Just as Qin Fang and Tang Feifei were talking, discussing to give up the Heart of the Ocean to fulfill Kong Er, the auction for this extraordinarily beautiful and dazzling Heart of the Ocean had begun.
"Five million!"
"Eight million!"
"Ten million..."
The passion won have for jewelry is beyond n's imagination, especially at auctions where it's exhibited to the fullest.
Especially the Heart of the Ocean, an exquisite diamond necklace that is almost unrivaled globally, it possesses a deadly allure to won.
No matter how strong a woman is, when she sees this necklace, her immunity instantly drops to zero, even into negative numbers...
As the auction began, with only a few simple bids, the starting price of three million was nowhere to be found, easily surpassing the ten million mark.
But this was still far from the main course, at most it could be considered an appetizer, as most of the big tycoons hadn't moved yet.
Over at Qin Fang's side, Kong Er, who had the chance to compete, didn't even squint his eyes, as if bidding this early was beneath him.
"Twenty million..."
"Twenty-five million..."
"Thirty million..."
"Thirty-eight million..."
"Forty million..."
After a few minutes of fierce competition, the auction price reached the auction house's estimated price, and several less wealthy competitors began to drop out.
Although forty million wasn't necessarily their limit, they understood that this treasure was beyond their reach since the big buyers hadn't even made a move.
"Fifty million!"
Sure enough, as fewer people were bidding, the big buyers lost their restraint, imdiately raising the price by ten million!
A bold move!
Definitely a bold move!
This is the real action of a tycoon; compared to the previous million-level incrents, it truly stands out and puts the rest to sha.
Of course, this kind of action is also ant to sweep away those competitors who are still waiting and watching.
The auction house estimated forty million, generally expecting the auction price to rise by twenty to fifty percent, aning the necklace could fetch fifty to sixty million.
If the competition gets fierce, the price could rise significantly, possibly breaking a hundred million...
At least once in a previous auction, a treasure valued at just over thirty million was sold for 120 million, a staggering three hundred percent increase over the estimated price, causing the auction house to profit hugely!
Of course, it's mutual willingness here, it can't be blad solely on the auction house; if the competitors weren't so fierce, such situations wouldn't occur.
Perhaps it is for this reason that very rare, precious, and controversial treasures are generally scheduled for such major auctions to fetch sky-high prices...
The fifty million price once again cleared out all competitors, with the initial bidders withdrawing from the stage, leaving the competition to the big buyers.
"Sixty million!"
Kong Er made his move!
It seed he was not quite satisfied with the fifty million price, imdiately adding another ten million on top of it, confidently asserting his determination to win.
"Dear uncles and aunties, siblings, I have my eye on this necklace, and I hope you can be generous and let have it..."
Not only that, Kong Er stood up politely, clasping his hands and bowing to everyone around him, though his subsequent words were quite imposing.
"Of course, if you also have interest, you are free to compete, but I assure you Kong Er will not back down..."
However, he didn't make it too direct, otherwise it could easily be misunderstood as a threat to those present, which wouldn't be good.
Kong Er
"Since Kong Nephew has spoken, I won't compete with you..."
A gentleman about fifty years old heard Kong Er's words and readily expressed his withdrawal from the auction.
This man seed to be of uncle's generation to Kong Er. Though older, he was accompanied by a heavily made-up young woman, said to be his newlywed wife, probably bidding on this necklace to please her...
The woman next to the old man was unhappy hearing of his withdrawal, wanting to pout, but the old man glared back at her. Evil
"Well, Kong Er! Fine, I won't compete either..."
With soone stepping forward, naturally others followed suit, ridiculing Kong Er a bit while also withdrawing.
This ti it was soone of the sa generation as Kong Er, likely from one of the Top Ten Wealthy Families of Hong Kong Island.
"Hmph, what's the point of using such tactics... If you have the ability, compete fairly!"
Of course, not everyone would give face to Kong Er; even within the Top Ten Wealthy Families, relationships aren't always harmonious, with occasional friction between them.
