Chapter 44 Until No One Increases the Price
Ruan Qinqing knew her sister too well, and she must have had an argument with Qiao Yin just now, so she said apologetically to Qiao Yin: "Miss Qiao, I'm sorry, my sister is spoiled." ”
Qiao Yin shook her head, her impression of Ruan Qinqing was still very good: "It's none of your business." ”
Ruan Qinqing still smiled apologetically: "Miss Qiao, I have to go to the back to see my sister, go first." ”
is also a member of the Ruan family, Ruan Qinqing is much more mature than Ruan Zhining, she wants to go to the back to see Ruan Zhining, although her sister does not appreciate it.
Watching Ruan Qinqing leave, Qiao Yin could finally sit down, she was too tired to stand in high heels for a long time.
"Fortunately, it was Ruan Qinqing who came to Qiao's house to meet Qiao Yu. These are Lu Jiaming's original words.
Qiao Yin also thinks so: "The two sisters of the Ruan family are simply very different. ”
Thinking of what Ruan Qinqing said that day, people can support themselves and don't need their husbands to support them, and they don't value the Qiao family, only this kind of person who has no desires and no desires can really be good to a person. If Ruan Qinqing and Qiao Yu can really become husband and wife, it seems to be really good, and I don't know what Qiao Yu thinks.
It didn't take long for the auction to begin.
The city government came forward to host the auction hosted by a well-known auction company in City A, and the organizers first gave speeches, and after the speeches, a VCR about children from poor families in poor mountainous areas was played, and then the auctioneer appeared.
There are many kinds of items in this auction, and the first auction is a few antique calligraphy and paintings donated by caring people, and many people present are vying to bid.
Lu Jiaming auctioned a Jingdezhen porcelain vase from the Ming Dynasty, which was a blue and white porcelain from a folk kiln, and was sold for 6.8 million yuan.
After the deal, Lu Jiaming smiled at Qiao Yin: "This bottle is very good, it was given to Grandpa Qiao." ”
Qiao Yin doesn't know much about antique calligraphy and painting, and has a specialization in art, if she is given a few architectural design drawings, what she can say is the Tao, she really doesn't understand these things, there are some calligraphy and painting jade at home, which are also exchanged by grandpa.
Old Man Qiao is idle at home, planting flowers and raising fish, studying chess skills, and sometimes holding those bottles and cans at home to ponder, a few of them are young, and Lu Jiaming knows a little about antiques, which is why Old Man Qiao likes Lu Jiaming, with a good personality and a common language.
The rest of the Qiao family was not very interested in these, and the old man Qiao always said: "Gold in troubled times, antiques in prosperous times, you are still too young and have too little experience." ”
At the end of the antique calligraphy and painting auction, it is the second round of jewelry auctions, some of which are internationally renowned jewelry brands, and the auction prices are also between hundreds of thousands and millions.
At the end of the jewelry auction, the auctioneer carefully took out a vermilion wooden tray, and in the tray was a ring, which was set by a pear-shaped blue diamond weighing seven carats, which is very rare in the world, and the blue diamond shimmered in the dazzling spotlight.
The auctioneer said that the name of this ring is called "Bright Star", which was purchased by their auction company from abroad and treasured for many years.
Qiao Yin's pupils shrank, ........this was a wedding gift from her father Qiao Mucheng to her mother Chu Yun back then!
Qiao Yin's big watery eyes were already blurred, she had heard her grandfather and second uncle say about her parents since she was a child, Qiao Yin's beauty was more than half inherited from her mother Chu Yun, and Qiao Chu's talent was mostly from their father Qiao Mucheng. Qiao Mucheng and Chu Yun have a deep relationship with each other, and their wedding was also a sensation in City A back then.
Qiao Chu and Qiao Yin once saw their parents' wedding photos in their grandfather's study, and her mother Chu Yun was wearing a white wedding dress and this ring on her hand! After Qiao Mucheng and Chu Yun had an accident abroad, Qiao's family thought it was not an accident, but unfortunately, the police couldn't find out how to investigate at that time, not only did the cause of their death become a mystery, but even the whereabouts of this ring were unknown.
Rare blue diamonds, unique designs, and a lot of price, as soon as this ring appeared, the audience sighed.
Lu Jiaming discovered Qiao Yin's abnormality: "Nannan, what's wrong?"
"That ring was my mother's favorite ...... It was given to my mother by my father. ”
Lu Jiaming glanced at the auction table, frowning slightly: "Bright Star?"
At this time, the auctioneer shouted: "Start the auction", and some people began to raise their signs to bid, and the big screen next to them scrolled to show the current highest price and the bidder's number plate.
Zhou Shaoqing was also bidding for this ring, not because he knew that this ring belonged to Chu Yun, but because Chu Lingxin liked it. Seeing Zhou Shaoqing raise the number plate for himself again and again, Chu Lingxin's face bloomed with joy.
Ruan Zhining, who was born in a jewelry business family, naturally will not let go of this rare treasure, and frequently bids for it offstage.
In less than ten minutes, the price of the ring had been called to seven million, but that was just the beginning.
"Seven and a half million" Lu Jiaming raised the number plate in his hand to make an offer, as soon as he spoke, many people in the audience turned their inquiring eyes, Mr. Lu wanted to take this ring?
Chu Lingxin knew very well the purpose of Lu Jiaming's bidding, it was definitely because of Qiao Yin, she pulled Zhou Shaoqing's clothes, and shouted coquettishly: "Shaoqing~"
Zhou Shaoqing held up the sign: "Seven million and seven million"
At the same time, Ruan Zhining did not show weakness in bidding: "Eight million"
Qiao Yin's financiers have not hesitated to bid, what reason does she have to lose to Qiao Yin? Joke, she is going to set this ring!
"Eight and a half million!" Lu Jiaming spoke again.
"Nine million" Ruan Zhining began to compete, of course it was not Lu Jiaming, the object of her competition was Qiao Yin next to Lu Jiaming.
"Nine and a half million"
"Ten Million"
The price of the ring rose by 500,000 yuan each time, and the only bidders were Lu Jiaming, Ruan Zhining and Zhou Shaoqing, and the others stopped bidding with the intention of watching the show.
The price of "11 million" has exceeded 10 million, and Lu Jiaming has not increased the price by 500,000, but 1 million!
Zhou Shaoqing looked at Chu Lingxin's delicate and pitiful eyes, gritted his teeth and continued to bid: "11.5 million"
Ruan Zhining was completely dismissive of Zhou Shaoqing's price increase: "Thirteen million"
"Fourteen million" Lu Jiaming followed closely behind to increase the price.
With bidding again and again, the price of this ring has been called to 20 million.
The only bidders were Lu Jiaming and Ruan Zhining. Zhou Shaoqing completely extinguished the fire, no matter how much Chu Lingxin liked this ring, he couldn't take it anymore, and his card was only 20 million in total. If Zhou Shixian knew, Zhou Shaoqing would inevitably be scolded, because it was impossible for Zhou Shixian to spend more than 20 million to let his son please a woman.
Ruan Zhining dared to spend tens of millions of dollars to shoot a ring, that was because the Ruan family was originally in the jewelry business, and such a rare treasure was hard to find.
Lu Jiaming's worth, not to mention tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, he has no pressure, these years, he and Qiao Chu have been doing business together, it is not a joke. So the last bid, Lu Jiaming directly increased the price from 25 million to 30 million at a price of 5 million.
As soon as the price of 30 million came out, everyone in the audience was quiet, and Mr. Lu really worked hard for the beauty........
Ruan Zhining gritted her teeth and looked at Lu Jiaming and Qiao Yin, thirty million, she calculated it, thirty million is already the limit for her personally, if she increases the price again....... it doesn't matter, no matter what, she wants to get this ring!
Ruan Qinqing on the side looked at Ruan Zhining messing around, held down Ruan Zhining's number plate and said, "Zhining, forget it, don't shoot it, it's just a ring." ”
Ruan Zhining shook off Ruan Qinqing's hand: "You don't care about my business, I didn't admit that you are my sister." ”
Ruan Zhining didn't know how many times she said this, Ruan Qin got used to it early in the morning, and then stopped stopping it.
"Thirty-five million," Ruan Zhining gritted her teeth and shouted the price.
"Shh.......h
Ruan Zhining is the charity ambassador of this charity auction, and she is also a popular movie star, and behind her is the Ruan family, who is in the jewelry business, and many people present know her. This Miss Ruan is really generous.........
Lu Jiaming still smiled gently, and without a trace of pressure, when he was about to raise the number plate again to increase the price, a low and lazy voice came from behind the venue.
"Forty-five million"
Another 10 million! Who is this?
Everyone looked at the voice, it was Huo Junyao!
Huo Junyao, who had never shown up, sat at the back of the venue with Erlang's legs crossed, playing with a delicate lighter in his hand, without even raising his eyelids, and said to the auctioneer again: "If someone still raises the price, I will add another 10 million on the basis of the increase until no one raises the price!"
After saying this, the audience exploded.
"Is this a foreign businessman who came to invest in this city some time ago?"
"Mr. Huo! He is Huo Junyao, the investor of the six-star hotel!"
"I've seen him, he's Mr. Huo! I saw him on the news a few days ago!"
The gentle smile on Lu Jiaming's face disappeared, and when he was about to raise the number plate, he was stopped by Qiao Yin, who shook his head at Lu Jiaming. No matter how much money is paid, the price will be increased by 10 million at a time, and in the end, it is still unknown how much this ring will cost, and it will only be a waste of money to bid again.
I have to say that Qiao Yin is still wise, it doesn't matter if she can't take this ring today, no matter who the ring is in her hand, in the end she will find a way to make the other party willingly give it to herself, it's nothing more than spending money......... Even if this ring is in Huo Junyao's hand!
Ruan Zhining's eyes were straight, the man she had been looking for appeared at the auction at this moment, and for a while, she didn't even bid again.
The auctioneer shouted three times in a row, 45 million, and finally smashed down and announced the sale.
