The auction began with the official appearance of the female auctioneer in a white professional suit.
The auctioneer Mandy first gave a brief self-introduction and then quickly got to the point.
Let me introduce the first lot of today's auction.
It's a piece of jewelry.
A twenty-carat pink diamond.
Originally, Shi Yan wanted to take a picture and give it to Lin Ran.
But he was stopped by Lin Ran.
She wasn't very interested in this.
The main reason is that she has several of them in her space.
Even bigger than this.
So while others were bidding, she took the auction list on the side and looked at it.
In front are luxury items such as jewelry and watches.
Later on, the items gradually became more valuable.
There are calligraphy and paintings, ancient books, antique porcelain, etc.
But most of them are from abroad.
She couldn't appreciate it a bit.
So just a quick glance.
It was not until Lin Ran looked to the back that she finally saw a domestic item.
It is a painting of Five Horses from the Song Dynasty.
When Lin Ran saw this painting, she was reminded of the domestic cultural relics she had seen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Country M.
These cultural treasures were all stolen by them.
Now it is collected in his own museum.
Lin Ran felt indescribably aggrieved.
Probably no Chinese person can walk out of this museum with a smile.
However, she believed that one day, when their country became so powerful that no one dared to bully it, these cultural relics belonging to China would naturally return.
But right now…
She looked at the "Five Horses" on the list, and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes.
As long as Lin Ran is around, she will never allow domestic cultural relics to flow abroad.
While Lin Ran was distracted, the pink diamond had already been bought away.
Now for the second lot.
A ten-carat pigeon blood red ring.
I believe all the women present here cannot resist the temptation of pigeon blood red.
So they joined the bidding.
Even Shi Xinhan was among them.
As soon as this pigeon blood red ring came out, he felt that it was particularly suitable for Luo Wanjun.
So I wanted to take a picture and give it to Luo Wanjun.
It's perfect for proposing.
When they got married, they had a Chinese-style wedding.
It seems like a good idea to try a Western-style wedding now.
As soon as Shi Xinhan’s bid came out.
Everyone present knew that he wanted to take this photo for his wife.
Although the women were a little reluctant.
Although ten-carat pigeon blood red is rare, it is not impossible to find it if you look for it carefully.
It would be better to give Shi Xinhan some face.
After all, it was the first time they met Shi Xinhan’s wife and children.
It’s not good to snatch things from others as soon as you meet them.
So all of a sudden everyone stopped raising prices.
Shi Xinhan naturally saw everyone's good intentions, and immediately stood up and turned around to bow and thank everyone.
Auctioneer Mandy felt a little sorry when she saw this, but since no one was bidding higher, she had no choice but to confirm three times according to the rules.
Just as she was about to announce that the item belonged to Shi Xinhan, Anna, who was sitting in the first row, spoke up.
“One million!”
Shi Xinhan continued to raise the price.
"1.1 million."
"1.2 million!"
"1.3 million."
“Two million!”
When Anna announced the price, the whole audience was shocked.
Although ten carats of pigeon blood red are very precious, the maximum price it can be auctioned for is 1.5 million gold, which is already a high price.
Who would have thought that Anna would directly raise the price to 2 million.
This is a bit too uneconomical.
Shi Xinhan's face also looked a little unhappy.
Although 2 million is nothing to him, no one wants to be taken advantage of.
And it was Anna who had just embarrassed Luo Wanjun.
He even suspected that Anna was deliberately trying to trick him.
He then asked in a cold voice:
"Miss Anna is blatantly driving up the prices of her own auction items?"
“Mr. Shi is overthinking it;
the rule of the auction is that the highest bidder wins.
There is no such thing as price gouging.”
(Mr. Shi is overthinking it. The rule of the auction is that the highest bidder wins. There is no such thing as price gouging.)
Anna had just been despised by Shi Xinhan and then slapped by old Lincoln.
Now is the time to be unhappy.
Then I heard that Shi Xinhan actually wanted to buy such a beautiful pigeon blood ruby ring as a gift for that old woman.
Why does that old woman do that?
She wears it!
So at that moment, he didn't even have a good face towards Shi Xinhan.
Who made him so short-sighted?
Shi Xinhan naturally realized that Anna was deliberately going against him.
Since he couldn't communicate with Anna, he could only look at old Lincoln.
"What did Mr. Lincoln say?"
Although old Lincoln felt a little bit resentful of Anna's impulsiveness.
But thinking about how Shi Xinhan had just been so disrespectful to him, he also wanted to dampen his opponent's enthusiasm.
Then he pretended to be embarrassed and said:
"I don't know what to do either..."
(I don’t know what to do about this either. It seems like what Anna said makes sense.
If she really likes this ruby ring, I can't stop her from taking a picture, right?)
After hearing this, what else did Shi Xinhan not understand?
