Section 145 Auctions
"Did Mr. Joseph come to China to do business? Or are you here for a tour? ”
"Heh, there's a little business to talk about. By the way, I accompanied someone to come over for a walk. ”
"Mr. Joseph's wife?"
"No, but I wish she could be my wife."
"Oh, that's impressive......"
There was a conversation without a pair, walking into the venue, the auction had already begun, most of the people gathered here at this time were celebrities in Jianghai City, the seats were not full, and they found a place in the middle for the drunken Fang Yusi to sit down, then Joseph said goodbye, and wanted to turn around and go out to find someone, and when he turned around, he seemed to find that the person he was looking for had walked in, so he smiled and waved his hand, and also sat down on the side.
With her eyes a little hazy, Fang Yusi looked back, only to see two women, one big and one small, the big one was the blonde woman who patted her back in the bathroom, and the little girl who followed her was dressed in a white shirt and jeans, wearing a small blue hat, with a neat appearance, but the expression on her little face was obviously a little unhappy.
"Hey, Marilyn, Heidi, I was thinking of going over to you."
"Thank you." The blonde woman smiled and nodded, and sat down next to her, while the little girl sat further along.
"I looked at the items in this auction today, and there are a lot of good things to sell, Heidi, maybe there will be something you like."
"Hmph." Joseph's voice was soft, but the little girl looked at him angrily with her cheeks on her cheeks. "I'm not interested, Mommy and I were going to wait for someone, but he called and missed the appointment, so we had to come over to have a look."
"Oh? Is it Heidi's friends here? ”
"It's none of your business!"
Although the conversation between the three of them was in English, Fang Yusi could hear it clearly, and this act of "eavesdropping" on the side made a dark sense of pleasure rise in her heart, and it was obvious that this handsome and manly Joseph wanted to pursue the woman named Marilyn. Regardless of the other party's perception, the little girl named Heidi obviously didn't like this person to pursue her mother, but didn't the person they were waiting for not come? Hmph, that's a good feeling. May there be lovers in the world...... I can't become a dependent......
Cry, be sad, this is our world, what you want...... Never get ......
The effect of alcohol magnified the pessimism and discomfort in his heart, Fang Yusi thought while looking at the auction ahead. The little girl was holding her cheeks in a huff, and Joseph and Marilyn were talking about something.
Regarding this auction, Fang Yusi had seen the leaflet a few days ago, and the reason why he came here was because there were indeed a lot of good things for sale on it. However, the auction was only halfway through at this time, and many things had not yet been taken out. Joseph on the side was obviously also very rich, and occasionally raised the sign in his hand. Talking and laughing with the blonde beauties around him, the bid of hundreds of thousands of yuan was also easy and freehand, and at nine o'clock, with a pair of expensive Swiss couple watches sold at a high price of more than 800,000 yuan, the atmosphere in the auction hall began to become warm.
After the couple's watch, there is a set of incomparably precious pearl jewelry, and I watched this set of jewelry containing rings, necklaces, and earrings appear on the big screen. Fang Yusi sat upright on the seat, his eyes looking a little confused. Woman. It's always hard to resist these shiny things. In the promotion of the auction, in addition to an unannounced mysterious item, this jewelry is the most expensive, and it also attracts Fang Yu's thoughts to take a look, but although she has accumulated a net worth of tens of millions in the past few years, it is still impossible for her to spend a lot of money to buy these luxury goods.
Before the price was called to two million, she gently raised the sign in her hand, and then she was overtaken, a little regretful, and then a little relaxed. In the entertainment industry, you can often hear the news that a certain actress has accepted a heavy gift from a certain rich man, and she used to scoff a little, but now, her boyfriend is gone, and she can't help but fantasize in her heart, how good it would be if someone could give her this set of jewelry as a gift.
The price is more than 2.5 million, 2.8 million, and it is still rising, Fang Yusi leaned on the chair, watched Joseph next to him raise the sign again and again, and laughed with the women around him, the blonde woman named Marilyn was also looking at the jewelry on the screen, and her smile also brought a trace of appreciation and expectation...... It's really shameless, such a woman will only cheat men out of their money-Fang Yusi thought in his heart.
Soon after, the jewelry was sold at a price of 3.7 million, but the buyer was not Joseph next to him, but a playboy of the Huang family in Jianghai City, this person is called Huang Shanwen, is the youngest brother of Huang Shanxiang and Huang Shanxing, who is in his thirties, but has been idle, mixing in the flowers, in the eyes of many women, he is naturally one of the most valuable diamond kings in Jianghai City. After getting it, he and the beautiful women around him stood up and smiled around, looking quite hateful.
"This set of jewelry is not the best today, I got the inside scoop, and there will be something better later."
Joseph smiled and explained to the woman next to him, and as he spoke, a big question mark appeared on the big screen in front of him, and then the auctioneer smiled and signaled quiet. The staff came from the rear pushing a small platform.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will bring you the biggest surprise of today's auction. This is a superb diamond necklace produced by Tiffany, please take a look......" As the auctioneer pulled open the red cloth covering the small platform, a glittering picture flashed on the big screen, and the women in the entire auction hall were almost suffocated for a moment, staring straight ahead, Fang Yusi's drunkenness disappeared in this moment.
“…… This new French-cut necklace features 220 spherical diamonds weighing a total of 215 carats, each of which is delicately cut and unpaved with pure diamonds. Thirty-seven trapezoidal diamonds weighing a total of 6.25 carats are used in the clasp joints. This necklace implements the concept of multi-functional jewelry, which can be freely adjusted to the length of the chain, and can also be broken down and used as a bracelet...... Valued by a professional appraiser, the starting price is 13.2 million ......"
As the auctioneer explained, the entire auction hall fell into a whisper, apparently because the jewelry was so expensive that everyone was caught off guard. The women were dazzled by the sparkle of diamonds, and the men began to weigh their purses, and it is foreseeable that there will not be many bidders for this jewelry.
The introduction of this necklace took about ten minutes, close to ten o'clock, the price finally began, the first to hold up a sign is a fat man, that is a new rise in Jianghai City, it is said that the net worth has exceeded one billion, but because the character is not very good, some people in the upper class do not treat him very much, this guy's favorite thing to do, is to take out a large amount of money to disgust people.
"Thirteen.5 million."
"Thirteen,600,000." The second bidder was Joseph next to him, but when he held up the sign, Marilyn next to him seemed to be a little speechless.
Hypocrisy...... I feel embarrassed to accept it, I feel sorry for the money, I don't want it, and I am reluctant to say that I don't want it, it's so hypocritical...... Fang Yusi was so jealous that his teeth itched, and he scolded in his heart. Her entire net worth is enough to buy such a necklace, if anyone can give it to her......
"Thirteen,800,000." The third bidder was Lu Guangyi of the Lu family in Jianghai City, and after raising the card, he even glanced at the fat nouveau riche defiantly. As one of the five big families in Jianghai City, the current helmsman of the Lu family is called Lu Guangren, Lu Guangyi is his second brother, and he has a very good set of business, and most of the finances of the Lu family's enterprises are under his control, and he is not in Jianghai City on weekdays.
"Fourteen million!"
"Fourteen million two hundred and twenty thousand!"
"Fourteen and a half million!"
In the auction hall, basically only these three people are taking turns bidding, although it seems to be deserted, but every time they bid, they can cause a twitch in the faces of the people around them, and every time they bid, Fang Yusi also feels that the man next to him is really attractive.
It's a pity that the strong dragon can't suppress the snake, although most of the money of the Sarier family comes from illegal transactions such as drug trafficking, but Joseph is just a steward, and originally wanted to buy a good thing to please Marilyn, but he didn't expect that in the end it was such a big guy, and when the price reached 17 million, he finally sighed, stopped holding up the card, and smiled apologetically at Marilyn. Fang Yu's heart swelled with regret. I feel a little happy, sure enough, in this world, you often can't get what you want.
With Joseph's withdrawal, the situation in the auction room became head-to-head between the two sides, and both sides shouted higher prices one after the other, and soon the price exceeded 20 million. And climb to a higher number, but the time interval between each bid becomes longer, and it is clear that the two of them are already beginning to consider whether it is worth spending tens of millions to show off once.
In terms of strength, the Lu family seems to be much stronger than the nouveau riche, and for the fat man. The fight is a breath, so after the price broke through 24 million, there was still no sign of stopping this round of needles against Mai Mang, Fang Yusi looked nervously in her seat, and a large amount of money had already driven her emotions. When the voice of "twenty-five million" sounded, she heard the little girl next to her shout in surprise: "Jiaming! ”
At this moment, she didn't have any impression of this name, but she was shocked by this shout, she still looked to the side, and then was slightly stunned: that boy. Isn't that the one who sang "only-you" at Sacred Heart Academy? Unpleasant memories flashed through her mind, and then. Her eyes were drawn to the money war ahead.
On this side, Heidi took Jiaming's hand. Hatefully slammed on the back of his hand: "You! End! In! Come! Finish! Mommy and I have been waiting for you for a long time! ”
"Hehe, I apologize, I apologize, a friend has a very unpleasant thing, and I want to accompany her." His gaze swept over Fang Yusi, who was three seats away, and his gaze stayed on Marilyn's face for a moment, and both sides had a heartfelt smile: "Uh, is there an auction?" What's good, oh. A necklace so neatly. ”
"yes, it's beautiful." Heidi doesn't feel much about millions of pearl jewelry. However, when tens of millions of diamond necklaces came out, her eyes couldn't help but be attracted, Jia Ming took her hand and smiled, and said softly: "That...... As an apology for my lateness, shall I buy it for you? ”
This sentence was not heard by Joseph, but Marilyn next to her vaguely heard it clearly, and hurriedly shook her hand and said, "Don't, it's so expensive." Heidi also smiled and said: "Yes, it's so expensive, I've been learning Chinese for two years, and I can understand some of the prices they shout, more than 20 million, you, accompany me to find marshmallows to eat and let you go." ”
Seeing that the little girl was sensible, Jiaming reached out and touched her head, and suddenly, Heidi became angry again: "A gentleman can't touch other people's heads, I'm not a child anymore!" Reaching out to open Jiaming's hand, he was immediately strangled by Jiaming's mischievous neck, took off the blue hat on the ground, and touched her hair until it was messy before refusing to stop. After hitting Jiaming a few times, the puffing Heidi stared at Jiaming, looking like she was about to bite at any time.
Speaking of bad personality, where can Heidi compare to Jia Ming, and leaned over disappretently at this time: "Hey, that necklace, Marilyn, you like it too, right?" ”
After arranging Heidi's hair, Marilyn shrugged her shoulders, Jia Ming smiled, seeing that Joseph over there had already looked over, leaned over to Heidi's ear and said, "Little girl, is there an auction sign over there for your mommy?" ”
"I'm not a little girl, I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Heidi glared at him, and then couldn't help but pick up the sign from her mother's seat and hand it to Jiaming.
"It's not for me." Jia Ming smiled and whispered a few words in Heidi's ear, Joseph looked at Jia Ming suspiciously, as a core member of the Sally family, he naturally knew that Marilyn was rescued by a powerful mysterious person in China last time, and this time he took Marilyn back to Jianghai City, and he also had the intention of finding that person out, and asked a lot of things before, but the two women were very vigilant and refused to reveal anything, and after arriving in Jianghai, the first person they came into contact with was a student? Three years ago he was a kid......
At this moment, the bidding price on the auction floor has reached 27 million, listening to Jiaming's words, Heidi's eyes widened, and she confirmed one side, and then called the sign to her mother, and whispered in her ear, after speaking, Marilyn stared at Jiaming with wide eyes, and Jiaming just smiled and nodded. Soon after, Marilyn looked at Jiaming and smiled helplessly, looking like a tolerant mother finally agreed to some unreasonable request of the child.
Ahead, the nouveau riche gritted his teeth, raised a sign, and shouted: "Thirty million! In an instant, there was an uproar in the auction hall, and three million were added at once, obviously he had to compare with the Lu family, Fang Yusi took a deep breath, and looked at Lu Guangyi nervously, excited to the point that she couldn't be more excited, if this necklace was bought by both parties and given to her, it was estimated that she would faint here immediately. Then, she heard the next bid.
"Fifty million."
The voice is a little flat and a little strange, because this is a foreign female voice. After the faint numbers came out, the whole auction room was a little quiet, and even the auctioneer above seemed to be sure if he was having auditory hallucinations. Naturally, the asking price did not come from Lu Guangyi. At that moment, Fang Yusi's mind had a brief blank, and he slowly turned his head, his eyes swept over Joseph, and the blonde woman over there put down the number plate in her hand, then turned her head to the side and smiled at the young man named Gu Jiaming.
