Chapter 194: Chapter 194 Boss, here are the details of today’s auction transactions for your review
“The last highlight of today’s auction is the largest diamond being auctioned in the country this year, a blue diamond weighing about 16.38 carats.”
With that, the rare blue diamond was displayed.
“Wow, it’s so beautiful.”
“This is the first time I’ve seen such a large blue diamond.”
After seeing the blue diamond, many guests murmured, intrigued.
“This 16-carat blue diamond starts at a bid of 400 million.”
As the host’s words fell, the auction began.
400 million?!
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped.
They originally thought the starting price would be around 200 million, but it turned out to be double.
If they won it for 400 million, the profit would probably be limited.
“410 million!”
A wealthy man spoke.
“420 million.”
Another big name in the jewelry industry joined in, wanting to buy it and commission a top master to create a brand-new piece of art jewelry.
“450 million.”
Suddenly, Liu Ruobing next to Chu Chen shouted a bid.
With this price, the room fell silent.
Curiously, people turned to see who it was and realized it was Liu Ruobing. They understood.
President Liu seemed to want to buy it too, to have it crafted by a master into a world-class piece of jewelry.
For those in the jewelry business, it had this value, but for others, it didn’t, and many gave up.
Soon, the price of the blue diamond soared to 500 million.
“510 million.”
The jewelry magnate was unwilling to give up.
“520 million.”
Liu Ruobing gritted her teeth, seeming to have reached her limit.
“530 million.”
“540 million.”
Soon, Liu Ruobing’s voice was overshadowed by others.
The price surged to 540 million, at which point Liu Ruobing gave up.
In the end, the price reached 620 million, and everyone fell silent.
Just as the jewelry magnate thought he had it, Chu Chen spoke up, “650 million.”
They didn’t know Chu Chen, but when they saw him sitting next to Liu Ruobing, they suddenly realized.
Except for those who specialize in jewelry, this blue diamond was not worth that price at all.
And this young man making a bid, was entirely to win over Liu Ruobing.
The youth’s fervor, his anger crowned for beauty, they understood.
But to offer such a price, they were impressed.
“680 million.”
The jewelry magnate couldn’t hold on any longer, making a final attempt.
“710 million.”
Chu Chen spoke again, looking every part the passionate youth blinded by love.
To reach such an astronomical 710 million, everyone shook their heads.
The young man, truly rash with youth, lacked any sense.
After Chu Chen spoke, no one bid, and a hint of a smile appeared on Chu Chen’s face as he looked at Liu Ruobing.
“710 million once!”
“710 million twice!”
Just as the host was about to call the third time, a voice came.
“750 million.”
Fang Gaoxuan finally spoke.
Having been duped by Chu Chen for more than a billion earlier on, almost two billion, Fang Gaoxuan was deeply resentful of Chu Chen.
After the last incident, during the auction of the final highlight item, seeing Chu Chen bid, Fang Gaoxuan did not speak directly but observed for a while.
Watching Chu Chen repeatedly bid, including his actions and expressions.
Finally, Fang Gaoxuan confirmed that Chu Chen truly wanted to win over Liu Ruobing, his anger crowned for beauty.
After hesitating for a long time and unable to swallow his anger, Fang Gaoxuan finally shouted.
This time, though he spoke up, he only added 40 million.
Since Chu Chen had already bid up to 700 million, with only an additional 40 million, Chu Chen surely wouldn’t give up.
Although Fang Gaoxuan also wanted to scam Chu Chen for a few billion, after the earlier incident, Fang Gaoxuan didn’t want to take risks, so to be safe, he bid 750 million.
Moreover, this time, he decided he would only call out a price once.
As long as Chu Chen bid, he wouldn’t say anything, hoping to scam Chu Chen even a little bit, he wasn’t greedy.
However, just when Fang Gaoxuan thought it was a sure thing, Chu Chen suddenly stopped speaking.
“750 million once!”
“750 million twice!”
“750 million three times, sold!”
As the auction hammer fell once again, Fang Gaoxuan’s mindset exploded!
It’s over again?
Is it really over?!
Why didn’t Chu Chen bid?!
He only bid once, and only added 40 million!
You were willing to pay 700 million, but not an additional 40 million?
Are you crazy?
The congratulatory voice of the host was like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky, exploding in Fang Gaoxuan’s ears!
Fang Gaoxuan sat there, dumbfounded.
Seeing this, Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction.
The second plan, successfully accomplished!
After the last auction, if Chu Chen used the previous method again, Fang Gaoxuan definitely wouldn’t fall for it.
So to trap Fang Gaoxuan, Chu Chen specially invited Liu Ruobing to act out a play with him.
Actually, Liu Ruobing didn’t come for this blue diamond at all, and she had no interest in it.
It was only because Chu Chen asked that Liu Ruobing did so.
With Liu Ruobing’s cooperation, combined with Chu Chen’s acting skills akin to a movie star, Fang Gaoxuan took the bait again.
Chu Chen had bought the blue diamond from the seller for 350 million.
Now he sold it to Fang Gaoxuan for 750 million, netting a profit of 400 million.
Adding the previous more than a billion, Chu Chen profited over 500 million from Fang Gaoxuan.
Just by casually speaking out, more than 500 million hit his account, it was exhilarating!
Fang Gaoxuan truly was a good person, an extraordinarily good person!
Sitting there, Fang Gaoxuan still hadn’t come to his senses.
The auction ended, and many guests began to leave.
Amid the noise, Fang Gaoxuan regained clarity.
In this auction, he lost five to six billion!
Fang Gaoxuan was so infuriated he even wanted to kill Chu Chen.
No, this couldn’t be just let go.
Right, didn’t Liu Ruobing appear to like the blue diamond a lot?
Then give it to Liu Ruobing, maybe he could win Liu Ruobing’s heart?
He couldn’t help but think of how Liu Ruobing participated in the auction earlier.
He was willing to take a gamble.
Having already lost five to six billion, losing a little more was no big deal.
Besides, what if he won?
Then not only would he have Liu Ruobing, but also more than 30 percent of Tianyun Jewelry company’s shares, all his.
Thinking of this, Fang Gaoxuan walked over, speaking very gentlemanly: “Miss Liu, diamonds should go with beauties, I am willing to give you this diamond.”
Hearing this, Liu Ruobing was about to refuse.
Chu Chen spoke: “President Liu, it’s his heartfelt intention, why not accept it?”
“Afterward, once it’s brought to the company and designed by someone, selling it could bring substantial profit to the company.”
Hmm?
Hearing this, Fang Gaoxuan froze, right, Chu Chen was also a shareholder in Tianyun Jewelry.
If the diamond was sold in the future, wouldn’t Chu Chen also receive a large sum?
He unwittingly gave tens of millions to his rival?
Fang Gaoxuan felt deeply uncomfortable!
Although he had lost a few billion earlier, that didn’t fall into Chu Chen’s pockets.
But this blue diamond was different.
Fang Gaoxuan felt like slapping himself.
“Boss, here is today’s auction transaction details for you to review.”
Just then, the manager of Sheng Tang Auction came over with a document, respectfully speaking to Chu Chen.
Fang Gaoxuan recognized this manager.
Boss, what boss?
Hearing the manager’s address for Chu Chen, Fang Gaoxuan was stunned!
What do you think?
