Power and Wealth - 775. Chapter 775 [Pink diamonds are in hand!
the next day.
In the evening, the party school dormitory.
Dong Xuebin packed his things in the house, and took all his bank cards with him.
Roommate Han Xinghua said, “Director Dong, are you going out?”
“Yeah.” Dong Xuebin turned his head to Xiao Dong: “There is something wrong.”
“This time is a closed teaching. If you want to go out, you may have to ask for leave.” Han Xinghua reminded.
“Don’t go out the door.” Dong Xuebin packed the money, “I just wandered around in the compound to relax.”
“Well, that’s okay. If you ask for too much leave, it may affect your credits.”
Dong Xuebin naturally knew this, but today was the auction of the pink diamonds. What Dong Xuebin said could get to the party school. After leaving the dormitory, Dong Xuebin looked left and right, and strode towards The party school gate walked to the party school, looked around, simply used a stop to stay still for time, and then overturned from a low wall in the backyard out of the courtyard of the Central Party School, reached out and took a taxi to the side of the road.
In the car.
“Master, go to Guardian to auction.”
“okay.”
“Thanks a lot.”
Twenty minutes later, at the gate of Guardian Auction House.
Dong Xuebin paid the bill and got out of the car. He put on a large sunglasses that he had prepared for a long time. He didn’t want people to recognize him. He was also a national cadre anyway. Participating in this kind of bidding for hundreds of millions of yuan, people know that the impact is always not too great. Okay, so I had to do some disguise to avoid trouble.
There are huge crowds in the Guardian.
Probably because the pair of pink diamonds were so eye-catching, a lot of people came.
Dong Xuebin completed the formalities at the front desk and got the auction card. He walked into the auction hall one by one. It was almost full of people. After searching for a long time, Dong Xuebin found an empty seat in a corner of the back row. sit down. It is now a break time, and the autumn auction starts in the afternoon. Because the pink diamond is the finale, Dong Xuebin only came so late, and now he is in time for the auction.
The rest is over and the auction starts again.
Many people who went to the bathroom and smoked outside have returned.
“The following is a blue and white porcelain from the Ming Dynasty…” the auctioneer said loudly while holding the microphone.
Dong Xuebin’s thoughts were not here. He closed his eyes and waited quietly. Now it is also time to recharge his energy. There will be a battle for a while.
One…two…three…soon, all three of the collections were photographed, and unexpectedly, there was still a very valuable calligraphy and painting that was shot. Recently, the market for antique collections has not been as popular as in the previous two years, and everyone’s investment concept has gradually become more rational. For example, the falling price of Hetian jade and the pricelessness of jadeite can all explain the current bubble in the collector’s market. But of course, there is no shortage of buyers for good things, there is no doubt about it.
For example, the following thing.
“Thank you all for coming to Guardian’s autumn auction this season. It’s finally our last finale auction.” The auctioneer said with a smile: “I believe you all know, yes, the last collection is extremely precious. This pair of rare pink diamonds weighs about 20 carats and 18 carats. It has been kept as a private collection for the past 60 years. This diamond has been rated as “Fancy Intense Pink” by the American Gemological Society-the most perfect Pink, set between the shield-shaped diamonds on the silver ring.”
Suddenly, many people’s attention was pulled up, and they were talking endlessly.
“It’s finally started.”
“I saw with my own eyes that it looks more beautiful than in the news.”
“It’s just that the price is too high. How extravagant is it to buy a pair of diamond rings for several hundred million?”
“This is the most expensive pair of diamond rings in the world, and I don’t know who can photograph it.”
There are many multi-millionaires and billionaires present, but they are too far away for this pair of rings.
After some introduction, here is the viewing time.
Dong Xuebin immediately went on stage with many people and took a look at the pair of diamond rings in the glass box with his own eyes.
Beauty is indeed ridiculously beautiful. The pink color seems to have a fascinating magical power, which always attracts everyone’s eyes. The gloss and cut surface of the diamond are perfect. No matter which angle you look at, the gloss of the diamond is the same. Impeccable, a pair of pink diamonds. Compared with ordinary diamonds and even colored diamonds, they are more than a grade higher than that of ordinary diamonds or even colored diamonds.
The free appraisal is over.
Everyone went back to their seats.
Dong Xuebin once again made his determination to buy it. Xie Huilan absolutely likes this pair of rings!
The auctioneer said loudly: “Now we will start bidding, with a fixed price increase of 1 million per round of placards. The starting price is 80 million yuan, and we will start bidding now.”
As soon as the voice fell, many people raised their placards!
“Eight-one million!”
“85 million!”
“Nine million!”
“Ninety-one million!”
“Oh, one hundred million yuan, one hundred million yuan from the auctioneer on the 11th!”
Almost nothing happened yet, Dong Xuebin just blinked his eyes before he had time to raise the placard, and the auction price of pink diamonds had already exceeded the 100 million mark!
Dong Xuebin’s heart sank, knowing that this competition will definitely be unprecedentedly fierce, so he immediately raised the auction board and said loudly: “110 million!”
A middle-aged woman immediately offered the price, “120 million!”
Young people under the age of thirties also said: “One hundred and twenty-five million!”
The auctioneer smiled while holding the microphone and said: “No. 137’s 125 million, is there a higher bid? 125 million once…”
Dong Xuebin raised his placard without thinking, “One hundred and thirty million!”
A businessman then said: “One hundred and forty million!”
The middle-aged woman looked back at them before, “…160 million!” He directly added 20 million.
But even so, the voice shouting below did not mean a pause, “170 million!”
“I gave out 180 million!”
“One hundred and eighty-five million!”
“…Two hundred million!” The businessman seemed bound to win.
It was 200 million yuan, and the bid price reached 200 million yuan in just two minutes. This is an expert’s estimate of the estimated market value of pink diamonds.
The scene fell silent, and fell into a brief silence.
The auctioneer said: “200 million yuan! The 28th bidder bid 200 million yuan! Are there any competitors?”
At this price point, competitors are several times less at once, and several previous active buyers shook their heads and gave up the bid.
The young man had a meal, “…Two hundred and five million!”
The middle-aged woman said cruelly: “Two hundred and ten million!”
The businessman looked at them, “215 million!”
As soon as the middle-aged woman pondered, she finally put down the auction board and had no intention of fighting anymore.
The young man also hesitated for a while, frowning thinking about something.
“Two hundred and fifteen million at a time…” the auctioneer said: “No. 28’s 215 million, are there any bidders?”
Now this price is a bit close to Dong Xuebin’s bottom line. He has a total of more than 280 million yuan on hand. If the transaction is less than 240 million yuan, he will throw out more than 10% of commissions, taxes and other things. The cost has already exceeded Dong Xuebin’s total funds, he can’t afford it at all, and even if he can barely buy it, Dong Xuebin will suddenly be penniless.
But… to thank sister! Dude fight it!
Dong Xuebin slowly raised the sign, “Two hundred twenty million!”
The young man gritted his teeth and held up a sign saying: “Two hundred and twenty-one million!”
Dong Xuebin increased the price without hesitation, “225 million!”
At this time, many people looked at this young man with big sunglasses in surprise, and the eyes of the auctioneer and several staff members also fell on him.
“Two hundred and twenty-five million at a time…” The auctioneer raised his hammer, “The 225 million of No. 233…”
The young man frowned and threw the sign on the table, and said something to a fellow walking beside him, and did not bid any more.
The current auction price has actually exceeded the value of the pink diamond. However, the rare thing is more expensive, and there is no reason to auction this thing.
The businessman who had been bidding hesitated for a moment, but finally did not speak.
But at this moment, the former middle-aged woman didn’t know where the muscles were moving, and she raised her card viciously again, “Two hundred and thirty million!”
Dong Xuebin cursed an swear word in his heart and continued: “Two hundred and thirty-three million!”
The middle-aged woman quickly said: “235 million!”
The competition is too fierce, and now it seems that only Dong Xuebin and the middle-aged woman are bidding.
Dong Xuebin didn’t know how much the woman’s plan funds were. He just knew that his own money might not be enough.
How to do?
Add or not?
Dong Xuebin paid attention to the woman’s expression and found that her eyes were also a bit painful. It seemed that the price was a bit unbearable for her. Thinking of this, Dong Xuebin also gave it up, trying to show a firm and indifferent expression. He raised his card generously, “Two hundred and thirty-seven million!”
The middle-aged woman’s face changed.
This is already a sky-high price!
If the transaction is concluded, the final auction price will be close to 300 million, which has far exceeded the estimated price of the pink diamond!
“Two hundred and thirty-seven million once!” The auctioneer’s hammer was raised again. “Two hundred and thirty-seven million from the auctioneer No. 233 twice…Is there any higher bid…Is there any It’s…” The auctioneer’s arm paused in the air, “…The third time for 237 million! The deal!”
Dong Xuebin’s expression was shocked, and it was done!
The auctioneer smiled and said: “Let’s congratulate the auctioneer No. 233!”
For a while, everyone happily clapped their hands.
Everyone knows that this pair of pink diamonds may be sold at sky-high prices, but they did not expect to exceed the estimate so much, because the estimate itself is set by the auction company, which has exceeded the market value by a lot, but the final auction transaction amount has exceeded it. Approximately 40%, judging from this amount, the world’s most expensive pair of diamond rings… is indeed well-deserved, this is the highest transaction amount in the history of diamond rings!
Dong Xuebin smiled politely at everyone, also very happy in his heart.
Get it!
Pink diamonds are finally here!
