Episode 133: Sky-high Ruby

After calling for the auction three times, the old man on the auction table smiled and said to Wang Chang, "Congratulations, sir, you got off to the right and successfully won the first lot in this auction." ”

Wang Chang suddenly got up and owed, and when he sat down again, Xiao Jing on the side of his body grabbed Wang Chang's arm excitedly and shook it again and again, "Brother Wang, you are awesome!"

Yes, in her opinion, but it is indeed the case, as soon as Wang Chang spoke, the others all fell silent, and casually threw out 1.5 million yuan to buy a piece of jade, which is indeed domineering and admirable.

"It's nothing, it's just a trifle. ”

Wang Chang also seemed to enjoy this feeling, and waved his hand very chic before patting Xiaojing's white and tender little hand, "When the auction is over, I will give you that piece of jade when I get it." ”

"Brother Wang!"

Xiaojing whispered excitedly again, and couldn't help but pounce on Wang Chang and kiss her, of course, because this was a public occasion, she had been trying her best to suppress her excitement and lower her voice, otherwise, the security guards at the auction hall would have driven them out!

It was only at this time that Wang Chang looked at Cheng Fei triumphantly again, and the look in his eyes flowed, although he didn't say it directly, it was no different from saying it directly.

Cheng Fei was really speechless about this nouveau riche temperament, and immediately turned his body to the side, looking like he didn't know this person, just quietly watching the auction in front of him.

The second auction item is a root carving, the price is not low, just the low price is enough to 250,000, compared to the Warring States jade is almost where to go, and there are many people who are interested in the root carving, and soon someone will raise a sign to bid, Cheng Fei is here, mainly for the hundred-year-old ginseng, of course, if there are other precious medicinal materials, he doesn't mind shooting, but he is not interested in this, so he just sits quietly and watches.

Soon, the price of the root carving exceeded one million, but because Wang Chang didn't make another move, and there didn't seem to be a second Wang Chang in the venue, the price was not too outrageous, and after shouting 1.35 million, it stopped and was auctioned by an old man surnamed Bi.

Soon, the third, the fourth......... With the gradual passage of time, in a morning, more than 300 lots were quickly bought, and the prices were naturally high and low, the low ones were more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan, and the high ones reached tens of millions.

Of course, it was not uncommon for the auction to fail, but that did not affect the atmosphere of the auction, and by noon, the finale of the morning session was finally delivered.

When you lift the white cloth on the tray, you are greeted by a crystal clear red gemstone.

"This is a top-notch pigeon's blood ruby, weighing 26.5 carats, which has been seen at SIPG International Auction once since the end of the last century, and this is the first time in nearly a decade that a top-quality ruby of this magnitude has been submitted to auction, and it is undoubtedly a rare treasure. ”

The old man in Tang costume spoke, and between his words, there was an indescribable excitement: "The people present are all knowledgeable people, so I won't say much, the starting price of this top pigeon blood ruby is .......... Fifty million, each increase must not be less than one million, now, everyone can bid. ”

"Fifty-five million!"

The voice of the old man in Tang costume fell, and someone had already raised his hand to bid, obviously, the people present were very enthusiastic about this top-grade ruby, and they hated to take it for themselves immediately.

In the gemstone family, the more vivid the red color of the ruby, the more beautiful and valuable it is. The finest color of rubies is called "pigeon's blood". It is a vivid and intense color that can almost be called a deep red, and it is able to reveal the beauty of rubies. In addition to being pure, saturated, and bright, its red color gives people a strong feeling of "burning fire" and "flowing blood".

At the end of the last century, there was such a top ruby at the international auction in Shanghai Port, which weighed only 25.6 carats, but sold for a whopping 30 million US dollars.

The ruby in front of me is not below the original one, and in addition, the ruby is a non-renewable resource, which becomes more and more scarce with the passage of time, and naturally becomes more and more precious.

"Sixty million!"

"Sixty-three million!"

"68 Million ........."

The price is rising rapidly, and the people in the audience are asking for the price, whether they are rich people with deep pockets or tycoons in the jewelry industry, who want this gemstone, either for collection or for further processing to make heirloom jewelry.

The price rose rapidly, soon exceeding 100 million, and is rapidly moving towards the 200 million mark, which made many people stunned.

Although there are many tycoons in the field, there are also levels of tycoons, and not all of them are qualified to participate in the auction of hundreds of millions.

Wang Chang is also among them.

His family is very rich, but compared to the entire H city and even the whole country, it is nothing. Moreover, he is not in charge of the Wang family's company, even if the family has money, he can't use it arbitrarily. He can make a small fight within one or two million, but the hundreds of millions of bids in front of him are not something he can afford.

"Made, isn't it just a broken stone, one or two, as for this madness? When Lao Tzu takes over the family's company, sooner or later he will suppress all of you!"

Thinking angrily in his heart, Wang Chang turned his head to look at Cheng Fei, but saw Cheng Fei's face full of smiles, and couldn't help but be puzzled for a while, but soon, he couldn't help but secretly feel to himself: Pressed, better than Lao Tzu, you have the ability, you are asking for a price!

Bidding?

Of course, Cheng Fei will not bargain, firstly, at this moment, he does not have such money on him, and secondly, this top-grade pigeon blood ruby is originally his.

Yes, this top-notch pigeon's blood ruby is his, a trophy he brought back from the Golden Ancient City, and he gave two gems to the auction house, and this is one of them.

Therefore, even if he has money, he can't buy his own things back at his own expense, right?

However, although he did not participate in the auction, it did not prevent him from admiring the bidding of others for his treasure, although he had already expected the price of this top ruby, but at this moment, he could not help but be surprised.

"Two hundred and fifteen million!"

The price has exceeded 200 million, and it is not more than a little more than a half, to this extent, there are not many people participating in the auction, but this does not mean that this auction is about to end, on the contrary, from this time on, it is the beginning of the real auction war.

"Two hundred and twenty-five million!"

"Two hundred and thirty-eight million!"

"200 million ........"

The rest of the people, all of whom are real predators with huge financial resources, are the strong contenders for this top pigeon's blood ruby, and the price will soon reach a new peak in their wrestling.

"Three hundred million!"

Finally, someone called out this shocking sky-high price, but unfortunately, this price only lasted less than three minutes, and it was pressed down by a new price.

"Hah!"

Cheng Fei saw it in his eyes, joy in his heart, and couldn't help but have a smile on his face, there are naturally not many people who have too much money, naturally the more the better.

However, no matter how precious the gem, after all, it is especially the price limit, after a fierce competition, the price of this pigeon's blood ruby stopped at 395 million, and was auctioned off by a large jewelry store called "Zunhuang", but unfortunately, it was only 5 million, but after all, it still failed to break through the 400 million mark.

Contented and happy, Cheng Fei is already satisfied. Anyway, he still has a gemstone to be auctioned in the afternoon, and he believes that the price of that emerald gemstone is higher than that of this pigeon's blood ruby!
