As soon as a few people entered the auction site and found their own box to sit down, they saw that the auctioneer below had been quietly replaced.
This time, the man who walked onto the stage was an intellectual and elegant man. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, a white shirt, and an exquisite black tie. He looked both capable and elegant.
His hair was combed neatly, and a few strands of hair fell just right on his forehead, adding a bit of softness and charm. His eyes were deep and bright, and there was a smile on the corners of his mouth, giving people a feeling of intimacy yet majesty.
"Dear guests, good evening!" He bowed slightly and gave the audience an elegant gentleman's salute. "I will be serving you at tonight's auction. On behalf of the auction organizers, I would like to express my sincere gratitude and warm welcome to everyone who has come!" His voice was low and magnetic, carrying a reassuring power.
After saying this, he straightened up and looked at the audience with a smile. The audience in the hall applauded and welcomed his arrival.
"Well, (he bowed again, then raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation) next, let us move on tonight's auction. The first thing presented to you is our first auction item tonight." As soon as he finished speaking, the lights in the audience focused on an exquisite item.
The audience's attention also turned to the auction item, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
On the brightly lit auction table sat a mutton-fat jade vase. The auctioneer explained, "This vase is made of Hetian seed jade. Its texture is warm and delicate, resembling mutton fat, its hue tinged with a warm yellowish hue. The craftsmanship is truly exceptional. The lotus pattern carved into the vase boasts flowing, graceful lines, and each connection between petals and branches is meticulously executed, leaving no trace of stagnation. A mutton-fat jade vase of this exquisite quality and craftsmanship is a rare find. It was created by a retired jade carving master, who created only a handful of pieces, each one a rare treasure. The starting price is 50 million."
The audience's attention was firmly attracted by the golden bottle, and the scene suddenly became quiet.
In this quiet atmosphere, someone suddenly raised a sign and shouted "60 million", and the scene suddenly became lively.
Seeing this, the auctioneer showed a satisfied smile on his face. He introduced the characteristics and value of this bottle again, and then signaled others to continue bidding.
Yao also raised her head slightly, and her gaze lingered on the mutton-fat jade bottle for a moment. There were too many jade bottles like this in Qingqiu, and she really couldn't muster up any interest, so she lowered her head again to play with her phone.
Seeing that she was not interested, Jun Moran did not bid. In the end, the mutton-fat jade bottle was bought by a rich second-generation man in the hall downstairs for a high price of 80 million.
The auctioneer then introduced the second collection. Qingyao immediately became interested when she heard it. What was displayed was a blood-red ruby with spiritual power, which was extremely rare among the auction items.
Although jade contains a slight spiritual power, this ruby is not simple at first glance. The spiritual power it contains is so rich. This is the first time Qingyao has seen it in the mortal world.
Her eyes were fixed on the blood-red gem. The aura emitted by the gem aroused Qingyao's interest.
There was a hint of excitement in Qingyao's eyes, and she tapped the table lightly with her fingers, thinking about whether to participate in the auction.
The auctioneer explained, "This ruby is said to have come from a mysterious mineral vein. A wealthy businessman stumbled upon it while searching for spiritual objects. Its color is as bright and dazzling as blood, a deep and rich red. Our treasure appraiser has determined that this ruby contains a powerful energy that you can purchase and then develop. The starting price is 100 million Chinese yuan."
When everyone heard the price, they looked at each other, unsure whether they should buy this unknown ruby.
They whispered to each other, discussing in low voices, weighing the pros and cons in their minds. To be honest, it does look good, but there is an unknown energy inside. After everyone took pictures and wanted to develop the energy inside, they didn't know how much it would cost.
Qingyao tapped her fingers lightly on the table, and then looked to see if there was anyone bidding. After waiting for 2 minutes, no one was bidding. Qingyao then lightly pressed the bell on the table, 150 million.
When everyone heard this, they all looked towards Room 6, their eyes full of surprise and confusion. Katesilen, who was in Room 1, twitched her mouth when she heard the price offered by Her Majesty the Queen. If she remembered correctly, she had seen many red jewels like this in Her Majesty the Queen's bedroom. Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen also had the habit of collecting rubies?
At this time, the price of Box No. 2 was raised to 200 million, and it instantly became the scene of all the noble children on the second floor. They rang the bell one after another, and the rich second generation downstairs heard these noble children on the second floor raising the price by 50 million at 50 million. Everyone gasped, and finally the ruby was sold for 1 billion.
At this time, everyone stopped and looked towards Box No. 6. Their eyes were full of anticipation, wanting to see whether the mysterious buyer would continue to raise the price, because Qingyao in Box No. 6 was the first to raise the bid, and in the subsequent procedures, the bid was always increased by 50 million. At this moment, they heard that the bid for Box No. 2 had reached 1 billion. The auctioneer and everyone present looked towards Box No. 6.
Seeing this, Jun Moran and Qi Yue exchanged glances. They knew that this was what A Yao wanted, and they would buy it no matter how expensive it was.
So Qi Yu rang the bell for 1.1 billion, and Box No. 2 added another 50 million, making a total of 1.15 billion.
Jun Moran pressed the bell again, and everyone was stunned by the price. Their mouths opened wide with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
The auctioneer is very excited because he gets a commission from everyone who bids for the item. In other words, the higher the price, the more commission he gets.
Seeing a ruby like this at this moment, which was worth at most 300 million, was actually auctioned for 1.2 billion, he would have to get a lot of commission, so he hurried, and after hearing the price of 1.25 billion from box number 6, he asked if anyone had raised the price.
The auctioneer continued to persuade: "Is there any higher bid? 1.25 billion once, 1.25 billion twice, 1.25 billion three times! Deal!" His voice echoed in the hall and the hammer fell.
