There are many people who share the same idea as Xu Nanxing. As for antiques, people either buy them because they particularly like them or because they have collection value. If they don’t have either of the two, they won’t sell them for too high a price!
So this brush washer only went through a dozen rounds of bidding before it was finally bought by a local Chinese businessman for HK$320,000.
This price is a good start for today's auction!
Of course, as the first winner of the auction, the wealthy businessman also happily showed his face in front of everyone to warm applause.
The wealthy businessman knew that the prices of the subsequent items would be higher, and his current financial strength was not enough to buy them. Then his idea of showing off in the circle of wealthy people would not be realized, so he chose to buy the first item where the competition was not so fierce.
Sure enough, after the item was bought, he finally showed his face amid the applause of the crowd.
Today’s trip was worth it!
It was worth it for him to shamelessly use his connections to get this invitation!
At this auction, the first item was a Chinese antique, and the second item was a luxurious diamond necklace.
The largest diamond in the center of this diamond necklace, estimated to weigh approximately 10 carats, shone with captivating brilliance like a dazzling star. Each twinkle felt like the heartbeat of the universe, captivating the senses. The entire necklace was inlaid with countless tiny diamonds, densely packed like the stars of the Milky Way, forming a beautiful canvas. Under the illuminated lights, the necklace shone with a dazzling brilliance, resembling a glittering starry sky, immersing one in the cosmos, a sense of endless romance and mystery.
It’s so beautiful!
Xu Nanxing couldn't help but be attracted by this dazzling diamond necklace!
In her previous life, she had visited those world-famous luxury jewelry exhibitions, and she was fortunate enough to have seen the so-called top-grade jewelry displayed there.
These top-quality jewels are all top-notch in terms of the purity of the gemstones, the brightness of the colors, the design and inlaying techniques, which makes Xu Nanxing linger!
The quality of this diamond necklace on the scene is actually somewhat inferior to those top-level jewelry, but when viewed on the scene, this diamond necklace is still very dazzling and eye-catching.
Sure enough, all the ladies present were attracted by this luxurious diamond necklace. The dazzling diamonds sparkled brightly under the bright lights, like stars in the night sky, which was intoxicating.
Compared to antiques and the like, which are mostly collected by men, these ladies have no interest in them at all.
But this dazzling diamond necklace is different. Who can ignore this beautiful, sparkling jewelry?
Under the gaze of the crowd, the diamond necklace seemed even more dazzling and glittering, and the ladies present could not take their eyes off it.
The light from this diamond necklace seemed to illuminate the entire exhibition hall, making the other exhibits look pale in comparison.
Under the eager gaze of their wives or daughters, all the high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen present at the scene put their full efforts into participating in this round of bidding!
The atmosphere of the live auction instantly became heated. The guests below kept reporting the bids, and the auctioneer above also perked up and started bidding with full concentration, for fear of making any mistakes!
This round of bidding is much more intense than the previous ones!
In fact, Xu Nanxing was also tempted by this diamond necklace.
Although she had bought a lot of jewelry in major jewelry stores before, the jewelry displayed on the counter were all ordinary styles.
If you want to buy higher-end items, there are none available. If you want to customize higher-end jewelry, you have to register and queue up.
This is the disadvantage of a small market.
Because from the moment the real high-end luxury goods are completed, they are immediately delivered by these jewelers to high-ranking officials and wealthy wives, and let these upper-class people choose them first.
Merchants will only choose to sell their products in stores if they are not chosen by these wealthy ladies.
Even though Xu Nanxing was generous, she could only be ranked last and could not be compared with the truly powerful ladies.
This is not a question of whether you have money or not, but rather that class structures are everywhere in Hong Kong society.
The power and influence are fully displayed here.
Xu Nanxing was somewhat helpless about this. She just wanted to make money and spend money simply, and didn't want to participate in these complicated power games!
So now that he saw such a nice piece of jewelry being put up for auction, and he could buy it just by spending money without any other fancy requirements, Xu Nanxing was immediately tempted.
Later, Xu Nanxing also participated in the bidding.
However, as the bidding price climbed to over one million and showed no sign of stopping, Xu Nanxing thought for a moment and decided to give up.
This price is a bit uneconomical!
Because the price of this diamond will drop sharply in the future!
Especially when it is not a colored diamond but just an ordinary white diamond, the price drops even more sharply!
It’s better to be cautious!
After all, she didn't really like the diamond necklace. She had originally just wanted to collect it and wait for it to appreciate in value in the future.
The auction price is too high now, and it is not cost-effective to buy it, so she gave up.
The diamond necklace behind was bought by a foreigner for nearly 1 million yuan, who intended to give it to his female companion.
