Charity auctions are common in the upper class circles. Usually, various organizers obtain some treasures, antiques or jewelry or other meaningful things through various unusual channels and auction them off at high prices. It is said to be charity, but also It is indeed charity, and a large part of the donations will be donated to some legal domestic charities, but it is also a way for men and women in the upper class to communicate.
The hotel is so large that the second half of the charity auction is held in a wraparound trapezoidal room with seating behind the former ballroom.
The trapezoidal hall is very large. In addition to the place on the stage where the auction items can be displayed, there is also a large open space and a central area. At this time, there are already auctioneers preparing in front, and the organizer has arranged for Mo Jingshen and his companion Ji Nuan. The location is the best here, near the middle, and you can have an unobstructed view of everything on and off the stage.
After the auctioneer gave a brief introduction on the stage, he let people launch the first auction item.
It was a blue diamond that a jewelry mining team found at an old site in Yugoslavia. This blue diamond was almost half the size of the one Ji Nuan owned before, and it was not as transparent as hers. Moreover, this blue diamond was processed through The shape of the diamond that was created after heavy work in the later stage is not as valuable as her round diamond.
But for such an ordinary blue diamond, the starting price is 50 million.
Pure blue diamonds are rare in this world, and most of them are purchased by collectors or wealthy people from all walks of life. Many people present directly caused a sensation, and the voices of bidding were endless.
Ji Nuan sat in her seat and glanced at the man next to her as if inadvertently: "Mr. Mo, do you think this blue diamond looks good?"
Mo Jingshen glanced at her and said calmly: "Don't you have a better one than this one? Can this kind of thing catch your eye?"
Ji Nuan curled her lips: "The starting price of this low-end blue diamond can be as high as 50 million. I'm curious, how much did you spend to get that blue diamond?"
Mo Jingshen didn't answer, but there was a hint of smile in his eyes.
He didn't know whether he was laughing at her for not returning the blue diamond to him in the end, or whether he was laughing at her for hiding the blue diamond at home and never dared to wear it.
Ji Nuan originally just wanted to inquire about the price of the blue diamond, but when she saw Mo Jingshen's smiling eyes, she turned away and stopped asking.
The asking price on the field has exceeded 120 million. Ji Nuan thought that the blue diamond was not worth the price, but these people still kept bidding.
She had to suspect that the one in her hand was probably worth more than one billion...
One billion is really not something anyone can afford, let alone just a small diamond.
For such a long time, Mo Jingshen would never give her roses or jewelry to please her, but he would take off the suit of a superior person, lose his dignity and aloofness, and cook dinner for her alone. He even risked his life for her, but in order to make up for the loss of her never wearing a wedding ring, he ordered the blue diamond for her, allowing her to create the style she likes according to her own preferences, and turned it into a necklace. Well, no matter if it turns into a ring, everything does not respect her thoughts and preferences.
The set of Vca jewelry she wore around her neck and ears today was probably because the bouquet of roses her aunt's son gave her made her angry.
It was rare for Mo Jingshen to be so superficial. In order to help her match her dress, he just waved a set of priceless jewelry.
Obviously this man thought that such superficial behavior would be frowned upon by her, so he simply kissed a mark on her neck so that she would have to wear the necklace even if she didn't want to.
Even if this man is superficial, he can't hide his dark nature.
There was a CEO of a company next to him who saw Ji Nuan staring at the blue diamond on the stage. He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Ji, this blue diamond was dug out from the old site of Yugoslavia. Let's not talk about the blue diamond." What is its value? Its origin and color are definitely worth grabbing, and it is also valuable for collection."
"Really?" Ji Nuan gave the boss next to him a polite smile.
A certain boss thought he had spoken to her heart, and was thinking about continuing to chat with her when he suddenly met the man's eyes that glanced at him: "Mr. Chen, your company started in the jewelry industry in China, I thought you I have a good style in appreciating jewelry and diamonds, but what you just said really makes people question your company’s taste in jewelry and the quality of all jewelry and diamonds.”
A certain boss' face stiffened and he smiled awkwardly: "I was just chatting casually with Mr. Ji. I'm not saying how top-notch this blue diamond is, but after all, girls like this kind of thing. I saw that Mr. Ji never asked for a price. , thinking that she didn’t understand the value and rarity of blue diamonds, so I just talked to her casually, not what you meant, Mr. Mo... "
Ji Nuan: "..."
It turns out that this person is a jeweler, no wonder she is not familiar with it.
As a jeweler, it is really unscrupulous to say such a thing and say that this kind of blue diamond is worth collecting.
It was obvious that he had not raised a placard to participate in the bidding for such a long time.
Ji Nuan continued to look at the stage with no expression, and saw that the final bid was 150 million, and she was taken away by a round-looking man.
Then two more auction items came up, both of which were of collectible value.
Until the last auction item appeared, it was a painting of "Peach Garden" by the famous painter Zhang Daqian.
Ji Nuan looked at the painting, and finally a hint of interest appeared in her eyes.
This picture of Peach Blossom…
She remembered seeing it in the study room of Ji's family when she was a child. At that time, Ji Hongwen regarded this picture as a treasure. It was said that he spent more than 100 million to buy it, but later, for unknown reasons, this picture was no longer hung. In the study, which they haven't seen again in the past few years, she asked the servant at home by chance. The servant said that Ji Dong owed someone else a favor. The other party didn't want anything but this calligraphy and painting. In the end, Ji Dong couldn't Unable to bear the pain, she gave up.
This was all many, many years ago.
Unexpectedly, this famous painting by Zhang Daqian has been circulated to this kind of auction.
In a place like this, the price of this one would only be higher.
Ji Nuan had been showing little interest in all the other auction items just now, and was about to fall asleep. But now, after the "Picture of Peach Blossoms" came out, her eyes were shining in the same direction.
Mo Jingshen didn't say anything, but the boss of the jeweler sitting next to her said: "Mr. Ji is so young that he is not interested in the auctioned jewelry, but is instead interested in this kind of antique calligraphy and painting?"
Ji Nuan narrowed her eyes, shook her head and smiled, "No, I just saw this painting when I was a child, and it left a deep impression on me."
