Chapter 365: Halfway Out

"Mr. Seven Hundred and Thirty-Three, Bid $100,000,000!"

"One hundred and four ladies, bid one hundred and a half million dollars!"

"Ms. 462, bid $120 million!"

......

As the auction began, celebrities in the audience took up their cards to compete fiercely for the sapphire, which radiated a mesmerizing halo, and in less than a few minutes, the price soared from $100 million to $170 million. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After all, a few months ago, the sapphire named Adam's Star was only more than 1,400 carats, and its estimated value was more than $100 million, and many collectors even thought that if it were put up for auction, it could sell for about $175 million.

Now suddenly there is a natural sapphire of more than two kilograms of pull, higher quality grade in front of him, naturally unwilling to let go easily, coupled with the name of the world's first, there is no doubt that it will arouse the greed and strong possessiveness hidden in the hearts of human beings, so the rich do not hesitate to invest a lot of money,

The white young man who was originally sitting quietly in the chair, with a contemptuous smile on his face, said in a slightly mocking tone: "Human beings are really contradictory and superficial creatures, knowing that it is just a piece of naturally formed alumina (the main ingredient of sapphire), but they are willing to pay hundreds of millions of dollars for it, and the value of synthetic products of the same size is not even comparable to a slightly better pair of shoes......"

Hearing this kind of words with a serious middle two tendency, the corners of Lu Li's mouth twitched slightly, and he really couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you also a member of the human race?"

"No, no, no, don't confuse me with them, I'm not down to the point of fighting like a dog for fleshless bones. The young man continued to use his poisonous tongue to satirize the wealthy collectors who were bidding in the hall.

Fortunately, his voice was not loud, otherwise once it was heard, it would definitely cause quite a riot.

You must know that rude Americans do not believe in any gentleman who does not use his mouth, and once a verbal altercation occurs, 80 percent will turn into a physical conflict, and fights and brawls are commonplace.

Although he didn't know what extreme thoughts the other party had in his head, Lu Li still dragged his chair to the side slightly, and the province involved himself in an unexpected situation.

Just as he had just moved less than a dozen centimeters, Alfred suddenly released a picture of the bronze door through the projector, and at the same time announced loudly: "Ladies, gentlemen, please pay attention! According to the information provided by the seller, he found the world's largest sapphire from inside this artistic bronze door, and he is willing to give the legendary door to the final successful bidder for free......

Before the chief auctioneer finished speaking, Sophia, who was sitting in the first row, changed her face instantly, raised the number plate in her hand high, and followed up without hesitation, no matter how much others bid.

Obviously, she recognized the appearance of the replica door, so it was impossible to give it up anyway.

I don't know if it was the bronze door that stimulated people's desire to buy, or Sophia's repeated price hikes, which made some rich tycoons feel unhappy.

Anyway, in the next five minutes, the bidding price went all the way up, surpassing $220 million!

"Two hundred and twenty million dollars! Is anyone willing to pay more? If not, the world's largest sapphire will belong to this lady!" exclaimed Alfred, who was in charge of the auction.

He was so excited that he almost had a heart attack, not only was his head densely covered with beads of sweat, but even his breathing became short.

It is almost certain that today the sapphire will be the most expensive item of his career, even enough to set a new Sotheby's record.

"220 million for the first time!"

"Two hundred and twenty million for the second time!"

Just as the chief auctioneer raised his hammer and was about to shout for the third time, the white young man sitting next to Lu Li suddenly raised the number plate and said in a not very loud voice: "300 million!

Wow!

The hall exploded immediately!

"Oh my God, who's that guy? Is he crazy?"

"I don't know if he's crazy or not, but I can guarantee that this gem will definitely make the front page headlines tomorrow!"

"That's right, I remember the most expensive gem in the world, the black diamond, hopefully, worth only 250 million dollars!"

......

All of a sudden, many people turned around and discussed, wanting to see if the local tyrant was so desperate that he actually paid 300 million US dollars for a gem.

Sophia, who was originally bound to win, trembled with anger, her two eyes released a chilling light, and her right hand kept stroking the polluted crystal on her chest, and she knew that her heart must be full of killing impulses without asking.

"Three...... $300 million for the first time!"

"$300 million for the second time!"

"$300 million for the third time!"

"Now I'm announcing that the world's largest sapphire has been sold for $300 million!"

Alfred held back his ecstasy and raised a small gavel and slammed it on the table, completing the jewelry auction that will go down in history.

"Interesting......" The corners of Lu Li's mouth curled slightly, and he glanced at the white young man with the corner of his eye.

He was not a fool, and it was easy to see through that the other party was not going for the gem at all, but for the imitation of the bronze door.

Before the bronze door appeared, the white young man did not show the slightest interest, but when the bronze door appeared, this guy didn't even blink an eye, and directly smashed 300 million US dollars.

With the sapphires closing at a staggering price, the auction didn't make any waves, and in about half an hour, the first autumn tour was over.

Those who bought the collection got up and went to the designated location to settle the balance, while those who couldn't get their favorite items left and came back tomorrow.

Just as Lu Li stood up and followed behind the white young man and probed into the details of the other party, the mobile phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

He hurriedly took it out and saw that it turned out to be a text message from Sophia, with only a short sentence on it: "The black BMW sports car at the door." ”

"Hehehehe, it seems that someone can't sit still. Lu Li smiled and muttered to himself, walked into the partition of the bathroom, turned into Enoch, and walked straight out of the door to the car parked not far away.

Sophia, who had been waiting for a long time, didn't say a word, just pushed the car door and beckoned: "Damn! Come on! We're in big trouble!"

"As you wish!" Lu Li shrugged his shoulders and lowered his head into the co-pilot's seat.

As soon as he sat down, before he could fasten his seatbelt, Sophia stepped on the accelerator, and the car was like an arrow from the string, closely following a Sotheby's escort car......
