Time passed quickly, and it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening. The atmosphere at the auction site is also getting higher and higher, and the host said enthusiastically, "The next auction items are the last two auction items of this auction." The first is this couple ring. ”

With the introduction of the host, a model walked up to the host with a tray on which a pair of dazzling diamond rings were placed. The moderator began to explain: "This diamond ring is provided by De Beers and is made in Botswana, Africa. The rough stones before cutting weigh 58 carats and 61 carats respectively. It took nearly 2 months of hard work by 10 senior technicians at the diamond processing base in Antwerp, Belgium, to cut these two dazzling diamonds with platinum settings. The women's model weighs 11.1 carats and the men's model weighs 12.11 carats, both of which are perfect 4Cs. This is the best gift for a loved one! Auction starts now, with the couple's rings starting at $1.39 million! Minimum bid price of $50,000 per bid! ”

As soon as the host's voice fell, someone shouted, "1.5 million!" A handsome, well-dressed Asian man held up a sign in his hand. The delicate little face of a beautiful woman sitting next to him was about to burst into laughter, holding the handsome man's hand tightly. The handsome guy chuckled and looked at his female companion, patted her hands, and was about to say something when he was interrupted by another offer: "1.55 million!" The handsome man's face immediately sank.

At this time, in Gao Yang's box on the second floor, Gao Yang, who had been watching the excitement with his legs crossed against the sofa cushions, suddenly straightened up, his left hand propped up on his chin, and his eyes were staring at the couple ring on the big screen. Stoker, who was standing on the side, had a thoughtful expression when the host shouted out the last two auction items, and at this moment, when he saw Gao Yang's movements, his brows moved slightly, and he walked gently towards the phone.

"1.8 million!" "1.95 million!" "2 million!" "2.2 million!" The offers below are getting higher and higher, and the competition is getting fiercer. At this time, the handsome guy who was watched by the female companion next to him with pleading eyes gritted his teeth and shouted loudly with a gloomy face: "2.5 million!" The auction hall was silent for a moment, and the handsome guy finally showed a satisfied smile on his face.

"Hey!" Gao Yang couldn't help but be happy, this number is really interesting. After laughing, I saw that the host began to shout 2.5 million for the first time. Gao Yang turned his head to look at Stoke and said softly, "Three million." Stoke nodded and picked up the phone.

When the host finished shouting 2.5 million for the second time, he had already picked up the hammer. The handsome guy had already sat down with peace of mind, turned his head to look at his female companion, and said with a smile on his face, "Dear", at this time, an operator in charge of the telephone auction shouted: "3 million!" ”

The handsome guy's next words were suffocated back and couldn't say it, his face was as black as carbon, and he almost scolded. His female companion grabbed his hand and swayed back and forth, shouting, "I want, I want." ”

The expression on the handsome guy's face at the moment was very exciting, and when the host shouted 3 million for the second time, he finally gritted his teeth and raised the sign, "3.05 million!" After saying that, he stared at the operator. The operator did not disappoint him, quickly picked up the phone, put it down, and shouted to the host, "3.5 million!" The handsome man closed his mouth tightly and sat quietly, the expression on his face made his female companion dare not speak anymore.

The host deliberately looked at the handsome guy before shouting for the third time, and dropped the hammer neatly after seeing that he didn't react at all. In the VIP room on the second floor, Gao Yang picked up the cigarette case on the coffee table.

He used to wear a couple ring before, but he threw it away after that incident. Buy this ring now "The previous one, it's over." I will absolutely, absolutely, never fail again in the future! Gao Yang clasped his hands tightly and whispered, the whole box of cigarettes was pinched.

The host on the stage said loudly with a red face, "Now, we are going to auction the last and best auction item in this auction." He turned and pointed his hands at one of the models in the audience. The model came to the presenter with a tray in her hands. The auction item started playing on the big screen, and it was a huge pink diamond!

The host began to introduce the pink diamond with emotion. This 59.6-carat flawless pink diamond, known as the Pink Star, is oval in shape and has a pure and flawless interior. Discovered in South Africa in 1999, it took De Beers Diamonds' top artisans two years to cut and polish the 132.5-carat rough to create this exceptional jewel.

The audience was shocked, this is a real rarity. The handsome guy's female companion's eyes have become heart-shaped, and the expression is eager to swallow this pink star in her stomach!

At this time, Stoke showed a knowing expression, walked to Gao Yang's side, bowed slightly, and chuckled, "Sir, this is their real purpose." ”

Gao Yang had just taken out a pack of cigarettes and was unpacking them, when he heard Stoker's words, the movements in his hands stopped, and his heart moved. Then he continued to open the cigarette case, took out a cigarette, lit it, looked at Stoke, and said with a smile, "I didn't see this diamond in the illustrated book before, what's going on?" Tell me about it. ”

Stoke chuckled and said, "Sir, this pink diamond is called the Pink Star, and it was sold for $83 million by Sotheby's in 2013. But Mr. Isaac Woolf, who was the last to take the diamond, refused to pay the money! Sotheby's, which was dishonored, has been in a lawsuit with Isaac Woolf for the past two years, and the two sides have only recently settled out of court. Sotheby's invited you this time in the hope that you will be interested in this diamond. ”

Gao Yang rubbed his eyebrows lightly, spit out a smoke ring, looked at Stoke and said, "How do they know that I can come up with $83 million?" Stoke smiled and said, "Sir, many people know about your oil business, and the Koreans didn't go out of their way to hide the deal. For the well-informed Sotheby's, you should be their first choice for launching this diamond, after all, it costs less than a week's worth of your income. ”

Gao Yang glanced at Stoke, twitched the corners of his mouth, and said, "What are you talking about, just tell me now?" ”

Stoke bowed slightly and said, "Sir, I just felt something was wrong when the host said that there were two more auction items. You paid $3 million to get that couple ring, which is not Sotheby's style. I didn't realize until they took out the diamond, and I immediately reported it to you. ”

At this time, the host was still taking the trouble to introduce the diamond, and he had no intention of starting the auction at all, and Gao Yang already understood the corners of his mouth.

"Tuk-tuk." There was a knock on the door. Gao Yang nodded to the bodyguard, and one of the bodyguards stepped forward to open the door.

The door was opened, and the Jung manager walked in with a smile on his face, bending down slightly and saying with a smile, "Mr. Gao", Gao Yang stretched out his hand to stop his next words. "Do you have anyone who has arranged for the offer?" When Jung heard this, he was stunned and didn't know what to say. Gao Yang snuffed out the cigarette and said with a chuckle: "What is the reserve price?" ”

Jung swallowed, and said with a solemn expression on his face, "$61 million." After speaking, he touched the cold sweat on his forehead, and then said, "This is the deposit paid by our company to De Beers, and there are various additional fees to be paid. Sotheby's did not make any money on this auction item. ”

Gao Yang got up, tidied up his clothes, walked up to Jung, patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I am rich, but I don't want to be wronged." I want this diamond, $61 million, not a penny more! Tell someone who can make a decision. Also, I don't want anyone to know about this! With that, he slowly left the box, and Stoke and his bodyguards followed.

Jung watched Gao Yang and his party leave, touched the Mediterranean Sea on his head, and hurriedly ran out.

At this time, the host continued to brag about the diamond in the auction room, but his eyes kept glancing at the operator. Soon an operator picked up the phone, and the host's eyes lit up.

The operator put down the phone and nodded to the host. The host immediately said, "Okay, this diamond is sold, thank you for your participation, and today's auction is over." After saying that, he left in a hurry. Everyone in the venue below shouted in unison, and the handsome guy's female companion grabbed the handsome guy's arm tightly and shouted, "Diamond, diamond!" ”

At this time, Gao Yang had already gotten on the bus and headed to the right bank of the Rhône. At this time, it was not early, and Gao Yang didn't want to rush back to Bern at night, so he asked Stoke to arrange accommodation. Stoke contacted the Mandarin Oriental, a five-star luxury business hotel, one of the most prestigious luxury hotels in Switzerland. Stoke chose this hotel because it is the only 5-star hotel in Geneva that has an ultra-luxurious suite that is now available for occupancy!

It didn't take long for Gao Yang and his entourage to come to the Rohn Culture Oriental Hotel. Stoke quickly negotiated everything, and accompanied by the hotel manager, Gao Yang went directly to the luxury suite on the top floor through a private elevator in the lobby.

From the terrace of the room, you can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Lake Geneva and the wonders of the Alps. The hotel is surrounded by Geneva's shopping and financial districts, and is surrounded by lights and people.

Stoke walked up to Gao Yang and said, "Sir, the spa massage service at the Cultural Oriental Hotel is very famous, do you need it?" "Oh." Gao Yang turned around and touched his chin and said, "Really? Then go and try it, you go and arrange it. ”

Ten minutes later, Gao Yang, accompanied by Stoker, went to the spa wellness area. After bathing in the sauna, you will be treated to a massage by a professional technician.

Sure enough, it was professional, both the technique and the strength were very moderate, and after the massage, Gao Yang felt comfortable all over his body.

Stoke and the bodyguards were waiting outside. After Gao Yang came out, he returned to the hall with Gao Yang, preparing to take the private elevator back to the room. In the hallway back to the hall, there was a sudden commotion.

Gao Yang frowned slightly, he heard the national scolding. After thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards the noise. Stoke hurriedly signaled to the bodyguards, and the two bodyguards walked quickly to Gao Yang to protect him.
