Chapter Ninety-Six: The King's Chosen Auction! (Fifth Update!!)
After five minutes, the lights in the conference dimmed, and the audience was silent.
An old presenter in a tuxedo and with a gentlemanly demeanor stood up on the stage to announce the official opening of the conference, and seven or eight pieces of precious jewelry in a vertical display case began to rise slowly from the stage floor.
"It's pretty cool. Chen Hao stared at this stage with a lot of admiration in his heart.
This kind of stage equipped with a liftable mechanism is a favorite of celebrities when they hold concerts, but I didn't expect to see it at this jewelry conference. This is enough to see the intentions of the organizers.
"Thank you to everyone here today, tonight we at the Jewellery Society will be selecting the King of the Year from the most luxurious jewels behind me. ”
"Thanks to the exhibits provided by the major jewelry brands, which will be sold in a live auction after the selection. A tenth of the proceeds from the auction will be used for charity. ”
"Let's take a look at the first exhibit to be judged tonight, the pearl necklace provided by Daifuku Jewelry. As soon as the old gentleman on the stage introduced, all the lights on the stage were focused on a vertical display case.
The pearl necklace began to be magnified and projected on the background LED of the stage, and a golden halo pearl in the middle, much larger than the small beads around it, attracted the attention of the audience.
When the old gentleman reported the parameters of this main bead, the audience was boiling!
"What? 20.66mm gold beads, plus 18 15mm gold beads to make a necklace?"
"What a big deal! This is definitely the pearl king of the year!"
"Daifuku Jewelry is off to a good start!"
Pearls with beauties, such a rare pearl king, it should fall into the hands of the most beautiful people!
Many female celebrities present were eager to snatch this pearl necklace off the stage and immediately wear it around their necks!
Sure enough, when the old gentleman on the stage announced that this pearl necklace had taken off the title of "Pearl King" assessed by the Jewelry Association this year. Far backstage at the exhibition, Zhou Dewang, who was following the scene through closed-circuit television, and the staff of Daifuku Jewelry, cheered excitedly and hugged each other.
"We succeeded!"
"Manager Zhou, no, no, no! It should be called Mr. Zhou! Let's win the title of Pearl King!" Xiao Liu, Zhou Dewang's follower, also congratulated his boss excitedly.
"After more than half a year of preparation, it was finally not in vain! Looking at the auction price, there should be no problem in returning the original price, right?" Zhou Dewang was overjoyed and won the title of King of Pearls, and at the end of the year, the position of general manager of Daifuku Jewelry was probably not gone.
However, he is still quite concerned about the auction price of the bead king necklace that he has carefully created. If the auction price is not high, it is estimated that the people in the head office will also have complaints, and it will be another matter to compete for the position of general manager at that time.
Fortunately, all the people who came to this scene were not bad at money, and after several shouts, this annual pearl king was pushed to an astonishing price of 38 million!
And the cost of this necklace: 1 main bead purchased by 20 million, plus 18 15mm secondary beads of hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of manpower processing fees, the total cost is about 25 million.
According to the current price of 38 million, it has been a premium of more than 50%!
But the women at the scene, who were either rich or noble, were all crazy and holding cards in order to compete for this pearl king necklace.
38 million!
40 million!
41 million!
It wasn't until a well-known lady in the business circle shouted out the sky-high price of 45 million that no one continued to report it.
"Congratulations to the lady 960C for winning this pearl king necklace, please go to the backstage to hand over the payment after the exhibition, and we will arrange a special person to escort you home. The old gentleman smiled, as the hammer man of the auction, he could get more commission for every little price increase in the lot.
As for Zhou Dewang, who controls the overall situation in the background, after seeing the hammer price of 45 million, he even said the words "stable" and "stable", obviously he has a full grasp of the promotion of his position.
On the VIP seat, Chen Hao, who was watching this jewelry auction, kept muttering in his heart after seeing such a high auction price: "These women are really fucking rich!"
"It cost almost 50 million to buy a pearl necklace, and I'm not afraid of a crooked neck band?"
With the opening of the Pearl King necklace and the stimulation of the money increase, the atmosphere of the conference site was successfully pushed to the top by the auction of exhibits.
For example, the two major categories of the finale, jade and diamond are the king's choice.
One is the imperial green jadeite pendant with a hammer price of 180 million yuan, and the other is the South African pink diamond ring that was successfully sold at 230 million yuan, which blinded the eyes of all the guests present.
Take hundreds of millions to buy jewelry, the world's most ruined local tyrant can't do this kind of thing!
It can only be said that these buyers have money!
Aside from being rich, what other fucking words can you use to describe this?
Is it rich and capricious?
This can't be regarded as capricious!
Even Chen Hao, who came with the mentality of onlookers, was stunned by the successive auction prices, and kept sighing in his heart: "There is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger in the imperial capital, and the price of a piece of jewelry is enough to be a top rich man in our Ruicheng!"
……
At the end of the auction for various purposes, the huge amount of money obtained from the auction not only made the real owners of those exhibits, the major jewelry houses, make a lot of money, but also opened the eyes of the guests present.
"That's the end of tonight's conference, but don't leave in a hurry, there will be salons in various jewelry categories in this room later. I hope that tonight, every guest present can harvest their own satisfying collections. As soon as the old gentleman reported the scene, the audience stood up and applauded.
"The show is coming!" Chen Hao hooked the corners of his mouth, and the [Defending the National Treasure] task in his mind had already started the countdown.
It's just that when he was about to get up and go to the backstage of the exhibition hall to carry out the escort mission, Zhou Dewang, who had been waiting by the stage for a long time, stopped him with a smile on his face.
"Manager Zhou, congratulations on winning the title of Pearl King! You Dafu Jewelry should have made a lot of money this time, right?" Chen Hao congratulated.
"Brother Chen Hao said with a smile, if it weren't for your big gold pearl, this year's title of Pearl King might fall on our heads!"
"I had heard that Zhou Shengsheng Jewelry had prepared a 19mm black pearl finale, but after they heard your 20mm gold bead, they were so frightened that they immediately put away the black pearl king, planning to compete for next year's session. Zhou Dewang joked proudly with a spring breeze on his face.
Many jewelry collectors who have not yet dispersed also discussed in a low voice after seeing Zhou Dewang's rather familiar face.
"Isn't that Zhou Dewang, the department manager of Daifuku Jewelry, who seems to be very familiar with that young man!"
"You are an old Huang Li, I heard that this Zhou Dewang will be the general manager of Ma Tai Fook Jewelry next year. ”
"Oh, the general manager of Daifuku Jewelry, that's terrible!"
"I'll just say that this young man is not simple, right? What kind of person is he, what kind of social circle does he have!"
"Don't worry about the others, let's go to the salon first! ”
