Chapter 155 Bidding
But in any place, age doesn’t matter. What matters most is wealth and status.
Perhaps because he could see that Song Zhining didn't like socializing, Shao Hongyu left after exchanging a few pleasantries.
He himself didn't expect to get along well with Song Zhining. He just wanted to show up so that he could get in touch with her if anything happened in the future.
Not long after Shao Hongyu left, the auction began.
Many of the big guys who came today came for the blue diamond, and of course, they also came for Song Zhining who was behind the blue diamond.
The fact that she was generous enough to donate a blue diamond weighing nearly 2,000 carats to auction is enough to show how wealthy Miss Song was.
If I could get with her, then...
And I heard that she is not married yet, young, beautiful and rich. If they can marry a woman like this and make her their daughter-in-law or granddaughter-in-law, it would be a great fortune from heaven.
So, this time, many bigwigs came with their children and grandchildren who they thought were outstanding.
I hope to be noticed by Miss Song.
Unfortunately, the auction venue is a series of anonymous private rooms, and you can't see who is sitting inside from the outside.
The people at Tianyuan Auction also kept the information of the guests in each box confidential, so when they arrived, they really didn't know where Miss Song was, otherwise they would definitely go to visit her.
Now that I can’t pay a visit, I can only see if I can meet him at the dinner party later.
If Song Zhining knew this, she would definitely feel relieved.
After all, she doesn't like socializing and doesn't plan to socialize with other bigwigs.
She herself is not a person who likes to socialize and make friends. What's more, these people come for her current status and wealth, so Song Zhining feels that it is unnecessary.
At this time, Song Zhining was concentrating on watching the auction.
Items were brought up one after another, and bidding continued in the box.
"Miss, if you see something you like, you can take a picture of it," Charles reminded.
Song Zhining nodded, but so far she hadn't seen anything that interested her.
The things in the shipwreck were all excellent. She couldn't see or use them all, so she didn't need to spend money to buy anything else.
As the president of Xingyao Entertainment, Li Jing naturally also sent an item for auction. It was a headdress worn by a concubine of the Ming Dynasty, which was also very beautiful.
As each item was sold, it was finally time for the finale.
"Next is the last lot, sent by Ms. Song Zhining, CEO of Brilliant Entertainment."
"Natural blue diamond."
As the four words fell, the cloth was lifted. Under the light, the egg-sized diamond shone blue, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
As the turntable rotated, the blue diamond appeared closer to everyone on the big screen.
The blue diamond lay there quietly, emitting a mysterious and charming light. Its color was like the deep ocean, blue and clear, as if it contained endless mysteries.
Under the light, the blue diamond is dazzling, and the light is like stars twinkling in the night sky, or like the dreamy aurora dancing.
Viewed from different angles, blue diamonds can reflect brilliant and colorful light, and each ray of light seems to be telling of its uniqueness and preciousness.
The pure and rich blue seems to attract people's souls, making people involuntarily immersed in its beauty, unable to extricate themselves. It is like a masterpiece outlined by nature with the most magical brushstrokes, shining with unique brilliance.
"Beautiful, so beautiful."
"It's naturally formed and doesn't even need to be cut. It's the most beautiful in its original form."
"Sure enough, the power of nature is the most magical."
"No matter which woman you give this blue diamond to, I guarantee that every woman will like it."
Everyone at the auction was impressed by the brilliance of the blue diamond and was filled with admiration.
The auctioneer then explained the various properties of the blue diamond. "This blue diamond has a starting price of 100 million. Each increment must be no less than 50 million. The bidding begins..."
"200 million."
"300 million."
"350 million."
…
As soon as the auction started, bigwigs started bidding, and in the blink of an eye it reached 2 billion, and the price continued to rise.
As the price goes up, many people with insufficient funds have to withdraw regretfully, and the only ones left are those with strong funds bidding.
Li Jing came here today intending to bid for the blue diamond, but Song Zhining said she would give it to him as a gift, so there was no need for him to buy it.
In the end, the blue diamond was bought by a pharmaceutical tycoon for 5.5 billion.
"Hiss, 5.5 billion, even if I bid, I probably won't be able to buy it." Li Jing murmured.
It’s not that the blue diamond is not worth the price, but he can’t afford that much money. Of course, the Li Group can afford it, but there is no need to.
If their mother knew that they two brothers spent 5.5 billion to buy her a diamond, she probably wouldn't agree.
Song Zhining was also very surprised.
To be honest, Song Zhining didn't know much about the value of diamonds, so before today, she didn't know the value of the blue diamond sent for auction today. Just before the auction, when she heard Li Jing say that this blue diamond was worth billions, she was a little dazed and didn't quite believe it.
And now, the blue diamond was indeed sold for 5.5 billion, but she still felt it was a little unreal.
It wasn't that she felt bad about the money, but she was thinking about her large boxes of rough diamonds and jewelry, many of which were about the same size as the blue diamond, and some were even as big as an adult's fist.
How much are those worth?
Song Zhining found it hard to imagine. She thought that if she was short of money in the future, she might consider selling the diamond.
Sell one and you can instantly earn billions, wow.
Thinking of Charles' words, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she did not insist on sending him off, otherwise Xiaojing and Brother Shen would definitely be burdened.
After the auction, Shao Hongyu immediately came to thank Song Zhining for his donation to charity and once again invited Song Zhining to attend the dinner later.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Shao, I have something else to do, so I won't be attending the dinner. Let's get together again next time if there's a chance."
Song Zhining was not interested in the dinner and planned to leave first.
Song Zhining was about to leave, and Shao Hongyu didn't know how to refuse, but he muttered in his heart that those who had been waiting for the dinner to see Song Zhining might be disappointed.
Shao Hongyu was very respectful to Song Zhining. After all, although most of the money from this blue diamond would be donated to charity, their Tianyuan Auction House also took a commission, which was one tenth. Just look, this blue diamond alone earned him 550 million in commission tonight.
Shao Hongyu now treats Song Zhining as the God of Wealth. Naturally, whatever the God of Wealth says is what he does and he would never dare to offend her.
"Miss, the things have arrived." Charles bowed to Song Zhining.
Shao Hongyu pricked up his ears: Hmm? It's here, what's here?
He was about to see what it was, but in the end he felt it was inappropriate to stay, so he said goodbye and left.
"Then bring it here."
Soon, Charles brought over a gift bag and Song Zhining took out three boxes from it.
When the three boxes were opened one by one by Song Zhining.
Inside was a blue diamond, a green diamond, and a jade hairpin. It was not big, but very pure and brilliant. Its value should be hundreds of millions or even tens of millions.
At this moment, Song Zhining pushed the hairpin jewelry and green diamond in front of Li Jing, "This ruby hairpin is for Auntie, and the green diamond is for you. She should like it."
"What? I have it too!" Li Jing exclaimed.
Song Zhining pushed the blue diamond in front of Shen Xingyi, "Brother Shen, this is for you."
Shen Xingyi looked at the dazzling blue diamond and was stunned. He didn't expect that Ningning had also prepared one for him.
Since they had already agreed on it, the two of them did not refuse and accepted it.
As the auction ended, the dinner began. When the dinner started, Song Zhining had already left through the back door with Li Jing, Shen Xingyi and others.
The three of them also separated at the entrance of the venue.
