At this time, just in time for the Era Stone to start bidding.
After dialysis with precision instruments, this huge piece of gold was found to be not a pure piece of gold. It was also wrapped with 365 precious gemstones, including opals, sapphires, rubies and diamonds. Therefore, its value is far more than
Gold has its due value.
The base price of this Era Stone is US$350 million, which is far beyond the value of gold.
The distinguished guests present were all world-class figures invited by Athena Sauer, including many wealthy people and top collectors. Many people looked at this huge gold nugget and couldn't help but wipe the corners of their mouths for fear of drooling.
to leak out.
The bidding price of the Era Stone is very standardized, with the price raised every 1,000,000. In this way, malicious bidding is avoided.
An American collector directly shouted 400 million, and immediately after, a familiar face shouted 450 million.
Jiang Chen took a look and found that this person was actually the money empire who once pursued Huang Siyu in the Asia Supreme Competition but was declined.
Money Empire is a member of the royal family of Qatar, worth tens of billions, and he is determined to get this stone of epoch.
Later, Jiang Chen saw another familiar face. This person was actually the royal family of Bhutanese players who were in the same group as the Money Empire at that time. They were both nobles! Both of them are top-notch rich and handsome men, and they are definitely not the driving ones in China.
It can't be compared to a mentally retarded person trying to die by trotting on the fifth ring.
However, although Huang Siyu had a good relationship with the two of them, they had a falling out after that game because the royal family used summons during the game between the two of them.
Therefore, when these two people meet, they fight each other to death.
Therefore, at the beginning, the auction was quite harmonious, but later on, it turned into a battle between these two guys, with the price getting higher and higher.
Jiang Chen couldn't help but turn his face to the side and laughed sinisterly, while Mi Lan was also laughing, shamelessly showing off two small white fangs.
Athena Sauer suppressed laughter and turned her head away, and whispered, "It's 700 million. The expert estimate of this big piece of gold is 460 million US dollars. Now it's better. It's a big profit."
"Sister, you can't say that. This is a thing. You know, this kind of thing is just like Song Dynasty porcelain. 20 years ago, a piece of Song porcelain could sell for 6,000,000 yuan at most, but now, a top-quality Song porcelain
Porcelain can be sold for 600 million. This thing will appreciate in value by 700 million if you keep it in your hands. It’s so cheap.”
"Tch, you profiteer, I'm too lazy to mess with you."
Mi Lan's starry eyes twinkled, "Let's go a little higher. As long as it reaches 1 billion, I'll treat you to a supper tonight."
"Tch, you little bitch, I'm too lazy to pick on you."
"Sister, we were wrong!"
"Actually, I want to say that this piece is worth 1.5 billion."
"..." Jiang Chen and Mi Lan were speechless for a while.
But very coincidentally, in the crowd, someone actually raised his white hand and said in a firm voice, "1.5 billion!"
Athena Sauer burst out laughing on the spot.
The bidder turned out to be the Holy Blade!
This price discouraged both the royal family and the money empire, so they had no choice but to withdraw from the fight, and no one present dared to fight anymore.
So, for $1.5 billion, Holy Blade happily took away the Stone of Era.
Don't think that Holy Blade made a loss-making business. In fact, with this Era Stone, this beautiful little girl gave herself a living advertisement and greatly improved the image of her company. After the auction
, many world-class figures rushed to get in touch with her, and even signed a series of orders with her, adding high-profit results to her Hill Shopping. Of course, this is a story for later, let’s not mention it for now.
Subsequently, Athena's star eyes were also bought by the royal family for an unbelievable high price of 150 million US dollars. In fact, the value of the pearl itself was not that high, but the commercial value and advertising value far exceeded this astronomical figure.
The last person to appear was the star of this exhibition, Magnificent Heart.
The starting price of this huge diamond, named after the magnificent capital of the country, reached an astonishing US$970 million, and this is the most conservative estimate given by experts. This huge gem-quality diamond has both fineness and fineness.
The quality has far exceeded that of the "Cullinan" diamond, known as the "Star of Africa", which was discovered from the Premier Diamond Mine in South Africa in 1905. It is the largest diamond ever discovered so far. One of the largest diamonds in Africa.
The total weight of the star when it was dug was 31.6 carats, while the total weight of the Magnificent Heart reached an astonishing 17,171 carats. Compared with the grandpa of the Magnificent Heart, the Star of Africa can only be regarded as the grandson of the gem.
The royal family and the money empire once again intervened in the competition, but this time both of them were relatively conservative. According to the auction regulations of this gem, each increase in price must not be less than 3,000,000. Therefore, the royal family just called a 10
billion, while Money Empire only called 1.1 billion.
Later, the CEO of a well-known American company offered 1.5 billion to seal the gem. However, he was offered 1.8 billion by a plantation owner from Southeast Asia. This person turned out to be Zheng Tiannan, Li Jing's father.
However, just after he finished shouting, on the other side of the exhibition, an old white man raised his arm, "2.5 billion!"
At this moment, everyone's eyes turned to the white old man. Jiang Chen took a closer look and couldn't help being shocked. He saw two beauties following the old man on the left and right, one was a top-notch lolita and the other was a perfect royal.
Sister, there is no doubt that these two people are Li Zi and Sun Li, and needless to say, the old man is Pang Jianguo!
What happened next was even more unbelievable. Next to Pang Jianguo, a tough young man with dark skin stood up. He raised three fingers, "3 billion!"
This young man is no outsider, he is actually Jiang Chen’s godfather Xu Shan, the head of the Xu Real Estate Group!
Jiang Chen is almost Spartan. Is it possible that this gem will eventually fall into the hands of one of his own?
Xu Shan's words proved his conjecture, "Haha, world-class gems should stay in the embrace of a world-class country."
Pang Jianguo smiled leisurely, "That's right, so, 3.5 billion."
Xu Shan was helpless, "Old man, can't you just let me go once? 3.7 billion."
Pang Jianguo laughed loudly, "No, I want to use this gem as a treasure, 4 billion, Xu boy, if you continue to argue with me, I will let your godson sever ties with you!"
Behind Pang Jianguo, Jiang Ming wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Old Xu, give up. For the sake of our son."
Old man Xu was confused, "The old guy is too cruel, okay, I give in."
Someone at the scene soon shouted out a high price of 4.5 billion, and Pang Jianguo once again generously added 500 million, and finally bought this magnificent heart for 5 billion US dollars.
The old man's idea was very simple, just like the Holy Blade, just to use this gem as a gimmick to attract the attention of merchants, and this effect was also realized in the future.
In this battle for gems, Jiang Chen finally saw the profound strength of the Pang family. Pang Jianguo transferred 5 billion to Athena Sauer on the spot and directly took this huge diamond into his own hands. Then, he just looked at it
With just two glances, he handed the diamond to his two granddaughters, "This is the dowry given to you two by grandpa, keep it well!"
The pretty faces of the two beauties were slightly red.
…
The jewelry fair ended at 11 o'clock in the evening. 90% of all the jewelry was auctioned, and the amount of proceeds reached an unprecedented 10.7 billion U.S. dollars. After excluding the red envelopes given to experts, a net income of 10.5 billion dollars flowed in.
Athena Sauer's account.
After the trade fair ended, Athena Sauer took Jiang Chen and Mi Lan to meet the old man and had a supper with him according to her grandfather's agreement.
The old man is tall and tall, with a gray head and a very strong spirit. He looks only in his sixties, but in fact he is already an octogenarian.
The gathering of these four people was scheduled in the courtyard of the Sauer family's manor.
The old man looked Jiang Chen and Mi Lan up and down, and after looking at them for a long time, he said in fluent Chinese, "Athena has a good taste, and she saw the right person. The owner of the Mi family's treasure is full of temperament, and the guardian of the Mi family's only daughter is also heroic.
Bob, not bad.”
Jiang Chen poured a glass of wine for the old man, "Old man, I'm sorry for bothering you so late."
The old man laughed, quickly picked up the wine glass, and nodded to Mi Lan, "Come on, little beauty, let's have a drink, you kid, stop pretending to me, I'm not an old fool, your business doesn't matter to Athena
Even if you don't tell me, I can tell. Don't worry, I won't interfere with the affairs of young people, especially after tonight. Because I have decided to transfer all the remaining equity to Athena.
"
As soon as these words came out, not to mention Jiang Chen and Mi Lan, even Athena Shaoer was shocked, "Grandpa, why is it so fast?"
The old man smiled and said, "The value of the remaining 21% of the shares is around US$9 billion. You should have that much capital on hand, right?"
Athena Shaolton suddenly blushed, "I, I didn't, because..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mi Lan said, "Sister, I lent it to you, no, we lent it to you, isn't it 9 billion? We have it!"
Athena Sauer lowered her head and said nothing.
The shares of the Sauer family have always been firmly in the hands of the old man. When Athena Sauer took over as the new chairman of the Holy Athens Group, the old man distributed 72% of the shares to her and five relatives.
He is the chairman, so he gets the most 51%, and the others get the remaining 21%. These shares are not given for free, but are lent to them to exercise power and promote it.
However, those unmotivated shareholders have not turned the shares into their own until now. On the contrary, Athena Sauer, who in their eyes is not doing her job properly, has used her own efforts in recent years to buy out 51% of the shares.
In his own hands, he became the true chairman of the company. Therefore, the old man has decided to take back the remaining shares and sell them all to Athena Sauer.
However, judging from Athena Sauer's embarrassed expression, there must be a problem with her current funds and she cannot afford 9 billion.
(These chapters have extremely important guiding significance for the whole story, and there are also many days of data. However, these data are not exaggerated. They are all conclusions I reached after verifying various materials. I am relatively rigorous in writing the book.
