Chapter 847 The show is about to begin!
Helian Jiao immediately raised her paddle to participate in the auction, shouting with overwhelming confidence, "Two hundred thousand!"
As soon as the powerful voice rang out, the guests present all burst into laughter.
People from the mainland are indeed uncultured country bumpkins who have never seen the world. They actually dared to shout it out themselves. How embarrassing!
Bai Jingjing felt both disdain and pleasure; the real show was about to begin!
Only the host was genuinely happy, and his voice immediately rose: "Two hundred thousand!"
Immediately, a young woman elegantly raised her sign: "Two hundred and one thousand."
She didn't really want it; she just wanted to open the eyes of that bumpkin from the mainland and show him what proper manners were!
Helian Jiao ignored her and raised the sign again with great enthusiasm, shouting, "Two hundred and fifty thousand."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand for the first time, two hundred and fifty thousand for the second time, two hundred and fifty thousand... the third time!" The hammer in his hand came down.
Bang!
"Congratulations to guest number 1 for winning the bid for Mr. Xu Beihong's painting for 250,000!" The host led the applause.
Sparse applause broke out in the room.
Other voices whispered, "People from the mainland, do they even know anything about calligraphy and painting? They're really nouveau riche!"
"Next up is the second item. I don't know how to describe how rare this diamond is, but this sale is the most exciting one I've ever done in my auction career. The Graff Pink Diamond is one of the most desirable diamonds I've ever seen."
The host exclaimed in admiration, and then a huge diamond was carried onto the stage by staff.
"What woman wouldn't be tempted by this diamond! The Graff pink diamond weighs 14.78 grams! The auction price is 800,000! Each bid starts at 50,000. Please place your bids."
Compared to calligraphy and paintings, diamonds and other jewelry, the men were not interested. Apart from a few who wanted to win the favor of beautiful women, there were also some rich young ladies.
The little princess wasn't interested in the small diamonds; the snacks on the table were more appealing to her.
As the auction was about to end, and seeing that she still hadn't made a move, Bai Jingjing smiled and suggested, "Miss Chen, this diamond really suits your skin tone. Why don't you bid on it and have it made into a necklace?"
I wanted to encourage her to participate in the auction.
Helian Jiao didn't want to pay attention to her at first, but then she remembered that Gu Siyu liked this kind of pink color, so she followed suit and raised the sign.
"Nine hundred and fifty thousand once, nine hundred and fifty thousand the second time... ninety..."
Another woman from the country was currently offering the highest price, and seeing that the diamond was about to fall into her hands, she wore a confident smile.
But the little princess suddenly intervened, "One million!"
The host paused, then smiled broadly and announced, "Guest number one has bid one million! One million for the first time!"
"One million five hundred thousand!" The woman from Yin Kingdom continued bidding with a calm expression, but she wasn't as composed as she appeared.
Her estimated price is 1.2 million; anything more than that wouldn't be worth it.
"Two million!" Helian Jiao was too lazy to raise her paddle and simply doubled the price.
The price was almost exceeding the value of the diamond itself. The woman from the Kingdom of Yin hesitated for a moment, but could only reluctantly give up.
The elegant lady sitting next to her, fanning herself gracefully, said coolly, "I didn't expect your Megan family to have fallen so low that you couldn't even beat a Chinese person in the bidding, giving up on a mere 1.5 million."
The women of Yin dared not speak out against her anger, because the noblewoman was a viscountess, whose family was richer and more powerful than hers.
She can't afford to offend her!
