Chapter 1001: Auction (4)
Shakespeare said, "Jewels are silent, but they move a woman's heart more than any language." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Men have good rights, women love jewelry, it is almost a consensus, so the hero wears a sword, and the jewelry wears a beautiful woman.
The music is lit and the costumed models appear in the sunset halfway to the seaside, wearing dazzling jewels, and dazzling their light steps, the corners of their skirts fluttering in the wind, and the variety of jewels as gorgeous as the glow of the sun.
The host's indifferent and elegant chant sounded in his ears: "Women and jewelry, a good woman is as beautiful and brilliant as jewelry." Looking back on the glorious history of human development, since the end of matriarchal society, if a good man is a mountain, a sea, a long river, the sun, and gold, then a good woman is a plain, a lake, a stream, a moon, and a jewel. The two are interdependent and indispensable, and the two are mutually experiential, yin and yang, and have jointly achieved the development of human beings, especially the unique motherhood of women, and the greatness of selflessness and selflessness, and the reproduction and growth of human beings, which is really indispensable.
There is nothing more boring and beautiful in the world than jewelry. It can neither be eaten nor used, and its only function is to hang it in the most conspicuous position on a woman's body to remind others; This woman really has taste, this woman really knows how to live.
In addition to the soul that can distinguish between right and wrong, the most precious thing in the world is diamond jewelry........."
With the host's poetic words, one by one the precious jewelry pieces were displayed by the models, and the climax was always left at the end, and finally the "GUN. AND. ROSE" caused the audience to exclaim as soon as she appeared.......
The host introduced: "I don't need to say more about this jewelry, I think everyone has heard of it, there are four pieces in the world, created by the jewelry master Victor Castellan himself, the first one is in the hands of Her Royal Highness Princess Beatrice of the United Kingdom, one is in the hands of Natasha Polly, the most valuable female star in Hollywood, and one is in the "Garrard Jewelry Exhibition Hall", which is the last treasure available for sale, the rose gold gun is inlaid with a total of 218 four-C grade diamonds, and the setting is made of eighteen carats of "star sapphire" composition, while the muzzle erupts roses carved from twenty-one carats of natural rubies....... I hope it can find its destiny here today......."
Xu Qinning waved the auction number plate in his hand and said, "This 'GUN. AND. ROSE's BEAUTIFUL...... It's a pity that roses are not made of pigeon's blood........ But this one is also worth collecting..... If there aren't many people waiting to rob you, I'll take a picture......."
Liu Huaming saw this diamond pistol that emitted a strange light under the spotlight, and her heartbeat began to accelerate, fantasizing about how eye-catching it would be to wear it on her neck, compared to the Cartier on her body was simply cheap, she wanted to ask about how much it was, but she felt unspeakable, so she could only echo: "It's really beautiful, if the price is right, I want to take a picture........"
Su Yuxi also said: "From an investment point of view, this is also a good collection, but unfortunately we are not the kind of people who add value to jewelry, but one day we will become the kind of woman who makes ordinary objects priceless......
Liu Huaming felt that Su Yuxi had said that she was in her heart, and her dream was to become such a woman, and everything she had worn could be auctioned, what a fame that moved the world.......
As the auction began, the scene began to fall silent and the auction began in the order in which it was exhibited, with the first lot being the Oval Ceylon Sapphire Ring, a 12-carat oval Ceylon Sapphire Ring surrounded by 14 white gold diamonds.
As the auctioneer's clear voice began to bid, the reserve price was 200,000 US dollars, and each increase was 10,000 US dollars, and finally the hammer fell at 330,000 US dollars, about 2.3 million Huaxia coins, which was pocketed by a Beijing celebrity......
Then came a version of the "Sapphire Jubilee" necklace for the 65th anniversary of Elizabeth II's accession to the throne, with a reserve price of $350,000, and finally sold for $570,000, which was auctioned by a Shanghai celebrity........
The whole auction seems to have formed two groups, the Beijing group and the Shanghai group, while the other places failed to hold together, they were all attached to the two groups, and the lots were also tacitly auctioned in turn, Liu Huaming also tried to raise the card a few times, the feeling of heartbeat and blood surging was very exciting, the moment the card was raised, all eyes were focused on you, giving her a false pleasure......
Xu Qinning did not raise her sign until the penultimate lot, "Tudor Rose Crown", began to be auctioned, and this magnificent crown set off the first wave of fierce bidding.....
The tiara is inspired by the 15th-century Tudor coat of arms of England, and was designed to commemorate the marriage between Lancaster and the House of York, merging the coats of arms of the two families, the red rose and the white rose, into a red and white "Tudor rose", which is still preserved on the 20p coin in England.
The host pointed to the crown worn on the model's head and said in a passionate voice: "This crown is mainly red, blue and green, and you can see 9.96ct of red spinel, 7.24ct of blue spinel and 8.48ct of green tourmaline center stone." The crown holder is openwork in the shape of a cluster of "Tudor roses", with petals outlined with bright diamonds and stamens made of small coloured gemstones such as pink sapphires, tanzanites and tsavorites, which echo the hue of the center stone. The designer uses openwork techniques and coloured gemstone settings to reinterpret this traditional motif that has been around for more than 500 years........"
In the shouts of the host, the price of the crown with a reserve price of one million US dollars came to 1.78 million US dollars, and at this time, only Xu Qinning and Feng Baobao, the descendant of the founding father, were left on the field....
Liu Huaming was shocked by the exciting scene in front of her, at this time, every time the price was increased by 100,000 US dollars, Xu Qinning beside her made her feel frightened every time she raised a card, looking at Xu Qinning's calm look, Liu Huaming had an urge to raise her hand herself.
There was silence all around, only the auctioneer's voice echoed in the sea breeze: "Two million six hundred thousand, No. 7 Miss Xu! for the first time" Feng Baobao smiled at Xu Qinning, indicating that he would give up, Xu Qinning also nodded politely and smiled, and then the auctioneer called again: "Two million six million US dollars, No. 7 Miss Xu!" ”
As the hammer fell, the lights on the stage began to flicker, and the auctioneer reached out to wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "Congratulations to Miss Xu on No. 7 for winning this priceless crown.......
Applause erupted, Xu Qinning also stood up and bowed slightly, Liu Huaming was also infected by this atmosphere, there was an inexplicable excitement, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the dust settle.
Next up is the much-anticipated 'GUN. AND. ROSE', the reserve price starts at $1.5 million, and this time many people who did not originally raise their cards have raised their bidding number plates, and many of them are coming for this limited edition lot......
Soon the price was pushed to two million dollars, and Su Yuxi said to Liu Huaming: "Sister Ming, don't you like it?
Liu Huaming's heart is like a thousand sails, two million US dollars, more than 12 million Huaxia coins, and her entire net worth is only more than 30 million Huaxia coins, except for a part of Su Yuxi's help she made from stock trading, other income can be said to be all hard work and selling her body in exchange....... Do you really want to raise a sign?
Xu Qinning, who was sitting on the side, chuckled: "Sister Ming, don't think about the price if you like it, it's hard to buy a favorite, jewelry is the fairy tale color of our girlhood, and it is the crown on our heads after adulthood." Every brilliant gem and jade piece you own contains the wonder of personal success and self-improvement. We are not housewives who revolve around the stove all day long, we have a career we love, we have our own firm goals, we have lovers to fall into, and the woman who wears jewelry is gorgeous and rich, and she is the uncrowned queen of spirit and material. ”
This sentence made Liu Huaming feel that she had a sense of humiliation of being looked down upon, and there was an urge that I wanted to fit into this circle and become the focus, so the current rushed from her body, and Liu Huaming's heart was hot, and she raised the bidding number plate in her hand.......
"Two million three thousand, number nineteen!"
Hearing the auctioneer read the nineteenth, Liu Huaming felt that life was like an auction house, who is qualified to bid and has the courage to raise a card, the glory is his, and she also wants to become the woman who can control her own destiny.......
As the price continues to rise, the atmosphere of the whole auction becomes more and more intense and excited, the price has risen to three million, and there are four people who are holding up their cards, Feng Baobao, who returned in the crown lot, another Hu Mingyuan who came with Xu Qinning, Liu Huaming, and another celebrity whose name she can't name.......
Every time she raised the card, Liu Huaming's mood was agitated, and her hands were full of sweat holding the bidding number plate, and every bidding made her heart beat faster, hoping that the auctioneer could drop the hammer, and hoping that others could quickly take things away, but every time she heard the auctioneer's voice in her ears, she would clench the number plate in her hand, hold back the trembling and raise her hand again.......
She doesn't want to be a little person, she also wants to be a member of the group standing on the top of the mountain and seeing the mountains, as if what she is buying at the moment is not a jewel, but a ticket, a ticket to the pinnacle of life.......
At this time, once again, only Feng Baobao and Liu Huaming were left, and the other two celebrities who had been running with them gave up the auction and forced the price of four million, the price of twenty-seven million was already a bit too high, if it was a pigeon's blood ruby, the price was worth adding 10 million, but it was only a natural ruby, it was not very cost-effective.......
As a celebrity, she still has the basic ability to evaluate jewelry, but Liu Huaming has no basic knowledge of this at all, and she just has a breath in her heart that supports her bidding........
Xu Qinning, who was on the side, patted the arm of Liu Huaming, who was a little crimson, and said, "Sister Ming, if you have momentum, I appreciate your attitude, don't be ......."
Xu Qinning's calm smile relaxed Liu Huaming's tense spirit, and also made her feel a little annoyed by her performance in front of Su Yuxi and Xu Qinning.......
The auctioneer began to shout, "Nineteenth, Miss Liu, four million dollars!"
Su Yuxi looked at all this coldly, and calculated that this amount should have reached the limit of Liu Huaming, so he put the No. 11 auction number plate in his hand on the table, Feng Baobao was sitting in front of Su Yuxi's back, seeing this subtle movement, Feng Baobao seemed to raise his hand and slowly put it down, smiled at Liu Huaming, and did not raise the auction number plate in his hand again........
