Chapter 47: The Auction (1)

Two hours later, in Chu Tian's room, a huge display screen lit up. Humb appeared on the screen, saying the opening remarks, and when he finished speaking, the last sentence, the auction officially began.

A beautiful woman in a cheongsam appeared on the display, holding a plate with a string of necklaces inside, and Humber introduced the necklace in gorgeous language.

There is nothing special about this necklace itself, the key is the blue diamond set on its pendant. And this blue diamond is also known as the heart of the ocean.

There are only a handful of Heart of the Ocean left in the world, and there are even fewer large blue diamonds, and it also has another name, the Diamond of Bad Luck.

The story takes place in 1642 A.D., a jeweler in France. During an expedition to southwestern India, this huge diamond, weighing 112.5 carats, was discovered, and it has an extremely rare deep blue color.

The jeweler shipped it back to France and presented it to King Louis XIV of France, who conferred him an official position and rewarded him with a large sum of money in exchange for the precious stones.

The legendary bad luck also began, and anyone who came into contact with it would be haunted by bad luck.

The jeweler was lost by his own son, and the jeweler was poor and penniless in his old age, so he set out on a treasure hunt again, but this time he did not return, and it is said that he died on the way to find treasure.

Next up was King Louis XIV of France. He sharpened the blue gemstone into a diamond weighing 69.03 carats. Louis XIV wore it only once, and soon died of smallpox.

He succeeded King Louis XV of France and became the new owner of the diamonds. He swore not to wear the big dark blue diamond, but he lent it to his mistress. As a result, Louis XV's mistress was beheaded during the French Revolution.

The large blue diamond was passed on to King Louis XVI of France, who often wore it to his queen, and as a result, both Louis XVI and his wife were guillotined. Princess Lambernar, Queen Louis XVI's girlfriend, then became the owner of the blue diamond of bad luck. She was probably killed in the French Revolution because she wore this unlucky diamond.

The diamond was then sealed in the treasury and stolen by thieves in 1792. In 1830, the diamond appeared in the London jewellery market, but it was again polished to 45.52 carats, bought by a merchant, and renamed the Diamond of Hope.

Humbor paused for a moment, then said, "But it's not the real Bad Luck Diamond, the real Bad Luck Diamond is on this necklace. ”

After Humber finished explaining, the big screen indicated that it was possible to bid, and this necklace of the Heart of the Ocean did not have a reserve price. However, after the auction starts, the auction amount is displayed on the screen, but the amount is constantly refreshed.

Although there was no reserve price, the price of the auction soared like a rocket, and finally stopped at the price of 1.9 billion, while the countdown entered on the screen for 9 seconds.

8,7,6,5…… Chu Tian pressed the red button for bidding, and then the amount of the screen bid changed, but the amount did not stay, it changed again, and Chu Tian did not give up and continued to bid with him.

Probably because Heart of the Ocean is an ominous thing, and it's the first to appear. Anyone who auctions regularly knows that at an auction, the more things are in the back, the better.

So Chu Tian auctioned this necklace known as bad luck at a price of more than 2.5 billion.

After Humber announced the sale of Heart of the Ocean, he began to introduce the next lot.

I saw Miss Manners bring a jade plate with three pills on it.

Hong Bo cleared his throat and said: "These three life-sustaining pills are refined by the Medicine King Valley, presumably everyone knows the efficacy, these three life-sustaining pills are refined by the Medicine King Valley after five years since the last auction, and everyone should know that refining is not easy, so the opportunity must not be lost, and the loss will not come again." ”

Chu Tian looked at the big screen and took a closer look, the color of the Medicine King Valley's Life Continuation Pill was dull, and it could not be compared with Chu Tian's Dragon and Phoenix Pill at all, and their pills were engraved with the words Medicine King Valley.

The auction price of the Life Continuation Pill is the same as that of the Heart of the Ocean, and the price is rapidly refreshed on the screen. And it's been a little longer, it's already at the price of three and a half billion, but it still hasn't stopped.

In the end, it was auctioned off at a price of 4 billion, and the price of the second life-sustaining pill also exceeded the price of the first one, and when the third one was auctioned, someone exploded, and finally 6.6 billion was auctioned.

At this time, in another VIP private room, two people were drinking to celebrate!

"Master, our three pills have sold a total of more than 14 billion. A sixteen-year-old boy, with a slightly jerky face, said to his master.

"This money is nothing, it's just a small profit. ”

The old and the young who spoke were none other than Qin Gu Cheng, the first-grade alchemist of the Medicine King Valley, and his closed disciple Sun Chen.

After the three life-sustaining pills were auctioned off, Humber began to introduce the next treasure.

I saw Miss Manners bring up a delicate box, and when Humber opened it, the screen was suddenly full of colors. Chu Tian could see that the light emitted was not a special effect made by a computer, but a real one, emitted from the diamond ring.

Humbor took the diamond ring in his hand and began to explain its origin.

The name of this diamond ring is called the Koh-i-Noor Diamond Ring, and the diamond on the ring is the most famous Koh-i-Noor diamond.

This diamond has the oldest recorded history, with its earliest recorded date back to 1304. Cut again during the reign of Queen Victoria and set in the crown of the Queen of England, the diamond now weighs 108.93 carats. The Koh-i-Noor diamond is said to be a gift from God to a faithful believer.

And this Koh-i-Noor diamond is now divided into several pieces, and the Koh-i-Noor diamond in this ring is the largest, with twenty-one carats.

Chu Tian was very satisfied with this Koh-i-Noor Diamond Ring, and pressed the green button directly without even thinking about it. The explosion is displayed directly on the screen, and the price has been constantly refreshing.

The price has not stopped at two billion, and the system shows that Chutian is not alone in the auction, but there is also one person competing with Chutian.

Seeing that the amount of money on the screen was growing rapidly, Chu Tian was still sitting there calmly drinking tea.

Chu Tian came here today, mainly to buy a diamond ring for Liu Yiyi. If you spend more money in time, Chutian will not feel distressed,

So Chu Tian calmed down and looked at the price on the screen, and the price had already risen to 2.9 billion. But the auction numbers have not stopped, and they are about to exceed three billion.

Humber didn't expect that this ring would be auctioned for 3 billion. If you continue to take pictures like this, there is a chance to exceed the price of the Life Continuation Pill.

Humber used excited words to stimulate everyone in front of the screen. However, it was very effective, and the amount on the screen was quickly refreshed again.

However, in another room, a woman who looked innocent looked at the amount on the screen and drank boiled water calmly. If she walks on the street, someone will definitely recognize her, she is the popular singer Zixin, and the man next to her is Lu Fengshun, the young owner of Fengyun Entertainment Company.

Zixin has always had a good reputation in the entertainment industry, and is called a jade girl by fans, with her excellent voice, she sings in the Chinese music scene, is sought after by hundreds of millions of fans, and earns a lot of money for Fengyun Entertainment Company.

Lu Fengshun is a typical playboy, he only knows how to spend money, and he has always wanted to get Zixin in his hands. But Zixin didn't look down on him at all, thinking that he was an out-and-out loser.

The reason why Lu Fengshun did not be Zixin was because he was forced by the pressure of the Sensible Association, because Zixin is the cash cow of Fengyun Entertainment Company, and if Zixin has a little scandal, it will cause the company to suffer heavy economic losses.

And this time, Zixin was also forced by the company's pressure to follow Lu Fengshun to the auction.

When Zixin first arrived at the auction, she didn't have much interest, but when the Koh-i-Noor Diamond Ring appeared, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Such a diamond ring, no matter which woman looks at it, will show an expression of reluctance.

And Lu Fengshun saw that Zixin liked this diamond ring, so in order to please the beauty, he pressed the burst button.

But Zixin didn't care, but she didn't dissuade her, and Lu Fengshun took it in time, and Zixin wouldn't want it.

Because she knows what kind of person Lu Fengshun is, he will only be obedient to himself for the sake of his body. If he is allowed to get his body, he will be ruthlessly played and applauded.

There are countless female stars who have been played with by Lu Fengshun, some for fame and fortune, and some for money. But in the end, they were all miserable, and some even worked in red light districts abroad. And those actresses who have been exposed, because they can't withstand the pressure, jump off the building and commit suicide abound.

Zixin reminds herself all the time that no matter what the situation, she must keep a clear head, so as not to be calculated by people with ulterior motives, even the food and water she drinks are all carried by her agent.

Lu Fengshun originally thought that this Mountain of Light diamond ring would be won by more than one billion, or at most two billion, but who knew that there would be someone who would be as explosive as himself.

In fact, Lu Fengshun, when the diamond ring was auctioned for 2 billion, he wanted to give up, but he felt distressed when he thought of the 20% fee. So I wanted to wait for a while, hoping that I would be lucky, maybe that person would give up.

Who knew that Chu Tian was the eighth king who ate the scales, and he was determined to get this ring.

Lu Fengshun looked at the amount on the screen, and it had reached 3.5 billion. glanced at Zixin again, still sitting there calmly, so Lu Fengshun pressed the green button angrily, thinking, what are you pretending to be high, wait for me to get you to the bed, and then you will know how powerful my kung fu in bed is.

Zi Xin frowned, glanced at Lu Fengshun who was in a daze, and found him smiling there in a daze, Zi Xin was extremely disgusted in her heart, and she couldn't wait to leave here now.

After Lu Fengshun canceled the auction, this Koh-i-Noor diamond ring, Chutian finally successfully auctioned it for 3.7 billion.
