It was an ornament carved from jasper. On the pure black stone plate stood a statue of a dragonfly picking lotus flowers. The lotus and even the tiny dragonfly were carved to look lifelike.
The detailed picture of this work was displayed on the big screen, and all the guests present were moved by it.
The host first explained to everyone the material selection and carving techniques of this jade carving, and then introduced the owner of the jade carving.
"Master Erza's fame in the jade carving world goes without saying. Every year, she auctions off one of her most satisfying pieces for charity. Her works have become the most sought-after treasures among jade enthusiasts in recent years. The starting bid for 'Lotus Picking' is 500,000 yuan, and the highest bidder wins!"
Erza is not just a jade carver; she's also Qiao Jiusheng, the sister of tonight's host, Mr. Qiao Sen, and the young mistress of the wealthy Fang family in Binjiang City. The guests were eager to purchase the piece not only for its inherent collectible value, but also to establish a bond with Qiao Sen and the young mistress of the Fang family.
Song Ci recognized Erza. They had met at several fashion parties before, but there was a few years difference in their age and they had different circles of friends, so their relationship was not very good.
Song Ci tilted her head and said to Han Zhan, "How about we buy this? It's quite nice. I see you don't have any decorations on your desk, so this would be quite suitable."
Han Zhan liked the color and shape of the jade and said, "Buy it." If Han Zhan didn't bid, it would be fine. But once he did, the item was his. Han Zhan ultimately bought 'Pick the Lotus' for four million.
Afterwards, they bought a jewel necklace for Mo Yao and did not make any other bids.
Song Fei hadn't bid since the auction began. She was bored and even took out her phone to play Miracle Nikki. This game had cost her tens of thousands of yuan, and Song Fei vowed to become the number one krypton gold player in Miracle Nikki.
However, Yan Jiang saw that one of the dark green bracelets was very beautiful, so he took a picture of it and planned to give it to Song Fei.
Han Qingshen finally arrived halfway through the auction. She and Qiao Sen were old acquaintances, and when she arrived, she sat directly next to him.
Song Ci caught a glimpse of Han Qingshen's figure and asked Han Zhan, "Han Qingshen is here. Why isn't Manager Bei here?"
"He is working overtime. He is entertaining Fox and the others on my behalf." Because Han Zhan was coming to attend the auction, Bei Zhan had to entertain the delegation of inspectors from the UK on Han Zhan's behalf.
Song Ci felt a little sympathetic towards Bei Zhan.
Han Qingshen was very considerate of Qiao Sen. Within a quarter of an hour of sitting down, she had already won two items. After bidding, she stopped bidding and instead lowered her head to chat with Qiao Sen. These two probably treated the auction as a business meeting.
After a few minutes, the jade fox was finally placed on the table.
The so-called jade fox is actually not a jade artifact, but a small gadget carved from red agate. It is called a jade fox because of its bright color and jade-like luster.
The jade fox was exquisitely crafted, but it was not a work of a famous jewelry master and was made of ordinary red agate, so the guests had no interest in it.
The host introduced: "This is a fox carved from red agate. It comes from the eastern Sichuan region. This red fox has the effect of improving endocrine function and enhancing blood circulation. Wearing it for a long time will greatly benefit the body."
Perhaps because they understood that this thing was just a piece of junk, the organizers set a low auction price for it, only 10,000 yuan.
Song Ci raised his sign, "Fifty thousand."
Song Ci thought no one would compete with her for this thing, but she heard a male voice coming from the seats on the west side: "One hundred thousand." It was the voice of a boy who was in the voice change period, a little hoarse.
Everyone thought: Spending 100,000 yuan on such a thing, wouldn’t that be stupid?
Curiously, everyone looked west and recognized the young man as the young master of the Long family, a prominent medical family in Wangdong City. They were all puzzled. Was this thing really that good? Was it worth the young master of the Long family arguing with the owner of Zeus International?
Song Ci also looked at the young man.
Seeing Song Ci looking in his direction, the young master of the Long family blushed silently. He mouthed to Song Ci, "I'm sorry."
Song porcelain is tiring.
This little guy used to follow her around and threatened to marry her when he grew up.
Young love is bullshit.
Song Ci continued to raise the sign, "Two hundred thousand."
The young man calmly added, "Three hundred thousand." The Long family had doctors, both Chinese and Western medicine practitioners, and some made and sold medicine, so they had no shortage of money. The young man was determined to get this red agate fox.
Song Ci and the young man got into an argument. They both continued to raise the price without changing their expressions. They chased each other and actually raised the price of that useless thing to a sky-high price of two million.
Song Ci wanted to back out.
Spending millions on such a junky thing was totally unworthy. She couldn't help but secretly wonder what the chances were of successfully snatching the Red Fox after knocking Young Master Long unconscious.
Seeing that Song Ci had given up and was planning to give up, Young Master Long breathed a sigh of relief.
But before he could finish his breath, a woman in a black suit who looked 90% like Song Ci raised a sign and shouted, "Two and a half million!"
Young Master Long was furious.
Where did this jinx come from?
Young Master Long was about to raise his sign to bid more when his phone suddenly vibrated. He opened his phone and saw a message from his best friend asking for help.
Brother Kun: [Longlong, I was in a car accident! ]
This Brother Kun is the young master's best friend. He won't be an adult until next month, but he's already been secretly racing motorcycles for a year and a half. Young Master Long has tried to persuade him several times to stop playing with such dangerous things, but Brother Kun won't listen.
