The attendees at this auction were all collectors and entrepreneurs from around the world, all of whom were successful individuals.
They recognized the two people behind them at a glance.
On one side is the Luo family of North America, whose influence extends throughout the entire continent, while on the other side is a young-looking man named Gu Yibei, the young master of the noble Gu family of Country Y.
He is a legendary figure internationally.
Rumor has it that Gu Yibei has been interested in business since childhood, and he often followed his father, who was granted a noble title, and was influenced by what he saw and heard.
While other kids were still studying, he had already earned his first million dollars. He was a student in MIT’s gifted youth program, earned two degrees at the age of eighteen, and was MIT’s youngest postdoctoral fellow.
After graduating from school, he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey and is now one of the top figures on the Forbes rich list, surpassing his father's achievements and giving the Gu family an unshakeable position in Y country and Asia.
Although he is only in his twenties, his achievements are the pinnacle that most people cannot reach in decades.
Neither of them are easy to mess with, but unexpectedly they've gotten into a fight over a pink diamond today.
This is going to be interesting.
The middle-aged woman hadn't expected to encounter someone like Gu Yibei. She spoke a few words respectfully to the person on the other end of the Bluetooth connection, and the other person nodded in response.
She then smiled politely at Gu Yibei and said, "Mr. Gu, our lady really likes this pink diamond."
Her meaning was very clear: she hoped Gu Yibei would be a gentleman and give way.
Gu Yibei smiled politely and said, "My wife has fair skin, and I think she would look beautiful wearing this ring."
"..." The middle-aged woman was stunned, and the other people in the crowd were also dumbfounded.
Madam? Gu Yibei...is married?
That shouldn't be the case. Given his status and the Gu family's standing in the world, if Gu Yibei were to get married, it would naturally be a grand affair. Why have they never heard any rumors about it?
The middle-aged woman voiced the question on behalf of everyone: "Mr. Gu is married?"
"Soon." Gu Yibei casually stroked his tie clip with his fingertips and replied lazily, "Whether I can win the beauty's heart depends on whether this ring will end up in my hands."
After saying that, he took the sign from Shirakawa's hand and lazily held it up: "Eighty million."
"..."
This time, everyone wasn't just shocked, they were dumbfounded.
They just added 15 million, and now they've added another 20 million, 20 million US dollars!
Is this what they mean by "rich and willful"? Spending money like water, he throws out millions at a time.
Looks like they really do have a gold mine at home.
The host was so startled he almost dropped the microphone.
The most expensive pink diamond ever auctioned was only 60 million, and now it's 80 million?!
As if afraid that Gu Yibei might change his mind, the host quickly shouted, "Mr. Gu, number 88, has bid 80 million. Is there anyone who bids higher?"
Everyone's eyes were on the middle-aged woman, who also looked troubled.
While pink diamonds are precious, spending $80 million to buy one is indeed excessively extravagant.
Besides, Gu Yibei himself said that whether he can win the heart of the beauty depends on whether he can win the bid for this pink diamond. They can't just force the ring on him and break them up.
Another command came through the Bluetooth connection, and the middle-aged woman immediately replied, "Yes, Madam."
