Chapter 75 I'll take it back and make jewelry for you
At 7 o'clock in the evening, the auction started on time. The lighting in the hall became very atmospheric, which could stimulate people's consumption desire to the greatest extent.
The host took the microphone and said something polite: "Welcome everyone to this charity auction. Seventy percent of the proceeds from this auction will be donated to the Global Fund..."
After he finished speaking, the first auction item came on stage, and the large screen behind him showed the details of the picture.
"This is the first lot of this auction, a Tang Dynasty landscape painting..." The host first boasted about the painting's value, "The starting price is three million!"
"Three million and two hundred thousand!"
"Three million three hundred thousand!"
"Four million!"
The order of the auction items is from low to high. The later the items are, the rarer and more valuable they are, and the higher the price. Everyone wants to save money to buy better items, so not many people bid for the first auction item.
The big screen in the box shows the status of the auction items simultaneously.
Shang Yuze handed her the tablet and asked, "Do you see anything you like?"
Gu Qingyue's fingers slid across the screen. She was not very interested in antique calligraphy and paintings, precious jewelry.
Shang Yuze opened a box of biscuits and fed it to Gu Qingyue. Looking at the girl's slender wrist, his brows furrowed.
"Why don't you seem to have gained any weight?"
Although he ate a lot every day and got enough nutrition, Gu Qingyue didn't gain much weight.
Gu Qingyue grinned, revealing a row of neat, white teeth: "It's a physical problem. I was born with a natural tendency to not gain weight."
During this period, Shang Yuze took her out to exercise early every morning. Although she didn't gain weight, her complexion was obviously much better, her skin was white and rosy, her mood became very good, and she was happy every day.
Shang Yuze was flipping through the brochure of auction items. When he saw the extremely beautiful blue diamond, the man's eyes narrowed slightly.
This diamond looks pretty good. It will definitely look great on a little girl if it is made into jewelry.
Soon, the auction was more than halfway through.
"These are ten top-grade South Sea gold pearls, each one is 16 mm in size and each one is round and full..." The host explained the South Sea gold pearls in a vivid and moving voice.
An image of South Sea gold beads appeared on the big screen.
As the angle of light changes, the pearls appear a deep brown like molten gold, accompanied by green. When they rotate, they emit a peacock green halo. The three colors interweave to create a gorgeous scene, as if all the glow of the entire ocean is condensed in it, sparkling and dazzling.
“So beautiful!”
Everyone was in an uproar.
After the explanation, the host quoted an offer: "The starting price is 10 million!"
After he finished speaking, the people below started bidding frantically.
"Fifteen million!"
"Twenty million!"
"Thirty million!"
“…”
After a while, the South Sea gold beads were bid up to a high price of 80 million, and only a few people followed suit.
Shang Yuze picked up the bidding device and punched in a number: "Buyer number one, 100 million."
The sky-high price of 100 million stopped everyone present in their tracks. South Sea gold beads are extremely rare, but spending 100 million on them is clearly not worth it.
Gu Qingyue was scrolling through her phone, slowly turning cherries. When she heard their box number, she was startled for a moment, looked up at Shang Yuze, and asked in confusion.
"Why are you filming this?"
Shang Yuze's fair and slender fingers played with the bidding device and gave her a doting smile: "This pearl is of good quality. I'll buy it and make it into jewelry for you."
"No, I have enough jewelry already."
When she first went to Shang Jia's old house, her grandfather gave her a lot of jewelry, and Shang Yuze also bought her a lot. She didn't like wearing jewelry, so those things were all left unused at home.
"It's okay, just take turns wearing them." Shang Yuze said lightly.
The host made the final decision, and Shang Yuze bought these ten South Sea gold pearls at a high price of 100 million yuan.
The next item was brought up quickly.
Gu Qingyue has never been interested in things she doesn't understand. She lowered her head and continued to browse her phone. Shang Yuze fed her some snacks and fruits from time to time.
If you don't know how meticulous he is, you might think he has a daughter.
At the same time, in box number two.
"Mr. Ji, this is the largest blue diamond at this auction." The assistant handed the tablet to the young man in front of him with both hands.
The man took the tablet. His fingers were long and slender, with distinct joints, as smooth and beautiful as jade. The black mechanical watch on his cold white wrist exuded a cold metallic texture.
"Yu'er's birthday is coming soon, and this blue diamond can be made into jewelry for her."
His eyebrows are deep and sharp, his facial lines are clear and cold, and under his thick and long eyelashes are a pair of slender eyes. The slightly curved corners of his eyes add a touch of devilish charm to him. His every move carries the powerful aura of a superior.
At this point, Ji Yanzhi's eyes dimmed a bit: "I don't know where she is now? Is she doing well?"
The assistant hurriedly comforted her, "Boss Ji, Miss is blessed by fate and will be safe."
Ji Yuzhi is the only daughter of the Ji family. As soon as she was born, she was named a princess by her uncle, the president of Country C. She was the apple of everyone's eye and should have been the center of attention. However, she was kidnapped by her enemies at her first birthday party.
Although the person behind the scenes was later found, the eldest daughter had long since disappeared. Now the Ji family has been searching for her for 19 years with no trace.
Ji Yanzhi sighed, "It's been almost nineteen years. I don't know when we can be reunited as a family."
After this birthday, Yu'er will be twenty years old.
Over the years, the Ji family and the Presidential Palace have sent groups of people to search, but there is no clue at all.
The assistant didn't know what to say. After all, this eldest daughter was the pain in the hearts of everyone in the Ji family. Every year on her birthday, the Ji family would prepare gifts.
After the mistress of the Ji family searched for her daughter in vain, she began to pray to gods and Buddhas everywhere and has not appeared in the public eye for more than ten years.
Two hours later, the finale item finally appeared.
"Next is the finale of this auction, the Oppenheimer Blue, the world's largest existing blue diamond."
The host excitedly introduced, "This blue diamond weighs 14.62 carats and has been certified as flawless, with a color reaching the highest level of Fancy Vivid blue."
The world's largest blue diamond, a vivid blue at that, aroused the curiosity of everyone present. Everyone was eagerly waiting, wanting to see what this blue diamond looked like.
All the cameras on the scene moved forward, aiming at the blue diamond in 360° without blind spots. The staff wearing white gloves carefully peeled off the red cloth on it. In an instant, a bright blue color tilted out from the glass box.
The color of diamonds is rich and vivid, and the near-perfect purity allows light to pass smoothly through the interior of the diamond, reflecting light that is dazzling, flawless, and breathtakingly beautiful.
