C492 Auction of Pearls
"What?"
Young Master Tong was completely dumbstruck.
"Before I appeal to the auction company to persuade you to leave the venue, I hope you can take the initiative to leave. At least … That way, he would be able to walk a little better! You don't want the headlines of the Gang City to be filled with 'Young Master Tong being chased out of the auction house' tomorrow, the reason is … "No cultural level …"
Faang Cheng smiled as he looked at Young Master Tong, each and every word he said stung his heart.
"You … Fang, you're too arrogant! You are so arrogant in Gang City … are you not afraid that you will not be able to return to the Gang City? "
"I'm not afraid at all, I'm …" The thing I am least afraid of is threats. If you dare to come, I will just wait! "
Faang Cheng's expression made Young Master Tong feel an inexplicable sense of fear. The evil aura that was being emitted from his eyes caused his entire body to tremble uncontrollably, and he unconsciously felt an urge to retreat.
"You … You … "Hey Fang, just you wait, I'll remember you!"
Young Master Tong spoke in a weak and fierce tone, pulling her cute little girlfriend along as she frantically left the scene of the Auction! As he coldly watched the two people's departing figures, Faang Cheng retracted his gaze.
"Sorry for delaying everyone's time! Teacher Xie, continue! "
He politely bowed to Xie Guohai and everyone else in the seats. Of course, no one minded, they kept waving their hands, saying that it was okay, participating in the Auction was even giving them such a wonderful show, who would care!
As the Auction continued, Faang Cheng slowly returned to his seat.
"When I said I was the owner of those pearls, was there anyone who acted strangely?"
He quietly asked Yu Yien, who was beside him. Yu Yien looked ahead and nodded his head slightly.
"Did you see a middle-aged man in a grey suit at two o'clock?"
"En, I saw it!"
Faang Cheng seemed to inadvertently glance at it.
"When he heard you say that you were the owner of the pearl, his body immediately tensed up. This is a sign of nervousness!"
So it turns out that Yu Yien was in charge of observing all the suspicious figures.
"En, is there anything else?"
Faang Cheng remembered this man in the grey suit.
Yes, the third from your left side, the young man dressed in casual clothes, he has been very uneasy ever since he entered this Auction site. The air conditioning in the room is very strong, but he has been sweating.
Yu Yien observed the situation in detail, while Faang Cheng burst out in laughter.
"Maybe he's already sweating a lot!"
Faang Cheng's sense of humor went online.
"Anything else?"
"There is another one. Behind you, at 5 o'clock, there is a young girl wearing a denim skirt. Ever since you said that you are the owner of the pearl, your eyes have never left you, but …" Looking at her burning gaze, I don't know if she belongs to the special group that needs to be doubted or is purely admiring you! "
Faang Cheng was a little depressed. He pretended to play with his chair and turned around to look, and sure enough, a little girl who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old was using her beautiful yet bright eyes to look at him enthusiastically. Faang Cheng's heart skipped a beat as he hurriedly turned his head!
"Am I right?"
Yu Yien secretly laughed.
"This is not a suspicious object … Absolutely not! "
Faang Cheng woodenly shook his head!
After that, Xie Guohai auctioned a few other special items. There was a snuff bottle, a set of silver wine jug glasses from the Qing Dynasty, a parrot green Taohe Stone, and an evening Qing Dynasty Western Statue Bell!
Faang Cheng liked the Western Bell a lot, hence he bid $320,000 to buy it! The young lady in a denim skirt was also bidding for the Western Bell, but when she saw Faang Cheng participating, she immediately gave up.
"I see... That girl is interested in you! "
Yu Yien laughed and said:
"Shut up …"
Faang Cheng said while gnashing his teeth!
"Well, up until now, all our previous items have been auctioned off. Congratulations to the bidders who have won their prizes!"
Xie Guohai paused for a while.
"Then... Next will be the main event of our Auction! "Ten large Southern Ocean Pearls with a diameter of over 20 mm!"
Amidst Xie Guohai's voice, the ceremonial staff moved the glass case that was holding the ten pearls inside to the auction stage. The ten pearls, that were so large that they could shock the heavens, were quietly lying there, releasing a magnificent luster! The pink pearls were rarely seen in the world, so they were naturally beautiful beyond compare. However, the six pearls were also unique. Although their color was similar to that of ordinary pearls, once the light shined on them, they would emit a colorful luster!
"Wow …"
Everyone present let out sounds of surprise except for the man in the grey suit and the young man in casual clothes, who Yu Yien mentioned earlier, did not display much surprise. On the other hand, the girl in the denim skirt who had been staring at Faang Cheng this whole time, had a bright light in his eyes when he saw the ten pearls.
"Because these ten pearls are of different colors, sizes, and shapes, we will begin the auction one by one! "But before the auction, I want to give everyone a little trick …"
Xie Guohai had even started to keep them in suspense.
"Pa …"
Suddenly, the whole venue turned pitch black.
Ah!
Following the extinguishing of the lights in the hall, some of the timid ladies present screamed out. However, what they saw immediately silenced them!
Those ten huge pearls were like ten small light bulbs, faintly emitting light in the room without any light, and the luster emitted by each pearl was different.
"So beautiful …"
"It's simply like a fairyland …"
Everyone was attracted!
But in just a short moment, the lights in the Auction Arena were ignited once again!
"I believe everyone has seen and understood the unique charm of these ten pearls! Then, let's start the auction! "I will start with the smallest white pearl, and you will all be invited to auction according to your needs and the actual situation!"
Xie Guohai, who had already predicted that there would definitely be chaos during the auction, reminded everyone in advance. He still underestimated the charm of these pearls and the infatuation of those women …
"Three million nine hundred thousand going once …" Three million nine hundred thousand twice … "
Xie Guohai's mouth was a little dry. This first pearl had already gone from three hundred thousand to three million nine hundred thousand, and after bidding for a total of thirteen times, he had already forgotten how he bid for it!
The first pearl was actually what many of the weaker bidders wanted the most. As it was the lowest price, it was also the pearl that they could bear! But he never would have thought that the first one would be copied to such an extent!
"4 million!"
Under the pressure of his wife, the number eleven bidder once again called out a price.
"Wow …"
Everyone's surprised voices could be heard,
"Good!" The number eleven bidder had raised it to four million, while number one had already raised it to four million! Does anyone else agree on the price? "
Xie Guohai glanced at the people bidding on the stage, no one raised their hands.
"4 million going once, 4 million going twice, 4 million … Three times! "Deal!"
This first pearl was finally sold for four million, Xie Guohai wiped the sweat off her forehead.
"Congratulations to the number eleven bidder for winning the number one pearl!"
Number 11's wife snuggled happily beside him, and he finally let out a long sigh of relief. No matter what, as long as his wife was happy!
Faang Cheng agreed with this point, and automatically separated him into the ranks of good men!
