Chapter 737: The Auction Ends
Similarly, the preciousness of the thousand-year-old ginseng is far from being comparable to this purple diamond, but the meaning of the two items is different, and its status in the hearts of everyone can never be answered in terms of price.
The auctioneer felt that the most correct thing he had done in his life was to quit his job at a well-known auction house in China and accept Dong Qilin's invitation to join Longyou Auction House.
He and Dong Qilin have been old friends for many years, and the Kirin Art Company often takes some antique artworks to be auctioned at major auctions, and they met in the auctions.
Otherwise, he would still be working half-dead as an auctioneer at that auction house, and he would not be able to host such exciting auctions every day like Longyou Auction House.
This is the opportunity, in this life, maybe there is only one such opportunity, he seized, so that he became a famous auctioneer in the industry, the auction of the millennium ginseng, made him the most popular auctioneer in the country, it is conceivable that after the auction held in Gazaka, his face will appear on the world's major diamond information websites.
"Ninety-five million, ninety-seven million, $100 million, this breakthrough is from the offer of Huaxia Lao Fengxiang Jewelry, $100 million, let us celebrate this auction with warm applause." The auctioneer shouted excitedly.
Suddenly there was a burst of long-lasting applause at the scene, not only the ten diamonds taken out by the Longyou Auction House, which made them feel worthwhile, but even the fierce competition on the scene also opened their eyes.
Although the single product exceeded 100 million US dollars, it still did not break the record of more than 1 billion yuan for a single thousand-year-old ginseng product, but the auctioneer was very excited, the thousand-year-old ginseng is able to live the dead, the existence of medicinal white bones, and this diamond with only ten carats can reach 100 million US dollars, which was unimaginable in the past.
"100 million dollars, do you have any friends who bid higher, a precious purple diamond weighing up to ten carats, Cartier Jewelry bids again, 100 million and 5 million dollars, a one-time addition of five million dollars......" The auctioneer looked excited, and pointed his palm in the direction of Cartier jewelry.
As the world's No. 1 jewelry brand, Cartier jewelry will never allow this purple diamond to flow under their eyelids and spread in the hands of others, which is simply a stain on their Cartier jewelry.
They had already asked the company's headquarters for instructions, and after a few minutes of short meetings, the headquarters instructed them that no matter how high the price was, they must get this purple diamond, and they must not let it fall into the hands of others.
Although Delbis controls about half of the world's diamond production, there is no purple diamond in the diamond mines they control, and as a jewelry company, they also have a possession of this purple diamond.
However, some of the company's senior management, after encountering the ridicule of Longyou Investment Company, had a lot of anger towards Longyou Company, which made them not want to participate in the competition at all, because they did not want Longyou Auction House to get more benefits, and when yellow diamonds and pink diamonds appeared, the company's senior management still did not change their minds.
However, this rare purple diamond can't help but make the company's senior management also moved, even if they don't cooperate with Longyou Investment Company to get this purple diamond, they can also seek more benefits for their company, because no jewelry company has ever publicly owned jewelry made of purple diamonds.
They had made several bids before, but they were instantly drowned in the bidding wave, and now they were deeply shocked that this diamond broke through 100 million US dollars so quickly, and after this auction, Longyou Investment Company and the Gaza card mine they controlled will surely become famous all over the world.
"110 million, the world's diamond tycoon Del Biss offers 110 million, Cartier Jewelry bids again, 115 million ......."
The person in charge of Deer Biss frowned, the price limit given to him by the company's headquarters was 130 million, and now, I am afraid that the limit of this diamond has been reached at all, they can not have the opportunity to cooperate with Longyou Company, but it does not mean that other jewelry companies do not want to.
"Huaxia Lao Fengxiang Jewelry bid 118 million, do you have any friends who bid higher, Deer Bis Company bid again, 120 million, Cartier jewelry price 130 million." Cartier Jewelry offered $10 million at a time, which once again made the scene burst into amazement.
The person in charge of Deer Bis reported the situation to the headquarters, and those senior executives of the company who were prejudiced against Longyou Company decided to give up after discussion, 130 million, which has completely exceeded the true value of this purple diamond.
After the current price was reported to the headquarters, after receiving the instructions, several persons in charge of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry sighed and slowly raised the sign, "140 million US dollars." "It's a desperate gamble, and they're a lot worse than the strength of Cartier Jewels, but even if they lose, they have to shock their opponents.
Up to now, there are only a few jewelry companies left to compete, this purple diamond is a very diamond, and the opportunity to cooperate with Longyou Auction House is very important, but these two items have corresponding value in the hearts of everyone, they are not priceless, just like a thousand years of ginseng.
After Lao Fengxiang bid 140 million, except for Cartier Jewelry, all other companies gave up bidding because this diamond had reached the limit price in their hearts.
"150 million dollars." The calm face of the person in charge of Cartier jewelry changed slightly, but he still held up the sign.
"$150 million, do you have a friend who bids higher, $150 million for the first time, the second time, the sale, let's congratulate Cartier Jewelry, for $150 million for winning the last lot in this auction, a 10-carat rough purple diamond." The auctioneer dropped his hammer heavily.
Hearing this transaction, the person in charge of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry breathed a sigh of relief, no matter whether the opponent bid or not, it was a relief for them, he and several other people stood up, slapped their hands, and said to Cartier Jewelry: "Cartier Jewelry, congratulations." ”
"Thank you, we deeply admire your persistence, and I believe that our two companies will have the opportunity to cooperate." The person in charge of Cartier jewelry also stood up and expressed his gratitude to Lao Fengxiang.
With the applause of Lao Fengxiang Jewelry, a burst of earth-shattering applause resounded in the sky at the auction site and in the square outside.
A diamond weighing only 10 carats fetched $150 million at auction, which made some people feel the shock like never before.
"Congratulations, Cartier Jewelry, in addition to this diamond, you will also have the opportunity to negotiate business with our Longyou company." The auctioneer congratulated with a smile on his face.
The person in charge of Cartier Jewelry said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you to Longyou Auction House, let us enjoy a different auction event, compared to those who did not come, whether we have a diamond or not, we are much happier than them, let us give a round of applause to Longyou Auction House at the end of the auction." ”
Hearing the words of Cartier jewelry, the scene broke out into warm applause again, and Longyou Auction House let them see what is a real auction event and what is the powerful courage of an auction house.
"Thank you, thank you for coming, this auction ended successfully, ten diamonds, the total transaction amount broke through the 400 million US million mark, reached 401.3 million US dollars, although it did not break the record of more than 1.4 billion yuan created by our Longyou auction house, but it broke our record of the total turnover of a single auction, the next auction, will be at the same time next month, the same place, to meet you, thank you again for coming." The auctioneer said with a smile on his face, 400 million US dollars, converted into RMB, nearly 3 billion, which is far more than the auction amount created by the Millennium Ginseng Auction.
Then, the auctioneer continued with a solemn face: "At the same time, please come and pay the amount that matches the auction price within one month, otherwise your collateral will be deducted, and you will also be listed in the blacklist of our Longyou Auction House, becoming a person who will never be welcomed by us." ”
"Special reminder is that Chow Tai Fook Jewelry, Tiffany & Co., and Cartier Jewelry will receive an invitation to cooperate with our Longyou Investment Company within one week after you pay the auction price.
The auctioneer's words fell for a long time, and no one on the scene got up and walked to the exit, many of them were still immersed in the shock brought by this auction, 100 carats of gold diamonds, 30 carats of pink diamonds, 350 carats of pure diamonds, and the 10-carat purple diamond that sold for 150 million US dollars, each of which made them very excited and shocked.
After more than ten minutes, someone got up and walked to the door, and then, many people got up and left one after another, but more people stayed, looking at the front of the auction venue, the person in charge of some jewelry companies, even couldn't help but rush forward, but halfway, was stopped by several dragon soldiers, "Mr. Dong, we are a domestic jewelry company, and we want to discuss with you about buying diamonds." ”
"Manager Dong, we are a French xxx jewelry company, and we want to buy a batch of rough diamonds from your company, as long as the quality is guaranteed, the price is not a problem." Many jewelry companies rushed up and said to Dong Qilin.
Dong Qilin, the general manager of Longyou Investment Company, is no stranger to everyone, and when Longyou Investment Company discovered a huge diamond mine, all their jewelry companies had a copy of Longyou Auction House on their tables.
