Chapter 52 The Auction (2)
"The first one to participate in the auction were five night pearls sold by Li Yueling and Mr. Li, with a starting price of two million yuan per piece."
Hearing the auctioneer's introduction, Jin Nuanyu immediately looked at Li Yueling, who was smiling beside her and said strangely: "You have something to send for sale!"
Li Yueling smiled mysteriously and said, "If my husband doesn't have some family background, how dare I invite our Nuanyu to attend the auction together."
When Jin Nuanyu heard this, she didn't ask any further and pretended to be angry and said, "Then you only know how to auction things for money!" The implication was so clear, "I actually hid it from this lady, just selling it. I'm not going to take care of you well when I go back."
Li Yueling pretended to be unaware of it and said seriously: "My wife is not so stingy, be good." Seeing Li Yueling playing Tai Chi with him, Jin Nuanyu snorted lightly, and simply turned to the side and ignored him.
At this time, the lights of the entire theater suddenly dimmed, and the night pearls covered with red cloth on the auction table were finally displayed in front of everyone.
The moment the auctioneer uncovered the red cloth, a soft light shone out on the auction table, extinguishing the lights. The drowsy theater suddenly became bright. Five round beads of longan size lay quietly in the silver pallet, emitting a faint soft light.
Immediately afterwards, I heard all kinds of exclamations from the audience. It seemed that there were quite a few people interested in the five night pearls that Li Yueling sent to take.
But it is no wonder that these five night pearls were carefully selected by Li Yueling from the various refining materials in the Shenghan Ring, and all of them were the best.
In ancient times, the Night Pearl was also called Suizhu or Moonlight Pearl, and it was a necessary material for refining body-protecting magic weapons in the world of cultivation. With Song Boxue's advanced cultivation back then, his vision was naturally extremely high. It is naturally impossible for him to be attracted to and collected as material for refining. In fact, it should be said that the Night Pearls that can be attracted to by Song Boxue are definitely the best among the top grades. However, if Song Boxue learned that someone in later generations actually took the Night Pearls he collected as material for refining to auction for money, I wonder what he would think!
As for the price set now, Li Yueling chose the best after referring to the expert evaluation. You should know that after the expert appraisal team on Queen No. 2 evaluated these five night pearls, Li Yueling had already understood the true value of these five things from their praises.
Despite this, it seems that Li Yueling still underestimated the temptation of the five Night Pearls he took to the many wealthy merchants present. No, it should be said that it is the temptation of the wives or lovers of the wealthy merchants. For the beautiful treasures like Ye Mingzhu, there is really no way to find a few women who don’t love them.
When the auctioneer announced the start of the auction, the auction meter placed directly above the theater began to flash continuously, jumping from the first two million to five and six million before it stopped.
"5.6 million once, 5.6 million twice...three times, the transaction is completed, congratulations to the guest on No. 42 for purchasing the first night pearl.
After the auctioneer made the final decision, he then started the auction of the next night pearl. As a result, all five were sold at a sky-high price of more than 5 million yuan. The most outrageous thing was that the last night pearl actually sold at an extremely high price of 6.8 million yuan.
"Oh my God! These people are so fucking rich! I just sold a few pieces of refining materials and got nearly 30 million US dollars." Li Yueling didn't expect that these five so-called refining materials could bring him a huge wealth of nearly 30 million US dollars. For a moment, he was a little confused.
After the auction of the night pearls sold by Li Yueling, more than ten items were held for tourists who took to Queen Mary 2. After the auctioneer's voice sounded again, "Next, the last item in this cruise auction, "South Africa Star", one of the four famous diamonds, starts at 8 million yuan, and the auction begins below."
After hearing the auctioneer shouting the starting price of 8 million, many people present gave up the idea of bidding for this rare treasure. The remaining people were waiting and watching, but the first person pressed the auctioneer.
Seeing the price of nine million on the monitor, Li Yueling couldn't help but wonder: "Who is it? He actually added one million at once." However, the price of nine million did not stay on the monitor for long, and the price soon changed again. After several rounds of price increase, the huge number of 15 million on the monitor had reached.
It seems that this price has reached the price limit of this "South Africa Star". Many wealthy people who want to buy this diamond have given up the irrational behavior of continuing to increase the price. However, when the auctioneer shouted "15 million once", the price on the monitor changed again.
"Seat No. 6, bid for 16 million."
Seeing the fluorescent numbers jumping on the auction pricing display, Jin Nuanyu was stunned. "Seat No. 6 is the seat where he and Li Yueling are?" When Jin Nuanyu turned his eyes to Li Yueling, it happened to Li Yueling's smiling face. At this point, how could a girl like Jin Nuanyu not be able to guess Li Yueling's thoughts?
A warm feeling surged into my heart, and I felt deeply lucky to be loved and cared for by such a man. Some of the dissatisfaction that Li Yueling had concealed him just now had long disappeared.
"This is an unexpected surprise for me to give Nuanyu... Let this "South Africa Star" be a witness to our love." Li Yueling slanted over his body and blew softly in Jin Nuanyu's ears.
Such romantic words made Jin Nuanyu, who had just tasted the fruit of love, feel intoxicated. At the same time, he also understood why Li Yueling went to auction the five night pearls. He wanted to buy the "South African Star" for himself through the money he earned as a gift. This kind of intention made Jin Nuanyu look at Li Yueling's beautiful eyes as if they were about to reveal water, and her tenderness and sweetness were all included.
However, it seems that Li Yueling's price of 16 million was not effective in shocking the audience. The price on the monitor changed again, 17 million.
"No. 7?" Seeing the number on the display screen, Li Yueling couldn't help but wonder, "Isn't this person bidding with him the seat next door? And No. 7 next door is... that white Cliff."
It was strange, but Li Yueling would not let the "South African Star" who was about to get it run away. Without thinking, he pressed the black button on the auctioneer.
When the amazing number of "Seat No. 6, 27 million" appeared on the monitor, many people in the audience exclaimed. This price has surpassed the highest value of "South Africa Star". In fact, in the eyes of the assessors, the highest value of "South Africa Star" is only about 13 million. The 17 million I just shot was already shocking. How could anyone expect that there would be another 10 million US dollars on this basis?
However, these can be ignored by Li Yueling. First of all, he doesn't care about the money at all. Secondly, the money is just exchanged for him after selling a few refining materials. He spent it. He didn't feel anything at all. I'm afraid that even the richest man in the world is as calm as Li Yueling now.
While the audience was shocked by this outrageous price, the auctioneer hit the hammer to decide who “South Africa Star” belongs, “Congratulations to the gentleman in the No. 6 seat for purchasing the “South Africa Star”.”
Originally, Li Yueling was worried that Jin Nuanyu would blame him for spending money indiscriminately, but the latter had long been intoxicated in the ocean of happiness when Li Yueling pressed the black price increase button.
