Chapter 61 Auction

The hall where the auction was held was right next to the restaurant. It was temporarily converted from a large conference hall, and the rostrum was converted into an auction table. The auction hall looked extremely spacious. There were dozens of large sofas in the front half and hundreds of chairs in the back half. There were tables with fruit drinks in front of each sofa and chair, but it still did not appear crowded. At this time, there were many VIPs sitting. In addition to the people in the restaurant just now, there were a lot of people queuing up at the door. The auction house staff checked the invitations and distributed the information.

Jin Xin took out the invitation and handed it to the staff at the door. The staff didn't open it and gave each of them a copy of the auction items for today. A middle-aged man who stood by the door, Jin Xin felt familiar, was actually Sereya, the president of Southeast Asia of TS Fund. He personally welcomed the three of them in, took them to the front row of sofas, and invited them to sit in, which caused everyone present to murmur, guessing who this young man looked casually dressed was, was actually arranged at the front in the auction hall where wealthy businessmen gathered. Although they all knew Jin Xin, they knew it was definitely not because of her. In their eyes, Jin Xin was just a relatively famous actor and a vase beside the rich man.

Fortunately, the people in Tianshi Castle have always been low-key. TS Fund only controls the companies they belong to behind the scenes. Many people even don’t know the existence of TS Fund. They only know that there is a TS bank, and Sereya only attends some extremely high-end occasions. In Hong Kong, except for some senior government officials and super rich people, not many people know him, otherwise everyone else here will be even more surprised.

The sofa in the front row was very large, and four people could sit together. In addition, Jin Xin and Xiao Wei were slender and leaning against Shi Tian, ​​which was equivalent to only occupying half of the sofa. There were some fruit drinks in front of the sofa. Jin Xin sat a little uneasy, wondering if they had to endure the wrong person, they actually arranged for themselves to sit in the first row. If they found out that they were wrong and asked the three of them to change seats, it would be too embarrassing. I looked at the door behind and the staff just closed the door. It should be that everyone who should have come has arrived, so I felt relieved. When I turned around, I found Xu Shuyuan and Zhou Jianren were sitting next to them. They were looking at them in surprise, as if they were guessing Shi Tian's identity. After connecting with Jin Xin's eyes, they moved to another place.

At this time, an auctioneer walked up to the front desk and first expressed his welcome and thanks to the VIPs who came to the auction. Then he made a brief humorous opening remark, mobilized the atmosphere of the venue, and officially started the auction. There were more than 30 items auctioned tonight, including jewelry, antiques, famous paintings, etc., all of which were luxury goods. The lowest price was hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, and the highest was two jewelry with more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, which was the two jewelry that Pirney picked out from the Shitian box.

Shi Tian was not interested in the items auctioned in front, so he picked up the items information sent to the door just now and saw which two items he bought today. Jin Xin didn't think about what to buy, and was also taking the information to appreciate the two treasures he had auctioned. Xiao Wei threw her information aside and leaned on Shi Tian's shoulder to see the information in his hand.

Shi Tian flipped directly to the page of the two items. The first one was a necklace. The pendant was a 32-carat oval light blue diamond. The surroundings were foiled by 16 high-quality South African diamonds. The chain was made of 18K white gold and countless small diamonds. It was very dazzling from the photos. The introduction said that this necklace had records in the French royal family. It was carefully made for a favored imperial concubine by the royal jeweler. It has a history of more than 200 years and was mysteriously missing more than 100 years ago. Another auction item was a pair of mutton fat jade bracelets. The two bracelets were the same size and were pure white all over, which was adorable. The introduction said that it was recorded in the Dutch royal family and was also lost more than 100 years ago. Both treasures have been identified by multiple experts and are accompanied by an appraisal letter signed by multiple experts.

Shi Tian no longer had any impression of this necklace. Most of his dozen boxes were diamond jewelry, because diamonds were not easy to wear and tear, and no matter how they were preserved, the quality would not change. This necklace was a relatively inferior jewelry Pirney picked out from the box, and Shi Tian could not remember its origin. However, Shi Tian still had an impression of this pair of bracelets. First, because there were fewer jade in Shi Tian's box, and then the Qing government at that time often gave gifts to these royal families due to the strength of some Western countries. After Shi Tian learned about it, he sneaked into these royal families and took them back with the principal and profit. This pair of bracelets was one of them.

Shi Tian put the information with two rare photos in front of Xiao Wei and asked, "Which one do you like?"

Xiao Wei looked up at Shi Tian, ​​smiled slightly, then shook her head and said softly: "This is not something I can like."

Shi Tian smiled and said, "Then which one did you think looks good?"

Xiao Wei looked at the photos on the information and said, "The bracelet looks good, it's so cute."

Jin Xin on the other side interrupted, "Of course the necklace is good, that diamond has 32 carats!"

Xiao Wei didn't refute, smiled and said "Oh", then leaned against Shi Tian's shoulder. Anyway, she felt that it was not her business. She didn't know the quality of jade, but because Shi Tian asked her to answer which one looked good, she said it based on her feelings. She also knew that 32 carat diamonds were rare and must be extremely expensive, so she felt that what Jin Xin said was right. Jin Xin was very interested and wanted to talk to Xiao Wei about two treasures. Seeing that she was cold in reaction, she could only glance at her in disappointment, and then continue to pick up the information and appreciate it.

After repeated hammering, the items auctioned in front were successfully found. No item failed to be sold. The highest transaction price was a jade seal from the Ming Dynasty, with a starting price of 1.6 million Hong Kong dollars, but it was bought for 4.65 million Hong Kong dollars, nearly twice the starting price. In the end, the auctioneer won applause when he sounded the hammer.

At this time, the auctioneer moistened his voice and said loudly: "Now please send out the two most important treasures we have tonight!" Amid the applause of everyone, several security guards pushed a cart to the stage. A beautiful blonde woman in a dress lifted the silk cloth covered on the cart and showed two exquisite wooden boxes. The woman opened one of the wooden boxes, took out a box made of crystal from the wooden box, and then held it on her chest. She could clearly see the items inside. It was the diamond necklace in the data photo, but it was more gorgeous than in the photo. The light reflected by the light blue diamond on the pendant made the ladies present hold their breath.
