Chapter 1370: The Crystal Heart

……

Moreover, in India, the influence of ****** religion is too great. This Quran is too cherished, and it is estimated that none of the rich people present who believe in ****** religion will give it up easily. Fierce competition is almost conceivable.

In addition, Liu Dong, who is thinking of befriending Said and coveting the Middle East oil market, is not willing to ruin his plan because of a work of art.

Without the competition of the richest man in the world, I am determined to obtain this Quran of the Rhodi Dynasty. ”

"Then I wish Mr. Said's last wish is fulfilled!"

"Hehe, thank you, thank you!"

After smiling slightly, Liu Dong glanced at Nancy, who was always looking at him with his eyes, and said, "Miss Nancy, I won't give up the Golconda diamond in the finale." ”

"As a man, don't you think it's ungentlemanly for Mr. Liu to compete with me as a little woman? Moreover, don't you all in China advocate that men should 'pity the fragrance and cherish the jade' when facing women? Why can't I feel these things in Mr. Liu?"

Nancy, who was silent more often, suddenly came out with such sharp words, even though he had been taught a few times when he was in Egypt, but now when he faced it, Liu Dong still felt a little uncomfortable.

"It seems that Miss Nancy knows quite a bit about our Chinese culture!"

"When I was studying at Columbia University, there were a lot of Chinese students there, and many of them were very good friends!"

"No wonder!" Looking at Nancy's bewitching and enchanting face with a hint of heroism, Liu Dong thought about it slightly, and smiled lightly, "Okay, since Miss Nancy has said so, if I don't take the initiative to back down, I'm afraid I will really be burdened with the name of 'pity and cherishing jade'......! If Miss Nancy can't make it to the end, she won't keep her promise!"

"A word is a certainty!" As the words fell, Nancy stretched out her white right hand towards Liu Dong.

"A word is a certainty!" After smiling slightly, Liu Dong also stretched out his right hand and patted the other party.

At this moment, Said, who was next to him, looked at the agreement between his sister and Liu Dong, smiled, and did not speak.

At this time, in order to compete for this Qur'an of the Radi Dynasty, the atmosphere of competition in the field became even more intense! The initial 500 million rupees has now become 1.53 billion rupees, which is equivalent to 16 million US dollars!

"Rs 2000 crore!"

Said, whose emotions had gradually become urgent, directly increased the price by one-third. And with his offer, the originally fierce competitive atmosphere disappeared immediately.

2 billion rupees, 22 million US dollars, obviously exceeded the market price of this golden Quran, and also exceeded the psychological expectations of most of the people present. It also shows Said's determination to achieve it.

As long as people who don't want to offend the Saudi royal family will think about it somewhat. But not all the giants present are buying the Saudi royal family's account.

"Rs 2.2 billion!"

Sitting on the table to the left of Liu Dong's table in the front row, a man in his thirties with distinctly South Asian characteristics raised the bidding plate in his hand, which was evident from the fact that he was bidding for the most important brand at Christie's, and apparently had a surprisingly strong background.

Perhaps sensing Liu Dong's gaze, the man walked over and nodded at him with a smile. Polite and decent, with a sense of intimacy, apparently well-educated, and from a superior family.

It is said that there is a nobleman in three generations, and now Liu Dong feels the etiquette emanating from the bones of the descendants of the century-old aristocratic family in the United Kingdom.

"Hmph, Rs 250 crore!"

Snorted coldly, and after glancing at his opponent, Said said without showing weakness.

"Rs 250 crore, Mr. 3 bid Rs 2.5 crore, is there anything higher?" the auctioneer's tone trembled in the face of such a high price. Apparently excited to the extreme. And this excitement, as well as the high-pitched voice, is also extremely provoking the adrenaline hormones in the bottom of the heart.

"Rs 2.6 billion!"

"Said, this price has nearly doubled the actual value of this Quran, there is no need to participate!" Nancy couldn't help but persuade.

"No, it's a gift I'm going to give my dad for his birthday next month, and I can't miss it...... Rs 280 crore!"

"Rs 2.9 billion!"

"Rs 300 crore!" Saeed said again.

"Rs 300 crore, Rs 300 crore, is there a higher price?"

Ignoring the inflammatory words of the auctioneer on the stage, and the excited and expectant eyes, the young man sitting next to him smiled slightly and put down the bidding card in his hand.

"Since Mr. Said liked this Qur'an of the Rhodi dynasty so much, and he did not want to be loved, I gave up...... To tell you the truth, I had intended to buy it as a gift for Mr. Said!...... now it seems!" the young man shrugged helplessly.

I have to say, this person is really good at talking. Let's not say whether the last sentence is true or false, but as soon as this sentence was said, the warm and angry look on Said's face obviously relaxed.

"Then I'm thankful!" Said said with a reluctant smile as he tugged at the corners of his mouth.

There is a saying that 'reach out and don't hit a smiling person', and this phrase is not only applicable in China.

"You're welcome, if I have the chance, I hope to have dinner with Mr. Said. Of course, it would be great if Mr. Liu Dong could also participate!"

Facing the other party's meaningful eyes, Liu Dong smiled slightly and did not answer.

"Ruth, your communication skills are still as good as ever, which is really admirable!" At this moment, sitting at the round table to the right hand of the young man, a young man of about thirty-four or five years of age, with black-rimmed eyes, a shrewd face, and a slightly thin face, suddenly spoke.

From the number 2 on the bidding board on his desk, it is clear that the other party also belongs to the category with extraordinary identity and deep background.

"Anil, when it comes to skillful wrists, I'm not as good as you as a Wharton graduate......!"

"Said, who are they?" asked Liu Dong softly.

"You don't know?"

"I pay less attention to India!"

Liu Dong has only been in the business world for five years, and most of his attention is usually focused on China, as well as the economically developed regions of the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan and Europe, and pays less attention to countries such as India and Brazil.

"No wonder...... The guy I was fighting with for the Quran was Ruth Tata, the eldest son of Ratan Tata, who is now the chairman of India's largest company, the Tata Group, and if nothing else, he will succeed the Tata Group as the fifth generation at the helm of the family. ”

As for the guy sitting next to him, his identity is not ordinary. His name is Anil Ambani, the second son of Drubai Hellachand Ambani, the founder of the Sindh Group, graduated from the world-renowned Wharton School of Business, and has extraordinary business talents, so he has a very big voice in the Sindh Group. However, after Drubai's death, he was already at odds with his brother Mukesh Ambani over the leadership of Sindh!"

"Tata Group, Xinde Group!" Liu Dong nodded knowingly.

Although he knows less about the Indian business community. But I have also heard about these two private giants in India, and even know about them.

"Guys, after more than two hours of auction, it's our turn to make the finale!

As the auctioneer's voice sounded, everyone who was still talking and arguing turned their eyes to see the big screens hanging on both sides of the auction table.

When a flawless heart-cut diamond the size of a pigeon's egg appeared on the clear display, everyone present couldn't help but marvel at its beauty.

"Allah is above, it's so beautiful!"

"Sure enough, it is worthy of Golconda's diamond, clean and beautiful, as if it does not belong to the world, but is a divine object from heaven!"

"The most beautiful treasure created by nature!"

Listening to the admiration, the auctioneer obviously showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"The Flawless Diamond 'Crystal Heart' from Golconda, the world's most famous diamond mining area, weight 105.34 carats, heart shape, purity D grade, clarity FL ......!"

In addition to weight, the two most important criteria for the preciousness of a diamond are purity and clarity, and D grade is almost the top color of the diamond!

It is these two criteria that highlight the preciousness of this 'crystal heart'.

“…… The starting price is Rs 150 crore and each price increase must not be less than Rs 25 million, now please bid for those who are interested!"

"To tell you the truth, Miss Nancy, now I regret the agreement I made with you just now!" Looking at the atmosphere in the field, although it is calm now, but the future is destined to be fierce, Liu Dong suddenly turned his head and said.

"Mr. Liu doesn't mean to regret it, is it? This is not what the richest man in the world should do!" Nancy said with a hint of triumphant joy in her eyes.

There is no woman who doesn't like diamonds, and at this moment, such a beautiful 'crystal heart' has long been teased by Nancy, who is eager to have it. And being able to squeeze Liu Dong, the most powerful competitor, out of the game before the fierce competition arrives, is obviously a reassuring and happy thing.

Facing Nancy's victorious eyes, Liu Dong shook his head and didn't say anything more. Diamonds are precious, but they don't make him backtrack.
