You know, although this ruby is expensive, judging from the current international ruby market, it is between 13 million and 15 million US dollars, which is far from reaching 20 million US dollars.
This price has exceeded the highest price ever paid for rubies at auction.
"Honey……"
A sweet and greasy female voice sounded in Peter's ears again. This time, Peter's face turned red. It wasn't that Peter couldn't bear the money or couldn't afford it. He could tell it. If he bid again, he would probably lose his money.
It is very possible for this ruby to double its price of US$20 million.
Especially when Peter saw an Arab with a white towel on his head staring at him, he immediately gave up the idea of continuing to bid. Are you kidding, grabbing something from an Arab oil tycoon? There is really a lot of money.
The place was thrown away.
"Oh, sweetheart, this ruby is too big. You don't have a suitable item to set it in. Besides... it's a male ruby, so it won't fit you properly..."
The handsome guy's skill in picking up girls was indeed something he could not boast about. He dispelled Julie's desire for possession with just a few words. Although his eyes were still fixed on the ruby in the crystal glass cabinet, he did not use any big weapon to urge Pitt.
At this moment, Pitt felt a little depressed that his money was inferior to others. The Arab crown prince who offered 20 million US dollars was also a bit unhappy. He paid 20 million US dollars in the hope that Jolie would pay more attention to him. Who knew that sister
They didn't even look at him. Is it possible that my dress is not handsome enough? But... in Arab countries, this is the most fashionable dress!
"Especially my brother's beard, it makes our age from thirty to forty immediately. Don't today's female details like mature and successful men?"
The Arab Crown Prince glanced at Julie from time to time, and his chest puffed up again and again. Unfortunately, the two interested people did not even look at him again, which made the Crown Prince's beard straight up.
The people next to him seemed to have noticed what the crown prince was thinking, and they all laughed secretly in their hearts. Although the rich and handsome men in Hollywood are not as good as the top rich people in the field, they still have everything they need to travel and live comfortably.
You look like a man in his fifties or sixties with your facial hair. It's strange that Julie could like him.
"Mr. Abdullah bid 20 million US dollars on the 38th. He has broken the highest price for a ruby in history. This will become a record in the history of ruby auctions. Does anyone else want to break this record? And
No!"
After seeing Abdullah shouting a high price of 20 million U.S. dollars, and no one answered in the entire venue, William immediately used his professional skills. To say that this auctioneer must be a master of psychology and familiar with Sun Tzu's Art of War
Yes, in the shortest possible time, William found an entry point and wanted other super-rich people to launch an attack on the so-called record.
However, after William's words, there was still no answer. He obviously underestimated the IQ of these super rich people. They are not the nouveau riche or young men. They have long passed the age of passion and are in this world.
On the other hand, only things with great value for money are worth spending a lot of money to grab.
It is a pity that the price of this ruby is between more than 10 million. To participate in the charity auction, there are many people around these rich people who know the goods, so William's encouragement is obviously a waste of time.
"Is there any other gentleman or lady who is interested in this precious ruby?"
William was a little unwilling to give up and tried shouting a few more times, but the effect was not good, which made him feel a little frustrated. From the bottom auction price to the final price, nothing highlighted his value as the world's top auctioneer.
.
"I'll pay 21 million!"
Just when William was about to put the hammer down, a voice suddenly rang out. William was overjoyed. He looked towards where the hand was raised and found an Oriental face. The number plate he held up was No. 18, which made William a little confused.
, he quickly lowered his head and looked at the book that recorded the names of the guests, but he did not find the name of the owner of the No. 18 plate.
In fact, it’s no wonder that William didn’t do his homework well. It’s really because this auction had been prepared several months ago. All the guests had confirmed their itineraries a month ago. Only Zhuang Rui came uninvited.
The guests were coming, so Zhuang Rui’s name had not yet been added to the list that had been prepared.
"This... this gentleman bid 21 million, the record has been refreshed, this is the new ruby transaction price..."
Not knowing Zhuang Rui's name did not affect William's control over the auction process. He reacted quickly and immediately pointed his finger at Zhuang Rui. This also attracted the attention of everyone in the audience, focusing on Zhuang Rui. Many people
They whispered to each other and asked about Zhuang Rui's name.
"Zhuang Rui, what are you doing? This ruby is worth at least 15 to 6 million, what are you buying it for?"
The person making the bid was none other than Zhuang Rui. Huangfu Yun next to him couldn't figure it out. Zhuang Rui had just told him that the market price of this ruby was worth around 16 million US dollars at most. Unexpectedly, this guy turned around and asked for 21 million US dollars.
At a high price, this amount has exceeded 100 million RMB, and Zhuang Rui has always been a low-key person. He has rarely done such things that attract attention in public before.
“Just because it’s not worth so much now, doesn’t mean it won’t be worth that much in the future…”
Zhuang Rui's words were a bit insincere. In fact, he was just thinking about collecting the British royal family's treasures in his mind. In a moment of excitement, he added one million. Although he regretted it after shouting it, he said it out loud.
Water, you can't take it back.
"Oh, if it takes ten or eight years for the price to rise to this level, the U.S. dollar will probably depreciate again..." Huangfu Yun shook his head, not caring about Zhuang Rui's actions.
"$21 million, gentlemen and ladies, this ruby is not only of great historical significance, it is also extremely precious in reality. Who else wants to bid?"
After William spared no effort in shouting on the stage, seeing little effect, he looked at the Arab crown prince again and said: "Mr. Abdullah, do you want to bid again?"
"Make a price, grandma, you guys who play in oil just have a lot of money. If you ask for another hundred thousand, I will give it to you..."
Zhuang Rui's eyes were also looking at Abdullah. To be honest, among all the transactions he had made since he had the aura in his eyes, this ruby was the worst. If he had actually bought it, he would have lost five to six million US dollars.
So many.
"Since this friend from the East likes this ruby, and if a gentleman doesn't win someone's love, I won't want it..."
Abdullah suddenly smiled and said the above sentence in Chinese. Zhuang Rui almost vomited blood when he heard it. This guy is too shady. Could it be that he was hired by Bonadette? If you don't want to buy it, don't buy it.
He actually used Chinese to stimulate me, and the proverb was still used so smoothly.
"Mr. Zhuang, Crown Prince Abdullah is proficient in six languages, and he once worked as an international student at Huaqing University in your country..." Danny, who was standing next to Zhuang Rui, introduced the big man to Zhuang Rui in a low voice.
Bearded Crown Prince.
Most of the current generation of Arab royal successors have received higher education from Western countries. For example, Abdullah studied at Harvard in the United States and Huaqing University in China, and among his brothers of this generation, many
Everyone is like this.
Although Abdullah was a bit lustful and had more than 20 wives at home, he was still very shrewd when it came to other matters. After seeing that he could not attract Julie's attention with money, he immediately took advantage of her.
The hot potato was thrown to Zhuang Rui.
"Okay, if no one bids again, this precious George II ruby will belong to Mr. Zhuang from China. Here, we would like to thank Mr. Zhuang for his contribution to charity..."
After William on the stage asked several questions in succession, he finally knocked the auction hammer in his hand heavily. Someone had already handed over Zhuang Rui's information just now, and he also knew Zhuang Rui's name and country.
"Grandma, I spent my whole life hunting geese, but in the end I was pecked in the eye by a goose..."
Listening to the thunderous applause in the venue, Zhuang Rui didn't know whether to cry or laugh. Maybe his mentality was really affected by the environment. When bidding, he had no intention of attracting the attention of so many beauties.
.
Now that he has achieved this effect, Zhuang Rui is a little uncomfortable. Not to mention other things, the hot eyes of the slender blondes nearby are a bit too much for Zhuang Rui, let alone facing Zhuang Rui.
Among the people paying attention to the gift, men accounted for the majority, which made Zhuang Rui want to quit the auction.
Fortunately, the quality of everyone in the venue was relatively high. After paying attention to Zhuang Rui, they immediately looked away and started the auction of the second item.
The second item was a pink diamond produced in South Africa. The color was very beautiful. Although it was not very heavy, it was sold for a high price of US$6.8 million. This time it was sold to the handsome guy Pete, who also gave up the auction.
These rich people inside have seen the handiwork of Hollywood stars.
The next few jewelry, which can be regarded as top international jewelry, were all auctioned off one by one. On this occasion, the presence of the auctioneer was indeed a bit redundant. Except for William's first ruby auction,
Apart from showing some skills, he never succeeded in arousing mutual bidding from everyone.
"Gentlemen and ladies, what is going to be auctioned next are several treasures from ancient Chinese civilization, which are also provided by Mr. Bonadette..."
After the jewelry auction, William's words finally aroused Zhuang Rui's interest.
