Chapter 165 Congratulations to the Guests in Box 1
Just in case, Lingmao did not leave Bai Yaoyao's side. Instead, he followed her to the bathroom, changed into a dress, and then returned to Zhang Zhaoxing's table.
At that time, the auction was almost halfway through. Zhang Zhaoxing breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Bai Yaoyao finally appear. He quickly leaned over and said, "Miss Bai, I thought something happened to you! I thought if you didn't come back, I would go look for you!"
This is not just the country, it's a mess outside!
This Miss Bai is Zhong Changqing's junior. If anything happens to her, he won't be able to explain!
Bai Yaoyao smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, I made you worry. I didn't expect to meet an acquaintance at the venue, so I chatted with her for a while."
Zhang Zhaoxing glanced at the civet cat next to him and saw that she just nodded slightly and had no intention of greeting him, so he didn't bother himself and just smiled slightly.
On the stage, the charming auctioneer had just finished auctioning a crystal necklace and was introducing the next item in suspense. Bai Yaoyao listened absentmindedly, her mind flying elsewhere.
I wonder if Gu Chengfeng and the others managed to get Brother Kun and that Huazai out of the venue safely...
What is the relationship between Dad and Brother Kun? Is he also involved in drug trafficking...
Why did he divorce his mother back then? Was it because of an affair? That domineering young lady didn't seem to be much younger than her...
At this moment, a deafening cry resounded throughout the venue. This sudden sound was like a thunder that brought her scattered thoughts back to the scene.
She looked up in a daze, and followed everyone's gaze towards the auction table.
I saw a video playing on the huge screen, showing a set of red gold butterfly flower headpieces shining with bright light.
This set of headwear was handmade by eight craftsmen over a period of three months. It includes top hairpins, sideburn hairpins, long hairpins, center-picked hairpins, center-split hairpins, sideburn hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings, flower ornaments, small hairpins and pecking needles. More than 3 pieces of accessories are displayed one by one in the video.
Each piece is lifelike, with the luster of red gold and the shape of the butterfly-loving flower complementing each other, all of them exuding the classical beauty of China.
The video ends with a lady in ancient costume, wearing colorful clothes and a green crown on her head, walking towards the crowd like a beauty in a painting.
The towering bun, the drooping hair and the unique hair accessories complement each other, creating a classic yet fashionable look with an elegant temperament and full of charm.
The lights in the venue were bright, shining on the exquisite accessories making them look sparkling, especially the hairpin with flowers on it. As the lady walked, butterflies fluttered their wings as if they were about to spread their wings and fly.
The whole place was filled with exclamations, and even the auctioneer couldn't hide the admiration in his eyes, and his voice was a little higher when he introduced the item.
Zhang Zhaoxing sighed repeatedly, "As expected of Minghui! He has brought out all his best skills! The gold and pearls on this headpiece are worth a lot of money, not to mention the craftsmanship!"
Li Dapeng's news was kept secret! It seems that Minghui must have received foreign investment a long time ago, otherwise he would not have invested so much to create this headgear.
He calmly glanced at Bai Yaoyao who was looking at the stage, and felt relieved in his heart. Fortunately, he had the "crown" sent by Miss Bai, otherwise Phoenix Jewelry's position as the number one in China would be in jeopardy.
Seeing the bids constantly updated under the guidance of the auctioneer, Zhang Zhaoxing, who had always felt that he had won the auction, suddenly became nervous. Could it be that "Crown" could not beat "Butterfly Love Flower"?
"Congratulations to the guest in Box 4 for winning the Butterfly Love Flower set for US$5800 million!" As the auctioneer dropped the hammer, warm applause broke out at the scene!
5800 million US dollars, according to the recent exchange rate, 1 US dollar ≈ 7.24 RMB, that is more than million RMB!
Zhang Zhaoxing's pupils shrank, and he glanced at Li Dapeng, who was sitting at the table in front of them with a happy expression on his face. His heart skipped a beat. He had previously estimated that the price of the "crown" would be about this price...
But he quickly adjusted his mood and was not in a hurry. The people in the auction house were very smart. The value of the "crown" must be higher than that of "Butterfly Love Flower"! Otherwise, they would not put the crown at the end! Although the current transaction price of "Butterfly Love Flower" exceeded his expectations, he believed in the "crown!" and the auction house!
The atmosphere was extremely lively and the auctioneer quickly introduced another item.
Time passed by minute by minute, and finally it was the "crown"!
“The next lot is my personal favorite! Let’s unveil its mystery together~”
The auctioneer stood gracefully in the center of the stage, slightly sideways, and slowly pointed her slender hand in the direction of the big screen, guiding the eyes of everyone present to look there.
Everyone's eyes shifted to the big screen following the direction of the auctioneer's finger, and an extremely gorgeous crown appeared before their eyes.
The base of this crown is made of pure gold and carefully woven through a brushed process. Its unique design makes it appear like a blooming flower, and each "petal" is so lifelike and ingenious.
What is even more wonderful is that in the center of these delicate "petals" are dotted with dazzling rubies, which are like twinkling stars in the night sky, emitting intoxicating light.
In the center of the crown is a gem the size of a pigeon egg, which is transparent and bright in color. The whole crown perfectly combines nobility and elegance, making it charming at first sight.
The scene was silent until the etiquette lady came out wearing a crown. Then the whole place suddenly became noisy and discussions broke out one after another!
The auctioneer smiled, her red lips parted, and her sweet voice echoed throughout the venue.
"Dear guests, we are now about to start bidding on today's 23rd lot - the Elf Crown!"
"The Elf Crown, starting price is $150 million! Each bid increase must not be less than $1!"
As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the interface of the auction system began to scroll rapidly on the large screen behind her, and she announced the constantly refreshing bids at a moderate speed.
"Bid 103 million on the 1500th!"
"Bid 32 million on the 2300th!"
"Bid 17 million on the 3100th!"
Off the court, Zhang Zhaoxing clenched his fists, stared at the stage without blinking, and sweat broke out on his head due to nervousness.
Even Bai Yaoyao, who had been daydreaming, felt a little nervous. After all, according to the contract, she would get 80% of the crown's profits!
After the bid for the crown exceeded 5800 million, Zhang Zhaoxing's body visibly relaxed, and the upturned corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed.
By the end of the auction, the only people left were the guests in the private rooms on the second floor.
1号包厢和3号包厢角逐不下，直到价格突破7000万，才被1号包厢的客人一口气加价500万直接拍下。
The auctioneer on the scene was also smiling, "7500 million for the first time!"
"7500 million for the second time!"
She paused slightly, scanned the auction system, and after confirming that there were no further bids, she made the final decision.
"Congratulations to the guest in Box 1 for winning the Elf Crown for $7500 million!"
She walked gracefully to the center of the stage with a sweet smile on her face.
“Dear guests, this auction has officially ended. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to everyone for participating and supporting us. This is an unparalleled visual feast! The brilliance is not over yet, and more surprises are waiting for you to discover at the jewelry exhibition outside the venue. I look forward to sharing more brilliant moments with you!”
