Chapter 153: The Pearl of Baroda
Gou Qianqiu didn't brag, and there were indeed many precious collections at this auction.
The Tsar's "blue eyes" were just appetizers, and soon some treasures of no less value appeared.
In addition to jewelry, there are many antique utensils, calligraphy and painting works, both Chinese and foreign. The lowest transaction price is also more than 5 million, and there are not a few transactions at tens of millions of prices, or even more than 100 million prices.
Luo Nan didn't sell every auction item, and that was too hated.
However, as long as the bidding price of everything reaches more than 100 million, he will start to sell.
There's no way, tens of billions of dollars are waiting for him to eliminate, and he can't do it if he doesn't work hard.
Ronan's actions made those sitting in front of him look back frequently. With such a generous shot, people would have expected to see a familiar face, but Lonan was so foreign to them.
They can only feel that Shenzhou is vast and rich, and there are talents from all generations, and they don't know when a local tyrant will suddenly emerge.
Luo Nan continued to burn money, without any psychological burden. Regardless of whether he looks at things or not, as long as the bidding price exceeds 100 million, he will definitely raise his cards.
The auction proceeded in an orderly manner.
"Next up is the penultimate auction item tonight, the treasure that was once the treasure of Candero, the Maharaja of Vadodara, India, the Vadodara pearl necklace!"
Legend has it that this necklace once belonged to Maharaja Candelo's favorite concubine, Mi Chaiya, and there have been many beautiful love stories around this string of pearls. Legend has it that whoever takes this string of pearls will have eternal perfect love. ”
"There was another string of 68 pearls, the Vadodara pearl, which set a record of $7 million at auction. This necklace has 72 pearls, and it is fuller, larger, and better colored than the previous auction, with a starting price of 30 million!"
The auctioneer announced in a high-pitched voice, and soon a model in a low-cut dress walked up to the auction stage, wearing the string of pearls for a display.
Each of these pearls is larger than a marble, emitting a faint pink glow that looks seductive and elegant in the light. Sure enough, it's a peerless treasure.
Perhaps it is not the most precious of the collections auctioned tonight, because more than 100 million abound, and it can fetch more than 6,000 at most, not more than 70 million. But it's definitely the most pleasing to girls. Little pink stars appeared in Lin Ziya's eyes.
Luo Nan glanced at it casually, then his eyes froze and his expression became serious. In his perception, this pearl necklace exudes strong spiritual fluctuations, and with a little refining, it can become a good magic weapon - a magic weapon, not a magic weapon!
He suppressed the ecstasy that erupted in his heart, and waited expressionlessly for the time to raise his card.
"Now please bid!" the auctioneer quickly announced, not appreciating everyone's appetite.
Without waiting for Luo Nan to raise the card, Feng Xinyi had already raised the card and shook it.
Her action was like lighting a fuse, and the ladies in the audience began to shake the arms of their male companions around them, begging and promising to let their male partners buy them this beautiful necklace with beautiful meanings.
Luo Nan didn't make a move, and waited patiently.
It wasn't until the price rose to 55 million that the speed of bidding slowed down significantly, and Luo Nan made his first move at this time, directly calling the price to 60 million.
"60 million, Mr. 10 bid 60 million. Is there a higher ?61 million! Give me 62 million, will anyone offer 62 million? Mr. 10 will bid 65 million!"
Almost all the ladies in the audience were looking at Luo Nan with complaining eyes, and even Feng Xinyi couldn't help but glance back at Luo Nan.
Although Luo Nan was a little apologetic, he definitely wouldn't stop. How can this kind of superb product be bought by mortals and make its pearl dusty!
Feng Xinyi gritted her teeth, raised her card again, and quoted a price of 70 million! This is already a bit beyond the true value of this string of pearls.
Luo Nan shook his head slightly, and also shook the card a few times, and the auctioneer shouted excitedly: "80 million! Mr. 10 quoted 80 million! Is there any higher? Where is 85 million?"
Feng Xinyi shook her head regretfully and put down the sign. She couldn't afford to pay more. Her net worth is actually not as much as outsiders guess, she has a high income, but her expenses are also large, and the acquisition of that VR company has made her shy, and 70 million is already the limit of what she can take.
The rest of Liao Liao and the others also gave up sensibly, after all, this pearl necklace is worth between 7.8 million and 8.8 million US dollars at best, converted into RMB, at the current exchange rate, the peak is 61 million.
80 million is already inflated, and there is no need to spend money on this kind of place for the sake of vindictiveness.
And they are very skeptical, even if they really fight with Luo Nan, can they win? When Luo Nan was bidding before, he was not merciless, a blue pupil worth up to 370 million was bid by him to 440 million, and a picture of Tang Yin's lady was sold by him to 480 million, and he could only use one phrase to describe him: rich, capricious.
At least no one here dared to doubt Lonan's financial strength.
After successfully pocketing the pearls that could be used to refine magic weapons, Luo Nan quietly waited for the last two auction items to be revealed.
The penultimate lot was soon revealed, another necklace. When the beautiful female model appeared wearing the necklace with a huge pink diamond pendant, it caused a series of low exclamations from the audience.
Luo Nan looked at the necklace and looked a little familiar, so he turned his head sideways and asked Lin Ziya: "This necklace is very famous?"
Lin Ziya licked her lips, her eyes were misty, and she replied in a whisper: "This is a national treasure over there!
Gou Qianqiu's energy is quite large, and even treasures of this level will appear in his auctions. Luo Nan was immediately happy, he no longer had common sense to know that the Heart of the Ocean had set a high price of $470 million in the auction, and since the Heart of Eros was as famous as it, it would not be cheap. This means that he can spend billions of dollars again.
The auctioneer proudly introduced: "You read that right, this is the famous Heart of Eros, a diamond on the same level as 'Koh-i-Noor', 'Star of Africa', 'Heart of the Ocean', etc., but it has disappeared since the 70s of the last century. We are now being commissioned by a private collector to auction it. The Heart of Eros is a superb pink diamond, weighing 112 carats, perfect in shape and color, and the necklace was specially designed by Cartier's designers to highlight the theme of 'love'......"
After sprinkling a lot of money, in the impatient urging of the audience, the auctioneer finally announced the starting price: "The starting price is 2 billion! Each price increase shall not be less than 50 million!"
Although the people in the audience made a lot of trouble, there were not many people who had the net worth and the strength to bid for this necklace. There were very few people holding signs. Lonan waited patiently, he would make another move at the last minute.
