Occasionally, I glanced at the fan leaderboard, and I actually saw the name of the 'blood red' god on it, and I was a little surprised in an instant!
Chapter 1042 100 grams of diamonds
……
Liu Dong, who made frequent shots throughout the auction process, completely made Bai Quan and Ren Guohui next to him go from surprise to shock, from shock to numbness, and finally became a habit.
They also understood that this compatriot in front of them, who looked a few years older than them, was really a master who was not bad for money, and after a while, nearly 15 million dollars had already been spent by him!
Of course, so much money was spent, and almost thirty-seven antiques were exchanged for Liu Dong!
And in his own opinion, it was worth it to buy these antiques with this little money. If you go to the auctions of Christie's and Sotheby's, you will have to pay twice as much, or even higher, if you want to buy an antique of the same grade!
Of course, when rejoicing, people always do not perceive the passage of time. By the time more than 100 lots were all auctioned, the midday sun had disappeared, and the night had once again reigned over the land, and the surroundings were brightly lit!
At 8 p.m., the auction finally came to the most anticipated finale!
The Enor Diamond, also known as the "Mountain of Light", is the first of the eight diamonds in the world, and now weighs 105.6 carats. Legend has a history of 3,000 years, through the vicissitudes of life, witnessing countless true love in the world, the British Governor Lord Lord Helch in the last century dedicated this oldest large diamond to Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom. Since then, "Enor Diamond" has become synonymous with the finest diamonds. Today, this ancient diamond from the Coral Mine in India is the most striking of the 2,800 diamonds in the British crown, and it is a great honour that we have once again acquired a beautiful diamond from the Coral Mine! Under your witness, I have found a new owner who is upright, rich and sincere!"
After the auctioneer Inclar finished speaking, under heavy protection, a slender Pakistani beauty walked up with a tray in both hands!
After Inclar lifted the red silk covering the tray, everyone couldn't help but stretch their necks to look into the tray!
"It's beautiful!"
Bai Quan, who was a little dizzy, couldn't help but say.
And after glancing at him, Liu Dong couldn't help admiring this diamond in his heart. It's really beautiful!
Cut into a heart-shaped white diamond, it emits a hazy brilliance under the surrounding light, and the pure and transparent texture seems to represent the cleanest color in the world.
And looking at its shape the size of a walnut, the weight is not inferior to the 'Mountain of Light' that was finally set in the Queen's crown!
Looking at the fascinated eyes of everyone and the exclamations that rang out from time to time in the crowd, the auctioneer Inclar was secretly satisfied.
“…… This colorless diamond from the Koral mine in India originally weighed 312.34 carats and was carefully crafted. Now it has been reduced to 112.79 carats. Although the weight has been reduced by more than half, it makes the diamond even more sparkling! It will also be the grand finale of the auction here with a reserve price of $5 million, with a minimum increase of $100,000 each time, and the auction is now open!"
Unexpectedly, after the auctioneer Inclar's words, the pin drop could be heard among the guests under the auction table, and the atmosphere of scrambling to bid before seemed to have never existed!
"What's going on? Isn't there anyone who wants this diamond?" Bai Quan said in surprise when he felt the strange atmosphere in the field.
"Nope. On the contrary, it's because everyone wants it that makes it harder to bid! But the auctioneer won't let it last long!"
As if to confirm Liu Dong's words. After noticing the eerie atmosphere in the venue, Inclar on the auction table gave a look to the 'To' who had sat in the corner and had arranged in advance.
"5.1 million!"
The sudden sound quickly broke the silence of the previous crowd, and then an offer of '5.2 million' US dollars came out!
'5.3 million', '5.4 million', '5.5 million'!
It was originally like a heart-shaped diamond of hundreds of carats that no one cared about, but in the blink of an eye, the price skyrocketed. In less than half a minute, the auction price has risen to $8 million!
With such a rapid price increase, Bai Quan and Ren Guotao, the two poor dicks who didn't have much money left in their pockets, were dumbfounded!
It was the first time for them to participate in this kind of auction, and at this moment they really saw what it means to be rich, and what it means to really 'spend a lot of money and spend a lot of money'!
Of course, all this is just foreplay in Liu Dong's view. The current auction price has not yet reached the real market price of hundreds of carats of diamonds, so he did not join in at the first time!
As the bidding price got closer to $14 million, the number of bidders became smaller and smaller. By the time the price crossed 15 million and reached 15.5 million, there were only two people left in the auction!
"15.7 million!"
Looking at the bidding sign raised by Liu Dong, Bai Quan and Ren Guotao, who were sitting next to him, almost stared out their eyes, their faces full of disbelief!
The concept of Liu Dong having money in my heart has been raised to a level again!
And the eyes of the audience also focused on Liu Dong's body, with curious, exclamation, inquiry, envy, and jealous eyes.
But Liu Dong's appearance is obviously not good news for the two who are participating in the bidding!
"Mr. No. 56 bids 15.7 million! Is there anything higher?" the auctioneer who was surprised in his heart hurriedly said loudly.
For him, the more people compete, the higher the final transaction price, and he can get more commissions from it, which is all money!
"Qasim, I gave up this time, you still have to compete with this friend from China!"
A middle-aged man with a slightly obese figure and a round face with a bit of a Buddha statue looked at Liu Dong a few times and put down the bidding sign in his hand.
Then, a thin man wore a small blue hat and long, narrow eyes. After the middle-aged man with a bit of ruthlessness in his eyes snorted coldly at the other party, his eyes focused on Liu Dong's body.
After looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, the thin man Qasim held up the sign again and said loudly: "15.8 million!"
"15.9 million!" Liu Dong's offer followed.
But just after he made an offer, his left arm was pulled by Isakra, who was sitting on his right side, and then he heard the other party whisper: "Don't bid again, Qasim is the most famous gangster in Peshawar." If you're targeted by him, you'll die!"
"It's okay, I can't stay in Peshawar for a few days anyway, he can't help me!" Liu Dong smiled.
"You ......!
Seeing that Liu Dong didn't listen to the advice, Yishak sighed and didn't say anything more. After all, everyone is just a meeting in Pingshui, there is no need to attract Kassim's attention for Liu Dong and provoke the other party's revenge!
"16 million!"
"16.1 million!"
Liu Dong did not back down, no matter how powerful Kassim was, he was just another 'Murati'-style earth overlord. There are no conditions for him to be afraid and stop at all!
What's more, Liu Dong also fell in love with this diamond!
All over the world, it is really difficult to truly exceed 100 carats of pure natural diamonds, each of which is a national treasure that can have an independent name and leave a name in history!
Such a beautiful work of art created by nature and humanity, if you don't touch it, forget it, but if you do, you must not let it go!
"16.2 million!"
"16.3 million!"
Looking at Liu Dong's unyielding bidding, the thin man named Qasim was about to drip with a gloomy face!
And the people around were quite surprised to see this scene. It's the first time they've seen someone in Peshawar who dares to give Qasim such a faceless face!
What's more, the other party is still a foreigner!
"What's your name?" Qasim said gloomily.
"No comment!"
Looking at Liu Dong's indifferent expression, Kassim looked angry. But after all, he still didn't have a seizure at the scene, and after glaring at Liu Dong fiercely, he said in a grim tone: "Very good, I remember you!"
A brief exchange between the two made the people around them start to talk in private, especially the one who fought with Qasim for the diamond at the beginning. But the fat man, who quickly withdrew after Liu Dong's bidding, looked at Liu Dong with a strong interest in his eyes.
Being looked at like this by a man almost didn't give Liu Dong goosebumps!
But what made Liu Dong happy was that at this moment, Qasim finally stopped!
"Congratulations No. 56, this rare diamond weighing 112.79 carats belongs to you!"
As an auctioneer, Inkral didn't care about the conflict between Liu Dong and Qasim. As long as the other party can afford to buy diamonds, then the life and death of the two hairs have nothing to do with him.
Compared to Qasim, who only reigned in Peshawar, the forces behind Inclar are stronger, so he has nothing to fear!
"Now please come to me and pay a deposit of 30% of the winning lot! Of course, if you want to take the lot on the spot, you must pay the full amount!"
After listening to the auctioneer's words, Liu Dong turned around and said, "You two are waiting for me here for the time being, and I'll pay the money first!"
"Be careful!" Bai Quan said.
"Yes!"
After nodding, Liu Dong turned around and walked to the place in line.
When everyone saw him come forward, they all approached to see who this Chinese who dared to work against Qasim in Peshawar, who was sacred!
Liu Dong, who has gradually become accustomed to being in the limelight, can now ignore these scrutinizing eyes!
"This gentleman is from China, right?"
Hearing this non-standard Chinese, Liu Dong turned his head in surprise, and immediately saw the fat man who dared to Kasim at the auction before him!
After a brief glance at the other party, Liu Dong nodded, "That's right, I'm Chinese!"
