"Those ordinary people are really stupid. They actually fight to grab something that we can't avoid." Vampire Henry said with a mocking smile. That thing existed thousands of years ago, and it was tossed around countless times during that time.
, it’s funny that some people think that it has only been around for a few hundred years.
The Hope Gem is something that is strictly forbidden within the Vampire Clan. Back then, two Vampire Kings died under the curse of hope. For the Vampire Clan, this was an extremely painful loss.
"The curse of the Hope Gem is very small for ordinary people. If ordinary people get it, the probability of being cursed is very small, but for us, the probability of being cursed is infinitely magnified, so those ordinary people don't
Keep the curse of the Hope Stone in your heart. After all, there are many people who own the Hope Stone and no bad luck has happened to them. In the final analysis, they think the Curse of Hope is just a myth and legend."
Les said lightly that only those ancient families understand the meaning of hope, otherwise the hope gem would not always be spread among the world.
"Those stupid guys don't know that they are buying a time bomb and keeping it next to them." Henry said a little funny.
…
I hope that the ranking of gemstones will still continue, but the price will rise very slowly and has reached the minimum level, increasing upwards by one million.
"More than US$800 million is indeed a sky-high price among sky-high prices!"
A flash of amazement flashed in Yang Ting's eyes. That was equivalent to more than 5 billion yuan. Their family would not be able to come up with such a large amount of cash without all their efforts, unless they mortgaged the family property.
"I hope the actual value of the diamond should be more than 1.5 billion US dollars, provided that it can be auctioned on the world stage openly."
Andre sighed softly, hoping that the diamond would be auctioned at this auction, and there was no publicity before. After all, it was covered in dust. If the publicity can be in place and there are formal and legal procedures, then the auction price is likely to reach
2 billion US dollars.
Blue diamonds are the rarest diamonds in the world, second only to red diamonds, and the Hope diamond is the king of blue diamonds. Not long ago, a 122-carat blue diamond was produced in South Africa, with an estimated value of more than 600 million pounds, equivalent to ten
billion US dollars.
Although the blue diamond is much larger than the Hope Diamond, the value of the diamond does not entirely lie in its size, but also in its quality and historical significance. The quality of the Hope Diamond is undoubtedly far superior to that of the largest blue diamond known in the world.
And it itself has a mysterious and legendary color, which is far more than a newly unearthed diamond.
So it is no exaggeration to hope that diamonds can be auctioned for more than 2 billion US dollars.
But in this auction, it is obviously difficult to achieve this price, even 1 billion US dollars. It is not unreasonable for Andre to hope that the diamond will be dusted.
"Let alone US$1.5 billion, even US$800 million is an astronomical figure, and not everyone can afford it. For example, some people simply overestimate their capabilities."
Yang Ting sneered and looked at Mo Wen pointedly. From the beginning of the auction to now, Mo Wen has never participated in the bidding. I am afraid that 80% of the time she thought she was too far behind and gave up completely.
"It's true that you don't overestimate your capabilities. I'm afraid I've been frightened by the auction price for a long time." Jiang Siyin agreed with a strange tone.
"Are you two finished?" Shen Jing glanced at the two of them with a cold look, and her repeated attempts to sow discord were simply too much.
"Why do you Chinese like fighting among yourself so much?"
Andre glanced at Jiang Siyin and the others strangely, and said with some emotion: "There have long been rumors that the Chinese people like to fight among themselves, and they have been fighting among themselves since ancient times. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that the great country of China would be able to stand in the world. The pinnacle is no worse than that of the United States."
Jiang Siyin and Yang Ting snorted slightly. They were both a little embarrassed by a foreigner and stopped talking. At the same time, they secretly cursed this foreigner for being nosy.
Suddenly, the bidding price was refreshed again on the central screen.
"900 million!"
The bidding price soared directly from 816 million to 900 million, completely breaking the situation where competition became gentler towards the back and pushing the price to a new height.
Some people who were still bidding looked at the price on the screen, their throats became slightly dry, and they gave up completely. The price of US$900 million was completely beyond the bottom line in many people's minds. If they continued to fight, they would probably have to pay even more. .
As soon as this price appeared, the venue was silent for a moment, and no one continued to bid for a while.
Everyone has a bottom line in their mind. As Andre said, it is difficult to auction the Hope Diamond for more than 1 billion US dollars at this auction, because the appearance of this Hope Diamond is not upright, and there are also people who bought it. It involves a lot of risks; in addition, some of the world's top tycoons may not appear at this auction.
In fact, most of the people competing for the Hope Diamond at the auction are not people who intend to collect the diamond, but plan to take it and then secretly resell it to gain profits from it.
If the price of buying the Hope Diamond is too high, exceeding 1 billion US dollars, or even higher. For businessmen, it means that the risks will become greater and the benefits will become smaller. It is not a rational choice to continue to compete.
In the end, the Hope Diamond was successfully auctioned for US$900 million, and a grand auction ended. Undoubtedly, the Hope Diamond, as the finale of the auction, became the only highlight of the entire auction, because a The transaction price of Hope Diamond is equivalent to the total transaction price of all auction items in this auction, accounting for half of the total.
"Don't ask, the Hope Diamond has been successfully taken away by others. Didn't you vow that you would give the Hope Diamond to Shen Jing? What will you give her now?"
When the auction ended, Yang Ting immediately laughed at Mo Wen. She had been waiting for this moment. She had already had sufficient reasons to prove that Mo Wen would not be able to take the Hope Diamond. Sure enough, from beginning to end, this guy didn't say a word. He said something, obviously giving up the competition completely.
However, Jiang Siyin, who had always been in collusion with Yang Ting, did not laugh at Mo Wen, but fell silent.
Shen Jing was also silent, her hands tightly clasped together, as if there was an indescribable tension.
Because she just saw that at the last moment of the auction, Mo Wen entered a bunch of numbers into the bidder, and then the central screen showed a price of 900 million US dollars and stopped completely.
Jiang Siyin, who was sitting next to Mo Wen, also saw Mo Wen's quotation. At this time, he felt that it was a little difficult to breathe. Mo Wen actually made a quotation, and he became an instant success.
Yang Ting sat next to Shen Jing, one seat away from Mo Wen, and did not see Mo Wen's quote.
Shen Jing stared at Mo Wen in confusion. This guy actually took a picture of the Hope Diamond. At this time, she was not happy because Mo Wen took a picture of the Hope Diamond. Instead, she felt worried. Mo Wen could afford to pay so much. How much money?
900 million U.S. dollars! Nearly 6 billion yuan. With such a large amount of money, even if she sells all the Puyuan Pharmaceuticals, she probably won’t have such a large amount of money. A single Puyuan Pharmaceuticals will only be sold for 3 billion. , and the money allocated to her is probably only about 500 million; even if Lin Qing's share is added, I'm afraid she can only make up 15.6 billion.
Six billion!
Shen Jing felt a deep sense of powerlessness in her heart. Apart from state-owned enterprises, there were definitely not many companies in the country that could temporarily allocate so much funds, and it was almost impossible to use that money to buy a diamond.
Only those domestic conglomerates hiding in secret have the financial resources and courage.
"Don't ask, I don't believe you can come up with that much money!"
Jiang Siyin said with a distorted expression. He had already accepted the fact that Mo Wen had some status, but he didn't believe that Mo Wen's energy could be so great. It was so great that he could hardly imagine it.
Except for those chaebols, those giants who control very large financial groups, who in the world has the ability to spend billions to buy a diamond casually.
If Mo Wen could do it, then what terrible financial resources he had in his hands!
Andre looked at Mo Wen very curiously. Even he would have to hold a family meeting to decide on the non-commercial investment expenditure of 900 million US dollars. If the purpose was to purchase a rare diamond, the probability of passing it would be very small. After all, he is a businessman, not a collector.
At this time, Yang Ting also realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere. Her eyes suddenly widened and she looked at Mo Wen in disbelief, then at Jiang Siyin. Finally, she took a sharp breath of air.
That astonishing offer of US$900 million couldn't have been made by Mo Wen, right?
Soon, she knew the answer.
Several auction staff came over one after another, targeting Mo Wen.
"Sir, congratulations on taking the most noble Hope Diamond tonight."
A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam came over. She was the auctioneer of this auction, and she came over in person.
"Where is the Hope Diamond?" Mo Wen glanced at those people and found that they did not bring the Hope Diamond.
The beautiful auctioneer was stunned when she heard this, but she quickly came to her senses and said with a smile: "Sir, are you ready to complete the transaction immediately?"
The rules of the auction are that money and goods must be paid in full, and they will deliver the auction items only after the money is paid in full. After all, every item in the auction is valuable. If you encounter someone who does not keep your trust, They are also very troublesome.
For this transaction involving US$900 million, Meiyan Auctioneer never thought that the transaction could be completed immediately. How to complete the delivery of such a huge sum of money with them would be a very complicated process.
"If we don't trade now, then when will we trade?" Mo Wen asked strangely. He had already taken the photo and still didn't trade. Could it be that the auctioneer regretted it and was preparing to deny it?
"Well……"
The beautiful auctioneer looked at Mo Wen and was speechless. After a while, he smiled awkwardly and said: "I'm sorry, sir, my understanding may not be enough. When you say transaction now, do you mean you are ready to pay immediately?"
The probability of being able to pay such a huge sum of money immediately is extremely small. There are not many people in the world who have this ability. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation at (.)
