...Look at the lowest bid price of 1.5 million euros! But the final transaction price must be more than 5 million euros, or even tens of millions. But what Liu Dong cares about is not the price, but the bidding time, because he is bidding today
The key point is the top-quality jadeite rough stone on the first floor of the basement that the organizing committee took out yesterday in order to save the public sale. It weighs nearly two tons and is worth nearly 10 billion. +,
Therefore, if this top-quality sapphire were available today, Liu Dong would definitely not be able to wait here to ensure that he would 100% win it!
"Fortunately, we will bid tomorrow!" Liu Dong felt relieved.
After taking a final look at this precious giant sapphire, Liu Dong pulled away and began to observe other sapphires. What surprised Liu Dong was that except for this giant sapphire weighing more than 1,500 carats, other national treasures weighing more than 100 carats
There are actually three more sapphires. Although the largest one is only 339 carats, which is a huge difference from the original one, so many national treasure-grade sapphires appeared on the public sale at one time. It is definitely not mined within one year today. It must be the previous work of the Myanmar government and
The accumulation of gem merchants.
I just don’t know why, but I took out so many at once this time.
In addition to these four giant sapphire roughs, there are 23 other sapphires between 50 carats and 100 carats, 119 sapphires between 10 and 50 carats, and sapphire roughs between 3 and 10 carats with collectible value.
The number reached 912, and there are even more ones under 3 carats left. Liu Dong did not count them in detail. It should be more than 20,000!
Moreover, it is already the 8th day of the public sale. Although the bidding for rubies and sapphires on the second floor does not start until the middle of the jade public sale, almost 40% of the rubies and sapphires have been sold out in the past two days.
!
Seeing so many precious sapphires, Liu Dong regretted why he didn't come up to take a look in advance!
"But it's not too late!"
After taking the bidding list, Liu Dong began to bid on the mid-to-high-end sapphires he was optimistic about. Today's bid for a national treasure-grade sapphire weighing 179 carats is the focus of Liu Dong's bidding.
After all 59 bids worth 15 million euros had been submitted, Liu Dong breathed a sigh of relief. According to past bid winning rates, 10 bids could often reach 50%, but Liu Dong had the relic Yuanguang as his backing, and deliberately
The bidding price has been increased, so the ratio can reach 85%, and if you are lucky, it can be higher.
Therefore, out of these 59 bids, 45 should be successful, and nearly 300 mid- to high-end diamonds of more than 2,000 carats will be awarded!
In addition to rubies and sapphires, Burmese gold pearls, or white South Sea pearls, are a kind of jewelry even more precious than rubies and sapphires.
Golden pearls are a kind of seawater cultured pearls. They are brothers of white South Sea pearls. Golden pearls are produced from white-lipped oysters or golden-lipped oysters. These two kinds of oysters are mainly distributed in Myanmar, New Guinea, Philippines, Indonesia, Australia, China, Thailand, etc.
Land. Because of its huge size, white or golden South Sea pearls of 9 to 16 mm can be cultivated. Due to the difficulty of cultivating golden pearls, the production quantity is very small, and there are very few golden pearls that can be used.
It is extremely difficult to select a symmetrical golden pearl necklace from many pearls, and it often takes 6 to 12 months. Indonesia mainly produces yellow and golden pearls, and its output only accounts for 4% of the total white South Sea pearls.
to 8%.
At present, the annual output of South Sea pearls in the world is 2,250 kilograms, and the theoretical output of world golden pearls is only 100 kilograms, and only 1,000 golden pearl necklaces can be made.
So now the price per gram of gold pearls in the world has climbed to 200 to 400 US dollars per gram, which can be said to be truly cost-effective gold!
Although gold pearls are extremely precious, Liu Dong has no intention of storing them for appreciation, because the large amount of calcium carbonate contained in pearls is not resistant to acid and alkali, and is prone to mildew and deterioration. It is also susceptible to moisture, heat, yellowing, loss of luster, and even oxidation.
Layers are peeling off. Therefore, ancient pearls are extremely difficult to preserve, and those that are more than a hundred years old are equally difficult to maintain.
In fact, even if Liu Dong wanted to store it, there was no chance because the output of golden pearls was too small.
More than 80% of the pearls sold on the second floor are white pearls, which are the same South Sea pearls as golden pearls. Because white pearls have a wider audience and are of higher value, all Southeast Asian countries except Indonesia basically use cultured white South Sea pearls.
Lord.
Liu Dong took a look and found that there were about 1,000 golden pearls for sale here. Most of them were small pearls with a diameter of 9 to 14 mm. The larger pearls of 15 mm or more were only gathered into two strings here. As the finale, only
use.
Because the quantity was too small, Liu Dong basically bid on everything he liked. He also bought some white South Sea pearls, which cost about 2 million euros.
The number of remaining diamonds is too small. There are only about 30,000 carats for sale here. Liu Dong also invested in some, but he doesn’t know how many he will win!
After checking that the time was almost up, Liu Dong came down from the second floor and walked into the toilet next to him. After putting the jadeite in the backpack on his back into the mustard space, Shi Shiran came to the first floor.
Looking at the man in the center of the first floor, surrounded by almost no one, who was almost destined to be the winner of this year's auction, Liu Dong's eyes flashed with passion!
There was still half an hour until the bid was sealed, so Liu Dong was not in a hurry to go in. Instead, he used the relic Yuan Guang, whose radius had reached 400 meters, to observe the bids in the almost half-full bid box!
"Hey, it seems there are a lot of capable people!" Although Liu Dong didn't know who these bidding numbers represented, more than 60% of them bid for more than 20 million euros, and the remaining 35% bid for around 30 million euros.
There are only two companies with more than 35 million euros, one is 35.5 million and the other is 38 million!
"I just don't know who submitted these two tenders?"
Because only the bidder's number was displayed on the tender document, Liu Dong did not know who submitted the tender document.
"Liu Dong...!"
Hearing the call from far away, Liu Dong immediately saw Xie Zhonglin coming in with Sun Yujun and others.
Because of the gambling a few days ago, the word "Liu Dong" is really eye-catching. So as soon as Sun Yujun opened his mouth, almost everyone in the hall immediately started talking and looking around.
Soon someone spotted Liu Dong standing on the stairs leading from the first floor to the second floor. Then a large number of people surrounded him as if they were chasing stars.
Seeing this situation, he noticed Liu Dong's frown, and Xie Zhonglin showed a trace of embarrassment on his face. He also realized that he had made a mistake! He knew that Liu Dong didn't like to socialize!
But now that the matter was over, Liu Dong didn't bother to blame Xie Zhonglin, who was still fifty meters away. He quickly dealt with the people who came around to say hello, came down the stairs, and then walked towards the place where Biao Wang's woolen materials were not far away.
Looking at Liu Dong who was surrounded by people like stars holding the moon, the other people around who did not come forward also had different expressions.
Among them, the one with the most complicated emotions is probably Xia Yunshang. Although she does have a good impression of Liu Dong and even likes her a little, she still can't believe that she impulsively gave her innocent body to him.
"Maybe it was really drunken sex!"
No matter how Xia Yunshang comforted herself, that figure who was talented and showed off her peers was firmly engraved in her heart, and she could never forget it no matter what!
Compared to Xia Yunshang, who was in a complicated mood, Zheng Zhifeng, who was standing not far from her, only had resentment towards Liu Dong. This guy took away 50 million euros from him, causing him to be criticized by his family, especially the old man.
Severe scolding!
"Zhifeng, is he Liu Dong?" Zheng Jiaqi asked.
"Yes, father!" Zheng Zhifeng said respectfully.
Although in front of outsiders he was the third-generation direct heir of the Zheng family, Zheng Zhifeng did not dare to do anything out of the ordinary in front of his grandfather and father, who had begun to take over the family business. You must know that the third generation of the Zheng family was more than
He is not the only male descendant, even his father and son. If he does not perform well, even if he is the eldest son and grandson, he will probably lose the right to inherit the family property in the end.
"It's true that a hero comes from a young man!" Zheng Jiaqi couldn't help but admired the young man who was being complimented by everyone in the distance, but there was no trace of pride or complacency on his face.
At this moment, he really didn't expect that this young man who was about the same age as his son would actually be a well-known 'Emerald King'! And he was also a hero who defeated Feng Yulin, the veteran Jade King!
"Father, what kind of hero is he? Last time he was just lucky, like a 'blind cat meets a dead mouse'. He has no real ability at all!"
If he wanted Zheng Zhifeng to admit Liu Dong, how could he be willing to do so with his arrogant personality? Therefore, Zheng Zhifeng, who had never received such a comment from his father, immediately couldn't help but get angry and blurted out the sarcastic words without thinking.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, whether it was Zheng Jiaqi, the entourage from Jin Dafu Jewelry around him, or even the people from Xia Yunshang and Qingyun Jewelry not far away, they frowned almost at the same time. The magnanimity of the third generation heir of the Zheng family also increased.
Too narrow.
If this kind of person is allowed to inherit the Zheng family's property, I'm afraid it will really be true to the old saying, 'You can't get rich for more than three generations'!
"Zhifeng, what are you talking nonsense about? How did I teach you before! You need to be tolerant of others and you need to see other people's strengths and advantages. Have you forgotten these?"
Facing his father's severe rebuke, Zheng Zhifeng shrank back. He could not be afraid of anyone or care about anyone, but he only dared not disobey his father and his grandfather who founded the Zheng family from scratch.
Seeing his son's cowering look, Zheng Jiaqi's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. He would rather his son could argue with him for a few words at this moment. This at least meant that he had the courage and courage of a young man, but at the moment he was looking down upon him.
There is really no responsibility that an heir to a big family should have.
But now in front of so many people, it is not the time for him to teach his son a lesson.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
Looking at the elegant middle-aged man who came up to him, and the still aggrieved Zheng Zhifeng standing behind him, and seeing the 60% similarity in appearance between the two, Liu Dong also understood the identity of the other person.
But what surprised him was that the other party actually came to visit him. Didn't he know about the feud between him and Zheng Zhifeng?
With this doubt, Liu Dong took the other person's right hand and smiled calmly: "Hello!"
"I have offended you a lot before, and I hope Mr. Liu will forgive me! In addition, I would like to treat Mr. Liu to a casual meal tonight. I wonder if Mr. Liu is willing to give me a favor?"
Although Zheng Jiaqi also resented Liu Dong for hurting his son's face and winning 50 million euros from the Zheng family, he was more rational than Zheng Zhifeng. Between grudges and winning the friendship of an Emerald King, he chose without hesitation
The latter, because this can not only recover the loss of 50 million euros, but also bring back more profits to Chow Tai Fook Jewelry.
A successful businessman always knows how to turn around an unfavorable situation to create more profits for himself, and Zheng Jiaqi is one of the best.
"Mr. Zheng, you're welcome. Mr. Ling and I are just having a dispute of temper. There is no forgiveness or unforgiveness! As for eating..., haha, because our Quancheng Jade Association plans to have a dinner tonight, so I can only say sorry!
"
Because there were Han and his son in front of him, Liu Dong had a natural resistance to these arrogant and domineering rich second generations, so he found an excuse and declined.
It doesn't matter whether the Quancheng Jade Association has a dinner tonight or not. With Liu Dong's current status, as long as he calls, no one will refuse this opportunity to enhance friendship with him!
And Zheng Jiaqi is not stupid. Although Liu Dong's words are reasonable, he also understands that the other party has rejected his good intentions.
Although there was some anger in his heart, the scheming Zheng Jiaqi still kept a smile on his face, and there was nothing strange about his face.
"That's such a pity!... I wonder if I have the opportunity to attend this dinner?"
Hearing this, Liu Dong frowned slightly. He didn't believe that Zheng Jiaqi couldn't hear his clear rejection, but the other party actually planned to come forward.
In this case, it would be hard for Liu Dong to refuse!
Although he doesn't intend to have anything to do with the Zheng family, but guarding so many people has cost him his face, and by then the two parties who already have some minor disputes may really become enemies.
Having already offended the Han family and his son, Liu Dong was unwilling to add another more powerful enemy to himself.
So after thinking for a while, Liu Dong nodded, "Since Mr. Zheng is interested, we will naturally welcome him!"
And his words finally made Zheng Jiaqi laugh, "Haha, then I'll be ready to go to the appointment on time tonight!"
"Welcome Mr. Zheng!" Liu Dong said.
Afterwards, the two of them had a few simple chats in a formulaic manner, and then separated from each other!
Because the people from Chow Tai Fook Jewelry had already placed their bids, they walked out of the hall without staying much after they separated from Liu Dong!
