Rebirth 1983: Building My Business Empire

Chapter 551: Chapter 534 Charity Gala (2)

“Six hundred thousand.”

Lu Jiaxin could tell from the shouting that it was Li Huini. This classmate of hers was also fierce; while others were increasing their bids by fifty thousand, she would go up by a hundred thousand at once. How was anyone supposed to compete with that?

Zong Shimeng raised her bidding sign and shouted, “Eight hundred thousand.”

Seeing how the two of them were raising the price, the others didn’t dare to compete further. The two of them went back and forth until Li Huini won with a final bid of 1.6 million for the Jade Ruyi.

Next up were porcelain pieces, two calligraphy and painting scrolls, and then it was Nie Zhan’s limited edition wristwatch. Lu Jiaxin had thought that his watch would be more popular than her Jade Ruyi, but it ended up selling for only five hundred and eighty thousand Hong Kong Dollars. Well, in Hong Kong, it seemed that beautiful antiques with good symbolism were more popular, and the appeal of limited edition luxury wristwatches had its limits.

What surprised Lu Jiaxin was that the finale of the auction turned out to be a pale golden South Sea pearl necklace. This item hadn’t been in the auction catalog.

The auctioneer explained to everyone that this lot had been donated by a mysterious lady and because it was only delivered that morning, they didn’t have time to announce it publicly.
