The Pink Star is the largest pink diamond in existence now, and this is indisputable.

In history, a larger pink diamond appeared, but the diamond has now been polished several times and is only 59 carats, a little smaller than the one that appeared at the auction.

Moreover, the pink diamond, whose original name was "Sea of ​​Light" was later renamed "Eye of Light", was not as pure as this pink star.

The Sea of ​​Light was in the early 17th century. In the Golconda Valley in India, tens of thousands of Indian slaves dug sand and gravel in the Coral mine there. Among dozens of tons of variegated quartz gravel, they found a special stone - pure and transparent with a light rose red, weighing 787 carats. This is the predecessor of the famous diamond that was later called "Eye of Light" - the "Sea of ​​Light".

At that time, it was the largest piece of pink gem diamond in the world.

However, after several masters, the diamond was finally polished to less than 60 carats, which was not as big as the "Pink Star".

The current "Eye of Light" is embedded in the center of the Iranian king's crown!

...

Although this "pink star" caused a sensation on the scene, after the auction actually started, not many people held up the bid. Because the price was too high, most people were not qualified to participate in the auction.

“55 million!”

Zhou Jin raised the bidding sign and directly pushed the price up by $5 million.

Zhou Jin is now the general manager of Chow Tai Fook Group and is also the successor of the group, at an age of thirties.

In recent years, under his leadership, Chow Tai Fook Group's business scale has expanded rapidly, and the four major jewelry designers in Xiangjiang were also recruited by Chow Tai Fook.

Although Chow Tai Fook is very famous in Hong Kong and the mainland, Chow Tai Fook is much less famous in Asia, especially in other continents.

This bid for "Pink Star" is also a marketing planned by Zhou Jin.

If you can take a picture of this rare treasure, then Chow Tai Fook's fame will definitely leave a deep impression among the top rich people.

You should know that only by owning a large number of top jewelry can the real rich people attract visitors.

Top-grade jewelry is the most profitable.

The 5 million increase in price at one time directly dispelled many people's idea of ​​competing with Zhou Jin for this diamond.

“56 million.”

A person with a Baodao accent also raised a bid.

Zhou Jin knew this person from Baodao and was also a colleague and the boss of Baodao's largest jewelry store. Obviously, the other party was also thinking about Zhou Jin.

“60 million!”

Zhou Jin refused to give in and jumped the price again, calling 60 million, and OnePlus was 4 million US dollars. This is clearly telling the other party, stop fighting, you don’t have money without me!

There was a commotion at the scene, and those who could come to participate in jewelry auctions knew more or less common sense about jewelry.

The current auction price of this 60 carats is already considered one carat and one million US dollars!

What are the common diamonds on the market?

1 carat, VG cut, I color, VS clarity, with GIA certificate, international public price is about US$5,500.

At this price, the 60-carat pink star is only 330,000 US dollars, but it has now been raised to a sky-high price of 60 million US dollars.

Is it Chow Tai Fook's successor Zhou Jin and the treasure island jeweler? Obviously not.

Diamonds cannot be calculated based on weight like gold. This thing belongs to the gem category. The price depends on clarity, color and size!

Simply put, after the chromatic clarity reaches the top, the larger the diamond, the more valuable it is, and the price increase is like a geometric increase.

A diamond of 1 carat is about 5,500 US dollars, while a diamond of 10 carat may rise to millions of US dollars!

And those with a value of more than 50 carats are priceless! None of them may have appeared on the market in many years, which is why the 60 carat pink star was called to $60 million.

Scarcity makes things valuable!

Sure enough, Zhou Jin's bidding forced the competitor away. The other party shook his head and smiled bitterly. Obviously, he thought that the risk that he would take to buy Pink Star at this price was too great and not worth it.

Both of them are in jewelry business, and of course they have had a detailed assessment of how much Pink Star is worth.

After the auction was redesigned, there is a rough estimate of what price it can be sold.

Therefore, their bidding is not casual, and they all have their own upper limit. Once the price reaches the upper limit, they will never act voluntarily and will choose to give up decisively.

Because their auction is not for buying what they like, but just a commercial investment.

Seeing that the scene became cold and the scene was silent, the auctioneer quickly spoke.

"Is anyone else bidding? This pink star is the largest and most clarified pink diamond in the world. This rare treasure can only be encountered once in a few years. If you miss it, it will be too late to regret it again!"

Jahard, sitting in the corner, was very calm. He knew that Wang Ye’s goal was to attend the auction.

The real big customer hasn't taken action yet!

As expected, Wang Ye saw that no one was calling for a price again, so he raised the bidding sign.

“65 million.”

Zhou Jin turned his head in surprise and looked at Wang Ye. He didn't know this young man, obviously he was not a colleague who made jewelry.

Most people will not buy such huge diamonds because even if they buy them back, they still need to be designed and processed again.

And to be honest, this diamond is too huge and the price is too expensive. No rich man with a net worth of 10 billion is willing to buy it.

Except for his jewelry business and who bid for investment purposes, who would casually take out hundreds of millions of cash to buy a diamond, and it was an undesigned and processed diamond?

However, Wang Ye’s price was shouted out, and Zhou Jin had to shout again, and he didn’t want to give up.

“66 million!”

At this price, Zhou Jin has no courage to raise prices for several million each time.

Wang Ye smiled indifferently: "70 million."

When Zhou Jin heard about this price, he was a little doubtful if Wang Ye was arranged by Christie’s!

Before participating in the auction, he studied with the jewelry experts in the company for a long time, and the final highest price was US$70 million!

If you buy it below this price, you can make a profit after their design and processing.

But if it is higher than this price, the risk is very high.

So Zhou Jin's psychological price is US$70 million.

Now Wang Ye has rated 70 million in one go, which is just stuck at Zhou Jin's psychological price.

This is very uncomfortable. Should I bid again?

Zhou Jin was trapped in a fierce psychological struggle and was difficult to choose for a while.

"Are you still going to bid? The first time 70 million!"

The auctioneer has already started counting down on the stage.

“71 million!”

Zhou Jin still gritted his teeth and participated in the auction again, which was already higher than his expected price, but he was unwilling to give up. He would pay for his unwillingness to pay for his unwillingness.

In fact, if there are tens of millions of dollars, they can also pay it out.

But his participation in the auction this time represents the company and cannot let him act voluntarily. If he really competes with Wang Ye and finally gets a sky-high price of over 100 million yuan, even if he buys it, his ability and self-control will probably be questioned by the company's senior management.

Moreover, Chow Tai Fook is a listed company, and he will even be questioned by shareholders.

Wang Ye has already seen that this competitor is at the end of his strength.

“75 million.”

This price completely made Zhou Jin lose the bidding intention. This young man who speaks standard Mandarin really doesn’t take money as money!

Zhou Jin's seat was very close to Wang Ye. He put down the bidding sign and said to Wang Ye with a graceful smile: "Congratulations, you won."

Wang Ye also smiled and nodded: "I've given up."

The price is worth this, and everyone present knows that it is settled.

Jahard was ecstatic. He expected to be sold for $65 million, and the current price was $10 million higher than he expected!

There is no standard price for this kind of thing. How much it can be sold depends entirely on how much the people participating in the auction like it, and of course, it also depends on how rich the person who likes it is.

Obviously, today I met Wang Ye, a person who likes and has strong financial resources, and bought this high price that exceeded expectations.

"75 million first time!"

“75 million second time!”

“The third time of 75 million!”

"Bang!" The auction hammer fell, and Wang Ye successfully bid for the Pink Star.

The audience stood up and applauded and congratulated Wang Ye.

At the auction, being able to witness such a record-breaking auction with one's own eyes is also the honor of all participants.

The Pink Star is also the last bid for this "magnificent jewelry and jade jewelry" auction, and the auction officially ended.

As soon as the show ended, Zhou Jin got up and came to Wang Ye, took out his business card, handed it on both hands: "Hello, I am Zhou Jin, general manager of Chow Tai Fook Group."

Of course, those who do jewelry business like him hope to get to know more wealthy people, all of whom are potential customers.

Wang Ye was also a little surprised when he heard Zhou Jin's self-introduction. He didn't expect that this person who competed with him was actually Chow Tai Fook's successor.

"Pengcheng, Wang Ye."

Wang Ye also took out his business card and handed it to Zhou Jin.

He did not introduce his name because it was difficult to introduce it, and it seemed like he was showing off when he spoke it out.

Chairman of Huashang International, Chairman of Meigou.com, Chairman of Weiye Jiahua Group, Chairman of Fuhua Cosmetics Company, Director of Xingguang Commercial Real Estate, Director of Wanfeng Real Estate Group...

How to introduce this series of titles?

So just make it simple and just report your name.

Zhou Jin took the business card with both hands, looked carefully, and said in surprise: "So you are Mr. Wang, I have heard of Daming for a long time!"

He was not polite, but a true long-standing famous name.

Zhou Jin needs to study the Forbes Rich List every year to see who have increased their wealth, who have shrunk their wealth, and who have made it on the Rich List.
