For these two local guests from China, the caprce restaurant manager greeted all their relatives with a polite smile on his face and sent them away.

Davidson and others kept their distance from them with shame, pretending to be unaware of them.

Li Rui and Qian Yiduo, who were holding each other's arms, didn't care at all.

Until I entered Sotheby's auction venue.

When the group arrived, there were already many people in the auction hall. Qian Yiduo and Li Rui did not pay any attention to these people wearing suits, tie, and wearing charming female companions in evening dresses.

The ones sitting in the hall were just some ordinary rich people. Real rich people were all private rooms on the second floor of the hall!

"Mr. Qian, please rest assured that this time, your Chinese Star will be auctioned as the finale of auction items. Not only Prince Charles from England is here, but even the Saudi royal family has sent representatives. Perhaps, they also hope to inlaid huge diamonds representing wealth and power on their king's crown and scepter like the British royal family!" Robles was busy dealing with other matters, so he gave Qian Yiduo and sent his assistant, David Thomas, who was in his forties.

Seeing that the two of them became a little hesitant when they entered the private room, David Thomas thought they were worried about the auction price.

"What are the items in this auction?" Li Rui asked.

David was stunned and soon came to his senses, "Sorry, this is our negligence. I will get the auction list for you right away."

"If you like someone, just take a photo." Li Rui said to Qian Yiduo.

For money, there is nothing in this world that will move him except technology, because it is only aimed at the rich. What the rich care about is treasures that can reflect their value and financial resources, rather than technological items.

So far, it seems that few technological items can be found in such top-notch auctions.

David was back soon. Sotheby's obviously prepared well for this auction. There were 36 auction items in total, with the lowest starting price of 10,000 US dollars, involving art works, antiques, jewelry, and diamonds. In addition to the finale of China Star, there is actually a top-quality blue diamond weighing 36.7 carats and a white diamond weighing 506 carats!

Obviously, Qian Yiduo couldn't help but wonder, and David on the side did not explain.

The auction began quickly, and from the beginning, the competition was very fierce.

Those rich people seemed to have not taken money seriously at all. They valued things they all bid wildly, and any auction item even exceeded five times the base price!

Qian Yiduo was shocked.

It’s not because of the madness of these tyrants, but because of the indifference of the money.

"There are basically the most top rich people in the world. They are so poor that they are only money left. Many people are not to get these treasures, but to compete with others for financial resources." Li Rui's face is also not good-looking.

He took a fancy to a piece of Yuan blue and white, with a base price of only US$12 million, which was something that had appeared in the auction many times before.

The price was only increased once and quoted a price of $13.5 million, but more crazy people quickly increased the price to $10,000...

"This is a natural blue diamond from Africa, uncut, and the price is 14 million US dollars. Although it is an uncut wool diamond, under the current cutting technology, cutting to the most perfect level is not a problem. Of course, the buyer who gets this diamond will definitely pay an expensive processing fee..." The auctioneer did not describe too much, after all, there were information about diamonds before. They were all rich people here, and they were also the top rich people in the world. They had already learned about the detailed situation before coming.

Therefore, there was no delay or effort to incite everyone's emotions.

His last joke did not make people laugh. Who cares about the processing fee if he was able to buy this diamond?

“15 million!”

"10,000!"

Everyone knows the value of blue diamonds. This is actually the rarest gem, and the price of pink diamonds is much higher than that of the same type of white diamonds.

A diamond that is of top quality except cutting, even if it is not cut, the price will be far beyond expectations.

"36 million!" At the beginning, when bidding, these people were bidding on the spot.

And the price of people in the private room suddenly doubled.

This made the entire venue quiet for a moment, and then, even more crazy.

A telephone buyer directly quoted a price of "52 million" through Sotheby's staff.

Many people began to retreat.

Qian Yiduo found that in the end, there were very few bids on the people on the scene.

Three mysterious phone buyers began to compete fiercely for this yet-named, uncut and processed top-notch diamond.

"100 million US dollars!" When the price reached 80 million US dollars, the three phone buyers began to be careful about the price increase.

Compared with this diamond, it is close to the limit that everyone can bear.

Although the diamonds are 36.7 carats, they can still be processed, and no one knows how many more they can be after processing.

A staff member raised the sign in his hand and quoted the price.

The scene became quiet.

Everyone looked at the other two staff members holding the phone. Although they could not make the decision, the price would be reported from them. Even if they did not have enough financial resources to buy it or felt it was not worth it, the people in this article hoped that others could continue to increase the price.

"The buyer on the 23rd phone bids $100 million. Is there anything higher than this? This has set a new record for diamond auctions!" The auctioneer's voice, with a hint of excitement, had broken the price record of single diamond auctions in the auction.

"100 million times..."

"100 million!" Another phone buyer bid.

"Oh my God! The record was refreshed by the buyer of the No. 17 phone number... Will it be refreshed?" The auctioneer performed hard, his voice trembling. His eyes, like everyone else, were moving between the staff member who did not bid and the staff member who first offered 100 million.

No new prices appeared, and the auctioneer began to lift the hammer.

Just as he was about to fall, the buyer of the No. 23 phone number that he had bid first revealed a price that made people breathe and solidify.

"120 million!"

"125 million!" Before the auctioneer could speak, the buyer No. 17 soon bid again.

Obviously, he showed his determination to win.

Another phone buyer withdrew after the price exceeded 100 million.

The price continues to rise, and the more the buyer on the 23rd goes, the fewer the price increase and the slower the answer.

In the end, the buyer of No. 17 won the most powerful 36.7-carat diamond for $137.5 million.

Li Rui and the others became excited about this price, and when the money was too high, they looked contempt.

These local tyrants actually spent such a high price to buy a pile of cow dung that could be made.

"You are out of human jealousy! If you are so poor that you only have money left, you will do such boring things!" Xiao Rui also contempts for the contempt of Qian Yiduo.

Qian Yiduo believes that no matter how rich he is, he will not do such boring things. It is better to devote himself to scientific and technological research and development and recreate the glory of the Ninth Academy in the past.

Otherwise, I would build a spaceship and go to build a villa on the moon.

The auction continued. Stimulated by the diamond auction record created by this blue diamond, the following items did not cause competition from buyers, and two artworks were even failed to be sold.

Until the 506-carat diamond appeared, the atmosphere became warmer again.

Because this is the last auction item on the information.

At the same time, it is also the largest top diamond auction in the world.

However, what was unexpected was that whether it was a jeweler, a diamond dealer, or a wealthy man, he didn't seem to have a high enthusiasm for this top diamond. Those with ideas did not have financial resources, but those with financial resources obviously knew what else was behind.

This thing is too big. Apart from being privately stored and put on the market, no one can afford it.

Diamond dealers are for suppression and jewelers are for brand improvement. Although this diamond weighs 506 carats, it cannot be compared with the one behind. The rich people are also waiting.

Of course, if I felt that I didn’t have enough financial resources, I started a competition for this diamond, but it was not fierce enough.

"Is this one from Tepera?" Li Rui suddenly asked David.

David was stunned, and then his face returned to normal, "Yes, the auctioneer just now didn't have an introduction?"

Li Rui felt chills, and he really didn't pay attention. When the money was too much, he pretended to close his eyes and rest, but in fact he was chatting with Xiao Rui. The main reason was that Xiao Rui popularized the relevant news about several major diamond merchants and jewelers for him.

The money is not restricted from Xiao Rui from surfing the Internet. Anyway, the energy is sufficient at present, the more information Xiao Rui collects, the better it will be for him.

This is indeed the largest diamond of Tepera. Several years have passed since its discovery. Tepera announced that it had discovered a huge diamond weighing 506 carats and would be auctioned, but it did not expect it to appear here.

In the end, the price of this diamond weighing 506 carats was won by Cartier Jewelry Company, which came to the scene for US$447.8 million, which once again made the entire auction house excited.

This is also a sky-high price.

Ordinary customers who don’t know the inside story think it’s over and are ready to leave.

The rich people who have been waiting for it are calm and begin to become energetic.
