“Ladies and gentlemen, the auction continues. This is today’s fifteenth lot, a pear-shaped pink diamond weighing 10.03 carats, from De Beers’ diamond mine in South Africa.
As you can see, this is a brilliant-cut loose diamond with a total of fifty-seven facets. Each facet is extremely perfect, showing the rich and saturated color of the diamond, which is dazzling!
After professional evaluation by the Antwerp International Gemological Institute, the color of this pear-shaped pink diamond has reached the highest level, with TypeⅡA quality. The diamond is crystal clear and without any flaws!
It can be said with absolute certainty that this is a top-quality, extremely precious diamond, and it is a top-grade pink diamond that has been very popular in the market in recent years. It is definitely not to be missed!
The starting price of this pear-shaped pink diamond is 11 million euros. Each bid increase cannot be less than 200,000 euros. After exceeding 16 million euros, the price increase must not be less than 500,000 euros!
The introduction ends here, the auction starts now, everyone is welcome to bid enthusiastically, 11 million euros, 11 million euros, which gentleman or lady should bid, please raise your bidding number! "
The auctioneer's passionate voice came from the stage and echoed throughout the auction hall.
While bidding loudly, the auctioneer's eyes were like radar, quickly scanning the audience in order to immediately spot the buyers who raised their placards to respond to the bid.
The auxiliary auction personnel standing on both sides of the auction table also patrolled the entire venue with their eyes, ready to check for missing items and remind the auctioneer to prevent the buyer's bid from being missed!
Before the auctioneer's voice fell, a buyer had already eagerly raised his bidding sign. He was a middle-aged white woman sitting on the right side of the fourth row.
Almost at the same time that the buyer raised his bidding number, the auctioneer pointed his hand here and nodded to the buyer who was the first to respond.
"OK! Buyer No. 65 is priced at 11 million euros. She is a beautiful lady, Mrs. Muller from Switzerland. Thank you very much for your support!
The current price is 11.2 million euros, 11.2 million euros. Which gentleman or lady should pay? I look forward to seeing your bid number plate! "
With the high-pitched voice of the auctioneer, a new bid was released, and the curtain of competition officially opened.
In the blink of an eye, another buyer raised his bidding number high. He was a jeweler from Southeast Asia. He was sitting slightly behind and looked like he was of Chinese origin.
Following this, many jewelers and individual buyers continued to raise bidding signs to respond, or loudly announced their prices, joining the competition!
In less than two minutes, the price of this ten-carat pear-shaped pink diamond quickly exceeded the €13 million mark and began to move towards €14 million.
When the price exceeded 13 million euros, Mr. Zheng from Hong Kong raised his bidding number, joined the competition, and directly quoted a price of 13.5 million euros.
While raising the sign to quote, the jewelry tycoon from Hong Kong turned to look at Ye Tian with a smile on his face, a hint of challenge in his eyes.
Ye Tian just nodded with a smile and did not take any actual actions to respond to the other party.
Next, Hong Kong super-rich Mr. Liu, who was sitting in the second row of seats, and British jewelry tycoon Lawrence, who was sitting not far to the left of the first row, also joined the battle group one after another.
The atmosphere at the scene is getting more and more heated, and the competition is getting more and more fierce. Bidding numbers are coming one after another, and the voices of quotations are endless!
Soon, the price for this pear-shaped pink diamond reached 15 million euros. The buyer who quoted this price was none other than Mr. Liu, who was sitting behind Ye Tian.
After hearing this offer, many competitors shook their heads helplessly and withdrew from the bidding.
Most of the buyers participating in this jewelry and diamond auction are jewelers from all over the world. There are very few individual buyers like Ye Tian and Mr. Liu!
And the strength of these jewelers is not the same, or even vastly different. There are super giants who dominate the jewelry market, and there are also small jewelers with only two or three stores!
No matter the size or strength, as a jeweler, you must consider the issue of profitability. You cannot bid wildly based on personal preferences. No one is willing to lose money and make a profit!
The price quoted for this pear-shaped pink diamond was already very high at this time. Some small and medium-sized jewelers with less strength and low brand premium could no longer see much profit margin and had to choose to withdraw!
Even those big and powerful jewelers, such as Mr. Cheng from Hong Kong and Lawrence from the UK, couldn’t help but frowned when they heard the quotation, somewhat hesitant!
But for Ye Tian, this price is just the beginning.
It’s time to fight and get this pear-shaped pink diamond as soon as possible. The real show is yet to come!
Before raising the sign to bid, Ye Tian looked back at Mr. Liu from Hong Kong, smiled and whispered:
"Mr. Liu, I like this pear-shaped pink diamond very much. I want to take a photo of it and give it to my girlfriend. In other words, I am going to bid. If I have offended you in any way, please forgive me!"
"It doesn't matter, Xiaoye, this is a public auction. Anyone can compete at the scene. The highest bidder wins. It's very fair. You can feel free to raise your sign and bid!
Besides, I also want to see if your demeanor at the auction is as ruthless and invincible as the legend says! It's also a pleasure! "
Mr. Liu smiled and whispered, without any sign of displeasure.
"That's great, Mr. Liu, I'll start now!"
After saying that, Ye Tian turned back and looked at the auction table in front of him.
When the auctioneer loudly announced the latest price of 15.5 million euros and asked if anyone would bid, Ye Tian raised his bidding sign for the first time and resolutely reported his price. .
"Mr. Larsson, 17 million euros!"
Ye Tian's high-pitched voice instantly spread throughout the front row of the auction hall and reached the ears of all the heavyweight buyers in the front row.
The latest price he reported was like a depth charge, blowing up half of the auction hall and causing a cry of exclamation!
"Oh my god! Seventeen million euros, did I hear you right? How can there be any profit margin here? At this price, you can buy this pear-shaped pink diamond, plus a hefty commission, and you won't lose anything. What a blessing!
This guy Steven is exactly like the legend. He is a veritable crocodile in the auction house. He is ruthless and decisive. As long as he sees something he likes, he will never let it go! "
"Unlike us, he doesn't have to think about profit at all. He just relies on his own preferences. It can be seen that he is planning to give this pear-shaped pink diamond to his girlfriend. How generous!
More importantly, Steven is a super rich man with a large amount of cash at his disposal that he can spend as he pleases! Under such circumstances, how can you compete with him?
With his momentum, there is no doubt that this pear-shaped pink diamond will definitely fall into the hands of this guy, unless someone is willing to risk huge losses and go head-to-head with Steven! "
While exclaiming and talking, almost everyone at the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were full of fear and envy!
Mr. Liu, who was sitting behind Ye Tian, chuckled and shook his head and said:
"My eyes are open, Xiaoye, you are indeed crazy! It seems that you are bound to get this pear-shaped pink diamond, so I'd better call it a day and retreat, so as not to do useless work and waste my feelings!"
Mr. Liu withdrew from the competition. Mr. Zheng, who was not far away, also shook his head regretfully and announced his withdrawal from the competition. Several other heavyweight buyers also withdrew from the competition.
In the blink of an eye, there were only two buyers competing for this pear-shaped pink diamond. One was naturally Ye Tian, and the other was the British jewelry tycoon Lawrence!
When the auctioneer Larson loudly announced the price of 17.5 million euros, Lawrence pondered for a moment, then gritted his back teeth, raised the bidding number, and accepted the price!
The next moment, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian to see what reaction he would give!
That old guy Lawrence also looked over here, hoping that Ye Tian would stop and let him successfully win the pear-shaped pink diamond!
However, he saw the scene he least expected to see and heard a new offer that made his eyelids jump wildly and made him completely despair.
"Larsson, 19 million euros!"
The bidding number plate in Ye Tian's hand was raised again, and a clear and clear voice came out, loud and clear!
Unsurprisingly, the auction hall exploded again!
