Chapter 730: A Rare Fancy Vivid Yellow Diamond
Seeing that although this bid was continuous, but not nervous, Fang You nodded slightly, although this rough diamond was one hundred carats and the purity was extremely high, it was not yet qualified to make people crazy.
What's more, the auction has just begun, and there will not be much fierce bidding at all, which is really different from the national treasure auctions held in small island nations.
Before the national treasure auction, Fang You had already held a number of fine antique auctions, such as Qi Nan agarwood, and three-legged gold black jade pendant, these auctions have made the two small island national treasures hot and become something that everyone is vying to buy.
Without these previous layouts, as soon as the small island country branch of Longyou Auction House opened, it would auction two small island country national treasures, I am afraid that it would never achieve such a great effect, and people's doubts and hesitations made the auction results simply unable to achieve the expected goals of Fang You.
It's just that after many auctions, almost everyone has developed trust in Longyou Auction House, and the benefits obtained by the person who auctioned the item, which is the main reason for the crazy auction of the national treasures of the small island nation.
However, now that this diamond auction is coming to the back, I am afraid that these people on the scene can no longer remain calm, and the appearance of colored diamonds is bound to make the on-site bidding fierce.
Before the auction, Fang You and Dong Qilin discussed the auction order of the ten diamonds, three colored diamonds, two of which were the finale, and the other was taken out in the middle of the auction to change the atmosphere of the scene.
"Three million dollars, Cartier jewelry." Not to be outdone, there are also some well-known international brands that not only let everyone watching the auction know about them, but also put huge pressure on their opponents.
Hearing the three words of Cartier, the scene couldn't help but let out a few exclamations, most people really did not expect that the auction held by Longyou Auction House in Africa would attract the world's top jewelry brand Cartier.
Cartier jewelry was born in Paris, because of its extraordinary creativity and perfect craftsmanship, so that their jewelry is active in the royal families of European countries, deeply loved by the princes and nobles, Cartier has been established for a hundred years, has won many praises, the most famous of which is the British King Edward VII praised as "the emperor's jeweler, the jeweler's emperor." ”
It can be said that Cartier is the leader of the world's jewelry industry, and its projects are not only jewelry, but also watches, stationery, leather goods, lighters, etc., which are known as Cartier boutique collections.
As soon as Cartier jewelry was sold, many people who were bidding withdrew from the competition, and now it is only the first lot, there is really no need to compete with this jewelry giant, it is better to give up and sell them a face.
Seeing that many people had withdrawn from the competition, the person in charge of Cartier Jewelry couldn't help but bow slightly to everyone and express their gratitude.
"Three two hundred and twenty thousand." Although some people have withdrawn from the competition, some people are still competing, and the one with the highest auction price will take the initiative to withdraw because others are strong, which is really a timid behavior.
The person in charge of Cartier Jewelry smiled and held up the sign, "Three million eight million." ”
"Three million eight thousand, this friend of Cartier jewelry bid three million eight million, and there are no friends who need to bid, three million eight hundred thousand for the first time...... The third time, the deal. "The auctioneer dropped the hammer heavily, signaling the sale of this first lot.
Although the auction bidding is not fierce, others can see that Dong Qilin and Fang You, who are sitting at the front, have no change on their faces, the auction has always been fierce in the second half, this first half is just an appetizer, Dong Qilin is in a peaceful mood, this thing really can't affect him, and Fang You, even if he finds this huge diamond mine, he is just a little surprised, his state of mind is no longer something that money can shake.
"Everyone, the transaction just now made the first auction of our Longyou auction house successfully opened, friends who did not get the auction don't worry, everyone knows that the lots of our auction house are naturally better than one piece, and the same is true for these ten rough diamonds, I believe that in the follow-up auction, you will definitely feel deeply shocked, below, let us invite the second lot." The auctioneer did not show that he was anxious to provoke his emotions, but said to everyone with a calm face.
The second lot is naturally a pure and transparent rough diamond, weighing one hundred and fifty carats, and the purity is also as high as VVS grade, the auctioneer picked it up, let everyone look at it, and then put it down and picked up the hammer, "Everyone, I believe you must have seen this rough diamond, now I announce that the second lot, weighing one hundred and fifty carats, the purity of the VVS rough diamond, the starting price is three million two thousand US dollars, and each increase shall not be less than ten thousand US dollars, starting now." ”
Seeing that Longyou Auction House took out a diamond weighing more than 100 carats again, everyone couldn't help but be a little amazed, it seems that this time Longyou Auction House really wants to take out ten rough stones of more than 100 carats for auction, and the weight is higher than the last, and the final finale item, they can't guess what weight they can reach, 300 carats, or 500 carats, everyone's hearts are full of expectations.
"Three million three thousand dollars, Mingpai jewelry." The person in charge of Mingpai Jewelry, one of the top ten famous jewelry brands in China, raised the sign.
"Three and a half million dollars, Enzo Jewelry." After the world-famous brand Cartier made a move, Enzo Jewelry did not hide its edge, and it is among the top ten famous brands in the world with Cartier.
"3.8 million ......" With the emergence of well-known brands, the competition for the second lot is obviously much tighter than the first.
Now it seems that the ten diamonds that Longyou Auction House wants to auction this time are definitely better than one another, and they really dare not guarantee that they can successfully auction the diamonds in the future.
In the end, the 150-carat rough diamond sold for $7.5 million, setting off a small ** in the first auction.
Then the auctioneer took out two diamonds for auction, their weight was 180 carats and 190 carats respectively, the degree of competition became a little fierce, the transaction price was 11 million US dollars and 16 million US dollars respectively, of which the 180 carat rough diamond was auctioned by a jewelry company in the square outside, through the telephone, and finally successfully auctioned the rough diamond for 11 million.
If they don't take advantage of the fact that the competition is not fierce now, they will quickly grab a large-weight rough stone, and wait until even rarer diamonds appear later, I am afraid that with the funds they have prepared, they will not even be qualified to bid.
These rough diamonds weighing more than 150 carats, after processing, the shaped diamond will undoubtedly exceed 100 carats, and rough stones weighing more than 100 carats are quite rare, not to mention more than 100 carats after diamond processing.
The competition became more and more fierce, and the price became higher and higher as the weight rose, and the officials of the Nigerian government who came to watch were a little shocked, according to this price increase, without a few hundred diamonds, these ten diamonds would be enough to make back half of the $500 million in land use and mining costs that Longyou Investment Company had paid before.
However, this official has no remorse in his heart, just because even if they get this diamond mine, with their ability, they can't mine it, regardless of whether Longyou Company knew that there would be a diamond mine in Gazaka before, but with the amount of money that Longyou Company brought to them, it was enough to make them a little grateful, if they were to change to Delbis Company, it would be very good to be able to come up with 100 million US dollars.
Compared with the strong Delbyss company, they are really willing to cooperate with Longyou Investment Company, Gazaka, where Longyou Investment Company is located, has become more and more prosperous, this time so many tourists came, which made Nigeria's economy improve a little, this is what Delbyss Company will not do at all, they will only continue to dig diamonds, and will not take into account the local environment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the auction has now reached the middle stage, and it is time for a heavyweight lot, now, let's use warm applause to invite out the fifth lot, this diamond, is definitely a treasure that you will not expect," the auctioneer said excitedly, such mysterious words, so that everyone's hearts were full of anticipation, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the stage.
A cheongsam beauty walked out of the backstage, still holding a tray in her hand, and in an instant, almost all of the six hundred people turned their heads to look at this beauty, and looked at this beauty with a calm look on her face, and there was a little nervousness.
"Everyone, this is a different kind of diamond, it is very different from the diamonds auctioned before, its beauty is not only in the eternity of the diamond, but also in its own color, the diamond we are going to auction next is ......" Speaking of this, the auctioneer paused, looked at the crowd, and then pulled the red cloth violently, showing the rough diamond in the tray in front of everyone's eyes.
"The fifth lot we are going to auction this time is this gold diamond, the weight of the rough is as high as 110 carats, the purity is also as high as VVS grade, what is more exciting is that the color of this gold diamond, reached a bright yellow, that is, we often say Fancy Vivid yellow diamond, everyone, although the yellow diamond is the most common in the color diamond, but Fancy Vivid yellow is extremely rare, in the world to identify the yellow diamonds, only about 5% is Fancy Vivid yellow, color diamonds have been very rare, Fancy vivid yellow naturally needless to say, everyone, what are you waiting forLet's applaud the appearance of this golden diamond. The auction shouted excitedly.
