Lan Yan say this, and quickly shook his head and replied: "No, no, this gift is too expensive, I can't ask for it." β
The necklace of 8 million euros is converted to 63 million RMB, and Xiaoshuang can't ask for it, and she doesn't dare to ask for it.
No matter what Sister Lan said, Xiaoshuang shook her head and refused.
Sister Lan pursed her mouth unhappily, turned around and said, "Ah Yuan, you take care of Xiaoshuang, she doesn't want it." β
Seeing this, Ning Zhiyuan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Forget it, don't want it, you keep this necklace for yourself, and when you go back, pick a piece of jewelry at home that she likes." β
