"Lord Lin, aren't there any of these goods that you like?" asked Rotlett.

"These things are normal things to me, and I came here for gems."

"There is a pink diamond in this auction, which I think is very suitable for the owner of Lin Island."

"Oh, this is the first time I've heard of this pink diamond, is there anything special?" said Rotlett, which aroused Lin Ruhai's interest.

"The texture of this diamond is very hard, and nothing can polish it smooth, but people in Western countries have made a very precise instrument that can cut it out many faces, which can make the diamond shine even more. In fact, the oil drill is the finished product after the diamond has been cut, and it is very dazzling in the light. Speaking of this pink diamond, it is very rare, and the one that is said to be the size of a pigeon's egg in today's auction is even more rare. There is also a saying about this pink diamond, which represents the purest and most faithful, what pink is on behalf of first love, diamond is the hardest stone, and pink diamond is the most rare, this statement is said by people in Western countries, and I don't know if it's true or not. ”

It was the first time Lin Ruhai had heard of the statement about the pink diamond, but whether this statement was true or not, he planned to take the pink diamond, just because Rottlett said that the pink diamond was the rarest, and what he wanted to give to Jia Min must be unique.

As he spoke, the auction was drawing to a close, and after a local Luzon nobleman had auctioned off a horse of gold for a thousand taels of gold, Smith took out the first bag of oil diamonds to be auctioned today.

"Everyone, please see, this small bag of fire oil diamonds, there are a total of eighteen, every moment is at least the size of the little finger cover, people who know the industry know that such oil diamonds are very rare, please seize the opportunity" Smith finished speaking, and glanced at Lin Ruhai in the private room upstairs, intentionally or unintentionally.

At the beginning of the bidding, Lin Ruhai did not participate in it, and in the end, there was only one person left, and no one made any more offers, Smith looked at their private room with some anxiety, and saw that Lin Ruhai still looked calm and relaxed, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "This gentleman quoted 13,000 taels of silver, 13,000 taels once, 13,000 taels twice, 13,000 taels."

"Fifteen thousand taels" Lin Ruhai's cold voice sounded, everyone cast curious glances, Lin Ruhai smiled indifferently, "I think such a good fire oil drill 13,000 taels of silver is a bit too low, if this gentleman really wants, just continue to bargain."

The man who asked for thirteen thousand taels was the one arranged by Smith, and he was already sweating nervously at this time, staring at Smith, waiting for his instructions. Smith couldn't figure out what Lin Ruhai meant, and said that he wanted to take pictures of these oil drills, but he didn't look interested, and he didn't actively ask for the price; said that he didn't want it, but he asked for it at the best moment, and it was two thousand taels higher. Smith was afraid that after people raised the price again, Lin Ruhai would stop bidding, wouldn't he lose a lot of money at that time, so Smith planned to accept it when he saw it, and gave the person who originally asked for a look. The man smiled and said, "These fire oil drills have been given to this gentleman," and bowed slightly to Lin Ruhai very politely.

Lin Ruhai smiled and clenched his fists in return, "Thank you for agreeing."

The next item to be auctioned is still a bag of oil drills, but it is larger than the previous one, and each one is probably the size of a thumb cap. Lin Ruhai was still unhurried, and still quoted at the last moment and bought the bag of oil drills at a price two thousand taels higher than the other party's silver.

"Now, it's time for the baby to come out in the finale, ladies and gentlemen, a pink diamond that is hard to find in the world, please look," Smith said, lifting the red velvet that covered the pink diamond.

A pink diamond in the shape of a water drop appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and the night was dark at this time, and the light in the room was dim, but the pink diamond still folded out a brilliant light, which made people yearn for it.

"Start bidding now, the starting price is 1,000 taels of gold"

"10,000 taels" Lin Ruhai directly opened his mouth this time and quoted a high price, which is the highest price in today's auction.

Smith gave a fat man a look, and the fat man followed and said, "Eleven thousand taels"

"Twenty thousand taels"

After Lin Ruhai finished shouting, there was a commotion in the field, and they were all surprised by Lin Ruhai's magnanimity.

"Lord Lin, you will suffer a lot if you ask for a price like this," Rottlett said with a frown.

"It's okay, I just want to express my ambition to win" Lin Ruhai smiled confidently, which made Rotlett stunned for a moment, such a man is so attractive, even he, a big man, was confused by Lin Ruhai's smile.

Smith motioned for the fat man to bid two more times, and the fat man opened his mouth to bid for twenty-five thousand taels.

"50,000 taels" went through two rounds of bidding, and Lin Ruhai offered a high price of 50,000 taels of gold, and Smith was extremely satisfied with this price. But others regarded Lin Ruhai as an out-and-out fool. Although this pink diamond is rare, it is not worth 50,000 taels of gold, 50,000 taels of gold is 500,000 taels of silver, what is it not good to have so much silver, but I want to buy such a thing back, I can't eat or drink

"Lord Lin, this pink diamond is not worth this price at all, I advise you to think again," Rottlett said anxiously.

"Thank you for the kindness of the chief, it seems to me that it is worth the price"

Lin Ruhai was talking to Rottlett here, and Smith was afraid that Lin Ruhai would regret it, so he quickly knocked down the auction hammer

"Congratulations to the owner of Lin Island for auctioning this pink diamond for 50,000 taels"

It was too late for Rottlett to say anything more, he frowned and pondered for a moment, and said to Lin Ruhai, "Lord Lin, don't take this pink diamond first, I will send it to the inn where you live, and then you only need to pay 10,000 taels of gold."

"Thank you, Chief, very much, for your kindness, you really don't have to do anything to embarrass you because of me. Gold and silver are nothing to me at all, what I want is uniqueness" Lin Ruhai looked at Rottlett very sincerely.

Rottlett sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, I'll let him make it up to you."

Lin Ruhai smiled and said nothing, he didn't need compensation, because he would let those who wanted to calculate him lose his wife and soldiers. The chapter content is being restored, so please visit it later.
