183 Auction begins
After three days of displaying all the lots, the first auction of the Nine Days Auction House finally took place as scheduled.
Due to the large number of lots in this auction and the expected one day to be completed in full, the six finale items will be auctioned three each in the morning and three in the final afternoon hours, and the auction house professionals agree that this arrangement will maximize the benefits.
This auction attracted a lot of attention because of the value of the lots. Dean Huang Qun and others had already been invited by Yun Feiyang, so they also attended this auction, and were arranged by him in a large box, and he personally accompanied them.
Yun Feiyang did not have much interest in the previous lots, although there were some rare masterpieces among them. In the previous lot, a painting of a lady by Tang Bohu was temporarily sold for the highest price of the morning, and the final price was 183 million Chinese dollars.
The item below is one of the six finales of the sale, a 280-carat azure natural loose diamond, the Heart of the Ocean. This loose natural diamond is the most beautiful blue diamond to date, and there is no blue diamond that has ever been born, and the diamond is almost flawless on the inside, the purest blue giant diamond ever found, and it is definitely of the highest quality. This one-of-a-kind 'heart of the ocean', with a starting price of 500 million meters of gold, and a price increase of no less than $1 million each time, is now the auction begins!"
As the auctioneer's words ended, the auction price from the electronic auctioneer continued to rise, and soon reached the critical point of one billion meters of gold.
"Nine hundred and ninety-eight million!"
"Ninety-nine million!"
"One billion ten million!"
At this time, there were four or five buyers participating in the auction, and the price quoted quickly broke through the threshold of one billion meters of gold.
Under the fierce competition among these buyers, the auction price of "Heart of the Ocean" rose rapidly, and soon reached a high price of $1.6 billion.
"1,615 million!"
"1,620 million!"
At this time, the buyers who are still continuing to increase the price are the last two left.
"1.65 billion!"
"1.7 billion!"
"Buyer No. 231, bid 1.7 billion, 1.7 billion for the first time! Has anyone raised the price? 'Heart of the Ocean' is the most beautiful and huge blue diamond to date, it is the only one in the world, unparalleled, and if you miss this opportunity, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!" said the auctioneer.
"1,720 million!"
After a moment of silence, another buyer finally quoted a new price.
"1.75 billion!"
The previous buyer did not hesitate at all, and directly increased the price of 30 million, showing an imperative momentum.
This price is likely to have reached the psychological limit of another buyer, and it was not until the auctioneer was about to drop the hammer that a new price was quoted: 1.8 billion!
But the last buyer was even more imposing, and directly quoted a price of 1.85 billion.
Until the auctioneer called the bid three times, no one continued to increase the price, and the transaction price of "Heart of the Ocean" was finalized, and finally fixed at the price of 1.85 billion.
"Feiyang, congratulations, this transaction price is very good, much higher than I expected. The color of this 'Heart of the Ocean' is truly pure, the most beautiful blue I've ever seen. In fact, in terms of color beauty, it is not inferior to the pigeon's blood red diamond you auctioned in Sotheby, but it is far from the popularity of the market, otherwise the final price will be higher. Master Jin Guangren congratulated.
"I am also very satisfied with this price, I did not expect the top diamonds to be so sought after by the market, it seems that my decision to auction the top diamonds this time is the right one. Yun Feiyang also said very happily.
In the course of the conversation, the auction of the second finale auction item "Wufu Linmen Jade Pair Bracelet" began.
This pair of jade bracelets is composed of five colors, that is, red, green, white, purple and yellow, which is rare and precious in the world, and this is the purest color and the best quality of a pair of jade bracelets found so far. The five colors in this pair of jadeite bracelets are all glass texture, and each color is extremely pure, except for the transparent white, which are pigeon's blood red, emerald, violet, and chanterelle, all of which are the rarest and purest colors. Its beauty is irresistible, there is no second pair of such precious jade bracelets in the world, once you miss it, it will be absolutely regrettable for life! The starting price is 200 million meters of gold, and each increase shall not be less than 500,000 meters of gold, and the auction begins!"
Although this pair of jade bracelets is also extremely rare and rare, its audience is far smaller than the "Heart of the Ocean" just now, and most of the people participating in the auction are Southeast Asians, of which the Chinese account for the majority. In the end, this pair of jadeite bracelets sold for 580 million meters of gold at auction with the extremely rare five pure colors and the highest quality, setting the highest price for jadeite jewelry in the world.
The last lot of the morning was the Bust of Christ, which was the most anticipated lot of the morning. It is said that the head sect of the Heavenly Saint Sect and several major sects are bound to win the auction of this portrait, and they have allocated a huge amount of special funds to participate in this auction. In addition to the Heavenly Saint Sect, many Heavenly Saint Sect disciples and the vast number of wealthy collectors are also ready to participate in the auction with huge sums of money.
"This "bust of Christ" is a masterpiece created by the great master Yun Feiyang, I just want to say one word about the introduction of this portrait, standing in front of this portrait, you seem to see the true body of Christ, the love and majesty of God, and the Christ in the portrait is vividly embodied. I think you already know the other aspects of this portrait very well, and I won't go into the preciousness of it here. I would only like to add here that this "Bust of Christ" and the "Lotus Statue of Guanyin in the Sea of Clouds", which will be auctioned in the afternoon, Mr. Yun Feiyang will donate all the proceeds from the final auction of these two works to the upcoming Feiyang Charity Fund. Here, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation and admiration for Mr. Yun Feiyang's kind deeds and loving heart, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Yun Feiyang on behalf of myself. The starting price is 1 billion meters of gold, and each increase must not be less than 5 million meters, and now the auction begins!" said the auctioneer with emotion.
After listening to the auctioneer's words, Dean Huang Qun said to Yun Feiyang with deep feelings: "I was very opposed to your auction of these two portraits, I think these two portraits are our national treasures in China, and they are the most important national treasures, and I really don't want to see these two national treasures lost abroad." Now it seems that my thinking is a little narrow-minded, even if these two national treasures are lost abroad, they can still promote the highest traditional painting skills of our country to the world, and you have used all the proceeds from the auction of these two portraits as charity, which makes everyone admire. The artistic conception expressed by these two portraits is originally compassion and benevolence, and what you do is completely integrated with the artistic conception of the two portraits, and no matter where these two portraits are spread, its spirit has forever remained in our country. ”
