Chapter 6 Charity Auction (II)
After all, he left under the pretext of answering the phone, so the two couldn't discuss it for too long. A few minutes later, Phantom Glass came to the stage to continue the auction, and Yanagi began to inquire about who the person who consigned the necklace was.
"I'm sorry, everyone, because I had an important phone call to answer just now, so I'm leaving, and now I'm going to auction off this necklace in my hand." Phantom said with a smile.
"Everyone has seen that this necklace is white gold, and the pendant is a teardrop-shaped sapphire, similar to the 'heart of the ocean' in the blockbuster "Titanic", which is very beautiful. Since the friend who consigned this necklace did not indicate the reserve price, everyone can bid freely, and the highest price will win. ”
As soon as Phantom Glass finished speaking, there was an uproar below, and then everyone started bidding.
I don't know if it's because the necklace is really too beautiful, or because the phantom glass station is too appealing, the price of the necklace has been raised to 6 million yen, and there is still an upward momentum.
"Ten million yen!"
Suddenly, a male voice sounded, and the audience was silent, and everyone turned back to see who was shouting so much.
I saw a handsome young man in a suit sitting in the back row slowly put down the bidding card in his hand, he ignored the curious eyes of everyone, and just nodded slightly to the phantom glass on the stage.
Phantom Glass's brows furrowed quietly, who is this man? She was sure she didn't know him, could that be the seller behind the scenes? But if it's him, why buy it back at a high price? And what exactly is his purpose in doing this?
There wasn't much time for Phantom Glass to think, although 10 million was already very high, but soon someone started bidding, and the bidder was the nouveau riche man who bought the diamond ring in front.
"Eleven million!"
All of you here are people who have a certain amount of research on jewelry, although this necklace is indeed very beautiful, but it is definitely not worth the price, and the natural gossip factor of human beings makes everyone stop bidding and watch the confrontation between the nouveau riche and the mysterious man intently.
"Twenty million!"
As soon as the mysterious man's words fell, the audience was in an uproar, such a way of shouting was obviously smashing people with money, but I don't know which of the two can hold on to the end.
"Twenty-one million!" The nouveau riche raised the price again, while turning his head to look at the mysterious man with a slight disgrupt.
"Thirty million!" Sure enough, as expected, the mysterious man jumped the price increase code again, and a necklace on the market that only cost a few million at most was auctioned out in a blink of an eye.
Phantom Glass is also a little dumbfounded, what the hell is this mysterious man going to do? Thirty million is no longer a small number, will he really be the seller behind the scenes?
Liu Sheng frowned slightly, and then quietly dialed a call.
"Thirty-one million!" The nouveau riche hesitated for a few seconds, then raised the price again.
"Forty million!" The mysterious man killed the nouveau riche again with a high price without blinking, and the entire auction hall was silent, and everyone was looking forward to who the necklace would go to.
"You ......" The nouveau riche looked at the mysterious man, his eyes were full of resentment, but he couldn't offer a higher price, not because he couldn't afford it, but because it wasn't worth it, and finally he threw the bidding card aside, making it clear that he had given up the bid.
Phantom Glass reacted quickly, and she said to everyone: "This gentleman bid 40 million, does anyone offer a higher price?" If not, I'm going to start the countdown, three, two......"
As soon as Phantom Li shouted two, a male voice interrupted her.
"Sixty million!" It turned out to be Yagyu who was holding the card.
Now the whole audience is frying, and everyone is beginning to be curious, what is this chain worth such a high price? A few people even whispered, saying that it wasn't because of the necklace at all, but obviously because they wanted to curry favor with the phantom glass who presided over it, after all, they had the mark of the Trace Consortium. Some people also say that this is deliberately arranged by the Ministry of Traces, in order to increase the popularity of the fund.
No matter what others say, the highest bidder right now is Yanagi, and if the mysterious man doesn't increase the price, then the necklace will go to Yanagi. Although Phantom Glass was surprised where Yanagi got so much money, she believed that Yanagi must have her own reasons for doing this, not to mention that subconsciously she didn't want the necklace to be auctioned by the mysterious man, so she quickly began to shout the price.
"Okay, this gentleman has bid 60 million, is there anything higher? If not, I'm going to start the countdown, three, two, one! After quickly reporting the numbers, Phantom Glass raised his hammer and struck, "Deal!" This necklace belongs to this gentleman! ”
Yanagi didn't take out the check, but asked the person in charge of the organizer to answer a phone call, and after answering the phone, the person in charge immediately handed the necklace to Yanagi with a respectful face. Phantom Glass had already stepped down at this time, and he was curious to see all this.
When the person in charge left, Phantom Glass asked in a low voice, "Hiryu, what's going on?" ”
"There may be something wrong with this necklace, and the man who has been shouting the high price is very likely to be the seller behind it, although I don't know why he did this, but I feel that this necklace can't be taken away from him, so I just called the trace department, the price of 60 million is from him, and he also said that if the person shouts again, he will continue to raise the price. The phone call just now came from the Ministry of Traces, because he is now in the UK, so he asked the organizer to send the receipt to the Ministry of Traces Foundation, and naturally someone would give him money. Yanagi explained quietly.
Phantom glass stuck out her tongue in surprise, she really wanted to know the secret of the necklace, but the number of sixty million was reported without blinking an eye, which still shocked her, and after the shock, she was deeply moved in her heart, her godbrother is really good!
Just as the two were talking, the mysterious man suddenly walked to the position next to the two and sat down, and then smiled and said to Phantom, "Hello, Miss Hoshino." ”
"Hello." Although I don't know the purpose of this man, since people take the initiative to say hello, Phantom Glass is naturally not good not to respond.
"It's a pity, I wanted to take a picture of this necklace and give it to you, but unfortunately this gentleman has amazing financial resources, so I had to give up. Sir, you're really generous! The mysterious man smiled and looked at Yanagi with something in his eyes that he couldn't understand.
"I'm just entrusted by others, I'm just an ordinary worker, and I can't talk about any financial resources." Liu Sheng pushed down his glasses and said lightly.
"Oh? I don't know who is so generous? ”
"I'm sorry, but it's inconvenient for me to disclose this."
"Hehe, forget it." After the man finished speaking, he got up, turned his eyes to Phantom Glass, and said, "Hoshino-san, I think we will meet again, farewell." ”
"Wait a minute." Phantom Glass stopped the man who was about to leave, and when the man turned his head, Phantom Glass asked, "Did you take out this chain and sell it on consignment?" ”
"Hehe, I'll tell you all when we see each other next time, goodbye!"
Looking at the figure of the man leaving, Phantom Glass and Liu Sheng frowned at the same time, this man seems to be very simple, why is all this? The two of them didn't feel a sense of powerlessness in the fog.
Phantom Glass opened the box and looked at the necklace, what is the meaning of this necklace? Why is there her name on it? Could it be the same thing she wore from the original phantom glass she used to wear? Go back and ask Shinobu and Kenya, they should know something.
The auction ended quickly, and the two thoughtful men said goodbye to the organizer and left.
Yanagi sent Phantom Glass home and didn't leave, and on the way, the two called Shinobi, Kenya, and Shiraishi respectively, asking them to come to Phantom Glass quickly. This matter is strange everywhere, and it is very necessary for everyone to discuss it together.
The trail also rushed back from England, but it was not until the next morning that he arrived in Japan.
Shiraishi was in Tokyo, so he came as quickly as possible, and when he learned from Yanagi about what was happening at the auction that night, he didn't ask why Phantom Glass invited Yanagi, but fell into deep thought. He had the same idea as Yanagi, this matter seemed to be aimed at Phantom Glass, although he didn't know why, but he inexplicably felt uneasy.
"Xiaoli, why don't you go to sleep first! It is estimated that Shinobu and Qian will not be able to rush back until early in the morning, and the trace department will arrive early tomorrow morning, so let's discuss it when everyone is together. Liu Sheng looked at the slightly tired Phantom Glass and persuaded loudly.
"Yes, Xiaoli, you go to sleep first, and we'll discuss it tomorrow." Shiraishi cooperated with Yanagi and said, he also saw that Phantom Glass's mental condition was not very good.
Phantom looked at the two men with insistent faces, hesitated, nodded anyway, said goodnight to the two of them, and went back to his room to rest.
In the living room, only Shiraishi and Yanagi sat quietly opposite each other.
"I suddenly had a bad feeling." Shiraishi suddenly said to Yanagi.
"Ah, me too." Yanagi nodded.
"No matter what, we have to protect Xiaoli, and that kind of thing must not happen again!" Shiraishi's voice was extremely determined.
Hearing Shiraishi talk about what happened back then, a white light flashed on Yanagi's glasses, and he also said firmly: "I will never let that happen again!" ”
