This auction is a charity auction. Each lady donated her collection, which was then bought by other ladies present. All the proceeds will be donated to the Major Disease Center.
They will share the money with children who are seriously ill but have no money for treatment.
Many organizations today rely on charitable donations to make a living.
Jiang Xiuhui discovered this situation, so she started to personally handle these matters in recent years. Every payment has a corresponding record, and the information will eventually be published online. It is fair and just, without any shady dealings.
It is for this reason that many ladies like to invest money here, so that when the information is announced, they can gain a good reputation and promote their own company.
Without a doubt, this is the best marketing method.
The auctioneer has already started to introduce the first piece of collection, which comes from Jiang Xiuhui herself. As everyone knows, she is a gem lover and she will personally go to every gem auction abroad.
The thing she has the most is gems.
So what she sold this time were also gemstones.
The Jubilee Ruby ruby ring is a top-grade gemstone ring that has been popular all over the world in the first half of the year. Its grade has reached the level of pigeon blood red.
Many people were familiar with this gemstone ring because it happened to be a gathering day for ladies and only Jiang Xiuhui did not come. After asking around, everyone found out that she had gone to an auction in New York.
I would rather sacrifice my sisters than bring back the gem.
It is the Jubilee Ruby.
Shen Jiezhu looked at the texture of the gemstone. Its bright color was eye-catching and it looked like it was indeed top quality.
I could hear the ladies talking to each other.
"Isn't this ring Mrs. Jiang's favorite? She always wears it to every party before, why is she putting it up for auction today?"
"I heard that Park Ji-jin told her about this ring. At that time, they had a good relationship. Now that something like this has happened, it's inevitable that she will be reminded of the past with this ring. It's better to sell it and use the money to do some charity work. It can also be regarded as atonement for the many lives lost before."
"Yes, yes, that makes sense!"
Shen Jiezhu was not sure whether Jiang Xiuhui heard their conversation or not. Anyway, from where she was standing, she was standing next to the auction table with the smile on her face unchanged. She was calm and composed, with a gentle smile on her face.
She picked up the microphone and introduced the origin of this gemstone ring. She bought this ring for 3.2 million US dollars at that time. Everyone originally thought that the auction price should also start at 3 million.
Yet she got the price down to the lowest point.
300,000 US dollars.
This price immediately attracted the ladies' attention. If they could buy such workmanship and quality for 300,000, they would really make a fortune.
So everyone started bidding.
"Five hundred thousand."
"80."
"Two million."
…
The price was quickly called up, 3.2 million was the top price, and if it was higher than this price, it would be a loss, so the price was auctioned, and finally stopped at 2.8 million. It was a loss for Jiang Xiuhui, but it was a small profit for the person who won the bid.
The first lot has been sold, and most of the next five collections are from Jeon Hee-jin. In order to celebrate her good sister's return of the group rights, all the things Jeon Hee-jin brought this time are priceless treasures.
Shen Jiezhu didn't quite recognize the things she took out, so Li Youna explained them to her in a low voice.
He talked a lot about where the thing was unearthed, how much it was worth, and so on.
Like a portable commentator worn on the ear, she introduces whatever the auctioneer is auctioning.
Lee Yoo-na has seen many luxury goods and can identify most of them with a high degree of accuracy. Many times, the valuation she gives is the final auction price.
Until the very end, there was something wrong with the way Shen Jiezhu looked at her.
Her own explanation was that she understood the ladies present and knew their bottom line for bidding, which was why she was able to guess so accurately.
…
Hearing this, Shen Jiezhu suddenly had an idea. She suddenly thought that Li Youna is very suitable for sales...
A salesman in the wealthy circle.
If she could be brought into the wizarding pavilion, when the pavilion director discusses cooperation with wealthy families in the future, he could bring her along to test their bottom line. In this way...
Thinking of this, Shen Jiezhu immediately found Li Yuna much more pleasing to the eye, and her eyes became gentler when she looked at her.
Lee Yoona was talking excitedly: "This handbag is the same as the British royal family's handbag. Mrs. Quan personally went to London to customize it. The leather materials used are the best... You, why are you looking at me like that?"
Sister Shen narrowed her eyes and said, "It's okay. I just think what you said is very good."
Exaggerated.
hey-hey.
Lee Yoona pursed her lips, her dimples were round, and she looked happy but also a little embarrassed: "Hey, it's okay, then I will continue?"
"Well, let's go on... Wait, I suddenly thought of a question. You're not going to school now, right?"
"No, I've already graduated."
"So are you working?"
"Just invest in two companies for fun. I don't have to manage our family's companies. My eldest brother is here and he will take care of everything. What's wrong?"
"It just suddenly occurred to me that since your body is so weak, you can find an environment with more spiritual energy to work. That way, your body will get better and better, and you won't be contaminated by those dirty things!"
Is that so?
Lee Yoona moved closer and whispered to her, "Can I follow you? I feel like the spiritual energy you just mentioned is quite abundant around you!"
She felt that following Sister Shen was particularly promising. The director of the wizarding house must be very powerful!
…
Hmm? This is a strange direction?
Which eye of hers can see that there is abundant spiritual energy around her?
Shen Jiezhu organized her words and said, "What I mean is that you can go to the Wizard House to work. You don't have to go there often. Just go there once in a while. It will be good for your health."
Going to the Wizarding House?
Lee Yoo Na never thought of this path.
She felt that metaphysics was actually quite interesting, like Shen Jiezhu, it was quite interesting, it could make money and also uphold justice. From the attitudes of the ladies towards her before, she knew that metaphysicians were still very respected in the wealthy circle.
"You mean, you want me to be a disciple of the wizard academy?"
A brand new idea has emerged!
Sister Shen looked at him carefully and said, "It's not impossible."
If Lee Yoona really became a disciple of the wizard house, the director would probably be so happy that he wouldn't be able to sleep.
Tsk tsk tsk.
"Okay! Then I'll go there tomorrow! Tomorrow...will you go?" Lee Yoona nodded excitedly.
“I have a recording tomorrow.”
Shen Jiezhu actually wanted to go to the Wizarding House to see what was written on the stone tablet with her name engraved on it and how she was introduced. She was so curious!
It’s a pity that there is a recording tomorrow, so I can only go in the evening.
"Oh, that's right." Lee Yoona finally responded, "You have a shoot with Cha Eunwoo tomorrow, and it will take five days. Doesn't that mean you can't go to the wizard house for five days?"
Oh? Filming with Cha Eunwoo?
Shen Jiezhu smiled inconspicuously. Lee Yoona was a relative of the director. Was she told the answer in advance? She was originally worried about meeting the scumbag that Ouni mentioned, but she didn't expect it to be another one.
That's good.
"The next piece of collection was donated by Miss Shen Jiezhu..."
Finally, the collection she donated arrived and Shen Jiezhu looked up at the auction table.
I just picked this piece of jade from a box in the cloakroom. It is very beautiful and should be worth a lot. I will sell it in the name of the original owner to help those poor people and accumulate some blessings for her. I hope she will be happy in her next life.
Lee Yoona didn't expect that Shen Jiezhu also donated her collection. She was a little surprised for a moment: "You donated something? What did you donate? How much is it? I'll give you an estimate!"
this……
In fact, she herself didn't know the price.
The ladies around also turned around to look over, with a hint of curiosity on their faces, but all with good intentions.
"Ms. Shen, you made a donation. Actually, you don't need to donate. You are a junior, you just need to have fun."
Mrs. Li was all smiles.
Shen Jiezhu smiled at her and said, "This is a small gift from the younger generation. I hope it can help those poor children."
"Miss Shen is really thoughtful."
Shen Jiezhu thanked the ladies for their compliments one by one, and then looked towards the auction table.
The moment she turned her head, her eyes accidentally met Jiang Xiuhui's through the gap in the crowd. The other person smiled at her, as if to thank her.
Shen Jiezhu bowed her head to her just as she did before.
Humble and low-key.
On the other side, Quan Xizhen shook her wine glass, glanced at the figure in the crowd, and said casually: "This Zhuzhu is quite thoughtful. In this kind of place, the younger generation does not need to donate anything, but I didn't expect her to donate."
Jiang Xiuhui withdrew her gaze.
"Yes, she is the only young person present who donated. She donated money when she had it, she was generous and kind-hearted. It seems that I have a good taste!"
"Hahaha!" Hearing her smug tone, Jeon Hee-jin couldn't help but laugh out loud, "You don't even know what he donated, yet you're bragging about it like this? What if it's not worth the money?"
All donations are kept secret and no one knows what is inside the box until the auctioneer opens it.
Jiang Xiuhui said: "It doesn't matter if it's not worth the money. What matters to me is not the value of her donation, but the heart behind it!"
Jeon Hee-jin admires Sim Ji-joo very much, so she immediately said: "Don't worry, no matter what she donates, I will buy it at twice the price. It's rare to meet such an interesting young person, so of course I have to support her!"
"Is that what you said?"
"Yeah, I said it!"
At the auction table, the auctioneer opened the box and when he saw what was inside, he was stunned for a moment and his face looked a little strange.
It took him a long time to react and he turned the box around to show it to everyone.
"What Miss Shen Jiezhu donated is... the Star of Zhaoyi!"
!!!
The smile on Jeon Hee-jin's face froze instantly, and her fingers tightened around the wine glass. Kang Soo-hui also straightened up instantly and looked up.
It’s really the star of Zhaoyi!
All the ladies present were stunned.
How could it be Zhaoyi Star?
This was the highest bidder at a public auction in Myanmar 20 years ago! The best purple jadeite ever!
It was sold for 30 million US dollars 20 years ago. After it was bought, it disappeared for 20 years. Everyone thought that this collection would never come out again. Who would have thought that it would be reappeared today?
Or was it taken out by Shen Jiezhu?
Who is Shen Jiezhu? Why can she take out the Zhaoyi Star? !
"Pig! How come you have the Zhaoyi Star? You you you..." Lee Yoona stuttered.
Zhaoyi Star is the most expensive jadeite ever sold at auction in all these years, ranking first!
In the following years, even though prices have skyrocketed, no jade has been able to break its record!
"Zhaoyi Star?" Shen Jiezhu blinked her eyes. The name sounded nice and it really matched the jadeite itself, but she really didn't expect the price.
"Yes, Zhaoyi Star, it's not an exaggeration to say that it is the king of emeralds. Who are you, sister? You are my sister, my dear sister! I will call you sister from now on!"
Lee Yoo Na came closer and held Shen Jiezhu's arm tightly, and the auction officially began to everyone's shock.
It sounds a bit ridiculous, but Shen Jiezhu's starting price for this jadeite is... fifty thousand US dollars.
It's ridiculously low.
The lower the price, the more intense the competition becomes. The prices increase so quickly that those who are slow to react don't even have time to react.
"Five million!"
From 50,000 to 5 million, the first span has been reached.
"30 million."
It is the same as the auction price of that year. Of course, everyone knows that 30 million 20 years ago is not the same as 30 million now, so this price is far from enough.
"Forty million."
"Fifty million."
"Three hundred million."
…
These two simple words silenced everyone. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice. It was Jeon Hee-jin, who offered 300 million.
Jeon Hee-jin has made her move, so there is no point in arguing any further. She will definitely get whatever she likes at the auction.
Someone thought she could try again. She thought 300 million was Jeon Hee-jin's bottom line: "330 million."
However, facts proved that she still underestimated Quan Xizhen's bottom line. When she raised the price, she had no bottom line at all.
"Five hundred million."
!!!!!!!
Well, the Zhaoyi Star was already hers, and no one here could come up with 500 million to compete with her for it. Whether it was for charity or for her own collection, 500 million was simply too high a sum.
If it exceeds the original value of this jadeite, it will already be a loss.
No one knows why Quan Xizhen asked for such a high price. It was already the limit of 300 million, but he insisted on adding 200 million.
"Ahhhh! Sis! Did you hear that?! Five hundred million! Zhaoyi Star sold for five hundred million! You are so awesome! You are simply a monster! No, no, you are simply a god!!"
After the star of Soui appeared, the other collections that followed seemed too mediocre, and Jeon Hee-jin did not raise her head again until the end of the auction.
She found a quiet corner and looked at the purple jade in the box in silence for a long time.
After the auction, everyone was free to move around and have some desserts, chat, play games, etc.
At this time, Jeon Hee-jin chose to look for Shen Jiezhu...
Instead of chatting, they just forced people to drink under various pretexts.
…
Let’s take a look at the forum at 10pm——
[OP: Sisters! I waited for a whole day and finally found Shen Jiezhu! She has finished the auction. Now my car is following her car. It feels like it is not the way home. I will update any situation! [Video][Picture]]
【Squat, lift your buttocks slightly.】
[It feels like the pig is drunk and needs someone to help him walk. ]
[Being forced to drink? That's dangerous! ]
[Just kidding, who dares to force her to drink? I think she just drank too much accidentally. Isn't Xiaomi here? Oh, she will be fine! ]
【Hurry up! Hurry up! 】
[It's been two minutes. Where have you been? ]
[It's been five minutes. How many five minutes can a person have in his life? I will wait for you for five more minutes at most! Don't be ignorant of the good and the bad, the original poster! ]
…
[It's been fifteen minutes, is the host still here? You didn't open a thread and then went home to sleep...]
[OP: I'm back. How should I put it? It's a bit magical. I followed Shen Jiezhu all the way, and then she went to the wizard house...]
[Why are you going to the Wizarding Hall so late? Oh, she is the director of the Wizarding Hall. She is not going to class, right?]
[Hahahaha what the hell, it's so late and I still have to go to class even though I'm drunk. Suddenly I don't know whether I should feel sorry for her or for the students in the wizard hall.]
[Zhuzhu is a working model in the entertainment industry! She was on a dating variety show the day before yesterday, had a concert yesterday, attended a banquet for wealthy people today, and attended classes at the wizarding house tonight... This span is quite a big gap. This is the first time I'm a fan of such an idol. I'm not used to it! ]
[Me too! But I’m trying to get used to it hahaha! ]
