The Pink Star is the largest pink diamond in existence, and this is indisputable.

Historically, there has been a larger pink diamond, but that diamond, after being polished several times, is now only 59 carats, a little smaller than it was at auction.

And the pink diamond, which was originally named "Sea of Light" and later renamed "Eye of Light", is not as pure as this pink star.

At the beginning of the 17th century, in the Golconda Valley of India, tens of thousands of Indian slaves excavated sand and gravel in the Koral Mine there, and dozens of tons of variegated quartz gravel, they found a special stone - pure and transparent with a light rose red, weighing 787 carats, which was the predecessor of the famous diamond called "Eye of Light" - "Sea of Light".

At the time, it was the largest piece of pink gemstone diamond in the world.

However, after several owners, the diamond was polished to less than 60 carats, which is not as large as the "Pink Star".

The "Bright Eye" is now set in the center of the crown of the King of Iran!

……

Although this "pink star" caused a sensation on the scene, after the actual bidding began, there were not many people holding up their cards. Because the price is so high, the vast majority of people are not eligible to participate in the auction at all.

"55 million!"

Zhou Jin raised the bidding card and directly pushed the price up by $5 million.

Zhou Jin is now the general manager of Chow Tai Fook Group and the successor of the group, and is in his thirties.

In recent years, under his leadership, Chow Tai Fook Group's business scale has expanded rapidly, and all the four major jewelry designers in Hong Kong have also been recruited by Chow Tai Fook.

Although Chow Tai Fook is very famous in Hong Kong and the mainland, it is much less famous in Asia, especially on other continents.

This auction of "Pink Star" is also a marketing plan planned by Zhou Jin.

If this rare treasure can be photographed, then Chow Tai Fook's fame will surely leave a deep impression on the top rich.

You know, a jewelry store can only attract the real rich to visit if it has a large number of top-quality jewelry.

And the top jewelry is the most profitable.

The price increase of 5 million at a time directly made many people dispel the idea of competing with Zhou Jin for this diamond.

"56 million. ”

A person with a treasure island accent also held up a sign to bid the price.

This treasure island person, Zhou Jin knows, is also a peer, the owner of the largest jewelry store on the treasure island. Obviously, the other party also has the same mind as Zhou Jin.

"60 million!"

Zhou Jin didn't give in, jumped the price again, and shouted to 60 million, OnePlus is 4 million US dollars, this is clearly telling the other party, don't fight, you don't have money as me!

There was a commotion at the scene, and those who could come to participate in the jewelry auction more or less knew some common sense about jewelry.

Now this auction price, the 60-carat Pink Star, is already 1 carat and a million dollars!

And what is the price of a common diamond on the market?

1 carat, VG cut, I color, VS clarity, with GIA report, international price of about $5,500.

At this price, the 60-carat Pink Star is only $330,000, but it has now been raised to a sky-high price of $60 million.

Is it Chow Tai Fook's successor Zhou Jin and that treasure island jeweler who have water in their brains, obviously not.

Diamonds can't be measured by weight like gold, this thing belongs to the gemstone category, and the price depends on clarity, color and size!

To put it simply, the larger the diamond, the more valuable it is, and the price rises by a geometric progression.

A 1-carat diamond costs about $5,500, while a 10-carat diamond can cost millions of dollars!

And more than 50 carats, that is a priceless treasure! How many years may not have appeared on the market, which is why the 60-carat pink star was shouted to 60 million US dollars.

Scarcity is expensive!

Sure enough, Zhou Jin's shouting price forced back the competitor, and the other party shook his head and smiled bitterly, obviously thinking that the risk to buy Pink Star at this price was too big and not worth it.

Both of them are in the jewelry business, and of course have had a detailed assessment of how much the Pink Star is worth.

After the auction is taken, it has been redesigned and it is also estimated at what price it will be sold.

Therefore, their bidding is not arbitrary, and they all have their own upper limit, once the price reaches the upper limit, they will never be reckless, and will choose to give up decisively.

Because their bidding is not to buy something they like, it is just a business investment.

Seeing that the scene was cold and the scene was silent, the auctioneer hurriedly spoke.

This pink star is the world's largest and highest clarity pink diamond, this rare treasure, how many years can you meet it, if you miss it, it's too late to regret it!"

Sitting in the corner, Jihad was very calm, he knew that Wang Ye participated in this auction, and the target was this pink star.

The real big customers haven't made a move yet!

As he expected, Wang Ye saw that no one was shouting anymore, so he raised the bidding card.

"65 million. ”

Zhou Jin turned his head to look at Wang Ye in astonishment, he didn't know this young man, obviously not a peer who made jewelry.

Ordinary people don't buy this kind of huge diamond, because even if they buy it back, they still need to be designed and processed again.

And to be honest, this diamond is too huge and too expensive, and the billionaires are reluctant to buy it.

Except for him, who is in the jewelry business and bids for investment purposes, who would casually take out hundreds of millions of cash to buy a diamond, and it is an undesigned diamond?

However, Wang Ye's price has been shouted out, and Zhou Jin must also shout again, and he doesn't want to give up yet.

"66 million!"

At this price, Zhou Jin does not have the courage to increase the price by several million each time.

Wang Ye smiled indifferently: "70 million." ”

Hearing this price, Zhou Jin was a little skeptical that Wang Ye was arranged by Christie's!

Before participating in the auction, he studied with the company's jewelry experts for a long time, and finally came up with the highest price of 70 million US dollars!

If it is auctioned below this price, then after their design and reprocessing, it will be able to make a profit.

But if the price is higher, the risk is very high.

Therefore, Zhou Jin's psychological price is 70 million US dollars.

Now Wang Ye's fixed price has reached 70 million, which is just stuck at Zhou Jin's psychological price.

It's hard to see if I want to bid again.

Zhou Jin fell into a fierce psychological struggle, and it was difficult to choose for a while.

"Is there any bidding?70 million for the first time!"

The auctioneer is already on the stage and the countdown has begun.

"71 million!"

Zhou Jin still gritted his teeth and participated in the auction again, which was already higher than his expected price, but he was unwilling, and the extra 1 million was even if he paid for his unwillingness.

In fact, if there are tens of millions of dollars more, they Chow Tai Fook Group will also pay for it.

But he participated in the auction this time, representing the company, and he can't let him do whatever he wants. If he really competes with Wang Ye and finally comes up with a sky-high price of hundreds of millions, even if it is auctioned, it is estimated that his ability and self-control will be questioned by the company's senior management.

Moreover, Chow Tai Fook is a listed company, and he will even be questioned by shareholders.

Wang Ye has already seen that this competitor has reached the end of the crossbow.

"75 million. ”

This price made Zhou Jin completely lose his mind to bid, this young man who spoke standard Mandarin really didn't take money as money!

Zhou Jin's seat was very close to Wang Ye, he put down the bidding card, and said to Wang Ye with a graceful smile: "Congratulations, you won." ”

Wang Ye also smiled and nodded: "I agreed." ”

The price is called to this share, and everyone present knows that this is a settled dust.

Jihard was ecstatic, he expected the diamond to fetch $65 million, and now it is a full $10 million higher than he expected!

There is no standard price for this kind of thing, and how much it can be sold depends entirely on how much the person participating in the auction likes it, and of course, it also depends on how strong the financial resources of the person who likes it.

Obviously, today I met Wang Ye, a person who both likes and has strong financial resources, and I was auctioned at a high price that exceeded expectations.

"75 million for the first time!"

"75 million for the second time!"

"75 million for the third time!"

"Smack!" The auction hammer fell, and Wang Ye successfully bid for the pink star.

The audience gave a standing ovation and congratulated Wang Ye.

At the auction, it was an honor for all participants to witness such a record-breaking bid.

The Pink Star was also the last bid in the "Magnificent Jewels and Jadeite Jewels" auction, which officially concluded.

As soon as the end of the session, Zhou Jin got up and came to Wang Ye, took out his business card, and handed it over with both hands: "Hello, I am Zhou Jin, general manager of Chow Tai Fook Group." ”

Of course, he wants to know more rich people who are in the jewelry business, and these are all potential customers.

Hearing Zhou Jin's self-introduction, Wang Ye was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect that this person who competed with himself turned out to be Chow Tai Fook's successor.

"Pengcheng, Wang Ye. ”

Wang Ye also took out his business card and handed it to Zhou Jin.

He didn't introduce his name because it was difficult to do so, and it was as if he was showing off.

Chairman of Huashang International, Chairman of Meigo.com, Chairman of Weiye Jiahua Group, Chairman of Fuhua Cosmetics Company, Director of Xingguang Commercial Real Estate, Director of Wanfeng Real Estate Group......

How do you introduce this large list of titles?

So just keep it simple and give your name.

Zhou Jin took the business card with both hands, looked at it carefully, and said in surprise: "It turns out that you are Wang Dong, you have heard of the name for a long time!"

His words were not polite, but a real long-term name.

Every year's Forbes rich list, Zhou Jin has to carefully study it to see who has increased his net worth, those who have shrunk, and who have made it to the rich list.

There is also a lot of business information revealed in this.
